1 A nd David said in his heart, “Now I shall perish someday by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape to the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me anymore in any part of Israel. So I shall escape out of 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 T hen David arose and went over with 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 S o David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each man with his household, and 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 A nd it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath; so he sought him no more.

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 I have now found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell 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 N ow the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was one full year and four months.

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

8 A nd David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. For those nations were the inhabitants of the land from of old, as you go 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 W henever David attacked the land, he left neither man nor woman alive, but took away the sheep, the oxen, the donkeys, the camels, and the apparel, and 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 T hen Achish would say, “Where have you made a raid today?” And David would say, “Against the southern area of Judah, or against the southern area of the Jerahmeelites, or against the southern area 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 would save neither man nor woman alive, to bring news to Gath, saying, “Lest they should inform on us, saying, ‘Thus David did.’” And thus was his behavior all the time he dwelt 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 made his people Israel utterly abhor him; therefore he will be 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.
