< 1 Samuel 21 >

1 David went to the town of Nob to see Ahimelek the priest. Ahimelek was trembling in fear when he met him, and he asked, “Why are you here alone? Why isn't there anybody with you?”
Kalpasanna, dimteng ni David idiay Nob tapno sarakenna ni Ahimelec a padi. Agtigtigerger ni Ahimelec a nangsabat kenni David ket kinunana kenkuana, “Apay nga agmaymaysaka ken apay nga awan ti kaduam?”
2 “The king has given me an assignment,” David replied. “He told me ‘Nobody must know anything about the assignment I have sent you to do.’ As for my men, I've told them where to meet me.
Kinuna ni David kenni Ahimelec a padi, “Imbaonnak ti ari iti maysa a panggep ket kinunana kaniak, 'Awan koma ti makaammo maipapan iti pangibabaonak kenka, ken ti maipapan iti imbilinko kenka.' Imbaonko dagiti agtutubo a lallaki iti maysa lugar.
3 So what do you have on hand to eat? Let me have five loaves of bread, or whatever you can find.”
Ita ngarud, ania ti adda kenka dita? Ikkannak koma iti lima a pidaso a tinapay, wenno uray ania nga adda ditoy.”
4 “There's no ordinary bread,” the priest told David, “but there's some holy bread, as long as your men have not slept with any women lately.”
Simmungbat ti padi kenni David a kunana, “Awan ti tinapay ita ditoy a mabalin a kanen ti siasinoman, ngem ti laeng adda ditoy ket ti tinapay a naidaton- no dagiti agtutubo a lallaki ket saan a nakikaidda kadagiti babbai.”
5 “We have not slept with any women,” David answered. “In fact that's the rule when I lead the troops on mission. They keep themselves pure even during ordinary missions, and all the more so right now.”
Simmungbat ni David iti padi, “Maipanamnamak a tallon nga aldaw a saankami a nakikaidda kadagiti babbai. Idi nagrubwatak, dagiti bagi dagitoy a lallaki ket napagtalinaedda a nadalus iti imatang ni Yahweh, uray no daytoy ket gagangay a panagdaliasat. Ad-adda ngarud ita a mapagtalinaed ti kinadalus dagiti bagbagida iti imatang ni Yahweh.”
6 So the priest gave him the holy bread as they didn't have any other bread there except this “Bread of the Presence,” which had been removed from the presence of the Lord that day and replaced with fresh bread.
Isu nga inted ti padi kenkuana ti tinapay a naidaton kenni Yahweh. Ta awan ti tinapay sadiay, ti laeng tinapay a naidaton kenni Yahweh a masukatan iti kalutluto a tinapay no maikkat daytoy iti nakaikabilanna.
7 One of Saul's servants happened to be there that day, trying to make himself right with the Lord. He was Doeg the Edomite, Saul's chief shepherd.
Ita, maysa kadagiti adipen ni Saul ket adda sadiay iti dayta nga aldaw, ta kapilitan nga agtalinaed isuna sadiay. Ti naganna ket Doeg a taga-Edom, a pangulo dagiti agay-aywan iti arban ni Saul.
8 “Have you got a spear or sword here?” David asked Ahimelech. “I didn't bring my sword or any of my weapons with me, because what the king needed me to do was urgent.”
Kinuna ni David kenni Ahimelec, “Adda kadi uray ania a gayang wenno kampilan dita? Ta awan ti naitugotko a kampilanko wenno uray ania nga igamko, gapu ta kasapulan a mapanak a dagus iti pangibabaonan kaniak ti ari.”
9 The priest replied, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine is here—the one you killed in the Valley of Elah. It's wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. You can take it if you want. It's the only one here.” “It's better than any other sword! Please give it to me,” David replied.
Kinuna ti padi, “Adda ditoy ti kampilan ni Goliat a Filisteo a pinapataymo idiay tanap ti Ela, nabalkot iti maysa a lupot ket nailinged iti efod. No kayatmo nga alaen dayta, alaem, ta awanen ti sabali nga igam ditoy malaksid iti dayta.” Kinuna ni David, “Awanen ti sabali a kampilan a kas iti dayta; itedmo kaniak.”
10 David ran away from Saul that day and went to Achish, king of Gath.
Nagrubwat ni David ket linibasanna ni Saul iti dayta nga aldaw ket napan kenni Akis nga ari iti Gat.
11 But Achish's officials asked the king, “Isn't this David, the king of that country? Didn't they sing about him in their dances, ‘Saul has killed his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?”
Kinuna dagiti adipen ni Akis kenkuana, “Saan kadi a daytoy ti David nga ari iti daga? Saan kadi nga insalsalada ti panangikankantada iti maipapan kenkuana, 'Pinatay ni Saul ti rinibribu ket ni David ket sangapulo a ribu?'
12 David listened carefully to what they said and this made him very afraid of Achish, the king of Gath.
Naimula iti puso ni David dagitoy a sasao ket kasta unay ti butengna kenni Akis nga ari ti Gat.
13 So he changed the way he acted toward them and pretended to be crazy. He scratched marks on the town gates and let his spit run down his beard.
Binaliwannna ti panagtigtignayna ket nagpammarang nga agbagtit iti imatangda; sinuratsuratanna dagiti ruangan ti pagserkan ken baybay-anna nga agayus ti katayna iti barbasna.
14 Achish told his officials, “Look, you can see the man is completely mad! Why did you bring him to me?
Ket kinuna ni Akis kadagiti adipenna, “Kitaenyo, agbagtit met gayam daytoy a tao. Apay nga inyegyo isuna kaniak?
15 Is it because I need more mad people that you've brought this man to go crazy right in front of me? Do you think I'm going to let him come into my house?”
Agkurangak kadi pay aya iti agbagtit, isu nga inyegyo daytoy a tao nga agaramid iti kas iti dayta iti imatangko? Pudno kadi nga umay daytoy a tao iti balayko?”
