1 Samuel 21
1 Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said to him, Why are you alone, and no man with you?
A HELE aku la o Davida ma Noba io Ahimeleka la ke kahuna: a makau iho la o Ahimeleka i ka halawai ana me Davida, i aku la ia ia, No ke aha la o oe wale no, aohe kanaka me oe.
2 And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has commanded me a business, and has said to me, Let no man know any thing of the business about which I send you, and what I have commanded you: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.
I mai la o Davida ia Ahimeleka i ke kahuna, Ua kauoha mai ke alii ia'u i kekahi mea, a ua i mai ia'u, Mai hoike iki i kekahi kanaka i ka mea a'u i hoouna aku ai ia oe, a me ka mea a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oe: a ua hoonoho aku au i na kauwa no kela wahi a me keia wahi.
3 Now therefore what is under your hand? give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or what there is present.
Ano hoi, heaha ka mea malalo o kou lima? e haawi mai oe ma kuu lima i na pai berena elima, a i na mea paha i loaa.
4 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under my hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.
Olelo aku la ke kahuna ia Davida, i aku la, Aohe berena laa ole malalo o kuu lima, aka, he berena laa no nae; ina paha ua hookaokoa na kanaka ui mai na wahine aku.
5 And David answered the priest, and said to him, Of a truth 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, yes, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.
Olelo aku la o Davida i ke kahuna, i aku la ia ia, He oiaio, ua hookaawaleia na wahine mai o makou aku i neia mau la ekolu paha, i ko'u hele ana mai, a ua maemae na ipu o na kanaka ui nei, a ua like keia me ka berena laa ole, oiaio hoi ka mea i hoolaaia i keia la ilalo o na ipu.
6 So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the show bread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
A haawi aku la ke kahuna i ka berena laa ia ia; no ka mea, aohe berena e ae malaila, o ka berena hoike wale no, i laweia mai ke alo o Iehova mai, no ka waiho ana i ka berena mahana i ka la i laweia aku ai oia.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the most chief of the herdsmen that belonged to Saul.
Aia no ilaila kekahi kanaka o na kauwa a Saula ia la, e kali ana imua o Iehova, o Doega kona inoa, no Edoma, he luna o na kahuhipa o Saula.
8 And David said to Ahimelech, And is there not here under your hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.
Ninau aku la o Davida ia Ahimeleka, Aole anei he ihe maanei malalo o kou lima, a he pahikaua paha? no ka mea, aole au i lawe mai nei i kuu pahikaua, aole hoi i ka'u mea kaua, no ka wikiwiki o ka ke alii mea.
9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you slew in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if you will take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.
I mai la ke kahuna, O ka pahikaua a Golia ke kanaka Pilisetia au i pepehi ai ma ke awawa o Ela, aia hoi ia i wahiia i ka lole aahu mahope o ka epoda; a i lawe oe ia mea, e lawe, no ka mea, aohe pahi e ae, oia wale no. I aku la o Davida, Aohe mea e like ana me ia, e haawi mai ia ia'u.
10 And David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
Ku ae la o Davida, a holo ia la mai ke alo aku o Saula, a hele mai io Akisa la ke alii o Gata.
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 slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
I mai la na kauwa a Akisa ia ia, Aole anei keia o Davida, ke alii o ka aina? aole anei lakou i mele ai kekahi i kekahi nona me ka haa ana, i ka i ana'e, He mau tausani ka Saula i pepehi ai, he umi tausani hoi ka Davida?
12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
A waiho iho la o Davida i keia mau olelo maloko o kona naau, a makau nui iho la ia Akisa ke alii o Gata.
13 And he changed his behavior before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard.
A hoololi ae la ia i kona ano imua o lakou, a hoohalike ia ia iho me he hehena la iloko o ko lakou lima, a kahakaha aku la ia ma na pani o na ipuka, a helelei iho la kona kuha ma kona umiumi.
14 Then said Achish to his servants, See, you see the man is mad: why then have you brought him to me?
A olelo aku la o Akisa i kana poe kauwa, Aia hoi, e nana oukou, ua hehena neia kanaka: no ke aha la oukou i lawe mai ia ia io'u nei?
15 Have I need of mad men, that you have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?
He pono anei au i na mea hehena, i lawe mai ai oukou ia ia nei e hoohalike me he hehena la imua ou? e komo anei ia maloko o kuu hale?
