1 Samuel 21
1 Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said to him, Why are thou alone, and no man with thee?
David el som nu yorol Ahimelech, mwet tol in acn Nob. Ahimelech el rarrar ke el illa in sonol David, ac el siyuk sel David, “Efu ku kom mukena tuku nu inge?”
2 And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has commanded me a business, and has said to me, Let no man know anything of the business about which I send thee, and what I have commanded thee, and I have assigned the young men to such and such a place.
Ac David el fahk, “Nga tuku ke sap lal tokosra. El mu nga in tia fahk nu sin kutena mwet ma el supweyu in oru uh. A funu mwet luk uh, oasr sie acn nga fahkang nu selos elos in sunyu we.
3 Now therefore what is under thy hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever there is present.
Na fuka, oasr mwe mongo yurum? Ase limekosr lof in bread an, ac kutepacna ma oasr yurum.”
4 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread. If only the young men have kept themselves from women.
Na mwet tol sac fahk, “Wangin bread yuruk sayen bread mutal mukena. Tuh kom ku in eis, mwet lom ingan fin tia muta yurin mutan ke pacl fototo somla.”
5 And David answered the priest, and said to him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days. When I came out the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was but a common journey. How much more then today shall their vessels be holy?
Ac David el fahk, “Ke mukuikui nukewa lasr, mwet luk inge elos taranulos tuh elos in nasnas fal nu ke alu lasr, ac inge elos oru yohk liki, mweyen kut fahsr ke sie sripa na yohk!”
6 So the priest gave him holy bread, for there was no bread there but the showbread that was taken from before Jehovah to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
Ke ma inge mwet tol sac sang bread mutal nu sel David, ke sripen wangin pac bread saya yorol, a bread inge ma sriyukla nu sin God, su tufahna itukla liki tepu mutal ac ayaolla ke bread sasu.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before Jehovah. And his name was Doeg the Edomite, the foremost of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.
(Doeg, sie mwet Edom su sifen un mwet liyaung kosro natul Saul, el muta ingo in len sac ke sripen el enenu in akfalye sie ma kunal ke alu.)
8 And David said to Ahimelech, And is there not here under thy hand spear or sword? For I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.
David el siyuk sel Ahimelech, “Oasr osra in fakfuk ku cutlass yurum kom ku in se nu sik? Elya lal tokosra nu sik oru nga tiana us cutlass nutik ah, ku kutena mwe mweun luk.”
9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou killed in the vale of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If thou will take that, take it, for there is no other except that here. And David said, There is none like that. Give it to me.
Ac Ahimelech el topuk, “Cutlass se natul Goliath, mwet Philistia se kom tuh uniya Infahlfal Elah ah, pa oasr yuruk. Pa nukla oan tukun nuknuk ephod se lun mwet tol ingo. Kom fin lungse, kom eis, tuh pa na ingan ma oasr inge.” Na David el fahk, “Ase nu sik. Wangin pac sie cutlass wo liki!”
10 And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
Na David el som. El kaing lukel Saul ac som nu yorol Achish, tokosra lun Gath.
11 And the servants of Achish said to him, Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
Mwet pwapa lal Tokosra Achish elos fahk nu sel, “Ku tia David pa inge, tokosra lun mutunfacl sel ah? Pa inge mwet se ma mutan uh onkakin ac fahk, ‘Saul el uniya tausin, a David el uniya ngoul tausin.’”
12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
Kas lalos inge arulana mokle nunak lal David, oru el arulana sangeng sel Tokosra Achish.
13 And he changed his behavior before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.
Na pa pacl nukewa mwet inge fin tuku apkuran nu yorol David, el ac orala lumahl oana in mwet wel se. Elos fin srike in kutongilya el ac lofongla. El ac muta kulaus mutunpot in siti uh, ac ani lal uh pasrkeya alut lal uh.
14 Then Achish said to his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad. Why then have ye brought him to me?
Na Tokosra Achish el fahk nu sin mwet pwapa lal, “Liye, mwet se inge el wel! Efu kowos ku usalu nu yuruk?
15 Do I lack madmen, that ye have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?
Ya tia oasr tari mwet wel yenu, na mwe mea kowos in sifilpa use sie in orekma lofong ac aklokoalokyeyu inkul sik sifacna?”
