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 in his heart, Now shall I be one day delivered [for death] into the hands of Saul; and there is no good thing for me unless I should escape into the land of the Philistines, and Saul should cease from seeking me through every coast of Israel: so I shall escape out of his hand.
2 Tedy vstav David, odebral se sám i těch šest set mužů, kteříž byli s ním, k Achisovi synu Maoch, králi Gát.
So David arose, and the six hundred men that were with him, and he went to Anchus, son Ammach, king of Geth.
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 lived with Anchus, he and his men, each with his family; and David and both his wives, Achinaam, the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
4 A když bylo oznámeno Saulovi, že utekl David do Gát, přestal ho hledati více.
And it was told Saul that David had fled to Geth; and he no longer sought after him.
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?
And David said to Anchus, If now your servant has found grace in your eyes, let them give me, I pray you, a place in one of the cities in the country, and I will dwell there: for why does your servant dwell with you in a royal city?
6 I dal mu Achis v ten den Sicelech, odkudž Sicelech bylo králů Judských až do dne tohoto.
And he gave him Sekelac in that day: therefore Sekelac came into possession of the king of Judea to this day.
7 Byl pak počet dnů, v nichž bydlil David v krajině Filistinské, den a čtyři měsíce.
And the number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was 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 an attack on all the Gesirites and on the Amalekites: and behold, the land was inhabited, (even the land from Gelampsur) by those who come from the fortified [cities] even to the land of 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 he struck the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive; and they took flocks, and herds, and asses, and camels, and raiment; and they returned and came to Anchus.
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 Anchus said to David, On whom have you made an attack today? And David said to Anchus, On the south of Judea, and on the south of Jesmega, and on the south of the Kenezite.
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.
And I have not saved man or woman alive to bring them to Geth, saying, Lest they carry a report to Geth against us, saying, These things David does. And this was his manner all the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines.
12 I věřil Achis Davidovi, řka: Jižtě se velice zošklivil lidu svému Izraelskému, protož budeť mi za služebníka na věky.
So David had the full confidence of Anchus, who said, He is thoroughly disgraced among his people in Israel and he shall be my servant for ever.
