Sie Samuel 21
1 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?”
Then David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And when Ahimelech met David, he trembled and asked him, “Why are you alone? Why is no one with you?”
2 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.
“The king has given me a mission,” David replied. “He told me no one is to know about the mission or charge. And I have directed my young men to meet me at a certain place.
3 Na fuka, oasr mwe mongo yurum? Ase limekosr lof in bread an, ac kutepacna ma oasr yurum.”
Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found.”
4 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.”
“There is no common bread on hand,” the priest replied, “but there is some consecrated bread—provided that the young men have kept themselves from women.”
5 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!”
David answered, “Women have indeed been kept from us, as is usual when I set out. And the equipment of the young men is holy, as it is even on common missions, and all the more at this time.”
6 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.
So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there but the Bread of the Presence, which had been removed from before the LORD and replaced with hot bread on the day it was taken away.
7 (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.)
Now one of Saul’s servants was there that day, detained before the LORD. And his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief shepherd for Saul.
8 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.”
Then David asked Ahimelech, “Is there not a spear or sword on hand here? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business was urgent.”
9 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!”
The priest replied, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, is here; it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want, you may take it. For there is no other but this one.” And David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.”
10 Na David el som. El kaing lukel Saul ac som nu yorol Achish, tokosra lun Gath.
That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath.
11 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.’”
But the servants of Achish said to him, “Is this not David, the king of the land? Did they not sing about him in their dances, saying: ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?”
12 Kas lalos inge arulana mokle nunak lal David, oru el arulana sangeng sel Tokosra Achish.
Now David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
13 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.
So he changed his behavior before them and feigned madness in their hands; he scratched on the doors of the gate and let his saliva run down his beard.
14 Na Tokosra Achish el fahk nu sin mwet pwapa lal, “Liye, mwet se inge el wel! Efu kowos ku usalu nu yuruk?
Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you can see that the man is insane! Why have you brought him to me?
15 Ya tia oasr tari mwet wel yenu, na mwe mea kowos in sifilpa use sie in orekma lofong ac aklokoalokyeyu inkul sik sifacna?”
Am I in need of madmen, that you have brought this man to rave in my presence? Must this man come into my house?”
