1 Samuel 27
1 But David said to himself, “One of these days Saul is going to get me. I think I'd better run away to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up looking for me all over Israel and he won't catch me.”
Dafidi sì wí ní ọkàn ara rẹ̀ pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ni ìjọ kan ni èmi yóò ti ọwọ́ Saulu ṣègbé, kò sì sí ohun tí ó yẹ mí jù kí èmi yára sá àsálà lọ sórí ilẹ̀ àwọn Filistini, yóò sú Saulu láti máa tún wa mi kiri ní gbogbo agbègbè Israẹli, èmi a sì bọ́ lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.”
2 So David and the six hundred men with him set off, crossed the border, and went to Achish, son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
Dafidi sì dìde, ó sì rékọjá, òun pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹ̀ta ọmọkùnrin tí o ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ sí Akiṣi, ọmọ Maoki, ọba Gati.
3 David and his men settled down with Achish in Gath. All the men had their families with them, and David had his two wives, Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail from Carmel, Nabal's widow.
Dafidi sì bá Akiṣi jókòó ní Gati, òun, àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ, olúkúlùkù wọn pẹ̀lú ará ilé rẹ̀; Dafidi pẹ̀lú àwọn aya rẹ̀ méjèèjì, Ahinoamu ará Jesreeli, àti Abigaili ará Karmeli aya Nabali.
4 When Saul found out that David had run away to Gath, he didn't go on looking for him.
A sì sọ fún Saulu pé, Dafidi sálọ si Gati, òun kò sì tún wá á kiri mọ́.
5 David said to Achish, “Please do me a favor: assign me somewhere in one of the towns in the countryside so I can live there. I, your servant, don't really deserve to live in the royal city with you.”
Dafidi sì wí fún Akiṣi pé, “Bí ó bá jẹ́ pé èmi rí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ lójú rẹ̀, jẹ́ kí wọn ó fún mi ní ibìkan nínú àwọn ìletò wọ̀nyí; èmi yóò máa gbé ibẹ̀, èéṣe tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ yóò sì máa bá ọ gbé ní ìlú ọba.”
6 Achish gave him Ziklag right away, and the town still belongs to the kings of Judah to this day.
Akiṣi sí fi Siklagi fún un ní ọjọ́ náà nítorí náà ni Siklagi fi dí ọba Juda títí ó fi dì òní yìí.
7 David lived in the country of the Philistines for a year and four months.
Iye ọjọ́ tí Dafidi fi jókòó ní ìlú àwọn Filistini sì jẹ́ ọdún kan àti oṣù mẹ́rin.
8 During that time David and his men were raiding the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. These people had lived in the land as far as Shur and Egypt from ancient times.
Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì gòkè lọ, wọ́n sì gbé ogun ti àwọn ará Geṣuri, àti àwọn ará Gesri, àti àwọn ará Amaleki àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ó sì tí ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ náà, láti ìgbà àtijọ́, bí ó ti fẹ̀ lọ sí Ṣuri títí ó fi dé ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
9 When David attacked a place, he did not leave anybody alive. He took the flocks and herds, the donkeys, camels, and clothing. Then he would go back to Achish.
Dafidi sì kọlu ilẹ̀ náà kò sì fi ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin sílẹ̀ láààyè, ó sì kó àgùntàn, àti màlúù, àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àti ìbákasẹ, àti aṣọ, ó sì yípadà ó tọ Akiṣi wá.
10 When Achish asked him, “Where have you been raiding today?” David would reply, “In the desert of Judah,” or “the desert of Jerahmeel,” or “the desert of the Kenites.”
Akiṣi sì bi í pé, “Níbo ni ẹ̀yin gbé rìn sí lónìí?” Dafidi sì dáhùn pé, “Sí ìhà gúúsù ti Juda ni, tàbí sí ìhà gúúsù ti Jerahmeeli,” tàbí “Sí ìhà gúúsù ti àwọn ará Keni.”
11 David didn't leave anybody alive that could come to Gath because he thought, “They might tell on us and say, ‘David did this.’” This is what he did all the time he lived in the country of the Philistines.
Dafidi kò sì dá ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin sí láààyè, láti mú ìròyìn wá sí Gati, wí pé, “Ki wọn máa bá à sọ ọ̀rọ̀ wa níbẹ̀, pé, ‘Báyìí ni Dafidi ṣe,’” àti bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìṣe rẹ̀, yóò sì rí ni gbogbo ọjọ́ ti yóò fi jókòó ni ìlú àwọn Filistini.
12 Achish trusted David, and said to himself, “He's made himself so offensive to his people the Israelites that he'll have to serve me forever.”
Akiṣi sì gba ti Dafidi gbọ́, wí pé, “Òun ti mú kí Israẹli àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ kórìíra rẹ̀ pátápátá, yóò si jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ mi títí láé.”
