1 Samuel 28
Nouvelle Edition de Genève – NEG1979
Préparatifs de guerre des Philistins; Saül consulte une magicienne à En-Dor
28 En ce temps-là, les Philistins rassemblèrent leurs troupes et formèrent une armée, pour faire la guerre à Israël. Akisch dit à David: Tu sais que tu viendras avec moi à l’armée, toi et tes gens. 2 David répondit à Akisch: Tu verras bien ce que ton serviteur fera. Et Akisch dit à David: Aussi je te donnerai pour toujours la garde de ma personne. 3 Samuel était mort; tout Israël l’avait pleuré, et on l’avait enterré à Rama, dans sa ville. Saül avait ôté du pays ceux qui évoquaient les morts et ceux qui prédisaient l’avenir.
4 Les Philistins se rassemblèrent, et vinrent camper à Sunem; Saül rassembla tout Israël, et ils campèrent à Guilboa. 5 A la vue du camp des Philistins, Saül fut saisi de crainte, et un violent tremblement s’empara de son cœur. 6 Saül consulta l’Eternel; et l’Eternel ne lui répondit point, ni par des songes, ni par l’urim, ni par les prophètes. 7 Et Saül dit à ses serviteurs: Cherchez-moi une femme qui évoque les morts, et j’irai la consulter. Ses serviteurs lui dirent: Voici, à En-Dor il y a une femme qui évoque les morts. 8 Alors Saül se déguisa et prit d’autres vêtements, et il partit avec deux hommes. Ils arrivèrent de nuit chez la femme. Saül lui dit: Prédis-moi l’avenir en évoquant un mort, et fais-moi monter celui que je te dirai. 9 La femme lui répondit: Voici, tu sais ce que Saül a fait, comment il a retranché du pays ceux qui évoquent les morts et ceux qui prédisent l’avenir; pourquoi donc tends-tu un piège à ma vie pour me faire mourir? 10 Saül lui jura par l’Eternel, en disant: L’Eternel est vivant! il ne t’arrivera point de mal pour cela. 11 La femme dit: Qui veux-tu que je te fasse monter? Et il répondit: Fais moi monter Samuel.
12 Lorsque la femme vit Samuel, elle poussa un grand cri, et elle dit à Saül: Pourquoi m’as-tu trompée? Tu es Saül! 13 Le roi lui dit: Ne crains rien; mais que vois-tu? La femme dit à Saül: je vois un dieu qui monte de la terre. 14 Il lui dit: Quelle figure a-t-il? Et elle répondit: C’est un vieillard qui monte et il est enveloppé d’un manteau. Saül comprit que c’était Samuel, et il s’inclina le visage contre terre et se prosterna.
15 Samuel dit à Saül: Pourquoi m’as-tu troublé, en me faisant monter? Saül répondit: Je suis dans une grande détresse: les Philistins me font la guerre, et Dieu s’est retiré de moi; il ne m’a répondu ni par les prophètes ni par des songes. Et je t’ai appelé pour que tu me fasses connaître ce que je dois faire. 16 Samuel dit: Pourquoi donc me consultes-tu, puisque l’Eternel s’est retiré de toi et qu’il est devenu ton ennemi? 17 L’Eternel te traite comme je te l’avais annoncé de sa part; l’Eternel a déchiré la royauté d’entre tes mains, et l’a donnée à un autre, à David. 18 Tu n’as point obéi à la voix de l’Eternel, et tu n’as point fait sentir à Amalek l’ardeur de sa colère: voilà pourquoi l’Eternel te traite aujourd’hui de cette manière. 19 Et même l’Eternel livrera Israël avec toi entre les mains des Philistins. Demain, toi et tes fils, vous serez avec moi, et l’Eternel livrera le camp d’Israël entre les mains des Philistins.
20 Aussitôt Saül tomba à terre de toute sa hauteur, et les paroles de Samuel le remplirent d’effroi; de plus, il manquait de force, car il n’avait pris aucune nourriture de tout le jour et de toute la nuit.
21 La femme vint auprès de Saül, et, le voyant très effrayé, elle lui dit: Voici, ta servante a écouté ta voix; j’ai exposé ma vie, en obéissant aux paroles que tu m’as dites. 22 Ecoute maintenant, toi aussi, la voix de ta servante, et laisse-moi t’offrir un morceau de pain, afin que tu manges pour avoir la force de te mettre en route. 23 Mais il refusa, et dit: Je ne mangerai point. Ses serviteurs et la femme aussi le pressèrent, et il se rendit à leurs instances. Il se leva de terre, et s’assit sur le lit. 24 La femme avait chez elle un veau gras, qu’elle se hâta de tuer; et elle prit de la farine, la pétrit, et en cuisit des pains sans levain. 25 Elle les mit devant Saül et devant ses serviteurs. Et ils mangèrent. Puis, s’étant levés, ils partirent la nuit même.
1 Samuel 28
New International Version
28 In those days the Philistines gathered(A) their forces to fight against Israel. Achish said to David, “You must understand that you and your men will accompany me in the army.”
2 David said, “Then you will see for yourself what your servant can do.”
Achish replied, “Very well, I will make you my bodyguard(B) for life.”
Saul and the Medium at Endor
3 Now Samuel was dead,(C) and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in his own town of Ramah.(D) Saul had expelled(E) the mediums and spiritists(F) from the land.
4 The Philistines assembled and came and set up camp at Shunem,(G) while Saul gathered all Israel and set up camp at Gilboa.(H) 5 When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid; terror(I) filled his heart. 6 He inquired(J) of the Lord, but the Lord did not answer him by dreams(K) or Urim(L) or prophets.(M) 7 Saul then said to his attendants, “Find me a woman who is a medium,(N) so I may go and inquire of her.”
“There is one in Endor,(O)” they said.
8 So Saul disguised(P) himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. “Consult(Q) a spirit for me,” he said, “and bring up for me the one I name.”
9 But the woman said to him, “Surely you know what Saul has done. He has cut off(R) the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why have you set a trap(S) for my life to bring about my death?”
10 Saul swore to her by the Lord, “As surely as the Lord lives, you will not be punished for this.”
11 Then the woman asked, “Whom shall I bring up for you?”
“Bring up Samuel,” he said.
12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out at the top of her voice and said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me?(T) You are Saul!”
13 The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid. What do you see?”
The woman said, “I see a ghostly figure[a] coming up out of the earth.”(U)
14 “What does he look like?” he asked.
“An old man wearing a robe(V) is coming up,” she said.
Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.
15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?”
“I am in great distress,” Saul said. “The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed(W) from me. He no longer answers(X) me, either by prophets or by dreams.(Y) So I have called on you to tell me what to do.”
16 Samuel said, “Why do you consult me, now that the Lord has departed from you and become your enemy? 17 The Lord has done what he predicted through me. The Lord has torn(Z) the kingdom out of your hands and given it to one of your neighbors—to David. 18 Because you did not obey(AA) the Lord or carry out his fierce wrath(AB) against the Amalekites,(AC) the Lord has done this to you today. 19 The Lord will deliver both Israel and you into the hands of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons(AD) will be with me. The Lord will also give the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”
20 Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, filled with fear because of Samuel’s words. His strength was gone, for he had eaten nothing all that day and all that night.
21 When the woman came to Saul and saw that he was greatly shaken, she said, “Look, your servant has obeyed you. I took my life(AE) in my hands and did what you told me to do. 22 Now please listen to your servant and let me give you some food so you may eat and have the strength to go on your way.”
23 He refused(AF) and said, “I will not eat.”
But his men joined the woman in urging him, and he listened to them. He got up from the ground and sat on the couch.
24 The woman had a fattened calf(AG) at the house, which she butchered at once. She took some flour, kneaded it and baked bread without yeast. 25 Then she set it before Saul and his men, and they ate. That same night they got up and left.

サムエル記Ⅰ 28
Japanese Living Bible
サウルと霊媒師
28 そのころ、ペリシテ人はイスラエルと戦争を始めようとして、軍を召集しました。アキシュ王はダビデとその部下に、「いっしょに出陣してほしい」と頼みました。 2 ダビデは快く承知しました。「いいですとも。仰せのとおりにしましょう。」
「やってくれるか。あなたには今後ずっと、私の護衛を受け持ってもらおう。」
3 同じころ、イスラエルではサムエルが死んで、国中が喪に服していました。サムエルの遺体は故郷の町ラマに葬られました。また、サウル王はイスラエルから霊媒やまじない師を追放していました。
4 さて、ペリシテ人はシュネムに、サウルの率いるイスラエル軍はギルボアに、それぞれ陣を構えました。 5-6 サウルはペリシテ人の大軍を見て、恐ろしさのあまりひどく取り乱し、どうすべきか主に伺いを立てましたが、主は、夢によってもウリム〔神意を伺う一種のくじ〕によっても、また預言者によっても答えませんでした。 7-8 サウルはどうしても伺いを立てたかったので、やむなく、家臣に霊媒のできる女を捜し出してくるよう命じました。エン・ドルに一人の霊媒師がいることがわかりました。サウルは王衣を脱ぎ、ふつうの身なりに着替えて、部下二人を連れ、夜、その女の家に出向きました。
「死んだ人間と話したいのだが、その人の霊を呼び出してくれないか。」
9 「私を殺すつもりかい。知ってるだろう、サウル王が霊媒やまじない師を、片っぱしから追放したことをさ。きっと、あなたたちは私を探りに来たんだね。」
10 そこでサウルは、裏切るようなことは絶対にしないと、厳粛な誓いを立てました。 11 とうとう女も承知しました。「わかったよ、いったいだれを呼び出せばいいんだい。」
「サムエルを呼び出してくれ。」
12 霊媒の女はサムエルの姿を見たとたん、大声で叫びました。「よくもだましてくれたね。あんたはサウル王じゃないか。」
13 「恐れる必要はない。さあ、何が見えるんだ。」
「神のような方が地から上って来ます。」
14 「どんな様子だ。」
「外套をまとった老人です。」
サムエルです。サウルはその前にひれ伏しました。
15 サムエルは尋ねました。「どうして私を呼び出したりして、煩わすのか。」
「私はもう、途方にくれているのです。ペリシテ人が攻めて来るのに、主は私をお見捨てになり、預言者によっても、夢によっても答えてくださいません。思いあぐねて、あなたをお呼びしたのです。」
16 「主があなたから離れ、敵となってしまわれたのに、なぜ私に尋ねるのだ。 17 主は、予告どおりのことをなさったまでだ。あなたから王位を取り去り、対抗するダビデにお与えになった。 18 こうなったのもみな、あなたがあの時、アマレクに激しい怒りを向けておられた主のご命令を踏みにじったからだ。 19 そればかりではない、明日、イスラエル軍は総くずれとなり、ペリシテ人の手で滅ぼされるだろう。あなたも息子たちも、私といっしょになるだろう。」
20 サウルは地面に棒のように倒れてしまいました。サムエルのことばを聞いて、恐怖のあまり卒倒したのです。それに丸一日、食べ物を何も口にしていなかったのです。 21 霊媒の女はサウルが錯乱しているのを見て言いました。「王様。私は、いのちがけでご命令に従ったのです。 22 今度はこちらの言うとおりにしてください。食べる物を差し上げますから、それで元気を取り戻してお帰りください。」
23 王は首を横に振りました。しかし、供の者たちもいっしょになってしきりに勧めたので、ついに折れ、起き上がって床に座りました。 24 その家には、太った子牛がいました。女は急いで子牛を料理し、小麦粉をこねてパン種を入れないパンを焼きました。 25 料理が運ばれると、一行は食事をし、夜のうちに立ち去りました。
1 Samuel 28
King James Version
28 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.
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.
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.
4 And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.
5 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
6 And when Saul enquired of the Lord, the Lord answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
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.
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.
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?
10 And Saul sware to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
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.
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.
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.
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.
16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
25 And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
