1 Saamuʼeel 29

1 Filisxeemonni loltoota isaanii hunda Afeeqitti walitti qabatan; Israaʼeloonni immoo burqaa Yizriʼeel keessa jiru bira qubatan.

So the Philistims were gathered together with all their armies in Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by the fountaine, which is in Izreel.

2 Yommuu bulchitoonni Filisxeem dhibba dhibbaa fi kuma kumaan qoodamanii duulanitti Daawitii fi namoonni isaa Aakiish wajjin dugda duuba deemaa turan.

And the princes of the Philistims went foorth by hundreths and thousandes, but Dauid and his men came behinde with Achish.

3 Ajajjoonni loltoota Filisxeemis, “Ibroonni kunneen maali asii hojjetu?” jedhanii gaafatan. Aakiishis deebisee, “Kun Daawit qondaalticha Saaʼol mooticha Israaʼel sanaa mitii? Inni waggaa tokko caalaa na wajjin ture; gaafa inni Saaʼolin dhiisee jalqabee hamma ammaatti ani yakka tokko illee isa irratti hin argine” jedhe.

Then saide the princes of the Philistims, What doe these Ebrewes here? And Achish said vnto the princes of the Philistims, Is not this Dauid the seruant of Saul the King of Israel, who hath bene with me these dayes, or these yeeres, and I haue found nothing in him, since he dwelt with me vnto this day?

4 Ajajjoonni loltoota Filisxeem garuu isatti aaranii akkana jedhan; “Akka inni iddoo ati isa itti ramadde sanatti deebiʼuuf namicha kana deebisii ergi. Inni nu wajjin duuluu hin qabu; yoo kanaa achii inni lola keessatti nutti garagala. Inni yoo mataa namoota keenyaa kukkutuudhaan taʼe malee akkamitti gooftaa isaatti araaramuu dandaʼa?

But the princes of the Philistims were wroth with him, and the princes of the Philistims said vnto him, Sende this fellow backe, that he may goe againe to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not goe downe with vs to battell, least that in the battell he be an aduersarie to vs: for wherewith should he obteine the fauour of his master? shoulde it not be with the heades of these men?

5 Daawit kun namichuma isaan, “‘Saaʼol kumaatama ajjeese; Daawit immoo kuma kumaatama ajjeese’ jedhanii sirbanii shubbisaniif sana mitii?”

Is not this Dauid, of whome they sang in daunces, saying, Saul slewe his thousande, and Dauid his ten thousande?

6 Kanaafuu Aakiish Daawitin waamee akkana jedheen; “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, ati nama amanamaa turte; ani utuu ati na wajjin loltoota keessa tajaajiltee nan gammada. Gaafa ati na bira dhuftee jalqabee hamma harʼaatti ani yakka tokko illee sirratti hin argine; garuu bulchitoonni si hin fudhanne.

Then Achish called Dauid, and said vnto him, As the Lord liueth, thou hast bene vpright and good in my sight, when thou wentest out and in with mee in the hoste, neither haue I founde euill with thee, since thou camest to me vnto this day, but the princes doe not fauour thee.

7 Deebiʼii nagaan deemi; waan bulchitoota Filisxeemotaa gaddisiisu tokko illee hin hojjetin.”

Wherefore nowe returne, and go in peace, that thou displease not the princes of the Philistims.

8 Daawit, “Garuu ani maalin godhe? Erga ani gara kee dhufee jalqabee hamma ammaatti yakki ati tajaajilaa kee irratti argite maali? Ani maaliifin dhaqee diinota gooftaa koo mootichaa waraanuu hin dandaʼu?” jedhee gaafate.

And Dauid said vnto Achish, But what haue I done? and what hast thou founde in thy seruant as long as I haue bene with thee vnto this day, that I may not goe and fight against the enemies of my lorde the King?

9 Aakiish akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani akka ati fuula koo duratti akkuma ergamaa Waaqayyoo namatti toltu beeka; taʼus ajajjoonni Filisxeemotaa, ‘Inni nu wajjin duuluu hin qabu’ jedhaniiru.

Achish then answered, and said to Dauid, I knowe thou pleasest mee, as an Angell of God: but the princes of the Philistims haue saide, Let him not goe vp with vs to battell.

10 Egaa amma kaʼiitii tajaajiltoota gooftaa keetii kanneen si wajjin dhufan wajjin ganamaan akkuma lafti ifeen deemaa.”

Wherefore now rise vp earely in the morning with thy masters seruants that are come with thee: and when ye be vp earely, assoone as ye haue light, depart.

11 Kanaafuu Daawitii fi namoonni isaa ganama bariin kaʼanii gara biyya Filisxeemotaa dhaquuf qajeelan; Filisxeemonni immoo gara Yizriʼeelitti ol baʼan.

So Dauid and his men rose vp earely to depart in the morning, and to returne into the lande of the Philistims: and the Philistims went vp to Izreel.
