1 Samuel 27
1 And David saith unto his heart, 'Now am I consumed one day by the hand of Saul; there is nothing for me better than that I diligently escape unto the land of the Philistines, and Saul hath been despairing of me — of seeking me any more in all the border of Israel, and I have escaped out of his hand.'
Daawit garuu akkana jedhee yaade; “Guyyoota kanneen keessaa gaafa tokko ani harka Saaʼoliin nan ajjeefama. Wanni ani gochuu qabu guddaan gara biyya Filisxeemotaatti baqachuu dha. Ergasiis Saaʼol guutummaa biyya Israaʼel keessa na barbaaduu ni dhiisa; anis harka isaa jalaa nan baʼa.”
2 And David riseth, and passeth over, he and six hundred men who [are] with him, unto Achish son of Maoch king of Gath;
Kanaafuu Daawit namoota dhibba jaʼaan isa wajjin turan wajjin kaʼee Aakiish mooticha Gaati, ilma Maaʼooki bira dhaqe.
3 and David dwelleth with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each one with his household, [even] David and his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelitess.
Daawitii fi namoonni isaa Gaati keessa Aakiish bira turan. Tokkoon tokkoon namaas maatii isaa wajjin ture; Daawitis niitota isaa lamaan jechuunis Ahiinooʼam kan lammii Yizriʼeelii fi Abiigayiil lammii Qarmeloos kan niitii Naabaal turte sana wajjin ture.
4 And it is declared to Saul that David hath fled to Gath, and he hath not added any more to seek him.
Saaʼolis yommuu akka Daawit gara Gaatitti baqate dhagaʼetti isa barbaaduu dhiise.
5 And David saith unto Achish, 'If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, they give to me a place in one of the cities of the field, and I dwell there, yea, why doth thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?'
Daawitis Aakiishiin, “Yoo ani fuula kee duratti surraa argadhee jiraadhe, akka ani achi jiraadhuuf magaalaawwan biyyattii keessaa magaalaa tokko keessatti iddoon naaf haa kennamu. Garbichi kee maaliif si wajjin magaalaa mootii keessa jiraata?” jedhe.
6 And Achish giveth to him in that day Ziklag, therefore hath Ziklag been to the kings of Judah till this day.
Akkasiin Aakiish gaafuma sana Siiqlaagin isaaf kenne; magaalattiinis gaafasii jalqabdee kan mootota Yihuudaa taate.
7 And the number of the days which David hath dwelt in the field of the Philistines [is] days and four months;
Daawitis waggaa tokkoo fi jiʼa afur biyya Filisxeemotaa jiraate.
8 and David goeth up and his men, and they push unto the Geshurite, and the Gerizite, and the Amalekite, (for they are inhabitants of the land from of old), as thou comest in to Shur and unto the land of Egypt,
Yeroo sanattis Daawitii fi namoonni isaa kaʼanii Geshuurota, Girzootaa fi Amaaleqoota weeraran. Namoonni kunneen bara duriitii jalqabanii biyya Shuuri kan hamma Gibxitti balʼatu keessa jiraachaa turan.
9 and David hath smitten the land, and doth not keep alive man and woman, and hath taken sheep, and oxen, and asses, and camels, and garments, and turneth back, and cometh in unto Achish.
Daawit yeroo biyya sana lole hunda dhiira yookaan dubartii tokko illee lubbuun hin hambifne; garuu hoolotaa fi loon, harrootaa fi gaalawwan akkasumas uffata fudhatee gara Aakiishitti deebiʼe.
10 And Achish saith, 'Whither have ye pushed to-day?' and David saith, 'Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelite, and unto the south of the Kenite.'
Yeroo Aakiish, “Harʼa eenyun weerartan?” jedhee gaafatetti, Daawit, “Negeeb Yihuudaa” yookaan “Negeeb Yeramiʼeelotaa” yookaan “Negeeb Qeenotaa” jedhe.
11 Neither man nor woman doth David keep alive, to bring in [word] to Gath, saying, 'Lest they declare [it] against us, saying, Thus hath David done, and thus [is] his custom all the days that he hath dwelt in the fields of the Philistines.'
Daawitis, “Waan isaan, ‘Wanni Daawit godhe kana dha’ jedhanii nurratti odeessan” jedhee yaadeef akka dhiirri yookaan dubartiin tokko iyyuu Gaatitti geeffamaniif lubbuun hin hambifne. Wanni inni yeroo biyya Filisxeem keessa jiraate hunda hojjetes kanuma ture.
12 And Achish believeth in David, saying, 'He hath made himself utterly abhorred among his people, in Israel, and hath been to me for a servant age-during.'
Aakiishis waan, “Inni saba isaa Israaʼel biratti jibbamaa of godheera; kanaafuu bara baraan garbicha koo taʼa” jedhee yaadeef Daawitin ni amane.
