1 Samuel 29
1 And the Philistines gather all their camps to Aphek, and Israel is encamping at a fountain which [is] in Jezreel,
Na rĩrĩ, Afilisti magĩcokanĩrĩria mbũtũ ciao cia ita kũu Afeku, nao Isiraeli makĩamba hema hakuhĩ na gĩthima kĩrĩa kĩarĩ kũu Jezireeli.
2 and the princes of the Philistines are passing on by hundreds, and by thousands, and David and his men are passing on in the rear with Achish.
Na rĩrĩa aathani a Afilisti maahĩtũkaga na ikundi ciao cia magana na cia ngiri, Daudi na andũ ake maathiiaga marĩ thuutha hamwe na Akishi.
3 And the heads of the Philistines say, “What [are] these Hebrews?” And Achish says to the heads of the Philistines, “Is this not David, servant of Saul king of Israel, who has been with me these days or these years, and I have not found anything in him [wrong] from the day of his falling away until this day?”
Anene acio a ita rĩa Afilisti makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ atĩa ũhoro wa Ahibirania aya?” Akishi agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ũyũ ti Daudi, ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wa Saũlũ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli? Akoretwo arĩ hamwe na niĩ makĩria ma mwaka ũmwe na kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa oimire gwa Saũlũ, nginyagia ũmũthĩ, ndirĩ ndamuona na ihĩtia.”
4 And the heads of the Philistines are angry against him, and the heads of the Philistines say to him, “Send back the man, and he turns back to his place to where you have appointed him, and does not go down with us into battle, and is not for an adversary to us in battle; and with what does this one reconcile himself to his lord—is it not with the heads of those men?
No anene a mbũtũ cia ita cia Afilisti makĩmũrakarĩra, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ĩra mũndũ ũyũ ahũndũke nĩguo acooke handũ harĩa wamũheire. Ndegũthiĩ hamwe na ithuĩ mbaara-inĩ ndakae gũtũgarũrũka rĩrĩa tũrarũa. Nĩ ũndũ ũngĩ ũrĩkũ mũndũ ũyũ angĩĩka maiguithanie na mwathi wake, tiga kũũraga andũ aitũ?
5 Is this not David, of whom they answer in choruses, saying, Saul has struck among his thousands, and David among his myriads?”
Githĩ ũyũ ti Daudi ũrĩa mainĩire nyĩmbo-inĩ ciao ũũ: “‘Saũlũ nĩeyũragĩire andũ ngiri nyingĩ, nake Daudi akooraga ngiri makũmi maingĩ’?”
6 And Achish calls to David and says to him, “YHWH lives, surely you [are] upright, and good in my eyes is your going out, and your coming in with me in the camp, for I have not found evil in you from the day of your coming to me until this day; but you are not good in the eyes of the princes;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Akishi agĩĩta Daudi, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, nĩũkoretwo ũrĩ mwĩhokeku, na no njigue wega tũgĩtungata hamwe nawe ita-inĩ. Kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa wokire kũrĩ niĩ nginya rĩu, ndirĩ ndoona ihĩtia rĩaku, no anene aya a mbũtũ cia ita matingĩgwĩtĩkĩra.
7 and now, return, and go in peace, and you do no evil in the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.”
Hũndũka ũthiĩ na thayũ; ndũgeeke ũndũ ũngĩrakaria anene a Afilisti.”
8 And David says to Achish, “But what have I done? And what have you found in your servant from the day that I have been before you until this day—that I do not go in and have fought against the enemies of my lord the king?”
Daudi akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ atĩa njĩkĩte? Nĩ atĩa wonete mũũru na ndungata yaku kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ndookire kũrĩ we nginya rĩu? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩkũgiria thiĩ ngarũe na thũ cia mũthamaki, mwathi wakwa?”
9 And Achish answers and says to David, “I have known that you [are] good in my eyes as a messenger of God; only, the princes of the Philistines have said, He does not go up with us into battle;
Akishi akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ ũkoretwo ũrĩ mwega maitho-inĩ makwa ta mũraika wa Ngai; no rĩrĩ, anene a mbũtũ cia ita rĩa Afilisti moigĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Ũcio ndangĩĩtĩkĩrio atwarane na ithuĩ kũu mbaara-inĩ.’
10 and now, rise early in the morning—and the servants of your lord who have come with you. When you have risen early in the morning, and have light, then go.”
Rĩu rooka gũũkĩra rũciinĩ tene, hamwe na ndungata cia mwathi waku iria mũũkĩte nacio, na muume gũkũ rũciinĩ gũgĩthererũka.”
11 And David rises early, he and his men, to go in the morning, to return to the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines have gone up to Jezreel.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi na andũ ake makĩrooka gũũkĩra rũciinĩ tene nĩguo macooke bũrũri-inĩ wa Afilisti, nao Afilisti makĩambata magĩthiĩ Jezireeli.
