Pirmā Samuela 27
1 Un Dāvids domāja savā sirdī: taču man kādā dienā nāks gals caur Saula roku; man labuma nav, ja es glābtin neglābjos uz Fīlistu zemi, lai Sauls mitās mani joprojām meklēt visās Israēla robežās; tā es no viņa rokas izglābšos.
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.
2 Tad Dāvids cēlās un gāja ar tiem sešsimt vīriem, kas pie viņa bija, pie Aķisa, Maoka dēla, Gatas ķēniņa.
And David arose, and he and the six hundred men that were with him passed over, unto Achish son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3 Un Dāvids palika pie Aķisa Gatā, pats un viņa vīri, ikkatrs ar savu namu, Dāvids ar savām abām sievām, Aķinoamu, to Jezreēlieti, un Abigaīli, Nābala sievu, to Karmelieti.
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.
4 Kad nu Saulam sacīja, ka Dāvids aizbēdzis uz Gatu, tad viņš to vairs nemeklēja.
And, when it was told Saul, that David had fled to Gath, he added no more, to seek him.
5 Un Dāvids sacīja uz Aķisu: ja es žēlastību esmu atradis priekš tavām acīm, tad lai man dod vietu vienā zemes pilsētā, ka es tur dzīvoju; jo kāpēc tavam kalpam ķēniņa pilsētā pie tevis būs dzīvot?
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?
6 Tad Aķis viņam tai dienā deva Ciklagu. Tāpēc Ciklaga Jūda ķēniņiem pieder līdz šai dienai.
So Achish gave him, on that day, Ziklag, —wherefore Ziklag hath pertained unto the kings of Judah, unto this day.
7 Un tas laiks, ko Dāvids Fīlistu zemē mita, bija viens gads un četri mēneši.
And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines became a year and four months.
8 Un Dāvids cēlās ar saviem vīriem un uzbruka Gešuriešiem un Ģirziešiem un Amalekiešiem, jo tie citkārt bija tie zemes iedzīvotāji līdz Šurai un Ēģiptes zemei.
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.
9 Un Dāvids kāva to zemi un nepameta dzīvus ne vīrus, ne sievas un ņēma avis un vēršus un ēzeļus un kamieļus un drēbes, un griezās atpakaļ un nāca pie Aķisa.
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.
10 Kad nu Aķis sacīja: kur jūs šodien esat ielauzušies? Tad Dāvids sacīja: pret dienasvidu iekš Jūda, un pret dienasvidu pie Jerameliešiem, un pret dienasvidu pie Keniešiem.
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.
11 Un Dāvids ne vīrus, ne sievas nepameta dzīvus, ka tie netiktu uz Gatu; jo viņš sacīja: lai nenes vēsti pret mums, sacīdami: tā Dāvids mums ir darījis. Un tāds bija viņa darbs, cik ilgi tas Fīlistu zemē dzīvoja.
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.
12 Un Aķis ticēja Dāvidam un domāja, viņš sev smirdošu darījies priekš saviem Israēla ļaudīm, tāpēc viņš man mūžam būs par kalpu.
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.
