1 Samuel 27
1 But David thought, “Some day Saul will capture me [if I stay around here]. So the best thing that I can do is to escape and go to the Philistia area. If I do that, Saul will stop searching for me here in Israel, and I will be safe.”
Kinuna ni David iti nakemna, “Addanto ti aldaw a matayak babaen iti ima ni Saul; awan ti kasayaatan nga aramidek no di ti aglibas a mapan idiay daga dagiti Filisteo; Isardengton ni Saul ti panangbirbirokna kaniak iti amin a beddeng ti Israel; iti kastoy a wagas, makalibasak manipud iti imana.”
2 So David and his 600 men left Israel and went to see Maoch’s son Achish, who was king of Gath [city in the Philistia area].
Nagrubwat ni David ket nagdaliasatda, isuna ken dagiti innem a gasut a lallaki a kaduana, a nagturong kenni Akis nga anak ni Maoc, nga ari ti Gat.
3 David and his men and their families started to live there in Gath, the city where king Achish lived. David’s two wives were with him—Ahinoam from Jezreel, and Nabal’s widow Abigail, from Carmel.
Nakipagnaed ni David kenni Akis idiay Gat, isuna ken dagiti tattaona, amin al lallaki agraman ti sangkabalayanna, ket kadua ni David ti dua nga asawana a ni Ahinoam a taga-Jezreel, ken ni Abigail a taga-Carmel nga asawa ni Nabal.
4 When someone told Saul that David had run away [and was living] in Gath, he stopped searching for David.
Naipadamag kenni Saul a naglibas ni David a nagturong idiay Gat, isu a saannan a binirok isuna.
5 [One day] David said to Achish, “If you are pleased with us, give us a place in one of the small villages where we can stay. There is no need [RHQ] for us to stay in the city where you are the king.”
Kinuna ni David kenni Akis, “No nasayaatak iti panagkitam, ikkandak koma iti maysa a lugar iti maysa kadagiti siudad iti pagilian, a mabalinko a pagnaedan: ta apay koma a makipagnaed ti adipenmo iti siudad ti ari?
6 [Achish liked what David suggested]. So that day Achish gave to David Ziklag [town]. As a result, Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah since that time.
Isu nga iti dayta nga aldaw, inted ni Akis kenkuana ti Siklag; dayta ti makagapu a ti Siglak ket kukua dagiti ari ti Juda agingga kadagitoy a tiempo.
7 David [and his men] lived in the Philistia area for 16 months.
Maysa a tawen ken uppat a bulan a nagnaed ni David iti daga dagiti Filisteo.
8 [During that time] David and his men raided the people who lived [in the areas] where the Geshur, Girzi, and Amalek people-groups lived. Those people had lived there a long time. That area extended [south] from Telam to the Shur [Desert] and to [the border of] Egypt.
Rinaut ni David ken dagiti tattaona dagiti nadumaduma a luglugar, rinautna dagiti tattao a taga-Gesur, Girzi ken Amalec; ta dagitoy dagiti agnanaed iti daga, agturong idiay Shur, agingga iti daga ti Egipto. Agnanaedda sadiay iti nabayag unayen a tiempo.
9 Whenever David’s men attacked them, they killed all the men and women, and they took all the people’s sheep and cattle and donkeys and camels, and even their clothes. Then they would bring those things back home, [and David would go to talk] to Achish.
Rinaut ni David ti daga ket awan a pulos ti imbatina a lalaki wenno babai a sibibiag; innalana dagiti karnero, dagiti baka, dagiti asno, dagiti kamelio, ken dagiti pagan-anay; kalpasan daytoy agawid isuna ket dumagas iti ayan ni Akis.
10 Each time Achish would ask David, “Where did you go raiding today?” David [would lie to him]. Sometimes he would reply that they had gone to the southern part of Judah, and sometimes he would say that they had gone to Jerahmeel, or to the area where the Ken people-group lived.
Saludsoden ni Akis, “Siasino ti rinautmo ita nga aldaw?” Isungbat ni David, “Rinautko ti abagatan a paset ti Juda,” wenno “Ti abagatan a masakupan iti tribu ti Jerameel,” wenno “Ti abagatan a paset dagiti Kineo.”
11 David’s men never brought back to Gath any man or woman who was left alive. David thought, “If [we do not kill everyone, some of] them [who are still alive] will go and tell Achish [the truth] about what we really did.” David did that all the time that he [and his men] lived in the Philistia area.
Awan ti sibibiag nga ibatbati ni David nga uray maysa a lalaki wenno babai a mangidanon kadagitoy idiay Gat, a kunana, “Tapno saanda nga ibaga ti maipapan kadatayo, 'Kastoy ti aramid ni David.”' Dastoy ti masansan nga ar-aramidenna iti panagnaedna iti pagilian dagiti Filisteo.
12 So Achish believed [what] David [told him], and said to himself, “[Because of what David has done, ] his own people, the Israelis, must now hate him very much. So he will have to [stay here and] serve me forever.”
Namati ni Akis kenni David, a kunana, “Pinagurana iti kasta unay dagiti tattaona nga Israelita kenkuana; isu nga agbalinto isuna nga adipenko iti agnanayon.”
