१ शमूएल 27

1 दाऊदले आफ्‍नो मनमा भने, “म कुनै दिन शाऊलको हातबाट नष्‍ट हुन्छु । मलाई पलिश्‍तीहरूको देशमा उम्केर जानुभन्दा उत्तम अरू केही हुँदैन । शाऊलले इस्राएलको सबै सिमानाभित्र मलाई खोज्‍न छोड्नेछ । यसरी म तिनको हातबाट उम्कनेछु ।”

And David says to his heart, “Now I am consumed by the hand of Saul one day; there is nothing better for me than that I diligently escape to the land of the Philistines, and Saul has been despairing of me—of seeking me anymore in all the border of Israel, and I have escaped out of his hand.”

2 दाऊद उठे र आफू र आफूसँग भएका छ सय मानिससँगै गातका राजा माओकका छोरा आकीशकहाँ गए ।

And David rises, and passes over, he and six hundred men who [are] with him, to Achish son of Maoch king of Gath;

3 दाऊद र तिनीसँग भएका मानिसहरू, तिनका आफ्नै घरानाका हरेक मानिस, र दाऊदका आफ्नी दई जना पत्‍नी यिजरेली अहीनोम र नाबालकी पत्‍नी कार्मेली स्‍त्री अबीगेल गातमा आकीशसँग बसे ।

and David dwells 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.

4 दाऊद गातमा भागेर गयो भनी शाऊललाई भनियो, त्यसैले उनले तिनलाई खोज्‍न छोडे ।

And it is declared to Saul that David has fled to Gath, and he has not added to seek him anymore.

5 दाऊदले आकीशलाई भने, “मैले तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा निगाह पाएको छु भने, देशभित्रका सहरमध्ये मलाई एउटा ठाउँ दिनुहोस्, ताकि म त्यहाँ बस्‍न सकूँ । तपाईंको दास तपाईंसँग राजकीय सहरमा किन बस्‍नु?”

And David says to Achish, “Now if I have found grace in your eyes, they give a place to me in one of the cities of the field, and I dwell there, indeed, why does your servant dwell in the royal city with you?”

6 त्यसैले त्यो दिन आकीशले तिनलाई सिक्‍लग दिए । त्यसैले सिक्‍लग आजको दिनसम्म पनि यहूदाका राजाहरूको अधीनमा छ ।

And Achish gives Ziklag to him in that day, therefore Ziklag has been for the kings of Judah until this day.

7 दाऊद पलिश्‍तीहरूको देशमा पुरा एक वर्ष चार महिनासम्म बसे ।

And the number of the days which David has dwelt in the field of the Philistines [is one year] of days and four months;

8 दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरूले विभिन्‍न ठाउँहरू आक्रमण गरेर गशूरीहरू, गिज्रीहरू र अमालेकीहरूलाई लूटे । किनभने तिनीहरू शूरतिर जाँदा मिश्रदेशसम्म बस्‍ने त्यस देशका बासिन्दाहरू थिए । तिनीहरू त्यस देशमा प्राचीनकालदेखि बस्दै आएका थिए ।

and David and his men go up, and they push toward the Geshurite, and the Gerizite, and the Amalekite (for they are inhabitants of the land from of old), as you come to Shur and to the land of Egypt,

9 दाऊदले त्यो देशलाई आक्रमण गरे र न पुरुष न त स्‍त्रीलाई जीवित राखे । तिनले भेडाहरू, गोरुहरू, गधाहरू, ऊँटहरू र लुगाफाटा लगे । तिनी फर्कन्‍थे र आकीशकहाँ आउँथे ।

and David has struck the land, and does not keep alive man and woman, and has taken sheep, and oxen, and donkeys, and camels, and garments, and turns back, and comes to Achish.

10 आकीशले भन्थे, “आज तिमीले कसलाई लुट्यौ?” दाऊदले जवाफ दन्थे, “यहूदाको दक्षिणतिर” वा “यरहमेलीहरूको दक्षिणतिर” वा “केनीहरूको दक्षिणतिर ।”

And Achish says, “To where have you pushed today?” And David says, “Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelite, and to the south of the Kenite.”

11 दाऊदले, “तिनीहरूले हाम्रोबारे 'दाऊदले यसो-यसो गरे' भन्‍न नसकून्” भनेर गातमा ल्याउनलाई न पुरुष न त स्‍त्रीलाई जीवित राख्थे । तिनी पलिश्तीहरूको देशमा बस्दा तिनले गरेका सबै कुरा यही थियो ।

David keeps alive neither man nor woman, to bring in [word] to Gath, saying, “Lest they declare [it] against us, saying, Thus David has done, and thus [is] his custom all the days that he has dwelt in the fields of the Philistines.”

12 आकीशले यसो भन्‍दै दाऊदलाई विश्‍वास गरे, “इस्राएलका मानिसले तिनलाई पूर्ण रूपमा घृणा गर्ने तिनले बनाएका छन् । यसकारण तिनी सदाको निम्ति मेरो सेवक हुनेछन् ।”

And Achish believes in David, saying, “He has made himself utterly abhorred among his people in Israel, and has been for a perpetual servant to me.”
