1 Samuel 21
1 Then came David to Nob, unto Ahimelech, the priest, —and Ahimelech trembled when he met David, and said unto him—Why art thou, alone, and, no man, with thee?
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 unto Ahimelech the priest—The king, hath charged me with a matter, and hath said unto me—Let, no man, know aught of the business on which I am sending thee, and with which I have charged thee, —But, unto the young men, have I appointed, such and such a 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, therefore, what is there under thy hand? Five loaves, give thou into my hand, —or, whatever can be found.
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 under my hand, —but, hallowed bread, there is, if the young men have kept themselves, at least from women.
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—Of a truth, women, have been withheld from us, of late, through my coming out, and the wallets of the young men have become hallowed, —while [the bread], itself, is in a manner common, and the more so since, to-day, [there are other loaves] to be hallowed, in the vessel.
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 hallowed [bread], —because there was there no bread, save the Presence-Bread, which had to be removed from before Yahweh, to put hot bread, on the day when it should be 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, in that very place, was a man of the servants of Saul, on that day, detained before Yahweh, whose name, was Doeg the Edomite, —chief of the shepherds that belonged unto 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 Then said David to Ahimelech, See whether there is here, under thy hand, a spear or a sword? for, neither my sword, nor my other weapons, did I take in my hand, for, the king’s business, was, urgent.
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 And the priest said: The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou didst smite in the vale of Elah, lo! that, is wrapped up in a cloth, behind the ephod, if, that, thou wilt take to thee, take it, for there is no other, save that, here. And David said—There is none, like it, give it 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 Then arose David, and fled, that day, from the face of Saul, —and came in unto Achish, king of Gath.
Na David el som. El kaing lukel Saul ac som nu yorol Achish, tokosra lun Gath.
11 And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not, this, David, king of the land? Was it not, of this man, that they kept responding in the dances, saying, Saul, hath smitten his, thousands, but, David, his, tens of 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 And David laid up these words in his heart, —and feared greatly, because of Achish king of Gath.
Kas lalos inge arulana mokle nunak lal David, oru el arulana sangeng sel Tokosra Achish.
13 So he feigned himself mad, in their sight, and raged in their hand, —and struck against the doors of the gate, and let his spittle run down upon 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 said Achish unto his servants, —Lo! ye can see, a madman playing his pranks, wherefore should ye bring him in, unto me?
Na Tokosra Achish el fahk nu sin mwet pwapa lal, “Liye, mwet se inge el wel! Efu kowos ku usalu nu yuruk?
15 Lacking of madmen, am I that ye should bring in this one to play his mad pranks, unto me? Shall, this, one enter my household?
Ya tia oasr tari mwet wel yenu, na mwe mea kowos in sifilpa use sie in orekma lofong ac aklokoalokyeyu inkul sik sifacna?”
