Pirmā Samuela 29

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

Now the Philistines assembled together all their camps at Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by the spring which is by Yizre'el.

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 at the last 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 are these Hebrews to do? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Behold, this is David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me already a year, or even years, and I have not found the least in him [to blame] from the day of his joining [me] 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 princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Cause this man to go back, that he may return to his place whither thou hast assigned him; but he shall not go down with us to the battle, that he may not become an adversary to us in the battle; for wherewith could this person reconcile himself unto his master? is it not by means of 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 the dances, saying, Saul hath slain 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 did Achish call David, and say unto him, As the Lord liveth, [I declare] that thou art upright, and that thy going out and thy coming in with me in the camp is good in my eyes; for I have not found in thee any evil from the day of thy coming unto me until this day; nevertheless in the eyes of the lords thou art not good.

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

And now return, and go in peace, that thou mayest not do any evil in the eyes 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 unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant from the day that I have been before thee, until this day, that I shall not go to 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 thou art good in my eyes, as an angel of God; nevertheless, 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.

And now rise up early in the morning with the servants of thy master that are come with thee: and rise then up early in the morning, and when ye have light, go away.

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

And David and his men rose up early to go away in the morning, to return unto the land of the Philistines; but the Philistines went up to Yizre'el.
