1 Samuel 27
1 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.
दाऊदले आफ्नो मनमा भने, “म कुनै दिन शाऊलको हातबाट नष्ट हुन्छु । मलाई पलिश्तीहरूको देशमा उम्केर जानुभन्दा उत्तम अरू केही हुँदैन । शाऊलले इस्राएलको सबै सिमानाभित्र मलाई खोज्न छोड्नेछ । यसरी म तिनको हातबाट उम्कनेछु ।”
2 So David and the six hundred men who were with him went over to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
दाऊद उठे र आफू र आफूसँग भएका छ सय मानिससँगै गातका राजा माओकका छोरा आकीशकहाँ गए ।
3 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.
दाऊद र तिनीसँग भएका मानिसहरू, तिनका आफ्नै घरानाका हरेक मानिस, र दाऊदका आफ्नी दई जना पत्नी यिजरेली अहीनोम र नाबालकी पत्नी कार्मेली स्त्री अबीगेल गातमा आकीशसँग बसे ।
4 And Saul, hearing that David had gone to Gath, went after him no longer.
दाऊद गातमा भागेर गयो भनी शाऊललाई भनियो, त्यसैले उनले तिनलाई खोज्न छोडे ।
5 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.
दाऊदले आकीशलाई भने, “मैले तपाईंको दृष्टिमा निगाह पाएको छु भने, देशभित्रका सहरमध्ये मलाई एउटा ठाउँ दिनुहोस्, ताकि म त्यहाँ बस्न सकूँ । तपाईंको दास तपाईंसँग राजकीय सहरमा किन बस्नु?”
6 So Achish straight away gave him Ziklag: and for that reason Ziklag has been the property of the kings of Judah to this day.
त्यसैले त्यो दिन आकीशले तिनलाई सिक्लग दिए । त्यसैले सिक्लग आजको दिनसम्म पनि यहूदाका राजाहरूको अधीनमा छ ।
7 And David was living in the land of the Philistines for the space of a year and four months.
दाऊद पलिश्तीहरूको देशमा पुरा एक वर्ष चार महिनासम्म बसे ।
8 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.
दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरूले विभिन्न ठाउँहरू आक्रमण गरेर गशूरीहरू, गिज्रीहरू र अमालेकीहरूलाई लूटे । किनभने तिनीहरू शूरतिर जाँदा मिश्रदेशसम्म बस्ने त्यस देशका बासिन्दाहरू थिए । तिनीहरू त्यस देशमा प्राचीनकालदेखि बस्दै आएका थिए ।
9 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.
दाऊदले त्यो देशलाई आक्रमण गरे र न पुरुष न त स्त्रीलाई जीवित राखे । तिनले भेडाहरू, गोरुहरू, गधाहरू, ऊँटहरू र लुगाफाटा लगे । तिनी फर्कन्थे र आकीशकहाँ आउँथे ।
10 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.
आकीशले भन्थे, “आज तिमीले कसलाई लुट्यौ?” दाऊदले जवाफ दन्थे, “यहूदाको दक्षिणतिर” वा “यरहमेलीहरूको दक्षिणतिर” वा “केनीहरूको दक्षिणतिर ।”
11 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.
दाऊदले, “तिनीहरूले हाम्रोबारे 'दाऊदले यसो-यसो गरे' भन्न नसकून्” भनेर गातमा ल्याउनलाई न पुरुष न त स्त्रीलाई जीवित राख्थे । तिनी पलिश्तीहरूको देशमा बस्दा तिनले गरेका सबै कुरा यही थियो ।
12 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.
आकीशले यसो भन्दै दाऊदलाई विश्वास गरे, “इस्राएलका मानिसले तिनलाई पूर्ण रूपमा घृणा गर्ने तिनले बनाएका छन् । यसकारण तिनी सदाको निम्ति मेरो सेवक हुनेछन् ।”
