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?”
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 “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.
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 what do you have on hand to eat? Let me have five loaves of bread, or whatever you can find.”
Него шта имаш при руци? Дај ми пет хлебова, или шта имаш.
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.”
А свештеник одговори Давиду и рече: Немам при руци обичног хлеба; него има светог хлеба; али јесу ли се момци чували од жена?
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.”
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 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.
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 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.
А онде беше онај дан један од слуга Саулових бавећи се пред Господом, коме име беше Доик Идумејац, старешина над пастирима Сауловим.
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.”
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 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.
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 David ran away from Saul that day and went to Achish, king of Gath.
Потом се подиже Давид, и побеже онај дан од Саула, и дође к Ахису, цару гатском.
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’?”
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 David listened carefully to what they said and this made him very afraid of Achish, the king of Gath.
И Давид метну ове речи у срце своје, и побоја се веома Ахиса, цара гатског.
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.
И претвори се пред њима и учини се луд у рукама њиховим; и шараше по вратима, и бацаше пену низ браду своју.
14 Achish told his officials, “Look, you can see the man is completely mad! Why did you bring him to me?
И Ахис рече слугама својим: Ето, видите да је човек луд; што сте ми га довели?
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?”
Зар немам доста лудих, него ми доведосте тога да лудује преда мном? Зар ће тај ући у кућу моју?
