1 Samuel 29
1 Now the Philistines assembled together all their camps at Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by the spring which is by Yizre'el.
Filistejci skupiše sve svoje čete u Afeku, a Izraelci se utaboriše kod izvora u Jizreelu.
2 And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; but David and his men passed on at the last with Achish.
Filistejski su knezovi prolazili sa svojim stotinama i tisućama, a David i njegovi ljudi išli su sasvim na kraju s Akišem.
3 Then said the princes of the Philistines, What are these Hebrews to do? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Behold, this is David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me already a year, or even years, and I have not found the least in him [to blame] from the day of his joining [me] until this day?
Filistejski knezovi zapitaše: “Što hoće ti Hebreji ovdje?” A Akiš odgovori filistejskim knezovima: “Pa ovo je David, sluga izraelskoga kralja Šaula! Već je godinu-dvije kod mene, ali nisam našao na njemu ništa sumnjivo od onoga dana kad je prebjegao k meni pa do današnjega dana.”
4 And the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Cause this man to go back, that he may return to his place whither thou hast assigned him; but he shall not go down with us to the battle, that he may not become an adversary to us in the battle; for wherewith could this person reconcile himself unto his master? is it not by means of the heads of these men?
Ali filistejski knezovi planuše na njega i rekoše mu: “Pošalji toga čovjeka natrag, neka se vrati na mjesto koje si mu označio. Neka ne ide s nama u boj, da se ne okrene protiv nas u boju! Čime bi se on opet umilio svome gospodaru ako ne glavama ovih naših ljudi?
5 Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in the dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
To je onaj isti David o kome se pjevalo igrajući: 'Pobi Šaul svoje tisuće, David na desetke tisuća!'”
6 Then did Achish call David, and say unto him, As the Lord liveth, [I declare] that thou art upright, and that thy going out and thy coming in with me in the camp is good in my eyes; for I have not found in thee any evil from the day of thy coming unto me until this day; nevertheless in the eyes of the lords thou art not good.
Tada Akiš dozva Davida i reče mu: “Živoga mi Jahve, ti si pošten i meni bi drago bilo da me pratiš u pokretima moje vojske, jer nisam našao nikakva zla na tebi od onoga dana kad si došao k meni pa do današnjega dana. Ali nisi drag u očima knezova.
7 And now return, and go in peace, that thou mayest not do any evil in the eyes of the lords of the Philistines.
Zato se sada vrati i otiđi s mirom kući da ne ozlovoljiš filistejske knezove!”
8 And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant from the day that I have been before thee, until this day, that I shall not go to fight against the enemies of my Lord the king?
David odvrati Akišu: “Ta što sam učinio i što si zamjerio svome sluzi od onoga dana kad sam stupio u tvoju službu pa do današnjega dana da ne mogu ići da se bijem s neprijateljima svoga gospodara kralja?”
9 And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my eyes, as an angel of God; nevertheless, the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.
A Akiš odgovori Davidu: “Ti znaš da si mi drag kao Božji anđeo, ali su filistejski knezovi rekli: 'Neka ne ide s nama u boj!'
10 And now rise up early in the morning with the servants of thy master that are come with thee: and rise then up early in the morning, and when ye have light, go away.
Zato ustanite rano ujutro, ti i sluge tvoga gospodara koji su došli s tobom, i otiđite na mjesto koje sam vam označio. I nemoj gajiti u svom srcu nikakve mržnje jer si mi mio. Ustat ćete, dakle, u rano jutro, čim svane, i otići ćete!”
11 And David and his men rose up early to go away in the morning, to return unto the land of the Philistines; but the Philistines went up to Yizre'el.
Tako David sa svojim ljudima ustade rano i krenu odmah ujutro i vrati se u filistejsku zemlju, a Filistejci odoše u Jizreel.
