1 Saamuʼeel 28
1 Bara sana keessa Filisxeemonni Israaʼeloota loluuf humna isaanii walitti qabatan. Aakiishis Daawitiin, “Akka atii fi namoonni kee na wajjin duuluu qabdan beeki” jedhe.
And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their camps together for warfare, to fight with Israel; and Achish said unto David, Thou must know that thou shalt go out with me into the camp, thou and thy men.
2 Daawitis, “Waan garbichi kee hojjechuu dandaʼu ati iyyuu yeroo sana ni argita” jedhe. Aakiish deebisee, “Baayʼee gaarii dha; ani bara jireenya koo guutuu waardiyyaa koo sin godhadha” jedhe.
And David said to Achish, By reason of this wilt thou thyself ascertain what thy servant will do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee the guard of my head for all times.
3 Bara sana Saamuʼeel duʼee Israaʼeloonni hundi booʼaniifii magaalaa isaa Raamaatti isa awwaalan. Saaʼolis ilaaltotaa fi eker dubbiftoota biyyaa baasee ture.
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city; and Saul had removed those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
4 Filisxeemonni wal gaʼanii Suunamin qubatan; Saaʼol immoo Israaʼeloota hunda walitti qabee Gilboʼaa keessa qubate.
And the Philistines assembled themselves together, and came and encamped at Shunem: and Saul assembled together all Israel, and they encamped at Gilboa'.
5 Saaʼol yeroo qubata Filisxeemotaa argetti ni naʼe; garaan isaas sodaan raafame.
And when Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
6 Innis Waaqayyoon gaafate; Waaqayyo garuu abjuudhaan yookaan Uriimiidhaan yookaan raajotaan deebii hin kennineef.
And Saul asked counsel of the Lord; but the Lord answered him not, either by means of dreams, or by means of the Urim, or by means of the prophets.
7 Kana irratti Saaʼol tajaajiltoota isaatiin, “Akka ani dhaqee ishee gaafadhuuf dubartii eker dubbiftuu naaf barbaadaa” jedhe. Isaanis, “Kunoo dubartiin ekeraa dubbiftu tokko Eendoor jirti” jedhan.
Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek out for me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at 'En-dor.
8 Kanaafuu Saaʼol wayyaa biraa uffatee bifa geeddarachuudhaan tajaajiltoota isaa lama wajjin halkaniin gara dubartii ekeraa dubbiftuu sanaa dhaqe. Innis, “Ekeraa naaf dubbisiitii nama ani maqaa isaa sitti himu ol naaf baasi” jedhe.
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other garments, and he went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, Divine, I pray thee, unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring up for me the one whom I shall say unto thee.
9 Dubartiin sun garuu, “Ati waan Saaʼol hojjete dhugumaan beekta. Inni ilaaltotaa fi eker dubbiftoota lafa irraa fixeera. Egaa maaliif lubbuu koo kiyyoo duʼaa keessa galchita ree?” jetteen.
And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou well knowest that which Saul hath done, that he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land; wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
10 Saaʼolis maqaa Waaqayyootiin isheef kakatee, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, ati waan kanaaf hin adabamtu” jedhe.
And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord liveth, there shall no guilt attach to thee for this thing.
11 Dubartittiin sunis, “Ani eenyun ol siif baasu ree?” jettee gaafatte. Innis, “Saamuʼeelin ol naaf baasi” jedhe.
Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up for thee? And he said, Samuel thou must bring up for me.
12 Dubartiin sunis yommuu Saamuʼeelin argitetti guddiftee iyyite. Saaʼoliin, “Maaliif na gowwoomsite? Ati Saaʼolii dha!” jette.
And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman said to Saul thus, Why hast thou deceived me? since thou art Saul.
13 Mootichis, “Hin sodaatin. Ati maal argaa jirta?” isheen jedhe. Dubartiin sunis, “Ani hafuura lafa keessaa ol baʼaa jiru tokko nan arga” jette.
And the king said unto her, Be not afraid; however, what hast thou seen? And the woman said unto Saul, A divine being have I seen ascending out of the earth.
14 Saaʼolis, “Inni maal fakkaata?” jedhee gaafate. Isheenis, “Jaarsi wayyaa dheeraa uffate tokko ol baʼaa jira” jette. Saaʼolis akka namni sun Saamuʼeel taʼe beeke; gad jedhees addaan lafatti gombifamee sagade.
And he said unto her, What is his form? And she said, An old man is coming up; and he is wrapt in a mantle. And so Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and prostrated himself.
15 Saamuʼeelis Saaʼoliin, “Ati maaliif ol na baasuudhaan na jeeqxa?” jedhe. Saaʼolis akkana jedheen, “Ani baayʼee dhiphadheera; Filisxeemonni na lolaa jiru; Waaqnis narraa garagaleera. Inni raajotaan yookaan abjuudhaan deebii naa hin kennu. Kanaafuu akka ati waan ani gochuu qabu natti himtuufan si waammadhe.”
And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am greatly distressed, and the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and hath not answered me any more, either by the agency of the prophets, or by means of dreams; wherefore I have called thee, to make known unto me what I shall do.
16 Saamuʼeelis akkana jedhe; “Ati erga Waaqayyo sirraa garagalee diina sitti taʼee maaliif na waamta?
Then said Samuel, And why wilt thou ask me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is become thy enemy?
17 Waaqayyo waanuma duraan dursee karaa kootiin dubbate sana fiixaan baase. Waaqayyo mootummaa harka kee keessaa butee ollaa kee keessaa nama tokkoof jechuunis Daawitiif kenneera.
And the Lord hath done for himself as he hath spoken through my agency; and the Lord hath rent the government out of thy hand, and hath given it to thy associate, to David;
18 Sababii ati Waaqayyoof hin ajajaminiif yookaan dheekkamsa isaa sodaachisaa sana Amaaleqoota irratti hin raawwatiniif Waaqayyo harʼa waan kana sitti fideera.
As thou didst not obey the voice of the Lord, and didst not execute his fierce wrath upon 'Amalek; therefore hath the Lord done this thing unto thee this day.
19 Israaʼelii fi siʼi illee Waaqayyo dabarsee harka Filisxeemotaatti ni kenna; atii fi ilmaan kee bori gara koo dhuftu. Waaqayyos loltoota Israaʼel dabarsee Filisxeemotatti ni kenna.”
And the Lord will deliver also Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: also the camp of Israel will the Lord deliver into the hand of the Philistines.
20 Saaʼol waan dubbii Saamuʼeeliin akka malee sodaateef yeruma sana hojjaa isaa guutuudhaan kufe. Inni waan halkanii fi guyyaa sana guutuu homaa hin nyaatiniif humna dhabee ture.
Then fell Saul hastily with his full length to the earth, and was greatly afraid, because of the words of Samuel: there was also no strength in him; for he had not eaten any food all that day, and all that night.
21 Dubartittiinis yommuu gara Saaʼol dhuftee akka inni akka malee sodaate argitetti akkana jette; “Kunoo tajaajiltuun kee siif ajajamteerti. Ani lubbuu kootti murteessee waan ati jette godheera.
And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was greatly terrified; and she said unto him, Behold, thy hand-maid hath obeyed thy voice; and I put my life in my hand, and hearkened unto thy words which thou spokest unto me.
22 Ammas maaloo tajaajiltuu kee dhagaʼi; ani nyaata xinnoo siifan kenna; atis nyaattee jabaattee karaa kee qajeelta.”
And now, hearken thou also, I pray thee, unto the voice of thy hand-maid, and let me set before thee a morsel of bread, and eat; that thou mayest have strength when thou goest on the way.
23 Inni immoo, “Hin nyaadhu” jedhee dide. Taʼus namoonni isaa dubartittii wajjin isa jajjabeessinaan inni isaan dhagaʼe. Lafaa kaʼees siree irra taaʼe.
But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants urged him much, as also the woman; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
24 Dubartiin sunis dibicha gabbifame tokko manaa qabdi turte; isheenis yeroodhuma sana qalte. Daakuu xinnoo fuutee sukkuumtee buddeena raacitii hin qabne tolchite.
And the woman had a fatted calf in the house; and she hastened, and slaughtered it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread thereof:
25 Isheenis Saaʼolii fi namoota isaatiif dhiʼeessite; isaanis ni nyaatan. Halkanuma sanas achii kaʼanii deeman.
And she brought it near before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
