1Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by the spring 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.
2The lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rear 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 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?”
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.»
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?
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 has slain his thousands, 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 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.
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.
7Therefore now return, and go in peace, that you not displease the lords of the Philistines.”
7 Sohõ binde, kala ni ma bare, ma koy baani. Ni ma si Filistancey soojey arkusey biney sara.»
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?”
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?»
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.’
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.›
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.”
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 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.
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.
