< I Samuel 27 >
1 Kinuna ni David iti nakemna, “Addanto ti aldaw a matayak babaen iti ima ni Saul; awan ti kasayaatan nga aramidek no di ti aglibas a mapan idiay daga dagiti Filisteo; Isardengton ni Saul ti panangbirbirokna kaniak iti amin a beddeng ti Israel; iti kastoy a wagas, makalibasak manipud iti imana.”
David said in his heart, "I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me except that I escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel. So shall I escape out of his hand."
2 Nagrubwat ni David ket nagdaliasatda, isuna ken dagiti innem a gasut a lallaki a kaduana, a nagturong kenni Akis nga anak ni Maoc, nga ari ti Gat.
David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3 Nakipagnaed ni David kenni Akis idiay Gat, isuna ken dagiti tattaona, amin al lallaki agraman ti sangkabalayanna, ket kadua ni David ti dua nga asawana a ni Ahinoam a taga-Jezreel, ken ni Abigail a taga-Carmel nga asawa ni Nabal.
So David lived with Achish, he and his men, along with his men and their families, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, Nabal's widow.
4 Naipadamag kenni Saul a naglibas ni David a nagturong idiay Gat, isu a saannan a binirok isuna.
Now it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.
5 Kinuna ni David kenni Akis, “No nasayaatak iti panagkitam, ikkandak koma iti maysa a lugar iti maysa kadagiti siudad iti pagilian, a mabalinko a pagnaedan: ta apay koma a makipagnaed ti adipenmo iti siudad ti ari?
David said to Achish, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?"
6 Isu nga iti dayta nga aldaw, inted ni Akis kenkuana ti Siklag; dayta ti makagapu a ti Siglak ket kukua dagiti ari ti Juda agingga kadagitoy a tiempo.
So he gave him Ziklag that day. (For that reason Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.)
7 Maysa a tawen ken uppat a bulan a nagnaed ni David iti daga dagiti Filisteo.
The number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
8 Rinaut ni David ken dagiti tattaona dagiti nadumaduma a luglugar, rinautna dagiti tattao a taga-Gesur, Girzi ken Amalec; ta dagitoy dagiti agnanaed iti daga, agturong idiay Shur, agingga iti daga ti Egipto. Agnanaedda sadiay iti nabayag unayen a tiempo.
Now David and his men went up, and made a raid on the Geshurites, and the Amalekites. And look, the land was inhabited from Telem, until you come to Shur, and on toward Egypt.
9 Rinaut ni David ti daga ket awan a pulos ti imbatina a lalaki wenno babai a sibibiag; innalana dagiti karnero, dagiti baka, dagiti asno, dagiti kamelio, ken dagiti pagan-anay; kalpasan daytoy agawid isuna ket dumagas iti ayan ni Akis.
David struck the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the cattle, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the clothing; and he returned, and came to Achish.
10 Saludsoden ni Akis, “Siasino ti rinautmo ita nga aldaw?” Isungbat ni David, “Rinautko ti abagatan a paset ti Juda,” wenno “Ti abagatan a masakupan iti tribu ti Jerameel,” wenno “Ti abagatan a paset dagiti Kineo.”
Achish said, "Against whom have you made a raid today?" David would say, "Against the Negev of Judah," or "Against the Negev of Jerahmeel," or "Against the Negev of the Kenizzites."
11 Awan ti sibibiag nga ibatbati ni David nga uray maysa a lalaki wenno babai a mangidanon kadagitoy idiay Gat, a kunana, “Tapno saanda nga ibaga ti maipapan kadatayo, 'Kastoy ti aramid ni David.”' Dastoy ti masansan nga ar-aramidenna iti panagnaedna iti pagilian dagiti Filisteo.
And neither man nor woman would he leave alive to be brought to Gath, thinking, "Otherwise they will tell about us, saying, 'This is what David did,'" and this has been his practice all the time he lived in the country of the Philistines.
12 Namati ni Akis kenni David, a kunana, “Pinagurana iti kasta unay dagiti tattaona nga Israelita kenkuana; isu nga agbalinto isuna nga adipenko iti agnanayon.”
Achish believed David, saying, "He has made his people Israel utterly to abhor him. Therefore he shall be my servant forever."
