1 Samuel 27
1 And David said in his heart: “At some time, I will one day fall into the hands of Saul. Is it not better if I flee, and be saved in the land of the Philistines, so that Saul may despair and cease to seek me in all the parts of Israel? Therefore, I will flee away from his hands.”
A I iho la o Davida iloko o kona naau, e make auanei au i ka lima o Saula i kekahi la: e aho e holo koke au ma ka aina o ko Pilisetia; alaila aole manao o Saula e imi hou mai ia'u ma na wahi a pau o ka Iseraela: pela e pakele ai au i kona lima.
2 And David rose up and went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish, the son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
Ku ae la o Davida, a hele aku la me na kanaka eono haneri me ia io Akisa la, ke keiki a Maoka, ke alii o Gata.
3 And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men: each man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
A noho iho la o Davida me Akisa ma Gata, oia a me kona poe kanaka, o kela kanaka keia kanaka me kona ohua, o Davida me kana mau wahine, o Ahinoama no Iezereela, a o Abigaila no Karemela, ka wahine a Nabala.
4 And it was reported to Saul that David had fled to Gath. And so, he did not continue to seek him.
A haiia mai la ia Saula, ua holo o Davida ma Gata: aole ia i imi hou aku ia ia.
5 And David said to Achish: “If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be given to me in one of the cities of this region, so that I may live there. For why should your servant stay in the city of the king with you?”
Olelo aku la o Davida ia Akisa, Ina paha i alohaia mai au i kou maka, e haawi mai oe ia'u i wahi ma kekahi kulanakauhale ma ke kula i noho ai au malaila: no ke aha la o noho ai au me oe ma ke kulanakauhale alii?
6 And so, Achish gave Ziklag to him on that day. And for this reason, Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah, even to this day.
A haawi aku la o Akisa ia Zikelaga nona ia la: no ia mea, lilo aku la o Zikelaga no na'lii o ka Iuda a hiki i keia la.
7 Now the number of days that David lived in the region of the Philistines was four months.
A o na la o ko Davida noho ana ma ka aina o ko Pilisetia, hookahi ia makahiki a me na malama keu eha.
8 And David and his men went up and took plunder from Geshuri, and from Girzi, and from the Amalekites. For in the land long ago, these were the inhabitants of the area, going from Shur as far as the land of Egypt.
Hele aku la o Davida me kona poe kanaka, a kaua aku la i ko Gesura, a me ko Gerezi, a me ka Amaleka: no ka mea, he poe kamaaina kahiko lakou o ka aina, kahi e hele aku ai i Sura, a hiki loa i ka aina o Aigupita.
9 And David struck the entire land. Neither did he leave alive man or woman. And he took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the garments. And he returned and went to Achish.
A luku aku la o Davida i ka aina, aole i koe kekahi kanaka, aole hoi kekahi wahine e ola ana, a lawe ae la ia i na hipa, a me na bipi, a me na hoki, a me na kamelo, me ka lole, a hoi aku la a hiki io Akisa la.
10 Then Achish said to him, “Whom did you go out against today?” And David responded, “Against the south of Judah, and against the south of Jerahmeel, and against the south of Keni.”
I mai la o Akisa, Mahea kahi a oukou i hao ai i keia la? I aku la o Davida, ma ka aoao hema o ka Iuda, a ma ka aoao hema o ka Ierahemeeli, a ma ka aoao hema o ko Keni.
11 Neither man nor woman was left alive by David. Neither did he lead back any of them to Gath, saying, “Lest perhaps they may speak against us.” David did these things. And this was his decision during all the days that he lived in the region of the Philistines.
Aole i hoopakele o Davida i kekahi kanaka, aole hoi i kekahi wahine e ola ana e hele ma Gata e olelo, o hai aku lakou no makou, i ka i ana'e, Pela o Davida i hana'i, a pela hoi kana e hana aku ai i na manawa a pau o kona noho ana ma ka aina o na Pilisetia.
12 Therefore, Achish trusted David, saying: “He has worked much harm against his people Israel. And so, he will be a servant to me forever.”
Manao aku la o Akisa i ka Davida, ua oiaio, i iho la, Ua hoolilo oia ia ia iho i mea hoowahawaha loa ia e kona poe kanaka, e ka Iseraela, a e lilo ia i kauwa na'u i ka manawa mau loa.
