1 Samuel 29
1 Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek, and the Israelites encamped by the fountain which is in Jezreel.
Filisxeemonni loltoota isaanii hunda Afeeqitti walitti qabatan; Israaʼeloonni immoo burqaa Yizriʼeel keessa jiru bira qubatan.
2 And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands, and David and his men passed on in the rearward with Achish.
Yommuu bulchitoonni Filisxeem dhibba dhibbaa fi kuma kumaan qoodamanii duulanitti Daawitii fi namoonni isaa Aakiish wajjin dugda duuba deemaa turan.
3 Then the rulers of the Philistines said, What are these Hebrews? And Achish said to the rulers of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell away to me to this day?
Ajajjoonni loltoota Filisxeemis, “Ibroonni kunneen maali asii hojjetu?” jedhanii gaafatan. Aakiishis deebisee, “Kun Daawit qondaalticha Saaʼol mooticha Israaʼel sanaa mitii? Inni waggaa tokko caalaa na wajjin ture; gaafa inni Saaʼolin dhiisee jalqabee hamma ammaatti ani yakka tokko illee isa irratti hin argine” jedhe.
4 But the rulers of the Philistines were angry with him. And the rulers of the Philistines said to him, Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where thou have appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us. For with what does this man reconcile himself to his lord? Would it not be with the heads of these men?
Ajajjoonni loltoota Filisxeem garuu isatti aaranii akkana jedhan; “Akka inni iddoo ati isa itti ramadde sanatti deebiʼuuf namicha kana deebisii ergi. Inni nu wajjin duuluu hin qabu; yoo kanaa achii inni lola keessatti nutti garagala. Inni yoo mataa namoota keenyaa kukkutuudhaan taʼe malee akkamitti gooftaa isaatti araaramuu dandaʼa?
5 Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands?
Daawit kun namichuma isaan, “‘Saaʼol kumaatama ajjeese; Daawit immoo kuma kumaatama ajjeese’ jedhanii sirbanii shubbisaniif sana mitii?”
6 Then Achish called David, and said to him, As Jehovah lives, thou have been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the army is good in my sight, for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming to me to this day. Nevertheless the lords do not favor thee.
Kanaafuu Aakiish Daawitin waamee akkana jedheen; “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, ati nama amanamaa turte; ani utuu ati na wajjin loltoota keessa tajaajiltee nan gammada. Gaafa ati na bira dhuftee jalqabee hamma harʼaatti ani yakka tokko illee sirratti hin argine; garuu bulchitoonni si hin fudhanne.
7 Therefore now return, and go in peace, that thou not displease the lords of the Philistines.
Deebiʼii nagaan deemi; waan bulchitoota Filisxeemotaa gaddisiisu tokko illee hin hojjetin.”
8 And David said to Achish, But what have I done? And what have thou found in thy servant so long as I have been before thee to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?
Daawit, “Garuu ani maalin godhe? Erga ani gara kee dhufee jalqabee hamma ammaatti yakki ati tajaajilaa kee irratti argite maali? Ani maaliifin dhaqee diinota gooftaa koo mootichaa waraanuu hin dandaʼu?” jedhee gaafate.
9 And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou are good in my sight, as an agent of God, notwithstanding the rulers of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.
Aakiish akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani akka ati fuula koo duratti akkuma ergamaa Waaqayyoo namatti toltu beeka; taʼus ajajjoonni Filisxeemotaa, ‘Inni nu wajjin duuluu hin qabu’ jedhaniiru.
10 Therefore now rise up early in the morning with the servants of thy lord who have come with thee, and as soon as ye are up early in the morning, and have light, depart.
Egaa amma kaʼiitii tajaajiltoota gooftaa keetii kanneen si wajjin dhufan wajjin ganamaan akkuma lafti ifeen deemaa.”
11 So David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
Kanaafuu Daawitii fi namoonni isaa ganama bariin kaʼanii gara biyya Filisxeemotaa dhaquuf qajeelan; Filisxeemonni immoo gara Yizriʼeelitti ol baʼan.
