1 Samuel 27
1 And David saith unto his heart, 'Now am I consumed one day by the hand of Saul; there is nothing for me better than that I diligently escape unto the land of the Philistines, and Saul hath been despairing of me — of seeking me any more in all the border of Israel, and I have escaped out of his hand.'
David je v svojem srcu rekel: »Sedaj bom nekega dne umrl po Savlovi roki. Zame ni nič boljšega, kakor da bi hitro pobegnil v deželo Filistejcev in Savel bo obupal nad menoj, da me še išče v kateremkoli območju Izraela. Tako bom pobegnil iz njegove roke.«
2 And David riseth, and passeth over, he and six hundred men who [are] with him, unto Achish son of Maoch king of Gath;
David se je dvignil in šel preko s šeststo možmi, ki so bili z njim, k Ahíšu, Maóhovemu sinu, kralju Gata.
3 and David dwelleth with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each one with his household, [even] David and his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelitess.
David je prebival z Ahíšem v Gatu, on in njegovi možje, vsak mož s svojo družino, David s svojima dvema ženama, Jezreélko Ahinóam in Karmelčanko Abigájilo, Nabálovo ženo.
4 And it is declared to Saul that David hath fled to Gath, and he hath not added any more to seek him.
To je bilo povedano Savlu, da je David pobegnil v Gat in ni ga več ponovno iskal.
5 And David saith unto Achish, 'If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, they give to me a place in one of the cities of the field, and I dwell there, yea, why doth thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?'
David je rekel Ahíšu: »Če sem torej našel milost v tvojih očeh, naj mi dajo prostor v nekem mestu v deželi, da bom tam lahko prebival, kajti zakaj bi tvoj služabnik prebival s teboj v kraljevem mestu?«
6 And Achish giveth to him in that day Ziklag, therefore hath Ziklag been to the kings of Judah till this day.
Potem mu je Ahíš ta dan izročil Ciklág. Zato Ciklág pripada Judovim kraljem do tega dne.
7 And the number of the days which David hath dwelt in the field of the Philistines [is] days and four months;
Časa, ko je David prebival v deželi Filistejcev, je bil polno leto in štiri mesece.
8 and David goeth up and his men, and they push unto the Geshurite, and the Gerizite, and the Amalekite, (for they are inhabitants of the land from of old), as thou comest in to Shur and unto the land of Egypt,
David in njegovi možje so odšli gor in vdrli h Gešuréjcem, Girzéjcem in Amalečanom, kajti ti narodi so bili od davnine prebivalci dežele, kakor greš v Šur, celo v egiptovsko deželo.
9 and David hath smitten the land, and doth not keep alive man and woman, and hath taken sheep, and oxen, and asses, and camels, and garments, and turneth back, and cometh in unto Achish.
David je udaril deželo in ni pustil živega niti moškega niti ženske in odvedel ovce, vole, osle, kamele, obleke in se vrnil in prišel k Ahíšu.
10 And Achish saith, 'Whither have ye pushed to-day?' and David saith, 'Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelite, and unto the south of the Kenite.'
Ahíš je rekel: »Kam ste danes vpadli?« David je rekel: »Zoper južni Juda in zoper jug Jerahmeélovcev in zoper jug Kenéjcev.«
11 Neither man nor woman doth David keep alive, to bring in [word] to Gath, saying, 'Lest they declare [it] against us, saying, Thus hath David done, and thus [is] his custom all the days that he hath dwelt in the fields of the Philistines.'
David ni rešil živega niti moškega niti ženske, da prinesejo novice v Gat, rekoč: »Da ne bi povedali o nas, rekoč: ›Tako je storil David in takšen bo njegov način, vse dokler on prebiva v deželi Filistejcev.‹«
12 And Achish believeth in David, saying, 'He hath made himself utterly abhorred among his people, in Israel, and hath been to me for a servant age-during.'
Ahíš je verjel Davidu, rekoč: »Svojemu ljudstvu Izraelu je storil, da ga popolnoma prezira, zato bo on moj služabnik na veke.«
