1 Samuel 29
1 Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites camped by the spring which is in Jezreel.
Afilisti anasonkhanitsa asilikali awo onse ku Afeki, ndipo Israeli anamanga misasa yawo pa chitsime cha Yezireeli.
2 The lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rear with Achish.
Pamene atsogoleri a Afilisti ankatsogolera magulu awo ankhondo a miyandamiyanda, Davide ndi ankhondo ake ankayenda pambuyo pamodzi ndi Akisi.
3 Then the leaders of the Philistines said, "What about these Hebrews?" And Achish said to the leaders of the Philistines, "Isn't this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault in him since he defected to me until this day?"
Tsono atsogoleri a Afilisti aja anafunsa kuti, “Kodi Ahebri awa akufuna chiyani?” Akisi anayankha kuti, “Uyu ndi Davide, mtumiki wa Sauli mfumu ya Israeli. Iye wakhala ndi ine kwa masiku ndithu, kapena titi zaka ndipo kuyambira tsiku limene anachoka kwa Sauli mpaka lero, ine sindinapeze cholakwa mwa iye.”
4 But the leaders of the Philistines were angry with him, and said to him, "Send that man back to the place where you have assigned him, and he must not go down with us to battle, or in the battle he may become an adversary. For how could this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Should it not be with the heads of these men?
Koma atsogoleri a ankhondo a Afilisti anamukwiyira Akisi kwambiri ndipo anati, “Mubweze munthuyu kuti abwerere ku malo amene unamupatsa. Iye asapite nafe ku nkhondo kuopa kuti angadzasanduke mdani wathu. Kodi iyeyu adzadziyanjanitsa bwanji ndi mbuye wake? Iyeyutu adzadziyanjanitsa ndi mbuye wake pakupha anthu ali panowa?
5 Is not this David about whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?'"
Paja ameneyu ndi Davide yemwe ankamuvinira namuyimbira kuti, “‘Sauli wapha anthu 1,000 koma Davide wapha miyandamiyanda?’”
6 Then Achish called David, and said to him, "As the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, the lords do not favor you.
Kotero Akisi anayitana Davide ndipo anamuwuza kuti, “Pali Yehova wamoyo, iwe wakhala wodalirika ndipo chikanakhala chinthu chabwino kuti uzimenya nkhondo pamodzi nane popeza chibwerere iwe kuno ine sindinapeze cholakwa chilichonse ndi iwe. Koma atsogoleri enawa ndiwo sakukufuna.
7 Therefore now return, and go in peace, that you not displease the lords of the Philistines."
Tsono bwerera. Upite mu mtendere kuopa kuti ungachite kanthu kena koyipira atsogoleri a Afilistiwa.”
8 David said to Achish, "But what have I done? What have you found in your servant so long as I have been before you to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"
Davide anafunsa Akisi kuti, “Kodi ndachita chiyani? Kodi mwapeza cholakwa chotani mwa ine mtumiki wanu chiyambire kukutumikirani mpaka lero? Tsono chifukwa chiyani sindingapite kukamenya nkhondo ndi adani a mbuye wanga mfumu?”
9 Then Achish answered David, "I know that you are good in my sight. However, the leaders of the Philistines have said, 'He must not go up with us to the battle.'
Akisi anayankha kuti, “Ine ndikudziwa kuti ndiwe wangwiro ngati mngelo wa Mulungu. Komabe atsogoleri a ankhondo a Afilisti akuti, ‘Davide asapite nafe ku nkhondo.’
10 So get up early in the morning, you and the servants of your lord who have come with you, and go to the place which I allotted to you. As for evil remarks, take none to heart; for you are good in my sight. And as soon as you are up early in the morning, and have light, depart."
Tsono udzuke mmamawa, pamodzi ndi ankhondo ako amene unabwera nawo, ndipo unyamuke kukangocha.”
11 So David and his men got up early to return to the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
Choncho Davide ndi anthu ake anadzuka mmamawa kubwerera ku dziko la Afilisti. Koma Afilistiwo anapita ku Yezireeli.
