< 1 Samuel 29 >
1 Jo-Filistia nochoko jolwenjgi duto Afek, to jo-Israel to nojot but soko man Jezreel.
Afilisti anasonkhanitsa asilikali awo onse ku Afeki, ndipo Israeli anamanga misasa yawo pa chitsime cha Yezireeli.
2 Kane jotend Filistia wuotho dhi kaachiel gi jolwenjgi mane ochan e migepe mag miche gi alufe, Daudi gi joge kod Akish bende ne wuotho kaluwo bangʼ-gi.
Pamene atsogoleri a Afilisti ankatsogolera magulu awo ankhondo a miyandamiyanda, Davide ndi ankhondo ake ankayenda pambuyo pamodzi ndi Akisi.
3 To jotend lweny mag jo-Filistia nopenjo niya, “Jo-Hibraniagi to timo angʼo ka?” Akish nodwoko niya, “Ma, donge en Daudi, mane jatelo mar Saulo ma ruodh Israel? Osedak koda mokadho higa, to chakre chiengʼ mane oweyo Saulo nyaka chil kawuono, pok aneno rach moro kuome.”
Tsono atsogoleri a Afilisti aja anafunsa kuti, “Kodi Ahebri awa akufuna chiyani?” Akisi anayankha kuti, “Uyu ndi Davide, mtumiki wa Sauli mfumu ya Israeli. Iye wakhala ndi ine kwa masiku ndithu, kapena titi zaka ndipo kuyambira tsiku limene anachoka kwa Sauli mpaka lero, ine sindinapeze cholakwa mwa iye.”
4 To jotend lweny mag jo-Filistia nokecho kode ma giwacho niya, “Riemb ngʼatni odogi mondo odog kama ne imiye. Ok onego odhi kodwa e lweny, nikech e kinde ma lweny dhi nyime onyalo lokore kodwa. Donge mano e yo monyalo morogo ruodhe konego jowa moko?
Koma atsogoleri a ankhondo a Afilisti anamukwiyira Akisi kwambiri ndipo anati, “Mubweze munthuyu kuti abwerere ku malo amene unamupatsa. Iye asapite nafe ku nkhondo kuopa kuti angadzasanduke mdani wathu. Kodi iyeyu adzadziyanjanitsa bwanji ndi mbuye wake? Iyeyutu adzadziyanjanitsa ndi mbuye wake pakupha anthu ali panowa?
5 Ma donge e Daudi mane giwero e miendgi niya, “‘Saulo osenego ji alufu to Daudi osenego ji alufe kod alufe?’”
Paja ameneyu ndi Davide yemwe ankamuvinira namuyimbira kuti, “‘Sauli wapha anthu 1,000 koma Davide wapha miyandamiyanda?’”
6 Omiyo Akish noluongo Daudi mowachone niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, ni isebedo ngʼat migeno kendo daher mondo ibed achiel kuom jolweny maga. Chakre chiengʼ mane ibiroe ira nyaka chil kawuono, pok aneno ketho moro kuomi, kata kamano jotend jo-Filistia ok oyie kodi.
Kotero Akisi anayitana Davide ndipo anamuwuza kuti, “Pali Yehova wamoyo, iwe wakhala wodalirika ndipo chikanakhala chinthu chabwino kuti uzimenya nkhondo pamodzi nane popeza chibwerere iwe kuno ine sindinapeze cholakwa chilichonse ndi iwe. Koma atsogoleri enawa ndiwo sakukufuna.
7 Omiyo wuok kae kendo idog gi kwe, kik itim gima diwangʼ ii jotend jo-Filistia.”
Tsono bwerera. Upite mu mtendere kuopa kuti ungachite kanthu kena koyipira atsogoleri a Afilistiwa.”
8 Daudi nopenjo niya, “To angʼo masetimo? Rach mane miyudo kuom jatichni nyaka chakre chiengʼ mane abiroe nyaka chil kawuono? Angʼo mamona kedo gi wasik ruoth ma ruodha?”
Davide anafunsa Akisi kuti, “Kodi ndachita chiyani? Kodi mwapeza cholakwa chotani mwa ine mtumiki wanu chiyambire kukutumikirani mpaka lero? Tsono chifukwa chiyani sindingapite kukamenya nkhondo ndi adani a mbuye wanga mfumu?”
9 Akish nodwoke niya, “Angʼeyo ni isebet ka iber e wangʼa mana ka malaika mar Nyasaye; to kata kamano jotend jolweny mag jo-Filistia osewacho ni, ‘Kik odhi kodwa e lweny.’
Akisi anayankha kuti, “Ine ndikudziwa kuti ndiwe wangwiro ngati mngelo wa Mulungu. Komabe atsogoleri a ankhondo a Afilisti akuti, ‘Davide asapite nafe ku nkhondo.’
10 Koro chiew gokinyi in kaachiel gi jotich ruodhi mane obiro kodi mondo umond udhi ka piny yawore.”
Tsono udzuke mmamawa, pamodzi ndi ankhondo ako amene unabwera nawo, ndipo unyamuke kukangocha.”
11 Omiyo Daudi kod joge nochiewo gokinyi mangʼich ma gidok e piny jo-Filistia, ka jo-Filistia to dhi Jezreel.
Choncho Davide ndi anthu ake anadzuka mmamawa kubwerera ku dziko la Afilisti. Koma Afilistiwo anapita ku Yezireeli.
