1 Samuel 27
1 Na Dawid dwenee ho sɛ, “Ɛda bi, mɛtɔ wɔ Saulo nsa ano. Na deɛ mɛyɛ a ɛbɛyɛ pa ara ne sɛ, mɛdwane akɔ Filistifoɔ nkyɛn. Ɛba saa a, Saulo bɛgyae mʼakyi die na mɛnya banbɔ.”
And Dauid seide in his herte, Sumtyme Y schal falle in o dai in the hond of Saul; whether it is not betere, that Y fle, and be sauyd in the lond of Filisteis, that Saul dispeire, and cesse to seke me in alle the endis of Israel; therfor fle we hise hondis.
2 Na Dawid ne mmarima ahansia tutu kɔtenaa Gat kɔhyɛɛ Maok babarima ɔhene Akis ase.
And Dauid roos, and yede, he and sixe hundrid men with hym, to Achis, the sone of Maoth, kyng of Geth.
3 Na Dawid de ne yerenom baanu a wɔyɛ Ahinoam a ɔfiri Yesreel ne Abigail a ɔfiri Karmel a na ɔyɛ Nabal kunabaa no kɔeɛ.
And Dauid dwellide with Achis in Geth, he, and hise men, and his hows; Dauid, and hise twei wyues, Achynoem of Jezrael, and Abigail, the wijf of Nabal of Carmele.
4 Saulo tee sɛ Dawid adwane kɔ Gat no, wanni nʼakyi anhwehwɛ no bio.
And it was teld to Saul, that Dauid fledde in to Geth; and he addide no more `that he schulde seke Dauid.
5 Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Akis sɛ, “Sɛ ɛrenha wo a, ma yɛn baabi wɔ nkuro no bi so na yɛnkɔtena hɔ sene sɛ yɛbɛtena ahenkuro yi mu.”
Forsothe Dauid seide to Achis, If Y haue founden grace in thin iyen, a place be youun to me in oon of the citees of this cuntrey, that Y dwelle there; for whi dwellith thi seruaunt in the citee of the kyng with thee?
6 Enti, Akis de Siklag kuro maa no, (na ɛfiri saa ɛda no, ɛhɔ abɛyɛ Yuda ahemfo atenaeɛ de bɛsi ɛnnɛ),
Therfor Achis yaf to hym Sichelech in that dai, for which cause Sichelech was maad in to the possessioun of the kyngis of Juda `til in to this dai.
7 na wɔtenaa Filistifoɔ no mu afe ne abosome ɛnan.
Forsothe the noumbre of daies, in whiche Dauid dwellide in the cuntrei of Filisteis, was of foure monethis.
8 Afei, Dawid ne ne dɔm kɔto hyɛɛ Gesurfoɔ, Girsifoɔ ne Amalekfoɔ so. Saa nnipa yi na na kane no, wɔtete asase a ɛtene kɔ Sur a ɛwɔ Misraim ɛkwan so no.
And Dauid stiede, and hise men, and token preies of Gethsuri, and of Gethri, and of men of Amalech; for these townes weren enhabitid bi eld tyme in the lond, to men goynge to Sur, `til to the lond of Egipt.
9 Dawid annya onipa baako anikann wɔ nkura a ɔkɔto hyɛɛ wɔn so no mu. Ɔfaa nnwan, anantwie, mfunumu, nyoma ne ntadeɛ nyinaa ansa na ɔsane akɔ Akis nkyɛn.
And Dauid smoot al the lond of hem, and lefte not man `lyuynge and womman; and he took scheep, and oxun, and assis, and camels, and clothis, and turnede ayen, and cam to Achis.
10 Akis bisaa Dawid sɛ, “Ɛhe na ɛnnɛ mofom nneɛma kɔduruiɛ?” Dawid buaa sɛ, “Yɛkɔɔ Yuda anafoɔ fam, kɔto hyɛɛ Yerahmeelfoɔ ne Kenifoɔ so.”
Sotheli Achis seide to hym, `In to whom `hurliden ye to dai? Dauid answeride, Ayens the south of Juda, and ayens the south of Hiramel, and ayens the south of Ceney.
11 Dawid kumm wɔn nyinaa. Wannya obiara a ɔbɛtumi aba Gat abɛkyerɛ faako a ɔkɔeɛ. Saa adeɛ yi kɔɔ so ara wɔ ɛberɛ a na Dawid te Filistifoɔ mu no.
Dauid left not quik man and womman, nether brouyte `in to Geth, and se ide, Lest perauenture thei speken ayens vs. Dauid dide these thingis, and this was his doom, in alle daies in whiche he dwellide in the cuntrei of Filisteis.
12 Akis gyee Dawid diiɛ, na ɔdwenee ne tirim sɛ, “Saa ɛberɛ yi deɛ, Israelfoɔ bɛkyiri no kɔkɔɔkɔ. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtena ha, na ɔsom me afebɔɔ.”
Therfor Achis bileuyde to Dauid, and seide, Forsothe he wrouyte many yuelis ayens his puple Israel, therfor he schal be euerlastynge seruaunt to me.
