1 Samuel 29
1 The Philistia army gathered at Aphek [Valley, which is near Shunem]. The Israelis set up their tents at Jezreel [city, which was in the same valley].
Filistejci so torej vse svoje vojske zbrali skupaj k Aféku, Izraelci pa so se utaborili pri studencu, ki je v Jezreélu.
2 The kings of Philistia divided their men into groups; some groups had 100 soldiers and some groups had 1,000 soldiers. David and his men were marching behind, with King Achish.
Knezi izmed Filistejcev so šli mimo po stotnijah in po tisočnijah, toda David in njegovi možje so šli mimo v zadnji straži z Ahíšem.
3 But the Philistia commanders asked, “What are these Hebrews [doing here, marching with us to battle]?” Achish replied, “[Their leader is] David. [He] previously worked for King Saul of Israel, but now he has been living near me for more than a year. During all the time since he left Saul, I have not seen/found that he has any faults.”
Potem so princi Filistejcev rekli: »Kaj počnejo tukaj ti Hebrejci?« Ahíš je rekel princem Filistejcev: » Ali ni to David, služabnik Savla, Izraelovega kralja, ki je bil z menoj te dni ali ta leta in v njem nisem našel nobenega madeža, odkar je pripadel k meni, do tega dne?«
4 But the Philistia army commanders were angry with Achish [for allowing David’s army to be going with them]. They said to him, “Send David [and his men] back to the city that you gave to him! We do not want him to go with us into the battle. [If he goes with us, ] we will have an enemy in our own midst! He would please King Saul by killing our own soldiers [RHQ]!
Filistejski princi pa so bili ogorčeni nad njim in filistejski princi so mu rekli: »Primoraj tega pajdaša, da se vrne, da bo lahko ponovno šel na svoj kraj, ki si mu ga določil in naj ne gre z nami dol v bitko, da nam v bitki ne bi bil nasprotnik, kajti s čim se bo prikupil svojemu gospodarju? Ali naj to ne bi bilo z glavami teh ljudi?«
5 [Have you forgotten that] David is the one about whom the Israelis dance and sing, saying, ‘Saul has killed 1000 of our enemies, but David has killed 10,000 of them!’?”
Ali ni to David, o katerem so druga drugi pele v plesih, rekoč: »Savel je usmrtil svoje tisoče, David pa svoje deset tisoče?«
6 So Achish summoned David, and said to him, “Just as surely as Yahweh lives, you have been loyal to me. I would like very much for you to fight along with my army. Since the day that you came to me, I have not found/seen that you have any faults. But the other Philistia rulers do not trust you.
Potem je Ahíš poklical Davida in mu rekel: »Zagotovo, kakor Gospod živi, si bil pošten in tvoje odhajanje in tvoje prihajanje z menoj v vojsko je dobro v mojem pogledu, kajti nisem našel zla v tebi od dneva tvojega prihoda k meni, do tega dne, pa vendar ti knezi niso naklonjeni.
7 So all of you go back home, and I hope/desire that things will go well for you. I do not want you(sg) to do anything that the other rulers of Philistia will not be pleased with.”
Zato se sedaj vrni in pojdi v miru, da ne razžališ filistejskih knezov.«
8 David replied, “What wrong have I done? Since the day that I first came to you until today, have I done anything that you think is evil? Your majesty, why will you not allow me to go and fight against your enemies?”
David je rekel Ahíšu: »Toda kaj sem storil? Kaj si našel na svojem služabniku, dokler sem bil s teboj, do tega dne, da se ne smem iti bojevat zoper sovražnike svojega gospoda kralja?«
9 Achish replied, “I know that you are as just as good as an angel from God. But the commanders of my army have said, ‘We will not allow David [and his men] to go with us into the battle.’
Ahíš je odgovoril in Davidu rekel: »Vem, da si dober v mojih očeh, kakor Božji angel. Vendar so princi Filistejcev rekli: ›Ta ne bo šel z nami gor v bitko.‹
10 So early tomorrow morning you and your men must leave. Get up as soon as it is light and leave.”
Zato sedaj vstani zgodaj zjutraj s služabniki svojega gospoda, ki so prišli s teboj in takoj, ko boste zgodaj zjutraj pokonci in imeli svetlobo, odidite.«
11 So David and his men got up early the following morning and returned to the area where the Philistia people lived. And the Philistia army went up to Jezreel.
Tako so David in njegovi možje zgodaj zjutraj vstali, da odrinejo, da se vrnejo v deželo Filistejcev. Filistejci pa so šli gor k Jezreélu.
