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.
Davidi akanisaki mpe amilobelaki: « Mokolo ezali oyo Saulo akoboma ngai na nzela ya loboko na ye. Boye eleki malamu mpo na ngai kokima na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia. Na bongo nde Saulo akotika koluka ngai kati na Isalaele mobimba, mpe ngai nakokima loboko na ye. »
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.
Bongo Davidi elongo na bato nkama motoba oyo bazalaki elongo na ye batelemaki mpe bakendeki epai ya Akishi, mwana mobali ya Maoki, mokonzi ya Gati.
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.
Davidi mpe bato na ye bavandaki na Gati epai ya Akishi: mobali nyonso azalaki na libota na ye, mpe Davidi azalaki na basi na ye mibale: Ayinoami, moto ya Jizireyeli, mpe Abigayili oyo azalaki liboso mwasi ya Nabali, moto ya Karimeli.
4 And it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath; and he sought no more for him.
Tango bayebisaki Saulo ete Davidi akimi na Gati, atikaki koluka ye.
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?
Davidi alobaki na Akishi: « Soki nazwi ngolu na miso na yo, tika ete bapesa ngai esika epai wapi nakoki kovanda kati na moko ya bingumba ya mokili. Mpo na nini mosali na yo avanda na mboka mokonzi elongo na yo? »
6 And Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day.
Na mokolo wana, Akishi apesaki ye engumba ya Tsikilagi. Yango wana Tsikilagi ekoma kino na mokolo ya lelo engumba ya bakonzi ya Yuda.
7 And the time that David abode in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months.
Davidi awumelaki na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia mobu moko mpe sanza minei.
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.
Na tango wana, Davidi mpe bato na ye bazalaki kobundisa bato ya Geshuri, ya Girizi mpe ya Amaleki; pamba te wuta kala, bato ya bikolo yango bazalaki kovanda na mokili longwa na Shuri kino na Ejipito.
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.
Tango nyonso Davidi azalaki kobundisa mboka moko, azalaki kotika te na bomoi ezala mobali to mwasi. Nzokande azalaki kobotola bameme, bangombe, ba-ane, bashamo mpe bilamba. Bongo azalaki kozonga epai ya Akishi.
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.
Tango Akishi atunaki: — Bobundi wapi lelo? Davidi azongisaki: — Tobundi na sude ya Yuda, na sude ya mokili ya bato ya Yerameeli, mpe na sude ya mokili ya bato ya 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.
Davidi azalaki kotika te ete bamema na Gati, ezala mobali to mwasi, noki te bapanza sango na ye na maloba oyo: « Tala makambo oyo Davidi asalaki. » Davidi azalaki kosala kaka bongo, tango nyonso oyo avandaki na mboka ya bato ya Filisitia.
12 And Achish trusted David, saying, He has made himself utterly odious among his people Israel; and he shall be my servant for ever.
Akishi atielaki Davidi motema mpe alobaki: « Lokola Davidi amiyinisi na miso ya Isalaele, bato na ye, akozala mosali na ngai mpo na libela. »
