1 Dawudi n’afumiitiriza mu mutima gwe ng’agamba nti, “Luliba lumu Sawulo n’anzita. Ekisinga obulungi kwe kuddukira mu nsi y’Abafirisuuti. Awo nno Sawulo anaalekeraawo okunnoonyeza mu Isirayiri, era bwe ntyo bwe nzija okumuwona.”
And he said David to heart his now I will be swept away a day one by [the] hand of Saul not [belongs] to me good for really I will escape - to [the] land of [the] Philistines and he will desist from me Saul to seek me again in all [the] territory of Israel and I will be delivered from hand his.
2 Awo Dawudi n’abasajja lukaaga ne basitula ne bagenda eri kabaka Akisi mutabani wa Mawoki ow’e Gaasi.
And he arose David and he passed over he and six hundred man who [were] with him to Achish [the] son of Maoch [the] king of Gath.
3 Dawudi n’abasajja be ne basenga mu Gaasi ewa Akisi, buli musajja ne nnyumba ye yonna, ne Dawudi n’abakyala be bombi, Akinoamu Omuyezuleeri ne Abbigayiri Omukalumeeri, nnamwandu wa Nabali.
And he dwelt David with Achish in Gath he and men his each one and household his David and [the] two wives his Ahinoam the Jezreelite [woman] and Abigail [the] wife of Nabal the Carmelite [woman].
4 Awo Sawulo bwe yategeezebwa nga Dawudi yaddukira e Gaasi n’alekeraawo okumunoonya.
And it was told to Saul that he had fled David Gath and not (he repeated *Q(K)*) again to seek him.
5 Awo Dawudi n’agamba Akisi nti, “Obanga ndabye ekisa mu maaso go, wabeewo ekifo ekiba kimpebwa mu kimu ku bibuga ebitonotono, ntuule eyo. Lwaki omuweereza wo abeera naawe mu kibuga ekikulu eky’obwakabaka?”
And he said David to Achish if please I have found favor in view your let people give to me a place in one of [the] cities of the field so I may dwell there and why? will he dwell servant your in [the] city of royalty with you.
6 Awo ku lunaku olwo, Akisi n’amuwa Zikulagi, era kyekyava kibeera ekibuga kya bakabaka ba Yuda, n’okutuusa leero.
And he gave to him Achish on the day that Ziklag therefore it has belonged Ziklag to [the] kings of Judah until the day this.
7 Dawudi n’abeera mu nsi ey’Abafirisuuti okumala omwaka gumu n’emyezi ena.
And it was [the] number of the days which he dwelt David in [the] region of [the] Philistines days and four months.
8 Mu bbanga eryo, Dawudi n’abasajja be ne bambuka ne balumba Abagesuli, n’Abagiruzi, n’Abamaleki. Okuva edda n’edda abo be bantu abaabeeranga mu nsi eyo okuva e Suuli okutuuka e Misiri.
And he went up David and men his and they made raids against the Geshurite[s] (and the Gizrite[s] *Q(K)*) and the Amalekite[s] for they [were] dwelling the land which [is] from antiquity coming you Shur towards and to [the] land of Egypt.
9 Dawudi buli lwe yalumbanga ekitundu, teyalekangawo musajja newaakubadde omukazi, naye yatwalanga endiga, n’ente, endogoyi n’eŋŋamira, n’engoye; n’oluvannyuma n’addayo eri Akisi.
And he struck David the land and not he let live a man and a woman and he took sheep and cattle and donkeys and camels and clothes and he returned and he went to Achish.
10 Awo Akisi yamubuuzanga nti, “Leero walumbye wa?” Dawudi yaddangamu nti, “Ebukiikaddyo obwa Yuda,” oba nti, “Ebukiikaddyo obw’Abayerameeri,” oba nti, “Ebukiikaddyo obw’Abakeeni.”
And he said Achish against [where] did you make a raid this day and he said David on [the] Negev of Judah and on [the] Negev of the Jerahmeelite[s] and against [the] Negev of the Kenite[s].
11 Teyalekangawo musajja newaakubadde omukazi nga mulamu okubaleeta e Gaasi, kubanga yalowooza nti, “Bakyayinza okutuloopa, nga boogera nti, ‘Dawudi akola kino na kino.’” Era eyo ye yali ng’empisa ye, ebbanga lyonna lye yabeera mu nsi ey’Abafirisuuti.
And a man and a woman not he let live David to bring Gath saying lest they should tell on us saying thus he has done David and [is] thus practice his all the days which he has dwelt in [the] region of [the] Philistines.
12 Akisi ne yeesiga Dawudi, n’ayogera mu mutima gwe nti, “Alabika yeetamiddwa abantu be Abayisirayiri, kale kyanaava afuuka omuweereza wange emirembe gyonna.”
And he trusted Achish in David saying certainly he has become odious among people his among Israel and he will become of me a servant of perpetuity.
