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.
Around that time the Philistines called up their armies to go to war against Israel. So Achish told David, “You do realize that you and your men must accompany me as part of the army.”
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.
“That's fine!” David replied. “Then you yourself will discover what I, your servant, can do.” “That's fine too,” Achish responded. “I'll 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.
By now Samuel had died, and all of Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his home town. Saul had got rid of mediums and spiritists from the country.
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 Philistine armies gathered and set up camp at Shunem. Saul called up all the Israelite army and set up camp 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 terrified, shaking with fear.
6 Nañontanea’ i Saole t’Iehovà, fe tsy nanoiñe aze t’Iehovà, ndra ami’ty nofy ndra ami’ty Orime ndra am-pitoky.
He asked advice from the Lord, but the Lord didn't answer him either by dreams or by Urim or by 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.
So Saul told his officers, “Find me a woman who is a medium so I can go and ask her advice.” “There's a woman who is a medium at Endor,” his officers 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.
Saul disguised himself by wearing different clothes. He went with two of his men to the woman at night. Saul told her, “Bring up a spirit for me so I can ask some questions. I'll give you the 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?
“Don't you know what Saul has done,” she replied. “He's got rid of the mediums and spiritists from the country. Are you trying to set a trap for me and 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.
Saul swore an oath to her by the Lord, “As the Lord lives, you won't be held guilty for doing this.”
11 Le hoe i rakembay: Ia ty hakareko? Le hoe re: ampionjono t’i Samoele.
“Who do you want me to 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 shouted loudly, and said to Saul, “Why have you tricked me? You're 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.
“Don't be scared,” The king told her. “What can you see?” “I see a god coming up out of the ground,” the woman replied.
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?” Saul asked. “An old man is coming up,” she replied. “He has a robe wrapped around him” Saul thought it must be Samuel, and he bowed facedown in respect.
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.
Samuel said to Saul, “Why are you bothering me by bringing me up?” “I'm in terrible trouble,” Saul replied. “The Philistines are attacking me, and God has abandoned me. He doesn't answer me anymore, either by prophets or by dreams. That's why I have called you up so you 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 come and ask me when the Lord has abandoned you and has become your enemy?” Samuel asked.
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;
“The Lord has done to you exactly what he said through me, for Lord has ripped the kingdom from you and has 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.
The Lord has done this to you today because you did not do what the Lord commanded and you did not execute his furious anger on the Amalekites.
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.
The Lord will hand over Israel and you yourself to the Philistines. Tomorrow you and your sons will die and be with me. The Lord will also hand over the Israelite army of Israel to 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.
Saul collapsed face down on the ground, terrified at what Samuel had said. He had no strength, because he hadn't 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;
The woman came over to Saul and saw that he was absolutely terrified. She told him, “Look, sir, I did what you asked. I risked my life and did what 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 do what I tell you. Let me bring you a little bit of food. Eat it, and you'll 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.
But he refused, saying, “I can't eat anything.” But his men and the woman encouraged him to eat, and he did what they said. 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 the house, and she quickly went and slaughtered it. She also got some flour, kneaded it, and baked some 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 the meal to Saul and his men, and they ate it. Then they got up and left, the same night.
