Samuu'Eel Kowaad 28
1 Oo wakhtigaas reer Falastiin ciidammadoodii oo dhan dagaal bay u soo urursadeen inay reer binu Israa'iil la diriraan. Aakiishna wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Ogow inaad adiga iyo raggaaguba dagaalka ii raacaysaan.
Some time later, the people of Philistia gathered their army to attack the Israelis [again]. King Achish told David, “I am expecting that you and your men will join with my men to attack [the Israelis].”
2 Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu Aakiish ku yidhi, Hubaal waad ogaan doontaa waxa anoo addoonkaaga ah aan samayn doono. Oo Aakiishna wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Taas aawadeed mid madaxayga weligii ilaaliya ayaan kaa dhigayaa.
David replied, “[We will go with you, and then] you will see for yourself what we can do!” Achish said, “Okay, I will appoint you to be my bodyguard permanently.”
3 Oo Samuu'eelna mar hore wuu dhintay, oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammuna way u baroorteen, waxayna ku aaseen Raamaah taasoo ahayd magaaladiisii. Saa'uulna wuu wada eryay kuwii ruuxaanta lahaa iyo saaxiriintii oo dhan, oo dalka wuu ka wada saaray.
[While Samuel was still alive, Saul did many things that pleased Yahweh. One of the good things that] Saul [did was to] expel from Israel all the people who were fortune-tellers or who talked to the spirits of dead people. But Samuel had died, and all the Israeli people had mourned for him. Then they had buried him in Ramah, his hometown. [After that, Saul did not try to please Yahweh any more].
4 Oo reer Falastiinna way isa soo wada urursadeen, oo Shuuneem soo degeen; Saa'uulna wuxuu soo wada urursaday reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo iyana waxay soo degeen Gilboca.
The army of Philistia gathered and set up their tents at Shunem [city, in the north of Israel]. Saul gathered the Israeli army and set up their tents at Gilboa [in the eastern part of the same valley].
5 Saa'uulna markuu ciidankii reer Falastiin arkay ayuu baqay, aad buuna u gariiray.
When Saul saw the army of Philistia, he became so afraid that his heart pounded/shook.
6 Oo Saa'uulna markuu Rabbiga wax weyddiiyey, Rabbigu uma uu jawaabin, oo riyooyin iyo Uuriim iyo nebiyo midnaba uguma uu jawaabin.
He prayed to Yahweh, but Yahweh did not answer him. Yahweh did not [tell Saul what he should do by] giving him a dream, or by [having the priest throw] the marked stones [that were in his sacred vest], or by [giving a message about Saul to] any prophet.
7 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu addoommadiisii ku yidhi, War ii doona naag ruuxaan leh, aan u tago oo wax weyddiiyee. Markaasaa addoommadiisii waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Naag ruuxaan leh baa Ceyn Door joogta.
Then Saul said to his servants, “Find for me a woman who talks to the spirits of dead people, in order that I can ask her [what will happen].” His servants replied, “There is a woman in Endor [town] who does that.”
8 Kolkaasaa Saa'uul si kale iska dhigay, dhar kalena wuu qaatay, wuuna tegey, isagoo laba nin la socda, oo waxay naagtii u yimaadeen goor habeennimo ah. Markaasuu ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, ruuxaanta iila hadal, oo ii soo kici ku alla kii aan kuu magacaabo.
So Saul [took off the clothes that showed that he was the king, and he] put on ordinary clothes (to disguise himself/so that people would not recognize who he was). Then he and two of his men went during the night to talk to that woman. Saul said to her, “I want you to talk to a spirit [of someone who has died]. Cause to appear the person whose name I will [give to you].”
9 Naagtiina waxay ku tidhi, Bal eeg, waad og tahay Saa'uul wuxuu sameeyey, iyo siduu dalka uga saaray kuwii ruuxaanta lahaa, iyo saaxiriintii oo dhanba. Haddaba bal maxaad dabin iigu dhigaysaa si aan u dhinto?
But the woman replied, “You surely know what Saul has done. He expelled from this land all the people who talk to spirits of dead people and all fortune-tellers. I think that you are trying to trap me, in order that I will be executed [for doing something that is not permitted].”
10 Markaasaa Saa'uul Rabbiga ugu dhaartay, oo ku yidhi, Rabbiga noloshiisaan ku dhaartaye inaan waxan innaba lagugu ciqaabayn.
Saul replied, solemnly asking Yahweh to listen to what he was saying, “Just as surely as Yahweh lives, you will not be punished for doing this.”
11 Dabadeedna naagtii waxay tidhi, Haddaba yaan kuu soo kiciyaa? Wuxuu isna ku yidhi, Samuu'eel ii soo kici.
Then the woman said, “Whom do you want me to cause to appear?” Saul replied, “Cause Samuel to appear.”
12 Oo naagtii markay Samuu'eel aragtay ayay cod weyn ku qaylisay, oo Saa'uul la hadashay oo tidhi, War maxaad ii khiyaanaysay? Waayo, Saa'uul baad tahay.
[So] the woman [did that. But] when she saw Samuel, she screamed. She said, “You have tricked me [RHQ]! You are Saul! [You will execute me for doing this]!”
13 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi, Ha cabsan ee maxaad aragtaa? Naagtiina waxay Saa'uul ku tidhi, Waxaan arkaa ilaahyo dhulka ka soo baxaya.
Saul said to her, “Do not be afraid. What do you see?” The woman said, “I see a god/spirit coming up out of the ground.”
14 Isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Muxuu u eg yahay? Markaasay tidhi, Waxaa soo baxaya nin oday ah oo huwis huwan. Kolkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu ogaaday inuu kaasu Samuu'eel yahay, wejiguuna dhulka saaray, wuuna u sujuuday.
Saul said, “What does he look like?” The woman replied, “An old man wearing a robe is appearing.” Then Saul knew that it was Samuel. So he bowed down with his face touching the ground.
15 Markaasaa Samuu'eel Saa'uul ku yidhi, War maxaad ii soo dhibtay oo ii soo kicisay? Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Anigu aad baan u dhibbanahay; waayo, reer Falastiin baa ila dagaallama, oo Ilaahna waa iga tegey, oo marna iima jawaabo, oo nebiyo iyo riyooyin midna igulama hadlo, sidaas daraaddeed ayaan kuugu yeedhay, inaad i ogeysiisid waxaan sameeyo.
Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you bothered/disturbed me by causing me to appear?” Saul said, “I am very worried. The army of Philistia is about to attack my army, and God has abandoned me. He does not answer my questions any more. He does not give me dreams [to tell me what to do] or give messages to prophets [to tell me what to do]. That is the reason that I came to see you. So you tell me what I should do!”
16 Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu yidhi, War adoo og in Rabbigu kaa tegey oo uu col kuu noqday, maxaad wax ii weyddiinaysaa?
Samuel said, “Yahweh has abandoned you and has become your enemy. So why do you ask me [what you should do]? [RHQ]
17 Oo Rabbiguna wuxuu samaystay wixii uu iga hadlay, oo Rabbiguna boqortooyadii gacantaada wuu ka dillaaciyey, oo wuxuu siiyey deriskaaga kaaso ah Daa'uud.
He has done what he told me [previously] that he would do to you. He has torn the kingdom away from you, and he is giving it to someone who is another Israeli—David.
18 Maxaa yeelay, waad addeeci weyday Rabbiga codkiisii, cadhadiisii weynaydna Camaaleq waad ku dili weyday, oo sidaas daraaddeed baa Rabbigu maanta waxan kuugu sameeyey.
You did not obey Yahweh. Yahweh was very angry with the Amalek people-group. You did not [kill all of their animals], with the result that you did not show that he was very angry with them. That is the reason that he has done this to you today.
19 Oo weliba Rabbigu wuxuu adiga iyo reer binu Israa'iilba u gacangelin doonaa reer Falastiin. Berrito adiga iyo wiilashaaduba anigaad ila joogi doontaan. Oo Rabbiguna wuxuu ciidanka reer binu Israa'iil ku ridi doonaa gacanta reer Falastiin.
Yahweh will enable the Philistia army to defeat you and all the other Israeli soldiers. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me [in the place where spirits of dead people are]. Yahweh will cause the whole Israeli army to be defeated by the Philistia army.” [And after Samuel said that, he disappeared].
20 Markaasaa Saa'uul haddiiba kulligiis dhulka ku dhacay, oo aad buu u cabsaday erayadii Samuu'eel aawadood, oo itaalna kuma jirin, waayo, waxba ma uu cunin maalintii oo dhan iyo habeenkii oo dhanba.
Saul immediately fell flat on the ground. He was so afraid because of what Samuel had said that he became paralyzed. He was also very weak because he had not eaten anything all that day and night.
21 Markaasaa naagtii u timid Saa'uul oo aragtay inuu aad u naxsanaa, oo waxay ku tidhi, Bal eeg, anoo addoontaada ah codkaagii baan maqlay, oo anna naftaydii baan biimeeyey, erayadii aad igula hadashayna waan maqlay.
The woman saw that he was extremely worried/terrified. She said to him, “Listen to me! I have done what you requested me to do. I could be executed for doing that.
22 Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, bal adna codkayga maqal anoo addoontaada ah, oo in yar oo kibis ah aan hortaada dhigo, oo adna cun si markaad tagtid aad xoog u yeelatid.
So now please pay attention to what I say. Allow me to give you some food, in order that you will [eat it and] get enough strength to go back [to your army].”
23 Laakiinse wuu diiday, oo wuxuu yidhi, Anigu waxba cuni maayo. Laakiinse addoommadiisii ayaa naagtii kula qasbay; markaasuu codkoodii yeelay. Oo intuu dhulkii ka kacay ayuu sariirtii ku fadhiistay.
But Saul refused. He said, “No, I will not eat anything.” Then Saul’s servants also urged him [to eat something], and finally he heeded what they said. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
24 Oo naagtuna waxay guriga ku haysatay weyl shilis, kolkaasay haddiiba degdegtay, oo soo qashay, oo haddana bur soo qaadatay oo cajiintay, oo waxay ka dubtay kibis aan khamiir lahayn.
The woman had a fat calf close to her house. She quickly slaughtered it [and cooked it]. She took some flour and mixed it [with olive oil], and baked it without putting in any yeast.
25 Dabadeedna waxay soo hor dhigtay Saa'uul iyo addoommadiisii, wayna cuneen. Kolkaasay kaceen, oo isla habeenkii bay tageen.
She placed the food in front of Saul and his servants, and they ate some of it. Then that night they got up and left.
