1 Samuele 27
1 Davidi akanisaki mpe amilobelaki: « Mokolo ezali oyo Saulo akoboma ngai na nzela ya loboko na ye. Boye eleki malamu mpo na ngai kokima na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia. Na bongo nde Saulo akotika koluka ngai kati na Isalaele mobimba, mpe ngai nakokima loboko na ye. »
And David said in his heart, Now shall I be one day delivered [for death] into the hands of Saul; and there is no good thing for me unless I should escape into the land of the Philistines, and Saul should cease from seeking me through every coast of Israel: so I shall escape out of his hand.
2 Bongo Davidi elongo na bato nkama motoba oyo bazalaki elongo na ye batelemaki mpe bakendeki epai ya Akishi, mwana mobali ya Maoki, mokonzi ya Gati.
So David arose, and the six hundred men that were with him, and he went to Anchus, son Ammach, king of Geth.
3 Davidi mpe bato na ye bavandaki na Gati epai ya Akishi: mobali nyonso azalaki na libota na ye, mpe Davidi azalaki na basi na ye mibale: Ayinoami, moto ya Jizireyeli, mpe Abigayili oyo azalaki liboso mwasi ya Nabali, moto ya Karimeli.
And David lived with Anchus, he and his men, each with his family; and David and both his wives, Achinaam, the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
4 Tango bayebisaki Saulo ete Davidi akimi na Gati, atikaki koluka ye.
And it was told Saul that David had fled to Geth; and he no longer sought after him.
5 Davidi alobaki na Akishi: « Soki nazwi ngolu na miso na yo, tika ete bapesa ngai esika epai wapi nakoki kovanda kati na moko ya bingumba ya mokili. Mpo na nini mosali na yo avanda na mboka mokonzi elongo na yo? »
And David said to Anchus, If now your servant has found grace in your eyes, let them give me, I pray you, a place in one of the cities in the country, and I will dwell there: for why does your servant dwell with you in a royal city?
6 Na mokolo wana, Akishi apesaki ye engumba ya Tsikilagi. Yango wana Tsikilagi ekoma kino na mokolo ya lelo engumba ya bakonzi ya Yuda.
And he gave him Sekelac in that day: therefore Sekelac came into possession of the king of Judea to this day.
7 Davidi awumelaki na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia mobu moko mpe sanza minei.
And the number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was four months.
8 Na tango wana, Davidi mpe bato na ye bazalaki kobundisa bato ya Geshuri, ya Girizi mpe ya Amaleki; pamba te wuta kala, bato ya bikolo yango bazalaki kovanda na mokili longwa na Shuri kino na Ejipito.
And David and his men went up, and made an attack on all the Gesirites and on the Amalekites: and behold, the land was inhabited, (even the land from Gelampsur) by those who come from the fortified [cities] even to the land of Egypt.
9 Tango nyonso Davidi azalaki kobundisa mboka moko, azalaki kotika te na bomoi ezala mobali to mwasi. Nzokande azalaki kobotola bameme, bangombe, ba-ane, bashamo mpe bilamba. Bongo azalaki kozonga epai ya Akishi.
And he struck the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive; and they took flocks, and herds, and asses, and camels, and raiment; and they returned and came to Anchus.
10 Tango Akishi atunaki: — Bobundi wapi lelo? Davidi azongisaki: — Tobundi na sude ya Yuda, na sude ya mokili ya bato ya Yerameeli, mpe na sude ya mokili ya bato ya Keni.
And Anchus said to David, On whom have you made an attack today? And David said to Anchus, On the south of Judea, and on the south of Jesmega, and on the south of the Kenezite.
11 Davidi azalaki kotika te ete bamema na Gati, ezala mobali to mwasi, noki te bapanza sango na ye na maloba oyo: « Tala makambo oyo Davidi asalaki. » Davidi azalaki kosala kaka bongo, tango nyonso oyo avandaki na mboka ya bato ya Filisitia.
And I have not saved man or woman alive to bring them to Geth, saying, Lest they carry a report to Geth against us, saying, These things David does. And this was his manner all the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines.
12 Akishi atielaki Davidi motema mpe alobaki: « Lokola Davidi amiyinisi na miso ya Isalaele, bato na ye, akozala mosali na ngai mpo na libela. »
So David had the full confidence of Anchus, who said, He is thoroughly disgraced among his people in Israel and he shall be my servant for ever.
