1 Samuel 28 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

28 ¹Saa nna no mu, Filistifo boaboaa wɔn asraafo ano sɛ wɔbɛko atia Israel. Akis ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Wonim yiye sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wo ne wo mmarima ne me fi adi kɔ akono wɔ asraafo no mu.”

²Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Akis se, “Ɛno de, wobɛhu nea wo somfo betumi ayɛ.” Akis buaa no se, “Ɛyɛ, mede wo bɛyɛ me ho bammɔfo wo nkwa nna nyinaa.”

³Samuel awu dedaw; Israel nyinaa su no, na wosiee no wɔ ne kurow Rama mu. Saul ayi asamanfrɛfo ne abisafo afi asase no so.

⁴Filistifo no boaboaa wɔn ho ano, baa bɛtenaa Sunem; Saul nso boaboaa Israel nyinaa ano, na wɔtenaa Gilboa. ⁵Bere a Saul huu Filistifo asraafo no no, osuroe, na ne koma wosowee yiye. ⁶Saul bisaa yɛn Agya, nanso yɛn Agya ammua no—ɛnnam dae so, ɛnnam Urim so, ɛnnam adiyifo so.

⁷Saul ka kyerɛɛ ne nkoa se, “Monhwehwɛ ɔbaa samanfrɛfo bi mma me, na menkɔ nkɔbisa no.” Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Obi wɔ Endor.”

⁸Saul sesaa ne ho, hyɛɛ ntade foforo, ɔne mmarima baanu kɔɔ ɔbaa no nkyɛn anadwo, na ɔkae se, “Fa saman bi bisa ade ma me—frɛ nea mɛbɔ ne din no ma ɔmmra.”

⁹Ɔbaa no kae se, “Wonim nea Saul ayɛ—sɛnea watwa asamanfrɛfo ne ahonhommisafo afi asase no so. Adɛn nti na woresum me nkwa afiri sɛ wobɛma wɔakum me?”

¹⁰Saul de yɛn Agya kaa ntam kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛnea yɛn Agya te ase yi, eyi ho fɔbu biara renkɔ wo so.”

¹¹Ɔbaa no bisaa se, “Hena na menfrɛ no mma wo?” Ɔkae se, “Frɛ Samuel ma me.”

¹²Bere a ɔbaa no huu Samuel no, ɔteɛɛ mu den, na ɔka kyerɛɛ Saul se, “Adɛn nti na woadaadaa me? Wone Saul!”

¹³Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nsuro. Dɛn na wuhu?” Ɔbaa no ka kyerɛɛ Saul se, “Mehu ɔsoro abɔde bi sɛ ɔrefi fam aba.”

¹⁴Obisaa se, “Ne su te sɛn?” Ɔbaa no kae se, “Akwakoraa bi na ɔrefi aba a ɔde atade tenten akata ne ho.” Saul hui sɛ ɛyɛ Samuel, na ɔkotow de nʼanim butuw fam, de ne ho too fam.

¹⁵Samuel ka kyerɛɛ Saul se, “Adɛn nti na woahaw me, ama me aba?” Saul kae se, “Mewɔ ahohiahia kɛse mu. Filistifo no ko tia me, na yɛn Agya adan nʼakyi akyerɛ me—ɔmmua me bio, ɛnnam adiyifo anaa dae so. Enti na mafrɛ wo, na mahu nea ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ.”

¹⁶Samuel kae se, “Adɛn nti na wobisa me, bere a yɛn Agya agyaw wo, na wabɛyɛ wo tamfo? ^a a v16 Yɛn Agya annyae Saul dɔ; eyi yɛ atemmu kasa a ɛfa ɔhene bi a wapo no akyɛ ho—ɔdɔ a wɔasiw no kwan no awerɛhow, na ɛnyɛ Agya no koma a ayera. ¹⁷Yɛn Agya ayɛ sɛnea ɔnam me so kae no; watwe ahenni no afi wo nsam de ama wo yɔnko, Dawid. ¹⁸Esiane sɛ woantie yɛn Agya nne, na woamfa nʼabufuhyew no amma Amalek so nti, na ɔde eyi aba wo so nnɛ. ¹⁹Yɛn Agya de wo ne Israel bɛhyɛ Filistifo nsa; ɔkyena wo ne wo mmabarima bɛba me nkyɛn, na yɛn Agya de Israel asraafo nso bɛhyɛ Filistifo nsa.”

²⁰Ntɛm ara Saul hwee fam tenten, efisɛ Samuel nsɛm no maa ehu kaa no. Ahoɔden biara nni ne mu, efisɛ wanni aduan biara awia ne anadwo no nyinaa.

²¹Ɔbaa no baa Saul nkyɛn, huu sɛ ne ho adwiriw no, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Hwɛ, wʼafenaa atie wo. Mede me nkwa too me nsam, na meyɛɛ nea woka kyerɛɛ me no. ²²Afei mesrɛ wo, wo nso tie me, wʼafenaa. Ma memfa brodo kakra mma wo; di, na woanya ahoɔden atu kwan no.”

²³Ɔpoe se, “Merenni.” Nanso ne nkoa ne ɔbaa no hyɛɛ no ara kosii sɛ ɔpenee so, sɔre fii fam, na ɔtenaa mpa no so. ²⁴Ɔbaa no wɔ nantwi ba bi a wɔayɛ no srade wɔ fie; ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kum no, faa esiam, fotoo, na ɔtoo brodo a mmɔkaw nni mu. ²⁵Ɔde too Saul ne ne nkoa anim; wodii, na afei wɔsɔre kɔe saa anadwo no ara.
