| 1 Samuel 28 | Ch- | Bk- | Save as | Bk+ | Ch+ | שמואל א |
| וֽיהי֙ בימ֣ים הה֔ם ויקבצ֨ו פלשת֤ים את־מֽחניהם֙ לצב֔א להלח֖ם בישרא֑ל וי֤אמר אכיש֙ אל־דו֔ד יד֣ע תד֗ע כ֤י אתי֙ תצ֣א בֽמחנ֔ה את֖ה ואנשֽיך׃ | 1Sam 28:1 And 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. |
| וי֤אמר דוד֙ אל־אכ֔יש לכן֙ את֣ה תד֔ע א֥ת אשר־יעש֖ה עבד֑ך וי֤אמר אכיש֙ אל־דו֔ד לכ֗ן שמ֧ר לראש֛י אשֽימך֖ כל־הימֽים׃ | 1Sam 28:2 And 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. |
| ושמוא֣ל מ֔ת ויספדו־לו֙ כל־ישרא֔ל ויקבר֥הו ברמ֖ה ובעיר֑ו ושא֗ול הס֛יר האב֥ות ואת־הידענ֖ים מהאֽרץ׃ | 1Sam 28:3 Now 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. |
| ויקבצ֣ו פלשת֔ים ויב֖או ויחנ֣ו בשונ֑ם ויקב֤ץ שאול֙ את־כל־ישרא֔ל וֽיחנ֖ו בגלבֽע׃ | 1Sam 28:4 And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa. |
| וי֥רא שא֖ול את־מחנ֣ה פלשת֑ים ויר֕א ויחר֥ד לב֖ו מאֽד׃ | 1Sam 28:5 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled. |
| וישא֤ל שאול֙ בֽיהו֔ה ול֥א ענ֖הו יהו֑ה ג֧ם בחלמ֛ות ג֥ם באור֖ים ג֥ם בנביאֽם׃ | 1Sam 28:6 And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. |
| וי֨אמר שא֜ול לעבד֗יו בקשו־לי֙ א֣שת בעלת־א֔וב ואלכ֥ה אל֖יה ואדרשה־ב֑ה ויאמר֤ו עבדיו֙ אל֔יו הנ֛ה א֥שת בֽעלת־א֖וב בע֥ין דֽור׃ | 1Sam 28:7 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor. |
| ויתחפ֣ש שא֗ול וילבש֙ בגד֣ים אחר֔ים וי֣לך ה֗וא ושנ֤י אנשים֙ עמ֔ו ויב֥או אל־האש֖ה ל֑ילה וי֗אמר קֽסמי־נ֥א לי֙ בא֔וב וה֣עלי ל֔י א֥ת אשר־אמ֖ר אלֽיך׃ | 1Sam 28:8 And 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. |
| ות֨אמר הֽאש֜ה אל֗יו הנ֨ה את֤ה יד֙עת֙ א֣ת אשר־עש֣ה שא֔ול אש֥ר הכר֛ית את־האב֥ות ואת־הידענ֖י מן־הא֑רץ ולמ֥ה את֛ה מתנק֥ש בנפש֖י להמיתֽני׃ | 1Sam 28:9 And 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? |
| ויש֤בֽע לה֙ שא֔ול בֽיהו֖ה לאמ֑ר חי־יהו֕ה אֽם־יקר֥ך עו֖ן בדב֥ר הזֽה׃ | 1Sam 28:10 And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing. |
| ות֙אמר֙ הֽאש֔ה את־מ֖י אֽעלה־ל֑ך וי֕אמר את־שמוא֖ל הֽעלי־לֽי׃ | 1Sam 28:11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. |
| ות֤רא הֽאשה֙ את־שמוא֔ל ותזע֖ק בק֣ול גד֑ול ותאמר֩ האש֨ה אל־שא֧ול לאמ֛ר ל֥מה רמית֖ני ואת֥ה שאֽול׃ | 1Sam 28:12 And 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. |
| וי֨אמר ל֥ה המ֛לך אל־תֽירא֖י כ֣י מ֣ה רא֑ית ות֤אמר הֽאשה֙ אל־שא֔ול אלה֥ים רא֖יתי על֥ים מן־האֽרץ׃ | 1Sam 28:13 And 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. |
| וי֤אמר לה֙ מֽה־תאר֔ו ות֗אמר א֤יש זקן֙ על֔ה וה֥וא עט֖ה מע֑יל וי֤דע שאול֙ כֽי־שמוא֣ל ה֔וא ויק֥ד אפ֛ים א֖רצה וישתֽחו׃ | 1Sam 28:14 And 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. |
| וי֤אמר שמואל֙ אל־שא֔ול ל֥מה הרגזת֖ני להעל֣ות את֑י וי֣אמר ש֠אול צר־ל֨י מא֜ד ופלשת֣ים׀ נלחמ֣ים ב֗י וֽאלה֞ים ס֤ר מֽעלי֙ ולֽא־ענ֣ני ע֗וד ג֤ם ביֽד־הנביאם֙ גם־ב֣חלמ֔ות ואקרא֣ה לך֔ להודיע֖ני מ֥ה אעשֽה׃ | 1Sam 28:15 And 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. |
| וי֣אמר שמוא֔ל ול֖מה תשאל֑ני ויהו֛ה ס֥ר מעל֖יך ויה֥י ערֽך׃ | 1Sam 28:16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy? |
| וי֤עש יהוה֙ ל֔ו כאש֖ר דב֣ר ביד֑י ויקר֨ע יהו֤ה את־הממלכה֙ מיד֔ך וֽיתנ֖ה לרעך֥ לדוֽד׃ | 1Sam 28:17 And 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 neighbour, even to David: |
| כאש֤ר לֽא־שמ֙עת֙ בק֣ול יהו֔ה ולֽא־עש֥ית חרון־אפ֖ו בעמל֑ק על־כן֙ הדב֣ר הז֔ה עשֽה־לך֥ יהו֖ה הי֥ום הזֽה׃ | 1Sam 28:18 Because 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. |
| וית֣ן י֠הוה ג֣ם את־ישרא֤ל עמך֙ ביד־פלשת֔ים ומח֕ר את֥ה ובנ֖יך עמ֑י ג֚ם את־מחנ֣ה ישרא֔ל ית֥ן יהו֖ה ביד־פלשתֽים׃ | 1Sam 28:19 Moreover 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. |
| וימה֣ר שא֗ול ויפ֤ל מלא־קֽומתו֙ א֔רצה ויר֥א מא֖ד מדבר֣י שמוא֑ל גם־כ֙ח֙ לא־ה֣יה ב֔ו כ֣י ל֤א אכל֙ ל֔חם כל־הי֖ום וכל־הלֽילה׃ | 1Sam 28:20 Then 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. |
| ותב֤וא הֽאשה֙ אל־שא֔ול ות֖רא כי־נבה֣ל מא֑ד ות֣אמר אל֗יו הנ֨ה שמע֤ה שפחֽתך֙ בקול֔ך ואש֤ים נפשי֙ בכפ֔י וֽאשמע֙ את־דבר֔יך אש֥ר דב֖רת אלֽי׃ | 1Sam 28:21 And 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. |
| ועת֗ה שמֽע־נ֤א גם־אתה֙ בק֣ול שפחת֔ך ואש֧מה לפנ֛יך פת־ל֖חם ואכ֑ול ויה֤י בך֙ כ֔ח כ֥י תל֖ך בדֽרך׃ | 1Sam 28:22 Now 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. |
| וימא֗ן וי֙אמר֙ ל֣א אכ֔ל ויפרצו־ב֤ו עבדיו֙ וגם־ה֣אש֔ה וישמ֖ע לקל֑ם וי֙קם֙ מֽהא֔רץ וי֖שב אל־המטֽה׃ | 1Sam 28:23 But 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. |
| ולאש֤ה עֽגל־מרבק֙ בב֔ית ותמה֖ר ותזבח֑הו ותקח־ק֣מח ות֔לש ותפ֖הו מצֽות׃ | 1Sam 28:24 And 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: |
| ותג֧ש לפנֽי־שא֛ול ולפנ֥י עבד֖יו ויאכ֑לו ויק֥מו וילכ֖ו בל֥ילה ההֽוא׃ | 1Sam 28:25 And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night. |
