1Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by the spring which is in Jezreel.
1وجمع الفلسطينيون جميع جيوشهم الى افيق. وكان الاسرائيليون نازلين على العين التي في يزرعيل.
2The lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rear with Achish.
2وعبر اقطاب الفلسطينيين مئات والوفا وعبر داود ورجاله في الساقة مع اخيش.
3Then the princes of the Philistines said, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, “Isn’t this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell away to this day?”
3فقال 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.
4But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, “Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where you have appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us. For with what should this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Should it not be with the heads of these men?
4وسخط 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.
5Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands?’”
5أليس هذا هو داود الذي غنّين له بالرقص قائلات ضرب شاول الوفه وداود ربواته
6Then Achish called David, and said to him, “As Yahweh lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, the lords don’t favor you.
6فدعا 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.
7Therefore now return, and go in peace, that you not displease the lords of the Philistines.”
7فالآن ارجع واذهب بسلام ولا تفعل سوءا في اعين اقطاب الفلسطينيين
8David said to Achish, “But what have I done? What have you found in your servant so long as I have been before you to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
8فقال داود لاخيش فماذا عملت وماذا وجدت في عبدك من يوم صرت امامك الى اليوم حتى لا آتي واحارب اعداء سيدي الملك.
9Achish answered David, “I know that you are good in my sight, as an angel of God. Notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’
9فاجاب اخيش وقال لداود علمت انك صالح في عينيّ كملاك الله. الا ان رؤساء الفلسطينيين قالوا لا يصعد معنا الى الحرب.
10Therefore now rise up early in the morning with the servants of your lord who have come with you; and as soon as you are up early in the morning, and have light, depart.”
10والآن فبكر صباحا مع عبيد سيدك الذين جاءوا معك واذا بكرتم صباحا واضاء لكم فاذهبوا.
11So David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. The Philistines went up to Jezreel.
11فبكر داود هو ورجاله لكي يذهبوا صباحا ويرجعوا الى ارض الفلسطينيين. واما الفلسطينيون فصعدوا الى يزرعيل
