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 gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites camped by the spring which is in Jezreel.

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.

The lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rear 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 the leaders of the Philistines said, "What about these Hebrews?" And Achish said to the leaders of the Philistines, "Isn't this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault in him since he defected to 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?

But the leaders of the Philistines were angry with him, and said to him, "Send that man back to the place where you have assigned him, and he must not go down with us to battle, or in the battle he may become an adversary. For how could this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Should it not be with 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 about whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, 'Saul has 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 Achish called David, and said to him, "As Jehovah lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, the lords do not favor you.

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

Therefore now return, and go in peace, that you not displease 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?”

David said to Achish, "But what have I done? What have you found in your servant so long as I have been before you to this day, that I may not go and 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.'

Then Achish answered David, "I know that you are good in my sight. However, the leaders of the Philistines have said, 'He must 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.”

So get up early in the morning, you and the servants of your lord who have come with you, and go to the place which I allotted to you. As for evil remarks, take none to heart; for you are good in my sight. And as soon as you are up early in the morning, and have light, depart."

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

So David and his men got up early to return to the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
