1 Sa:miuele 27

1 Da: ibidi da hisu amane sia: i, “Eso afae enoga Solo da na fane legemu. Na hamomu noga: idafa da Filisidini dunu ilia sogega hobeale masunu. Amasea, Solo da Isala: ili soge ganodini na hogolalu yolesimu, amola na da gaga: i dagoi ba: mu.

And David said in his heart: “At some time, I will one day fall into the hands of Saul. Is it not better if I flee, and be saved in the land of the Philistines, so that Saul may despair and cease to seek me in all the parts of Israel? Therefore, I will flee away from his hands.”

2 Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi ea 600 dadi gagui dunu ilia da amo galuwane Ga: de moilaia hina bagade A: igise (Ma: ioge egefe) ema asi.

And David rose up and went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish, the son of Maoch, the king of Gath.

3 Da: ibidi, ea dunu amola ilia sosogo fi huluane da Ga: de moilaiga ha: ini fi. Da: ibidi da ea uda aduna amo Ahinoua: me, (Yeselielega fi uda) amola Gamele amoga misi uda A: biga: ile, Na: iba: le ea didalo, amo ela oule asi.

And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men: each man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.

4 Solo da Da: ibidi Ga: de moilai bai bagadega hobea: i nababeba: le, e da Da: ibidi hogolalu yolesi.

And it was reported to Saul that David had fled to Gath. And so, he did not continue to seek him.

5 Da: ibidi da A: igisema amane sia: i, “Di da na sama galea, na amo ganodini esalumusa: moilai fonobahadi nama ima. Na da ani moilai bai bagade amo ganodini esalumu da hamedei galebe.”

And David said to Achish: “If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be given to me in one of the cities of this region, so that I may live there. For why should your servant stay in the city of the king with you?”

6 Amaiba: le, A:igise da Sigala: ge moilai ema i. Amohaganini, Yuda hina bagade dunu ilia da gebewane Sigala: ge moilai bai bagade gagulala.

And so, Achish gave Ziklag to him on that day. And for this reason, Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah, even to this day.

7 Da: ibidi da Filisidini soge amo ganodini oubi 16 agoane esalu.

Now the number of days that David lived in the region of the Philistines was four months.

8 Amo esoga, Da: ibidi amola ea gegesu dunu ilia da Gisie, Gesi amola A: malege fi dunu (amo da amo soge ganodini gebewane esalu) ilima doagagala: lu. E da ilia sogega doagagala: lu asili, Sie soge baligili, Idibidi sogega doaga: su.

And David and his men went up and took plunder from Geshuri, and from Girzi, and from the Amalekites. For in the land long ago, these were the inhabitants of the area, going from Shur as far as the land of Egypt.

9 E da dunu amola uda huluane fane lelegele dagole, amalu ilia sibi, bulamagau, dougi, ga: mele amola abula amolawane sasamogene gaguli asi. Amalu e da A: igisema buhagisu.

And David struck the entire land. Neither did he leave alive man or woman. And he took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the garments. And he returned and went to Achish.

10 Amalalu, A:igise da ema adole boba: lusu, “Di da waha habidili doagala: la asibala: ?” Amola Da: ibidi da ema e da Yuda ga (south) sogega o Yilamiele fi ilia sogega o Ginaide fi ilia esalebe sogega doagala: musa: asi, amo bu adole iasu.

Then Achish said to him, “Whom did you go out against today?” And David responded, “Against the south of Judah, and against the south of Jerahmeel, and against the south of Keni.”

11 Da: ibidi ea hou da, e da dunu amola uda huluanedafa fane lelegelalusu. Amalalu, dunu asili, Ga: de fi ilima Da: ibidi ea houdafa hamoi olelemu da hamedafa galu. Da: ibidi da Ga: de sogega esaloba, amo hou gebewane hamonanusu.

Neither man nor woman was left alive by David. Neither did he lead back any of them to Gath, saying, “Lest perhaps they may speak against us.” David did these things. And this was his decision during all the days that he lived in the region of the Philistines.

12 Be A: igise da Da: ibidi ea hou da moloidafa dawa: beba: le, hisu amane sia: i, “Hina: dunu fi Isala: ili ilia da Da: ibidi bagadewane higabeba: le, e da eso huluane na hawa: hamosa gebewane esalumu.”

Therefore, Achish trusted David, saying: “He has worked much harm against his people Israel. And so, he will be a servant to me forever.”
