1 Samuel 27
1 And David said, unto his own heart, Now, shall I be swept off, in a single day, by the hand of Saul, —there is nothing for me better than that I, escape, into the land of the Philistines, so shall Saul give up seeking for me any more, in any of the bounds of Israel, so shall I escape out of his hand.
दाऊदले आफ्नो मनमा भने, “म कुनै दिन शाऊलको हातबाट नष्ट हुन्छु । मलाई पलिश्तीहरूको देशमा उम्केर जानुभन्दा उत्तम अरू केही हुँदैन । शाऊलले इस्राएलको सबै सिमानाभित्र मलाई खोज्न छोड्नेछ । यसरी म तिनको हातबाट उम्कनेछु ।”
2 And David arose, and he and the six hundred men that were with him passed over, unto Achish son of Maoch, king of Gath.
दाऊद उठे र आफू र आफूसँग भएका छ सय मानिससँगै गातका राजा माओकका छोरा आकीशकहाँ गए ।
3 And David abode with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each man with his household, —David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal, the Carmelite.
दाऊद र तिनीसँग भएका मानिसहरू, तिनका आफ्नै घरानाका हरेक मानिस, र दाऊदका आफ्नी दई जना पत्नी यिजरेली अहीनोम र नाबालकी पत्नी कार्मेली स्त्री अबीगेल गातमा आकीशसँग बसे ।
4 And, when it was told Saul, that David had fled to Gath, he added no more, to seek him.
दाऊद गातमा भागेर गयो भनी शाऊललाई भनियो, त्यसैले उनले तिनलाई खोज्न छोडे ।
5 Then said David unto Achish—If, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there, —for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city, with thee?
दाऊदले आकीशलाई भने, “मैले तपाईंको दृष्टिमा निगाह पाएको छु भने, देशभित्रका सहरमध्ये मलाई एउटा ठाउँ दिनुहोस्, ताकि म त्यहाँ बस्न सकूँ । तपाईंको दास तपाईंसँग राजकीय सहरमा किन बस्नु?”
6 So Achish gave him, on that day, Ziklag, —wherefore Ziklag hath pertained unto the kings of Judah, unto this day.
त्यसैले त्यो दिन आकीशले तिनलाई सिक्लग दिए । त्यसैले सिक्लग आजको दिनसम्म पनि यहूदाका राजाहरूको अधीनमा छ ।
7 And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines became a year and four months.
दाऊद पलिश्तीहरूको देशमा पुरा एक वर्ष चार महिनासम्म बसे ।
8 And David and his men went up, and made a raid against the Geshurites and the Gizrites and the Amalekites, —for, they, were the inhabitants of the land who had been from age-past times, as thou enterest Shur, even as far as the land of Egypt.
दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरूले विभिन्न ठाउँहरू आक्रमण गरेर गशूरीहरू, गिज्रीहरू र अमालेकीहरूलाई लूटे । किनभने तिनीहरू शूरतिर जाँदा मिश्रदेशसम्म बस्ने त्यस देशका बासिन्दाहरू थिए । तिनीहरू त्यस देशमा प्राचीनकालदेखि बस्दै आएका थिए ।
9 Now, when David would smite a land, he used to save alive neither man nor woman, —but took sheep and oxen, and asses and camels, and apparel, and returned, and came in unto Achish.
दाऊदले त्यो देशलाई आक्रमण गरे र न पुरुष न त स्त्रीलाई जीवित राखे । तिनले भेडाहरू, गोरुहरू, गधाहरू, ऊँटहरू र लुगाफाटा लगे । तिनी फर्कन्थे र आकीशकहाँ आउँथे ।
10 Then said Achish, Whither have ye made a raid, to-day? And David said—Against the South of Judah, or against the South of the Jerahmeelites, or as far as the South of the Kenites.
आकीशले भन्थे, “आज तिमीले कसलाई लुट्यौ?” दाऊदले जवाफ दन्थे, “यहूदाको दक्षिणतिर” वा “यरहमेलीहरूको दक्षिणतिर” वा “केनीहरूको दक्षिणतिर ।”
11 But, neither man nor woman, used David to save alive, to bring into Gath, for he said, Lest they tell of us, saying, —So, hath David done, and, such, his manner, all the days that he hath dwelt in the country of the Philistines.
दाऊदले, “तिनीहरूले हाम्रोबारे 'दाऊदले यसो-यसो गरे' भन्न नसकून्” भनेर गातमा ल्याउनलाई न पुरुष न त स्त्रीलाई जीवित राख्थे । तिनी पलिश्तीहरूको देशमा बस्दा तिनले गरेका सबै कुरा यही थियो ।
12 And Achish believed in David, saying, —He hath made himself, odious, unto his own people, unto Israel, therefore shall he be my servant all his life long.
आकीशले यसो भन्दै दाऊदलाई विश्वास गरे, “इस्राएलका मानिसले तिनलाई पूर्ण रूपमा घृणा गर्ने तिनले बनाएका छन् । यसकारण तिनी सदाको निम्ति मेरो सेवक हुनेछन् ।”
