1 Samuel 29

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Now all the troops of the Philistines were gathered together to Aphec: and Israel also camped by the fountain which is in Jezrahel.	1 وجمع الفلسطينيون جميع جيوشهم الى افيق. وكان الاسرائيليون نازلين على العين التي في يزرعيل.
2 And the lords of the Philistines marched with their hundreds and their thousands: but David and his men were in the rear with Achis.	2 وعبر اقطاب الفلسطينيين مئات والوفا وعبر داود ورجاله في الساقة مع اخيش.
3 And the princes of the Philistines said to Achis: What mean these Hebrews? And Achis said to the princes of the Philistines: Do you not know David, who was the servant of Saul the king of Israel, and hath been with me many days, or years, and I have found no fault in him, since the day that he fled over to me until this day?	3 فقال رؤساء الفلسطينيين ما هؤلاء العبرانيون. فقال اخيش لرؤساء الفلسطينيين أليس هذا داود عبد شاول ملك اسرائيل الذي كان معي هذه الايام او هذه السنين ولم اجد فيه شيئا من يوم نزوله الى هذا اليوم.
4 But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him, and they said to him: Let this man return, and abide in his place, which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest he be an adversary to us, when we shall begin to fight: for how can he otherwise appease his master, but with our heads?	4 وسخط عليه رؤساء الفلسطينيين وقال له رؤساء الفلسطينيين ارجع الرجل فيرجع الى موضعه الذي عيّنت له ولا ينزل معنا الى الحرب ولا يكون لنا عدوا في الحرب. فبماذا يرضي هذا سيده. أليس برؤوس اولئك الرجال.
5 Is not this David, to whom they sung in their dances, saying: Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?	5 أليس هذا هو داود الذي غنّين له بالرقص قائلات ضرب شاول الوفه وداود ربواته
6 Then Achis called David, and said to him: As the Lord liveth, thou art upright and good in my sight: and so is thy going out, and thy coming in with me in the army: and I have not found my evil in thee, since the day that thou camest to me unto this day: but thou pleasest not the lords.	6 فدعا اخيش داود وقال له حيّ هو الرب انك انت مستقيم وخروجك ودخولك معي في الجيش صالح في عينيّ لاني لم اجد فيك شرا من يوم جئت اليّ الى اليوم واما في اعين الاقطاب فلست بصالح.
7 Return therefore, and go in peace, and offend not the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.	7 فالآن ارجع واذهب بسلام ولا تفعل سوءا في اعين اقطاب الفلسطينيين
8 And David said to Achis: But what have I done, and what hast thou found in me thy servant, from the day that I have been in thy sight until this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?	8 فقال داود لاخيش فماذا عملت وماذا وجدت في عبدك من يوم صرت امامك الى اليوم حتى لا آتي واحارب اعداء سيدي الملك.
9 And Achis answering said to David: I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: but the princes of the Philistines have said: He shall not go up with us to the battle.	9 فاجاب اخيش وقال لداود علمت انك صالح في عينيّ كملاك الله. الا ان رؤساء الفلسطينيين قالوا لا يصعد معنا الى الحرب.
10 Therefore arise in the morning, thou, and the servants of thy lord, who came with thee: and when you are up before day, and it shall begin to be light, go on your way.	10 والآن فبكر صباحا مع عبيد سيدك الذين جاءوا معك واذا بكرتم صباحا واضاء لكم فاذهبوا.
11 So David and his men arose in the night, that they might set forward in the morning, and returned to the land of the Philistines: and the Philistines went up to Jezrahel.	11 فبكر داود هو ورجاله لكي يذهبوا صباحا ويرجعوا الى ارض الفلسطينيين. واما الفلسطينيون فصعدوا الى يزرعيل
