1 Samuel 21
1 Then David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was full of fear at meeting David, and said to him, Why are you by yourself, having no man with you?
Тада Давид дође у Нов к Ахимелеху свештенику; а Ахимелех се уплаши и истрча пред Давида, и рече му: Зашто си сам, и нема никога с тобом?
2 And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has given me orders and has said to me, Say nothing to anyone about the business on which I am sending you and the orders I have given you: and a certain place has been fixed to which the young men are to go.
А Давид рече Ахимелеху свештенику: Цар ми нешто заповеди, и рече ми: Нико да не дозна зашто те шаљем и шта сам ти заповедио. А слуге сам оправио у то и то место.
3 So now, if you have here five cakes of bread, give them into my hand, or whatever you have.
Него шта имаш при руци? Дај ми пет хлебова, или шта имаш.
4 And the priest, answering David, said, I have no common bread here but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.
А свештеник одговори Давиду и рече: Немам при руци обичног хлеба; него има светог хлеба; али јесу ли се момци чували од жена?
5 And David in answer said to the priest, Certainly women have been kept from us; and as has been done before when I have gone out the arms of the young men were made holy, even though it was a common journey; how much more today will their arms be made holy.
А Давид одговори свештенику и рече му: Није било жена код нас ни јуче ни ономадне, откако сам пошао, и судови су у момака били свети. А ако би пут и нечист био, осветиће се данас судовима.
6 So the priest gave him the holy bread: there was no other, only the holy bread which had been taken from before the Lord, so that new bread might be put in its place on the day when it was taken away.
Тада му даде свештеник хлебове свете, јер не беше хлеба осим хлебова постављених, који беху узети испред Господа да се поставе хлебови топли онај дан кад се они узеше.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, kept back before the Lord; his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the strongest of Saul's runners.
А онде беше онај дан један од слуга Саулових бавећи се пред Господом, коме име беше Доик Идумејац, старешина над пастирима Сауловим.
8 And David said to Ahimelech, Have you no sword or spear with you here? for I have come without my sword and other arms, because the king's business had to be done quickly.
И Давид рече Ахимелеху: Имаш ли ту какво копље или мач? Јер ни мача свог ни оружја не понесох, јер ствар царева беше хитна.
9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you put to death in the valley of Elah, is here folded in a cloth at the back of the ephod: take that, if you will, for there is no other sword here. And David said, there is no other sword like that; give it to me.
А свештеник рече: Овде је мач Голијата Филистејина, ког си убио у долини Или, увијен у платно иза оплећака; ако хоћеш, узми га, јер другог осим њега нема овде. А Давид рече: Таквог више нема, дај ми га.
10 Then David got up and went in flight that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish, the king of Gath.
Потом се подиже Давид, и побеже онај дан од Саула, и дође к Ахису, цару гатском.
11 And the servants of Achish said to him, Is not this David, the king of the land? did they not make songs about him in their dances, saying, Saul has put to death thousands, and David tens of thousands?
А Ахису рекоше слуге његове: Није ли ово Давид, цар земаљски? Нису ли о њему певали играјући и говорећи: Саул згуби своју хиљаду, а Давид својих десет хиљада?
12 And David took these words to heart, fearing Achish, the king of Gath.
И Давид метну ове речи у срце своје, и побоја се веома Ахиса, цара гатског.
13 So changing his behaviour before them, he made it seem as if he was off his head, hammering on the doors of the town, and letting the water from his mouth go down his chin.
И претвори се пред њима и учини се луд у рукама њиховим; и шараше по вратима, и бацаше пену низ браду своју.
14 Then Achish said to his servants, Look! the man is clearly off his head; why have you let him come before me?
И Ахис рече слугама својим: Ето, видите да је човек луд; што сте ми га довели?
15 Are there not enough unbalanced men about me, that you have let this person come and do such tricks before me? is such a man to come into my house?
Зар немам доста лудих, него ми доведосте тога да лудује преда мном? Зар ће тај ући у кућу моју?
