1 Samuel 27
1 And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me to seek me any more within all the limits of Israel, and I shall escape out of his hand.
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 arose and passed over, he and the six hundred men that were with him, to Achish, the son of Maoch, 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 abode with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household; David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jizreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
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 told Saul that David had fled to Gath; and he sought no more for 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 now I have found favour in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some country-town, that I may abide there; for why should thy servant abide in the royal city with thee?
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 Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah 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 And the time that David abode in the country of the Philistines was a year and 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 made a raid upon the Geshurites, and the Gerzites, and the Amalekites: for those were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, and 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 smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came 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 So Achish said, Have ye not made a raid to-day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.
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 And David left neither man nor woman alive, to bring [them] to Gath, for he said, Lest they should tell of us, saying, So did David. And such was his custom as long as he abode in the country 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 And Achish trusted David, saying, He has made himself utterly odious among his people Israel; and he shall be my servant for ever.
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.
