사무엘상 28

1그 때에 블레셋 사람이 이스라엘을 쳐서 싸우려고 군대를 모집한지라 아기스가 다윗에게 이르되 너는 밝히 알라 너와 네 사람들이 나와 한가지로 나가서 군대에 참가할 것이니라 2다윗이 아기스에게 이르되 그러면 당신이 종의 행할 바를 아시리이다 아기스가 다윗에게 이르되 그러면 내가 너로 영영히 내 머리 지키는 자를 삼으리라 하니라 3사무엘이 죽었으므로 온 이스라엘이 그를 애곡하며 그의 본성 라마에 장사하였고 사울은 신접한 자와 박수를 그 땅에서 쫓아 내었었더라 4블레셋 사람이 모여 수넴에 이르러 진 치매 사울이 온 이스라엘을 모아 길보아에 진 쳤더니 5사울이 블레셋 사람의 군대를 보고 두려워서 그 마음이 크게 떨린지라 6사울이 여호와께 묻자오되 여호와께서 꿈으로도, 우림으로도, 선지자로도 그에게 대답지 아니하시므로 7사울이 그 신하들에게 이르되 나를 위하여 신접한 여인을 찾으라 내가 그리로 가서 그에게 물으리라 그 신하들이 그에게 이르되 보소서 엔돌에 신접한 여인이 있나이다 8사울이 다른 옷을 입어 변장하고 두 사람과 함께 갈새 그들이 밤에 그 여인에게 이르러는 사울이 가로되 청하노니 나를 위하여 신접한 술법으로 내가 네게 말하는 사람을 불러올리라 9여인이 그에게 이르되 네가 사울의 행한 일 곧 그가 신접한 자와 박수를 이 땅에서 멸절시켰음을 아나니 네가 어찌하여 내 생명에 올무를 놓아 나를 죽게 하려느냐 10사울이 여호와로 그에게 맹세하여 가로되 여호와께서 사시거니와 네가 이 일로는 벌을 당치 아니하리라 11여인이 가로되 내가 누구를 네게로 불러 올리랴 사울이 가로되 사무엘을 불러 올리라 12여인이 사무엘을 보고 큰 소리로 외치며 사울에게 말하여 가로되 당신이 어찌하여 나를 속이셨나이까 당신이 사울이시니이다 13왕이 그에게 이르되 두려워 말라 네가 무엇을 보았느냐 여인이 사울에게 이르되 내가 신이 땅에서 올라오는 것을 보았나이다 14사울이 그에게 이르되 그 모양이 어떠하냐 그가 가로되 한 노인이 올라 오는데 그가 겉옷을 입었나이다 사울이 그가 사무엘인줄 알고 그 얼굴을 땅에 대고 절하니라 15사무엘이 사울에게 이르되 네가 어찌하여 나를 불러 올려서 나로 분요케 하느냐 사울이 대답하되 나는 심히 군급하니이다 블레셋 사람은 나를 향하여 군대를 일으켰고 하나님은 나를 떠나서 다시는 선지자로도, 꿈으로도 내게 대답지 아니하시기로 나의 행할 일을 배우려고 당신을 불러 올렸나이다 16사무엘이 가로되 여호와께서 너를 떠나 네 대적이 되셨거늘 네가 어찌하여 내게 묻느냐 17여호와께서 나로 말씀하신 대로 네게 행하사 나라를 네 손에서 떼어 네 이웃 다윗에게 주셨느니라 18네가 여호와의 목소리를 순종치 아니하고 그의 진노를 아말렉에게 쏟지 아니하였으므로 여호와께서 오늘날 이 일을 네게 행하셨고 19여호와께서 이스라엘을 너와 함께 블레셋 사람의 손에 붙이시리니 내일 너와 네 아들들이 나와 함께 있으리라 여호와께서 또 이스라엘 군대를 블레셋 사람의 손에 붙이시리라 20사울이 갑자기 땅에 온전히 엎드러지니 이는 사무엘의 말을 인하여 심히 두려워함이요 또 그 기력이 진하였으니 이는 그가 종일 종야에 식물을 먹지 못하였음이라 21그 여인이 사울에게 이르러 그 심히 고통함을 보고 그에게 이르되 여종이 왕의 말씀을 듣고 나의 생명을 아끼지 아니하고 왕이 내게 이르신 말씀을 청종하였사오니 22그런즉 청컨대 이제 여종의 말을 들으사 나로 왕의 앞에 한 조각 떡을 드리게 하시고 왕은 잡수시고 길 가실 때에 기력을 얻으소서 23사울이 거절하여 가로되 내가 먹지 아니하겠노라 그 신하들과 여인이 강권하매 그 말을 듣고 땅에서 일어나 침상에 앉으니라 24여인의 집에 살진 송아지가 있으므로 그것을 급히 잡고 가루를 취하여 뭉쳐 무교병을 만들고 구워서 25사울의 앞에와 그 신하들의 앞에 드리니 그들이 먹고 일어나서 그 밤에 가니라

1In those days, the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. Achish said to David, “Know assuredly that you shall go out with me in the army, you and your men.” 2David said to Achish, “Therefore you shall know what your servant will do.” Achish said to David, “Therefore will I make you my bodyguard for ever.” 3Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. Saul had put away those who had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land. 4The Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa. 5When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly. 6When Saul inquired of Yahweh, Yahweh didn’t answer him, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. 7Then Saul said to his servants, “Seek me a woman who has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her.” His servants said to him, “Behold, there is a woman who has a familiar spirit at Endor.” 8Saul disguised himself, and put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, “Please divine to me by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whomever I shall name to you.” 9The woman said to him, “Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?” 10Saul swore to her by Yahweh, saying, “As Yahweh lives, no punishment shall happen to you for this thing.” 11Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up to you?” He said, “Bring Samuel up for me.” 12When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!” 13The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid. For what do you see?” The woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up out of the earth.” 14He said to her, “What does he look like?” She said, “An old man comes up. He is covered with a robe.” Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and showed respect. 15Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up?” Saul answered, “I am very distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me, and answers me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I shall do.” 16Samuel said, “Why then do you ask of me, since Yahweh has departed from you and has become your adversary? 17Yahweh has done to you as he spoke by me. Yahweh has torn the kingdom out of your hand, and given it to your neighbor, even to David. 18Because you didn’t obey the voice of Yahweh, and didn’t execute his fierce wrath on Amalek, therefore Yahweh has done this thing to you this day. 19Moreover Yahweh will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Yahweh will deliver the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.” 20Then Saul fell immediately his full length on the earth, and was terrified, because of the words of Samuel. There was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night. 21The woman came to Saul, and saw that he was very troubled, and said to him, “Behold, your handmaid has listened to your voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have listened to your words which you spoke to me. 22Now therefore, please listen also to the voice of your handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength, when you go on your way.” 23But he refused, and said, “I will not eat.” But his servants, together with the woman, constrained him; and he listened to their voice. So he arose from the earth and sat on the bed. 24The woman had a fattened calf in the house. She hurried and killed it; and she took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread of it. 25She brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate. Then they rose up, and went away that night.

1En het geschiedde in die dagen, als de Filistijnen hun legers vergaderden tot den strijd, om tegen Israel te strijden, zo zeide Achis tot David: Gij zult zekerlijk weten, dat gij met mij in het leger zult uittrekken, gij en uw mannen. 2Toen zeide David tot Achis: Aldus zult gij weten, wat uw knecht doen zal. En Achis zeide tot David: Daarom zal ik u ten bewaarder mijns hoofds zetten, te allen dage. 3Samuel nu was gestorven, en gans Israel had rouw over hem bedreven; en zij hadden hem begraven te Rama, te weten in zijn stad. En Saul had uit het land weggedaan de waarzeggers en duivelskunstenaars. 4En de Filistijnen kwamen en vergaderden zich, en zij legerden zich te Sunem; en Saul vergaderde gans Israel, en zij legerden zich op Gilboa. 5Toen Saul het leger der Filistijnen zag, zo vreesde hij, en zijn hart beefde zeer. 6En Saul vraagde den HEERE; maar de HEERE antwoordde hem niet; noch door dromen, noch door de urim, noch door de profeten. 7Toen zeide Saul tot zijn knechten: Zoekt mij een vrouw, die een waarzeggenden geest heeft, dat ik tot haar ga, en door haar onderzoeke. Zijn knechten nu zeiden tot hem: Zie, te Endor is een vrouw, die een waarzeggenden geest heeft. 8En Saul verstelde zich, en trok andere klederen aan, en ging heen, en twee mannen met hem, en zij kwamen des nachts tot de vrouw, en hij zeide: Voorzeg mij toch door den waarzeggenden geest, en doe mij opkomen, dien ik tot u zeggen zal. 9Toen zeide de vrouw tot hem: Zie, gij weet, wat Saul gedaan heeft, hoe hij de waarzegsters en de duivelskunstenaars uit dit land heeft uitgeroeid; waarom stelt gij dan mijn ziel een strik, om mij te doden? 10Saul nu zwoer haar bij den HEERE, zeggende: Zo waarachtig als de HEERE leeft, indien u een straf om deze zaak zal overkomen! 11Toen zeide de vrouw: Wien zal ik u doen opkomen? En hij zeide: Doe mij Samuel opkomen. 12Toen nu de vrouw Samuel zag, zo riep zij met luider stem, en de vrouw sprak tot Saul, zeggende: Waarom hebt gij mij bedrogen? Want gij zijt Saul. 13En de koning zeide tot haar: Vrees niet; maar wat ziet gij? Toen zeide de vrouw tot Saul: Ik zie goden, uit de aarde opkomende. 14Hij dan zeide tot haar: Hoe is zijn gedaante? En zij zeide: Er komt een oud man op, en hij is met een mantel bekleed. Toen Saul vernam, dat het Samuel was, zo neigde hij zich met het aangezicht ter aarde, en hij boog zich. 15En Samuel zeide tot Saul: Waarom hebt gij mij onrustig gemaakt, mij doende opkomen? Toen zeide Saul: Ik ben zeer beangstigd, want de Filistijnen krijgen tegen mij, en God is van mij geweken, en antwoordt mij niet meer, noch door den dienst der profeten, noch door dromen; daarom heb ik u geroepen, dat gij mij te kennen geeft, wat ik doen zal. 16Toen zeide Samuel: Waarom vraagt gij mij toch, dewijl de HEERE van u geweken en uw vijand geworden is? 17Want de HEERE heeft voor Zich gedaan, gelijk als Hij door mijn dienst gesproken heeft; en heeft het koninkrijk van uw hand gescheurd, en Hij heeft dat gegeven aan uw naaste, aan David. 18Gelijk als gij naar de stem des HEEREN niet gehoord hebt, en de hittigheid Zijns toorns niet uitgericht hebt tegen Amalek; daarom heeft de HEERE u deze zaak gedaan te dezen dage. 19En de HEERE zal ook Israel met u in de hand der Filistijnen geven, en morgen zult gij en uw zonen bij mij zijn; ook zal de HEERE het leger van Israel in de hand der Filistijnen geven. 20Toen viel Saul haastelijk ter aarde, zo lang als hij was, en hij vreesde zeer vanwege de woorden van Samuel; ook was er geen kracht in hem; want hij had den gehelen dag en den gehelen nacht geen brood gegeten. 21De vrouw nu kwam tot Saul, en zag, dat hij zeer verbaasd was; en zij zeide tot hem: Zie, uw dienstmaagd heeft naar uw stem gehoord, en ik heb mijn ziel in mijn hand gesteld, en ik heb uw woorden gehoord, die gij tot mij gesproken hebt. 22Zo hoor toch gij nu ook naar de stem uwer dienstmaagd, en laat mij een bete broods voor u zetten, en eet; zo zal er kracht in u zijn, dat gij over weg gaat. 23Doch hij weigerde het, en zeide: Ik zal niet eten. Maar zijn knechten, en ook de vrouw, hielden bij hem aan. Toen hoorde hij naar hun stem, en hij stond op van de aarde, en zette zich op het bed. 24En de vrouw had een gemest kalf in het huis; en zij haastte zich en slachtte het; en zij nam meel, en kneedde het, en bakte daar ongezuurde van. 25En zij bracht ze voor Saul en voor zijn knechten, en zij aten; daarna stonden zij op, en gingen weg in dienzelfden nacht.
