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, towards Aphek, —and, the Israelites, were encamping by the fountain, that 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, were passing on by hundreds, and by thousands, —but, David and his men, were passing on in the rear, 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 are these Hebrews [doing]? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines—Is not this David, servant of Saul king of Israel, who hath been with me this year, or two, and I have found in him nothing, from the day of his coming over 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 raged against him, and the princes of the Philistines said unto him—Let the man go back, that he may return unto the place which thou didst appoint him, and let him not go down with us, into battle, so shall he not become to us a traitor, in the battle, —for, wherewith, should this fellow gain favour with his lord? Would it not be with the heads of those 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 made responses in the dances, saying, —Saul, hath smitten, his thousands, But, David, his, tens of 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.

So Achish called for David, and said unto him—By the life of Yahweh, surely, upright, thou art, and, pleasing in mine eyes, have been thy going out and thy coming in with me, in the host, for I have found in thee no wrong, from the day of thy coming in unto me, until this day, —but, in the eyes of the lords, displeasing, thou art.

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

Now, therefore, return, and go in peace, —so shalt thou not do wrong in the eyes of 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?

Then said David unto Achish—But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant, from the day that I came before thee, unto this day, —that I may not go in and fight, with 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.

Then answered Achish, and said unto David, I acknowledge that, pleasing, thou art in mine eyes, as a messenger of God, —notwithstanding, the princes of the Philistines, have said, He shall not go up with us, into the battle.

10 Nego ustani sjutra rano sa slugama gospodara svojega koje su došle s tobom; ustanite rano èim svane, pa idite.

Now, therefore, rise up early in the morning, thou and the servants of thy lord who have come with thee, —yea, as soon as ye have risen early in the morning, and have light, then 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, —but, the Philistines, went up to Jezreel.
