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.

¹Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by the spring 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.

²The lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; and David and his men passed 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?

³Then the princes of the Philistines said, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, “Isn’t 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 in him since he fell away to 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?

⁴But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, “Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where you have appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us. For with what should this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Should it not be with the heads of these 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 sang one to another in dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands?’”

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.

⁶Then Achish called David, and said to him, “As Yahweh lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, the lords don’t favor you.

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

⁷Therefore now return, and go in peace, that you not displease the lords 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?

⁸David said to Achish, “But what have I done? What have you found in your servant so long as I have been before you to this day, that I may not go and fight 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.

⁹Achish answered 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.’

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.

¹⁰Therefore now rise up early in the morning with the servants of your lord who have come with you; and as soon as you are up early in the morning, and have light, depart.”

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

¹¹So David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. The Philistines went up to Jezreel.
