1Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel.
1 Filistancey na ngey wongu marga margu ka kaa Afek. Israyla mo na gata sinji hari zurey mwa gaa kaŋ go Yezreyel ra.
2And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rearward with Achish.
2 Filistancey soojey arkusey soobay ka bisa zangu-zangu nda zambar-zambar. Dawda mo, nga nda nga borey margu. Acis mo go i ra jama banda.
3Then 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?
3 Kala Filistancey soojey arkusey ne: «Ibraniyance woone yaŋ binde, ifo no i goono ga te neewo?» Acis ne Filistancey soojey arkusey se: «Woone manti Dawda no, Sawulu Israyla bonkoono tamo kaŋ go ay banda jirbey wo? Oho, jiirey wo ay mana di taali kulu a gaa mo, za han kaŋ hane a ye ay do ka kaa hunkuna.»
4And 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?
4 Amma Filistance wongu nyaŋey te a se bine. Filistancey koyey binde ne a se: «Bora din ma bare ka koy nga nango do, nango kaŋ ni n'a no din. A ma si zulli ka koy iri banda wongo do. A ma si koy ka ciya iri gaabakasina yanja ra. Zama ifo no boro wo ga du kaŋ ga nga da nga jine bora sasabandi nd'a, da manti borey wo boŋey?
5Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
5 Woone manti Dawda no kaŋ se i na doono din te i gaano do, i goono ga ne: ‹Sawulu na nga zambarey wi, Dawda mo nga zambar-zambarey?› »
6Then 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 favor thee not.
6 Waato din gaa Acis na Dawda ce ka ne a se: «Ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono, ni na naanay alhaali cabe. Koy-da-ye kulu kaŋ ni te wongu marga ra ay banda, ihanno no ay wo do. Zama ay mana di laala kulu ni gaa za han kaŋ hane ni kaa ay do ka kaa hala sohõ. Kulu nda yaadin, soojey arkusey mana yadda nda nin.
7Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.
7 Sohõ binde, kala ni ma bare, ma koy baani. Ni ma si Filistancey soojey arkusey biney sara.»
8And 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?
8 Dawda ne Acis se: «Day ifo no ay te? Wala ifo no ni gar ay, ni bannya do duumi kaŋ ay go ni banda ka kaa hala sohõ, kaŋ ga naŋ ay ma si koy bonkoono ay koyo banda wongu ra ka wongu nda bonkooni ay koyo yanjekaarey?»
9And 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.
9 Acis tu ka ne Dawda se: «Ay bay kaŋ ni ya boro hanno no ay wo do, danga Irikoy malayka cine. Kulu nda yaadin, Filistance soojey arkusey ne: ‹A si koy iri banda wongo do.›
10Wherefore 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.
10 Kala ni ma biya nda ni jine bora bannyey kaŋ yaŋ kaa ni banda. Araŋ tunanta susubay, waato kaŋ hananyaŋo wasa araŋ se, kala araŋ ma araŋ diraw te.»
11So 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.
11 Dawda binde biya ka tun, nga nda nga borey, zama ngey ma tun da hinay, ngey ma ye Filistancey laabo ra. Filistancey binde kaaru ka koy Yezreyel.
