1 Samuel 28
1 At nangyari sa mga araw na yaon, na pinisan ng mga Filisteo ang kanilang mga hukbo sa pakikidigma upang lumaban sa Israel. At sinabi ni Achis kay David, Talastasin mong maigi na ikaw ay lalabas na kasama ko sa hukbo, ikaw at ang inyong mga lalake.
Now it happened that, in those days, the Philistines gathered together their troops, so that they might be prepared for war against Israel. And Achish said to David, “I know now, certainly, that you will go out with me to war, you and your men.”
2 At sinabi ni David kay Achis, Kaya't iyong nalalaman kung anong gagawin ng iyong lingkod. At sinabi ni Achis kay David, Kaya't gagawin kitang bantay sa aking ulo magpakailan man.
And David said to Achish, “You know now what your servant will do.” And Achish said to David, “And so, I will appoint you to guard my head for all days.”
3 Si Samuel nga ay namatay, at pinanaghuyan ng buong Israel at inilibing siya sa Rama, sa makatuwid baga'y sa kaniyang sariling bayan. At pinalayas ni Saul sa lupain, yaong mga nakikipagsanggunian sa masamang espiritu, at ang mga manghuhula.
Now Samuel was dead, and all of Israel mourned for him, and they buried him in Ramah, his city. And Saul took away the magi and soothsayers from the land.
4 At nagpipisan ang mga Filisteo, at naparoon at humantong sa Sunam: at pinisan ni Saul ang buong Israel, at sila'y humantong sa Gilboa.
And the Philistines gathered together, and they arrived and made camp at Shunem. Then Saul also gathered all of Israel, and he arrived at Gilboa.
5 At nang makita ni Saul ang hukbo ng mga Filisteo, siya'y natakot, at ang kaniyang puso ay nanginig na mainam.
And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was afraid, and his heart was exceedingly terrified.
6 At nang magusisa si Saul sa Panginoon, ay hindi siya sinagot ng Panginoon, maging sa panaginip man, ni sa Urim man, ni sa pamamagitan man ng mga propeta.
And he consulted the Lord. But he did not respond to him, neither by dreams, nor by priests, nor by prophets.
7 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Saul sa kaniyang mga lingkod, Ihanap ninyo ako ng isang babae na nakikipagsanggunian sa masamang espiritu, upang ako'y pumaroon sa kaniya, at magusisa sa kaniya. At sinabi ng kaniyang mga lingkod sa kaniya. Narito, may isang babae na nakikipagsanggunian sa masamang espiritu sa Endor.
And Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman having a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and consult through her.” And his servants said to him, “There is a woman having a divining spirit at Endor.”
8 At hindi napakilala si Saul, at nagsuot ng ibang kasuutan, at naparoon siya at ang dalawang lalake na kasama niya, at sila'y dumating sa babae nang kinagabihan: at kaniyang sinabi, Hulaan mo ako isinasamo ko sa iyo, sa pamamagitan ng sinasanggunian mong espiritu, at iahon mo sa akin sinomang banggitin ko sa iyo.
Therefore, he changed his usual appearance, and he put on other clothes. And he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. And he said to her, “Divine for me, by your divining spirit, and raise up for me whomever I will tell you.”
9 At sinabi ng babae sa kaniya, Narito, iyong nalalaman ang ginawa ni Saul, kung paanong kaniyang inihiwalay yaong mga nakikipagsanggunian sa masamang espiritu, at ang mga manghuhula, sa lupain: bakit nga ipinaglalagay mo ng silo ang aking buhay, upang ipapatay ako?
And the woman said to him: “Behold, you know how much Saul has done, and how he has wiped away the magi and soothsayers from the land. Why then do you set a trap for my life, so that it will be put to death?”
10 At sumumpa si Saul sa kaniya sa pamamagitan ng Panginoon, na sinasabi, Buhay ang Panginoon, walang parusang mangyayari sa iyo dahil sa bagay na ito.
And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, “As the Lord lives, nothing evil will befall you because of this matter.”
11 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng babae, Sinong iaahon ko sa iyo? At kaniyang sinabi, Iahon mo si Samuel sa akin.
And the woman said to him, “Whom shall I raise up for you?” And he said, “Raise up for me Samuel.”
12 At nang makita ng babae si Samuel, ay sumigaw ng malakas na tinig at nagsalita ang babae kay Saul, na sinasabi, Bakit mo ako dinaya? sapagka't ikaw ay si Saul.
And when the woman had seen Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and she said to Saul: “Why have you afflicted me? For you are Saul!”
13 At sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, Huwag kang matakot: sapagka't anong iyong nakikita? At sinabi ng babae kay Saul, Aking nakikita'y isang dios na lumilitaw sa lupa.
And the king said to her: “Do not be afraid. What have you seen?” And the woman said to Saul, “I saw gods ascending from the earth.”
14 At kaniyang sinabi sa kaniya, Ano ang kaniyang anyo? At sinabi niya, Isang matandang lalake ay lumilitaw; at siya'y nabibilot ng isang balabal. At nakilala ni Saul, na si Samuel, at siya'y yumukod sa lupa, at nagbigay galang.
And he said to her, “What appearance does he have?” And she said, “An old man ascends, and he is clothed in a cloak.” And Saul understood that it was Samuel. And he bowed himself upon his face on the ground, and he reverenced.
15 At sinabi ni Samuel kay Saul, Bakit mo binagabag ako sa aking pagahon? At sumagot si Saul, Ako'y totoong naliligalig; sapagka't ang mga Filisteo ay nangdidigma laban sa akin, at ang Dios ay humiwalay sa akin, at hindi na ako sinasagot, kahit sa pamamagitan ng mga propeta, ni ng panaginip man: kaya tinawag kita, upang maipakilala mo sa akin kung ano ang aking gagawin.
Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disquieted me, so that I would be raised up?” And Saul said: “I am greatly distressed. For the Philistines fight against me, and God has withdrawn from me, and he is not willing to heed me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams. Therefore, I have summoned you, so that you would reveal to me what I should do.”
16 At sinabi ni Samuel, Bakit nga nagtatanong ka sa akin, dangang ang Panginoon ay humiwalay sa iyo, at naging iyong kaaway?
And Samuel said, “Why do you question me, though the Lord has withdrawn from you, and has crossed over to your rival?
17 At ginawa ng Panginoon ang gaya ng sinalita niya sa pamamagitan ko: at inihiwalay ng Panginoon ang kaharian sa iyong kamay, at ibinigay sa iyong kapuwa, sa makatuwid baga'y kay David.
For the Lord will do to you just as he spoke by my hand. And he will tear your kingdom from your hand. And he will give it to your neighbor David.
18 Sapagka't hindi mo sinunod ang tinig ng Panginoon, at hindi mo ginawa ang kaniyang mabagsik na galit sa Amalec, kaya't ginawa ng Panginoon ang bagay na ito sa iyo sa araw na ito.
For you did not obey the voice of the Lord, and you did not carry out the wrath of his fury upon Amalek. For this reason, the Lord has done to you what you are enduring this day.
19 Bukod dito'y ibibigay ng Panginoon ang Israel naman na kalakip mo sa kamay ng mga Filisteo: at bukas, ikaw at ang iyong mga anak ay masasama sa akin: ibibigay naman ng Panginoon ang hukbo ng Israel sa kamay ng mga Filisteo.
And the Lord also will give Israel into the hands of the Philistines, along with you. Then tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. But the Lord will also deliver the camp of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”
20 Nang magkagayo'y biglang nabulagta si Saul sa lupa, at siya'y natakot na mainam, dahil sa mga salita ni Samuel; at nawalan siya ng lakas; sapagka't hindi siya kumain ng tinapay buong araw, ni buong gabi man.
And immediately, Saul fell stretched out on the ground. For he was terrified by the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him. For he had not eaten bread all that day.
21 At naparoon ang babae kay Saul at nakita na siya'y totoong bagabag, at sinabi sa kaniya, Narito, narinig ng iyong lingkod ang iyong tinig, at aking inilagay ang aking buhay sa aking kamay, at aking dininig ang iyong mga salita na iyong sinalita sa akin.
And so, the woman entered to Saul, (for he was very troubled) and she said to him: “Behold, your handmaid has obeyed your voice, and I have placed my life in my hand. And I have heeded the words which you spoke to me.
22 Ngayon nga, isinasamo ko sa iyo, iyong dinggin naman ang tinig ng iyong lingkod, at papaglagyin mo ako ng isang subo na tinapay sa harap mo; at iyong kanin upang ikaw ay lumakas, paglakad mo ng iyong lakad.
And so now, I ask you to heed the voice of your handmaid, and let me place before you a morsel of bread, so that, by eating, you may recover strength, and you may be able to undertake the journey.”
23 Nguni't siya'y tumanggi at nagsabi, Hindi ako kakain. Nguni't ipinilit ng kaniyang mga lingkod na pati ng babae; at dininig niya ang kanilang tinig. Sa gayo'y siya'y bumangon sa lupa, ay umupo sa higaan.
But he refused, and he said, “I will not eat.” But his servants and the woman urged him, and after some time, heeding their voice, he rose up from the ground, and he sat upon the bed.
24 At ang babae ay mayroong isang matabang guyang baka sa bahay; at siya'y nagmadali, at pinatay niya; at siya'y kumuha ng harina at kaniyang minasa, at kaniyang niluto na tinapay na walang lebadura;
Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she hurried and killed it. And taking meal, she kneaded it, and she baked unleavened bread.
25 At kaniyang dinala sa harap ni Saul, at sa harap ng kaniyang mga lingkod; at sila'y kumain. Nang magkagayo'y sila'y bumangon, at umalis nang gabing yaon.
And she set it before Saul and before his servants. And when they had eaten, they rose up, and they walked all through that night.
