撒上29:1 非利士人把他们所有的军队都聚集在亚弗，以色列人却在耶斯列的泉旁安营。
撒上29:1 Now the Philistines got all their army together at Aphek: and the Israelites put their forces in position by the fountain in Jezreel.
撒上29:2 非利士人的首领各率领百人或千人前进；大卫和跟随他的人也跟在亚吉的后面前进。
撒上29:2 And the lords of the Philistines went on with their hundreds and their thousands, and David and his men came after with Achish.
撒上29:3 非利士人的领袖说：“这些希伯来人在这里作什么？”亚吉对非利士人的领袖说：“这人不是以色列王扫罗的臣仆大卫吗？他已经在我这里有好些年日了。自从他降服我的一天，直到今日，我未曾发现他有什么过错。”
撒上29:3 Then the rulers of the Philistines said, What are these Hebrews doing here? And Achish said to the rulers of the Philistines, Is this not David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me for a year or two, and I have never seen any wrong in him from the time when he came to me till now?
撒上29:4 非利士人的领袖向亚吉发怒，对他说：“你叫这人回去，好让他回到你为他安排的地方去。他不可与我们一同下战场，免得他在战场上成为我们的对头。这人可用什么去得他主人的欢心呢？岂不是用我们这些人的头吗？
撒上29:4 But the rulers of the Philistines were angry with him, and said to him, Make the man go back to the place you have given him; do not let him go down with us to the fight, or he may be turned against us and be false to us: for how will this man make peace with his lord? will it not be with the heads of these men?
撒上29:5 这人不就是大卫吗？从前以色列的妇女向他歌唱跳舞说：‘扫罗杀死千千，大卫杀死万万！’”
撒上29:5 Is this not David, who was named in their songs, when in the dance they said to one another, Saul has put to death thousands, and David tens of thousands?
撒上29:6 亚吉把大卫叫来，对他说：“我指着永活的耶和华说，你是正直的人，你与我在军中出入，我感到很满意，因为自从你到我这里来的那一天，直到今日，我未曾在你身上找到什么过失；只是各首领不喜欢你。
撒上29:6 Then Achish sent for David and said to him, By the living Lord, you are upright, and everything you have done with me in the army has been pleasing to me: I have seen no evil in you from the day when you came to me till now: but still, the lords are not pleased with you.
撒上29:7 现在，你可以回去，平平安安走吧！不要行非利士人的首领看为恶的事。”
撒上29:7 So now go back, and go in peace, so that you do not make the lords of the Philistines angry.
撒上29:8 大卫对亚吉说：“我作了什么呢？自从我来到你面前的那一天，直到今日，你在仆人身上找到什么，使我不能与我主我王的仇敌争战呢？”
撒上29:8 And David said to Achish, But what have I done? what have you seen in your servant while I have been with you till this day, that I may not go and take up arms against those who are now making war on my lord the king?
撒上29:9 亚吉回答大卫，说：“我知道你在我眼中是个好人，像 神的使者一样；只是非利士人的领袖曾经说过：‘他不可与我们一同上战场。’
撒上29:9 And Achish in answer said, It is true that in my eyes you are good, like an angel of God: but still, the rulers of the Philistines have said, He is not to go up with us to the fight.
撒上29:10 所以明天早晨，你和跟你来的人，就是你主人的仆人都要清早起来。你们明天早晨都要早起，天一亮你们就要离开。”
撒上29:10 So get up early in the morning, with the servants of your lord who are with you, and go to the place I have given you, and have no evil design in your heart, for you are good in my eyes; but when there is light enough in the morning, go away.
撒上29:11 于是大卫和跟随他的人清早起来，一早就离开，回到非利士人的地去。非利士人也上耶斯列去了。
撒上29:11 So David and his men got up early in the morning to go back to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
