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.”
Али Давид рече у срцу свом: Погинућу кадгод од руке Саулове; нема боље за ме него да побегнем у земљу филистејску, те ће ме се Саул оканити и неће ме више тражити по крајевима Израиљевим; тако ћу се избавити из руку његових.
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.
Тада се подиже Давид и отиде са шест стотина људи који беху с њим к Ахису, сину Моаховом, цару гатском.
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.
И оста Давид код Ахиса у Гату и људи његови, сваки са својом породицом, Давид са две жене своје, Ахиноамом из Језраела и Авигејом из Кармила, женом Наваловом.
4 And it was reported to Saul that David had fled to Gath. And so, he did not continue to seek him.
И кад јавише Саулу да је Давид утекао у Гат, преста га тражити.
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?”
А Давид рече Ахису: Ако сам нашао милост пред тобом, нека ми даду место у коме граду ове земље, да седим онде, јер зашто да седи слуга твој с тобом у царском граду?
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.
И даде му Ахис оног дана Сиклаг. Зато Сиклаг припада царевима Јудиним до данашњег дана.
7 Now the number of days that David lived in the region of the Philistines was four months.
И оста Давид у земљи филистејској годину и четири месеца.
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.
И излажаше Давид са својим људима, и удараше на Гесуреје и Герзеје и на Амалике; јер ти народи живљаху од старине у оној земљи од Сура па до земље мисирске.
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.
И пустошаше Давид ону земљу не остављајући у животу ни човека ни жене, и отимаше овце и волове и магарце и камиле и рухо, и враћајући се долажаше к Ахису.
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.”
И Ахис питаше: Где сте данас ударали? А Давид говораше: На јужну страну Јудину, и на јужну страну јерамеилску, и на јужну страну кенејску.
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.
Али не остављаше Давид у животу ни човека ни жене да доведе у Гат говорећи: Да нас не туже говорећи: Тако је урадио Давид. И такав му беше обичај за све време докле беше у земљи филистејској.
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.”
И Ахис вероваше Давиду, и говораше: Баш се омразио с народом својим Израиљем; зато ће ми бити слуга довека.
