1 Samuel 21
1 Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech was shaking in fear when he met David, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one with you?"
David el som nu yorol Ahimelech, mwet tol in acn Nob. Ahimelech el rarrar ke el illa in sonol David, ac el siyuk sel David, “Efu ku kom mukena tuku nu inge?”
2 And David said to the priest, "The king has given me orders, and he instructed me, 'No one must know of the matter about which I send you, or about your orders; and I have arranged to meet the young men at a certain place.'
Ac David el fahk, “Nga tuku ke sap lal tokosra. El mu nga in tia fahk nu sin kutena mwet ma el supweyu in oru uh. A funu mwet luk uh, oasr sie acn nga fahkang nu selos elos in sunyu we.
3 Now, if there are five loaves of bread under your control, give them into my hand, or whatever there is."
Na fuka, oasr mwe mongo yurum? Ase limekosr lof in bread an, ac kutepacna ma oasr yurum.”
4 And the priest answered David, and said, "There is no common bread in my control, but there is holy bread. If the young men have kept themselves from women, they may eat of it."
Na mwet tol sac fahk, “Wangin bread yuruk sayen bread mutal mukena. Tuh kom ku in eis, mwet lom ingan fin tia muta yurin mutan ke pacl fototo somla.”
5 And David answered the priest, and said to him, "Truly women have been kept from us as always when I set out. All the young men are holy, even when it is an ordinary mission. So how much more today will their vessels be holy?"
Ac David el fahk, “Ke mukuikui nukewa lasr, mwet luk inge elos taranulos tuh elos in nasnas fal nu ke alu lasr, ac inge elos oru yohk liki, mweyen kut fahsr ke sie sripa na yohk!”
6 So the priest gave him what had been consecrated, for there was no bread there but the show bread, that had been removed before YHWH, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
Ke ma inge mwet tol sac sang bread mutal nu sel David, ke sripen wangin pac bread saya yorol, a bread inge ma sriyukla nu sin God, su tufahna itukla liki tepu mutal ac ayaolla ke bread sasu.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before YHWH; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.
(Doeg, sie mwet Edom su sifen un mwet liyaung kosro natul Saul, el muta ingo in len sac ke sripen el enenu in akfalye sie ma kunal ke alu.)
8 David said to Ahimelech, "Isn't there here under your control spear or sword? For I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste."
David el siyuk sel Ahimelech, “Oasr osra in fakfuk ku cutlass yurum kom ku in se nu sik? Elya lal tokosra nu sik oru nga tiana us cutlass nutik ah, ku kutena mwe mweun luk.”
9 The priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, look, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind an ephod. If you will take that, take it; for there is no other except that here." David said, "There is none like that. Give it to me."
Ac Ahimelech el topuk, “Cutlass se natul Goliath, mwet Philistia se kom tuh uniya Infahlfal Elah ah, pa oasr yuruk. Pa nukla oan tukun nuknuk ephod se lun mwet tol ingo. Kom fin lungse, kom eis, tuh pa na ingan ma oasr inge.” Na David el fahk, “Ase nu sik. Wangin pac sie cutlass wo liki!”
10 David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
Na David el som. El kaing lukel Saul ac som nu yorol Achish, tokosra lun Gath.
11 The servants of Achish said to him, "Isn't this David the king of the land? Did they not sing one to another about him in dances, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands?'"
Mwet pwapa lal Tokosra Achish elos fahk nu sel, “Ku tia David pa inge, tokosra lun mutunfacl sel ah? Pa inge mwet se ma mutan uh onkakin ac fahk, ‘Saul el uniya tausin, a David el uniya ngoul tausin.’”
12 David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
Kas lalos inge arulana mokle nunak lal David, oru el arulana sangeng sel Tokosra Achish.
13 He changed his behavior before them, and pretended to be mad in their hands, and drummed on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle run down his beard.
Na pa pacl nukewa mwet inge fin tuku apkuran nu yorol David, el ac orala lumahl oana in mwet wel se. Elos fin srike in kutongilya el ac lofongla. El ac muta kulaus mutunpot in siti uh, ac ani lal uh pasrkeya alut lal uh.
14 Then Achish said to his servants, "Look, you see the man is mad. Why then have you brought him to me?
Na Tokosra Achish el fahk nu sin mwet pwapa lal, “Liye, mwet se inge el wel! Efu kowos ku usalu nu yuruk?
15 Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?"
Ya tia oasr tari mwet wel yenu, na mwe mea kowos in sifilpa use sie in orekma lofong ac aklokoalokyeyu inkul sik sifacna?”
