1 Samuela 28
1 Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe fakataha ʻe he kakai Filisitia honau ngaahi kautau ki he tau, kenau tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAkisi kia Tevita, “Ko eni ke ke ʻilo pau te tau ō mo koe ki he tau, ʻa koe mo ho kau tangata.”
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 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻAkisi, “Ko e moʻoni te ke ʻilo pau ʻaia ʻoku mafai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAkisi kia Tevita, “Ko ia te u fakanofo koe koe tauhi ʻo hoku ʻulu ʻo taʻengata.
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 Ka ko eni kuo pekia ʻa Samuela, pea naʻe tēngihia ia ʻe ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻonau tanu ia ʻi Lama, ʻio, ʻi heʻene kolo nofoʻanga ʻaʻana. Pea kuo ʻosi hono kapusi ʻe Saula mei he fonua ʻakinautolu naʻe maʻu laumālie kovi, mo e kau kikite loi.
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 Pea fakakātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai Filisitia, ʻonau haʻu ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi Sunemi: pea naʻe fakakātoa fakataha ʻe Saula ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻonau haʻu ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi Kilipoa.
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 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Saula ki he tau ʻae Filisitia, naʻe manavahē ia, pea tetetete lahi hono loto.
And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was afraid, and his heart was exceedingly terrified.
6 Pea ʻi he fehuʻi ʻa Saula kia Sihova, naʻe ʻikai tali ia ʻe Sihova, ʻi ha misi, pe ʻi he ʻUlimi pe ʻi he kau palōfita.
And he consulted the Lord. But he did not respond to him, neither by dreams, nor by priests, nor by prophets.
7 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Mou kumi kiate au ha fefine ʻoku ʻiate ia ha laumālie kovi, koeʻuhi ke u ʻalu atu, pea fehuʻi kiate ia.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoku ai ʻae fefine ʻi Enitoa ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie kovi.”
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 Pea naʻe fakapuli ia ʻe Saula, ʻo ne ʻai ʻae ngaahi kofu kehe, pea ʻalu ia, mo e ongo tangata, pea naʻa nau hoko atu ki he fefine ʻi he poʻuli: pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakahā kiate au ʻi he laumālie, pea ke ʻohake kiate au, ʻaia te u tala kiate koe.”
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 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻaia kuo fai ʻe Saula, koeʻuhi ko ʻene tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi laumālie kovi, mo e kau kikite, mei he fonua: ko ia ko e hā ʻoku ke tō ai ʻae tauhele ki heʻeku moʻui, ke u mate ai au?”
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 Pea naʻe fuakava ʻa Saula kiate ia ʻia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻe ʻikai hoko ha tautea kiate koe, koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni.”
And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, “As the Lord lives, nothing evil will befall you because of this matter.”
11 Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe he fefine kiate ia, “Ko hai ia te u ʻohake kiate koe?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOhake kiate au ʻa Samuela.”
And the woman said to him, “Whom shall I raise up for you?” And he said, “Raise up for me Samuel.”
12 Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ʻae fefine kia Samuela, naʻe tangi kalanga ʻo leʻo lahi ia: pea lea ʻae fefine kia Saula, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuo ke kākaaʻi ai au? He ko Saula koe.”
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 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē: he ko e hā kuo ke mamata ai?” Pea pehē ʻe he fefine kia Saula, “Kuo u mamata ki he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoku ʻalu hake mei he kelekele.”
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 Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko e hā hono anga?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, ʻOku ʻalu hake ʻae tangata motuʻa; pea ʻoku pūlou ʻaki ia ʻae pulupulu.” Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe Saula ko Samuela ia, pea tulolo ia mo hono fofonga ki he kelekele, pea naʻa ne punou hifo ia.
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 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela kia Saula, “Ko e hā kuo ke ueʻi ai au ke ʻohake au?” Pea talaange ʻe Saula, “Kuo u mamahi lahi; he ʻoku tauʻi au ʻe he kakai Filisitia, pea kuo ʻalu ʻae ʻOtua ʻiate au, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne kei talia au, ʻi he kau palōfita, pe ʻi he ngaahi misi: ko ia kuo u ui ai kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke ke fakahā kiate au ʻaia ʻoku lelei ke u fai.”
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 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela, “Pea ko e hā kuo ke fehuʻi ai kiate au, ka kuo ʻalu ʻa Sihova ʻiate koe, pea kuo hoko ia ko ho fili?
And Samuel said, “Why do you question me, though the Lord has withdrawn from you, and has crossed over to your rival?
17 Pea kuo fai ʻe Sihova kiate koe, ʻo hangē ko ʻene lea ʻiate au: he kuo hae ʻe Sihova ʻae puleʻanga mei ho nima, ʻo ne foaki ia ki ho kaungāʻapi, ʻio, kia Tevita:
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 Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ke talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova, pea fai kia ʻAmaleki hono houhau lahi, ko ia kuo fai ai ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa ni kiate koe he ʻaho ni.
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 Pea ko eni foki ʻe tukuange ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻIsileli mo koe ki he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia: pea ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha te mou ʻiate au ʻapongipongi: pea ʻe tukuange foki ʻe Sihova ʻae tau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia.”
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 Pea naʻe tō lafalafa leva ʻa Saula ki he kelekele, pea ne manavahē lahi, ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻa Samuela, pea naʻe ʻikai toe ha mālohi ʻiate ia; he naʻe teʻeki kai ia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa ko ia, pe ʻi he pō kotoa.”
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 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae fefine kia Saula, ʻo ne vakai ʻoku mamahi lahi, pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo fai talangofua ʻa hoʻo kaunanga ki ho leʻo, pea kuo u ʻai ʻeku moʻui ki hoku nima, pea kuo u tokanga ki hoʻo ngaahi lea ʻaia naʻa ke lea kiate au.”
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 Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tokanga koe foki ki he leʻo ʻo hoʻo kaunanga, pea tuku ke u ʻai ʻae konga mā siʻi ʻi ho ʻao; pea ke kai koeʻuhi ke ke maʻu ʻae mālohi ʻi hoʻo ʻalu ʻi ho hala.
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 Ka naʻe fakafisi ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te u kai.” Ka ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki fakataha mo e fefine naʻa nau fakalotoʻi ia. Ko ia naʻe tuʻu hake ia mei he kelekele, pea hekeheka ki he mohenga
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 Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe he fefine ʻae ʻuhiki pulu sino ʻi he fale; pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ʻo tāmateʻi ia, ʻo ne ʻave ʻae mahoaʻa, pea natu ia, pea taʻo ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā taʻefakalēvani:
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 Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ia ki he ʻao ʻo Saula, pea ki he ʻao ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki; pea naʻa nau kai. Hili ia naʻa nau tuʻu hake, pea ʻalu ʻi he pō ko ia.
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.
