< 1 Samuel 21 >

1 Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest; and Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said unto him: 'Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?'
Tad Dāvids nāca uz Nobu pie priestera Aķimeleka, un Aķimeleks gāja Dāvidam drebēdams pretī un uz to sacīja: kāpēc tu nāci viens pats, un neviena tev nav līdz?
2 And David said unto Ahimelech the priest: 'The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me: Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee; and the young men have I appointed to such and such a place.
Tad Dāvids sacīja uz priesteri Aķimeleku: ķēniņš man kādu lietu ir pavēlējis un uz mani sacījis: lai neviens nekā nezin no tās lietas, par ko es tevi esmu sūtījis, un ko es tev esmu pavēlējis; un saviem puišiem es esmu pavēlējis, tai un tai vietā uz mani gaidīt.
3 Now therefore what is under thy hand? five loaves of bread? give them in my hand, or whatsoever there is present.'
Nu tad, kas tev ir pie rokas? Dod man kādas piecas maizes, vai, kas atrodas.
4 And the priest answered David, and said: 'There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.'
Tad tas priesteris Dāvidam atbildēja un sacīja: še man nav ikdienišķas maizes pie rokas, bet vien tās svētās maizes; ja tikai tie puiši no sievām būs noturējušies.
5 And David answered the priest, and said unto him: 'Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days; when I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was but a common journey; how much more then to-day, when there shall be holy bread in their vessels?'
Tad Dāvids tam priesterim atbildēja un uz to sacīja: tiešām, sievas no mums ir nost bijušas vakar un aizvakar, kamēr es izgāju, un to puišu lietas bija svētas. Lai nu tas ceļš gan nav svēts, tomēr tas šodien taps svētīts caur to ieroci.
6 So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away. —
Tad tas priesteris tam deva svētu maizi, tāpēc ka citas maizes tur nebija, kā vien tās priekšliekamās maizes, kas no Tā Kunga vaiga bija atņemtas, ka atkal jaunas taptu uzliktas tai dienā, kad viņas tiek atņemtas.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul. —
Un tur bija viens vīrs no Saula kalpiem tai dienā ieslēgts Tā Kunga priekšā, un viņa vārds bija Doēgs, viens Edomietis, virsnieks pār Saula ganiem.
8 And David said unto Ahimelech: 'And is there peradventure here under thy hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.'
Un Dāvids sacīja uz Aķimeleku: vai tavā rokā nav kāds šķēps vai zobens? Jo es nedz savu zobenu nedz savas bruņas neesmu līdzi ņēmis, tāpēc ka ķēniņa lieta bija steidzama.
9 And the priest said: 'The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the vale of Elah, 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.'
Tad tas priesteris sacīja: Fīlista Goliata zobens, ko tu ozolu ielejā nokāvi, redzi, tas ir še vienā drēbē ietīts aiz efoda; ja tu to gribi, tad ņem, jo te cita nav kā tas vien. Tad Dāvids sacīja: cita tāda nav, dod man to.
10 And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
Un Dāvids cēlās un bēga tai dienā no Saula un nāca pie Aķisa, Gatas ķēniņa.
11 And the servants of Achish said unto him: 'Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying: Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?'
Tad Aķisa kalpi uz to sacīja: vai šis nav Dāvids, tās zemes ķēniņš? Vai no tā netapa dziedāts ar stabulēm un sacīts: Sauls tūkstošus kāvis, bet Dāvids desmit tūkstošus.
12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
Un Dāvids šos vārdus ņēma pie sirds un bijās ļoti no Aķisa, Gatas ķēniņa.
13 And he changed his demeanour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.
Tāpēc viņš izlikās ārprātīgs priekš viņu acīm un kā traks apakš viņu rokām kasīja vārtu durvis, un siekalas tam notecēja bārdā.
14 Then said Achish unto his servants: 'Lo, when ye see a man that is mad, wherefore do ye bring him to me?
Tad Aķis sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: raugi, jūs redzat, ka tas vīrs ir traks, kāpēc jūs to pie manis esat atveduši?
15 Do I lack madmen, that ye have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?'
Vai man traku nav diezgan, ka jūs šo pie manis esat atveduši, manā priekšā trakot, - vai tad tam būs nākt manā namā?
