1 Samuel 27
1 और दाऊद सोचने लगा, अब मैं किसी न किसी दिन शाऊल के हाथ से नाश हो जाऊंगा; अब मेरे लिये उत्तम यह है कि मैं पलिश्तियों के देश में भाग जाऊं; तब शाऊल मेरे विषय निराश होगा, और मुझे इस्राएल के देश के किसी भाग में फिर न ढूढ़ेगा, यों मैं उसके हाथ से बच निकलूंगा।
2 तब दाऊद अपने छ: सौ संगी पुरूषों को ले कर चला गया, और गत के राजा माओक के पुत्र आकीश के पास गया।
3 और दाऊद और उसके जन अपने अपने परिवार समेत गत में आकीश के पास रहने लगे। दाऊद तो अपनी दो स्त्रियों के साथ, अर्थात यिज्रेली अहीनोअम, और नाबाल की स्त्री कर्मेली अबीगैल के साथ रहा।
4 जब शाऊल को यह समाचार मिला कि दाऊद गत को भाग गया है, तब उसने उसे फिर कभी न ढूंढ़ा
5 दाऊद ने आकीश से कहा, यदि मुझ पर तेरे अनुग्रह की दृष्टि हो, तो देश की किसी बस्ती में मुझे स्थान दिला दे जहां मैं रहूं; तेरा दास तेरे साथ राजधनी में क्योंरहे?
6 जब आकीश ने उसे उसी दिन सिकलग बस्ती दी; इस कारण से सिकलग आज के दिन तक यहूदा के राजाओं का बना है॥
7 पलिश्तियों के देश में रहते रहते दाऊद को एक वर्ष चार महीने बीत गए।
8 और दाऊद ने अपने जनों समेत जा कर गशूरियों, गिजिर्यों, और अमालेकियों पर चढ़ाई की; ये जातियां तो प्राचीन काल से उस देश में रहती थीं जो शूर के मार्ग में मिस्र देश तक है।
9 दाऊद ने उस देश को नाश किया, और स्त्री पुरूष किसी को जीवित न छोड़ा, और भेड़-बकरी, गाय-बैल, गदहे, ऊंट, और वस्त्र ले कर लौटा, और आकीश के पास गया।
10 आकीश ने पूछा, आज तुम ने चढ़ाई तो नहीं की? दाऊद ने कहा, हां, यहूदा यरहमेलियों और केनियों की दक्खिन दिशा में।
11 दाऊद ने स्त्री पुरूष किसी को जीवित न छोड़ा कि उन्हें गत में पहुंचाए; उसने सोचा था, कि ऐसा न हो कि वे हमारा काम बताकर यह कहें, कि दाऊद ने ऐसा ऐसा किया है। वरन जब से वह पलिश्तियों के देश में रहता है, तब से उसका काम ऐसा ही है।
12 तब आकीश ने दाऊद की बात सच मानकर कहा, यह अपने इस्राएली लागों की दृष्टि में अति घृणित हुआ है; इसलिये यह सदा के लिये मेरा दास बना रहेगा॥
1 And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.
2 And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife.
4 And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
5 And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?
6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.
7 And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
8 And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.
9 And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.
10 And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.
11 And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines.
12 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.
1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
