1 Azɔ la, Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ kpe ta ɖe Afek eye Israelviwo ƒe aʋakɔ ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe vudoawo gbɔ le Yezreel.
And they gathered [the] Philistines all armies their Aphek towards and Israel [were] encamped at the spring which [is] in Jezreel.
2 Esime Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋakplɔlawo nɔ woƒe aʋalɔgowo kplɔm va yina la, David kple eƒe amewo nɔ wo megbe kple Fia Akis.
And [the] rulers of [the] Philistines [were] passing along to hundreds and to thousands and David and men his [were] passing along at the last with Achish.
3 Filistitɔwo ƒe aʋakplɔlawo bia be, “Nu ka wɔm Israelviwo le le afi sia?” Fia Akis gblɔ na wo be, “Ame siae nye David, Israel fia Saul ƒe subɔla ame si si le egbɔ. Ƒe aɖewo nye esi wòle gbɔnye eye nyemekpɔ vodada aɖeke le eŋu kpɔ tso esime wòva gbɔnye o.”
And they said [the] commanders of [the] Philistines what? [are] the Hebrews these and he said Achish to [the] commanders of [the] Philistines ¿ not [is] this David [the] servant of - Saul [the] king of Israel who he has been with me this days or this years and not I have found in him anything from [the] day fell he until the day this.
4 Ke Filistitɔwo ƒe kplɔlawo do dɔmedzoe eye wogblɔ be, “Na woatrɔ adzo, womele aʋa yi ge kpli mí o. Woava trɔ le mía yome. Mɔ nyui aɖe li si dzi wòato awɔ ɖeka kple eƒe aƒetɔ, Saul, wu tɔtrɔ ɖe mía ŋu le aʋa la mea?
And they were angry towards him [the] commanders of [the] Philistines and they said to him [the] commanders of [the] Philistines send back the man so may he return to place his where you assigned him there and not he will go down with us in the battle and not he will become of us an adversary in the battle and how? will he make himself acceptable this one to master his ¿ not by [the] heads of the men those.
5 Ame sia ŋue nyɔnuwo dzi ha le, le woƒe ɣeɖuɖuwo me be, “Saul wu akpe eye David wu akpewo!”
¿ Not [is] this David whom people sing of him in dances saying he has struck down Saul thousands his and David (ten thousands his. *Q(K)*)
6 Ale Fia Akis yɔ David kple eƒe amewo eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Metsɔ Yehowa ka atam be miawoe nye ame nyuitɔ siwo medo goe kpɔ eye mebu be miayi aʋa kpli mí ke nye aʋafiawo melɔ̃ ɖe edzi o.
And he summoned Achish David and he said to him [by] [the] life of Yahweh for [are] upright you and [is] good in view my going out you and coming in you with me in the camp for not I have found in you evil from [the] day coming in you to me until the day this and in [the] eyes of the rulers not [are] good you.
7 Meɖe kuku, migawɔ nu si ado dɔmedzoe na wo o, ke boŋ mitrɔ dzo kpoo!”
And therefore turn back and go in peace and not you will do evil in [the] eyes of [the] rulers of [the] Philistines.
8 David bia Akis be, “Nu ka mewɔ eye nu ka nèkpɔ le wò dɔla ŋu tso gbesigbe meva gbɔwò va se ɖe egbe, si na be miawɔm ale? Nu ka ta nyemekpɔ mɔ aɖawɔ aʋa kple nye aƒetɔ ƒe futɔwo o?”
And he said David to Achish for what? have I done and what? have you found in servant your from [the] day when I was before you until the day this that not I will go and I will fight against [the] enemies of lord my the king.
9 Akis metrɔ eƒe tameɖoɖo o. Egagblɔ be, “Le nye ɖeka gome la, èle abe mawudɔla ene, ke nye aʋafiawo le vɔvɔ̃m na wò kpekpe ɖe mía ŋu le aʋawɔwɔ me.
And he answered Achish and he said to David I know that [are] good you in view my like an angel of God nevertheless [the] commanders of [the] Philistines they have said not he will go up with us in battle.
10 Mifɔ ŋdi kanya eye miadzo ne agu dze ko.”
And therefore rise early in the morning and [the] servants of master your who they have come with you and you will rise early in the morning and it will be light for you and go.
11 Ale David kple eƒe amewo fɔ ŋdi kanya be yewoatrɔ ayi Filistitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi eye Filistitɔwo hã dzo yi Yezreel.
And he rose early David he and men his to go in the morning to return to [the] land of [the] Philistines and [the] Philistines they went up Jezreel.
