# those who talk with the dead or with spirits The words "those who talk with the dead" translate as one word in the original language, and the words "those who ... talk with spirits" also translate as one word in the original language. If your language has one word for those who talk with the dead and one word for those who talk with spirits, or if your language has only one word for those who talk with the dead and with spirits, you should use those words here. See how you translated similar words in [1 Samuel 28:3](./03.md). # my life The word "life" represents the person. Alternate translation: "me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
