< 1 Samuel 21 >
1 And he went David Nob towards to Ahimelech the priest and he trembled Ahimelech to meet David and he said to him why? [are] you to alone you and [is] anyone there not with you.
David yi Nɔb dua me be yeakpɔ Abimelek, nunɔla la. Ke esi Ahimelek kpɔe la vɔvɔ̃ ɖoe eye wòbiae be, “Nu ka ta wò ɖeka nèva? Nu ka ta ame aɖeke mele ŋuwò o?”
2 And he said David to Ahimelech the priest the king he commanded me a matter and he said to me anyone may not he know anything the matter which I [am] sending you and which I have commanded you and the young men I have directed to a place of a certain one a certain one.
David da alakpa na Ahimelek be, “Fia la de dɔ ɣaɣlɛ aɖe asi nam. Egblɔ nam be magana ame aɖeke nanya nu si ta meva afi sia o. Mefia teƒe si nye amewo ado gom le emegbe la wo.
3 And therefore what? [is] there under hand your five bread[s] give! in hand my or that [which] may be found.
Nuɖuɖu aɖe le asiwòa? Na abolo atɔ̃ alo nu bubu ɖe sia ɖe si nàte ŋui lam.”
4 And he answered the priest David and he said there not [is] bread of profaneness to under hand my that except [is] bread of holiness there if they have kept themselves the young men only from a woman.
Nunɔla la ɖo eŋu be, “Abolo dzodzro ya ƒe ɖeke meli o; abolo kɔkɔe koe li. Mexɔe se be miate ŋu aɖui ne wò ɖekakpuiwo medɔ kple nyɔnuwo le ŋkeke siawo me o ko.”
5 And he answered David the priest and he said to him that except woman [is] withheld to us as yesterday three days ago when go out I and they were [the] vessels of the young men holiness and it [is] a journey of profaneness and indeed? for this day it is holy in the vessel.
David do eŋu be, “Meka ɖe edzi na wò elabena nyemeɖea mɔ na nye ɖekakpuiwo be woade ha kple nyɔnuwo ne míezɔ mɔ o. Ne wole kɔkɔe ne míezɔ mɔ dzodzrowo la, ekema eme kɔ ƒãa be woanɔ kɔkɔe esi míeva dɔ tɔxɛ sia gbe!”
6 And he gave to him the priest a holy thing for not it was there bread that except [the] bread of the presence which had been removed from to before Yahweh to put bread of heat on [the] day was taken away it.
Ale, esi nuɖuɖu bubu aɖeke meganɔ anyi o ta la, nunɔla la tsɔ abolo kɔkɔe, Ŋkumeɖobolo, si wotsɔ da ɖe Yehowa ŋkume le agbadɔ la me nɛ. Gbe ma gbe kee wotsɔ abolo yeye ɖɔlii.
7 And there a man one of [the] servants of Saul on the day that [was] detained before Yahweh and name his [was] Doeg the Edomite [the] mighty [one] of the shepherds who [belonged] to Saul.
Eva eme be wosika Doeg, Edomtɔ, ame si nye Saul ƒe lãkplɔlawo ƒe amegã la ɖe Yehowa ŋkume le afi ma le ɣeyiɣi ma me.
8 And he said David to Ahimelech and where? there here under hand your [is] a spear or a sword for both sword my as well as weapons my not I took in hand my for it was [the] matter of the king urgent.
David bia Ahimelek ne akplɔ alo yi aɖe le esi si ŋu dɔ yeate ŋu awɔ. Eɖe eme nɛ be, “Ele be matsɔ dzo ɖe fia ƒe dɔ la ŋu eye mawɔe kaba ale gbegbe be nyemete ŋu tsɔ aʋawɔnu aɖeke ɖe asi o!”
9 And he said the priest [the] sword of Goliath the Philistine whom you struck down - in [the] valley of Elah here! it [is] wrapped in the cloak behind the ephod if it you will take for yourself take [it] for there not [is] another except it in this [place] and he said David there not [is] like it give it to me.
Nunɔla la ɖo eŋu be, “Goliat, Filistitɔ si nèwu le Ela balime la ƒe yi le asinye. Woblae ɖe avɔ aɖe me le awuwo dzraɖoƒe le kɔmewu la megbe. Ne èlɔ̃ la, àte ŋu atsɔe elabena aʋawɔnu bubu aɖeke megale afi sia o.” David ɖo eŋu be, “Eya tututu dim mele; tsɔe nam!”
10 And he arose David and he fled on the day that from before Saul and he went to Achish [the] king of Gath.
David ɖe abla dzo elabena enɔ vɔvɔ̃m na Saul eye wòyi Fia Akis gbɔ le Gat.
11 And they said [the] servants of Achish to him ¿ not [is] this David [the] king of the land ¿ not of this [one] do people sing with dances saying he has struck down Saul (thousands his *Q(K)*) and David (ten thousands his. *Q(K)*)
Ke David ƒe afi ma nɔnɔ medzɔ dzi na Akis ƒe aʋakplɔlawo o. Wobia be, “Menye eyae nye Israel ƒe kplɔla gã la oa? Menye eya ŋue ameawo dea bubui le woƒe ɣeɖuƒewo henɔa ha dzim bena, “‘Saul wu akpe eye David wu akpewo’ oa?”
12 And he put David the words these in heart his and he was afraid exceedingly of Achish [the] king of Gath.
David se nya siawo eye wòvɔ̃ nu si Gat fia Akis ate ŋu awɔe.
13 And he changed it sense his in view their and he pretended to be mad in hand their (and he made marks *Q(k)*) on [the] doors of the gate and he made to flow down spittle his to beard his.
Ale wòwɔ eɖokui abe tsukunɔ ene! Ete fli ɖe ʋɔtruwo ŋu eye wòna ade do tso eƒe nu me hetsyɔ ɖe eƒe ge me.
14 And he said Achish to servants his there! you see a man behaving like a madman why? do you bring him to me.
Fia Akis gblɔ na eƒe subɔlawo be, “Mikpɔ ame sia ɖa! Ele tsu kum! Nu ka tae miekplɔe vɛ nam ɖo?
15 Lacking of madmen [am] I? that you have brought this one to behave like a madman on me ¿ this one will he come into house my.
Tsukunɔ ƒe koe si le wɔyem tae miekplɔ ame sia vɛ be woava anɔ nu siawo ƒomevi wɔm le nye ŋkutaa? Ɖe wòdze be miakplɔ ame sia ƒomevi va nye aƒe mea?”
