1 Samuel 21
1 And David cometh in to Nob, unto Ahimelech the priest, and Ahimelech trembleth at meeting David, and saith to him, 'Wherefore [art] thou thyself alone, and no man with thee?'
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 saith to Ahimelech the priest, 'The king hath commanded me a matter, and he saith unto me, Let no man know anything of the matter about which I am sending thee, and which I have commanded thee; and the young men I have caused to know at 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 thy hand? five loaves give 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 answereth David, and saith, 'There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if the youths have been kept only 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 answereth the priest, and saith to him, 'Surely, if women have been restrained from us as heretofore in my going out, then the vessels of the young men are holy, and it [is] a common way: and also, surely to-day it is sanctified 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 giveth to him the holy thing, for there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence which is turned aside from the presence of Jehovah to put hot bread 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 on that day detained before Jehovah, and his name [is] Doeg the Edomite, chief of the shepherds whom Saul hath.
(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 saith to Ahimelech, 'And is there not here under thy hand spear or sword? for neither my sword nor my vessels have I taken 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 saith, 'The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou didst smite in the valley of Elah, lo, it is wrapped in a garment behind the ephod, if it thou dost take to thyself, take; for there is none other save it in this [place].' And David saith, '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 riseth and fleeth on that day from the face of Saul, and cometh in unto 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 unto him, 'Is not this David king of the land? is it not of this one they sing in dances, saying, 'Saul smote 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 layeth 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 changeth his behaviour before their eyes, and feigneth himself mad in their hand, and scribbleth on the doors of the gate, and letteth down his spittle unto 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 saith unto his servants, 'Lo, ye see a man acting as a madman; why do ye bring him in unto me?
Le hoe t’i Akise amo mpitoro’eo, Heheke te seretse t’indaty tiañe; ino ty nandesa’ areo aze amako?
15 A lack of madmen [have] I, that ye have brought in this one to act as a madman by me! doth this one come in unto 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?
