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 armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a 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: but David and his men passed on in the rear guard 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, which has been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell 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?

And the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which you have appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary to us: for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master? 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 slew 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, Surely, as the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour you 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 you 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 have you found in your servant so long as I have been with you unto this day, that I may not go 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 you are 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 your master's servants that are come with you: and as soon as all of you be 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 and his men rose up early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
