I Samuel 29

1 Ita, inummong dagiti Filisteo ti armadada idiay Afec; nagkampo dagiti Israelita iti igid ti ubbog nga adda idiay Jezreel.

NOW the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel.

2 Immuna a nagmartsa dagiti prinsipe dagiti Filisteo a ginasutgasut ken riniburibu; simmaruno da David ken dagiti tattaona a nagmartsa iti malikudan dagiti mangbanbantay kenni Akis.

And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rereward with Achish.

3 Kalpasanna, kinuna dagiti prinsipe dagiti Filisteo, “Ania ti ar-aramiden dagiti Hebreo ditoy?” Kinuna ni Akis kadagiti dadduma a prinsipe dagiti Filisteo, “Daytoy a David nga adipen ni Saul nga ari ti Israel, a nakadkaduak agingga kadagitoy nga aldaw wenno agingga pay kadagitoy a tawtawen, ket awan masarakak a biddut kenkuana sipud pay immay.”

Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day?

4 Ngem nakaunget dagiti prinsipe dagiti Filisteo kenkuana; kinunada kenkuana, “Papanawem dayta a tao, tapno agsubli iti lugarna nga intedmo kenkuana; saanmo nga itulok a kumuyog kadatayo iti paggugubatan, tapno saan nga agbalin a kabusortayo iti paggugubatan. Ta kasano koma a makikapia daytoy a tao iti apona? Saan kadi a babaen iti panangpapatayna kadagiti tattaotayo?

And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary to us: for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master? should it not be with the heads of these men?

5 Saan kadi a daytoy ti David a kankantaanda iti panagsalsalada, a kunkunada: 'Rinibu ti pinatay ni Saul ngem sangapulo a ribu kenni David?”'

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

6 Inayaban ngarud ni Akis ni David ket kinunana kenkuana, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, ammok a naimbagka, ket ti iyuumay ken ikukuyogmo kaniak iti armada ket nasayaat iti panagkitak; ta awan ti nasarakak a biddut kenka manipud iti aldaw nga immayka kaniak agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw. Nupay kasta, saan nga umanamong kenka dagiti prinsipe.

Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the Lord liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not.

7 Isu nga ita agsublika ket mapanka a sitatalna tapno saanmo a mapagpungtot dagiti prinsipe dagiti Filisteo.

Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.

8 Kinuna ni David kenni Akis, “Ngem ania kadi ti naaramidko? Ania ti nasarakam iti adipenmo sipud idi agingga ita nga aldaw, tapno saan a mabalin a makikuyogak a mapan makiranget kadagiti kabusor ti apok nga ari?”

And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee unto this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my lord the king?

9 Simmungbat ni Akis ket kinunana kenni David, “Ammok nga awan ti pakapilawam iti imatangko a kas iti anghel ti Dios; nupay kasta, kinuna dagiti prinsipe dagiti Filisteo, 'Saan a mabalin a makikuyog isuna kadatayo a mapan makigubat.'

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

10 Isu nga ita, masapaka a bumangon inton bigat agraman dagiti adipen ti apom a simmurot kenka; apaman a makarubbuatkayo inton bigat, pumanawkayon.”

Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy master’s servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart.

11 Isu a ni David, ken dagiti tattaona, nasapa a nagrubbuat tapno makasublida iti daga dagiti Filisteo. Ngem simmang-at dagiti Filisteo idiay Jezreel.

So David and his men rose up early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
