1 T hen David said to himself, “Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape into the land of the Philistines. Saul then will despair of searching for me anymore in all the territory of Israel, and I will escape from his hand.”

Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu isyidhi, Maalin uun baan gacanta Saa'uul ku dhiman doonaa; haddaba wax iiga wanaagsan ma jiro inaan dalka reer Falastiin u baxsado mooyaane; oo Saa'uulna wuu iga quusan doonaa, oo mar dambe xuduudka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan igama doondooni doono; oo saas ayaan gacantiisa kaga baxsan doonaa.

2 S o David arose and crossed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

Markaasaa Daa'uud kacay oo gudbay, isagii iyo lixdii boqol oo nin ee isaga la joogay, oo waxay u yimaadeen Aakiish oo ahaa ina Maacoog, kaasoo ahaa boqorkii Gad.

3 A nd David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s widow.

Oo Daa'uudna Aakiish buu la joogi jiray Gad, isagii iyo raggiisiiba, oo nin waluba reerkiisii wuu watay, oo xataa Daa'uud wuu watay labadiisii naagood, kuwaasoo ahaa Axiinocam tii reer Yesreceel iyo Abiigayil tii reer Karmel oo Naabaal u dhaxday.

4 N ow it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.

Markaasaa Saa'uul waxaa loo soo sheegay in Daa'uud u cararay xagga Gad, oo isna mar dambe ma uusan doondoonin.

5 T hen David said to Achish, “If now I have found favor in your sight, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may live there; for why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”

Kolkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Aakiish ku yidhi, Haddaba haddaad raalli iga tahay, magaalooyinka duurka ku yaal meel ha iga siiyeen, aan halkaas iska degee, waayo, bal anoo addoonkaaga ah maxaan magaalada reer boqor kuula degganahay?

6 S o Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.

Maalintaasaa Aakiish siiyey Siiqlag, oo sidaas aawadeed Siiqlag ilaa maanta waxaa iska leh boqorrada dalka Yahuudah.

7 T he number of days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months.

Oo maalmihii Daa'uud joogay duurka reer Falastiin tiradoodu waxay ahayd sannad dhan iyo afar bilood.

8 N ow David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites; for they were the inhabitants of the land from ancient times, as you come to Shur even as far as the land of Egypt.

Markaasaa Daa'uud iyo raggiisii u keceen inay weeraraan reer Geshuur, iyo reer Geser, iyo reer Camaaleq, waayo, quruumahaas ayaa waagii hore dalka degganaa, oo waxay degganaayeen ilaa Shuur iyo xataa tan iyo dalka Masar.

9 D avid attacked the land and did not leave a man or a woman alive, and he took away the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned and came to Achish.

Markaasaa Daa'uud dalkii weeraray, oo nololna kuma uu dayn nin iyo naag toona, wuxuuna la tegey idihii, iyo dibidii, iyo dameerrihii, iyo geelii, iyo dharkii, dabadeedna wuu soo noqday, oo Aakiish u yimid.

10 N ow Achish said, “Where have you made a raid today?” And David said, “Against the Negev of Judah and against the Negev of the Jerahmeelites and against the Negev of the Kenites.”

Markaasaa Aakiish wuxuu ku yidhi, Yaad maanta soo dhacdeen? Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu yidhi, Waxaannu weerarnay xagga koonfureed oo dalka Yahuudah, iyo xagga koonfureed oo reer Yeraxme'eel iyo xagga koonfureed oo reer Qeyn.

11 D avid did not leave a man or a woman alive to bring to Gath, saying, “Otherwise they will tell about us, saying, ‘So has David done and so has been his practice all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.’”

Oo Daa'uudna nolol kuma uu dayn nin iyo naag toona, inuu Gad keeno aawadeed, waayo, wuxuu isyidhi, Waaba intaasoo ay inagu sheekaystaan oo yidhaahdaan, Daa'uud saasuu yeelay, caadadiisuna saasay ahayd intuu duurka reer Falastiin degganaa oo dhan.

12 S o Achish believed David, saying, “He has surely made himself odious among his people Israel; therefore he will become my servant forever.”

Aakiishna Daa'uud buu aaminay, oo wuxuu isyidhi, Isagu dadkiisii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan wuu isku diray oo aad bay u karahsadeen isaga; sidaas daraaddeed isagu wuxuu ii ahaan doonaa addoon weligiisba.
