1 Samuel 27
1 And David said, unto his own heart, Now, shall I be swept off, in a single day, by the hand of Saul, —there is nothing for me better than that I, escape, into the land of the Philistines, so shall Saul give up seeking for me any more, in any of the bounds of Israel, so shall I escape out of his hand.
Devid chere nʼime onwe ya sị, “Otu ụbọchị Sọl ga-enweta m, bibie m. Ihe ka mma m ga-eme bụ ịgbaga nʼala ndị Filistia. Nke a ga-eme ka Sọl kwụsị ịchọgharị m ebe ọbụla nʼIzrel. Aga m esikwa otu a, nwere onwe m site nʼaka ya.”
2 And David arose, and he and the six hundred men that were with him passed over, unto Achish son of Maoch, king of Gath.
Ya mere, Devid na narị ndị ikom isii ya, na ezinaụlọ ha, biliri jekwuru Akish nwa Maok, eze ndị Gat.
3 And David abode with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each man with his household, —David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal, the Carmelite.
Devid na ndị agha ya sooro Akish biri na Gat. Onye ọbụla du ezinaụlọ ya. Devid nʼonwe ya du ndị inyom abụọ ya: Ahinoam onye Jezril, na Abigel onye Kamel, nwunye ochie Nebal.
4 And, when it was told Saul, that David had fled to Gath, he added no more, to seek him.
Ọ dịghị anya, Sọl nụrụ na Devid agbalaala Gat, nʼihi ya ọ kwụsịrị ịchụso ya.
5 Then said David unto Achish—If, I pray thee, 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?
Devid gwara Akish sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na m anatala amara nʼebe ị nọ, ọ ga-adị mma ka enye m otu obodo nʼime obodo nke ala a, ka m biri. Nʼihi gịnị ka ohu gị ga-eji soro gị biri nʼobodo eze?”
6 So Achish gave him, on that day, Ziklag, —wherefore Ziklag hath pertained unto the kings of Judah, unto this day.
Akish nyere ya Ziklag, nʼihi ya, Ziklag bụ obodo ndị eze Juda ruo taa.
7 And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines became a year and four months.
Devid biri nʼoke ala ndị Filistia otu afọ na ọnwa anọ.
8 And David and his men went up, and made a raid against the Geshurites and the Gizrites and the Amalekites, —for, they, were the inhabitants of the land who had been from age-past times, as thou enterest Shur, even as far as the land of Egypt.
Devid na ndị ikom ya nọgidere oge ahụ niile na-emegide ndị Geshua, ndị Gizi na ndị Amalek. (Site na mgbe ochie ndị a bi nʼala ahụ gbatịrị ruo Shua na Ijipt)
9 Now, when David would smite a land, he used to save alive neither man nor woman, —but took sheep and oxen, and asses and camels, and apparel, and returned, and came in unto Achish.
Mgbe ọbụla Devid wakporo akụkụ ọbụla, ọ dịghị ahapụ nwoke maọbụ nwanyị ndụ. Ma ọ na-akpụrụ atụrụ ha, na ehi ha, na ịnyịnya ibu ha, na ịnyịnya kamel ha, nakwa uwe ha. Emesịa, ọ na-alọghachikwuru Akish.
10 Then said Achish, Whither have ye made a raid, to-day? And David said—Against the South of Judah, or against the South of the Jerahmeelites, or as far as the South of the Kenites.
Ọ bụrụ na Akish ajụọ Devid ajụjụ sị, “Ndị ole ka unu busoro agha taa?” Devid ga-aza sị, “Ọ bụ ndị bi na ndịda Juda”, maọbụ “ndị ndịda Jerahmel”, maọbụ “ndị ndịda Ken.”
11 But, neither man nor woman, used David to save alive, to bring into Gath, for he said, Lest they tell of us, saying, —So, hath David done, and, such, his manner, all the days that he hath dwelt in the country of the Philistines.
Ma ọ dịghị nwoke maọbụ nwanyị onye ọ hapụrụ ndụ, nke a ga-akpọta na Gat, nʼihi na o chere nʼobi ya sị, “Ha nwere ike ịbịa kwuo megide anyị, sị, ‘Otu a ka Devid mere.’” Otu a ka ọ na-emekwa ọtụtụ oge ahụ niile o bi nʼetiti ndị Filistia.
12 And Achish believed in David, saying, —He hath made himself, odious, unto his own people, unto Israel, therefore shall he be my servant all his life long.
Akish kwenyere Devid, kwuo nʼobi ya sị, “Devid abụrụla ihe a kpọrọ asị nʼebe ndị nke ya bụ ndị Izrel nọ. Ọ ga-abụkwara m ohu ruo mgbe niile.”
