1 Samuelova 27
1 Ali David reèe u srcu svojem: poginuæu kadgod od ruke Saulove; nema bolje za me nego da pobjegnem u zemlju Filistejsku, te æe me se Saul okaniti i neæe me više tražiti po krajevima Izrailjevijem; tako æu se izbaviti iz ruku njegovijeh.
And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: [there is] nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.
2 Tada se podiže David i otide sa šest stotina ljudi koji bijahu s njim k Ahisu sinu Maohovu caru Gatskom.
And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that [were] with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3 I osta David kod Ahisa u Gatu i ljudi njegovi, svaki sa svojom porodicom, David sa dvije žene svoje, Ahinoamom iz Jezraela i Avigejom iz Karmila ženom Navalovom.
And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, [even] David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife.
4 I kad javiše Saulu da je David utekao u Gat, presta ga tražiti.
And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
5 A David reèe Ahisu: ako sam našao milost pred tobom, neka mi dadu mjesto u kom gradu ove zemlje, da sjedim ondje, jer zašto da sjedi sluga tvoj s tobom u carskom gradu?
And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?
6 I dade mu Ahis onoga dana Siklag. Zato Siklag pripada carevima Judinijem do današnjega dana.
Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.
7 I osta David u zemlji Filistejskoj godinu i èetiri mjeseca.
And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
8 I izlažaše David sa svojim ljudima, i udaraše na Gesureje i Gerzeje i na Amalike; jer ti narodi življahu od starine u onoj zemlji od Sura pa do zemlje Misirske.
And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those [nations were] of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.
9 I pustošaše David onu zemlju ne ostavljajuæi u životu ni èovjeka ni žene, i otimaše ovce i volove i magarce i kamile i ruho, i vraæajuæi se dolažaše k Ahisu.
And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.
10 I Ahis pitaše: gdje ste danas udarali? A David govoraše: na južnu stranu Judinu, i na južnu stranu Jerameilsku, i na južnu stranu Kenejsku.
And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.
11 Ali ne ostavljaše David u životu ni èovjeka ni žene da dovede u Gat govoreæi: da nas ne tuže govoreæi: tako je uradio David. I taki mu bijaše obièaj za sve vrijeme dokle bijaše u zemlji Filistejskoj.
And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring [tidings] to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so [will be] his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines.
12 I Ahis vjerovaše Davidu, i govoraše: baš se omrazio s narodom svojim Izrailjem; zato æe mi biti sluga dovijeka.
And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.
