1 Samuel 28
1 Some time later, the people of Philistia gathered their army to attack the Israelis [again]. King Achish told David, “I am expecting that you and your men will join with my men to attack [the Israelis].”
| و واقع شد در آن ایام که فلسطینیان لشکرهای خود را برای جنگ فراهم آوردند تا با اسرائیل مقاتله نمایند، و اخیش به داود گفت: «یقین بدان که تو و کسانت همراه من به اردو بیرون خواهید آمد.» | ۱ |
2 David replied, “[We will go with you, and then] you will see for yourself what we can do!” Achish said, “Okay, I will appoint you to be my bodyguard permanently.”
| داود به اخیش گفت: «به تحقیق خواهی دانست که بنده تو چه خواهدکرد.» اخیش به داود گفت: «از این جهت تو راهمیشه اوقات نگاهبان سرم خواهم ساخت.» | ۲ |
3 [While Samuel was still alive, Saul did many things that pleased Yahweh. One of the good things that] Saul [did was to] expel from Israel all the people who were fortune-tellers or who talked to the spirits of dead people. But Samuel had died, and all the Israeli people had mourned for him. Then they had buried him in Ramah, his hometown. [After that, Saul did not try to please Yahweh any more].
| و سموئیل وفات نموده بود، و جمیع اسرائیل به جهت او نوحه گری نموده، او را درشهرش رامه دفن کرده بودند، و شاول تمامی اصحاب اجنه و فالگیران را از زمین بیرون کرده بود. | ۳ |
4 The army of Philistia gathered and set up their tents at Shunem [city, in the north of Israel]. Saul gathered the Israeli army and set up their tents at Gilboa [in the eastern part of the same valley].
| و فلسطینیان جمع شده، آمدند و در شونیم اردو زدند، و شاول تمامی اسرائیل را جمع کرده، در جلبوع اردو زدند. | ۴ |
5 When Saul saw the army of Philistia, he became so afraid that his heart pounded/shook.
| و چون شاول لشکرفلسطینیان را دید، بترسید و دلش بسیار مضطرب شد. | ۵ |
6 He prayed to Yahweh, but Yahweh did not answer him. Yahweh did not [tell Saul what he should do by] giving him a dream, or by [having the priest throw] the marked stones [that were in his sacred vest], or by [giving a message about Saul to] any prophet.
| و شاول از خداوند سوال نمود و خداوند اورا جواب نداد، نه به خوابها و نه به اوریم و نه به انبیا. | ۶ |
7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find for me a woman who talks to the spirits of dead people, in order that I can ask her [what will happen].” His servants replied, “There is a woman in Endor [town] who does that.”
| و شاول به خادمان خود گفت: «زنی را که صاحب اجنه باشد، برای من بطلبید تا نزد او رفته، از او مسالت نمایم.» خادمانش وی را گفتند: «اینک زنی صاحب اجنه در عین دور می‌باشد.» | ۷ |
8 So Saul [took off the clothes that showed that he was the king, and he] put on ordinary clothes (to disguise himself/so that people would not recognize who he was). Then he and two of his men went during the night to talk to that woman. Saul said to her, “I want you to talk to a spirit [of someone who has died]. Cause to appear the person whose name I will [give to you].”
| و شاول صورت خویش را تبدیل نموده، لباس دیگر پوشید و دو نفر همراه خود برداشته، رفت و شبانگاه نزد آن زن آمده، گفت: «تمنا اینکه به واسطه جن برای من فالگیری نمایی و کسی راکه به تو بگویم از برایم برآوری.» | ۸ |
9 But the woman replied, “You surely know what Saul has done. He expelled from this land all the people who talk to spirits of dead people and all fortune-tellers. I think that you are trying to trap me, in order that I will be executed [for doing something that is not permitted].”
| آن زن وی راگفت: «اینک آنچه شاول کرده است می‌دانی که چگونه اصحاب اجنه و فالگیران را از زمین منقطع نموده است، پس تو چرا برای جانم دام می‌گذاری تا مرا به قتل رسانی؟» | ۹ |
10 Saul replied, solemnly asking Yahweh to listen to what he was saying, “Just as surely as Yahweh lives, you will not be punished for doing this.”
| و شاول برای وی به یهوه قسم خورده، گفت: «به حیات یهوه قسم که از این امر به تو هیچ بدی نخواهد رسید.» | ۱۰ |
11 Then the woman said, “Whom do you want me to cause to appear?” Saul replied, “Cause Samuel to appear.”
| آن زن گفت: «از برایت که را برآورم؟» او گفت: «سموئیل را برای من برآور.» | ۱۱ |
12 [So] the woman [did that. But] when she saw Samuel, she screamed. She said, “You have tricked me [RHQ]! You are Saul! [You will execute me for doing this]!”
| و چون آن زن سموئیل را دید به آواز بلند صدا زد و زن، شاول را خطاب کرده، گفت: «برای چه مرا فریب دادی زیرا تو شاول هستی.» | ۱۲ |
13 Saul said to her, “Do not be afraid. What do you see?” The woman said, “I see a god/spirit coming up out of the ground.”
| پادشاه وی را گفت: «مترس! چه دیدی؟» آن زن در جواب شاول گفت: «خدایی را می‌بینم که از زمین بر می‌آید.» | ۱۳ |
14 Saul said, “What does he look like?” The woman replied, “An old man wearing a robe is appearing.” Then Saul knew that it was Samuel. So he bowed down with his face touching the ground.
| او وی را گفت: «صورت او چگونه است؟» زن گفت: «مردی پیر بر می‌آید و به ردایی ملبس است.» پس شاول دانست که سموئیل است و روبه زمین خم شده، تعظیم کرد. | ۱۴ |
15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you bothered/disturbed me by causing me to appear?” Saul said, “I am very worried. The army of Philistia is about to attack my army, and God has abandoned me. He does not answer my questions any more. He does not give me dreams [to tell me what to do] or give messages to prophets [to tell me what to do]. That is the reason that I came to see you. So you tell me what I should do!”
| و سموئیل به شاول گفت: «چرا مرابرآورده، مضطرب ساختی؟» شاول گفت: «درشدت تنگی هستم چونکه فلسطینیان با من جنگ می‌نمایند و خدا از من دور شده، مرا نه به واسطه انبیا و نه به خوابها دیگر جواب می‌دهد، لهذا تو راخواندم تا مرا اعلام نمایی که چه باید بکنم.» | ۱۵ |
16 Samuel said, “Yahweh has abandoned you and has become your enemy. So why do you ask me [what you should do]? [RHQ]
| سموئیل گفت: «پس چرا از من سوال می‌نمایی و حال آنکه خداوند از تو دور شده، دشمنت گردیده است. | ۱۶ |
17 He has done what he told me [previously] that he would do to you. He has torn the kingdom away from you, and he is giving it to someone who is another Israeli—David.
| و خداوند به نحوی که به زبان من گفته بود، برای خود عمل نموده است، زیراخداوند سلطنت را از دست تو دریده، آن را به همسایه ات داود داده است. | ۱۷ |
18 You did not obey Yahweh. Yahweh was very angry with the Amalek people-group. You did not [kill all of their animals], with the result that you did not show that he was very angry with them. That is the reason that he has done this to you today.
| چونکه آوازخداوند را نشنیدی و شدت غضب او را برعمالیق به عمل نیاوردی، بنابراین خداوند امروزاین عمل را به تو نموده است. | ۱۸ |
19 Yahweh will enable the Philistia army to defeat you and all the other Israeli soldiers. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me [in the place where spirits of dead people are]. Yahweh will cause the whole Israeli army to be defeated by the Philistia army.” [And after Samuel said that, he disappeared].
| و خداونداسرائیل را نیز با تو به‌دست فلسطینیان خواهدداد، و تو و پسرانت فردا نزد من خواهید بود، و خداوند اردوی اسرائیل را نیز به‌دست فلسطینیان خواهد داد.» | ۱۹ |
20 Saul immediately fell flat on the ground. He was so afraid because of what Samuel had said that he became paralyzed. He was also very weak because he had not eaten anything all that day and night.
| و شاول فور به تمامی قامتش بر زمین افتاد، و از سخنان سموئیل بسیار بترسید. وچونکه تمامی روز و تمامی شب نان نخورده بود، هیچ قوت نداشت. | ۲۰ |
21 The woman saw that he was extremely worried/terrified. She said to him, “Listen to me! I have done what you requested me to do. I could be executed for doing that.
| و چون آن زن نزد شاول آمده، دید که بسیار پریشان حال است وی راگفت: «اینک کنیزت آواز تو را شنید و جانم را به‌دست خود گذاشتم و سخنانی را که به من گفتی اطاعت نمودم. | ۲۱ |
22 So now please pay attention to what I say. Allow me to give you some food, in order that you will [eat it and] get enough strength to go back [to your army].”
| پس حال تمنا اینکه تو نیز آوازکنیز خود را بشنوی تا لقمه‌ای نان به حضورت بگذارم و بخوری تا قوت یافته، به راه خودبروی.» | ۲۲ |
23 But Saul refused. He said, “No, I will not eat anything.” Then Saul’s servants also urged him [to eat something], and finally he heeded what they said. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
| اما او انکار نموده، گفت: «نمی خورم.» لیکن چون خادمانش و آن زن نیز اصرار نمودند، آواز ایشان را بشنید و از زمین برخاسته، بر بسترنشست. | ۲۳ |
24 The woman had a fat calf close to her house. She quickly slaughtered it [and cooked it]. She took some flour and mixed it [with olive oil], and baked it without putting in any yeast.
| و آن زن گوساله‌ای پرواری در خانه داشت. پس تعجیل نموده، آن را ذبح کرد و آردگرفته، خمیر ساخت و قرصهای نان فطیر پخت. | ۲۴ |
25 She placed the food in front of Saul and his servants, and they ate some of it. Then that night they got up and left.
| و آنها را نزد شاول و خادمانش گذاشت که خوردند. پس برخاسته، در آن شب روانه شدند. | ۲۵ |
