1 Samuel 27
1 And he said David to heart his now I will be swept away a day one by [the] hand of Saul not [belongs] to me good for really I will escape - to [the] land of [the] Philistines and he will desist from me Saul to seek me again in all [the] territory of Israel and I will be delivered from hand his.
Na Dawid dwen ho se, “Da bi, mɛtɔ wɔ Saulo nsa ano. Na nea mɛyɛ a eye pa ara ne sɛ, meguan akɔ Filistifo nkyɛn. Ɛba saa a, Saulo begyae mʼakyidi na menya bammɔ.”
2 And he arose David and he passed over he and six hundred man who [were] with him to Achish [the] son of Maoch [the] king of Gath.
Na Dawid ne mmarima ahansia tutu kɔtenaa Gat kɔhyɛɛ Maok babarima ɔhene Akis ase.
3 And he dwelt David with Achish in Gath he and men his each one and household his David and [the] two wives his Ahinoam the Jezreelite [woman] and Abigail [the] wife of Nabal the Carmelite [woman].
Na Dawid de ne yerenom baanu a wɔyɛ Ahinoam a ofi Yesreel ne Abigail a ofi Karmel a na ɔyɛ Nabal kunabea no kɔe.
4 And it was told to Saul that he had fled David Gath and not (he repeated *Q(K)*) again to seek him.
Saulo tee sɛ Dawid aguan kɔ Gat no, wanni nʼakyi anhwehwɛ no bio.
5 And he said David to Achish if please I have found favor in view your let people give to me a place in one of [the] cities of the field so I may dwell there and why? will he dwell servant your in [the] city of royalty with you.
Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Akis se, “Sɛ ɛrenhaw wo a, ma yɛn baabi wɔ nkurow no bi so na yɛnkɔtena hɔ sen sɛ yɛbɛtena ahenkurow yi mu.”
6 And he gave to him Achish on the day that Ziklag therefore it has belonged Ziklag to [the] kings of Judah until the day this.
Enti Akis de Siklag kurow maa no, (na efi saa da no, ɛhɔ abɛyɛ Yuda ahemfo atenae de besi nnɛ),
7 And it was [the] number of the days which he dwelt David in [the] region of [the] Philistines days and four months.
na wɔtenaa Filistifo no mu afe ne asram anan.
8 And he went up David and men his and they made raids against the Geshurite[s] (and the Gizrite[s] *Q(K)*) and the Amalekite[s] for they [were] dwelling the land which [is] from antiquity coming you Shur towards and to [the] land of Egypt.
Afei, Dawid ne ne dɔm kɔtow hyɛɛ Gesurfo, Girsifo ne Amalekfo so. Saa nnipa yi na na kan no, wɔtete asase a ɛtrɛw kɔ Sur a ɛwɔ Misraim kwan so no.
9 And he struck David the land and not he let live a man and a woman and he took sheep and cattle and donkeys and camels and clothes and he returned and he went to Achish.
Dawid annyaw onipa baako anikann wɔ nkuraa a ɔkɔtow hyɛɛ wɔn so no mu. Ɔfaa nguan, anantwi, mfurum, yoma ne ntade nyinaa ansa na ɔresan akɔ Akis nkyɛn.
10 And he said Achish against [where] did you make a raid this day and he said David on [the] Negev of Judah and on [the] Negev of the Jerahmeelite[s] and against [the] Negev of the Kenite[s].
Akis bisaa Dawid se, “Ɛhe na nnɛ mofom nneɛma kodui?” Dawid buae se, “Yɛkɔɔ Yuda anafo fam kɔtow hyɛɛ Yerahmeelfo ne Kenifo so.”
11 And a man and a woman not he let live David to bring Gath saying lest they should tell on us saying thus he has done David and [is] thus practice his all the days which he has dwelt in [the] region of [the] Philistines.
Dawid kum wɔn nyinaa. Wannyaw obiara a obetumi aba Gat abɛkyerɛ faako a ɔkɔe. Saa ade yi kɔɔ so ara wɔ bere a na Dawid te Filistifo mu no.
12 And he trusted Achish in David saying certainly he has become odious among people his among Israel and he will become of me a servant of perpetuity.
Akis gyee Dawid dii, na ɔkaa wɔ ne tirim se, “Saa bere yi de, Israelfo bekyi no kɔkɔɔkɔ, na ɛbɛma no atena ha, na wasom me afebɔɔ.”
