1 Samuel 29

1 Now the Philistines brought all their forces together at Aphek, while Israel camped by the spring in Jezreel.

1 非利士人把全部军队聚集在亚弗，以色列军则在耶斯列水泉旁扎营。

2 As the Philistine leaders marched out with their units of hundreds and thousands, David and his men marched behind them with Achish.

2 非利士首领统率以百人和千人为单位的士兵向前推进，大卫和他的部下跟着亚吉走在队伍后面。

3 Then the commanders of the Philistines asked, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish replied, “Is this not David, the servant of King Saul of Israel? He has been with me all these days, even years, and from the day he defected until today I have found no fault in him.”

3 非利士人的官长说：“这些希伯来人在这里做什么？”亚吉告诉他们说：“这是以色列王扫罗的臣仆大卫，他追随我有一段日子了，自从他投奔我以来，我没发现他有什么过错。”

4 But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with Achish and told him, “Send that man back and let him return to the place you assigned him. He must not go down with us into battle only to become our adversary during the war. What better way for him to regain the favor of his master than with the heads of our men?

4 他们却生气地说：“请送这个人回到你安置他的地方，他不可和我们一起去打仗，免得他在战场上倒戈。他提着我们的脑袋去重投故主岂不是最好的方法吗？

5 Is this not the David about whom they sing in their dances: ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?”

5 以前妇女们跳舞歌唱‘扫罗杀死千千，大卫杀死万万’，歌颂的不就是这个大卫吗？”

6 So Achish summoned David and told him, “As surely as the LORD lives, you have been upright, and it seems right in my sight that you should march in and out with me in the army, because I have found no fault in you from the day you came to me until this day. But you are not good in the sight of the leaders.

6 亚吉便叫大卫过来，对他说：“我凭永活的耶和华起誓，你一向忠心耿耿，自从你投奔我以来，我没发现你有什么过错，我很愿意你与我一同作战，只是众首领不赞成。

7 Therefore turn back now and go in peace, so that you will not do anything to displease the leaders of the Philistines.”

7 你安心地回去吧，免得他们不悦。”

8 “But what have I done?” David replied. “What have you found against your servant, from the day I came to you until today, to keep me from going along to fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”

8 大卫说：“我究竟做错了什么？自从仆人投奔你以来，你发现仆人有什么过错？为什么不让我为我主我王杀敌呢？”

9 Achish replied, “I know that you are as pleasing in my sight as an angel of God. But the commanders of the Philistines have said, ‘He must not go into battle with us.’

9 亚吉说：“你在我眼中就像上帝的天使一样好，只是非利士众官长反对你与我们一起出战。

10 Now then, get up early in the morning, along with your master’s servants who came with you, and go as soon as it is light.”

10 明天一早，你就和从扫罗手下投奔你的人启程回去吧。”

11 So David and his men got up early in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

11 于是，大卫和部下清早起来返回非利士，非利士军则前往耶斯列。
