< 1 Samuel 29 >

1 Filistifoɔ no boaboaa wɔn akodɔm nyinaa ano wɔ Afek, na Israelfoɔ nso kɔkyeree sraban wɔ asutire 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 Ɛberɛ a Filistifoɔ ntuanofoɔ de wɔn nsraadɔm akuakuo ɔha ɔha mu ne mpempem retu ɔsa no, na Dawid nso ne ne dɔm retu sa 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 Filistifoɔ asahene no bisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na Hebrifoɔ yi reyɛ wɔ ha?” Akis buaa sɛ, “Ɔyi ne Dawid, ɔbarima a ɔdwane firii Israelhene Saulo anim no. Waba me nkyɛn ha ne me abɛtena bɛboro afe nie. Na ɛfiri ɛberɛ a ɔgyaa Saulo hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ yi, menhunuu ne ho mfomsoɔ 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 Filistifoɔ asahene no bo fuu no kaa sɛ, “Ma ɔbarima no nsane nkɔ, sɛdeɛ ɔbɛkɔ baabi a wode maa no no. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔka yɛn ho kɔ ɔko no, ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ anhwɛ a, ɔbɛdane nʼani ako atia yɛn wɔ ɔko no mu. Ɛkwan foforɔ bi wɔ hɔ a ɔbɛfa so ne ne wura Saulo aka abɔ mu a ɛsene sɛ ɔbɛko atia yɛn anaa?
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 asa mu sɛ: “Saulo akum ne mpempem na Dawid deɛ, wakum ɔpedu ɔpedu 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 sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase yi, menhyiaa mmarima a wɔte sɛ mo, anka mepɛ sɛ mo ne yɛn kɔ ɔko, nanso Filistifoɔ sodifoɔ a aka 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, sane wʼakyi na kɔ no asomdwoeɛ mu. Ɛno enti, nyɛ biribiara a ɛbɛha Filistifoɔ no.”
Ko ia ke ke foki ni, pea ke ʻalu fiemālie pe, telia naʻa ke fakaʻita ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kakai Filisitia.”
8 Dawid bisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na mayɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde me fa saa ɛkwan yi so? Adɛn enti na ɛnsɛ sɛ meko tia me wura ɔhene no atamfoɔ?”
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 kaa sɛ, “Me nko ara me fa mu deɛ, woyɛ pɛpɛ te sɛ Onyankopɔn ɔbɔfoɔ. 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 ɛberɛ a animu retete 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 sane kɔɔ Filistifoɔ asase so, na Filistifoɔ akodɔm 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.
