1 Samuel 27
1 Na Dawid dwen ho se, “Da bi, mɛtɔ wɔ Saulo nsa ano. Na nea mɛyɛ a eye pa ara ne sɛ, meguan akɔ Filistifo nkyɛn. Ɛba saa a, Saulo begyae mʼakyidi na menya bammɔ.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita ʻi hono loto, “Ko eni, ʻe ai ha ʻaho te u ʻauha ai nai ʻi he nima ʻo Saula: ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa lelei hake kiate au, ka ko ʻeku hola ʻo hao ki he fonua ʻoe kau Filisitia; pea ʻe ʻosi ai ʻae mamahi ʻa Saula kiate au, ʻi he toe kumi kiate au ʻi he ngaahi potu fonua ʻo ʻIsileli: ko ia te u hao ai mei hono nima.”
2 Na Dawid ne mmarima ahansia tutu kɔtenaa Gat kɔhyɛɛ Maok babarima ɔhene Akis ase.
Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa Tevita, pea hoko atu ia mo e kau tangata ʻe toko onongeau naʻe ʻiate ia kia ʻAkisi, ko e foha ʻo Maoki ko e tuʻi ʻo Kati.
3 Na Dawid de ne yerenom baanu a wɔyɛ Ahinoam a ofi Yesreel ne Abigail a ofi Karmel a na ɔyɛ Nabal kunabea no kɔe.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻa Tevita mo ʻAkisi ʻi Kati, ʻaia mo hono kau tangata, ʻae tangata taki taha mo hono fale, ʻa Tevita mo hono ongo uaifi ʻe toko ua, ko ʻAhinoami ko e fefine Sesilili, mo ʻApikale ko e fefine Kameli, ʻaia naʻe mali mo Napale.
4 Saulo tee sɛ Dawid aguan kɔ Gat no, wanni nʼakyi anhwehwɛ no bio.
Pea naʻe tala kia Saula kuo hola ʻa Tevita ki Kati: pea naʻe ʻikai te ne toe kumi ia.
5 Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Akis se, “Sɛ ɛrenhaw wo a, ma yɛn baabi wɔ nkurow no bi so na yɛnkɔtena hɔ sen sɛ yɛbɛtena ahenkurow yi mu.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻAkisi, “Ko eni, kapau kuo u ʻilo ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, tuku kenau foaki mai kiate au ha potu fonua ʻi ha kolo, pe ʻi ʻuta, koeʻuhi ke u nofo ki ai: he koeʻumaʻā ʻae nofo ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki mo koe ʻi he kolo ʻae tuʻi?”
6 Enti Akis de Siklag kurow maa no, (na efi saa da no, ɛhɔ abɛyɛ Yuda ahemfo atenae de besi nnɛ),
Pea naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻe ʻAkisi ʻa Sikilaki ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: ko ia naʻe toka ai ʻa Sikilaki ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
7 na wɔtenaa Filistifo no mu afe ne asram anan.
Pea ko hono lahi ʻoe ʻaho naʻe nofo ai ʻa Tevita ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia, ko e taʻu ʻe taha mo e māhina ʻe fā.
8 Afei, Dawid ne ne dɔm kɔtow hyɛɛ Gesurfo, Girsifo ne Amalekfo so. Saa nnipa yi na na kan no, wɔtete asase a ɛtrɛw kɔ Sur a ɛwɔ Misraim kwan so no.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata, ʻo tauʻi ʻae kakai Kesuli, mo e kakai Kesili, mo e kakai ʻAmaleki; he ko kinautolu ko e kakai ʻi muʻa ʻoe fonua ʻi hoʻo ʻalu ki Sua, ʻo ʻalu atu ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
9 Dawid annyaw onipa baako anikann wɔ nkuraa a ɔkɔtow hyɛɛ wɔn so no mu. Ɔfaa nguan, anantwi, mfurum, yoma ne ntade nyinaa ansa na ɔresan akɔ Akis nkyɛn.
Pea naʻe taaʻi ʻe Tevita ʻae fonua, pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ke moʻui ha tangata pe ko e fefine, pea naʻa ne fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae fanga sipi, mo e fanga pulu, mo e fanga ʻasi, mo e fanga kāmeli, mo e ngaahi kofu, pea liu mai ʻo haʻu, pea hoko ia kia ʻAkisi.
10 Akis bisaa Dawid se, “Ɛhe na nnɛ mofom nneɛma kodui?” Dawid buae se, “Yɛkɔɔ Yuda anafo fam kɔtow hyɛɛ Yerahmeelfo ne Kenifo so.”
Pea pehē ʻe ʻAkisi, “Kuo mou tofa ʻae hala ki fē he ʻaho ni?” Pea pehē ʻe Tevita, “Ki he potu tonga ʻo Siuta, pea ki he potu tonga ʻoe kakai Selamili, pea ki he potu tonga ʻoe kakai Kena.”
11 Dawid kum wɔn nyinaa. Wannyaw obiara a obetumi aba Gat abɛkyerɛ faako a ɔkɔe. Saa ade yi kɔɔ so ara wɔ bere a na Dawid te Filistifo mu no.
Pea naʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui ʻe Tevita ha tangata ʻe tokotaha pe ha fefine, ke ʻomi ʻae ongoongo ki Kati, ʻo ne pehē, Telia naʻa nau haʻu ʻo talaʻi ʻakimautolu, ʻo pehē, naʻe fai pehē ʻe Tevita, pea ʻe pehē pe ʻene anga, lolotonga ʻene nofo ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia.
12 Akis gyee Dawid dii, na ɔkaa wɔ ne tirim se, “Saa bere yi de, Israelfo bekyi no kɔkɔɔkɔ, na ɛbɛma no atena ha, na wasom me afebɔɔ.”
Pea naʻe tui ʻa ʻAkisi kia Tevita, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo fakafehiʻa ʻaupito ʻe ia ʻa hono kakai ʻIsileli kiate ia; ko ia ʻe hoko ai ia ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ʻo taʻengata.”
