1 Samuel 27
1 And David said in his heart, Now I may yet perish suddenly one day by the hand of Saul; there is nothing better for me than that I should escape at once into the land of the Philistines, then Saul will abstain from me, to seek me any more in all the territory of Israel: and so shall I escape out of his hand.
A I iho la o Davida iloko o kona naau, e make auanei au i ka lima o Saula i kekahi la: e aho e holo koke au ma ka aina o ko Pilisetia; alaila aole manao o Saula e imi hou mai ia'u ma na wahi a pau o ka Iseraela: pela e pakele ai au i kona lima.
2 And David arose, and he passed over himself with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Ma'och, the king of Gath.
Ku ae la o Davida, a hele aku la me na kanaka eono haneri me ia io Akisa la, ke keiki a Maoka, ke alii o Gata.
3 And David remained with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, also David with his two wives, Achino'am the Yizre'elitess, and Abigayil, Nabal's wife, the Carmelitess.
A noho iho la o Davida me Akisa ma Gata, oia a me kona poe kanaka, o kela kanaka keia kanaka me kona ohua, o Davida me kana mau wahine, o Ahinoama no Iezereela, a o Abigaila no Karemela, ka wahine a Nabala.
4 And when it was told unto Saul that David was fled to Gath, he continued no more to seek for him.
A haiia mai la ia Saula, ua holo o Davida ma Gata: aole ia i imi hou aku ia ia.
5 And David said unto Achish, If now I have found grace in thy eyes, let them give me a place in some one of the country-towns, that I may dwell there; for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?
Olelo aku la o Davida ia Akisa, Ina paha i alohaia mai au i kou maka, e haawi mai oe ia'u i wahi ma kekahi kulanakauhale ma ke kula i noho ai au malaila: no ke aha la o noho ai au me oe ma ke kulanakauhale alii?
6 Then gave Achish unto him on that day Ziklag: therefore hath Ziklag pertained unto the kings of Judah until this day.
A haawi aku la o Akisa ia Zikelaga nona ia la: no ia mea, lilo aku la o Zikelaga no na'lii o ka Iuda a hiki i keia la.
7 And the number of the days that David dwelt in the fields of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
A o na la o ko Davida noho ana ma ka aina o ko Pilisetia, hookahi ia makahiki a me na malama keu eha.
8 And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gizrites, and the 'Amalekites; for these nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, till thou comest to Shur, and as far as the land of Egypt.
Hele aku la o Davida me kona poe kanaka, a kaua aku la i ko Gesura, a me ko Gerezi, a me ka Amaleka: no ka mea, he poe kamaaina kahiko lakou o ka aina, kahi e hele aku ai i Sura, a hiki loa i ka aina o Aigupita.
9 And David smote the land, and left not alive either man or woman, and took away the flocks, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.
A luku aku la o Davida i ka aina, aole i koe kekahi kanaka, aole hoi kekahi wahine e ola ana, a lawe ae la ia i na hipa, a me na bipi, a me na hoki, a me na kamelo, me ka lole, a hoi aku la a hiki io Akisa la.
10 And Achish said, Whither have ye made an inroad today? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Yerachmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.
I mai la o Akisa, Mahea kahi a oukou i hao ai i keia la? I aku la o Davida, ma ka aoao hema o ka Iuda, a ma ka aoao hema o ka Ierahemeeli, a ma ka aoao hema o ko Keni.
11 And David left not alive either man or woman, to bring [them] to Gath, saying, That they may not tell on us, saying, So hath David done, and so is his custom all the days he hath dwelt in the fields of the Philistines.
Aole i hoopakele o Davida i kekahi kanaka, aole hoi i kekahi wahine e ola ana e hele ma Gata e olelo, o hai aku lakou no makou, i ka i ana'e, Pela o Davida i hana'i, a pela hoi kana e hana aku ai i na manawa a pau o kona noho ana ma ka aina o na Pilisetia.
12 And Achish had confidence in David, saying, He hath surely spoiled his odor among his people, among Israel; and he will become unto me a servant for ever.
Manao aku la o Akisa i ka Davida, ua oiaio, i iho la, Ua hoolilo oia ia ia iho i mea hoowahawaha loa ia e kona poe kanaka, e ka Iseraela, a e lilo ia i kauwa na'u i ka manawa mau loa.
