1 David yi Nɔb dua me be yeakpɔ Abimelek, nunɔla la. Ke esi Ahimelek kpɔe la vɔvɔ̃ ɖoe eye wòbiae be, “Nu ka ta wò ɖeka nèva? Nu ka ta ame aɖeke mele ŋuwò o?”
Naʻe toki hoko ai ʻa Tevita ki Nopi ʻo ne ʻalu kia ʻAhimeleki ko e taulaʻeiki: pea manavahē ʻa ʻAhimeleki ʻi he fetaulaki mo Tevita, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke tokotaha ai, pea ʻikai ha tangata ʻiate koe?”
2 David da alakpa na Ahimelek be, “Fia la de dɔ ɣaɣlɛ aɖe asi nam. Egblɔ nam be magana ame aɖeke nanya nu si ta meva afi sia o. Mefia teƒe si nye amewo ado gom le emegbe la wo.
Pea pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻAhimeleki ko e taulaʻeiki; “Kuo tuku mai ʻe he tuʻi ha ngāue kiate au,” ʻo ne pehē kiate au, “Ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ʻe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻae ngāue ko ia ʻaia ʻoku ou fekauʻi ai koe, mo ia kuo u fekau kiate koe: pea kuo u fekauʻi ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ki he ngaahi potu ko ʻena.
3 Nuɖuɖu aɖe le asiwòa? Na abolo atɔ̃ alo nu bubu ɖe sia ɖe si nàte ŋui lam.”
Pea ko ʻena ko e hā ʻoku ʻi ho lalo nima? Tuku mai ki hoku nima ha foʻi mā ʻe nima, pe ha meʻa pe ʻoku ke maʻu.”
4 Nunɔla la ɖo eŋu be, “Abolo dzodzro ya ƒe ɖeke meli o; abolo kɔkɔe koe li. Mexɔe se be miate ŋu aɖui ne wò ɖekakpuiwo medɔ kple nyɔnuwo le ŋkeke siawo me o ko.”
Pea talaange ʻe he taulaʻeiki kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ha mā ngofua ʻi hoku nima, ka ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mā tapu; ʻo kapau pe kuo taʻofi ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau talavou mei he kau fefine.”
5 David do eŋu be, “Meka ɖe edzi na wò elabena nyemeɖea mɔ na nye ɖekakpuiwo be woade ha kple nyɔnuwo ne míezɔ mɔ o. Ne wole kɔkɔe ne míezɔ mɔ dzodzrowo la, ekema eme kɔ ƒãa be woanɔ kɔkɔe esi míeva dɔ tɔxɛ sia gbe!”
Pea naʻe leaange ʻa Tevita ki he taulaʻeiki, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni kuo taʻofi ʻae kau fefine meiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho nai ʻe tolu, talu ʻeku haʻu kituaʻā, pea ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻae kau talavou, pea ʻoku hangē ʻoku ngofua ʻae mā, ʻio, he kuo fakatapui he ʻaho ni ʻae mā ʻi he ʻaiʻanga.”
6 Ale, esi nuɖuɖu bubu aɖeke meganɔ anyi o ta la, nunɔla la tsɔ abolo kɔkɔe, Ŋkumeɖobolo, si wotsɔ da ɖe Yehowa ŋkume le agbadɔ la me nɛ. Gbe ma gbe kee wotsɔ abolo yeye ɖɔlii.
Ko ia naʻe ʻatu ai kiate ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae mā tapu: he naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha mā, ka ko e mā pe ʻoe ʻao, ʻaia naʻe toʻo mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke ʻai ki ai ʻae mā mafana ʻi he ʻaho ʻaia naʻe toʻo ʻo ʻave ai ia.
7 Eva eme be wosika Doeg, Edomtɔ, ame si nye Saul ƒe lãkplɔlawo ƒe amegã la ɖe Yehowa ŋkume le afi ma le ɣeyiɣi ma me.
Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻi he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Saula, naʻe moʻua ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ko Toeki hono hingoa, ko e tangata ʻItomi, ko e tuʻukimuʻa ia ʻoe kau tauhimanu lalahi ʻa Saula.
8 David bia Ahimelek ne akplɔ alo yi aɖe le esi si ŋu dɔ yeate ŋu awɔ. Eɖe eme nɛ be, “Ele be matsɔ dzo ɖe fia ƒe dɔ la ŋu eye mawɔe kaba ale gbegbe be nyemete ŋu tsɔ aʋawɔnu aɖeke ɖe asi o!”
Pea pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻAhimeleki, “Pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ho nima ni ha tao pē ha heletā? He ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻomi ʻeku heletā pe ko ʻeku mahafutau, he ko e ngāue ʻae tuʻi naʻe fai fakatoʻotoʻo.”
9 Nunɔla la ɖo eŋu be, “Goliat, Filistitɔ si nèwu le Ela balime la ƒe yi le asinye. Woblae ɖe avɔ aɖe me le awuwo dzraɖoƒe le kɔmewu la megbe. Ne èlɔ̃ la, àte ŋu atsɔe elabena aʋawɔnu bubu aɖeke megale afi sia o.” David ɖo eŋu be, “Eya tututu dim mele; tsɔe nam!”
Pea pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki, “Ko e heletā ʻa Kolaiate ko e tangata Filisitia, ʻaia naʻa ke tāmateʻi ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Ila, Vakai ʻoku tuku tākai ʻae kofu ʻi he tuʻa ʻefoti kapau ko ho loto ke ʻave ia, ʻave ia he ʻoku ʻikai ha taha kehe ka ko ia pe ʻi heni.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “ʻOku ʻikai hano tatau mo ia; tuku mai ia.”
10 David ɖe abla dzo elabena enɔ vɔvɔ̃m na Saul eye wòyi Fia Akis gbɔ le Gat.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo hola ʻi heʻene manavahē kia Saula, pea ʻalu ia kia ʻAkisi ko e tuʻi ʻo Kati.
11 Ke David ƒe afi ma nɔnɔ medzɔ dzi na Akis ƒe aʋakplɔlawo o. Wobia be, “Menye eyae nye Israel ƒe kplɔla gã la oa? Menye eya ŋue ameawo dea bubui le woƒe ɣeɖuƒewo henɔa ha dzim bena, “‘Saul wu akpe eye David wu akpewo’ oa?”
Pea pehē ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻAkisi kiate ia, “ʻIkai ko Tevita eni ko e tuʻi ʻoe fonua? ʻIkai naʻa nau hiva fetaliʻaki kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻe, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo tāmateʻi ʻe Saula ʻene ngaahi toko afe, mo Tevita ʻene ngaahi toko mano?’
12 David se nya siawo eye wòvɔ̃ nu si Gat fia Akis ate ŋu awɔe.
Pea naʻe faʻo ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi lea ni ki hono loto, pea naʻe manavahē lahi ia kia ʻAkisi ko e tuʻi ʻo Kati.
13 Ale wòwɔ eɖokui abe tsukunɔ ene! Ete fli ɖe ʋɔtruwo ŋu eye wòna ade do tso eƒe nu me hetsyɔ ɖe eƒe ge me.
Pea naʻa ne fakakehe ʻene anga ʻi honau ʻao ʻo ne fai ʻo hangē kuo vale ia honau nima, pea ne ne vaku ki he matapā ʻoe hūʻanga fale, pea naʻa ne tuku ke tafe hono fāvai ki hono fakapau.
14 Fia Akis gblɔ na eƒe subɔlawo be, “Mikpɔ ame sia ɖa! Ele tsu kum! Nu ka tae miekplɔe vɛ nam ɖo?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAkisi ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Vakai, ʻoku mou mamata ʻoku fakavalevale ʻae tangata; pea ko e hā ia kuo mou ʻomi ai ia kiate au?
15 Tsukunɔ ƒe koe si le wɔyem tae miekplɔ ame sia vɛ be woava anɔ nu siawo ƒomevi wɔm le nye ŋkutaa? Ɖe wòdze be miakplɔ ame sia ƒomevi va nye aƒe mea?”
