< 1 Samuel 21 >

1 And David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest; and Ahimelech trembled at meeting David, and said to him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
पुजारी अहीमेलेकलाई भेट्न दाऊद नोबमा गए । अहीमेलेक डरले काम्दै दाऊदलाई भेट्न आए र तिनलाई भने, “तपाईं किन एक्‍लै हुनुहुन्‍छ र तपाईंसँग कोही पनि छैनन्?”
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 whereon I send thee, and what I have commanded thee; and I have directed the young men to such and such a place.
दाऊदले पुजारी अहीमेलेकलाई भने, “राजाले मलाई एउटा काममा पठाउनुभएको छ र यस्‍तो हुकुम गर्नुभएको छ, 'जुन कामको बारेमा मैले तिमीलाई पठाएको छु र मैले तिमीलाई जे आज्ञा गरेको छु त्‍यसको बारेमा कसैलाई थाहा नहोस् ।' कुनै निश्‍चित ठाउँमा आउन मैले जवान मानिसहरूलाई निर्देशन दिएको छु ।
3 And now what is under thy hand? give me five loaves in my hand, or what may be found.
अहिले तपाईंसँग के छ? पाँच वटा रोटी वा यहाँ जे छ सो मलाई दिनुहोस् ।”
4 And the priest answered David and said, There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.
पुजारीले दाऊदलाई जवाफ दिए र भने, “मसँग कुनै साधारण रोटी त छैन, तर ती जवान मानिहरू स्‍त्रीहरूबाट अलग बसेका छन् भने यहाँ पवित्र रोटी छ ।
5 And David answered the priest and said to him, Yes indeed, women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the [bread] is in a manner common, and the more so, because to-day [new] is hallowed in the vessels.
दाऊदले पुजारीलाई जवाफ दिए, “सदाझैं बाहिर म जाँदा हामीबाट तिन दिनदेखि स्‍त्रीहरू अलग गरिएको छन् । साधारण काममा जाँदा समेत मानिससित सम्‍बन्‍धित कुरालाई तिनीहरूले शुद्ध राखेका छन् । तिनीहरूसँग भएका कुरालाई आज तिनीहरूले अझ धेरै शुद्ध राखेका छन् ।”
6 And the priest gave him holy [bread]; for there was no bread there but the shew-loaves that were taken from before Jehovah, to put on hot bread in the day when they were taken away.
त्यसैले पुजारीले तिनलाई चढाइएको रोटी दिए । किनकि त्यहाँ उपस्थितिको रोटीबाहेक अरू कुनै रोटी थिएन, जुन रोटी परमप्रभुको सामुबाट हटाएर त्‍यसको सट्टामा तातो रोटी राखिएको थियो ।
7 (Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before Jehovah; and his name was Doeg, the Edomite, chief of the shepherds that [belonged] to Saul.)
त्यस दिन शाऊलका सेवकहरूमध्‍ये एक जना परमप्रभुको सामु रोकिएको थियो । त्यसको नाउँ एदोमी दोएग थियो, जो शाऊलका गोठालाको प्रमुख थियो ।
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, for the king's business was urgent.
दाऊदले अहीमेलेकलाई भने, “के यहाँ कुनै भाला वा तरवार छैन? किनकि मैले न त मेरो तरवार न हतियार नै ल्याएँ, किनभने राजाको काम जरूरी थियो ।”
9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of terebinths, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod; if thou wilt take that, take it; for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that: give it me.
पुजारीले भने, “तपाईंले एलाहको बेसीमा मार्नुभएको पलिश्‍ती गोल्यतको तरवार एपोद पछाडी कपडाले बेह्रेर राखिएको छ । तपाईंलाई त्‍यो लाने इच्‍छा हुन्छ भने त्‍यो लानुहोस्, किनकि यहाँ अरू कुनै हतियार छैन ।” दाऊदले भने, “त्यो जस्‍तो अरू कुनै तरवार छैन । त्‍यो मलाई दिनुहोस् ।”
10 And David arose, and fled that day from before Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
त्यस दिन दाऊद उठे र शाऊलदेखि भागे र गातका राजा आकीशकहाँ गए ।
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 smitten his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
आकीशका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई भने, “के यिनी देशका राजा दाऊद होइनन्? के तिनीहरूले नाचहरूमा एक-आपसमा यसो भनी गाएनन्, 'शाऊलले हजारौलाई मारेका छन्, र दाऊदले दसौं हजारलाई मारेका छन्?'”
12 And David took to heart these words, and was much afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
दाऊदले यस कुरालाई मन लिए र गातका राजा आकीशसँग धेरै डराए ।
13 And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard.
उनीहरूको सामु तिनले आफ्‍नो व्‍यवहार बदले र तिनीहरूकहाँ पागल भएको बाहाना गरे । तिनले प्रवेशद्वारको ढोकाहरूमा लेखे र आफ्‍नो र्‍याल दाह्रीभरि चुहाए ।
14 And Achish said to his servants, Behold, ye see the man is mad: why did ye bring him to me?
तब आकीशले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई भने, “हेर, यो मानिस पागल भएको तिमीहरू देख्‍दैछौ । यसलाई तिमीहरूले मकहाँ किन ल्याएको हौ?
15 have I lack of madmen, that ye have brought this one to rave in my presence? shall this [man] come into my house?
के मसँग पागल मानिसको कमी छ, ताकि तिमीहरूले यसलाई मेरो उपस्थितिमा त्‍यस्‍तै व्यवहार गर्नलाई ल्याएको हौ? के यो मानिस साँच्‍चै नै मेरो घरमा आउनेछ?”
