1 Samuel 29
1 And they gathered [the] Philistines all armies their Aphek towards and Israel [were] encamped at the spring which [is] in Jezreel.
Wafilisti wakakusanya majeshi yao yote huko Afeki, nao Waisraeli wakapiga kambi karibu na chemchemi iliyoko Yezreeli.
2 And [the] rulers of [the] Philistines [were] passing along to hundreds and to thousands and David and men his [were] passing along at the last with Achish.
Watawala wa Wafilisti walipokuwa wakipita pamoja na vikosi vyao vya mamia na vya maelfu, Daudi na watu wake walikuwa wakitembea huko nyuma pamoja na Akishi.
3 And they said [the] commanders of [the] Philistines what? [are] the Hebrews these and he said Achish to [the] commanders of [the] Philistines ¿ not [is] this David [the] servant of - Saul [the] king of Israel who he has been with me this days or this years and not I have found in him anything from [the] day fell he until the day this.
Majemadari wa Wafilisti wakauliza, “Vipi kuhusu hawa Waebrania?” Akishi akajibu, “Huyu si Daudi, aliyekuwa afisa wa Sauli mfalme wa Israeli? Ameshakuwa pamoja nami kwa zaidi ya mwaka, naye tangu alipomwacha Sauli hadi sasa, sikuona kosa lolote kwake.”
4 And they were angry towards him [the] commanders of [the] Philistines and they said to him [the] commanders of [the] Philistines send back the man so may he return to place his where you assigned him there and not he will go down with us in the battle and not he will become of us an adversary in the battle and how? will he make himself acceptable this one to master his ¿ not by [the] heads of the men those.
Lakini majemadari wa Wafilisti wakamkasirikia na kusema, “Mrudishe mtu huyu, apate kurudi mahali pale ulipompangia. Haimpasi kufuatana pamoja nasi vitani, asije akageuka, akawa kinyume chetu vitani. Ni kwa njia ipi bora zaidi angeweza kujipatia tena kibali kwa bwana wake, isipokuwa kwa vichwa vya watu wetu wenyewe?
5 ¿ Not [is] this David whom people sing of him in dances saying he has struck down Saul thousands his and David (ten thousands his. *Q(K)*)
Je, huyu si ndiye Daudi walioimba kumhusu katika ngoma zao, wakisema: “‘Sauli amewaua elfu zake, naye Daudi makumi elfu yake’?”
6 And he summoned Achish David and he said to him [by] [the] life of Yahweh for [are] upright you and [is] good in view my going out you and coming in you with me in the camp for not I have found in you evil from [the] day coming in you to me until the day this and in [the] eyes of the rulers not [are] good you.
Basi Akishi akamwita Daudi na kumwambia, “Kama vile Bwana aishivyo, wewe umekuwa mtu mwaminifu, nami ningependa utumike pamoja nami katika jeshi. Tangu siku ile uliyofika kwangu hadi sasa, sijaona kosa lolote kwako, lakini hao watawala hawakukubali.
7 And therefore turn back and go in peace and not you will do evil in [the] eyes of [the] rulers of [the] Philistines.
Rudi na uende kwa amani; usifanye chochote cha kuwakasirisha watawala wa Kifilisti.”
8 And he said David to Achish for what? have I done and what? have you found in servant your from [the] day when I was before you until the day this that not I will go and I will fight against [the] enemies of lord my the king.
Daudi akamuuliza Akishi, “Lakini mimi nimefanya nini? Je, umeona nini kibaya juu ya mtumishi wako tangu siku ile niliyokuja kwako hadi leo? Kwa nini nisirudi na kupigana na adui za bwana wangu mfalme?”
9 And he answered Achish and he said to David I know that [are] good you in view my like an angel of God nevertheless [the] commanders of [the] Philistines they have said not he will go up with us in battle.
Akishi akamjibu Daudi, “Mimi ninajua ya kuwa wewe umekuwa wa kupendeza machoni pangu kama vile malaika wa Mungu. Lakini hao majemadari wa Wafilisti wamesema, ‘Huyu haimpasi kwenda vitani pamoja nasi.’
10 And therefore rise early in the morning and [the] servants of master your who they have come with you and you will rise early in the morning and it will be light for you and go.
Sasa amka mapema, pamoja na watumishi wa bwana wako waliofuatana nawe, nanyi ondokeni asubuhi mara kutakapopambazuka.”
11 And he rose early David he and men his to go in the morning to return to [the] land of [the] Philistines and [the] Philistines they went up Jezreel.
Hivyo Daudi na watu wake wakaamka asubuhi na mapema, wakaenda zao kurudi katika nchi ya Wafilisti, nao Wafilisti wakapanda kwenda Yezreeli.
