1 Samuelova 29

1 A Filisteji skupiše svu vojsku svoju kod Afeka, a Izrailj stade u oko kod izvora u Jezraelu.

Now the Philistines gathered together all their hosts to Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by the fountain which is in Jezreel.

2 I knezovi Filistejski iðahu sa stotinama i tisuæama; a David i njegovi ljudi iðahu najposlije s Ahisom.

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 I rekoše knezovi Filistejski: što æe ti Jevreji? A Ahis reèe knezovima Filistejskim: nije li ovo David sluga cara Izrailjskoga Saula, koji je kod mene toliko vremena, toliko godina, i ne naðoh na njemu ništa otkako je dobjegao do ovoga dana?

Then said the princes of the Philistines, What [do] these Hebrews [here]? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me these days, or [rather] these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell away [unto me] unto this day?

4 Ali se rasrdiše na nj knezovi Filistejski, i rekoše mu knezovi Filistejski: pošlji natrag toga èovjeka, neka se vrati u svoje mjesto gdje si ga postavio, i neka ne ide s nama u boj, da se ne okrene na nas u boju; jer èim bi se opet umilio gospodaru svojemu ako ne glavama ovijeh ljudi?

But the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us: for wherewith should this [fellow] reconcile himself unto his lord? should it not be with the heads of these men?

5 Nije li to David o kojem se pjevalo igrajuæi i govorilo: zgubi Saul svoju tisuæu, ali David svojih deset tisuæa?

Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands?

6 Tada Ahis dozva Davida, i reèe mu: tako bio živ Gospod, ti si pošten, i milo mi je da hodiš sa mnom u boj; jer ne naðoh nikakoga zla na tebi otkako si došao k meni do ovoga dana; ali nijesi po volji knezovima.

Then Achish called David, and said unto him, As Jehovah liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favor thee not.

7 Nego vrati se i idi s mirom da ne uèiniš što što ne bi bilo milo knezovima Filistejskim.

Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.

8 A David reèe Ahisu: ali šta sam uèinio? šta li si našao na sluzi svojem otkako sam kod tebe do ovoga dana, da ne idem da se bijem s neprijateljima gospodara svojega cara?

And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been before thee unto this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?

9 A Ahis odgovarajuæi reèe Davidu: znam; doista si mi mio kao anðeo Božji; ali knezovi Filistejski rekoše: neka ne ide s nama u boj.

And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art 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 Nego ustani sjutra rano sa slugama gospodara svojega koje su došle s tobom; ustanite rano èim svane, pa idite.

Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with the servants of thy lord that are come with thee; and as soon as ye are up early in the morning, and have light, depart.

11 I urani David i ljudi njegovi, i otide rano, i vrati se u zemlju Filistejsku; a Filisteji otidoše u Jezrael.

So 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 Jezreel.
