1 Samuel 29

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS
1 Then all the troops of the Philistines were gathered together at Aphek. But Israel also made camp, above the spring which is in Jezreel.	1 Los filisteos concentraron todas sus fuerzas en Aféc, y los israelitas acamparon junto a la fuente que está en Izreel.
2 And indeed, the princes of the Philistines advanced by hundreds and by thousands; but David and his men were in the rear with Achish.	2 Los príncipes de los filisteos avanzaban al frente de divisiones de cien y de mil, mientras que David y sus hombres marchaban a la retaguardia con Aquís.
3 And the leaders of the Philistines said to Achish, “What do these Hebrews intend to do?” And Achish said to the leaders of the Philistines: “Could you be ignorant about David, who was the servant of Saul, the king of Israel, and who has been with me for many days, even years, and I have not found within him anything, from the day that he fled to me, even to this day?”	3 Entonces los jefes filisteos preguntaron: «¿Qué hacen aquí esos hebreos?». Aquís les respondió: «¿No ven que es David, el servidor de Saúl, rey de Israel? Ya hace uno o dos años que está conmigo, y no lo he sorprendido en ninguna falla, desde que se pasó a mi servicio hasta el día de hoy».
4 Then the leaders of the Philistines became angry against him, and they said to him: “Let this man return, and let him settle in his place, which you appointed for him. But let him not descend with us to battle, lest he become an adversary to us when we begin to fight. For in what other way will he be able to please his lord, except with our heads?	4 Pero los jefes filisteos se irritaron contra Aquís y le dijeron: «¡Despide a ese hombre! Que se vuelve al lugar que le has asignado y no baje a combatir con nosotros, no sea que lo tengamos como adversario en pleno combate. ¿Con qué va a congraciarse con su señor sino con la cabeza de estos hombres?
5 Is not this the David, about whom they were singing, while dancing, saying: ‘Saul struck down his thousands, but David his ten thousands?’ ”	5 ¿No es él acaso ese David de quien decían, cantando y bailando: «Saúl ha matado a miles y David a decenas de miles?».
6 Therefore, Achish called David, and he said to him: “As the Lord lives, you are good and righteous in my sight, even in your departure and your return with me in the military camp. And I have not found anything evil in you, from the day that you came to me, even to this day. But you are not pleasing to the princes.	6 Entonces Aquís llamó a David y le dijo: «¡Por la vida del Señor, tú eres un hombre derecho! Me gusta verte actuar conmigo en el ejército, porque no te he sorprendido en nada malo, desde que te presentaste a mí hasta el día de hoy. Pero tú no eres persona grata a los príncipes.
7 Therefore, return, and go in peace, so that you do not offend the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.”	7 Por eso, vuélvete en paz, y así no harás nada que desagrade a los príncipes de los filisteos».
8 And David said to Achish, “But what have I done, or what have you found in me, your servant, from the day that I was in your sight to this day, so that I may not go out and fight against the enemies of my lord, the king?”	8 David dijo a Aquís: «¿Qué he hecho? ¿Has sorprendido a tu servidor en alguna falla, desde que entré a tu servicio hasta hoy, para que no pueda ir a combatir contra los enemigos de mi señor, el rey?».
9 And in response, Achish said to David: “I know that you are good in my sight, like an angel of God. But the leaders of the Philistines have said: ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’	9 Aquís respondió a David: «Sí, ya lo sé. Tú eres tan grato a mis ojos como un ángel de Dios. Pero los jefes filisteos han dicho que no subas con nosotros al combate.
10 And so, rise up in the morning, you and the servants of your lord who came with you. And when you have risen up in the night, as it begins to be light, go forth.”	10 Levántase entonces mañana bien temprano, tú y los servidores de tu señor que vinieron contigo, y váyanse de aquí apenas aclare».
11 And so David rose up in the night, he and his men, so that they might set out in the morning. And they returned to the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines ascended to Jezreel.	11 David y sus hombres se levantaron bien temprano, para partir de madrugada y regresar al país de los filisteos. Estos, por su parte, subieron a Izreel.
