1 Samuel 29

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Los filisteos concentraron todo su ejército en Afeq, mientras que los israelitas acamparon en la fuente que hay en Yizreel.	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.
2 Los tiranos de los filisteos marcharon al frente de las centurias y millares; David y sus hombres marchaban a retaguardia con Akís.	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.
3 Dijeron los jefes de los filisteos: «¿Qué hacen estos hebreos?» Akís respondió a los jefes de los filisteos: «Es David, el servidor de Saúl, el rey de Israel; ha estado conmigo un año o dos y no he hallado nada contra él desde el día en que vino a mí hasta hoy».	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?”
4 Pero los tiranos de los filisteos se irritaron contra él y le dijeron: «Manda regresar a ese hombre y que se vuelva al lugar que le señalaste. Que no baje con nosotros a la batalla, no sea que se vuelva contra nosotros durante la lucha. ¿Cómo se ganará éste el favor de su dueño mejor que con las cabezas de estos hombres?	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?
5 No es éste David de quien cantaban en coro: Saúl mató sus millares y David sus miríadas?»	5 Is not this the David, about whom they were singing, while dancing, saying: ‘Saul struck down his thousands, but David his ten thousands?’ ”
6 Akís llamó a David y le dijo: «! Vive Yahveh! que tú eres leal y me hubiera gustado que salieras y entraras conmigo en el campamento, pues nada malo he hallado en ti desde el día en que viniste a mí hasta hoy, pero no eres bien visto por los tiranos.	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.
7 Ahora vuélvete y vete en paz, y así no harás nada malo a los ojos de los tiranos de los filisteos».	7 Therefore, return, and go in peace, so that you do not offend the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.”
8 David dijo a Akís: «¿Qué he hecho yo y qué has hallado en tu siervo, desde el día en que me puse a tu servicio hasta hoy, para que no pueda ir a luchar contigo contra los enemigos del rey, mi señor?»	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?”
9 Respondió Akís a David: «Bien sabes que me eres grato como un ángel de Dios; pero los tiranos filisteos han dicho: “No bajará al combate con nosotros.”	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.’
10 Levántate, pues, de mañana, con los servidores de tu señor que han venido contigo e id al sitio que os he asignado. No guardes resentimiento en tu corazón, porque me eres grato. Levantaos de mañana y partid en cuanto sea de día».	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.”
11 David y sus hombres se levantaron temprano para partir por la mañana y volverse a la tierra de los filisteos. Los filisteos por su parte subieron a Yizreel.	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.
