< ၁ ဓမ္မရာဇဝင် 28 >
1 ၁ ထို ကာလ ၌ ဖိလိတ္တိ လူတို့သည်၊ ဣသရေလ အမျိုးကို စစ်တိုက် အံ့သောငှါ ဗိုလ်ခြေ များကို စုဝေး ကြ၏။ အာခိတ် မင်းကလည်း ၊ သင် သည် လူ များပါလျက် ငါ နှင့် လိုက်၍စစ်တိုက်သွား ရမည်ကို ဆက်ဆက်သဘောကျ လော့ဟု ဒါဝိဒ် အား ဆို လျှင်၊
౧ఆ రోజుల్లో ఫిలిష్తీయులు ఇశ్రాయేలీయులతో యుద్ధం చేయాలని సైన్యాలను సమకూర్చుకుని యుద్ధానికి సిద్ధమయ్యారు. ఆకీషు దావీదును పిలిచి “నువ్వు, నీ మనుషులు నాతో కలసి యుద్ధానికి బయలుదేరాలని జ్ఞాపకం ఉంచుకో” అన్నాడు.
2 ၂ ဒါဝိဒ် က၊ အကယ်စင်စစ် ကိုယ်တော် ကျွန် သည် အဘယ်သို့ ပြု နိုင်သည်ကို ကိုယ်တော် သည် သိ တော်မူလိမ့်မည်ဟု လျှောက် သော် ၊ အာခိတ် မင်းက၊ သို့ဖြစ်၍သင့် ကို ငါ့အသက် စောင့် ဗိုလ်ချုပ်အရာ၌ ငါခန့် မည်ဟုပြန်ပြော ၏။
౨దావీదు “నీ దాసుడనైన నేను నీకు చేయబోయే సహాయం ఏమిటో అది నువ్వు ఇప్పుడు తెలుసుకుంటావు” అన్నాడు. ఆకీషు “ఆలాగైతే నిన్ను ఎప్పటికీ నా సొంత సంరక్షకుడుగా నియమించుకుంటాను” అన్నాడు.
3 ၃ ထိုကာလ၌ ရှမွေလ မရှိသေ လွန်ပြီ။ ဣသရေလ အမျိုးသားအပေါင်း တို့သည် ငိုကြွေး မြည်တမ်းခြင်းကို ပြုလျက် ၊ သူ့ ကိုသူ နေရင်း ရာမ မြို့ ၌ သင်္ဂြိုဟ် ကြပြီ။ ရှောလု သည် စုန်း နှင့် နတ်ဝင် ပေါင်းတို့ကို တပြည်လုံး တွင် သုတ်သင် ပယ်ရှင်းနှင့်ပြီ။
౩సమూయేలు చనిపోయినపుడు ఇశ్రాయేలు ప్రజలంతా అతని కోసం ఏడ్చి, అతని సొంత పట్టణమైన రమాలో అతణ్ణి పాతిపెట్టారు. సౌలు, చచ్చినవాళ్ళతో, ఆత్మలతో మాట్లాడేవారిని తన దేశం నుండి వెళ్లగొట్టాడు.
4 ၄ ထိုအခါ ဖိလိတ္တိ လူတို့သည် စုဝေး ၍ ရှုနင် မြို့မှာ တပ်ချ ကြ၏။ ရှောလု သည်လည်း ဣသရလ အမျိုးသားအပေါင်း တို့ကို စုဝေး စေ၍ သူတို့သည် ဂိလဗော မြို့မှာ တပ်ချ ကြ၏။
౪ఫిలిష్తీయులు దండెత్తి వచ్చి షూనేములో శిబిరం వేసుకున్నప్పుడు, సౌలు ఇశ్రాయేలీయులందరినీ సమకూర్చాడు. వారు గిల్బోవ లోయలో మకాం వేసారు.
5 ၅ ရှောလု သည် ဖိလိတ္တိ လူအလုံးအရင်း ကို မြင် သောအခါ ကြောက် ၍ အလွန် တုန်လှုပ် သော စိတ် နှလုံးရှိ၏။
౫సౌలు ఫిలిష్తీయుల సైన్యాన్ని చూసినపుడు మనస్సులో విపరీతమైన భయం పెంచుకుని
6 ၆ ထာဝရဘုရား ကို မေးလျှောက် သော်လည်း ထာဝရဘုရား သည် ထူး တော်မ မူ။ အိပ်မက် အားဖြင့် ၎င်း ၊ ဥရိမ် အားဖြင့် ၎င်း ၊ ပရောဖက် အားဖြင့် ၎င်း ထူးတော်မမူ။
౬యెహోవా దగ్గర విచారణ చేసాడు. యెహోవా కల ద్వారా గానీ, ఊరీం ద్వారా గానీ, ప్రవక్తల ద్వారా గానీ ఏమీ జవాబివ్వలేదు.
7 ၇ ထိုအခါ ရှောလု က၊ နတ်ဝင် မိန်းမ ကို ရှာ ကြလော့။ ငါသွား ၍ မေးမြန်း မည်ဟု ကျွန် တို့အား ဆို သည်အတိုင်း ၊ ကျွန် တို့က အင်္ဒေါရ မြို့မှာ နတ်ဝင် မိန်းမ တယောက်ရှိပါ၏ဟု လျှောက် သော်၊
౭అప్పుడు సౌలు “నా కోసం మీరు మృతులతో మాట్లాడే ఒక స్త్రీని వెదకండి. నేను వెళ్ళి ఆమె ద్వారా విచారణ చేస్తాను” అని తన సేవకులకు ఆజ్ఞ ఇస్తే, వారు “అలాగే, ఏన్దోరులో మృతులతో మాట్లాడే ఒక స్త్రీ ఉంది” అని అతనితో చెప్పారు.
8 ၈ ရှောလု သည် အဝတ် လဲ၍ ထူးခြားသော အယောင် ကို ဆောင်လျက် ၊ ညဉ့် အခါ လူ နှစ် ယောက်နှင့်တကွ ထိုမိန်းမ ဆီသို့ သွား ၍ ရောက် ပြီးလျှင် ၊ သင်ပေါင်းသော နတ် ကို အမှီပြု၍ သင့် အား ငါပြော မည့်သူ ကို ဘော် ပါလော့ဟု တောင်းပန် လေ၏။
౮సౌలు మారువేషం వేసుకుని వేరే దుస్తులు ధరించి ఇద్దరు సహాయకులను వెంట తీసుకుని వెళ్ళి, రాత్రి సమయంలో ఆ స్త్రీతో “మృతులతో మాట్లాడి నాకు శకునం చెప్పి, నాతో మాట్లాడడానికి నేను నీతో చెప్పే వ్యక్తిని రప్పించు” అని కోరాడు.
9 ၉ မိန်းမ ကလည်း ၊ ရှောလု ပြု သော အမှု၊ စုန်း နှင့် နတ်ဝင် တို့ကို တပြည်လုံး တွင် သုတ်သင် ဖယ်ရှင်းသော အမှုကို သင်သည် သိ လျက်နှင့် ငါ့ ကို သေ စေခြင်းငှါ အဘယ်ကြောင့် ငါ့ အသက် ကို ကျော့စမ်း သနည်းဟု ပြန်ပြော သော်၊
౯ఆ స్త్రీ, అలాగే “సౌలు ఏం చేయించాడో నీకు తెలియదా? అతడు చచ్చినవాళ్ళతో, ఆత్మలతో మాట్లాడే వారిని దేశంలో లేకుండా తరిమివేశాడు కదా. నువ్వు నా ప్రాణం కోసం ఉరివేసి నాకు చావు వచ్చేలా చేస్తావు” అని అతనితో అంది.
10 ၁၀ ရှောလု က၊ ထာဝရဘုရား အသက် ရှင်တော်မူသည်အတိုင်း၊ ဤ အမှု ကြောင့် အဘယ်အပြစ် မျှ မ ရောက် ရဟု ထာဝရဘုရား ကို တိုင်တည် ၍ ကျိန်ဆိုလေ၏။
౧౦అప్పుడు సౌలు “దేవుని తోడు, దీన్ని బట్టి నీకు శిక్ష ఎంతమాత్రం రాదు” అని యెహోవా పేరున ఒట్టు పెట్టుకొంటే,
11 ၁၁ မိန်းမ ကလည်း ၊ အဘယ်သူ ကို ငါဘော် ရမည်နည်းဟုမေး လျှင် ၊ ရှောလုက၊ ရှမွေလ ကို ဘော် ပါဟု ဆို ၏။
౧౧ఆ స్త్రీ “నీతో మాట్లాడడం కోసం ఎవరిని రప్పించాలి” అని అడిగింది. అతడు “సమూయేలును రప్పించాలి” అని కోరాడు.
12 ၁၂ မိန်းမ သည် ရှမွေလ ကို မြင် သောအခါ ကြီး သောအသံ နှင့် အော်ဟစ် ၍ ၊ ကိုယ်တော်သည် ကျွန်မ ကို အဘယ်ကြောင့် လှည့်စား သနည်း။ ကိုယ်တော် သည် ရှောလု ဖြစ်ပါ၏ဟု ရှောလု အား ဆို လျှင်၊
౧౨ఆ స్త్రీ సమూయేలును చూసి గట్టిగా కేకవేసి “నీవు సౌలువి గదా, నీవు నన్నెందుకు మోసం చేశావు” అని సౌలును అడిగితే,
13 ၁၃ ရှင် ဘုရင်က မ စိုးရိမ် နှင့်။ အဘယ် အရာကို မြင် သနည်းဟုမေး သော် ၊ မိန်းမ က၊ မြေကြီး ထဲက ဘုရား တက်လာ သည်ကို ကျွန်မမြင် ပါသည်ဟု လျှောက် ၏။
౧౩రాజు “నువ్వు భయపడవద్దు. నీకు ఏమి కనబడిందో చెప్పు” అని ఆమెను అడిగితే “దేవుళ్ళలో ఒకడు భూమిలోనుండి పైకి రావడం నేను చూస్తున్నాను” అని చెప్పింది.
14 ၁၄ အဘယ်သို့ သော အယောင် ဆောင်သနည်းဟုမေး ပြန်သော် ၊ လူ အို တက်လာ ပါ၏။ ဝတ်လုံ ခြုံ လျက် ရှိပါ၏ဟု လျှောက် ပြန်လျှင် ၊ ရှမွေလ ဖြစ်ကြောင်း ကို ရှောလု သည် ရိပ်မိ လျှင် မြေ ပေါ် ၌ ဦးညွှတ် ပြပ်ဝပ်လျက် နေ၏။
౧౪రాజు “అతడు ఏ రూపంలో ఉన్నాడు” అని అడిగాడు. ఆమె “దుప్పటి కప్పుకుని ఉన్న ఒక ముసలివాడు పైకి వస్తున్నాడు” అని చెబితే, సౌలు, అతడు సమూయేలు అని గ్రహించి సాగిలపడి నమస్కారం చేశాడు.
15 ၁၅ ရှမွေလ ကလည်း ၊ သင်သည် ငါ့ ကို နှောက်ရှက် လျက် အဘယ်ကြောင့် ဘော် သနည်းဟု ရှောလု ကို မေး သော် ၊ ရှောလု က၊ အကျွန်ုပ် သည် အလွန် ဆင်းရဲ ခြင်းသို့ရောက်ပါပြီ။ ဖိလိတ္တိ လူတို့သည် စစ်တိုက် ကြပါ၏။ ဘုရား သခင်သည် အကျွန်ုပ် ကို စွန့် တော်မူပြီ။ ပရောဖက် အားဖြင့် ထူး တော်မ မူ။ အိပ်မက် အားဖြင့် ထူးတော်မမူ။ အကျွန်ုပ် သည် အဘယ်သို့ ပြု ရမည်ကို၊ ကိုယ်တော် ပြ စေခြင်းငှါ ကိုယ်တော်ကို အကျွန်ုပ်ခေါ် ပါပြီဟု ပြောဆို ၏။
౧౫“నన్ను రమ్మని నువ్వెందుకు తొందరపెట్టావు” అని సమూయేలు సౌలును అడిగాడు. సౌలు “నేను తీవ్రమైన బాధల్లో ఉన్నాను. ఫిలిష్తీయులు నా మీదికి దండెత్తి వస్తే దేవుడు నన్ను పక్కన పెట్టి ప్రవక్తల ద్వారా గానీ, కలల ద్వారా గానీ నాకేమీ జవాబివ్వలేదు. కాబట్టి నేను ఏమి చేయాలో నాకు తెలియజేయడానికి నిన్ను పిలిపించాను” అన్నాడు.
16 ၁၆ ရှမွေလ ကလည်း ၊ ထာဝရဘုရား သည် သင့် ကို စွန့် ၍ သင့် ရန်ဘက် ဖြစ် တော်မူသည် မှန်လျှင် ၊ ငါ့ ကို အဘယ်ကြောင့် မေးမြန်း သေးသနည်း။
౧౬అప్పుడు సమూయేలు “యెహోవా నిన్ను పక్కన పెట్టి నీకు విరోధి అయ్యాడు. ఇప్పుడు నన్ను అడగడం వల్ల ప్రయోజనం ఏంటి?
17 ၁၇ ထာဝရဘုရား သည် ငါ့ အားဖြင့် မိန့် တော်မူသည်အတိုင်း သင်၌ပြု တော်မူပြီ။ ထာဝရဘုရား သည် ဤနိုင်ငံ ကို သင့် လက် မှ နှုတ် ၍ ၊ သင့် အိမ်နီးချင်း ဒါဝိဒ် အား ပေး တော်မူပြီ။
౧౭యెహోవా తన జవాబును తానే స్వయంగా వెల్లడిస్తున్నాడు. నా ద్వారా ఆయన సెలవిచ్చినట్టు, నీ చేతిలో నుండి రాజ్యాన్ని తీసివేసి నీ సేవకుడు దావీదుకు దాన్ని ఇచ్చివేశాడు.
18 ၁၈ အကြောင်းမူကား၊ သင်သည် ထာဝရဘုရား ၏ စကား တော်ကို နား မ ထောင်။ ပြင်းစွာ သော အမျက် တော်ကို အာမလက် အမျိုး၌ မ စီရင် သောကြောင့် ၊ ထာဝရဘုရား သည် ဤ အမှု ကို ယနေ့ သင် ၌ ရောက်စေတော်မူပြီ။
౧౮యెహోవా ఆజ్ఞకు నువ్వు లోబడకుండా, అమాలేకీయుల విషయంలో ఆయన తీక్షణమైన ఉగ్రతను అమలు చేయలేదు కాబట్టి దాన్ని బట్టి యెహోవా నీకు ఈ రోజు ఈ విధంగా జరిగిస్తున్నాడు.
19 ၁၉ ထိုမှတပါး သင် နှင့် ဣသရေလ အမျိုးကို ဖိလိတ္တိ လူတို့လက် ၌ အပ် တော်မူမည်။ နက်ဖြန် နေ့ သင် နှင့် သင် ၏သား တို့သည် ငါ နှင့်အတူ ရှိလိမ့်မည်။ ထာဝရဘုရား သည် ဣသရေလ လူ အလုံးအရင်း ကို ဖိလိတ္တိ လူတို့လက် ၌ အပ် တော်မူမည်ဟု ဆို ၏။
౧౯యెహోవా నిన్నూ, ఇశ్రాయేలీయులనూ ఫిలిష్తీయుల చేతికి అప్పగిస్తాడు. రేపు నువ్వు, నీ కొడుకులు నా దగ్గరికి చేరుకుంటారు. యెహోవా ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల సైన్యాన్ని ఫిలిష్తీయుల చేతికి అప్పగిస్తాడు” అని సౌలుతో చెప్పాడు.
20 ၂၀ ထိုအခါ ရှောလု သည် မြေ ပေါ် မှာ အလျား ပြပ်ဝပ် လဲနေ၍ ၊ ရှမွေလ စကား ကြောင့် အလွန် ကြောက်ရွံ့ ၏။ တနေ့ နှင့် တညဉ့်လုံး အဘယ်အစာ ကိုမျှ မ စား ဘဲနေသောကြောင့်အား ကုန်ပြီ။
౨౦సమూయేలు చెప్పిన మాటలకు సౌలు తీవ్రమైన భయంతో వెంటనే నేలపై సాష్టాంగపడి రాత్రి అంతా భోజనం ఏమీ తీసుకోకుండా ఉన్నందువల్ల బలహీనుడయ్యాడు.
21 ၂၁ ထိုမိန်းမ သည်လာ ၍ ရှောလု အလွန် စိတ်ညစ် သည်ကို မြင် လျှင် ၊ ကိုယ်တော် ကျွန် မသည် ကိုယ်တော် စကား ကို နားထောင် ပါပြီ။ ကိုယ် အသက် ကို မနှမြောဘဲ ကိုယ်တော် မိန့် တော်မူသော စကား ကို နားထောင် ပါပြီ။
౨౧అప్పుడు ఆ స్త్రీ సౌలు దగ్గరికి వచ్చి, అతడు ఎంతో కలవరపడడం చూసి “నా యజమానీ, నీ దాసినైన నేను నీ ఆజ్ఞకు లోబడి నా ప్రాణాలు అర చేతిలో పెట్టుకుని నువ్వు నాకు చెప్పిన మాటలు విని అలా చేశాను” అని చెప్పింది.
22 ၂၂ သို့ဖြစ်၍ ယခု ကိုယ်တော် ကျွန် မ၏ စကား ကို နားထောင် တော်မူပါ။ စားစရာ အနည်းငယ် ကို ရှေ့ တော်၌ တင် ပါရစေ။ ကိုယ်တော်ကြွ သွားသောအခါ အား ပြည့်စေခြင်းငှါစား တော်ခေါ်ပါဟု လျှောက် သော်လည်း၊
౨౨ఇప్పుడు “నీ దాసినైన నేను చెప్పే మాటలు విను. నేను నీకు కొంత ఆహారం వడ్డిస్తాను, నువ్వు భోజనం చేసి బలం తెచ్చుకుని ప్రయాణమై వెళ్ళు” అని అతనితో అంది.
23 ၂၃ ရှောလုက ငါမ စား ဟု ငြင်းပယ် လေ၏။ သို့ရာတွင် ကျွန် တို့သည် မိန်းမ နှင့် ဝိုင်း၍ အနိုင် ပြုကြသဖြင့် ၊ ရှောလုသည် သူ တို့စကား ကို နားထောင် ၍ မြေ ပေါ်က ထ ပြီးလျှင် ခုတင် ပေါ် မှာ ထိုင် လေ၏။
౨౩అతడు భోజనం చేసేందుకు ఒప్పుకోలేదు. అతని సేవకులు ఆ స్త్రీతో కలసి అతనిని బలవంతం చేస్తే అతడు వారు చెప్పిన మాట విని నేలపై నుండి లేచి మంచంపై కూర్చున్నాడు.
24 ၂၄ ထိုမိန်းမ သည် မိမိအိမ် ၌ ဆူ အောင်ကျွေးသော နွား ကလေးတကောင်ရှိသည်ဖြစ်၍ အလျင်အမြန် သတ် လေ၏။ မုန့်ညက် ကိုလည်း ယူ ၍ နယ် သဖြင့် ၊ တဆေးမဲ့ မုန့်ကို ဖုတ် ပြီးမှ၊
౨౪ఆ స్త్రీ తన ఇంట్లో ఉన్న కొవ్విన దూడ తెచ్చి త్వరగా వధించి, పిండి తెచ్చి పిసికి, పులవని రొట్టెలు కాల్చి
25 ၂၅ ရှောလု နှင့် ကျွန် များတို့ ရှေ့ ၌ တင် လေ၏။ သူတို့သည် စား ၍ ထို ညဉ့် တွင် ထ သွား ကြ၏။
౨౫తీసుకువచ్చి సౌలుకు, అతని సేవకులకు వడ్డిస్తే వారు భోజనం చేసి అక్కడి నుంచి ఆ రాత్రే వెళ్లిపోయారు.
