1 Samoela 28
1 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany ny Filistina dia namory ny miaramilany hanafika ny Isiraely. Ary hoy Akisy tamin’ i Davida: Aoka ho fantatrao tsara fa hiara-mivoaka amiko hanafika ianao sy ny olonao.
And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered themselves together with their armies to go out to fight with Israel; and Anchus said to David, Know surely, that thou shalt go forth to battle with me, [thou], and thy men.
2 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Akisy: Amin’ izao dia ho fantatrao tokoa izay hain’ ny mpanomponao hatao. Ary hoy Akisy tamin’ i Davida: Noho izany dia hataoko mpiaro ny lohako mandrakizay ianao.
And David said to Anchus, Thus now thou shalt know what thy servant will do. And Anchus said to David, So will I make thee captain of my body-guard continually.
3 (Ary efa maty Samoela, ka ny Isiraely rehetra efa nisaona azy sy nandevina azy tao Rama, dia tao an-tanànany. Ary efa noroahin’ i Saoly hiala amin’ ny tany izay nanao azy ho tsindrian-javatra sy ny mpanao hatsarana.)
And Samuel died, and all Israel lamented for him, and they bury him in his city, in Armathaim. And Saul had removed those who had in them divining spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
4 Ary ny Filistina nivory, dia tonga ka nitoby tao Sonema; fa Saoly namory ny Isiraely rehetra, ka nitoby tao Gilboa kosa ireo.
And the Philistines assemble themselves, and come and encamp in Sonam: and Saul gathers all the men of Israel, and they encamp in Gelbue.
5 Ary Saoly, raha nahita ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina, dia raiki-tahotra sady niemponempona ny fony.
And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was alarmed, and his heart was greatly dismayed.
6 Ary Saoly dia nanontany tamin’ i Jehovah, fa Jehovah tsy namaly azy, na tamin’ ny nofy, na tamin’ ny Orima, na tamin’ ny mpaminany.
And Saul enquired of the Lord; and the Lord answered him not by dreams, nor by manifestations, nor by prophets.
7 Ary hoy Saoly tamin’ ny mpanompony: Itadiavo vehivavy manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra aho hankanesako any hanontaniako aminy. Ary hoy ny mpanompony taminy: Indro, misy vehivavy manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra eo Andora.
Then Saul said to his servants, Seek for me a woman who has in her a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and enquire of her: and his servants said to him, Behold, [there is] a woman who has in her a divining spirit at Aendor.
8 Dia nanova tarehy Saoly ka nitafy fitafiana hafa, dia nandeha izy sy ny olona roa lahy nanaraka azy ka tonga tao amin-dravehivavy nony alina; ary hoy izy: Masìna ianao, manaova fankatovana ho ahy amin’ ny zavatra manindry anao, ka ampiakaro ho etỳ amiko izay hotononiko aminao.
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he goes, and two men with him, and they come to the woman by night; and he said to her, Divine to me, I pray thee, by the divining spirit within thee, and bring up to me him whom I shall name to thee.
9 Ary hoy ravehivavy taminy: Indro, fantatrao izay nataon’ i Saoly, dia ny nandroahany ny manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra sy ny mpanao hatsarana hiala amin’ ny tany, ka nahoana ianao no mamandrika ny aiko hahafaty ahy?
And the woman said to him, Behold now, thou knowest what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who had in them divining spirits, and the wizards from the land, and why dost thou spread a snare for my life to destroy it?
10 Ary Saoly nianiana tamin’ i Jehovah ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia tsy hisy heloka hahazo anao amin’ izao zavatra izao.
And Saul swore to her, and said, [As] the Lord lives, no injury shall come upon thee on this account.
11 Dia hoy ravehivavy: Iza ary no hampiakariko ho eto aminao? Ary hoy izy: Samoela no ampiakaro ho etỳ amiko.
And the woman said, Whom shall I bring up to thee? and he said, Bring up to me Samuel.
12 Ary hitan-dravehivavy Samoela, dia nidradradradra tamin’ ny feo mafy izy ka nanao tamin’ i Saoly hoe: Nahoana no namitaka ahy ianao? fa ianao no Saoly.
And the woman saw Samuel, and cried out with a loud voice: and the woman said to Saul, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
13 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Aza matahotra; fa inona no hitanao? Ary hoy ravehivavy tamin’ i Saoly: Andriamanitra miakatra avy amin’ ny tany no hitako.
And the king said to her, Fear not; tell me whom thou has seen. And the woman said to him, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
14 Ary hoy izy taminy: Manao ahoana no endriny? Dia hoy izy: Lehilahy antitra no miakatra sady mikapôty izy. Ary fantatr’ i Saoly fa Samoela izay, dia niondrika tamin’ ny tany izy ka niankohoka.
And he said to her, What didst thou perceive? and she said to him, An upright man ascending out of the earth, and he [was] clothed with a mantle. And Saul knew that this was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the earth, and did obeisance to him.
15 Ary hoy Samoela tamin’ i Saoly: Nahoana no korontaninao aho ka ampiakarinao? Dia hoy Saoly: Tery loatra aho, fa miady amiko ny Filistina, ary Andriamanitra efa nahafoy ahy ka tsy mamaly teny ahy intsony, na amin’ ny mpaminany, na amin’ ny nofy; koa izany no nampanalako anao mba hampahalalanao ahy izay hataoko.
And Samuel said, Why hast thou troubled me, that I should come up? And Saul said, I am greatly distressed, and the Philistines war against me, and God has departed from me, and no longer hearkens to me either by the hand of the prophets or by dreams: and now I have called thee to tell me what I shall do.
16 Ary hoy Samoela: Nahoana no manontany amiko ianao, nefa Jehovah efa mahafoy anao ka tonga fahavalonao.
And Samuel said, Why askest thou me, whereas the Lord has departed from thee, and taken part with thy neighbour?
17 Fa Jehovah efa nanao ho Azy araka ny nampilazainy ahy; fa efa nendahany hiala amin’ ny tananao ny fanjakana ka nomeny an’ i Davida namanao.
And the Lord has done to thee, as the Lord spoke by me; and the Lord will rend thy kingdom out of thy hand, and will give it to thy neighbour David.
18 Satria tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah ianao ka tsy nahatanteraka ny fahatezerany mirehitra tamin’ ny Amalekita, dia izany no nanaovan’ i Jehovah izao zavatra izao taminao androany.
because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the Lord, and didst not execute his fierce anger upon Amalec, therefore the Lord has done this thing to thee this day.
19 Ary hiaraka hatolotr’ i Jehovah ho eo an-tànan’ ny Filistina ny tenanao sy ny Isiraely; ary rahampitso dia ho etỳ amiko ianao sy ny zanakao; ary ny miaramilan’ ny Isiraely koa dia hatolotr’ i Jehovah eo an-tànan’ ny Filistina.
And the Lord shall deliver Israel with thee into the hands of the Philistines, and to-morrow thou and thy sons with thee shall fall, and the Lord shall deliver the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.
20 Dia lavo niampatra tamin’ ny tany niaraka tamin’ izay Saoly ka raiki-tahotra indrindra noho ny tenin’ i Samoela; sady efa tsy nisy hery intsony izy, satria tsy nihinan-kanina indray andro sy indray alina maninjitra.
And Saul instantly fell at his full length upon the earth, and was greatly afraid because of the words of Samuel; and there was no longer any strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all that day, and all that night.
21 Ary nankao amin’ i Saoly ravehivavy ka nahita azy ory indrindra, dia nanao taminy hoe: Indro, ny ankizivavinao nihaino ny feonao, dia nanao ny aiko tsy ho zavatra aho ka nihaino ny teninao izay nolazainao tamiko.
And the woman went in to Saul, and saw that he was greatly disquieted, and said to him, Behold now, thine handmaid has hearkened to thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have heard the words which thou has spoken to me.
22 Koa ankehitriny, masìna ianao, mba henoy kosa ny tenin’ ny ankizivavinao, ary aoka aho handroso sombin-kanina kely eo anoloanao; dia hano izany mba hahatanjaka anao, raha handeha amin’ ny alehanao ianao.
And now hearken, I pray thee, to the voice of thine handmaid, and I will set before thee a morsel of bread, and eat, and thou shalt be strengthened, for thou wilt be going on thy way.
23 Fa tsy nety izy, fa hoy izy: Tsy hihinana aho. Fa ny mpanompony sy ravehivavy mbola nanery azy ihany, ka dia nihaino ny feony izy. Dia nitsangana izy ka nipetraka teo am-parafara.
But he would not eat; so his servants and the woman constrained him, and he hearkened to their voice, and rose up from the earth, and sat upon a bench.
24 Ary ravehivavy nanana zanak’ omby mifahy tao an-trano; dia nandeha haingana izy ka namono izany, ary naka koba izy, dia nofetafetainy ka nendasiny ho mofo tsy misy masirasira.
And the woman had a fat heifer in the house; and she hasted and slew it; and she took meal and kneaded it, and baked unleavened cakes.
25 Ary narosony teo anoloan’ i Saoly sy teo anoloan’ ny mpanompony izany; dia nihinana izy ireo, ary dia niainga ka lasa nandeha tamin’ iny alina iny ihany.
And she brought [the meat] before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate, and rose up, and departed that night.
