1 Samuel 27
1 David said in his heart, “I will now perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel. So I will escape out of his hand.”
Davidi akanisaki mpe amilobelaki: « Mokolo ezali oyo Saulo akoboma ngai na nzela ya loboko na ye. Boye eleki malamu mpo na ngai kokima na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia. Na bongo nde Saulo akotika koluka ngai kati na Isalaele mobimba, mpe ngai nakokima loboko na ye. »
2 David arose and passed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
Bongo Davidi elongo na bato nkama motoba oyo bazalaki elongo na ye batelemaki mpe bakendeki epai ya Akishi, mwana mobali ya Maoki, mokonzi ya Gati.
3 David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife.
Davidi mpe bato na ye bavandaki na Gati epai ya Akishi: mobali nyonso azalaki na libota na ye, mpe Davidi azalaki na basi na ye mibale: Ayinoami, moto ya Jizireyeli, mpe Abigayili oyo azalaki liboso mwasi ya Nabali, moto ya Karimeli.
4 Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, so he stopped looking for him.
Tango bayebisaki Saulo ete Davidi akimi na Gati, atikaki koluka ye.
5 David said to Achish, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?”
Davidi alobaki na Akishi: « Soki nazwi ngolu na miso na yo, tika ete bapesa ngai esika epai wapi nakoki kovanda kati na moko ya bingumba ya mokili. Mpo na nini mosali na yo avanda na mboka mokonzi elongo na yo? »
6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day.
Na mokolo wana, Akishi apesaki ye engumba ya Tsikilagi. Yango wana Tsikilagi ekoma kino na mokolo ya lelo engumba ya bakonzi ya Yuda.
7 The number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
Davidi awumelaki na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia mobu moko mpe sanza minei.
8 David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for those were the inhabitants of the land who were of old, on the way to Shur, even to the land of Egypt.
Na tango wana, Davidi mpe bato na ye bazalaki kobundisa bato ya Geshuri, ya Girizi mpe ya Amaleki; pamba te wuta kala, bato ya bikolo yango bazalaki kovanda na mokili longwa na Shuri kino na Ejipito.
9 David struck the land, and saved no man or woman alive, and took away the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned, and came to Achish.
Tango nyonso Davidi azalaki kobundisa mboka moko, azalaki kotika te na bomoi ezala mobali to mwasi. Nzokande azalaki kobotola bameme, bangombe, ba-ane, bashamo mpe bilamba. Bongo azalaki kozonga epai ya Akishi.
10 Achish said, “Against whom have you made a raid today?” David said, “Against the South of Judah, against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.”
Tango Akishi atunaki: — Bobundi wapi lelo? Davidi azongisaki: — Tobundi na sude ya Yuda, na sude ya mokili ya bato ya Yerameeli, mpe na sude ya mokili ya bato ya Keni.
11 David saved neither man nor woman alive to bring them to Gath, saying, “Lest they should tell about us, saying, ‘David did this, and this has been his way all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.’”
Davidi azalaki kotika te ete bamema na Gati, ezala mobali to mwasi, noki te bapanza sango na ye na maloba oyo: « Tala makambo oyo Davidi asalaki. » Davidi azalaki kosala kaka bongo, tango nyonso oyo avandaki na mboka ya bato ya Filisitia.
12 Achish believed David, saying, “He has made his people Israel utterly to abhor him. Therefore he will be my servant forever.”
Akishi atielaki Davidi motema mpe alobaki: « Lokola Davidi amiyinisi na miso ya Isalaele, bato na ye, akozala mosali na ngai mpo na libela. »
