¹And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men.

¹Zgodi se pa v tem času, da skličejo Filistejci bojne trume svoje na vojsko, da se bojujejo z Izraelom. In Ahis veli Davidu: Vedi za gotovo, da pojdeš z mano na vojsko, ti in moštvo tvoje.

²And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever.

²In David reče Ahisu: Potem tudi zveš, kaj stori hlapec tvoj. Ahis pa reče Davidu: Zato te postavim za varuha glave svoje vse svoje žive dni.

³Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.

³Samuel pa je bil umrl, in ves Iz rael je žaloval po njem. In pokopali so ga v Rami, v mestu njegovem. Savel pa je bil odpravil iz dežele rotilce mrtvih in vražarje.

⁴And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.

⁴Ko se torej zbero Filistejci ter pridejo in se utabore v Sunemu, zbere tudi Savel vse Izraelce, in utabore se na Gilboi.

⁵And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.

⁵In ko vidi Savel tabor Filistejcev, se zboji in srce mu obupa.

⁶And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.

⁶In Savel je vprašal za svet GOSPODA, a GOSPOD mu ni odgovoril ne po sanjah, ne po Urimu, ne po prorokih.

⁷Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek 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 Endor.

⁷Tedaj veli Savel hlapcem svojim: Poiščite mi ženo, ki se peča z rotenjem mrtvih, da bi šel k njej in jo vprašal. In hlapci njegovi mu reko: Glej, v Endoru je žena, ki je rotilka mrtvih.

⁸And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.

⁸In Savel se preobleče za drugo osebo in gre tja, in dva moža ž njim; in pridejo po noči k ženi. In on reče: Vedežuj mi, prosim, po duhu mrtvega in pripelji mi gori, kogar ti bom imenoval.

⁹And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how 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?

⁹In žena mu reče: Glej, ti veš, kar je storil Savel, kako je potrebil iz dežele rotilce duhov in vražarje; zakal pa nastavljaš zanko duši moji, da me spraviš v smrt?

¹⁰And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.

¹⁰In Savel ji priseže pri GOSPODU, rekoč: Kakor res GOSPOD živi, za to te ne zadene nobena kazen!

¹¹Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.

¹¹Nato vpraša žena: Koga naj ti pripeljem gori? On reče: Pripelji mi Samuela!

¹²And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.

¹²In ko žena zagleda Samuela, zavpije z močnim glasom, in reče Savlu: Zakaj si me prekanil? ker ti si Savel!

¹³And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.

¹³In kralj ji reče: Ne boj se! Kaj vidiš? Žena odgovori Savlu: Vidim boga stopati gori iz zemlje.

¹⁴And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.

¹⁴On jo vpraša: Kakšna je njegova podoba? Ona reče: Star mož prihaja gori, ogrnjen s plaščem. In Savel zazna, da je Samuel, in se skloni z obličjem k tlom in stori poklon.

¹⁵And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.

¹⁵In Samuel reče Savlu: Zakaj me vznemirjaš s tem, da me kličeš gori? In Savel odgovori: V stiski sem veliki, kajti Filistejci se vojskujejo z menoj, in Bog me je zapustil in mi ne odgovarja več, ne po prorokih, ne po sanjah; zato sem dal poklicati tebe, da mi oznaniš, kaj naj storim.

¹⁶Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?

¹⁶Samuel reče: Čemu pa vprašuješ mene, ker te je GOSPOD zapustil in je postal tvoj nasprotnik?

¹⁷And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbor, even to David:

¹⁷In GOSPOD je storil zase, kakor je po meni govoril, in GOSPOD je odtrgal kraljestvo iz roke tvoje in ga je dal bližnjiku tvojemu, Davidu.

¹⁸Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day.

¹⁸Ker nisi poslušal glasu GOSPODOVEGA in nisi izvršil silne jeze njegove nad Amalekom, zato ti je takole storil GOSPOD sedaj.

¹⁹Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.

¹⁹Vrhutega bo dal GOSPOD Izraela s teboj vred v roko Filistejcem, in jutri bodeš ti in sinovi tvoji pri meni; tudi vojsko Izraelovo da GOSPOD Filistejcem v roke.

²⁰Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.

²⁰Tedaj pade Savel naglo na tla, kakor je bil dolg, kajti silno se je prestrašil zaradi Samuelovih besed, in ni bilo nič moči več v njem, zakaj zaužil ni kruha cel dan in celo noč.

²¹And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me.

²¹In tista žena pristopi k Savlu in, videč, da je zelo preplašen, mu reče: Glej, dekla tvoja je poslušala glas tvoj, in izpostavila sem nevarnosti življenje svoje, poslušajoč besede tvoje, ki si mi jih govoril.

²²Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.

²²Sedaj pa poslušaj tudi ti, prosim, dekle svoje glas: predložim ti grižljaj kruha, in jej, da si opomoreš, ko pojdeš svojo pot.

²³But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.

²³On pa se brani in reče: Nočem jesti. Ali hlapca njegova s tisto ženo vred ga silita, in poslušal je njih glas. In vstane s tal in sede na posteljo.

²⁴And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:

²⁴Žena pa je imela v hiši pitano tele, in hitro ga zakolje, in vzame moke in jo zamesi in speče opresnike.Potem prinese pred Savla in njegova hlapca, in jedli so. Nato vstanejo in odidejo še tisto noč.

²⁵And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.

²⁵Potem prinese pred Savla in njegova hlapca, in jedli so. Nato vstanejo in odidejo še tisto noč.
