1 Samuel 29
1 Filistifo no boaboaa wɔn asraafo nyinaa ano wɔ Afek, na Israelfo nso kɔkyeree nsraban wɔ asuti bi ho wɔ Yesreel.
Pea naʻe tānaki fakataha ʻe he kakai Filisitia ʻa ʻenau ngaahi matanga tau ki ʻEfeki: pea naʻe ʻapitanga ʻae kakai ʻIsileli ʻo ofi ki he matavai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Sesilili.
2 Bere a Filistifo ntuanofo de wɔn asraafo akuwakuw ɔha ɔha mu ne mpempem retu ɔsa no, na Dawid nso ne ne dɔm retu ɔsa wɔ wɔn akyi a, Akis ka wɔn ho.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻi he ngaahi toko teau, mo e ngaahi toko afe: pea ʻalu ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata kimui mo ʻAkisi.
3 Filistifo asahene no bisae se, “Dɛn na Hebrifo yi reyɛ wɔ ha?” Akis buae se, “Oyi ne Dawid, ɔbarima a oguan fii Israelhene Saulo anim no. Waba me nkyɛn ha ne me abɛtena bɛboro afe ni. Na efi bere a ogyaw Saulo hɔ besi nnɛ yi, minhuu ne ho mfomso biara.”
Pea pehē ʻe he houʻeiki ʻoe kakai Filisitia, “Ko e hā ʻoku fai ʻe he kau Hepelū ni ʻi heni?” Pea pehē ʻe ʻAkisi ki he houʻeiki ʻoe kakai Filisitia, “ʻIkai ko Tevita eni, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Saula, ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ʻiate au ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ni, pe ko e ngaahi taʻu, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha kovi ʻe taha ʻiate ia talu ʻene hau kiate au ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni?”
4 Na Filistifo asahene no bo fuw no kae se, “Ma ɔbarima no nsan nkɔ, sɛnea ɔbɛkɔ faako a wode maa no no. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔka yɛn ho kɔ ɔko no, efisɛ sɛ anhwɛ a, ɔbɛdan nʼani ako atia yɛn wɔ ɔko no mu. Ɔkwan foforo bi nni hɔ a ɔbɛfa so ne ne wura Saulo aka abɔ mu a ɛbɛma no ako atia yɛn ana?
Pea naʻe ʻita ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kakai Filisitia kiate ia; pea pehē ʻe he houʻeiki ʻoe kau Filisitia kiate ia, “Ke ke fakafoki ʻae siana ni, koeʻuhi ke toe ʻalu ia ki hono potu ʻaia kuo ke tuʻutuʻuni kiate ia, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ia ke ʻalu hifo mo kitautolu ki he tau, telia naʻa hoko ia ʻi he tau ko e fili kiate kitautolu: he te ne fakalelei ia ki heʻene ʻeiki ʻi he hā? ʻIkai ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻulu ʻoe kau tangata ni?
5 Ɛnyɛ saa Dawid yi na wɔtoo dwom faa ne ho wɔ wɔn asaw mu se: “Saulo akum ne apem apem na Dawid de, wakum mpem du du no?”
ʻIkai ko Tevita eni, ʻaia naʻa nau hiva fetoutou fetaliʻaki ai ʻi he ngaahi meʻe, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo tāmateʻi ʻe Saula ʻene ngaahi toko afe, mo Tevita ʻene ngaahi toko mano?’”
6 Na Akis frɛɛ Dawid ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mmere dodow a Awurade te ase yi, minhyiaa mmarima a wɔte sɛ mo, anka mepɛ sɛ mo ne yɛn kɔ ɔko, nanso Filistifo asodifo a wɔaka no mpene so.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe ʻAkisi ʻa Tevita, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni, hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova, naʻa ke fai angatonu, pea ko e tau fetoutoumoliliuʻaki mo koe ʻi he tau, ʻoku lelei ʻi hoku ʻao: he ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha kovi ʻiate koe talu ʻae ʻaho ʻo hoʻo haʻu kiate au ʻo hoko mo e ʻaho ni: ka ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻikai te ke lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻoe houʻeiki.
7 Enti san wʼakyi na kɔ no asomdwoe mu. Ɛno nti, nyɛ biribiara a ɛbɛhaw Filistifo no.”
Ko ia ke ke foki ni, pea ke ʻalu fiemālie pe, telia naʻa ke fakaʻita ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kakai Filisitia.”
8 Dawid bisae se, “Dɛn na mayɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde me fa saa ɔkwan yi so? Adɛn nti na ɛnsɛ sɛ meko tia me wura ɔhene no atamfo?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻAkisi, “Ka ko e hā ia kuo u fai? Pea ko e hā ia kuo ke ʻilo ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki lolotonga ʻe tau nonofo mo koe ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku ʻalu ʻo tauʻi ʻae ngaahi fili ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi?”
9 Nanso Akis gyinaa mu pintinn kae se, “Me nko ara me fa mu de, woyɛ pɛpɛ te sɛ Onyankopɔn bɔfo. Nanso asahene no suro sɛ wɔde wo bɛka wɔn ho wɔ ɔko mu.
Pea leaange ʻa ʻAkisi ʻo pehē kia Tevita, “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku ke lelei ʻi hoku ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua: ka koeʻuhi kuo ʻosi ʻae lea ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kakai Filisitia, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai ʻalu ia mo kitautolu ki he tau.’
10 Enti sɔre anɔpahema, na wo ne wo mmarima no nkɔ bere a anim retetew no.”
Pea ko ia ke ke tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he ʻapongipongi mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa hoʻo ʻeiki ʻaia kuo haʻu mo koe: pea ʻi hoʻomou tuʻu hake leva ʻi he ʻapongipongi, pea maama ʻae ʻaho, pea mou ʻalu.”
11 Na Dawid san kɔɔ Filistifo asase so, na Filistifo asraafo no nso kɔɔ Yesreel.
Ko ia naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ai ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata ʻi he pongipongi, ke foki atu ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia. Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kakai Filisitia ki Sesilili.
