The Egyptians will lose heart, and I will bring their plans to nothing; they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead, the mediums and the spiritists.

埃及人心神必在里面耗尽。我必败坏他们谋略。他们必求问偶像和念咒、、巫术。

When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?

有人对你们说：" 当求问那些和巫术，就是声音绵蛮，言语微细。" 你们便回答说：" 百姓不当求问自己　神吗？岂可为活人求问死人呢？"

Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in his own town of Ramah. Saul had expelled the mediums and spiritists from the land.

那时撒母耳已经死了，以色列众人为他哀哭，葬他在拉玛，就是在他本城里。扫罗曾在国内不容有和巫术人。

But the woman said to him, " Surely you know what Saul has done. He has cut off the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why have you set a trap for my life to bring about my death" ?

妇人对他说：" 你知道扫罗从国中剪除和巫术。你为何陷害我性命，使我死呢？"
