1 Samuel 29
1 Og Filisterne havde samlet alle deres Lejre i Afek, og Israel lejrede sig ved den Kilde, som er udi Jisreel.
Then all the troops of the Philistines were gathered together at Aphek. But Israel also made camp, above the spring which is in Jezreel.
2 Og Filisternes Fyrster gik over med Hundreder og med Tusinder; men David og hans Mænd gik over til sidst med Akis.
And indeed, the princes of the Philistines advanced by hundreds and by thousands; but David and his men were in the rear with Achish.
3 Da sagde Filisternes Fyrster: Hvad skulle disse Hebræer? Og Akis sagde til Filisternes Fyrster: Er det ikke David, Sauls, Israels Konges, Tjener, som nu har været hos mig i Aar og Dag, og jeg har ikke fundet noget hos ham, siden den Tid, han faldt fra, indtil denne Dag?
And the leaders of the Philistines said to Achish, “What do these Hebrews intend to do?” And Achish said to the leaders of the Philistines: “Could you be ignorant about David, who was the servant of Saul, the king of Israel, and who has been with me for many days, even years, and I have not found within him anything, from the day that he fled to me, even to this day?”
4 Men Filisternes Fyrster bleve vrede paa ham, og Filisternes Fyrster sagde til ham: Lad den Mand gaa bort og vende tilbage til sit Sted, hvor du har beskikket ham hen, men han skal ikke drage ned med os i Krigen, at han ikke skal blive os en Modstander i Krigen; thi hvormed kunde denne gøre sig selv behagelig hos sin Herre? mon ikke med disse Mænds Hoveder?
Then the leaders of the Philistines became angry against him, and they said to him: “Let this man return, and let him settle in his place, which you appointed for him. But let him not descend with us to battle, lest he become an adversary to us when we begin to fight. For in what other way will he be able to please his lord, except with our heads?
5 Mon denne ikke være David, om hvilken de sang mod hverandre i Dansene, sigende: Saul slog sine Tusinde, men David sine Titusinde?
Is not this the David, about whom they were singing, while dancing, saying: ‘Saul struck down his thousands, but David his ten thousands?’”
6 Da kaldte Akis ad David og sagde til ham: Saa vist som Herren lever, du er oprigtig, og din Udgang og din Indgang med mig i Lejren er god for mine Øjne, thi jeg har intet ondt fundet hos dig, fra den Dag du kom til mig, indtil denne Dag; men du er ikke god for Fyrsternes Øjne.
Therefore, Achish called David, and he said to him: “As the Lord lives, you are good and righteous in my sight, even in your departure and your return with me in the military camp. And I have not found anything evil in you, from the day that you came to me, even to this day. But you are not pleasing to the princes.
7 Saa vend nu tilbage og gak i Fred, at du ikke skal gøre det, som er ondt for Filisternes Fyrsters Øjne.
Therefore, return, and go in peace, so that you do not offend the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.”
8 Da sagde David til Akis: Men hvad har jeg gjort? eller hvad har du fundet hos din Tjener, fra den Dag, jeg har været for dit Ansigt indtil denne Dag, at jeg ikke maa komme og stride imod min Herre Konges Fjender?
And David said to Achish, “But what have I done, or what have you found in me, your servant, from the day that I was in your sight to this day, so that I may not go out and fight against the enemies of my lord, the king?”
9 Og Akis svarede og sagde til David: Jeg ved det, thi du er god for mine Øjne, som en Guds Engel; dog have Filisternes Fyrster sagt: Lad ham ikke drage op med os i Krigen.
And in response, Achish said to David: “I know that you are good in my sight, like an angel of God. But the leaders of the Philistines have said: ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’
10 Saa staa du nu tidlig op i Morgen, du og din Herres Tjenere, som ere komne med dig; og naar I ere tidligen opstandne i Morgen, og det er lyst for eder, saa gaar bort!
And so, rise up in the morning, you and the servants of your lord who came with you. And when you have risen up in the night, as it begins to be light, go forth.”
11 Saa stod David tidligen op, han og hans Mænd, for at gaa bort om Morgenen og komme tilbage til Filisternes Land; og Filisterne droge op imod Jisreel.
And so David rose up in the night, he and his men, so that they might set out in the morning. And they returned to the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines ascended to Jezreel.
