Pirmā Samuela 29

1 Un Fīlisti visus savus pulkus bija sapulcinājuši Afekā, un Israēls apmetās pie Jezreēles akas.

And the Philistines gather all their armies to Aphec, and Israel encamped in Aendor, which is in Jezrael.

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 went on by hundreds and thousands, and David and his men went on in the rear with Anchus.

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?

And the lords of the Philistines said, Who [are] these that pass by? And Anchus said to the captains of the Philistines, [Is] not this David the servant of Saul king of Israel? He has been with us some time, even this second year, and I have not found any fault in him from the day that he attached himself to me even until 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 captains of the Philistines were displeased at him, and they say to him, Send the man away, and let him return to his place, where you did set him; and let him not come with us to the war, and let him not be a traitor in the camp: and wherewith will he be reconciled to his master? Will it not be with the heads of those 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 whom they celebrated in dances, saying, Saul has struck 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.

And Anchus called David, and said to him, [As] the Lord lives, you [are] right and approved in my eyes, and [so is] your going out and your coming in with me in the army, and I have not found [any] evil to charge against you from the day that you came to me until this day: but you are not approved in the eyes of the lords.

7 Tad nu griezies atpakaļ un ej ar mieru, ka tu ļauna nedari priekš Fīlistu lielkungu acīm.

Now then return and go in peace, thus you shall not do evil in the sight of 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 Anchus, What have I done to you? and what have you found in your servant from the [first] day that I was before you even until this day, that I should not come and war against the enemies of the lord my 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 Anchus answered David, I know that you [are] good in my eyes, but the lords of the Philistines say, He shall not come with us to the war.

10 Nu tad celies rītā agri ar sava kunga kalpiem, kas tev līdz nākuši, un ceļaties rītā agri, kad gaisma būs metusies, un ejat.

Now then rise up early in the morning, you and the servants of your lord that are come with you, and go to the place where I appointed you, and entertain no evil thought in your heart, for you [are] good in my sight: and rise early for your journey when it is light, and depart.

11 Tad Dāvids cēlās ar saviem vīriem, iet agri atpakaļ uz Fīlistu zemi. Bet Fīlisti cēlās uz Jezreēli.

So David arose early, he and his men, to depart and guard the land of the Philistines: and the Philistines went up to Jezrael to battle.
