1 Samuel 27
1 David said in his heart, “I will now perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel. So I will escape out of his hand.”
Un Dāvids domāja savā sirdī: taču man kādā dienā nāks gals caur Saula roku; man labuma nav, ja es glābtin neglābjos uz Fīlistu zemi, lai Sauls mitās mani joprojām meklēt visās Israēla robežās; tā es no viņa rokas izglābšos.
2 David arose and passed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
Tad Dāvids cēlās un gāja ar tiem sešsimt vīriem, kas pie viņa bija, pie Aķisa, Maoka dēla, Gatas ķēniņa.
3 David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife.
Un Dāvids palika pie Aķisa Gatā, pats un viņa vīri, ikkatrs ar savu namu, Dāvids ar savām abām sievām, Aķinoamu, to Jezreēlieti, un Abigaīli, Nābala sievu, to Karmelieti.
4 Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, so he stopped looking for him.
Kad nu Saulam sacīja, ka Dāvids aizbēdzis uz Gatu, tad viņš to vairs nemeklēja.
5 David said to Achish, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?”
Un Dāvids sacīja uz Aķisu: ja es žēlastību esmu atradis priekš tavām acīm, tad lai man dod vietu vienā zemes pilsētā, ka es tur dzīvoju; jo kāpēc tavam kalpam ķēniņa pilsētā pie tevis būs dzīvot?
6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day.
Tad Aķis viņam tai dienā deva Ciklagu. Tāpēc Ciklaga Jūda ķēniņiem pieder līdz šai dienai.
7 The number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
Un tas laiks, ko Dāvids Fīlistu zemē mita, bija viens gads un četri mēneši.
8 David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for those were the inhabitants of the land who were of old, on the way to Shur, even to the land of Egypt.
Un Dāvids cēlās ar saviem vīriem un uzbruka Gešuriešiem un Ģirziešiem un Amalekiešiem, jo tie citkārt bija tie zemes iedzīvotāji līdz Šurai un Ēģiptes zemei.
9 David struck the land, and saved no man or woman alive, and took away the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned, and came to Achish.
Un Dāvids kāva to zemi un nepameta dzīvus ne vīrus, ne sievas un ņēma avis un vēršus un ēzeļus un kamieļus un drēbes, un griezās atpakaļ un nāca pie Aķisa.
10 Achish said, “Against whom have you made a raid today?” David said, “Against the South of Judah, against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.”
Kad nu Aķis sacīja: kur jūs šodien esat ielauzušies? Tad Dāvids sacīja: pret dienasvidu iekš Jūda, un pret dienasvidu pie Jerameliešiem, un pret dienasvidu pie Keniešiem.
11 David saved neither man nor woman alive to bring them to Gath, saying, “Lest they should tell about us, saying, ‘David did this, and this has been his way all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.’”
Un Dāvids ne vīrus, ne sievas nepameta dzīvus, ka tie netiktu uz Gatu; jo viņš sacīja: lai nenes vēsti pret mums, sacīdami: tā Dāvids mums ir darījis. Un tāds bija viņa darbs, cik ilgi tas Fīlistu zemē dzīvoja.
12 Achish believed David, saying, “He has made his people Israel utterly to abhor him. Therefore he will be my servant forever.”
Un Aķis ticēja Dāvidam un domāja, viņš sev smirdošu darījies priekš saviem Israēla ļaudīm, tāpēc viņš man mūžam būs par kalpu.
