< 1 Samuel 29 >

1 Now the Philistines collected all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by a fountain which [is] in Jezreel.
Ndị Filistia chịkọtara ndị agha ha bịaruo Afek, ma ndị agha Izrel zukọtara nʼakụkụ isi iyi Jezril.
2 And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rear with Achish.
Mgbe ndịisi agha ndị Filistia malitere ịgafesị ha na ndị agha ha, ụfọdụ nʼime ha du ọtụtụ narị ndị agha, ụfọdụ, ọtụtụ puku ndị agha, Devid na ndị agha ya so nʼazụ, ha na Akish, eze ndị Filistia.
3 Then said the princes of the Philistines, What [do] these Hebrews [here]? And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, [Is] not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell [to me] to this day?
Ndịisi agha ndị Filistia jụrụ eze Akish ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị ka ndị Hibru ndị a na-eme nʼebe a?” Akish gwara ha sị, “Onye a ọ bụghị Devid, onyeozi si nʼaka Sọl eze ndị Izrel gbapụ? Mụ na ya ebiela ihe karịrị otu afọ, ma achọpụtaghị ihe ọbụla dị njọ nʼebe ọ nọ, site nʼụbọchị ahụ ọ hapụrụ Sọl ruo ugbu a.”
4 And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, Make this man return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he should be an adversary to us: for with what would he reconcile himself to his master? [would it] not [be] with the heads of these men?
Ma ndịisi agha ndị Filistia were iwe megide ya. Ha sịrị ya, “Zilaga nwoke a, ka ọ laghachi nʼọnọdụ ozi ebe i mere ya onye nlekọta. Anyị na ha agaghị eso jee nʼihu ọgụ, ma ọ bụghị ya ọ ga-atụgharịa megide anyị nʼagha. Olee ụzọ ọzọ ọ ga-esi mee ka ya na nna ya ukwu dị na mma ma ọ bụghị site nʼigbu ndị agha anyị ndị a?”
5 [Is] not this David, of whom they sung one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
Onye a ọ bụghị Devid ahụ ndị inyom Izrel ji gụọ egwu sị, “‘Sọl egbuola ọtụtụ puku ndị iro ya, ma Devid egbuola iri puku kwụrụ puku ndị iro’?”
6 Then Achish called David, and said to him, Surely, [as] the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host [is] good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee from the day of thy coming to me to this day: nevertheless the lords favor thee not.
Ya mere, Akish kpọrọ Devid sị ya, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, ị bụ onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi. Ọ gaara atọ m ụtọ ka ị soro m buo agha. Site na mgbe ị bịakwutere m tutu ruo ugbu a, o nweghị mmejọ ọbụla m chọpụtara nʼime gị. Ma ndịisi anyị anabataghị gị.
7 Therefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.
Ugbu a, laghachinụ azụ, laa nʼudo. Unu emeela ihe ọbụla ga-akpasu ndịisi ndị Filistia iwe.”
8 And David said to Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant, so long as I have been with thee to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king.
Devid jụrụ Akish, “Ma gịnị ka m mere? Gịnịkwa ka ị hụtara megide ohu gị site nʼụbọchị m bịakwutere gị ruo taa? Gịnị ga-eme ka m ghara ịlụso ndị iro onyenwe m, bụ eze agha?”
9 And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou [art] good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding, the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.
Akish zaghachiri, “Ama m nʼonye dị mma ka ị bụ nʼanya m, dịka mmụọ ozi nke Chineke. Nʼagbanyeghị nke a, ọchịagha ndị Filistia asịla, ‘Ọ gaghị eso anyị jee nʼagha.’
10 Wherefore now rise early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye shall have risen early in the morning, and have light, depart.
Ya mere, bilie nʼisi ụtụtụ, gị na ndị ọrụ onyenwe gị ndị soro gị bịa, bilienụ nʼisi ụtụtụ laghachi mgbe ìhè dịrị unu.”
11 So David and his men rose early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
Devid na ndị ikom na-eso ya biliri nʼisi ụtụtụ ịlaghachi nʼala ndị Filistia. Ma ndị agha ndị Filistia gara nʼihu jeruo Jezril.
