< 1 Samuel 29 >
1 The Philistines gathered all their armies at Aphek, and the Israelites set up camp by the spring in Jezreel.
Un Fīlisti visus savus pulkus bija sapulcinājuši Afekā, un Israēls apmetās pie Jezreēles akas.
2 The Philistine rulers were marching out in their divisions of hundreds and thousands with David and his men at the rear with King Achish.
Un Fīlistu lielkungi tur gāja ar simtiem un ar tūkstošiem. Bet Dāvids un viņa vīri gāja ar Aķisu no aizmugures.
3 But the Philistine commanders asked, “What are these Hebrews doing here?” Achish replied to the Philistine commanders, “That's David, an officer of King Saul of Israel. He's been with me for a long time, years even, and I haven't found any fault in him since the day he came over to our side up till now.”
Tad Fīlistu lielkungi sacīja: ko šie Ebreji (te dara)? Un Aķis sacīja uz Fīlistu lielkungiem: vai šis nav Dāvids, Saula, Israēla ķēniņa, kalps, kas šīs dienas un šos gadus pie manis bijis, un es pie tā nekā neesmu atradis no tās dienas, kad viņš tur ir atkritis, līdz šai dienai?
4 But the Philistine commanders got angry with Achish, and told him, “Send him back to the place he came from, to the town you assigned to him. He can't go with us into battle. What if he turns on us during the fighting? What a great way for him to please his master—by handing over the heads of our men!
Bet Fīlistu lielkungi apskaitās par viņu un uz viņu sacīja: lai tas vīrs griežas atpakaļ un lai iet atpakaļ uz savu vietu, ko tu viņam esi devis; lai viņš neiet karā mums līdz, ka viņš mums nepaliek par pretinieku pašā kaušanā. Jo kā šis savam kungam labāki varētu patikt, nekā caur šo vīru galvām?
5 Isn't this the David they sing about in their dances: ‘Saul has killed his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?”
Vai šis nav tas Dāvids, par ko tie dejojot un dziedot sacīja: Sauls ir tūkstošus kāvis, bet Dāvids desmit tūkstošus?
6 So Achish called David over and told him, “As the Lord lives, you are honest and you've done what's right as far as I can see. As far as I'm concerned you should march with me into battle because I haven't found any fault in you from the day you arrived until now. But the other leaders don't approve of you.
Tad Aķis aicināja Dāvidu un uz to sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, tu esi taisns vīrs un tava iziešana un ieiešana pie manis lēģerī man labi patīk, jo es pie tevis neesmu ļauna atradis no tās dienas, kad tu pie manis nācis, līdz šai dienai, bet tiem lielkungiem tu neesi patīkams.
7 So go back home in peace, and that way you won't do anything to upset the Philistine leaders.”
Tad nu griezies atpakaļ un ej ar mieru, ka tu ļauna nedari priekš Fīlistu lielkungu acīm.
8 “But what have I done?” David asked. “What fault have you found in me, your servant, from the day I came to you until now, that would prevent me from going to fight the enemies of my lord the king?”
Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Aķisu: ko es esmu darījis un ko tu pie sava kalpa esi atradis no tās dienas, kad es tavā priekšā bijis, līdz šai dienai, ka man nu nebūs iet un kauties pret sava kunga, tā ķēniņa, ienaidniekiem?
9 “As far as I'm concerned, you're as good as an angel of God,” Achish replied. “But the Philistine commanders have stated, ‘He can't go into battle with us.’
Tad Aķis atbildēja un sacīja uz Dāvidu: es gan zinu, tiešām tu manām acīm esi patīkams, tāpat kā viens Dieva eņģelis. Bet Fīlistu lielkungi saka, lai viņš neiet karā mums līdz.
10 So get up early tomorrow morning and leave with your men as soon as it's light.”
Nu tad celies rītā agri ar sava kunga kalpiem, kas tev līdz nākuši, un ceļaties rītā agri, kad gaisma būs metusies, un ejat.
11 David and his men got up early in the morning and went back to the country of the Philistines. But the Philistines advanced on Jezreel.
Tad Dāvids cēlās ar saviem vīriem, iet agri atpakaļ uz Fīlistu zemi. Bet Fīlisti cēlās uz Jezreēli.
