1 Samuel 27

1 And Dauid said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: is it not better for me that I saue my selfe in the lande of the Philistims, and that Saul may haue no hope of me to seeke me any more in all the coastes of Israel, and so escape out of his hand?

No rĩrĩ, Daudi agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũmwe nĩndĩrĩniinwo nĩ guoko gwa Saũlũ. Ũndũ ũrĩa mwega ingĩĩka nĩ kũũrĩra bũrũri wa Afilisti. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Saũlũ nĩagatiga kũnjaria kũndũ o na kũ thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, na niĩ nĩngehonokia guoko-inĩ gwake.”

2 Dauid therefore arose, and he, and the sixe hundreth men that were with him, went vnto Achish the sonne of Maoch King of Gath.

Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi na andũ magana matandatũ arĩa maarĩ nake makiuma, magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Akishi mũrũ wa Maoku, mũthamaki wa Gathu.

3 And Dauid dwelt with Achish at Gath, he, and his men, euery man with his housholde, Dauid with his two wiues, Ahinoam the Izreelite, and Abigail Nabals wife the Carmelite.

Daudi na andũ ake magĩtũũrania na Akishi kũu Gathu. Mũndũ o mũndũ aarĩ na andũ a nyũmba yake, na Daudi aarĩ na atumia ake eerĩ: Ahinoamu wa Jezireeli, na Abigaili wa Karimeli, mũtumia wa ndigwa wa Nabali.

4 And it was tolde Saul that Dauid was fled to Gath: so he sought no more for him.

Rĩrĩa Saũlũ eerirwo atĩ Daudi nĩorĩire Gathu, ndaacookire kũmũcaria rĩngĩ.

5 And Dauid saide vnto Achish, If I haue nowe founde peace in thine eyes, let them giue me a place in some other citie of the countrey, that I may dwell there: for why should thy seruant dwel in ye head citie of the kingdome with thee?

Ningĩ Daudi akĩĩra Akishi atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte maitho-inĩ maku-rĩ, reke heo handũ itũũra-inĩ rĩmwe rĩa bũrũri ũyũ, ngatũũre kuo. Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma ndungata yaku ĩtũũre itũũra rĩa ũthamaki hamwe nawe?”

6 Then Achish gaue him Ziklag that same day: therefore Ziklag pertaineth vnto the kings of Iudah vnto this day.

Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Akishi akĩmũhe Zikilagi mũthenya o ro ũcio, narĩo rĩtũire rĩrĩ rĩa athamaki a Juda kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo.

7 And the time that Dauid dwelt in the countrey of the Philistims, was foure moneths and certaine dayes.

Daudi agĩikara bũrũri wa Afilisti mwaka ũmwe na mĩeri ĩna.

8 Then Dauid and his men went vp, and inuaded the Geshurites, and the Girzites, and the Amalekites: for they inhabited the lande from the beginning, from the way, as thou goest to Shur, euen vnto the lande of Egypt.

Na rĩrĩ, Daudi na andũ ake makĩambata magĩthiĩ magĩtharĩkĩra andũ a Geshuru, na Agirizi na Aamaleki. (Kuuma tene andũ acio maatũũraga thĩinĩ wa bũrũri ũrĩa ũthiĩte ũgakinya Shuri na Misiri.)

9 And Dauid smote the lande, and left neither man nor woman aliue, and tooke sheepe, and oxen, and asses, and camels, and apparell, and returned and came to Achish.

Rĩrĩa rĩothe Daudi aatharĩkagĩra kũndũ, ndaatigagia mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja muoyo, aamoragaga agataha ngʼondu na ngʼombe, na ndigiri na ngamĩĩra, na nguo. Thuutha ũcio agacooka agathiĩ kũrĩ Akishi.

10 And Achish said, Where haue ye bene a rouing this day? And Dauid answered, Against the South of Iudah, and against the South of the Ierahmeelites, and against the South of ye Kenites.

Rĩrĩa Akishi aamũũria atĩrĩ, “Uuma gũtharĩkĩra kũ ũmũthĩ?” Daudi akamwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nyuma gũtharĩkĩra Negevu kũu Juda,” kana “Gũtharĩkĩra Negevu ya Jerameeli,” kana “Gũtharĩkĩra Negevu ya Akeni.”

11 And Dauid saued neither man nor woman aliue, to bring them to Gath, saying, Lest they should tel on vs, and say, So did Dauid, and so will be his maner all the while that he dwelleth in the countrey of the Philistims.

Ndaatigirie mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja muoyo nĩguo matwarwo Gathu, nĩ ũndũ eeciiririe atĩrĩ, “Maahota gũtũcuukanĩrĩra moige atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Daudi ekĩte.’” Na ũcio nĩguo warĩ mũtugo wake hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe aatũũrire bũrũri wa Afilisti.

12 And Achish beleeued Dauid, saying, He hath made his people of Israel vtterly to abhorre him: therefore he shalbe my seruant for euer.

Nake Akishi nĩehokete Daudi na akeĩraga atĩrĩ, “Nĩatuĩkĩte kĩndũ gĩthũũre kũrĩ andũ ake a Isiraeli, na egũtuĩka ndungata yakwa nginya tene.”
