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: 'I shall now be swept away one day by the hand of Saul; there is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel; so shall I escape out of his hand.'

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 arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men that were with him, unto Achish the son of Maoch, 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 dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.

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 told Saul that David was fled to Gath; and he sought no more again for 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 unto Achish: 'If now I have found favour in thine eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there; for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?'

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

Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day; wherefore Ziklag belongeth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.

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

And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and 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 made a raid upon the Geshurites, and the Gizrites, and the Amalekites; for those were the inhabitants of the land, who were of old, as thou goest to Shur, even unto 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 smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel. And he returned, and came 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.

And Achish said: 'Whither have ye made a raid to-day?' And David said: 'Against the South of Judah, and against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.'

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.

And David left neither man nor woman alive, to bring them to Gath, saying: 'Lest they should tell on us, saying: So did David, and so hath been his manner all the while he hath dwelt in the country 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.

And Achish believed David, saying: 'He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.'
