< 1 Samuel 21 >

1 Then came Dauid to Nob, to Ahimelech the Priest, and Ahimelech was astonied at the meeting of Dauid, and saide vnto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
Potem je David prišel v Nob, k duhovniku Ahimélehu in Ahiméleh se je bal ob srečanju z Davidom in mu je rekel: »Zakaj si sam in ni nikogar s teboj?«
2 And Dauid saide to Ahimelech the Priest, The King hath commanded mee a certaine thing, and hath sayd vnto me, Let no man know whereabout I sende thee, and what I haue commanded thee: and I haue appointed my seruants to such and such places.
David je rekel duhovniku Ahimélehu: »Kralj mi je zapovedal opravilo in mi rekel: ›Naj noben človek ne izve karkoli o opravilu, s katerim te pošiljam in kaj sem ti zapovedal in svoje služabnike sem določil na takšen in takšen kraj.‹
3 Nowe therefore if thou hast ought vnder thine hande, giue me fiue cakes of bread, or what commeth to hand.
Zdaj torej kaj je pod tvojo roko? Daj mi pet hlebov kruha v roko ali kar je prisotnega.«
4 And the Priest answered Dauid, and saide, There is no common bread vnder mine hande, but here is halowed bread, if the yong men haue kept themselues, at least from women.
Duhovnik je Davidu odgovoril in rekel: » Tam ni običajnega kruha pod mojo roko, temveč je posvečen kruh, če so se vsaj mladeniči zadržali pred ženskami.«
5 Dauid then answered the Priest, and sayde vnto him, Certainely women haue bene separarate from vs these two or three dayes since I came out: and the vessels of the yong men were holy, though the way were prophane, and how much more then shall euery one be sanctified this day in the vessell?
David je odgovoril duhovniku in mu rekel: »Resnično so bile ženske zadržane pred nami te tri dni, odkar sem prišel ven in posode mladeničev so svete in kruh je nekako običajen, da, kot bi bil ta dan posvečen v posodi.«
6 So the Priest gaue him halowed bread: for there was no bread there, saue the shewe bread that was taken from before the Lord, to put hote bread there, the day that it was taken away.
Tako mu je duhovnik dal posvečenega kruha, kajti tam ni bilo kruha, razen hleba navzočnosti, kar je bilo vzeto izpred Gospoda, da se položi vroč kruh na dan, ko je bil ta vzet.
7 (And there was the same day one of the seruants of Saul abiding before the Lord, named Doeg the Edomite, the chiefest of Sauls heardmen)
Torej nek mož izmed Savlovih služabnikov se je ta dan zadrževal tam pred Gospodom in njegovo ime je bilo Doég, Edómec, glavni izmed črednikov, ki so pripadali Savlu.
8 And Dauid said vnto Ahimelech, Is there not here vnder thine hand a speare or a sworde? for I haue neither brought my sworde nor mine harnesse with me, because the Kings businesse required haste.
David je rekel Ahimélehu: »In ali ni tukaj pod tvojo roko sulica ali meč? Kajti s seboj nisem prinesel niti svojega meča niti svojih orožij, ker je kraljev posel zahteval naglico.«
9 And the Priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistim, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapt in a cloth behinde the Ephod: if thou wilt take that to thee, take it: for there is none other saue that here: And Dauid sayd, There is none to that, giue it me.
Duhovnik je rekel: »Meč Filistejca Goljata, ki si ga umoril v dolini Elá, glej, ta je tukaj, za efódom zavit v oblačilo. Če hočeš vzeti tega, ga vzemi, kajti nobenega drugega ni, razen tega tukaj.« David je rekel: »Nobenega ni podobnega temu; daj mi ga.«
10 And Dauid arose and fled the same day from the presence of Saul, and went to Achish the King of Gath.
David se je vzdignil in tisti dan iz strahu pred Savlom pobegnil in šel k Ahíšu, kralju v Gatu.
11 And the seruants of Achish said vnto him, Is not this Dauid the King of the land? did they not sing vnto him in daunces, saying, Saul hath slayne his thousand, and Dauid his ten thousande?
Ahíševi služabniki so mu rekli: » Ali ni to David, kralj dežele? Ali niso prepevale druga drugi o njem v plesih, rekoč: ›Savel je umoril svoje tisoče, David pa svoje deset tisoče?‹«
12 And Dauid considered these wordes, and was sore afraide of Achish the King of Gath.
David si je te besede položil v svoje srce in se boleče bal Ahíša, kralja iz Gata.
13 And hee changed his behauiour before them, and fayned him selfe mad in their handes, and scrabled on the doores of the gate, and let his spettel fall downe vpon his beard.
Pred njimi je spremenil svoje obnašanje in v njihovih rokah se je hlinil zmešanega in praskal po vhodih velikih vrat in si svojo slino pustil izlivati na svojo brado.
14 Then said Achish vnto his seruants, Lo, ye see the man is beside him selfe, wherefore haue ye brought him to me?
Potem je Ahíš rekel svojim služabnikom: »Glejte no! Vidite, človek je zmešan. Zakaj ste ga torej privedli k meni?
15 Haue I neede of mad men, that ye haue brought this fellowe to play the mad man in my presence? shall he come into mine house?
Mar potrebujem zmešanih ljudi, da ste pripeljali tega pajdaša, da igra norca v moji prisotnosti? Ali naj ta pajdaš pride v mojo hišo?«
