1 Ahinlah David amale ama akingaiton, “Nikhat leh Saul in tha tei ding eigot ahitai. Kabol thei pentah chu ahile Philistine gam'a jamdoh ing ting, Chutileh, Saul in Israel gamsunga eidal le le hi bei tante chuteng hichu kahoidoh na achaina hitante,” ati.
UDavida wasesithi enhliziyweni yakhe: Sengizabhubha ngolunye usuku ngesandla sikaSawuli. Kakulalutho olungcono kimi ngaphandle kokuphepha lokuphepha ngiye elizweni lamaFilisti, loSawuli uzadela ngami ukungidinga futhi kuwo wonke umngcele wakoIsrayeli; ngokunjalo ngiphephe esandleni sakhe.
2 Hichun David in a sepai mi jagup akipuijin, Gath lengpa Moach chapa Achish ajoptai. David le a sepaite, chule ainsung mite, Gath muna Achish toh acheng khom tauve.
Wasesukuma uDavida wachapha, yena labantu abangamakhulu ayisithupha ayelabo, waya kuAkishi indodana kaMahoki, inkosi yeGathi.
3 David chu aji teni, Ahinoam Jezreel a kon, chule Abigail, Nabal inneipi meithai Carmel’a kon hotoh hungkhom ahiuve.

4 Saul in adel jamle le theilou nading in David Gath lengpa komah ajamlut tai tithu chu Saul in gangtah in ana jatan ahi.
Kwathi kubikwa kuSawuli ukuthi uDavida ubalekele eGathi, kabe esamdinga futhi.
5 Nikhat David in Achish komah, “Kachunga nalung alhaiya, nalungsetna kachanthei dinga ahile, hiche kholen ho lah’a hin kachenna thei ding mun khat neipen, ajeh chu ipi dinga nasohpa hi hiche lengpa khopi sunga nangtoh kachen khom khom thei ding ham?” ati.
UDavida wasesithi kuAkishi: Uba khathesi ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, kabangiphe indawo komunye wemizi emaphandleni ukuthi ngihlale khona; ngoba inceku yakho izahlalelani lawe emzini wenkosi?
6 Hijeh chun Achish in hiche nikho chun Ziklag khopi chu David anape tai, hijeh a chu tuni changeija Ziklag khopi hi Juda lengte chang den ahitai.
UAkishi wasemnika iZikilagi ngalolosuku. Ngakho iZikilagi ingeyamakhosi akoJuda kuze kube lamuhla.
7 Chule amaho Philistine mite lah’a kum khat le lha li ana chenguve.
Lenani lensuku uDavida azihlala elizweni lamaFilisti lalingumnyaka lenyanga ezine.
8 David le a sepai te ana kon touvun Geshur mite le Girzi mite chule Amalek mite aga chom uvin ahi. Hiche mite hohi Shur toh kinai, Egypt mite gamsunga ana chenglui ahitauve.
UDavida labantu bakhe basebesenyuka bahlasela amaGeshuri lamaGirizi, lamaAmaleki, ngoba lawo ayengabahlali balelolizwe kwasendulo, lapho usiya eShuri, njalo kuze kube selizweni leGibhithe.
9 David in ana nokhum chun koimacha ana hinghoi pon ahi. Aman kelngoi, kelcha, bong, sangan, sa-ngong sao ana kikaiyin, chule ponho analan, Achish lengpa kom ana lhut in ahi.
UDavida waselitshaya ilizwe, kazatshiya ophilayo, owesilisa lowesifazana, wathatha izimvu lenkomo labobabhemi lamakamela lezigqoko, wabuyela wafika kuAkishi.
10 Achish in, “Tuchung koipen naga chom hitam?” tin anadongin ahile David in, “Juda gam lhanglam sang, Jerahmeel gamsung, Ken mite chenna gamsung dung pou kaga chom ahi,” ati.
Lapho uAkishi esithi: Belihlasela ngaphi lamuhla? UDavida wayesithi: Ngaseningizimu yakoJuda, langaseningizimu yamaJerameli, langaseningizimu yamaKeni.
11 David chun koimacha numei pasal khen beiyin ana thatgam jin, ama le amite natoh dol chu Gath khoa gaseidoh ding aumjipoi. Philistine miho lah’a aum sunga, avel vella hichehi abol jing kei ahi.
UDavida katshiyanga owesilisa kumbe owesifazana ophilayo, ukuletha ilizwi eGathi, esithi: Hlezi bakhulume ngathi, besithi: Wenze njalo uDavida. Wawunjalo-ke umkhuba wakhe zonke izinsuku azihlala elizweni lamaFilisti.
12 Achish chun David chu atahsan jeh chun, “Tuvang hin Israel miten David hi hatah in doudal tauvin tin, kakoma uma aimatih chana kakin abol ding hita hi,” tin ana gel’e.
UAkishi wasemkholwa uDavida esithi: Uzenze waba levumba kakhulu ebantwini bakibo koIsrayeli. Ngakho uzakuba yinceku yami kuze kube nininini.
