< 1 Samuel 29 >

1 Now the Philistines brought all their forces together at Aphek, while Israel camped by the spring in Jezreel.
Mwet Philistia elos pangoneni mwet mweun lalos nukewa nu Aphek, ac mwet Israel elos tulokinya nien aktuktuk lalos sisken unon in kof se ke Infahlfal Jezreel.
2 As the Philistine leaders marched out their units of hundreds and thousands, David and his men marched behind them with Achish.
Tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia elos takla fahsr wi kais siofok ac kais tausin mwet mweun lalos. David ac mwet lal elos welul Tokosra Achish fahsr tok.
3 Then the commanders of the Philistines asked, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish replied, “Is this not David, the servant of King Saul of Israel? He has been with me all these days, even years, and from the day he defected until today I have found no fault in him.”
Na captain lun un mwet mweun Philistia elos liyalos ac siyuk, “Mea mwet Hebrew inge oru uh?” Tokosra Achish el topuk, “David pa inge. El sie mwet pwapa lun un mwet mweun lal Saul, tokosra lun mwet Israel. El muta yuruk paht kutu, ac wanginna ma nga liye el oru koluk, ke len se el tuku wiyula nwe inge.”
4 But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with Achish and told him, “Send that man back and let him return to the place you assigned him. He must not go down with us into battle only to become our adversary during the war. What better way for him to regain the favor of his master than with the heads of our men?
Tusruktu captain lun mwet Philistia inge elos mulat sel Tokosra Achish, ac fahk nu sel, “Folokunla mwet se ingan nu ke siti se ma kom sang lal ah. Nimet fuhlela elan wi kut mweun. Sahp el ac tuh forma lain kut ke mweun uh. Mea wo mwet se inge el ku in oru in akwoyalla nu sin leum lal sayen mwet lasr inge in misa?
5 Is this not the David about whom they sing in their dances: ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?”
Esam lah David pa inge, mwet se na ma mutan uh onkakin ac onsrosro kac ac fahk, ‘Saul el uniya tausin, a David el uniya ngoul tausin.’”
6 So Achish summoned David and told him, “As surely as the LORD lives, you have been upright in my sight, and it seems right that you should march in and out with me in the army, because I have found no fault in you from the day you came to me until this day. But you have no favor in the sight of the leaders.
Na Tokosra Achish el pangnolma David ac fahk nu sel, “Nga fulahk ye mutun God moul lun Israel lah kom arulana pwaye nu sik, ac nga arulana insewowo tuh kom in wiyu som mweun inge. Nga soenna konauk kutena ma sufal in kom, e ke na len se ma kom tuku nu yuruk ah nwe misenge. Tusruktu, tokosra wiuk inge elos alolo sum.
7 Therefore turn back now and go in peace, so that you will not do anything to displease the leaders of the Philistines.”
Tari, kom folokla nu in acn sum in misla, ac nimet oru kutena ma in aktoasryalos.”
8 “But what have I done?” David replied. “What have you found against your servant, from the day I came to you until today, to keep me from going along to fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
David el topuk, “Leum luk, ku mea nga oru sufal? Fin pwaye lah kom soenna konauk kutena ma sufal yuruk ke nga mutawauk in kulansupwekom nwe misenge, oana ma kom fahk inge, na efu ku nga kofla in wi mweuni mwet lokoalok lom, lah kom pa leum luk ac tokosra luk?”
9 Achish replied, “I know that you are as pleasing in my sight as an angel of God. But the commanders of the Philistines have said, ‘He must not go into battle with us.’
Tokosra Achish el topuk, “Aok, pwaye sum. Nga akilen mu suwohs lom oana suwohs lun sie lipufan lun God. Tusruktu, tokosra wiuk inge elos fahk tari mu kom tia ku in wi kut mweun.
10 Now then, get up early in the morning, along with your master’s servants who came with you, and go as soon as it is light.”
Na pa lututang kowos nukewa su tuku lukel Saul nu yuruk, kowos toang tukakek ac folokla nu yen suwos ke tufahna kalmelik.”
11 So David and his men got up early in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
Ouinge David ac mwet lal elos toang tukakek ke lotu tok ah, ac folok nu yen selos in acn Philistia, ac mwet Philistia elos fahlana nu Jezreel.
