< 1 Samuel 27 >

1 And David said in his heart: 'I shall now be swept away one day by the hand of Saul; there is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel; so shall I escape out of his hand.'
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 And David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men that were with him, unto Achish the son of Maoch, 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 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
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 And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath; and he sought no more again for him.
A sì sọ fún Saulu pé, Dafidi sálọ si Gati, òun kò sì tún wá á kiri mọ́.
5 And David said unto Achish: 'If now I have found favour in thine eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there; for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?'
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 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day; wherefore Ziklag belongeth unto the kings of Judah unto 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 And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
Iye ọjọ́ tí Dafidi fi jókòó ní ìlú àwọn Filistini sì jẹ́ ọdún kan àti oṣù mẹ́rin.
8 And David and his men went up, and made a raid upon the Geshurites, and the Gizrites, and the Amalekites; for those were the inhabitants of the land, who were of old, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.
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 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 he returned, and came 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 And Achish said: 'Whither have ye 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.'
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 And David left neither man nor woman alive, to bring them to Gath, saying: 'Lest they should tell on us, saying: So did David, and so hath been his manner all the while he hath dwelt 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 And Achish believed David, saying: 'He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.'
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.”
