I Samuel 29

1 Ita, inummong dagiti Filisteo ti armadada idiay Afec; nagkampo dagiti Israelita iti igid ti ubbog nga adda idiay Jezreel.

Now the Philistines assembled together all their camps at Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by the spring which is by Yizre'el.

2 Immuna a nagmartsa dagiti prinsipe dagiti Filisteo a ginasutgasut ken riniburibu; simmaruno da David ken dagiti tattaona a nagmartsa iti malikudan dagiti mangbanbantay kenni Akis.

And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; but David and his men passed on at the last with Achish.

3 Kalpasanna, kinuna dagiti prinsipe dagiti Filisteo, “Ania ti ar-aramiden dagiti Hebreo ditoy?” Kinuna ni Akis kadagiti dadduma a prinsipe dagiti Filisteo, “Daytoy a David nga adipen ni Saul nga ari ti Israel, a nakadkaduak agingga kadagitoy nga aldaw wenno agingga pay kadagitoy a tawtawen, ket awan masarakak a biddut kenkuana sipud pay immay.”

Then said the princes of the Philistines, What are these Hebrews to do? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Behold, this is David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me already a year, or even years, and I have not found the least in him [to blame] from the day of his joining [me] until this day?

4 Ngem nakaunget dagiti prinsipe dagiti Filisteo kenkuana; kinunada kenkuana, “Papanawem dayta a tao, tapno agsubli iti lugarna nga intedmo kenkuana; saanmo nga itulok a kumuyog kadatayo iti paggugubatan, tapno saan nga agbalin a kabusortayo iti paggugubatan. Ta kasano koma a makikapia daytoy a tao iti apona? Saan kadi a babaen iti panangpapatayna kadagiti tattaotayo?

And the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Cause this man to go back, that he may return to his place whither thou hast assigned him; but he shall not go down with us to the battle, that he may not become an adversary to us in the battle; for wherewith could this person reconcile himself unto his master? is it not by means of the heads of these men?

5 Saan kadi a daytoy ti David a kankantaanda iti panagsalsalada, a kunkunada: 'Rinibu ti pinatay ni Saul ngem sangapulo a ribu kenni David?”'

Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in the dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

6 Inayaban ngarud ni Akis ni David ket kinunana kenkuana, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, ammok a naimbagka, ket ti iyuumay ken ikukuyogmo kaniak iti armada ket nasayaat iti panagkitak; ta awan ti nasarakak a biddut kenka manipud iti aldaw nga immayka kaniak agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw. Nupay kasta, saan nga umanamong kenka dagiti prinsipe.

Then did Achish call David, and say unto him, As the Lord liveth, [I declare] that thou art upright, and that thy going out and thy coming in with me in the camp is good in my eyes; for I have not found in thee any evil from the day of thy coming unto me until this day; nevertheless in the eyes of the lords thou art not good.

7 Isu nga ita agsublika ket mapanka a sitatalna tapno saanmo a mapagpungtot dagiti prinsipe dagiti Filisteo.

And now return, and go in peace, that thou mayest not do any evil in the eyes of the lords of the Philistines.

8 Kinuna ni David kenni Akis, “Ngem ania kadi ti naaramidko? Ania ti nasarakam iti adipenmo sipud idi agingga ita nga aldaw, tapno saan a mabalin a makikuyogak a mapan makiranget kadagiti kabusor ti apok nga ari?”

And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant from the day that I have been before thee, until this day, that I shall not go to fight against the enemies of my Lord the king?

9 Simmungbat ni Akis ket kinunana kenni David, “Ammok nga awan ti pakapilawam iti imatangko a kas iti anghel ti Dios; nupay kasta, kinuna dagiti prinsipe dagiti Filisteo, 'Saan a mabalin a makikuyog isuna kadatayo a mapan makigubat.'

And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my eyes, as an angel of God; nevertheless, the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.

10 Isu nga ita, masapaka a bumangon inton bigat agraman dagiti adipen ti apom a simmurot kenka; apaman a makarubbuatkayo inton bigat, pumanawkayon.”

And now rise up early in the morning with the servants of thy master that are come with thee: and rise then up early in the morning, and when ye have light, go away.

11 Isu a ni David, ken dagiti tattaona, nasapa a nagrubbuat tapno makasublida iti daga dagiti Filisteo. Ngem simmang-at dagiti Filisteo idiay Jezreel.

And David and his men rose up early to go away in the morning, to return unto the land of the Philistines; but the Philistines went up to Yizre'el.
