Sie Samuel 29

1 Mwet Philistia elos pangoneni mwet mweun lalos nukewa nu Aphek, ac mwet Israel elos tulokinya nien aktuktuk lalos sisken unon in kof se ke Infahlfal Jezreel.

Now the Philistines gathered together all their army at Aphek; the Israelites camped by the spring that is in Jezreel.

2 Tokosra limekosr lun mwet Philistia elos takla fahsr wi kais siofok ac kais tausin mwet mweun lalos. David ac mwet lal elos welul Tokosra Achish fahsr tok.

The princes of the Philistines passed on by hundreds and by thousands; David and his men passed on in the rear guard with Achish.

3 Na captain lun un mwet mweun Philistia elos liyalos ac siyuk, “Mea mwet Hebrew inge oru uh?” Tokosra Achish el topuk, “David pa inge. El sie mwet pwapa lun un mwet mweun lal Saul, tokosra lun mwet Israel. El muta yuruk paht kutu, ac wanginna ma nga liye el oru koluk, ke len se el tuku wiyula nwe inge.”

Then the princes of the Philistines said, “What are these Hebrews doing here?” Achish said to the other princes of the Philistines, “Is not this David, the servant of Saul, the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault with him since he came away to me to this day?”

4 Tusruktu captain lun mwet Philistia inge elos mulat sel Tokosra Achish, ac fahk nu sel, “Folokunla mwet se ingan nu ke siti se ma kom sang lal ah. Nimet fuhlela elan wi kut mweun. Sahp el ac tuh forma lain kut ke mweun uh. Mea wo mwet se inge el ku in oru in akwoyalla nu sin leum lal sayen mwet lasr inge in misa?

But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him and said, “Send the man back, that he may return to the place you assigned him. He will not go down with us into battle, for he will turn against us during the fighting. For how else could he make himself acceptable to his master than by taking the heads of our own men?

5 Esam lah David pa inge, mwet se na ma mutan uh onkakin ac onsrosro kac ac fahk, ‘Saul el uniya tausin, a David el uniya ngoul tausin.’”

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

6 Na Tokosra Achish el pangnolma David ac fahk nu sel, “Nga fulahk ye mutun God moul lun Israel lah kom arulana pwaye nu sik, ac nga arulana insewowo tuh kom in wiyu som mweun inge. Nga soenna konauk kutena ma sufal in kom, e ke na len se ma kom tuku nu yuruk ah nwe misenge. Tusruktu, tokosra wiuk inge elos alolo sum.

Then Achish called David and said to him, “As Yahweh lives, you have been good, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my view; for I have found nothing wrong with you since the day of your coming to me to this very day. Nevertheless, the princes are not favorable to you.

7 Tari, kom folokla nu in acn sum in misla, ac nimet oru kutena ma in aktoasryalos.”

So now return and go in peace, so that you do not displease the princes of the Philistines.”

8 David el topuk, “Leum luk, ku mea nga oru sufal? Fin pwaye lah kom soenna konauk kutena ma sufal yuruk ke nga mutawauk in kulansupwekom nwe misenge, oana ma kom fahk inge, na efu ku nga kofla in wi mweuni mwet lokoalok lom, lah kom pa leum luk ac tokosra luk?”

David said to Achish, “But what have I done? What have you found in your servant as long as I have been before you to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my master the king?”

9 Tokosra Achish el topuk, “Aok, pwaye sum. Nga akilen mu suwohs lom oana suwohs lun sie lipufan lun God. Tusruktu, tokosra wiuk inge elos fahk tari mu kom tia ku in wi kut mweun.

Achish answered and said to David, “I know that you are as blameless in my sight as an angel of God; nevertheless, the princes of the Philistines have said, 'He must not go up with us to the battle.'

10 Na pa lututang kowos nukewa su tuku lukel Saul nu yuruk, kowos toang tukakek ac folokla nu yen suwos ke tufahna kalmelik.”

So now rise up early in the morning with the servants of your master who have come with you; as soon as you are up early in the morning and have light, go away.”

11 Ouinge David ac mwet lal elos toang tukakek ke lotu tok ah, ac folok nu yen selos in acn Philistia, ac mwet Philistia elos fahlana nu Jezreel.

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