¹Ja neil päevil sündis, et vilistid kogusid oma väehulgad sõjakäigule, võitluseks Iisraeli vastu; ja Aakis ütles Taavetile: 'Tea, et sul tuleb koos minuga minna välja leeri, sinul ja su meestel!'

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

²Ja Taavet ütles Aakisele: 'Hea küll! Nüüd saad sa teada, mida su sulane suudab teha.' Ja Aakis ütles Taavetile: 'Hea küll! Ma panen sind kogu ajaks kaitsma mu pead.'

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

³Saamuel oli surnud, kogu Iisrael oli teda leinanud ja nad olid ta matnud Raamasse, ta oma linna. Ja Saul oli maalt kaotanud lausujad ja ennustajad.

³(Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and they had buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away the necromancers and the soothsayers out of the land.)

⁴Ja vilistid kogunesid ja tulid ning lõid leeri üles Suunemisse; ja Saul kogus kokku kogu Iisraeli ning nemad lõid leeri üles Gilboasse.

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

⁵Aga kui Saul nägi vilistite leeri, siis ta kartis ja ta süda värises väga.

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

⁶Ja Saul küsis Issandalt, aga Issand ei vastanud temale ei unenägude, uurimi ega prohvetite läbi.

⁶And Saul inquired of Jehovah; but Jehovah did not answer him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets.

⁷Siis Saul ütles oma sulastele: 'Otsige mulle üks naine, kellel on lausuja vaim, siis ma lähen tema juurde ja küsin temalt!' Ja ta sulased ütlesid temale: 'Vaata, Een-Dooris on lausuja vaimuga naine.'

⁷Then said Saul to his servants, Seek me a woman that has a spirit of Python, that I may go to her and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman who has a spirit of Python at En-dor.

⁸Saul tegi ennast tundmatuks, pani teised riided selga ja läks, tema ja kaks meest koos temaga, ja nad tulid öösel naise juurde; ja ta ütles: 'Ennusta ometi mulle vaimu abil ja lase tõusta mu ette see, keda ma sulle nimetan!'

⁸And Saul disguised himself, and put on other garments, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said, I pray thee, divine to me by the spirit of Python, and bring me [him] up whom I shall name to thee.

⁹Aga naine vastas temale: 'Vaata, sa ju tead, mida Saul on teinud, kuidas ta maalt kaotas lausujad ja ennustajad. Miks sa tahad nüüd seada mu hingele püünist, et saata mind surma?'

⁹And the woman said to him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul has done, how he has cut off the necromancers and the soothsayers out of the land; and why layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?

¹⁰Aga Saul vandus temale Issanda juures, öeldes: 'Nii tõesti kui Issand elab, selle asja eest ei taba sind karistus!'

¹⁰And Saul swore unto her by Jehovah, saying, [As] Jehovah liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.

¹¹Naine küsis: 'Keda pean laskma tõusta su ette?' Ja ta vastas: 'Lase Saamuel tõusta mu ette!'

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

¹²Aga kui naine nägi Saamueli, siis ta kisendas kõvasti; ja naine rääkis Saulile, öeldes: 'Miks sa mind petsid? Sina oled ju Saul!'

¹²And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? Even thou art Saul.

¹³Aga kuningas ütles temale: 'Ära karda! Ütle ainult, mida sa näed!' Ja naine ütles Saulile: 'Ma näen jumalat maa seest üles tõusvat.'

¹³And the king said to her, Be not afraid; but what didst thou see? And the woman said to Saul, I saw a god ascending out of the earth.

¹⁴Siis ta küsis temalt: 'Kuidas ta välja näeb?' Ja naine vastas: 'Üks vana mees tõuseb üles ja tal on kuub seljas.' Siis mõistis Saul, et see oli Saamuel, ja ta heitis silmili maha ning kummardas.

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

¹⁵Ja Saamuel küsis Saulilt: 'Miks sa tülitad mind, lastes mind üles tõusta?' Ja Saul vastas: 'Mul on väga kitsas käes, sest vilistid sõdivad mu vastu ja Jumal on minu juurest lahkunud ega vasta mulle enam ei prohvetite ega unenägude läbi. Sellepärast ma hüüdsin sind, et sa annaksid mulle teada, mida ma pean tegema.'

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

¹⁶Aga Saamuel ütles: 'Mispärast sa küsid minult, kui Issand on sinu juurest lahkunud ja on saanud su vaenlaseks?

¹⁶And Samuel said, Why then dost thou inquire of me, seeing Jehovah is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?

¹⁷Issand on tõesti sulle teinud, nagu ta minu läbi on rääkinud: Issand on kiskunud kuningriigi sinu käest ja on selle andnud su ligimesele Taavetile.

¹⁷And Jehovah has done for himself as he spoke by me; and Jehovah has rent the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy neighbour, to David.

¹⁸Et sa ei ole kuulanud Issanda häält ega ole andnud amalekile tunda tema tulist viha, siis nüüd on Issand teinud seda sinule.

¹⁸Because thou didst not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, and didst not execute his fierce anger upon Amalek, therefore has Jehovah done this thing to thee this day.

¹⁹Issand annab ka Iisraeli koos sinuga vilistite kätte ja homme oled sa koos oma poegadega minu juures. Issand annab vilistite kätte ka Iisraeli leeri.'

¹⁹And Jehovah will also give Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines; and to-morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me; the army of Israel also will Jehovah give into the hand of the Philistines.

²⁰Siis langes Saul äkitselt täies pikkuses maha, nii väga kartis ta Saamueli sõnu. Temal ei olnud ka enam jõudu, sest ta ei olnud leiba söönud kogu päeva ja kogu öö.

²⁰And Saul fell straightway his full length 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.

²¹Aga naine tuli Sauli juurde ja, nähes, et ta oli väga hirmunud, ütles temale: 'Vaata, su teenija kuulis su häält ja ma panin oma elu kaalule ning kuulsin su sõnu, mis sa mulle kõnelesid.

²¹And the woman came to Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said to him, Behold, thy bondmaid has hearkened to thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened to thy words which thou spokest to me.

²²Ja nüüd kuule ometi ka sina oma teenija häält ja lase ma panen su ette palukese leiba; söö, et sul oleks jõudu teeleminekuks!'

²²And now, I pray thee, hearken thou also to the voice of thy bondmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength when thou goest on thy way.

²³Aga ta keeldus ja ütles: 'Mina ei söö.' Siis käisid temale peale niihästi ta sulased kui ka naine, ja ta kuulis nende häält; ja ta tõusis maast ning istus voodi peale.

²³But he refused and said, I will not eat. Then his servants, and the woman also, compelled him, and he hearkened to their voice; and he arose from the earth and sat on the bed.

²⁴Ja naisel oli kodus nuumvasikas; ta tappis selle kiiresti, võttis jahu, sõtkus ja küpsetas hapnemata leiba.

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

²⁵Ja ta tõi toidu Sauli ja tema sulaste ette ning need sõid; siis nad tõusid ja läksid ära selsamal ööl.

²⁵and she brought it near before Saul, and before his servants, and they ate. And they rose up and went away that night.
