< 1 Samuel 27 >
1 And David said in his heart: “At some time, I will one day fall into the hands of Saul. Is it not better if I flee, and be saved in the land of the Philistines, so that Saul may despair and cease to seek me in all the parts of Israel? Therefore, I will flee away from his hands.”
Řekl pak David v srdci svém: Když tedyž sejdu od ruky Saulovy, nic mi lepšího není, než abych naprosto utekl do země Filistinské. I pustí o mně Saul, a nebude mne více hledati v žádných končinách Izraelských, a tak ujdu ruky jeho.
2 And David rose up and went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish, the son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
Tedy vstav David, odebral se sám i těch šest set mužů, kteříž byli s ním, k Achisovi synu Maoch, králi Gát.
3 And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men: each man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
I bydlil David s Achisem v Gát, on i muži jeho, jeden každý s čeledí svou, David i dvě ženy jeho, Achinoam Jezreelská, a Abigail Karmelská někdy žena Nábalova.
4 And it was reported to Saul that David had fled to Gath. And so, he did not continue to seek him.
A když bylo oznámeno Saulovi, že utekl David do Gát, přestal ho hledati více.
5 And David said to Achish: “If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be given to me in one of the cities of this region, so that I may live there. For why should your servant stay in the city of the king with you?”
Řekl pak David Achisovi: Prosím, jestliže jsem nalezl milost před očima tvýma, ať mi dají místo v některém městě krajiny této, abych tam bydlil; nebo proč má bydliti služebník tvůj s tebou v městě královském?
6 And so, Achish gave Ziklag to him on that day. And for this reason, Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah, even to this day.
I dal mu Achis v ten den Sicelech, odkudž Sicelech bylo králů Judských až do dne tohoto.
7 Now the number of days that David lived in the region of the Philistines was four months.
Byl pak počet dnů, v nichž bydlil David v krajině Filistinské, den a čtyři měsíce.
8 And David and his men went up and took plunder from Geshuri, and from Girzi, and from the Amalekites. For in the land long ago, these were the inhabitants of the area, going from Shur as far as the land of Egypt.
I vycházel David s muži svými, vpády činíce na Gessurské a Gerzitské a Amalechitské, (nebo ti bydlili v zemi té od starodávna), kudy se chodí přes Sur až do země Egyptské.
9 And David struck the entire land. Neither did he leave alive man or woman. And he took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the garments. And he returned and went to Achish.
A hubil David krajinu tu, nenechávaje živého muže ani ženy; bral také ovce i voly, i osly i velbloudy, i šaty, a navracoval se a přicházel k Achisovi.
10 Then Achish said to him, “Whom did you go out against today?” And David responded, “Against the south of Judah, and against the south of Jerahmeel, and against the south of Keni.”
A když se ptal Achis: Kam jste dnes vpadli? odpověděl David: K straně polední Judově, a k straně polední Jerachmeelově, a k straně polední Cinejského.
11 Neither man nor woman was left alive by David. Neither did he lead back any of them to Gath, saying, “Lest perhaps they may speak against us.” David did these things. And this was his decision during all the days that he lived in the region of the Philistines.
Neživil pak David ani muže ani ženy, aby koho přivoditi měl do Gát; nebo myslil: Aby na nás nežalovali, řkouce: Tak učinil David. A ten obyčej jeho byl po všecky dny, dokudž zůstával v krajině Filistinské.
12 Therefore, Achish trusted David, saying: “He has worked much harm against his people Israel. And so, he will be a servant to me forever.”
I věřil Achis Davidovi, řka: Jižtě se velice zošklivil lidu svému Izraelskému, protož budeť mi za služebníka na věky.
