Pirmā Samuela 29
1 Un Fīlisti visus savus pulkus bija sapulcinājuši Afekā, un Israēls apmetās pie Jezreēles akas.
Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel.
2 Un Fīlistu lielkungi tur gāja ar simtiem un ar tūkstošiem. Bet Dāvids un viņa vīri gāja ar Aķisu no aizmugures.
And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rear guard with Achish.
3 Tad Fīlistu lielkungi sacīja: ko šie Ebreji (te dara)? Un Aķis sacīja uz Fīlistu lielkungiem: vai šis nav Dāvids, Saula, Israēla ķēniņa, kalps, kas šīs dienas un šos gadus pie manis bijis, un es pie tā nekā neesmu atradis no tās dienas, kad viņš tur ir atkritis, līdz šai dienai?
Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which has been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell to me to this day?
4 Bet Fīlistu lielkungi apskaitās par viņu un uz viņu sacīja: lai tas vīrs griežas atpakaļ un lai iet atpakaļ uz savu vietu, ko tu viņam esi devis; lai viņš neiet karā mums līdz, ka viņš mums nepaliek par pretinieku pašā kaušanā. Jo kā šis savam kungam labāki varētu patikt, nekā caur šo vīru galvām?
And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which you have appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary to us: for with which should he reconcile himself to his master? should it not be with the heads of these men?
5 Vai šis nav tas Dāvids, par ko tie dejojot un dziedot sacīja: Sauls ir tūkstošus kāvis, bet Dāvids desmit tūkstošus?
Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
6 Tad Aķis aicināja Dāvidu un uz to sacīja: tik tiešām kā Tas Kungs dzīvo, tu esi taisns vīrs un tava iziešana un ieiešana pie manis lēģerī man labi patīk, jo es pie tevis neesmu ļauna atradis no tās dienas, kad tu pie manis nācis, līdz šai dienai, bet tiem lielkungiem tu neesi patīkams.
Then Achish called David, and said to him, Surely, as the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the host 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 favor you not.
7 Tad nu griezies atpakaļ un ej ar mieru, ka tu ļauna nedari priekš Fīlistu lielkungu acīm.
Why now return, and go in peace, that you displease not the lords of the Philistines.
8 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Aķisu: ko es esmu darījis un ko tu pie sava kalpa esi atradis no tās dienas, kad es tavā priekšā bijis, līdz šai dienai, ka man nu nebūs iet un kauties pret sava kunga, tā ķēniņa, ienaidniekiem?
And David said to Achish, But what have I done? and what have you found in your servant so long as I have been with you to this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my lord the king?
9 Tad Aķis atbildēja un sacīja uz Dāvidu: es gan zinu, tiešām tu manām acīm esi patīkams, tāpat kā viens Dieva eņģelis. Bet Fīlistu lielkungi saka, lai viņš neiet karā mums līdz.
And Achish answered and said to David, I know that you are good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.
10 Nu tad celies rītā agri ar sava kunga kalpiem, kas tev līdz nākuši, un ceļaties rītā agri, kad gaisma būs metusies, un ejat.
Why now rise up early in the morning with your master’s servants that are come with you: and as soon as you be up early in the morning, and have light, depart.
11 Tad Dāvids cēlās ar saviem vīriem, iet agri atpakaļ uz Fīlistu zemi. Bet Fīlisti cēlās uz Jezreēli.
So David and his men rose up early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
