1 Samoela 27
1 Aa hoe ty fitsakorean-tro’ i Davide: Indraik’ andro ke ho faopaohem-pità’ i Saole iraho; aa ino ty hahasoa ahy mandikoatse te hibioñe mb’an-tane’ o nte-Pilistio mb’eo; toe hafoe’ i Saole iraho tsy hipay ahy an-tane Israele ao ka; aa le ho poliorako o fità’eo.
And David says to his heart, “Now I am consumed by the hand of Saul one day; there is nothing better for me than that I diligently escape to the land of the Philistines, and Saul has been despairing of me—of seeking me anymore in all the border of Israel, and I have escaped out of his hand.”
2 Niavotse amy zao t’i Davide nitsake mb’eo rekets’ i lahilahy enenjato mpiama’e rey; mb’ amy Akise, ana’ i Maòke, mpanjaka’ i Gate mb’eo.
And David rises, and passes over, he and six hundred men who [are] with him, to Achish son of Maoch king of Gath;
3 Aa le nindre nimoneñe amy Akise e Gate ao t’i Davide, ie naho ondati’eo, songa an-kasavereña’e naho i Davide rekets’ i vali’e roe rey, i Akinoame nte-Iezreele, vaho i Abigale nte Karmele, nivali’ i Nabaley.
and David dwells with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each one with his household, [even] David and his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelitess.
4 Ie natalily amy Saole te nivoratsake mb’e Gate añe t’i Davide; le tsy nipaia’e ka.
And it is declared to Saul that David has fled to Gath, and he has not added to seek him anymore.
5 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Akise: Aa naho nahatrea fañisohañe am-pihaino’o iraho, le anoloro toetse raik’ amo rova an-kalokeo; fa ino ty himoneña’ ty mpitoro’o an-drovam-panjaka mindre ama’o atoa?
And David says to Achish, “Now if I have found grace in your eyes, they give a place to me in one of the cities of the field, and I dwell there, indeed, why does your servant dwell in the royal city with you?”
6 Natolo’ i Akise aze ty Tsiklage amy andro zay; aa le atao hanañam-panjaka’ Iehodao pak’ androany ty Tsiklage.
And Achish gives Ziklag to him in that day, therefore Ziklag has been for the kings of Judah until this day.
7 Le ty hamaro’ ty andro nimoneña’ i Davide an-tane’ o nte-Pilistio: taoñe raike-tsi-efa-bolañe.
And the number of the days which David has dwelt in the field of the Philistines [is one year] of days and four months;
8 Nionjoñe mb’eo amy zao t’i Davide rekets’ o mpiama’eo, naname o nte-Gesorio naho o nte-Gizrio vaho o nte-Amalekeo, amy t’ie nimoneñe an-tane haehae, amy fañaveloa’o boak’e Sore pak’an-tane Mitsraimey.
and David and his men go up, and they push toward the Geshurite, and the Gerizite, and the Amalekite (for they are inhabitants of the land from of old), as you come to Shur and to the land of Egypt,
9 Zinevo’ i Davide i taney, le tsy napo’e ho veloñe ndra lahilahy ndra ampela, naho tinava’e iaby o añondrio naho o añombeo naho o borìkeo naho o ramevao vaho o saroñeo. Le nimpoly mb’e Akise mb’eo.
and David has struck the land, and does not keep alive man and woman, and has taken sheep, and oxen, and donkeys, and camels, and garments, and turns back, and comes to Achish.
10 Le hoe t’i Akise: Aia ty nañatsafa’o lalañe anindroany? Le hoe t’i Davide: Añ’ila’ Iehodà atimo añe, naho atimo’ o nte-Ierakmileo mb’ atimo’ o nte-Kenio.
And Achish says, “To where have you pushed today?” And David says, “Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelite, and to the south of the Kenite.”
11 Ndra lahilahy ndra ampela tsy nado’ i Davide ho veloñe hera hitaroñeñe amy Gate ty hoe: Zao ty nanoe’ i Davide. Ie ty nanoe’e amo hene andro naha-tan-tane’ o nte-Pilistio azeo.
David keeps alive neither man nor woman, to bring in [word] to Gath, saying, “Lest they declare [it] against us, saying, Thus David has done, and thus [is] his custom all the days that he has dwelt in the fields of the Philistines.”
12 Niantok’ i Davide t’i Akise, ie nanao ty hoe: Toe nampitrotrotse vatan-dre am’ondati’e Israeleo; aa le ho mpitoroko nainai’e.
And Achish believes in David, saying, “He has made himself utterly abhorred among his people in Israel, and has been for a perpetual servant to me.”
