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.”
Hagi anante Deviti'a amanage huno agesa antahi'ne, Mago'a knafi Soli'a nahegahianki'na Filistia vahe kumate'ma fre'na vanuana, nagra knare hu'na umanigahue huno antahine. E'ina hanena Solina avesra hinkeno, nagrikura mago'ane ohakrena knare hu'na umanigahue.
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].
Huno nentahino Deviti'a agranema vanoma nehaza 600'a sondia vahe'ene, Gati kini ne' Maoka nemofo Akisi'ene umani'naku rugitagi'za vu'naze.
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.
Hagi Deviti'a agranema vano nehaza vene'nene a'mofavre'zaminena zamavareno Gati mopare Akisi'ene umani'naze. Hagi Deviti'a tare atrema'ane vu'neankino, mago'mofo agi'a Ahinomukino, agra Jezreri kumateti a' mani'ne. Hagi mago'mofo agi'a Abigeli'e. Ana ara Kameri kumateti Nebali kento a'ma eri'nea a'e'ne zanavreno vu'ne.
4 When someone told Saul that David had run away [and was living] in Gath, he stopped searching for David.
Hagi Deviti'ma Gati moparega vu'nea nanekema Solima eme asamizageno nentahino'a, Devitina ahenakura mago'anena rotagoa osu'ne.
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.”
Hagi mago zupa Deviti'a amanage huno Akisina asmi'ne, Kagrama nagri'ma kavesi nante'nunka, mago osi kumaka'a namige'na anampi naga'ninena umani'neno. Eri'za vahekamo'na kini ne'moka rankumapina omanigahue.
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.
Huno higeno, ana knazupa Akisi'a Ziglak kuma ami'ne. (E'inagafare Ziglak kumamo'a Juda vahe kinimofo kuma meno menina ama knarera ehanati'ne.)
7 David [and his men] lived in the Philistia area for 16 months.
Hagi Deviti'a Filistia mopafina mago kafugi 4'a ika mani'ne.
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.
Ana huteno Deviti'ene sondia vahe'amo'za vu'za, Gesuri vahe'ma Kirzeti vahe'ma Ameleki vahe'enena hara ome hu'naze. Ana vahera za'za kna e'i ana mopafina mani'naza vaheki'za, ana mopazmimofo agema'amo'a Suriti vuno Isipi tva'onte ome atre'ne.
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.
Hagi Deviti'ma ha'ma ome hunezmanteno'a, maka venenene a'nenena zamahehna nehuno, sipisipi afuma, bulimakao afu'ma, donki afu'ma, kemori afuma kukenanena e'nerino ete kini ne' Akisima mani'nerega e'ne.
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.
Hagi Akisi'a antahigeno, Kagra menina iga hara ome nehane? Higeno'a Deviti'a amanage huno kenona'a hu'ne, Juda vahe'ene Negevi mopamofo mago asoparega hara ome huge, mago kaziga asoparega Jerami vahe'ene hara ome huge, mago kaziga asoparega Kenaiti vahe'ene hara ome huge nehue.
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.
Hagi Deviti'a ha'ma ome nehuno'a, magore huno vene'nene a'nenena ozmatreno zamahe fri vagare'ne. Agrama agesama antahiana, mago vahe'ma atresugeno'a, Deviti'a vahera ahe fri vagare'ne huno Gati kumate vahera ome asamigahaze huno agesa antahine. Hagi Deviti'a Filistiama mani'nea knafina, e'inahu'za huvava huno vu'ne.
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.”
Hagi Akisi'ma agesama antahiana Deviti'a tamage nehie nehuno, amanage huno antahi'ne, Agra'a naga Israeli vahe hara ome hunezamante huno agesa antahi'ne. Hagi meninteti'ma vaniana nagri eri'za vahe manino vugahie huno antahi'ne.
