1 Samuel 29

1 Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites camped by the spring which is in Jezreel.

अब पलिश्‍तीहरूले आफ्‍ना सारा फौजलाई अपेकमा एकसाथ भेला पारे । इस्रएलीहरूले यिजरेलको पानीको मूलनेर छाउनी हाले ।

2 The lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rear with Achish.

पलिश्‍तीहरूका शासकहरू सय र हजारको पङ्तिमा अघि बढे । दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू आकीशका पछिल्तिरका अङ्‍गरक्षकहरू थिए ।

3 Then the leaders of the Philistines said, "What about these Hebrews?" And Achish said to the leaders of the Philistines, "Isn't this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault in him since he defected to me until this day?"

तब पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरूले भने, “यी हिब्रूहरूले यहाँ के गरिरहेका छन्?” आकीशले पलिश्तीहरूका अरू शासकहरूलाई भने, “यिनी इस्राएलका राजा शाऊलका सेवक दाऊद होइन् जो मकहाँ आएको दिनदेखि आजसम्म मैले कुनै दोष भेट्टाएको छैन जो यी दिनहरू वा वर्षहरूमा मसँग बसेका छन्?”

4 But the leaders of the Philistines were angry with him, and said to him, "Send that man back to the place where you have assigned him, and he must not go down with us to battle, or in the battle he may become an adversary. For how could this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Should it not be with the heads of these men?

तर पलिश्‍तीहरूका शासकहरू तिनीसँग रिसाए र भने, “उसलाई फिर्ता पठाउनुहोस्, कि उसलाई दिइएको ठाउँमा फर्कोस् । ऊ हामीसँग युद्ध जानेछैन, किनकि ऊ युद्धको समयमा हाम्रै विरुद्धमा जाइलग्‍नेछ । किनकि उसले हाम्रा मानिसहरूको शिर काट्नुभन्दा अरू कसरी आफ्नो मालिकप्रति आफूलाई स्वीकारयोग्य बनाउन सक्‍छ र?

5 Is not this David about whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?'"

के यिनै दाऊद होइनन् जसको बारेमा तिनीहरूले यसो भनेर एकआपस नाँच्दै गएका थिए, 'शाऊलले हजारौंलाई मारे र दाऊदले दसौं हजारलाई मारे'?”

6 Then Achish called David, and said to him, "As YHWH lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, the lords do not favor you.

त्यसपछि आकीशले दाऊदलाई बलाए र तिनलाई भने, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, तिमी असल भएका छौ र तिमी मेरो फौजसँगै बाहिर जाने र भित्र आउने कुरा मेरो दृष्‍टिमा असल नै छ । किनकि तिमी आएको दिनदेखि आजको दिनसम्म मैले तिमीसँग कुनै खराबी भेट्टाएको छैन । तापनि शासकहरूले तिमीलाई रुचाउँदैनन् ।

7 Therefore now return, and go in peace, that you not displease the lords of the Philistines."

त्यसैले अब फर्क र शान्तिसँग जाऊ, ताकि तिमीले पलिश्‍ती शासकहरूलाई अप्रशन्‍न तुल्याउनेछैनौ ।

8 David said to Achish, "But what have I done? What have you found in your servant so long as I have been before you to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"

दाऊदले आकीशलाई भने, “तर मैले के गरेको छु? म तपाईंको सामुन्‍ने आजको दिनसम्म बस्‍दा तपाईंले आफ्नो दासमा के भेट्टाउनुभएको छ, ताकि म मेरा मालिक राजाका शत्रुहरू विरुद्ध जान र युद्ध गर्न सक्‍दिन?”

9 Then Achish answered David, "I know that you are good in my sight. However, the leaders of the Philistines have said, 'He must not go up with us to the battle.'

आकीशले दाऊदलाई जवाफ दिए र भने, “तिमी मेरो दृष्‍टिमा परमेश्‍वरको दूत जत्तिकै दोषरहित छौ । तापनि पलिश्‍ती शासकहरूले भनेका छन्, 'यिनी हामीसँग युद्धमा जानुहुँदैन ।'

10 So get up early in the morning, you and the servants of your lord who have come with you, and go to the place which I allotted to you. As for evil remarks, take none to heart; for you are good in my sight. And as soon as you are up early in the morning, and have light, depart."

त्यसैले तिमीसँग आएका आफ्नो मालिकका सेवकहरूसँगै बिहान सबेरै उठ । बिहान जति सक्‍दो सबेरै र उज्यालो हुनुअघि नै गइहाल ।”

11 So David and his men got up early to return to the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

त्यसैले दाऊद बिहान सबेरै उठे, तिनी र तिनका मानिसहरू पलिश्तीहरूको देशमा फर्कन बिहान सबेरै हिंडे । तर पलिश्तीहरू माथि यिजरेलतिर गए ।
