१ शमूएल 29
1 अब पलिश्तीहरूले आफ्ना सारा फौजलाई अपेकमा एकसाथ भेला पारे । इस्रएलीहरूले यिजरेलको पानीको मूलनेर छाउनी हाले ।
And the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek; and Israel encamped by the spring that is in Jizreel.
2 पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरू सय र हजारको पङ्तिमा अघि बढे । दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू आकीशका पछिल्तिरका अङ्गरक्षकहरू थिए ।
And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rearward with Achish.
3 तब पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरूले भने, “यी हिब्रूहरूले यहाँ के गरिरहेका छन्?” आकीशले पलिश्तीहरूका अरू शासकहरूलाई भने, “यिनी इस्राएलका राजा शाऊलका सेवक दाऊद होइन् जो मकहाँ आएको दिनदेखि आजसम्म मैले कुनै दोष भेट्टाएको छैन जो यी दिनहरू वा वर्षहरूमा मसँग बसेका छन्?”
And the princes of the Philistines said, What are these Hebrews? And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or these years, and I have found nothing in him since the day of his falling away [to me] to this day?
4 तर पलिश्तीहरूका शासकहरू तिनीसँग रिसाए र भने, “उसलाई फिर्ता पठाउनुहोस्, कि उसलाई दिइएको ठाउँमा फर्कोस् । ऊ हामीसँग युद्ध जानेछैन, किनकि ऊ युद्धको समयमा हाम्रै विरुद्धमा जाइलग्नेछ । किनकि उसले हाम्रा मानिसहरूको शिर काट्नुभन्दा अरू कसरी आफ्नो मालिकप्रति आफूलाई स्वीकारयोग्य बनाउन सक्छ र?
But the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, Make the man return, that he may go again to his place where thou hast appointed him, that he go not down with us to the battle, that in the battle he be not an adversary to us; for wherewith should this [fellow] reconcile himself to his master? should it not be with the heads of these men?
5 के यिनै दाऊद होइनन् जसको बारेमा तिनीहरूले यसो भनेर एकआपस नाँच्दै गएका थिए, 'शाऊलले हजारौंलाई मारे र दाऊदले दसौं हजारलाई मारे'?”
Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul smote his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
6 त्यसपछि आकीशले दाऊदलाई बलाए र तिनलाई भने, “जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, तिमी असल भएका छौ र तिमी मेरो फौजसँगै बाहिर जाने र भित्र आउने कुरा मेरो दृष्टिमा असल नै छ । किनकि तिमी आएको दिनदेखि आजको दिनसम्म मैले तिमीसँग कुनै खराबी भेट्टाएको छैन । तापनि शासकहरूले तिमीलाई रुचाउँदैनन् ।
And Achish called David, and said to him, [As] Jehovah liveth, thou art upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the camp is acceptable to me; for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming to me to this day; but thou art not acceptable to the lords.
7 त्यसैले अब फर्क र शान्तिसँग जाऊ, ताकि तिमीले पलिश्ती शासकहरूलाई अप्रशन्न तुल्याउनेछैनौ ।
And now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.
8 दाऊदले आकीशलाई भने, “तर मैले के गरेको छु? म तपाईंको सामुन्ने आजको दिनसम्म बस्दा तपाईंले आफ्नो दासमा के भेट्टाउनुभएको छ, ताकि म मेरा मालिक राजाका शत्रुहरू विरुद्ध जान र युद्ध गर्न सक्दिन?”
And David said to Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee to this day, that I should not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?
9 आकीशले दाऊदलाई जवाफ दिए र भने, “तिमी मेरो दृष्टिमा परमेश्वरको दूत जत्तिकै दोषरहित छौ । तापनि पलिश्ती शासकहरूले भनेका छन्, 'यिनी हामीसँग युद्धमा जानुहुँदैन ।'
And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art acceptable to me, as an angel of God; nevertheless the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.
10 त्यसैले तिमीसँग आएका आफ्नो मालिकका सेवकहरूसँगै बिहान सबेरै उठ । बिहान जति सक्दो सबेरै र उज्यालो हुनुअघि नै गइहाल ।”
And now rise up early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee; and rise ye early in the morning, and when ye have daylight, depart.
11 त्यसैले दाऊद बिहान सबेरै उठे, तिनी र तिनका मानिसहरू पलिश्तीहरूको देशमा फर्कन बिहान सबेरै हिंडे । तर पलिश्तीहरू माथि यिजरेलतिर गए ।
And David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jizreel.
