SMITH VAN DYKENEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 وقال داود في قلبه اني ساهلك يوما بيد شاول فلا شيء خير لي من ان افلت الى ارض الفلسطينيين فييأس شاول مني فلا يفتش عليّ بعد في جميع تخوم اسرائيل فانجو من يده.1 But David said to himself: "I shall perish some day at the hand of Saul. I have no choice but to escape to the land of the Philistines; then Saul will give up his continual search for me throughout the land of Israel, and I shall be out of his reach."
2 فقام داود وعبر هو والست مئة الرجل الذين معه الى اخيش بن معوك ملك جتّ2 Accordingly, David departed with his six hundred men and went over to Achish, son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3 واقام داود عند اخيش في جتّ هو ورجاله كل واحد وبيته داود وامرأتاه اخينوعم اليزرعيلية وابيجايل امرأة نابال الكرملية.3 David and his men lived in Gath with Achish; each one had his family, and David had his two wives, Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal from Carmel.
4 فأخبر شاول ان داود قد هرب الى جتّ فلم يعد ايضا يفتش عليه4 When Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, he no longer searched for him.
5 فقال داود لاخيش ان كنت قد وجدت نعمة في عينيك فليعطوني مكانا في احدى قرى الحقل فاسكن هناك. ولماذا يسكن عبدك في مدينة المملكة معك.5 David said to Achish: "If I meet with your approval, let me have a place to live in one of the country towns. Why should your servant live with you in the royal city?"
6 فاعطاه اخيش في ذلك اليوم صقلغ. لذلك صارت صقلغ لملوك يهوذا الى هذا اليوم.6 That same day Achish gave him Ziklag, which has, therefore, belonged to the kings of Judah up to the present time.
7 وكان عدد الايام التي سكن فيها داود في بلاد الفلسطينيين سنة واربعة اشهر.7 In all, David lived a year and four months in the country of the Philistines.
8 وصعد داود ورجاله وغزوا الجشوريين والجرزيين والعمالقة لان هؤلاء من قديم سكان الارض من عند شور الى ارض مصر.8 David and his men went up and made raids on the Geshurites, Girzites, and Amalekites-peoples living in the land between Telam, on the approach to Shur, and the land of Egypt.
9 وضرب داود الارض ولم يستبق رجلا ولا امرأة واخذ غنما وبقرا وحميرا وجمالا وثيابا ورجع وجاء الى اخيش.9 In attacking the land David would not leave a man or woman alive, but would carry off sheep, oxen, asses, camels, and clothes. On his return he brought these to Achish,
10 فقال اخيش اذا لم تغزوا اليوم. فقال داود بلى. على جنوبي يهوذا وجنوبي اليرحمئيليين وجنوبي القينيين.10 who asked, "Whom did you raid this time?" And David answered, "The Negeb of Judah," or "The Negeb of Jerahmeel," or "The Negeb of the Kenites."
11 فلم يستبق داود رجلا ولا امرأة حتى يأتي الى جتّ اذ قال لئلا يخبروا عنا قائلين هكذا فعل داود. وهكذا عادته كل ايام اقامته في بلاد الفلسطينيين.11 But David would not leave a man or woman alive to be brought to Gath, fearing that they would betray him by saying, "This is what David did." This was his custom as long as he lived in the country of the Philistines.
12 فصدّق اخيش داود قائلا قد صار مكروها لدى شعبه اسرائيل فيكون لي عبدا الى الابد12 And Achish trusted David, thinking, "He must certainly be detested by his people Israel. I shall have him as my vassal forever."
