1 Samweli 27
1 Daudi alisema moyoni mwake, “Basi, siku moja nitaangamia kwa mkono wa Sauli; hakuna jambo zuri kwangu kuliko kutoroka hadi nchi ya Wafilisti; Sauli atakata tamaa asinitafute tena ndani ya mipaka yote ya Israeli; kwa njia hii nitaponyoka kutoka mkono wake.”
And he said David to heart his now I will be swept away a day one by [the] hand of Saul not [belongs] to me good for really I will escape - to [the] land of [the] Philistines and he will desist from me Saul to seek me again in all [the] territory of Israel and I will be delivered from hand his.
2 Daudi akaondoka na kuvuka, akiwa pamoja na watu mia sita hadi kwa Akishi mwana wa Maoki, mfalme wa Gathi.
And he arose David and he passed over he and six hundred man who [were] with him to Achish [the] son of Maoch [the] king of Gath.
3 Daudi akaishi na Akishi huko Gathi pamoja na watu wake, na kila mtu na familia yake, na Daudi akiwa na wake zake wawili, Ahinoamu Myezreeli, na Abigaili Mkarmeli aliyekuwa mke wa Nabali.
And he dwelt David with Achish in Gath he and men his each one and household his David and [the] two wives his Ahinoam the Jezreelite [woman] and Abigail [the] wife of Nabal the Carmelite [woman].
4 Sauli akaambiwa kuwa Daudi amekimbilia Gathi, hivyo hakumtafuta tena.
And it was told to Saul that he had fled David Gath and not (he repeated *Q(K)*) again to seek him.
5 Daudi akamwambia Akishi, “Kama nimepata kibali machoni pako, wanipatie mahali katika mojawapo ya miji ya nchi, ili nikae huko: kwa nini mtumishi wako akae pamoja na wewe katika mji wa kifalme?”
And he said David to Achish if please I have found favor in view your let people give to me a place in one of [the] cities of the field so I may dwell there and why? will he dwell servant your in [the] city of royalty with you.
6 Hivyo siku hiyo Akishi akampa Daudi Ziklagi; ndiyo sababu mji wa Ziklagi ni mali ya wafalme wa Yuda hadi leo.
And he gave to him Achish on the day that Ziklag therefore it has belonged Ziklag to [the] kings of Judah until the day this.
7 Idadi ya siku ambazo Daudi aliishi katika nchi ya Wafilisti ulikuwa mwaka mmoja na miezi minne.
And it was [the] number of the days which he dwelt David in [the] region of [the] Philistines days and four months.
8 Daudi na watu wake walizipiga sehemu mbalimbali, wakiteka nyara Wageshuri, Wagirizi, na Waamaleki; kwa maana mataifa hayo ndio walikuwa wakaaji wa nchi, kwa uelekeo wa kwenda Shuri hadi kufika nchi ya Misri. Walikuwa wamekaa katika nchi hiyo toka nyakati za zamani.
And he went up David and men his and they made raids against the Geshurite[s] (and the Gizrite[s] *Q(K)*) and the Amalekite[s] for they [were] dwelling the land which [is] from antiquity coming you Shur towards and to [the] land of Egypt.
9 Daudi aliipiga nchi na hakumwacha mwanaume wala mwanamke akiwa hai; akatwaa kondoo, ng'ombe, punda, ngamia, na nguo; kisha alirudi na kufika tena kwa Akishi.
And he struck David the land and not he let live a man and a woman and he took sheep and cattle and donkeys and camels and clothes and he returned and he went to Achish.
10 Ndipo Akishi humuuliza, “Je, leo umefanya mashambulizi dhidi ya nani?” Daudi humjibu, “Nimefanya dhidi ya kusini mwa Yuda,” au dhidi ya kusini mwa Wayerameeli,” au “dhidi ya kusini mwa Wakeni.”
And he said Achish against [where] did you make a raid this day and he said David on [the] Negev of Judah and on [the] Negev of the Jerahmeelite[s] and against [the] Negev of the Kenite[s].
11 Daudi asingemwacha mwanaume wala mwanamke akiwa hai awalete hadi Gathi, akisema, “ili wasije kututeta, 'Daudi amefanya hivi na vile.”' Hivi ndivyo alivyofanya kwa kipindi chote alichokaa katika nchi ya Wafilisti.
And a man and a woman not he let live David to bring Gath saying lest they should tell on us saying thus he has done David and [is] thus practice his all the days which he has dwelt in [the] region of [the] Philistines.
12 Akishi alimwamini Daudi, akisema, “Amesababisha watu wake Israeli wamchukie kabisa; kwa hiyo atakuwa mtumishi wangu milele.”
And he trusted Achish in David saying certainly he has become odious among people his among Israel and he will become of me a servant of perpetuity.
