1 Samuel 27
1 David, however, said to himself, “One of these days now I will be swept away by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will stop searching for me all over Israel, and I will slip out of his hand.”
Kinuna ni David iti nakemna, “Addanto ti aldaw a matayak babaen iti ima ni Saul; awan ti kasayaatan nga aramidek no di ti aglibas a mapan idiay daga dagiti Filisteo; Isardengton ni Saul ti panangbirbirokna kaniak iti amin a beddeng ti Israel; iti kastoy a wagas, makalibasak manipud iti imana.”
2 So David set out with his six hundred men and went to Achish son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
Nagrubwat ni David ket nagdaliasatda, isuna ken dagiti innem a gasut a lallaki a kaduana, a nagturong kenni Akis nga anak ni Maoc, nga ari ti Gat.
3 David and his men settled in Gath with Achish. Each man had his family with him, and David had his two wives: Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail of Carmel, the widow of Nabal.
Nakipagnaed ni David kenni Akis idiay Gat, isuna ken dagiti tattaona, amin al lallaki agraman ti sangkabalayanna, ket kadua ni David ti dua nga asawana a ni Ahinoam a taga-Jezreel, ken ni Abigail a taga-Carmel nga asawa ni Nabal.
4 And when Saul learned that David had fled to Gath, he no longer searched for him.
Naipadamag kenni Saul a naglibas ni David a nagturong idiay Gat, isu a saannan a binirok isuna.
5 Then David said to Achish, “If I have found favor in your eyes, let me be assigned a place in one of the outlying towns, so I can live there. For why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”
Kinuna ni David kenni Akis, “No nasayaatak iti panagkitam, ikkandak koma iti maysa a lugar iti maysa kadagiti siudad iti pagilian, a mabalinko a pagnaedan: ta apay koma a makipagnaed ti adipenmo iti siudad ti ari?
6 That day Achish gave him Ziklag, and to this day it still belongs to the kings of Judah.
Isu nga iti dayta nga aldaw, inted ni Akis kenkuana ti Siklag; dayta ti makagapu a ti Siglak ket kukua dagiti ari ti Juda agingga kadagitoy a tiempo.
7 And the time that David lived in Philistine territory amounted to a year and four months.
Maysa a tawen ken uppat a bulan a nagnaed ni David iti daga dagiti Filisteo.
8 Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. (From ancient times these people had inhabited the land extending to Shur and Egypt.)
Rinaut ni David ken dagiti tattaona dagiti nadumaduma a luglugar, rinautna dagiti tattao a taga-Gesur, Girzi ken Amalec; ta dagitoy dagiti agnanaed iti daga, agturong idiay Shur, agingga iti daga ti Egipto. Agnanaedda sadiay iti nabayag unayen a tiempo.
9 Whenever David attacked a territory, he did not leave a man or woman alive, but he took the flocks and herds, the donkeys, camels, and clothing. Then he would return to Achish,
Rinaut ni David ti daga ket awan a pulos ti imbatina a lalaki wenno babai a sibibiag; innalana dagiti karnero, dagiti baka, dagiti asno, dagiti kamelio, ken dagiti pagan-anay; kalpasan daytoy agawid isuna ket dumagas iti ayan ni Akis.
10 who would ask him, “What have you raided today?” And David would reply, “The Negev of Judah,” or “The Negev of Jerahmeel,” or “The Negev of the Kenites.”
Saludsoden ni Akis, “Siasino ti rinautmo ita nga aldaw?” Isungbat ni David, “Rinautko ti abagatan a paset ti Juda,” wenno “Ti abagatan a masakupan iti tribu ti Jerameel,” wenno “Ti abagatan a paset dagiti Kineo.”
11 David did not leave a man or woman alive to be brought to Gath, for he said, “Otherwise they will report us, saying, ‘This is what David did.’” And this was David’s custom the whole time he lived in Philistine territory.
Awan ti sibibiag nga ibatbati ni David nga uray maysa a lalaki wenno babai a mangidanon kadagitoy idiay Gat, a kunana, “Tapno saanda nga ibaga ti maipapan kadatayo, 'Kastoy ti aramid ni David.”' Dastoy ti masansan nga ar-aramidenna iti panagnaedna iti pagilian dagiti Filisteo.
12 So Achish trusted David, thinking, “Since he has made himself an utter stench to his people Israel, he will be my servant forever.”
Namati ni Akis kenni David, a kunana, “Pinagurana iti kasta unay dagiti tattaona nga Israelita kenkuana; isu nga agbalinto isuna nga adipenko iti agnanayon.”
