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, towards Aphek, —and, the Israelites, were encamping by the fountain, that 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, were passing on by hundreds, and by thousands, —but, David and his men, were passing on in the rear, 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 are these Hebrews [doing]? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines—Is not this David, servant of Saul king of Israel, who hath been with me this year, or two, and I have found in him nothing, from the day of his coming over 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 raged against him, and the princes of the Philistines said unto him—Let the man go back, that he may return unto the place which thou didst appoint him, and let him not go down with us, into battle, so shall he not become to us a traitor, in the battle, —for, wherewith, should this fellow gain favour with his lord? Would it not be with the heads of those 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 made responses in the dances, saying, —Saul, hath smitten, his thousands, But, David, his, 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.

So Achish called for David, and said unto him—By the life of Yahweh, surely, upright, thou art, and, pleasing in mine eyes, have been thy going out and thy coming in with me, in the host, for I have found in thee no wrong, from the day of thy coming in unto me, until this day, —but, in the eyes of the lords, displeasing, thou art.

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

Now, therefore, return, and go in peace, —so shalt thou not do wrong in the eyes of 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.”

Then said David unto Achish—But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant, from the day that I came before thee, unto this day, —that I may not go in and fight, with 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.’

Then answered Achish, and said unto David, I acknowledge that, pleasing, thou art in mine eyes, as a messenger of God, —notwithstanding, the princes of the Philistines, have said, He shall not go up with us, into 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.”

Now, therefore, rise up early in the morning, thou and the servants of thy lord who have come with thee, —yea, as soon as ye have risen early in the morning, and have light, then 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, —but, the Philistines, went up to Jezreel.
