1 Samuel 21

1 Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why are you alone, and no man with you?

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 David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king has commanded me a business, and has said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabouts I send you, and what I have commanded you: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.

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 Now therefore what is under your hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.

Zdaj torej kaj je pod tvojo roko? Daj mi pet hlebov kruha v roko ali kar je prisotnega.«

4 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves 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 And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Truthfully 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, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.

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 gave him hallowed 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.

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 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 chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.

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 David said unto 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.

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 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.

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 David arose and fled that day for fear 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 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 has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

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 David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid 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 he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scratch on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon 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 unto his servants, Lo, all of you see the man is mad: wherefore then have all of you brought him to me?

Potem je Ahíš rekel svojim služabnikom: »Glejte no! Vidite, človek je zmešan. Zakaj ste ga torej privedli k meni?

15 Have I need of mad men, that all of you have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?

Mar potrebujem zmešanih ljudi, da ste pripeljali tega pajdaša, da igra norca v moji prisotnosti? Ali naj ta pajdaš pride v mojo hišo?«
