2 Iziphathamandla zamaFilisti zasezidlula ngamakhulu langezinkulungwane, kodwa uDavida labantu bakhe bedlula emuva loAkishi.
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.
3 Induna zamaFilisti zasezisithi: Ayini lamaHebheru? UAkishi wasesithi kuzo induna zamaFilisti: Lo kayisuye uDavida yini, inceku kaSawuli inkosi yakoIsrayeli, obelami lezinsuku kumbe liminyaka? Njalo kangitholanga lutho kuye kusukela kusuku lokuwa kwakhe kuze kube lamuhla.

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.”
4 Kodwa induna zamaFilisti zamthukuthelela; izinduna zamaFilisti zathi kuye: Mbuyisele lumuntu ukuthi abuyele endaweni yakhe owambeka khona. Njalo kangehleli empini lathi, ukuze angabi yisitha sethu empini. Ngoba lo angazenza athandeke ngani enkosini yakhe? Hatshi ngamakhanda alamadoda yini?

5 Lo kayisuye uDavida yini ababevumelana ngaye emigidweni besithi: USawuli utshaye izinkulungwane zakhe, kodwa uDavida inkulungwane zakhe ezingamatshumi?
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.’”
6 UAkishi wasebiza uDavida wathi kuye: Kuphila kukaJehova, isibili wena uqondile, lokuphuma kwakho lokungena kwakho lami enkambeni kuhle emehlweni ami; ngoba kangitholanga ububi kuwe kusukela osukwini lokufika kwakho kimi kuze kube lamuhla; kodwa emehlweni eziphathamandla kawumuhle.

9 UAkishi wasephendula wathi kuDavida: Ngiyazi ukuthi ulungile emehlweni ami njengengilosi kaNkulunkulu; kodwa izinduna zamaFilisti zithe: Kayikwenyukela empini lathi.
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.
