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 gathered together all their hosts to Aphek; and the Israelites pitched by the fountain which is 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 passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rearward 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 said the princes of the Philistines: 'What do these Hebrews here?' And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines: 'Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me these days or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell away unto me unto this day?'

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 princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him: 'Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us; for wherewith should this fellow reconcile himself unto his lord? should 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 not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying: Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten 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 called David, and said unto him: 'As the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day; nevertheless the lords favour thee not.

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

Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.'

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 unto Achish: 'But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been before thee unto this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of 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 answered and said to David: 'I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God; notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said: He shall not go up with us to the battle.

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.”

Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with the servants of thy lord that are come with thee; and as soon as ye are up early in the morning, and have light, depart.'

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 rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
