< 1 Samuel 27 >
1 And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me to seek me any more within all the limits of Israel, and I shall escape out of his hand.
Ali David reèe u srcu svojem: poginuæu kadgod od ruke Saulove; nema bolje za me nego da pobjegnem u zemlju Filistejsku, te æe me se Saul okaniti i neæe me više tražiti po krajevima Izrailjevijem; tako æu se izbaviti iz ruku njegovijeh.
2 And David arose and passed over, he and the six hundred men that were with him, to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
Tada se podiže David i otide sa šest stotina ljudi koji bijahu s njim k Ahisu sinu Maohovu caru Gatskom.
3 And David abode with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household; David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jizreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
I osta David kod Ahisa u Gatu i ljudi njegovi, svaki sa svojom porodicom, David sa dvije žene svoje, Ahinoamom iz Jezraela i Avigejom iz Karmila ženom Navalovom.
4 And it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath; and he sought no more for him.
I kad javiše Saulu da je David utekao u Gat, presta ga tražiti.
5 And David said to Achish, If now I have found favour in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some country-town, that I may abide there; for why should thy servant abide in the royal city with thee?
A David reèe Ahisu: ako sam našao milost pred tobom, neka mi dadu mjesto u kom gradu ove zemlje, da sjedim ondje, jer zašto da sjedi sluga tvoj s tobom u carskom gradu?
6 And Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day.
I dade mu Ahis onoga dana Siklag. Zato Siklag pripada carevima Judinijem do današnjega dana.
7 And the time that David abode in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months.
I osta David u zemlji Filistejskoj godinu i èetiri mjeseca.
8 And David and his men went up and made a raid upon the Geshurites, and the Gerzites, and the Amalekites: for those were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, and as far as the land of Egypt.
I izlažaše David sa svojim ljudima, i udaraše na Gesureje i Gerzeje i na Amalike; jer ti narodi življahu od starine u onoj zemlji od Sura pa do zemlje Misirske.
9 And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.
I pustošaše David onu zemlju ne ostavljajuæi u životu ni èovjeka ni žene, i otimaše ovce i volove i magarce i kamile i ruho, i vraæajuæi se dolažaše k Ahisu.
10 So Achish said, Have ye not made a raid to-day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.
I Ahis pitaše: gdje ste danas udarali? A David govoraše: na južnu stranu Judinu, i na južnu stranu Jerameilsku, i na južnu stranu Kenejsku.
11 And David left neither man nor woman alive, to bring [them] to Gath, for he said, Lest they should tell of us, saying, So did David. And such was his custom as long as he abode in the country of the Philistines.
Ali ne ostavljaše David u životu ni èovjeka ni žene da dovede u Gat govoreæi: da nas ne tuže govoreæi: tako je uradio David. I taki mu bijaše obièaj za sve vrijeme dokle bijaše u zemlji Filistejskoj.
12 And Achish trusted David, saying, He has made himself utterly odious among his people Israel; and he shall be my servant for ever.
I Ahis vjerovaše Davidu, i govoraše: baš se omrazio s narodom svojim Izrailjem; zato æe mi biti sluga dovijeka.
