I Samuela 29

1 HOAKOAKOA ae la na Pilisetia i ko lakou poe kaua a pau ma Apeka: a hoomoana ae la ka Iseraela ma ka waipuna aia ma Iezereela.

Now the Philistines assembled together all their camps at Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by the spring which is by Yizre'el.

2 A hele ae la na haku o na Pilisetia ma na haneri, a ma na tausani: aka, o Davida a me kona poe kanaka hele lakou mahope me Akisa.

And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; but David and his men passed on at the last with Achish.

3 Olelo mai la na'lii o na Pilisetia, I mea aha la keia poe Hebera? I aku la o Akisa i na'lii o na Pilisetia, Aole anei o Davida keia, ke kauwa a Saula, ke alii o ka Iseraela, ka mea i noho me au i neia mau la a i neia mau makahiki, aole i loaa ia'u ka mea i hewa ai oia mai ka wa i noho ai ia me au a hiki i keia la?

Then said the princes of the Philistines, What are these Hebrews to do? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Behold, this is David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me already a year, or even years, and I have not found the least in him [to blame] from the day of his joining [me] until this day?

4 Huhu iho la na'lii o na Pilisetia ia ia, a i aku la na'lii o na Pilisetia ia ia, E hoihoi aku oe i keia kanaka ma kona wahi au i hoonoho ai ia ia, a, mai hele pu ia me kakou i ke kaua, o lilo ia i enemi no kakou i ke kaua ana: no ka mea, me ke aha la e hooluolu ai ia i kona haku? Aole anei me na poo o keia poe kanaka?

And the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Cause this man to go back, that he may return to his place whither thou hast assigned him; but he shall not go down with us to the battle, that he may not become an adversary to us in the battle; for wherewith could this person reconcile himself unto his master? is it not by means of the heads of these men?

5 Aole anei o Davida keia a lakou i mele ai i kekahi i kekahi me ka haa ana, i ka i ana ae, He mau tausani ka Saula i pepehi, he umi tausani ka Davida?

Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in the dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

6 Alaila hea aku la o Akisa ia Davida, i aku la ia ia, He oiaio, ma ke ola o Iehova, he pono kou, a o kou hele ana'ku, a o kou hoi ana mai me au ma ke kaua, ua maikai no ia imua o ko'u maka: no ka mea, aole i loaa ia'u ka hewa iloko ou mai ka manawa au i hele mai ai io'u nei, a hiki i keia la: aka, aole ou pono imua o na haku.

Then did Achish call David, and say unto him, As the Lord liveth, [I declare] that thou art upright, and that thy going out and thy coming in with me in the camp is good in my eyes; for I have not found in thee any evil from the day of thy coming unto me until this day; nevertheless in the eyes of the lords thou art not good.

7 No ia mea, e hoi oe, a e hele me ke aloha, i ole ai oe e hewa imua o na haku o na Pilisetia.

And now return, and go in peace, that thou mayest not do any evil in the eyes of the lords of the Philistines.

8 I aku la o Davida ia Akisa, Heaha ka'u i hana'i? a heaha la i loaa'i ia oe iloko o kau kauwa i ko'u manawa i noho pu ai me oe a hiki i keia la, i ole ai au e hele e kaua aku i na enemi o kuu haku o ke alii?

And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant from the day that I have been before thee, until this day, that I shall not go to fight against the enemies of my Lord the king?

9 Olelo mai la o Akisa, i mai la ia Davida, Ua ike au, he pono kou imua o'u me he anela la o ke Akua; aka, ua i mai na haku o na Pilisetia, Aole ia e hele pu me kakou i ke kaua.

And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my eyes, as an angel of God; nevertheless, the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.

10 Ano hoi, e ala ae oe i kakahiaka nui me na kauwa a kou haku i hele pu mai me oe: a i ko oukou ala ana i kakahiaka nui, a malamalama, alaila hele aku.

And now rise up early in the morning with the servants of thy master that are come with thee: and rise then up early in the morning, and when ye have light, go away.

11 A ala ae la o Davida a me kona poe kanaka i kakahiaka nui e hele, a hoi aku i ka aina o na Pilisetia. A pii ae la na Pilisetia ma Iezereela.

And David and his men rose up early to go away in the morning, to return unto the land of the Philistines; but the Philistines went up to Yizre'el.
