1 Samuel 27
1 David, however, said to himself, “One of these days now I will be swept away by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will stop searching for me all over Israel, and I will slip out of his hand.”
David je v svojem srcu rekel: »Sedaj bom nekega dne umrl po Savlovi roki. Zame ni nič boljšega, kakor da bi hitro pobegnil v deželo Filistejcev in Savel bo obupal nad menoj, da me še išče v kateremkoli območju Izraela. Tako bom pobegnil iz njegove roke.«
2 So David set out with his six hundred men and went to Achish son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
David se je dvignil in šel preko s šeststo možmi, ki so bili z njim, k Ahíšu, Maóhovemu sinu, kralju Gata.
3 David and his men settled in Gath with Achish. Each man had his family with him, and David had his two wives: Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail of Carmel, the widow of Nabal.
David je prebival z Ahíšem v Gatu, on in njegovi možje, vsak mož s svojo družino, David s svojima dvema ženama, Jezreélko Ahinóam in Karmelčanko Abigájilo, Nabálovo ženo.
4 And when Saul learned that David had fled to Gath, he no longer searched for him.
To je bilo povedano Savlu, da je David pobegnil v Gat in ni ga več ponovno iskal.
5 Then David said to Achish, “If I have found favor in your eyes, let me be assigned a place in one of the outlying towns, so I can live there. For why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”
David je rekel Ahíšu: »Če sem torej našel milost v tvojih očeh, naj mi dajo prostor v nekem mestu v deželi, da bom tam lahko prebival, kajti zakaj bi tvoj služabnik prebival s teboj v kraljevem mestu?«
6 That day Achish gave him Ziklag, and to this day it still belongs to the kings of Judah.
Potem mu je Ahíš ta dan izročil Ciklág. Zato Ciklág pripada Judovim kraljem do tega dne.
7 And the time that David lived in Philistine territory amounted to a year and four months.
Časa, ko je David prebival v deželi Filistejcev, je bil polno leto in štiri mesece.
8 Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. (From ancient times these people had inhabited the land extending to Shur and Egypt.)
David in njegovi možje so odšli gor in vdrli h Gešuréjcem, Girzéjcem in Amalečanom, kajti ti narodi so bili od davnine prebivalci dežele, kakor greš v Šur, celo v egiptovsko deželo.
9 Whenever David attacked a territory, he did not leave a man or woman alive, but he took the flocks and herds, the donkeys, camels, and clothing. Then he would return to Achish,
David je udaril deželo in ni pustil živega niti moškega niti ženske in odvedel ovce, vole, osle, kamele, obleke in se vrnil in prišel k Ahíšu.
10 who would ask him, “What have you raided today?” And David would reply, “The Negev of Judah,” or “The Negev of Jerahmeel,” or “The Negev of the Kenites.”
Ahíš je rekel: »Kam ste danes vpadli?« David je rekel: »Zoper južni Juda in zoper jug Jerahmeélovcev in zoper jug Kenéjcev.«
11 David did not leave a man or woman alive to be brought to Gath, for he said, “Otherwise they will report us, saying, ‘This is what David did.’” And this was David’s custom the whole time he lived in Philistine territory.
David ni rešil živega niti moškega niti ženske, da prinesejo novice v Gat, rekoč: »Da ne bi povedali o nas, rekoč: ›Tako je storil David in takšen bo njegov način, vse dokler on prebiva v deželi Filistejcev.‹«
12 So Achish trusted David, thinking, “Since he has made himself an utter stench to his people Israel, he will be my servant forever.”
Ahíš je verjel Davidu, rekoč: »Svojemu ljudstvu Izraelu je storil, da ga popolnoma prezira, zato bo on moj služabnik na veke.«
