< Kings I 27 >
1 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.
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 arose, and the six hundred men that were with him, and he went to Anchus, son Ammach, king of Geth.
दाऊद उठे र आफू र आफूसँग भएका छ सय मानिससँगै गातका राजा माओकका छोरा आकीशकहाँ गए ।
3 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.
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 it was told Saul that David had fled to Geth; and he no longer sought after him.
दाऊद गातमा भागेर गयो भनी शाऊललाई भनियो, त्यसैले उनले तिनलाई खोज्न छोडे ।
5 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?
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 And he gave him Sekelac in that day: therefore Sekelac came into possession of the king of Judea to this day.
त्यसैले त्यो दिन आकीशले तिनलाई सिक्लग दिए । त्यसैले सिक्लग आजको दिनसम्म पनि यहूदाका राजाहरूको अधीनमा छ ।
7 And the number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was four months.
दाऊद पलिश्तीहरूको देशमा पुरा एक वर्ष चार महिनासम्म बसे ।
8 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.
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 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.
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 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.
आकीशले भन्थे, “आज तिमीले कसलाई लुट्यौ?” दाऊदले जवाफ दन्थे, “यहूदाको दक्षिणतिर” वा “यरहमेलीहरूको दक्षिणतिर” वा “केनीहरूको दक्षिणतिर ।”
11 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.
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 So David had the full confidence of Anchus, who said, He is thoroughly disgraced amongst his people in Israel and he shall 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 ।”
