Prva knjiga o Samuelu 29

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Davida Filistejci skupiše sve svoje čete u Afeku, a Izraelci se utaboriše kod izvora u Jizreelu.	1 The Philistines mustered al their forces at Aphek while the Israelites pitched camp near the spring inJezreel.
2 Filistejski su knezovi prolazili sa svojim stotinama i tisućama, a David i njegovi ljudi išli su sasvim na kraju s Akišem.	2 The Philistine commanders marched past with their hundreds and their thousands, and David and hismen brought up the rear with Achish.
3 Filistejski knezovi zapitaše: »Što hoće ti Hebreji ovdje?« A Akiš odgovori filistejskim knezovima: »Pa ovo je David, sluga izraelskoga kralja Šaula! Već je godinu-dvije kod mene, ali nisam našao na njemu ništa sumnjivo od onoga dana kad je prebjegao k meni pa do današnjega dana.«	3 The Philistine chiefs asked, 'What are these Hebrews doing?' Achish replied to them, 'Why, this isDavid the servant of Saul, king of Israel, who has been with me for the last year or two. I have had no fault to findwith him from the day he gave himself up to me until the present time.'
4 Ali filistejski knezovi planuše na njega i rekoše mu: »Pošalji toga čovjeka natrag, neka se vrati na mjesto koje si mu označio. Neka ne ide s nama u boj, da se ne okrene protiv nas u boju! Čime bi se on opet umilio svome gospodaru ako ne glavama ovih naših ljudi?	4 But the Philistine chiefs were angry with him. 'Send the man back,' they said, 'make him go back to theplace which you assigned to him. He cannot go into battle with us, in case he turns on us once battle is joined.Would there be a better way for the man to regain his master's favour than with the heads of these men here?
5 To je onaj isti David o kome se pjevalo igrajući: ‘Pobi Šaul svoje tisuće, David na desetke tisuća!’«	5 Is not this the David of whom they sang as they danced: Saul has kil ed his thousands, and David histens of thousands'?
6 Tada Akiš dozva Davida i reče mu: »Živoga mi Jahve, ti si pošten i meni bi drago bilo da me pratiš u pokretima moje vojske, jer nisam našao nikakva zla na tebi od onoga dana kad si došao k meni pa do današnjega dana. Ali nisi drag u očima knezova.	6 So Achish called David and said, 'As Yahweh lives, you are loyal, and I am quite content with al yourdoings in our campaigning together, since I have found no fault with you from the day you came to me until thepresent time. But you are not acceptable to the chiefs.
7 Zato se sada vrati i otiđi s mirom kući da ne ozlovoljiš filistejske knezove!«	7 So go home, in peace, rather than antagonise them.'
8 David odvrati Akišu: »Ta što sam učinio i što si zamjerio svome sluzi od onoga dana kad sam stupio u tvoju službu pa do današnjega dana da ne mogu ići da se bijem s neprijateljima svoga gospodara kralja?«	8 'But what have I done,' David asked Achish, 'what fault have you had to find with your servant from theday I entered your service to the present time, for me not to be al owed to go and fight the enemies of my lordthe king?'
9 A Akiš odgovori Davidu: »Ti znaš da si mi drag kao Božji anđeo, ali su filistejski knezovi rekli: ‘Neka ne ide s nama u boj!’	9 In reply, Achish said to David, 'In my opinion, it is true, you are as good as an angel of God; but thePhilistine chiefs have said, "He must not go into battle with us."
10 Zato ustanite rano ujutro, ti i sluge tvoga gospodara koji su došli s tobom, i otiđite na mjesto koje sam vam označio. I nemoj gajiti u svom srcu nikakve mržnje jer si mi mio. Ustat ćete, dakle, u rano jutro, čim svane, i otići ćete!«	10 So get up early tomorrow morning, with your master's servants who came with you, and go to theplace which I assigned to you. Do not harbour resentment, since personal y I have no fault to find with you. Getup early tomorrow morning and, as soon as it is light, be off.'
11 Tako David sa svojim ljudima ustade rano i krenu odmah ujutro i vrati se u filistejsku zemlju, a Filistejci odoše u Jizreel.	11 So David and his men got up early to leave at dawn and go back to Philistine territory. And thePhilistines marched on Jezreel.
