1 Samuel 29
1 And the Philistines gather all their camps to Aphek, and Israel is encamping at a fountain which [is] in Jezreel,
Filistejci skupiše sve svoje čete u Afeku, a Izraelci se utaboriše kod izvora u Jizreelu.
2 and the princes of the Philistines are passing on by hundreds, and by thousands, and David and his men are passing on in the rear with Achish.
Filistejski su knezovi prolazili sa svojim stotinama i tisućama, a David i njegovi ljudi išli su sasvim na kraju s Akišem.
3 And the heads of the Philistines say, “What [are] these Hebrews?” And Achish says to the heads of the Philistines, “Is this not David, servant of Saul king of Israel, who has been with me these days or these years, and I have not found anything in him [wrong] from the day of his falling away 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 heads of the Philistines are angry against him, and the heads of the Philistines say to him, “Send back the man, and he turns back to his place to where you have appointed him, and does not go down with us into battle, and is not for an adversary to us in battle; and with what does this one reconcile himself to his lord—is it not with the heads of those 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 this not David, of whom they answer in choruses, saying, Saul has struck among his thousands, and David among his myriads?”
To je onaj isti David o kome se pjevalo igrajući: 'Pobi Šaul svoje tisuće, David na desetke tisuća!'”
6 And Achish calls to David and says to him, “YHWH lives, surely you [are] upright, and good in my eyes is your going out, and your coming in with me in the camp, for I have not found evil in you from the day of your coming to me until this day; but you are not good in the eyes of the princes;
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, and you do no evil in the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.”
Zato se sada vrati i otiđi s mirom kući da ne ozlovoljiš filistejske knezove!”
8 And David says to Achish, “But what have I done? And what have you found in your servant from the day that I have been before you until this day—that I do not go in and have fought 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 answers and says to David, “I have known that you [are] good in my eyes as a messenger of God; only, the princes of the Philistines have said, He does not go up with us into 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 early in the morning—and the servants of your lord who have come with you. When you have risen early in the morning, and have light, then go.”
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 rises early, he and his men, to go in the morning, to return to the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines have gone up to Jezreel.
Tako David sa svojim ljudima ustade rano i krenu odmah ujutro i vrati se u filistejsku zemlju, a Filistejci odoše u Jizreel.
