1 Samuels 28
1 I dei dagarne fylkte filistarane krigsherane sine til strid mot Israel. Og Akis sagde med David: «Det skal du vita for visst, at du og kararne dine lyt fara i herferd med meg!»
And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shall go out with me in the army, thou and thy men.
2 David svara Akis: «Ja vel, då skal du ogso røyna kva tenaren din duger til!» Akis sagde med David: «Ja vel, so set eg deg til livvakt hjå meg alle dagar.»
And David said to Achish, Therefore thou shall know what thy servant will do. And Achish said to David, Therefore I will make thee my chief bodyguard forever.
3 Samuel var dåen. Heile Israel hadde gråte yver honom. Og dei hadde gravlagt honom heime i Rama. Og Saul hadde rudt ut or landet deim som mana fram draugar og spåvette.
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those who had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
4 Filistarane fylgte seg og lagde seg i læger attmed Sunem. Då fylkte ogso Saul heile Israel, og dei lægra seg ved Gilboa.
And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem. And Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa.
5 Då Saul såg filistarlægret, vart han so rædd at hjarta hans skalv.
And when Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
6 Og Saul spurde Herren. Men Herren svara honom ikkje, antan gjenom draumar eller gjenom urim eller gjenom profetar.
And when Saul inquired of Jehovah, Jehovah answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
7 Då sagde Saul med tenarane sine: «Leita upp for meg ei som manar fram draugar, so gjeng eg åt henne og gjer spursmål til henne.» Tenarane svara: «I En-Dor er ei kona som manar fram draugar.»
Then Saul said to his servants, Seek me a woman who has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman who has a familiar spirit at En-dor.
8 Saul gjorde seg ukjenneleg, tok på seg andre klæde, og gjekk avstad med tvo fylgjesveinar. Dei kom til kona nattars tid. Og han sagde: «Få ein draug til å spå meg! Mana fram åt meg den eg nemner for deg!»
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and went, he and two men with him. And they came to the woman by night, and he said, Divine to me, I pray thee, by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whomever I shall name to thee.
9 Kona svara: «Du veit då sjølv kva Saul hev gjort, at han hev rudt ut or landet deim som manar fram draugar og spåvette. Kvifor vil du då leggja ut snaror for meg, so eg må lata livet?»
And the woman said to him, Behold, thou know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land. Why then do thou lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
10 Saul svor ein eid til henne ved Herren og sagde: «So sant Herren liver: ingi skuld skal råka deg for denne saki!»
And Saul swore to her by Jehovah, saying, As Jehovah lives, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
11 Kona spurde: «Kven vil du eg skal mana for deg?» Han svara: «Mana fram åt meg Samuel!»
Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up to thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
12 Då kona fekk sjå Samuel, sette ho i eit høgt skrik. Og ho sagde med Saul: «Kvifor hev du svike meg? Du er Saul!»
And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice. And the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why have thou deceived me? For thou are Saul.
13 Kongen svara: «Ver hugheil! Kva er det du ser?» Kona sagde: «Eg ser ein gud koma upp or jordi.»
And the king said to her, Be not afraid, for what do thou see? And the woman said to Saul, I see a god coming up out of the earth.
14 «Korleis ser han ut?» spurde han. Ho svara: «Det er ein gamall mann som kjem upp, sveipt i ei kåpa.» Då skyna Saul det var Samuel, og lutte andlitet mot jordi og bøygde seg for honom.
And he said to her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man comes up, and he is covered with a robe. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance.
15 Og Samuel spurde Saul: «Kvi uroar du meg og manar meg fram?» Saul svara: «Eg er i stor naud. Filistarane fører krig mot meg, og Gud hev vike frå meg og svarar meg ikkje, anten gjenom profetar eller gjenom draumar. Difor kalla eg på deg, so eg fær vita kva eg skal gjera.»
And Samuel said to Saul, Why have thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am greatly distressed, for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answers me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams. Therefore I have called thee, that thou may make known to me what I shall do.
16 Samuel svara: «Kvi spør du meg, når Herren hev vike frå deg og hev vorte uvenen din?
And Samuel said, Why then do thou ask of me, since Jehovah departed from thee, and has become thine adversary?
17 Herren hev no gjort med deg som han sagde gjenom min munn: Herren hev rive riket ut or di hand og gjeve det åt ein annan, åt David.
And Jehovah has done to thee, as he spoke by me. And Jehovah has torn the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy neighbor, even to David.
18 Av di du ikkje lydde Herren og ikkje let den brennande harmen hans råka Amalek, difor hev Herren gjort dette mot deg no.
Because thou obeyed not the voice of Jehovah, and did not execute his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore Jehovah has done this thing to thee this day.
19 Herren vil gjeva både deg og Israel i filistarmagt. I morgon skal du og sønerne dine vera hjå meg. Og jamvel Israels-lægret vil Herren gjeva i filistarmagt.»
Moreover Jehovah will deliver Israel also with thee into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow thou and thy sons shall be with me. Jehovah will also deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
20 Då datt Saul brått til jordi so lang han var; so forfærd vart han for ordi frå Samuel. Magtløysa tok honom; for han hadde ikkje smaka matbiten eit heilt døger.
Then Saul fell straightaway his full length upon the earth, and was greatly afraid because of the words of Samuel, and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
21 Kona gjekk fram åt Saul. Og då ho såg kor reint forstøkt han var, sagde ho med honom: «Sjå terna di lydde deg, og eg våga livet og rette meg etter dei ordi du tala åt meg.
And the woman came to Saul, and saw that he was greatly troubled, and said to him, Behold, thy handmaid has hearkened to thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened to thy words which thou spoke to me.
22 So lyd no du terna di, so vil eg setja fram litevetta mat åt deg, og du må eta, so du kann magtast att fyrr du fer din veg.»
Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also to the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee, and eat, that thou may have strength when thou go on thy way.
23 Han vilde ikkje: «Eg vil ikkje eta», sagde han. Men då både tenarane og kona naubad honom, so let han seg segja, reis upp, og sette seg på sengi.
But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, constrained him, and he hearkened to their voice. So he arose from the ground, and sat upon the bed.
24 Kona hadde ein gjødkalv heime. Ho skunda seg, fekk slagta honom. So tok ho mjøl, knoda og baka søtebrød.
And the woman had a fatted calf in the house. And she hastened, and killed it, and she took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread of it.
25 So bar ho det fram for Saul og tenarane. Og då dei hadde ete, reis dei upp, og gjekk av stad same natti.
And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants, and they ate. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
