1 Samoela 29
1 Natonto’ o nte-Pilistio e Afeke eo ty valobohò’ iareo vaho nitobe marine i rano migoangoa’ Iezreeley o ana’ Israeleo.
Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel.
2 Aa ie nandahatse o mpirai-lia’e zato naho arivoo o talèm-Pilistio, le nivoly i Akise t’i Davide naho ondati’eo.
And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rear guard with Achish.
3 Le hoe o talèm-Pilistio; Manao inoñ’ atoy o nte-Evreo? Le hoe ty natoi’ i Akise amo talèm-Pilistio, Tsy i Davide hao i mpitoro’ i Saoley nimpiamako tamy andro zay, o taoñe rezaoy? Ie mboe tsy nahatreavako hila mifototse amy nivotraha’e amako pake henaneo.
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 has 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 F’ie niboseha’ o talèm-Pilistio le hoe ty asa’ o talèm-Pilisitio ama’e: Ampolio hibalike mb’amy toetse natolo’o azey mb’eo tsy hindre aman-tika an-kotakotak’ ao tsy mone hivalike ho rafelahy t’ie mialy, inoñe ty ho fifampilongoañe soa ama’e naho i talè’ey naho tsy o loha’ ondaty retiañeo?
And the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which you have 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 Tsy ie hao i Davide nitakasie’ iereo an-tsinjake ty hoe: Zinama’ i Saole o arivo’eo naho i Davide o aleale’eo?
Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
6 Kinoi’ i Akise ama’e amy zao t’i Davide le nanao ama’e ty hoe: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, vañon-drehe, le soa am-pahatreavako ty fiavota’o naho ty fimpolia’o amy valobohòkey pak’ amy ihe nindre amakoy; le tsy nahatrea hila ama’o raho sikal’ amy andro nomba’o amako pake henaneo; f’ie tsy no’ o talèo.
Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour you not.
7 Aa le mimpolia, le mañaveloa am-panintsiñañe, tsy hanjehara’o o talèm-Pilistio.
Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that you displease not the lords of the Philistines.
8 Aa hoe t’i Davide amy Akise, Ino o nanoekoo? Ino ty nioni’o amy mpitoro’oy amo hene andro nindrezako ama’o pak’ androanio, te tsy hionjonako hialy amo rafelahin-talèko mpanjakao?
And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what have you found in your servant so long as I have been with you unto this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my lord the king?
9 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Akise amy Davide: Fantako t’ie soa am-pahatreavako, manahake ty anjelin’ Añahare; fe sinaotsi’ o talèm-Pilistio ty hoe t’ie tsy hitraok’ aman-tika hionjom-ban-kotakotake mb’eo.
And Achish answered and said to David, I know that you are 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 Aa le mañaleñaleña rekets’ o mpitoro’ i talè nindre ama’oo; le mañampitsoa, ie mazava, le miavota.
Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with your master's servants that are come with you: and as soon as all of you be up early in the morning, and have light, depart.
11 Aa le niampitso t’i Davide, ie naho ondati’eo niavotse amy maraiñey, nimpoly mb’an-tane’ o nte-Pilistio mb’eo; vaho nionjomb’e Iezreele mb’eo o nte-Pilistio.
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.
