Pirmā Samuela 21
1 Tad Dāvids nāca uz Nobu pie priestera Aķimeleka, un Aķimeleks gāja Dāvidam drebēdams pretī un uz to sacīja: kāpēc tu nāci viens pats, un neviena tev nav līdz?
Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech was shaking in fear when he met David, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one with you?"
2 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz priesteri Aķimeleku: ķēniņš man kādu lietu ir pavēlējis un uz mani sacījis: lai neviens nekā nezin no tās lietas, par ko es tevi esmu sūtījis, un ko es tev esmu pavēlējis; un saviem puišiem es esmu pavēlējis, tai un tai vietā uz mani gaidīt.
And David said to the priest, "The king has given me orders, and he instructed me, 'No one must know of the matter about which I send you, or about your orders; and I have arranged to meet the young men at a certain place.'
3 Nu tad, kas tev ir pie rokas? Dod man kādas piecas maizes, vai, kas atrodas.
Now, if there are five loaves of bread under your control, give them into my hand, or whatever there is."
4 Tad tas priesteris Dāvidam atbildēja un sacīja: še man nav ikdienišķas maizes pie rokas, bet vien tās svētās maizes; ja tikai tie puiši no sievām būs noturējušies.
And the priest answered David, and said, "There is no common bread in my control, but there is holy bread. If the young men have kept themselves from women, they may eat of it."
5 Tad Dāvids tam priesterim atbildēja un uz to sacīja: tiešām, sievas no mums ir nost bijušas vakar un aizvakar, kamēr es izgāju, un to puišu lietas bija svētas. Lai nu tas ceļš gan nav svēts, tomēr tas šodien taps svētīts caur to ieroci.
And David answered the priest, and said to him, "Truly women have been kept from us as always when I set out. All the young men are holy, even when it is an ordinary mission. So how much more today will their vessels be holy?"
6 Tad tas priesteris tam deva svētu maizi, tāpēc ka citas maizes tur nebija, kā vien tās priekšliekamās maizes, kas no Tā Kunga vaiga bija atņemtas, ka atkal jaunas taptu uzliktas tai dienā, kad viņas tiek atņemtas.
So the priest gave him what had been consecrated, for there was no bread there but the show bread, that had been removed before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
7 Un tur bija viens vīrs no Saula kalpiem tai dienā ieslēgts Tā Kunga priekšā, un viņa vārds bija Doēgs, viens Edomietis, virsnieks pār Saula ganiem.
Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.
8 Un Dāvids sacīja uz Aķimeleku: vai tavā rokā nav kāds šķēps vai zobens? Jo es nedz savu zobenu nedz savas bruņas neesmu līdzi ņēmis, tāpēc ka ķēniņa lieta bija steidzama.
David said to Ahimelech, "Isn't there here under your control spear or sword? For I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste."
9 Tad tas priesteris sacīja: Fīlista Goliata zobens, ko tu ozolu ielejā nokāvi, redzi, tas ir še vienā drēbē ietīts aiz efoda; ja tu to gribi, tad ņem, jo te cita nav kā tas vien. Tad Dāvids sacīja: cita tāda nav, dod man to.
The priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, look, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind an ephod. If you will take that, take it; for there is no other except that here." David said, "There is none like that. Give it to me."
10 Un Dāvids cēlās un bēga tai dienā no Saula un nāca pie Aķisa, Gatas ķēniņa.
David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
11 Tad Aķisa kalpi uz to sacīja: vai šis nav Dāvids, tās zemes ķēniņš? Vai no tā netapa dziedāts ar stabulēm un sacīts: Sauls tūkstošus kāvis, bet Dāvids desmit tūkstošus.
The servants of Achish said to him, "Isn't this David the king of the land? Did they not sing one to another about him in dances, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands?'"
12 Un Dāvids šos vārdus ņēma pie sirds un bijās ļoti no Aķisa, Gatas ķēniņa.
David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
13 Tāpēc viņš izlikās ārprātīgs priekš viņu acīm un kā traks apakš viņu rokām kasīja vārtu durvis, un siekalas tam notecēja bārdā.
He changed his behavior before them, and pretended to be mad in their hands, and drummed on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle run down his beard.
14 Tad Aķis sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: raugi, jūs redzat, ka tas vīrs ir traks, kāpēc jūs to pie manis esat atveduši?
Then Achish said to his servants, "Look, you see the man is mad. Why then have you brought him to me?
15 Vai man traku nav diezgan, ka jūs šo pie manis esat atveduši, manā priekšā trakot, - vai tad tam būs nākt manā namā?
Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?"
