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.
Daawit garuu akkana jedhee yaade; “Guyyoota kanneen keessaa gaafa tokko ani harka Saaʼoliin nan ajjeefama. Wanni ani gochuu qabu guddaan gara biyya Filisxeemotaatti baqachuu dha. Ergasiis Saaʼol guutummaa biyya Israaʼel keessa na barbaaduu ni dhiisa; anis harka isaa jalaa nan baʼa.”
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.
Kanaafuu Daawit namoota dhibba jaʼaan isa wajjin turan wajjin kaʼee Aakiish mooticha Gaati, ilma Maaʼooki bira dhaqe.
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.
Daawitii fi namoonni isaa Gaati keessa Aakiish bira turan. Tokkoon tokkoon namaas maatii isaa wajjin ture; Daawitis niitota isaa lamaan jechuunis Ahiinooʼam kan lammii Yizriʼeelii fi Abiigayiil lammii Qarmeloos kan niitii Naabaal turte sana wajjin ture.
4 And it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath; and he sought no more for him.
Saaʼolis yommuu akka Daawit gara Gaatitti baqate dhagaʼetti isa barbaaduu dhiise.
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?
Daawitis Aakiishiin, “Yoo ani fuula kee duratti surraa argadhee jiraadhe, akka ani achi jiraadhuuf magaalaawwan biyyattii keessaa magaalaa tokko keessatti iddoon naaf haa kennamu. Garbichi kee maaliif si wajjin magaalaa mootii keessa jiraata?” jedhe.
6 And Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day.
Akkasiin Aakiish gaafuma sana Siiqlaagin isaaf kenne; magaalattiinis gaafasii jalqabdee kan mootota Yihuudaa taate.
7 And the time that David abode in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months.
Daawitis waggaa tokkoo fi jiʼa afur biyya Filisxeemotaa jiraate.
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.
Yeroo sanattis Daawitii fi namoonni isaa kaʼanii Geshuurota, Girzootaa fi Amaaleqoota weeraran. Namoonni kunneen bara duriitii jalqabanii biyya Shuuri kan hamma Gibxitti balʼatu keessa jiraachaa turan.
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.
Daawit yeroo biyya sana lole hunda dhiira yookaan dubartii tokko illee lubbuun hin hambifne; garuu hoolotaa fi loon, harrootaa fi gaalawwan akkasumas uffata fudhatee gara Aakiishitti deebiʼe.
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.
Yeroo Aakiish, “Harʼa eenyun weerartan?” jedhee gaafatetti, Daawit, “Negeeb Yihuudaa” yookaan “Negeeb Yeramiʼeelotaa” yookaan “Negeeb Qeenotaa” jedhe.
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.
Daawitis, “Waan isaan, ‘Wanni Daawit godhe kana dha’ jedhanii nurratti odeessan” jedhee yaadeef akka dhiirri yookaan dubartiin tokko iyyuu Gaatitti geeffamaniif lubbuun hin hambifne. Wanni inni yeroo biyya Filisxeem keessa jiraate hunda hojjetes kanuma ture.
12 And Achish trusted David, saying, He has made himself utterly odious among his people Israel; and he shall be my servant for ever.
Aakiishis waan, “Inni saba isaa Israaʼel biratti jibbamaa of godheera; kanaafuu bara baraan garbicha koo taʼa” jedhee yaadeef Daawitin ni amane.
