Samuu'Eel Kowaad 27

1 Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu isyidhi, Maalin uun baan gacanta Saa'uul ku dhiman doonaa; haddaba wax iiga wanaagsan ma jiro inaan dalka reer Falastiin u baxsado mooyaane; oo Saa'uulna wuu iga quusan doonaa, oo mar dambe xuduudka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan igama doondooni doono; oo saas ayaan gacantiisa kaga baxsan doonaa.

And David said in his heart: “At some time, I will one day fall into the hands of Saul. Is it not better if I flee, and be saved in the land of the Philistines, so that Saul may despair and cease to seek me in all the parts of Israel? Therefore, I will flee away from his hands.”

2 Markaasaa Daa'uud kacay oo gudbay, isagii iyo lixdii boqol oo nin ee isaga la joogay, oo waxay u yimaadeen Aakiish oo ahaa ina Maacoog, kaasoo ahaa boqorkii Gad.

And David rose up and went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish, the son of Maoch, the king of Gath.

3 Oo Daa'uudna Aakiish buu la joogi jiray Gad, isagii iyo raggiisiiba, oo nin waluba reerkiisii wuu watay, oo xataa Daa'uud wuu watay labadiisii naagood, kuwaasoo ahaa Axiinocam tii reer Yesreceel iyo Abiigayil tii reer Karmel oo Naabaal u dhaxday.

And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men: each man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.

4 Markaasaa Saa'uul waxaa loo soo sheegay in Daa'uud u cararay xagga Gad, oo isna mar dambe ma uusan doondoonin.

And it was reported to Saul that David had fled to Gath. And so, he did not continue to seek him.

5 Kolkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Aakiish ku yidhi, Haddaba haddaad raalli iga tahay, magaalooyinka duurka ku yaal meel ha iga siiyeen, aan halkaas iska degee, waayo, bal anoo addoonkaaga ah maxaan magaalada reer boqor kuula degganahay?

And David said to Achish: “If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be given to me in one of the cities of this region, so that I may live there. For why should your servant stay in the city of the king with you?”

6 Maalintaasaa Aakiish siiyey Siiqlag, oo sidaas aawadeed Siiqlag ilaa maanta waxaa iska leh boqorrada dalka Yahuudah.

And so, Achish gave Ziklag to him on that day. And for this reason, Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah, even to this day.

7 Oo maalmihii Daa'uud joogay duurka reer Falastiin tiradoodu waxay ahayd sannad dhan iyo afar bilood.

Now the number of days that David lived in the region of the Philistines was four months.

8 Markaasaa Daa'uud iyo raggiisii u keceen inay weeraraan reer Geshuur, iyo reer Geser, iyo reer Camaaleq, waayo, quruumahaas ayaa waagii hore dalka degganaa, oo waxay degganaayeen ilaa Shuur iyo xataa tan iyo dalka Masar.

And David and his men went up and took plunder from Geshuri, and from Girzi, and from the Amalekites. For in the land long ago, these were the inhabitants of the area, going from Shur as far as the land of Egypt.

9 Markaasaa Daa'uud dalkii weeraray, oo nololna kuma uu dayn nin iyo naag toona, wuxuuna la tegey idihii, iyo dibidii, iyo dameerrihii, iyo geelii, iyo dharkii, dabadeedna wuu soo noqday, oo Aakiish u yimid.

And David struck the entire land. Neither did he leave alive man or woman. And he took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the garments. And he returned and went to Achish.

10 Markaasaa Aakiish wuxuu ku yidhi, Yaad maanta soo dhacdeen? Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu yidhi, Waxaannu weerarnay xagga koonfureed oo dalka Yahuudah, iyo xagga koonfureed oo reer Yeraxme'eel iyo xagga koonfureed oo reer Qeyn.

Then Achish said to him, “Whom did you go out against today?” And David responded, “Against the south of Judah, and against the south of Jerahmeel, and against the south of Keni.”

11 Oo Daa'uudna nolol kuma uu dayn nin iyo naag toona, inuu Gad keeno aawadeed, waayo, wuxuu isyidhi, Waaba intaasoo ay inagu sheekaystaan oo yidhaahdaan, Daa'uud saasuu yeelay, caadadiisuna saasay ahayd intuu duurka reer Falastiin degganaa oo dhan.

Neither man nor woman was left alive by David. Neither did he lead back any of them to Gath, saying, “Lest perhaps they may speak against us.” David did these things. And this was his decision during all the days that he lived in the region of the Philistines.

12 Aakiishna Daa'uud buu aaminay, oo wuxuu isyidhi, Isagu dadkiisii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan wuu isku diray oo aad bay u karahsadeen isaga; sidaas daraaddeed isagu wuxuu ii ahaan doonaa addoon weligiisba.

Therefore, Achish trusted David, saying: “He has worked much harm against his people Israel. And so, he will be a servant to me forever.”
