1 Samuel 29

1 Àwọn Filistini sì kó gbogbo ogun wọn jọ sí Afeki: Israẹli sì dó ni ibi ìsun omi tí ó wà ní Jesreeli.

Now the Philistines got all their army together at Aphek: and the Israelites put their forces in position by the fountain in Jezreel.

2 Àwọn ìjòyè Filistini sì kọjá ní ọ̀rọ̀ọ̀rún àti lẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún; Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Akiṣi sì kẹ́yìn.

And the lords of the Philistines went on with their hundreds and their thousands, and David and his men came after with Achish.

3 Àwọn ìjòyè Filistini sì béèrè wí pé, “Kín ni àwọn Heberu ń ṣe níhìn-ín yìí?” Akiṣi sì wí fún àwọn ìjòyè Filistini pé “Dafidi kọ yìí, ìránṣẹ́ Saulu ọba Israẹli, tí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ mi láti ọjọ́ wọ̀nyí tàbí láti ọdún wọ̀nyí, èmi kò ì tì í rí àṣìṣe kan ni ọwọ́ rẹ̀ láti ọjọ́ tí ó ti dé ọ̀dọ̀ mi títí di òní yìí.”

Then the rulers of the Philistines said, What are these Hebrews doing here? And Achish said to the rulers of the Philistines, Is this not David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me for a year or two, and I have never seen any wrong in him from the time when he came to me till now?

4 Àwọn ìjòyè Filistini sì bínú sí i; àwọn ìjòyè Filistini sì wí fún un pé, “Jẹ́ kí ọkùnrin yìí padà kí ó sì lọ sí ipò rẹ̀ tí ó fi fún un, kí ó má sì jẹ́ kí ó bá wa sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ogun, kí ó má ba à jásí ọ̀tá fún wa ni ogun, kín ni òun ó fi ba olúwa rẹ̀ làjà, orí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí kọ́?

But the rulers of the Philistines were angry with him, and said to him, Make the man go back to the place you have given him; do not let him go down with us to the fight, or he may be turned against us and be false to us: for how will this man make peace with his lord? will it not be with the heads of these men?

5 Ṣé èyí ni Dafidi tiwọn torí rẹ̀ gberin ara wọn nínú ijó wí pé, “‘Saulu pa ẹgbẹ̀rún rẹ̀, Dafidi si pa ẹgbẹgbàarùn-ún tirẹ̀.’”

Is this not David, who was named in their songs, when in the dance they said to one another, Saul has put to death thousands, and David tens of thousands?

6 Akiṣi sì pe Dafidi, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Bí Olúwa ti ń bẹ láààyè, ìwọ jẹ́ olóòótọ́ àti ẹni ìwà rere lójú mi, ní àlọ rẹ àti ààbọ̀ rẹ pẹ̀lú mi ní ogun: nítorí pé èmi ko tí ì ri búburú kan lọ́wọ́ rẹ́ láti ọjọ́ ti ìwọ ti tọ̀ mí wá, títí o fi dì òní yìí ṣùgbọ́n lójú àwọn ìjòyè, ìwọ kò ṣe ẹni tí ó tọ́.

Then Achish sent for David and said to him, By the living Lord, you are upright, and everything you have done with me in the army has been pleasing to me: I have seen no evil in you from the day when you came to me till now: but still, the lords are not pleased with you.

7 Ǹjẹ́ yípadà kí o sì máa lọ ní àlàáfíà, kí ìwọ má ṣe bà àwọn Filistini nínú jẹ́.”

So now go back, and go in peace, so that you do not make the lords of the Philistines angry.

8 Dafidi sì wí fún Akiṣi pé, “Kín ni èmi ṣe? Kín ni ìwọ sì rí lọ́wọ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ láti ọjọ́ ti èmi ti ń gbé níwájú rẹ títí di òní yìí, tí èmi kì yóò fi lọ bá àwọn ọ̀tá ọba jà.”

And David said to Achish, But what have I done? what have you seen in your servant while I have been with you till this day, that I may not go and take up arms against those who are now making war on my lord the king?

9 Akiṣi sì dáhùn, ó sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Èmi mọ̀ pé ìwọ ṣe ẹni rere lójú mi, bi angẹli Ọlọ́run; ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ìjòyè Filistini wí pé, ‘Òun kì yóò bá wa lọ sí ogun.’

And Achish in answer said, It is true that in my eyes you are good, like an angel of God: but still, the rulers of the Philistines have said, He is not to go up with us to the fight.

10 Ǹjẹ́, nísinsin yìí dìde ní òwúrọ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ olúwa rẹ tí ó bá ọ wá, ki ẹ si dìde ní òwúrọ̀ nígbà tí ilẹ̀ bá mọ́ kí ẹ sì máa lọ.”

So get up early in the morning, with the servants of your lord who are with you, and go to the place I have given you, and have no evil design in your heart, for you are good in my eyes; but when there is light enough in the morning, go away.

11 Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì dìde ní òwúrọ̀ láti padà lọ sí ilẹ̀ àwọn Filistini. Àwọn Filistini sì gòkè lọ sí Jesreeli.

So David and his men got up early in the morning to go back to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
