1 Samoela 28
1 Ie amy andro zay; nifanontoñe hifañotakotak’ añ’ aly am’Israele o lahin-defon-te-Pilistio; le hoe t’i Akise amy Davide, Mahafohina an-katò t’ie ro hindre amako mb’an-kotakotake rekets’ ondati’oo.
Now in those days the Philistines gathered their forces for warfare against Israel. So Achish said to David, “You must understand that you and your men are to go out to battle with me.”
2 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Akise, Toe ho isa’o ty hanoe’ o mpitoro’oo. Le hoe t’i Akise amy Davide: Aa le ihe ho mpañambeñe ty lohako nainai’e.
David replied, “Then you will come to know what your servant can do.” “Very well,” said Achish. “I will make you my bodyguard for life.”
3 Ie amy zao fa nivilasy t’i Samoele le hene nandala aze t’Israele naho nalente’ iareo e Ramà an-drova’e ao. Toe fa natao’ i Saole soike amy taney ze jiny naho mpandrombo.
Now by this time Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed the mediums and spiritists from the land.
4 Aa le nifanontoñe naho nimb’e Soneme mb’eo o nte-Pilistio naho nitobe eo; fonga natonto’ i Saole ka t’Israele vaho nitobe e Gilboa ao.
The Philistines came together and camped at Shunem, while Saul gathered all Israel and camped at Gilboa.
5 Aa ie nioni’ i Saole ty hatsifotofoto’ o nte-Pilistio, le nihembañe vaho nangebahebake añ’ arofo.
When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid and trembled violently.
6 Nañontanea’ i Saole t’Iehovà, fe tsy nanoiñe aze t’Iehovà, ndra ami’ty nofy ndra ami’ty Orime ndra am-pitoky.
He inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets.
7 Aa le hoe t’i Saole amo mpitoro’eo: Ipaiao rakemba jiny hombàko hañontaneako. Le hoe o mpitoro’eo ama’e: Inao, te Endore ao ty rakemba jiny.
Then Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I can go and consult her.” “There is a medium at Endor,” his servants replied.
8 Aa le nañova vintañe t’i Saole naho nañova saroñe naho nindre lia ami’ty lahilahy roe vaho nivotrak’ amy rakembay haleñe; le hoe re, ehe miambane ama’o mizekèa ho ahy naho trobòho hiakara’ i ho toñoneko tahinañe ama’oy.
So Saul disguised himself by putting on different clothes, and he set out with two of his men. They came to the woman at night, and Saul said, “Consult a spirit for me. Bring up for me the one I name.”
9 Le hoe i rakembay ama’e, Inao, toe fohi’o i nanoe’ i Saoley, te niroahe’e an-tane atoy o jinio naho o doanio; aa le ino ty andamaha’o fandrik’ ami’ty fiaiko, hampikenkañe ahy?
But the woman replied, “Surely you know what Saul has done, how he has killed the mediums and spiritists in the land. Why have you set a trap to get me killed?”
10 Aa le nifanta ama’e t’i Saole amy Iehovà ami’ty hoe: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, tsy hanan-kakeo irehe amo raha zao.
Then Saul swore to her by the LORD: “As surely as the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this.”
11 Le hoe i rakembay: Ia ty hakareko? Le hoe re: ampionjono t’i Samoele.
“Whom shall I bring up for you?” the woman asked. “Bring up Samuel,” he replied.
12 Aa ie nahaoniñe i Samoele i rakembay le nikoaik’ am-peo mafe; le hoe i rakembay amy Saole, Ino ty namañahia’o ahy? Toe ihe o Saoleo!
But when the woman saw Samuel, she cried out in a loud voice and said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!”
13 le hoe i mpanjakay ama’e, Ko hemban-drehe. Ino o oni’oo? Le hoe i rakembay amy Saole, nahatrea zañahare mionjoñe boak’ an-tane ao.
“Do not be afraid,” the king replied. “What do you see?” “I see a god coming up out of the earth,” the woman answered.
14 Le hoe re, Manao akore ty vinta’e? Le hoe re: Mb’etoa t’indaty bey mikolopoke sarimbo. Le nifohi’ i Saole t’ie i Samoele vaho nidrakadrakak’ an-tane niambane ama’e.
“What does he look like?” asked Saul. “An old man is coming up,” she replied. “And he is wearing a robe.” So Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed facedown in reverence.
15 Le hoe t’i Samoele amy Saole, Ino ty nitsoborea’o ahy hampionjona’o? Le hoe t’i Saole, Am-poheke iraho; mialy amako o nte-Pilistio fe nienga ahy t’i Andrianañahare, tsy manoiñe ahy ka ndra am-pitoky ndra ama’ nofy; aa le nikoiheko irehe hampahafohiñ’ ahy ty hanoeko.
Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” “I am deeply distressed,” replied Saul. “The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has turned away from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do.”
16 Aa le hoe t’i Samoele, ino arè ty hañontanea’o ahy kanao namorintseñ’ azo t’Iehovà vaho fa rafelahi’o re henaneo?
“Why do you consult me,” asked Samuel, “since the LORD has turned away from you and become your enemy?
17 Fa toe nanoe’ Iehovà i nitsarae’e amakoy! Toe tinava’ Iehovà ama’o ty fifehea’o vaho fa natolo’e an-drañe’o Davide;
He has done exactly what He spoke through me: The LORD has torn the kingship out of your hand and given it to your neighbor David.
18 amy te tsy nihaoñe’o ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà, tsy nihenefe’o amy Amaleke ty haviñera’e miforoforo; toly ndra nampifetsaha’ Iehovà o raha zao anindroany.
Because you did not obey the LORD or carry out His burning anger against Amalek, the LORD has done this to you today.
19 Aa le hatolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio t’Israele naho ihe ka, le hitraok’ amako irehe naho o ana-dahi’oo te maray; vaho hasese’ Iehovà am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio i tobe’ Israeley.
Moreover, the LORD will deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. And the LORD will deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.”
20 Nilàntsiñe an-tane eo ami’ty hajoalan-tsandri’e t’i Saole fa naharevendreveñe aze ty enta’ i Samoeley; ie tsy aman-kaozarañe, fa tsy nikama mofo amy àndroy ndra amy haleñe iabiy.
Immediately Saul fell flat on the ground, terrified by the words of Samuel. And his strength was gone, because he had not eaten anything all that day and night.
21 Aa le nañarine amy Saole i rakembay vaho nioni’e te nangebahebake ty fiai’e, le hoe re ama’e: Inay! hinao’ o mpitoroñ’ ampela’oo ty fiarañanaña’o, naho napoko an-tañako ty fiaiko le nihaoñeko o saontsy nanoe’o amakoo;
When the woman came to Saul and saw how distraught he was, she said to him, “Look, your maidservant has obeyed your voice. I took my life in my hands and did as you told me.
22 aa ehe te ho haoñe’o ka ty feo’ o anak’ ampata’oo, le angao hanjotsoako mofo minjilite’e; vaho mikamà hihaozara’o, hañaveloa’o mb’ am-pomba’o mb’eo.
Now please listen to your servant and let me set a morsel of bread before you so you may eat and have the strength to go on your way.”
23 F’ie nifoneñe, ami’ty hoe: Tsy hihinan-draho. Aa le sambe nandrisik’ aze o mpitoro’eo rekets’ i rakembay vaho hinao’e o fiarañanaña’ iareoo. Nitroatse boak’ an-tane re le niambesatse am-pandreañe eo.
Saul refused, saying, “I will not eat.” But his servants joined the woman in urging him, and he heeded their voice. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
24 Nanañe bania vinondrak’ añ’ anjomba’e ao i rakembay, le nihepakepake nandenta aze; le rinambe’e ty mona, naho nibokobokoe’e naho nitoñafe’e ama’e ty mofo tsy aman-dalivay;
The woman had a fattened calf at her house, and she quickly slaughtered it. She also took flour, kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread.
25 vaho nazotso’e amy Saole, naho amo mpitoro’eo; le nikama iereo. Niongak’ amy zao iereo niavotse mb’eo haleñe.
She served it to Saul and his servants, and they ate. And that night they got up and left.
