I Samuel 21

1 Kalpasanna, dimteng ni David idiay Nob tapno sarakenna ni Ahimelec a padi. Agtigtigerger ni Ahimelec a nangsabat kenni David ket kinunana kenkuana, “Apay nga agmaymaysaka ken apay nga awan ti kaduam?”

And David came to Nobe to Achimelech the priest: and Achimelech was astonished at David’s coming. And he said to him: Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?

2 Kinuna ni David kenni Ahimelec a padi, “Imbaonnak ti ari iti maysa a panggep ket kinunana kaniak, 'Awan koma ti makaammo maipapan iti pangibabaonak kenka, ken ti maipapan iti imbilinko kenka.' Imbaonko dagiti agtutubo a lallaki iti maysa lugar.

And David said to Achimelech the priest: The king hath commanded me a business, and said: Let no man know the thing for which thou art sent by me, and what manner of commands I have given thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.

3 Ita ngarud, ania ti adda kenka dita? Ikkannak koma iti lima a pidaso a tinapay, wenno uray ania nga adda ditoy.”

Now therefore if thou have any thing at hand, though it were but five loaves, give me, or whatsoever thou canst find.

4 Simmungbat ti padi kenni David a kunana, “Awan ti tinapay ita ditoy a mabalin a kanen ti siasinoman, ngem ti laeng adda ditoy ket ti tinapay a naidaton- no dagiti agtutubo a lallaki ket saan a nakikaidda kadagiti babbai.”

And the priest answered David, saying: I have no common bread at hand, but only holy bread, if the young men be clean, especially from women?

5 Simmungbat ni David iti padi, “Maipanamnamak a tallon nga aldaw a saankami a nakikaidda kadagiti babbai. Idi nagrubwatak, dagiti bagi dagitoy a lallaki ket napagtalinaedda a nadalus iti imatang ni Yahweh, uray no daytoy ket gagangay a panagdaliasat. Ad-adda ngarud ita a mapagtalinaed ti kinadalus dagiti bagbagida iti imatang ni Yahweh.”

And David answered the priest, and said to him: Truly, as to what concerneth women, we have refrained ourselves from yesterday and the day before, when we came out, and the vessels of the young men were holy. Now this way is defiled, but it shall also be sanctified this day in the vessels.

6 Isu nga inted ti padi kenkuana ti tinapay a naidaton kenni Yahweh. Ta awan ti tinapay sadiay, ti laeng tinapay a naidaton kenni Yahweh a masukatan iti kalutluto a tinapay no maikkat daytoy iti nakaikabilanna.

The priest therefore gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there, but only the loaves of proposition, which had been taken away from before the face of the Lord, that hot loaves might be set up.

7 Ita, maysa kadagiti adipen ni Saul ket adda sadiay iti dayta nga aldaw, ta kapilitan nga agtalinaed isuna sadiay. Ti naganna ket Doeg a taga-Edom, a pangulo dagiti agay-aywan iti arban ni Saul.

Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, within the tabernacle of the Lord: and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of Saul’s herdsmen.

8 Kinuna ni David kenni Ahimelec, “Adda kadi uray ania a gayang wenno kampilan dita? Ta awan ti naitugotko a kampilanko wenno uray ania nga igamko, gapu ta kasapulan a mapanak a dagus iti pangibabaonan kaniak ti ari.”

And David said to Achimelech: Hast thou here at hand a spear, or a sword? for I brought not my own sword, nor my own weapons with me, for the king’s business required haste.

9 Kinuna ti padi, “Adda ditoy ti kampilan ni Goliat a Filisteo a pinapataymo idiay tanap ti Ela, nabalkot iti maysa a lupot ket nailinged iti efod. No kayatmo nga alaen dayta, alaem, ta awanen ti sabali nga igam ditoy malaksid iti dayta.” Kinuna ni David, “Awanen ti sabali a kampilan a kas iti dayta; itedmo kaniak.”

And the priest said: Lo, here is the sword of Goliath the Philistine whom thou slewest in the valley of Terebinth, wrapped up in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take this, take it, for here is no other but this. And David said: There is none like that, give it me.

10 Nagrubwat ni David ket linibasanna ni Saul iti dayta nga aldaw ket napan kenni Akis nga ari iti Gat.

And David arose and fled that day from the face of Saul: and came to Achis the king of Geth:

11 Kinuna dagiti adipen ni Akis kenkuana, “Saan kadi a daytoy ti David nga ari iti daga? Saan kadi nga insalsalada ti panangikankantada iti maipapan kenkuana, 'Pinatay ni Saul ti rinibribu ket ni David ket sangapulo a ribu?'

And the servants of Achis, when they saw David, said to him: Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing to him in their dances, saying: Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

12 Naimula iti puso ni David dagitoy a sasao ket kasta unay ti butengna kenni Akis nga ari ti Gat.

But David laid up these words in his heart, and was exceedingly afraid at the face of Achis the king of Geth.

13 Binaliwannna ti panagtigtignayna ket nagpammarang nga agbagtit iti imatangda; sinuratsuratanna dagiti ruangan ti pagserkan ken baybay-anna nga agayus ti katayna iti barbasna.

And he changed his countenance before them, and slipt down between their hands: and he stumbled against the doors of the gate, and his spittle ran down upon his beard.

14 Ket kinuna ni Akis kadagiti adipenna, “Kitaenyo, agbagtit met gayam daytoy a tao. Apay nga inyegyo isuna kaniak?

And Achis said to his servants: You saw the man was mad: why have you brought him to me?

15 Agkurangak kadi pay aya iti agbagtit, isu nga inyegyo daytoy a tao nga agaramid iti kas iti dayta iti imatangko? Pudno kadi nga umay daytoy a tao iti balayko?”

Have we need of madmen, that you have brought in this fellow, to play the madman in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?
