Sie Samuel 29
1 Mwet Philistia elos pangoneni mwet mweun lalos nukewa nu Aphek, ac mwet Israel elos tulokinya nien aktuktuk lalos sisken unon in kof se ke Infahlfal Jezreel.
Then all the troops of the Philistines were gathered together at Aphek. But Israel also made camp, above the spring which is in Jezreel.
2 Tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia elos takla fahsr wi kais siofok ac kais tausin mwet mweun lalos. David ac mwet lal elos welul Tokosra Achish fahsr tok.
And indeed, the princes of the Philistines advanced by hundreds and by thousands; but David and his men were in the rear with Achish.
3 Na captain lun un mwet mweun Philistia elos liyalos ac siyuk, “Mea mwet Hebrew inge oru uh?” Tokosra Achish el topuk, “David pa inge. El sie mwet pwapa lun un mwet mweun lal Saul, tokosra lun mwet Israel. El muta yuruk paht kutu, ac wanginna ma nga liye el oru koluk, ke len se el tuku wiyula nwe inge.”
And the leaders of the Philistines said to Achish, “What do these Hebrews intend to do?” And Achish said to the leaders of the Philistines: “Could you be ignorant about David, who was the servant of Saul, the king of Israel, and who has been with me for many days, even years, and I have not found within him anything, from the day that he fled to me, even to this day?”
4 Tusruktu captain lun mwet Philistia inge elos mulat sel Tokosra Achish, ac fahk nu sel, “Folokunla mwet se ingan nu ke siti se ma kom sang lal ah. Nimet fuhlela elan wi kut mweun. Sahp el ac tuh forma lain kut ke mweun uh. Mea wo mwet se inge el ku in oru in akwoyalla nu sin leum lal sayen mwet lasr inge in misa?
Then the leaders of the Philistines became angry against him, and they said to him: “Let this man return, and let him settle in his place, which you appointed for him. But let him not descend with us to battle, lest he become an adversary to us when we begin to fight. For in what other way will he be able to please his lord, except with our heads?
5 Esam lah David pa inge, mwet se na ma mutan uh onkakin ac onsrosro kac ac fahk, ‘Saul el uniya tausin, a David el uniya ngoul tausin.’”
Is not this the David, about whom they were singing, while dancing, saying: ‘Saul struck down his thousands, but David his ten thousands?’”
6 Na Tokosra Achish el pangnolma David ac fahk nu sel, “Nga fulahk ye mutun God moul lun Israel lah kom arulana pwaye nu sik, ac nga arulana insewowo tuh kom in wiyu som mweun inge. Nga soenna konauk kutena ma sufal in kom, e ke na len se ma kom tuku nu yuruk ah nwe misenge. Tusruktu, tokosra wiuk inge elos alolo sum.
Therefore, Achish called David, and he said to him: “As the Lord lives, you are good and righteous in my sight, even in your departure and your return with me in the military camp. And I have not found anything evil in you, from the day that you came to me, even to this day. But you are not pleasing to the princes.
7 Tari, kom folokla nu in acn sum in misla, ac nimet oru kutena ma in aktoasryalos.”
Therefore, return, and go in peace, so that you do not offend the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.”
8 David el topuk, “Leum luk, ku mea nga oru sufal? Fin pwaye lah kom soenna konauk kutena ma sufal yuruk ke nga mutawauk in kulansupwekom nwe misenge, oana ma kom fahk inge, na efu ku nga kofla in wi mweuni mwet lokoalok lom, lah kom pa leum luk ac tokosra luk?”
And David said to Achish, “But what have I done, or what have you found in me, your servant, from the day that I was in your sight to this day, so that I may not go out and fight against the enemies of my lord, the king?”
9 Tokosra Achish el topuk, “Aok, pwaye sum. Nga akilen mu suwohs lom oana suwohs lun sie lipufan lun God. Tusruktu, tokosra wiuk inge elos fahk tari mu kom tia ku in wi kut mweun.
And in response, Achish said to David: “I know that you are good in my sight, like an angel of God. But the leaders of the Philistines have said: ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’
10 Na pa lututang kowos nukewa su tuku lukel Saul nu yuruk, kowos toang tukakek ac folokla nu yen suwos ke tufahna kalmelik.”
And so, rise up in the morning, you and the servants of your lord who came with you. And when you have risen up in the night, as it begins to be light, go forth.”
11 Ouinge David ac mwet lal elos toang tukakek ke lotu tok ah, ac folok nu yen selos in acn Philistia, ac mwet Philistia elos fahlana nu Jezreel.
And so David rose up in the night, he and his men, so that they might set out in the morning. And they returned to the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines ascended to Jezreel.
