1 Samuel 21
1 And David came to Nob to Achimelech the priest; and Achimelech hastened trembling to meet David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man is with thee?
Katahi ka tae a Rawiri ki Nopo ki te tohunga ki a Ahimereke. A wiri ana a Ahimereke i te tutakitanga ki a Rawiri, a ka mea ki a ia, He aha koe i haere mai ai, tou kotahi, kahore na hoki ou hoa?
2 And David said unto Achimelech the priest, The king commanded me a business, and said unto me, Let not any man know the least of the business concerning which I send thee, and which I have commanded thee. And the young men have I appointed to such and such a place.
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki te tohunga, ki a Ahimereke, He mea i whakahaua ai ahau e te kingi; i mea mai hoki ia ki ahau, Kei mohiotia e tetahi he kupu o te take ka tonoa atu nei koe e ahau, i whakahaua atu nei koe e ahau. Na, ko nga tangata, kei te wa hi i kiia e ahau mo ratou.
3 And now what hast thou on hand: put five loaves of bread into my hand, or what else can be found.
Na, he aha kei raro i tou ringa? homai etahi taro ki toku ringa, kia rima: etahi atu mea ranei kei konei.
4 And the priest answered David, and said, I have no common bread on hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have only withheld themselves from women.
Na ka utu te tohunga ki a Rawiri, ka mea, Kahore he taro noa i toku ringa: engari tenei te taro tapu; ki te mea raia kahore i tata nga tangata ki te wahine.
5 And David answered the priest and said to him, To a certainty women have been denied us yesterday and the day before, when I went forth, and the vessels of the young men were holy: and if this was the custom with unholy things, how much more will it remain this day holy in the vessels.
Na ka whakahoki a Rawiri ki te tohunga, ka mea ki a ia, He pono kihai tetahi wahine i tukua kia tata ki a matou i enei ra e toru; noku i haere mai nei e tapu ana ano nga mea o nga tamariki, ahakoa ra he haere noa tenei; tera noa atu ia te tapu in aianei o o ratou mea.
6 So the priest gave him hallowed bread; for there was no bread there except the showbread, that was removed from before the Lord, so as to put down hot bread on the day when it was taken away.
Na ka hoatu te mea tapu e te tohunga ki a ia: kahore hoki o reira taro, heoi ano ko te taro aroaro i tangohia nei i te aroaro o Ihowa, kia whakatakotoria ai he taro mahana i te ra i tangohia ai.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there on that day, detained before the Lord; and his name was Doeg, the Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen that belonged to Saul.
Na, i reira tetahi o nga tangata a Haora i taua ra, e whakawarea ana ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ko tona ingoa ko Roeke Eromi, ko te mea tino nui o nga kaitiaki hipi a Haora.
8 And David said unto Achimelech, Hast thou not also here at hand a spear or sword: for both my sword as also my other weapons have I not brought with me, because the king's business was urgent.
Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Ahimereke, Kahore ianei i konei i raro i tou ringa tetahi tao, hoari ranei: kihai hoki i maua mai e ahau taku hoari me aku patu, he mea whakapotatutatu hoki te take a te kingi.
9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou didst slay in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped up in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that for thyself, take it; for there is no other save it here. And David said, There is none like that: give it to me.
Ano ra ko te tohunga, Ko te hoari a Koriata, a te Pirihitini, i patua na e koe ki te raorao o Eraha; nana, koia tenei he mea takai ki te kakahu i muri o te epora. Ki te tangohia tena e koe mau, tangohia; kahore atu hoki, ko tena anake. Na ka mea a Rawiri, Kahore ona rite, homai ki ahau.
10 And David arose, and fled on that day from before Saul, and came to Achish the king of Gath.
Katahi a Rawiri ka whakatika, a rere ana i taua ra ano i te wehi i a Haora, a tae tonu atu ki a Akihi kingi o Kata.
11 And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not of this man sing one to another in the dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
Na ka mea nga tangata a Akihi ki a ia, Ehara ianei tenei i a Rawiri, i te kingi o te whenua? kihai ianei ratou i waiata mona, tetahi ki tetahi i roto i nga kanikani, i mea, Na Haora ana mano i patu, na Rawiri ko ana tekau mano?
12 And David took these words to his heart, and was greatly afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
Na mau tonu iho enei kupu i te ngakau o Rawiri, a nui atu tona wehi i a Akihi kingi a Kata.
13 And he disguised his reason before their eyes, and played the madman in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle run down upon his beard.
Na ka whakaahua ke ia ki to ratou aroaro, a ka whakahaurangi i a ia i roto i a ratou; ka haehae hoki i nga tatau o te kuwaha, a ka tuku i tona huhare kia tarere iho ki tona kimikumi.
14 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see, the man is mad: wherefore then will ye bring him to me?
Katahi a Akihi ka mea ki ana tangata, Nana, kua kite koutou i te tangata nei e haurangi ana; he aha i kawea mai ai ki ahau?
15 Have I lack of madmen, that ye have brought this man to play his pranks about me? shall this one come into my house?
He onge no aku tangata haurangi i kawea mai ai tenei e koutou hei mahi i nga mahi a te haurangi ki ahau? me uru mai koia tenei tahake ki toku whare?
