1 En aquellos días los filisteos reunieron sus ejércitos para guerrear contra Israel. ―Tú y tus hombres tienen que ayudarnos en la guerra —dijo a David el rey Aquis.
1 In those days, the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. Achish said to David, “Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the army, you and your men.”
2 ―Muy bien —dijo David—. Ya verás de cuánta ayuda podemos serte. ―Si lo haces, serás mi guardaespaldas durante el resto de tu vida —le dijo Aquis.
2 David said to Achish, “Therefore you will know what your servant can do.” Achish said to David, “Therefore I will make you my bodyguard forever.”
3 Por ese entonces Samuel ya había muerto y todo Israel lo había llorado. Lo sepultaron en Ramá, su ciudad. El rey Saúl había expulsado a todos los invocadores de los muertos y adivinos de la tierra de Israel.
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. Saul had sent away those who had familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land.
4 Los filisteos establecieron su campamento en Sunén, y Saúl y los ejércitos de Israel estaban en Guilboa.
4 The Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa.
5 Cuando Saúl vio el campamento de los filisteos, se llenó de pánico
5 When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
6 y consultó al Señor sobre lo que debía hacer. Pero el Señor no le contestó ni por sueños, ni por urim, ni por profetas.
6 When Saul inquired of Yahweh, Yahweh didn’t answer him by dreams, by Urim, or by prophets.
7 Saúl entonces dio órdenes a sus ayudantes de que tratasen de encontrar un médium para preguntarle lo que debía hacer. Y le dijeron que había una en Endor.
7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Seek for 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.”
8 Saúl se disfrazó usando vestiduras ordinarias en vez de sus túnicas reales, y se presentó ante la mujer de noche, acompañado por dos hombres. ―Quiero hablar con un hombre muerto —le rogó—. ¿Podrás hacer venir su espíritu?
8 Saul disguised himself and put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. Then he said, “Please consult for me by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whomever I shall name to you.”
9 ―¿Qué? ¿Quieres que me maten? —le dijo la mujer—. Tú sabes que Saúl ha hecho ejecutar a todos los invocadores de los muertos y adivinos. Tú debes ser un espía.
9 The 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?”
10 Pero Saúl le juró solemnemente que no.
10 Saul swore to her by Yahweh, saying, “As Yahweh lives, no punishment will happen to you for this thing.”
11 Por fin la mujer dijo: ―Bien, ¿a quién quieres que te traiga? ―Tráeme a Samuel —contestó Saúl.
11 Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up to you?” He said, “Bring Samuel up for me.”
12 Cuando la mujer vio a Samuel, le gritó a Saúl: ―¡Me has engañado! ¡Tú eres Saúl!
12 When 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!”
13 ―No tengas miedo —le dijo el rey—. ¿Qué es lo que ves? ―Veo una forma nebulosa que sube de la tierra —dijo ella.
13 The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid! What do you see?” The woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up out of the earth.”
14 ―¿A qué se parece? ―Es un anciano envuelto en una túnica. Saúl comprendió que era Samuel y se inclinó delante de él.
14 He 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.
15 ―¿Por qué me has molestado haciéndome volver? —preguntó Samuel a Saúl. Estoy muy angustiado —contestó Saúl—. Los filisteos están en guerra con nosotros y Dios me ha abandonado; no quiere responderme ni por profetas ni por sueños. Te he llamado para preguntarte qué debo hacer.
15 Samuel 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, by prophets, or by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I shall do.”
16 Pero Samuel respondió: ―¿Por qué me preguntas a mí si el Señor te ha dejado y se ha convertido en tu enemigo?
16 Samuel said, “Why then do you ask me, since Yahweh has departed from you and has become your adversary?
17 Él ha hecho simplemente lo que por boca mía había predicho y te ha quitado el reino y lo ha dado a tu rival David.
17 Yahweh 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.
18 Te trata así porque no has obedecido sus instrucciones cuando él estaba tan enojado con Amalec.
18 Because you didn’t obey Yahweh’s voice, and didn’t execute his fierce wrath on Amalek, therefore Yahweh has done this thing to you today.
19 Todo el ejército de Israel será derrotado y destruido por los filisteos mañana, y tú y tus hijos estarán conmigo.
19 Moreover 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.”
20 Saúl cayó cuan largo era, paralizado por el temor al escuchar las palabras de Samuel. Además, estaba fatigado, pues no había comido en todo el día.
20 Then Saul fell immediately his full length on the earth, and was terrified, because of Samuel’s words. There was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all day long or all night long.
21 Cuando la mujer lo vio tan confundido le dijo: ―Señor, yo obedecí tu orden con riesgo de mi vida.
21 The woman came to Saul and saw that he was very troubled, and said to him, “Behold, your servant 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.
22 Ahora haz lo que yo diga, y déjame que te dé algo de comer para que puedas recuperar las fuerzas y regresar.
22 Now therefore, please listen also to the voice of your servant, and let me set a morsel of bread before you. Eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way.”
23 Pero él se negó. Los hombres que estaban con él unieron sus súplicas a las de la mujer, hasta que él finalmente cedió y se levantó y se sentó en un diván.
23 But 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.
24 La mujer había estado engordando un ternero de modo que salió, lo mató, amasó harina y preparó panes sin levadura.
24 The 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.
25 Luego, trajo la comida al rey y a sus hombres, y ellos comieron. Y por la noche se fueron.
25 She brought it before Saul and before his servants, and they ate. Then they rose up and went away that night.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And that miserable man, for instance, until David departed, burst not forth into that piteous cry, bewail ing himself and saying, "I am sore distressed, and the Philistines make war against me, and the Lord is departed from me." Until he was separated from David, he fell not in war, but was both in safety and in glory; for indeed …
