< 1 Samuel 21 >
1 David fled from there and went to Nob [city to see] Ahimelech the priest. Ahimelech trembled when he saw David [because he was afraid that something bad had happened]. He said to David, “Why are you alone? Why have no men come with you?”
David dođe u Nob k svećeniku Ahimeleku. Ovaj dršćući pođe u susret Davidu i upita ga: “Zašto si sam i nema nikoga s tobom?”
2 David [deceived Ahimelech] by replying, “The king sent me. But he does not want anyone to know anything about what he sent me to do. I have told my men where [they should meet me].
A David odgovori svećeniku Ahimeleku: “Kralj mi je dao nalog i rekao mi: 'Nitko neka ništa ne dozna zašto te šaljem i što sam ti zapovjedio!' A momke sam poslao da me dočekaju na tom i tom mjestu.
3 Now [I want to know], do you have any [food here for me to eat] [IDM]? Could you give me five loaves of bread, or whatever [other food] that you can find?”
A sada, ako imaš pri ruci pet hljebova, daj mi ih, ili što god se nađe!”
4 The priest answered David, “There is no ordinary bread here, but I have some of the sacred bread [that was placed before Yahweh]. Your men may eat it if they have not slept with [EUP] women [recently].”
A svećenik odgovori Davidu: “Nemam pri ruci običnoga kruha nego samo svetoga kruha; ali samo ako su se tvoji momci uzdržali od žena.”
5 David replied, “They have not been near women for many days. I do not allow my men to defile themselves by sleeping with women while they are preparing to fight in battles. They must continue to keep themselves acceptable to God when they are on ordinary trips, and [today they have kept themselves acceptable to God] because now we are doing something very special/important.”
David odgovori svećeniku ovako: “Sasvim pouzdano! Žene su nam bile uskraćene, kao uvijek kad izlazimo na vojni pohod, i tijela su u momaka čista. Iako je ovo običan put, uistinu su danas čisti tijelom.”
6 The only bread that the priest had was the sacred bread that had been placed in Yahweh’s presence [in the Sacred tent]. So the priest gave David some of that bread. On that day the priest had taken those loaves from the table and replaced them with (fresh/newly baked) loaves.
Tada mu svećenik dade svetoga kruha, jer nije bilo drugoga kruha ondje osim žrtvenoga, onoga koji se uklanjao ispred Jahve da se zamijeni toplim kruhom u dan kad se uzima.
7 It happened that Doeg, from the Edom people-group, was there on that day to make himself acceptable to Yahweh, [and he saw what Ahimelech did]. He was one of Saul’s officials and the leader of Saul’s shepherds.
Ondje je istoga dana bio jedan od Šaulovih slugu, zadržao se pred Jahvom; zvao se Doeg Edomac, a bio je nadglednik Šaulovih pastira.
8 David asked Ahimelech, “Do you have a spear or a sword [that I could use]? The king [appointed us to do] this task [and told us to leave] immediately, so I did not have time to bring any weapons.”
David upita Ahimeleka: “A nemaš li ovdje pri ruci kakvo koplje ili mač? Nisam uzeo sa sobom ni svoga mača ni svoga oružja, jer je kraljev nalog bio hitan.”
9 Ahimelech replied, “I have only the sword that belonged to Goliath [the giant] from the Philistia people-group whom you killed in Elah Valley. It is wrapped in a cloth, and is behind the sacred vest [in the Sacred Tent]. If you want it, take it, because I have no other [weapon] here.” David replied, “Truly, there is no other sword that is [as good] as that one! Give it to me.”
A svećenik mu odgovori: “Ovdje je mač Filistejca Golijata, onoga koga si ubio u Terebintskoj dolini; zamotan je u plašt i položen iza oplećka; ako ga hoćeš uzeti, uzmi ga samo, jer drugoga osim njega nema ovdje.” A David odvrati: “Takva više nema, daj mi ga!”
10 [So Ahimelech gave it to him], and David left there. He [and his men] and went to Gath [city in the Philistia region], to stay with King Achish.
Potom David ustade i pobježe onaj dan daleko od Šaula i dođe Akišu, kralju Gata.
11 But the officers of King Achish [objected to David being there. They] said to King Achish, “This man is [RHQ] David, the king of Israel! He is the one [RHQ] whom [our enemies], the [Israeli] people, [honored by] dancing and singing, ‘Saul has killed thousands [of his enemies], but David has killed tens of thousands of them!’”
A dvorani Akiševi rekoše svome kralju: “Nije li to David, kralj zemlje? To je onaj o kome su plešući pjevali: 'Pobi Šaul svoje tisuće, David na desetke tisuća.'”
12 David heard what those men were saying, so he was afraid of [what] King Achish [might do to him].
David se zamisli o tim riječima i silno se uplaši gatskoga kralja Akiša.
13 So he pretended that he was insane. He started scratching on the gates [of the city] and allowing his saliva to run down his beard.
Tada se David poče pretvarati pred njima kao da je umobolan i vladati se kao luđak u njihovim rukama: bubnjao je po vratima i puštao da mu teče slina niz bradu.
14 Then King Achish said to his men, “Look at this man! He is acting like an insane man! Why have you brought him to me?
Tada Akiš reče svojim dvoranima: “Vidite dobro da je čovjek lud! Zašto ga dovodite k meni?
15 Have you brought him because I do not have enough insane men here already [RHQ]? I do not want [RHQ] him to come into my house!”
Zar nemam dosta budala te mi dovodite ovoga da mi dosađuje svojim ludilom? Zar će taj ući u moju kuću?”
