< 1 Samuel 27 >

1 And David said in his heart: I shall gone day or other fall into the hands of Saul: is it not better for me to flee, and to be saved in the land of the Philistines, that Saul may despair of me, and cease to seek me in all the coasts of Israel? I will flee then out of his hands.
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 went away, both he and the six hundred men that were with him, to Achis the son of Maoch, king of Geth.
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 dwelt with Achis at Geth, he and his men: every man with his household, and David with his two wives, Achinoam the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
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 was fled to Geth, and he sought no more after him.
Tango bayebisaki Saulo ete Davidi akimi na Gati, atikaki koluka ye.
5 And David said to Achis: If I have found favour in thy sight, let a place be given me in one of the cities of this country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell 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 Then Achis gave him Siceleg that day: for which reason Siceleg belongeth to the kings of Juda unto 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 dwelt in the country of the Philistines, was four months.
Davidi awumelaki na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia mobu moko mpe sanza minei.
8 And David and his men went up, and pillaged Gessuri, and Gerzi, and the Amalecites: for these were of old the inhabitants of the countries, as men go to Sur, even to 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 wasted all 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 Achis.
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 And Achis said to him: Whom hast thou gone against today? David answered: Against the south of Juda, and against the south of Jerameel, and against the south of Ceni.
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 saved neither man nor woman, neither brought he any of them to Geth, saying: Lest they should speak against us. So did David, and such was his proceeding all the days that he dwelt 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 Achis believed David, saying: He hath done much harm to his people Israel: therefore 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. »
