1 Samoela 27
1 Ary Davida nanao anakampo hoe; Mbola ho fatin’ ny tànan’ i Saoly ihany aho indray androany; tsy misy mahasoa ahy afa-tsy ny mandositra haingana any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina, dia hamoy ahy Saoly ka tsy hitady ahy eran’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely intsony, dia ho afaka amin’ ny tànany aho.
And Dauid said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: is it not better for me that I saue my selfe in the lande of the Philistims, and that Saul may haue no hope of me to seeke me any more in all the coastes of Israel, and so escape out of his hand?
2 Ary niainga Davida nandeha mbamin’ ny enin-jato lahy nanaraka azy nankany amin’ i Akisy, zanak’ i Maoka, mpanjakan’ i Gata.
Dauid therefore arose, and he, and the sixe hundreth men that were with him, went vnto Achish the sonne of Maoch King of Gath.
3 Ary nitoetra tao amin’ i Akisy tao Gata Davida, dia izy sy ny olony, samy nomban’ ny ankohonany avy, ary Davida mbamin’ ny adiny roa, dia Ahinoama Jezirelita sy Abigaila Karmelita, ilay novinadin’ i Nabala.
And Dauid dwelt with Achish at Gath, he, and his men, euery man with his housholde, Dauid with his two wiues, Ahinoam the Izreelite, and Abigail Nabals wife the Carmelite.
4 Ary nambara tamin’ i Saoly fa Davida efa nandositra nankany Gata, ka dia tsy nitady azy intsony izy.
And it was tolde Saul that Dauid was fled to Gath: so he sought no more for him.
5 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Akisy: Raha mahita fitia eo imasonao aho, aoka mba homena fonenana ao amin’ ny tanàna anankiray any an-tsaha aho mba honenako any, fa nahoana ny mpanomponao no hitoetra aminao eto amin’ ny renivohitry ny fanjakana?
And Dauid saide vnto Achish, If I haue nowe founde peace in thine eyes, let them giue me a place in some other citie of the countrey, that I may dwell there: for why should thy seruant dwel in ye head citie of the kingdome with thee?
6 Dia nomen’ i Akisy azy androtrizay Ziklaga; ka dia an’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda ambaraka androany Ziklaga.
Then Achish gaue him Ziklag that same day: therefore Ziklag pertaineth vnto the kings of Iudah vnto this day.
7 Ary ny andro nitoeran’ i Davida tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina dia herintaona sy efa-bolana.
And the time that Dauid dwelt in the countrey of the Philistims, was foure moneths and certaine dayes.
8 Ary Davida sy ny olony niakatra ka nanafika ny Gesorita sy ny Gizrita ary ny Amalekita; fa ireo nonina tamin’ ny tany hatrizay ela izay, dia hatrany akaikin’ i Sora, hatramin’ ny tany Egypta.
Then Dauid and his men went vp, and inuaded the Geshurites, and the Girzites, and the Amalekites: for they inhabited the lande from the beginning, from the way, as thou goest to Shur, euen vnto the lande of Egypt.
9 Ary Davida namely ny tany, ka tsy nisy novelominy na lehilahy na vehivavy, sady namabo ondry aman’ osy sy omby sy boriky sy rameva ary fitafiana izy, dia niverina nankany amin’ i Akisy.
And Dauid smote the lande, and left neither man nor woman aliue, and tooke sheepe, and oxen, and asses, and camels, and apparell, and returned and came to Achish.
10 Ary hoy Akisy: Moa tsy nanafika va ianareo androany? Dia hoy Davida: Nanafika ny tany atsimo izay an’ i Joda sy izay an’ ny Jeramelita ary izay an’ ny Kenita izahay.
And Achish said, Where haue ye bene a rouing this day? And Dauid answered, Against the South of Iudah, and against the South of the Ierahmeelites, and against the South of ye Kenites.
11 Ary tsy nisy novelomin’ i Davida ho entiny any Gata, na lehilahy na vehivavy; fa hoy izy: Andrao izahay lazainy hoe: Toy izany no nataon’ i Davida, ary toy izany no fanaony tamin’ ny andro rehetra nitoerany tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina.
And Dauid saued neither man nor woman aliue, to bring them to Gath, saying, Lest they should tel on vs, and say, So did Dauid, and so will be his maner all the while that he dwelleth in the countrey of the Philistims.
12 Ary Akisy nino an’ i Davida ka nanao hoe: Efa nampangidy hoditra ny tenany any amin’ ny Isiraely olony izy, ka dia ho mpanompoko mandrakizay.
And Achish beleeued Dauid, saying, He hath made his people of Israel vtterly to abhorre him: therefore he shalbe my seruant for euer.
