Kings I 29
1 And the Philistines gather all their armies to Aphec, and Israel encamped in Aendor, which is in Jezrael.
Basi Wafilisti walikusanya pamoja majeshi yao yote huko Afeki; Waisraeli wakapiga kambi karibu na chemchemi iliyoko Yezreeli.
2 And the lords of the Philistines went on by hundreds and thousands, and David and his men went on in the rear with Anchus.
Nao wakuu wa Wafilisti wakapitwa na mamia kwa maelfu; Daudi na watu wake wakapita wakiwa wa mwisho pamoja na Akishi.
3 And the lords of the Philistines said, Who [are] these that pass by? And Anchus said to the captains of the Philistines, [Is] not this David the servant of Saul king of Israel? He has been with us some time, even this second year, and I have not found any fault in him from the day that he attached himself to me even until this day.
Kisha wakuu wa Wafilisti wakasema, “Hawa Waebrania wanafanya nini hapa?” Akishi akawaambia wakuu wengine wa Wafilisti, “Huyu si Daudi, mtumishi wa Sauli, mfalme wa Israeli, ambaye amekaa nami kwa siku hizi, au kwa miaka hii, nami nimeona hana kosa tangu aje kwangu hadi leo?”
4 And the captains of the Philistines were displeased at him, and they say to him, Send the man away, and let him return to his place, where you did set him; and let him not come with us to the war, and let him not be a traitor in the camp: and wherewith will he be reconciled to his master? Will it not be with the heads of those men?
Lakini wale wakuu wa Wafilisti walimkasirikia Akishi; wakamwabia, Mfukuze mtu huyo, aende kwake kule ulikompatia; usimruhusu aende nasi vitani, ili asiwe adui yetu katika vita. Kwa jinsi gani mtu huyu angeweza kufanya amani na bwana wake? Siyo kwa gharama ya vichwa vya watu wetu?
5 [Is] not this David whom they celebrated in dances, saying, Saul has struck his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
Je, huyu siye Daudi ambaye walimuimba kwa kupokezana na kucheza, wakisema: 'Sauli ameua maelfu yake, Na Daudi makumi elfu yake?”'
6 And Anchus called David, and said to him, [As] the Lord lives, you [are] right and approved in my eyes, and [so is] your going out and your coming in with me in the army, and I have not found [any] evil to charge against you from the day that you came to me until this day: but you are not approved in the eyes of the lords.
Ndipo Akishi alimwita Daudi na kumwambia, “Kama BWANA aishivyo, umekuwa mwema, na kutoka kwako na kuingia kwako pamoja nami katika jeshi ni kwema kama nionavyo mimi; maana sijaona kosa kwako tangu siku unakuja kwangu hadi siku hii ya leo. Hata hivyo, wakuu hawakupendi.
7 Now then return and go in peace, thus you shall not do evil in the sight of the lords of the Philistines.
Basi sasa rudi na uende kwa amani, ili usiwakwaze wakuu wa Wafilisti.”
8 And David said to Anchus, What have I done to you? and what have you found in your servant from the [first] day that I was before you even until this day, that I should not come and war against the enemies of the lord my king?
Daudi akamwambia Akishi, “Lakini nimefanya nini? Kitu gani umekiona kwa mtumishi wako kwa muda ambao nimekuwa mbele yako hadi leo, kiasi kwamba nisiende kupigana na adui za bwana wangu mfalme?”
9 And Anchus answered David, I know that you [are] good in my eyes, but the lords of the Philistines say, He shall not come with us to the war.
Akishi akajibu na kumwambia Daudi, “Najua kwamba hauna lawama mbele zangu kama alivyo malaika wa Mungu; hata hivyo, wale wakuu wa Wafilisti wamesema, Kamwe hatapanda pamoja nasi hadi vitani.'
10 Now then rise up early in the morning, you and the servants of your lord that are come with you, and go to the place where I appointed you, and entertain no evil thought in your heart, for you [are] good in my sight: and rise early for your journey when it is light, and depart.
Basi sasa amka asubuhi na mapema na watumishi wa bwana wako waliokuja pamoja nawe; mara tu muamkapo asubuhi na mapema na kupata mwanga, ondokeni.”
11 So David arose early, he and his men, to depart and guard the land of the Philistines: and the Philistines went up to Jezrael to battle.
Hivyo Daudi aliamka mapema, yeye pamoja na watu wake, waondoke asubuhi, warudi kule katika nchi ya Wafilisti. Lakini Wafilisti walipanda kwenda Yezreeli.
