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?
Y vino David a Nobe a Aquimelec el sacerdote, y Aquimelec le salió a recibir espantado, y díjole: ¿Cómo vienes tú solo, y nadie contigo?
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.
Y respondió David a Aquimelec el sacerdote: El rey me encomendó un negocio, y me dijo: Nadie sepa cosa alguna de este negocio a que yo te envío, y que yo te he mandado: y yo señalé a los criados un cierto lugar.
3 So now, if you have here five cakes of bread, give them into my hand, or whatever you have.
Por tanto ¿qué tienes ahora a mano? Dáme cinco panes en mi mano, o lo que se hallare.
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.
Y el sacerdote respondió a David, y dijo: No tengo pan común a la mano: solamente tengo pan sagrado. Mas si los criados se han guardado, mayormente de mujeres.
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.
Y David respondió al sacerdote y díjole: De cierto las mujeres nos han sido vedadas desde ayer, y desde anteayer cuando salí: y los vasos de los mozos fueron santos, aunque el camino es profano: cuanto más que hoy será santificado con los vasos.
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.
Así el sacerdote le dio el pan sagrado, porque allí no había otro pan, que los panes de la proposición, que habían sido quitados de delante de Jehová, para que se pusiesen panes calientes el día que los otros fueron quitados.
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.
Aquel día estaba allí uno de los siervos de Saul encerrado delante de Jehová, el nombre del cual era Doeg Idumeo, príncipe de los pastores de Saul.
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.
Y David dijo a Aquimelec: ¿No tienes aquí a mano lanza, o espada? Porque no tomé en mi mano mi espada ni mis armas: porque el mandamiento del rey era de priesa.
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.
Y el sacerdote respondió: La espada de Goliat el Filisteo, que tú venciste en el valle del Alcornoque, está aquí envuelta en un velo detrás del efod: Si tú te la quieres tomar, tóma la: porque aquí no hay otra sino aquella. Y David dijo: No hay otra tal; dámela.
10 Then David got up and went in flight that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish, the king of Gath.
Y levantándose David aquel día, huyo de la presencia de Saul, y vínose a Aquis rey de Get.
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?
Y los siervos de Aquis le dijeron: ¿No es este David el rey de la tierra? ¿No es este a quién cantaban en los corros, diciendo: Hirió Saul sus miles, y David sus diez miles?
12 And David took these words to heart, fearing Achish, the king of Gath.
Y David puso estas palabras en su corazón, y tuvo gran temor de Aquis rey de Get.
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.
Y mudó su habla delante de ellos: y fingióse ser loco entre las manos de ellos: y escribía en las portadas de las puertas, dejando correr su saliva por su barba.
14 Then Achish said to his servants, Look! the man is clearly off his head; why have you let him come before me?
Y dijo Aquis a sus siervos: Catád; ¿Habéis visto un hombre furioso? ¿por qué le habéis traído a mí?
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?
¿Fáltanme a mi locos, qué trajeseis este, que hiciese del loco delante de mí? ¿Este había de venir a mi casa?
