1 Samuel 21
1 And David comes to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest, and Ahimelech trembles at meeting David and says to him, “Why [are] you alone, and no man [is] with you?”
Niheo mb’amy Nobe mb’ amy Akimeleke mpisoroñe mb’eo t’i Davide le nihondrahondra mb’amy Davide mb’eo t’i Akimeleke, nanao ty hoe: Manao akore te ihe jòriñe tsy ama’ondaty?
2 And David says to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has commanded me [on] a matter, and he says to me, Let no man know anything of the matter about which I send you, and which I have commanded you; and [my] young men know [to go] to such and such a place.
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Akimeleke mpisoroñe; namantok’ ahy i mpanjakay ami’ty hoe: Ko ampahoniñe’o ndra ia’ia o añirahako azoo, i nandiliako azoy; vaho fa niraheko mb’an-koe’ an-koe o ajalahio.
3 And now, what is there under your hand? Give five loaves into my hand, or that which is found.”
Aa le ino ty ambane fità’o? vonga-mofo lime? atoloro an-tañako, ndra ze zoeñe ao.
4 And the priest answers David and says, “There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if only the youths have been kept from women.”
Le hoe ty natoi’ i mpisoroñey amy Davide: Tsy ama’ mofo tsotra, fa mofo miavake avao naho toe tsy nañarine ampela o ajalahio.
5 And David answers the priest and says to him, “Surely, if women have been restrained from us as before in my going out, then the vessels of the young men are holy, and it [is] a common way; and also, surely it is sanctified today in the vessel.”
Le hoe ty natoi’ i Davide amy mpisoroñey, Toe sinebañe tsy ho ama’ay o ampelao ze andro telo izay; ie niakatse mb’etoa, le miavake ty horo’ o ajalahio ndra te tsotra ty lia, àntsak’ anito te hiavake o horo’ iareoo.
6 And the priest gives the holy thing to him, for there was no bread there except the Bread of the Presentation, which is turned aside from the presence of YHWH to put hot bread [there] in the day of its being taken away.
Aa le tinolo’ i mpisoroñey mofo miavake; fa tsy tao ty mofo naho tsy i mofo miatreke natsoake boak’ añatrefa’ Iehovà nasolo ty mofo mafana amy andro nampitsoahañe azeiy.
7 And there [is] a man of the servants of Saul detained before YHWH on that day, and his name [is] Doeg the Edomite, chief of the shepherds whom Saul has.
(Teo amy andro zay ty mpitoro’ i Saole, tambatse aolo’ Iehovà; i Doege ty tahina’e, nte-Edome, mpiaolo o mpiara’ i Saoleo.)
8 And David says to Ahimelech, “And is there not spear or sword here under your hand? For I have taken neither my sword nor my vessels in my hand, for the matter of the king was urgent.”
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Akimeleke: Tsy ho ambanem-pità’o atoa hao ty lefoñe ndra fibara? izaho tsy ninday ndra fibara ndra o fialiakoo amy te nimeke ty raha’ i mpanjakay.
9 And the priest says, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck in the Valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapped in a garment behind the ephod, if you take it to yourself, take; for there is none other except it in this [place].” And David says, “There is none like it—give it to me.”
Le hoe i mpisoroñey: ty fibara’ i Goliate nte-Pilisty zinevo’o am-bavatane’ i Elà, ingo, miforokoko an-damba an-kalo’ o kitambeo; rambeso t’ie no’o; fa tsy aman-tovo’e ty atoa. Le hoe t’i Davide, Tsy eo ty mañirinkiriñe aze, atoloro ahy.
10 And David rises and flees on that day from the face of Saul, and comes to Achish king of Gath;
Niongak’ amy zao t’i Davide, nibioñe mb’eo ami’ty fihembaña’e i Saole vaho nimb’e Akise mpanjaka’ i Gate mb’eo.
11 and the servants of Achish say to him, “Is this not David, the king of the land? Is it not of this one [that] they sing in dances, saying, Saul struck among his thousands, and David among his myriads?”
Le hoe ty asa’ o mpitoro’ i Akiseo ama’e: Tsy i Davide mpanjaka’ i taney hao toke? Tsy ie ty nitakasie’ iereo an-tsinjake, ty hoe: Fa namono ty arivo’e t’i Saole, naho ty aleale’e t’i Davide?
12 And David lays these words in his heart, and is exceedingly afraid of the face of Achish king of Gath,
Nahaja’ i Davide an-tro’e ao i entañe zay, vaho nihembaña’e t’i Akise mpanjaka’ i Gate.
13 and changes his behavior before their eyes, and feigns himself mad in their hand, and scribbles on the doors of the gate, and lets down his spittle to his beard.
Aa le novae’e añatrefa’ iereo ty vinta’e nanao sare gege am-pità’ iareo, nanokitsokitse an-dalam-bey eo naho nampiorihe’e am-bolon-tsoma’e ty ìve’e.
14 And Achish says to his servants, “Behold, you see a man acting as a madman; why do you bring him to me?
Le hoe t’i Akise amo mpitoro’eo, Heheke te seretse t’indaty tiañe; ino ty nandesa’ areo aze amako?
15 Am I lacking madmen, that you have brought in this one to act as a madman before me? Does this one come into my house?”
Mipay ondaty gege hao iraho te nandesa’ areo atoy hihisa ami’ty hagegea’e añatrefako etoa? Himoak’ añ’ anjombako ao hao t’indaty tia?
