¹[Ny nanesorana an'i Davida tsy hiaraka tamin'ny miaramilan'ny Filistina] Ary ny Filistina dia namory ny miaramilany rehetra ho ao Afeka; fa ny Isiraely kosa nitoby teo anilan'ny loharano ao Jezirela.

¹And the Philistines gather all their camps to Aphek, and the Israelites are encamping at a fountain which [is] in Jezreel,

²Ary ireo andrianan'ny Filistina nandroso nitarika ny miaramilany isan-jato sy isan'arivo; fa Davida sy ny olony kosa nandroso teo aoriana niaraka tamin'i Akisy.

²and the princes of the Philistines are passing on by hundreds, and by thousands, and David and his men are passing on in the rear with Achish.

³Ary hoy ireo andrianan'ny Filistina: Haninona moa ireto Hebreo ireto? Ary hoy Akisy tamin'ireo andrianan'ny Filistina: Tsy io va no Davida, mpanompon'i Saoly, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, ilay tatỳ amiko elaela ihany izay, ary tsy hitako izay tsininy hatrizay nialany niandany tamiko ka mandraka androany?

³And the heads of the Philistines say, `What [are] these Hebrews?` and Achish saith unto the heads of the Philistines, `Is not this David servant of Saul king of Israel, who hath been with me these days or these years, and I have not found in him anything [wrong] from the day of his falling away till this day.`

⁴Dia tezitra taminy ireo andrianan'ny Filistina ka nanao taminy hoe: Avereno ihany ilehio ho any amin'ny fonenany izay efa nomenao azy, fa aza avela hidina hiaraka amintsika hiady izy, fandrao ho tonga fahavalontsika raha miady; fa amin'inona no hahazoan'io sitraka amin'ny tompony? Tsy amin'ny lohan'ireto olona ireto va?

⁴And the heads of the Philistines are wroth against him, and the heads of the Philistines say to him, `Send back the man, and he doth turn back unto his place whither thou hast appointed him, and doth not go down with us into battle, and is not to us for an adversary in battle; and wherewith doth this one reconcile himself unto his lord — is it not with the heads of those men?`

⁵Tsy io moa no Davida, izay nandihizany sy nanaovany hira mifamaly hoe: "Saoly nahafaty arivoarivo, Fa Davida nahafaty alinalina?"

⁵Is not this David, of whom they answer in choruses, saying, Saul hath smitten among his thousands, and David among his myriads?`

⁶Ary Akisy niantso an'i Davida ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, marina ianao, sady sitrako ny iarahanao miditra sy mivoaka amiko eto an-toby, fa tsy hitako izay tsininao hatrizay nahatongavanao teto amiko ka mandraka androany; nefa kosa tsy sitrak'ireo andriana ireo ianao.

⁶And Achish calleth unto David, and saith unto him, `Jehovah liveth, surely thou [art] upright, and good in mine eyes is thy going out, and thy coming in, with me in the camp, for I have not found in thee evil from the day of thy coming in unto me till this day; and in the eyes of the princes thou art not good;

⁷Koa miverena, ary mandehana soa aman-tsara, mba tsy hanaovanao izay tsy sitrak'ireo andrianan'ny Filistina.

⁷and now, turn back, and go in peace, and thou dost do no evil in the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.`

⁸Fa hoy Davida tamin'i Akisy: Inona no nataoko, ary inona no hitanao tamin'ny mpanomponao hatrizay nitoerako tatỳ aminao ka mandraka androany, no tsy hahazoako mandeha hiady amin'ny fahavalon'ny mpanjaka tompoko?

⁸And David saith unto Achish, `But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant from the day that I have been before thee till this day — that I go not in and have fought against the enemies of my lord the king?`

⁹Ary Akisy namaly an'i Davida hoe: Fantatro fa tsara eo imasoko tahaka ny anjelin'Andriamanitra ianao; nefa ireo andrianan'ny Filistina no nanao hoe: Tsy hiara-miakatra amintsika hiady izy.

⁹And Achish answereth and saith unto David, `I have known that thou [art] good in mine eyes as a messenger of God; only, the princes of the Philistines have said, He doth not go up with us into battle;

¹⁰Koa mifohaza maraina koa ianao mbamin'ny mpanompon'ny tomponao izay nanaraka anao; ary rehefa nifoha maraina ianareo, ka mazava ny andro, dia mandehana.Ary Davida sy ny olony nifoha maraina koa handeha maraina hiverina any amin'ny tanin'ny Filistina. Ary ny Filistina dia niakatra nankany Jezirela.

¹⁰and now, rise thou early in the morning, and the servants of thy lord who have come with thee, when ye have risen early in the morning, and have light, then go ye.`

¹¹Ary Davida sy ny olony nifoha maraina koa handeha maraina hiverina any amin'ny tanin'ny Filistina. Ary ny Filistina dia niakatra nankany Jezirela.

¹¹And David riseth early, he and his men, to go in the morning, to turn back unto the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines have gone up to Jezreel.
