1 Samuelova 27
1 Řekl pak David v srdci svém: Když tedyž sejdu od ruky Saulovy, nic mi lepšího není, než abych naprosto utekl do země Filistinské. I pustí o mně Saul, a nebude mne více hledati v žádných končinách Izraelských, a tak ujdu ruky jeho.
And David said to himself, Some day death will come to me by the hand of Saul: the only thing for me to do is to get away into the land of the Philistines; then Saul will give up hope of taking me in any part of the land of Israel: and so I may be able to get away from him.
2 Tedy vstav David, odebral se sám i těch šest set mužů, kteříž byli s ním, k Achisovi synu Maoch, králi Gát.
So David and the six hundred men who were with him went over to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3 I bydlil David s Achisem v Gát, on i muži jeho, jeden každý s čeledí svou, David i dvě ženy jeho, Achinoam Jezreelská, a Abigail Karmelská někdy žena Nábalova.
And David and his men were living with Achish at Gath; every man had his family with him, and David had his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, who had been the wife of Nabal.
4 A když bylo oznámeno Saulovi, že utekl David do Gát, přestal ho hledati více.
And Saul, hearing that David had gone to Gath, went after him no longer.
5 Řekl pak David Achisovi: Prosím, jestliže jsem nalezl milost před očima tvýma, ať mi dají místo v některém městě krajiny této, abych tam bydlil; nebo proč má bydliti služebník tvůj s tebou v městě královském?
Then David said to Achish, If now I have grace in your eyes, let me have a place in one of the smaller towns of your land, to be my living-place; for it is not right for your servant to be living with you in the king's town.
6 I dal mu Achis v ten den Sicelech, odkudž Sicelech bylo králů Judských až do dne tohoto.
So Achish straight away gave him Ziklag: and for that reason Ziklag has been the property of the kings of Judah to this day.
7 Byl pak počet dnů, v nichž bydlil David v krajině Filistinské, den a čtyři měsíce.
And David was living in the land of the Philistines for the space of a year and four months.
8 I vycházel David s muži svými, vpády činíce na Gessurské a Gerzitské a Amalechitské, (nebo ti bydlili v zemi té od starodávna, ) kudy se chodí přes Sur až do země Egyptské.
And David and his men went up and made attacks on the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites; for these were the people who were living in the land from Telam on the way to Shur, as far as Egypt.
9 A hubil David krajinu tu, nenechávaje živého muže ani ženy; bral také ovce i voly, i osly i velbloudy, i šaty, a navracoval se a přicházel k Achisovi.
And David again and again made attacks on the land till not a man or a woman was still living; and he took away the sheep and the oxen and the asses and the camels and the clothing; and he came back to Achish.
10 A když se ptal Achis: Kam jste dnes vpadli? odpověděl David: K straně polední Judově, a k straně polední Jerachmeelově, a k straně polední Cinejského.
And every time Achish said, Where have you been fighting today? David said, Against the South of Judah and the South of the Jerahmeelites and the South of the Kenites.
11 Neživil pak David ani muže ani ženy, aby koho přivoditi měl do Gát; nebo myslil: Aby na nás nežalovali, řkouce: Tak učinil David. A ten obyčej jeho byl po všecky dny, dokudž zůstával v krajině Filistinské.
Not one living man or woman did David ever take back with him to Gath, fearing that they might give an account of what had taken place, and say, This is what David did, and so has he been doing all the time while he has been living in the land of the Philistines.
12 I věřil Achis Davidovi, řka: Jižtě se velice zošklivil lidu svému Izraelskému, protož budeť mi za služebníka na věky.
And Achish had belief in what David said, saying, He has made himself hated by all his people Israel, and so he will be my servant for ever.
