1 शमुवेल 21
1 १ दावीद नोब शहरात अहीमलेख याजकाजवळ आला आणि अहीमलेख कापत कापत दावीदाला भेटायला आला व त्यास म्हणाला, “तू एकटा का आलास आणि तुझ्याबरोबर कोणी का नाही?”
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?”
2 २ तेव्हा दावीद अहीमलेख याजकाला म्हणाला, “राजाने मला काही काम करायला आज्ञापिले आहे आणि त्याने असे म्हटले की, ज्या कामाविषयी मी तुला पाठवतो व जे मी तुला आज्ञापिले आहे ते कोणाला समजू देऊ नको; तरुणांनी अमक्या अमक्या ठिकाणी असावे म्हणून मी त्यांना नेमले आहे.
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].
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?”
4 ४ तेव्हा याजकाने दावीदाला उत्तर देऊन म्हटले, “माझ्याजवळ काही सामान्य भाकर नाही तर पवित्र भाकर आहे; जर तरुणांनी आपणांस स्त्रीयांपासून दूर राखले असेल तर ती घ्यावी.”
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].”
5 ५ दावीदाने याजकाला उत्तर देऊन म्हटले, “खचित हे तीन दिवस झाले मी निघालो तेव्हापासून स्त्रिया आम्हापासून दूर आहेत, त्या तरुणांची पात्रे पवित्रच आहेत; हा प्रवास जरी सर्वसामान्य होता तरी, आज त्यांची शरीरे किती अधिक प्रमाणात पवित्र असतील.”
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.”
6 ६ मग याजकाने त्यास पवित्र भाकर दिली. कारण ताजी ऊन भाकर ठेवावी म्हणून जी समक्षतेची भाकर परमेश्वराच्या समोरून त्या दिवशी काढलेली होती, तिच्यावाचून दुसरी भाकर तेथे नव्हती.
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.
7 ७ त्या दिवशी शौलाच्या चाकरातील एक पुरुष तेथे परमेश्वराच्या पुढे थांबवलेला असा होता; त्याचे नाव दवेग; तो अदोमी होता; तो शौलाच्या गुराख्यांचा मुख्य होता.
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.
8 ८ दावीद अहीमलेखाला म्हणाला, “येथे तुझ्याजवळ भाला किंवा तलवार नाही काय? राजाचे काम निकडीचे आहे म्हणून मी आपल्या हाती आपली तलवार किंवा आपली शस्त्रे घेतली नाहीत.”
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.”
9 ९ तेव्हा याजक म्हणाला, “गल्याथ पलिष्टी ज्याला तू एलाच्या खोऱ्यात जिवे मारले त्याची तलवार पाहा ती एफोदाच्या मागे वस्त्रात गुंडाळलेली आहे. ती तू घेणार तर घे कारण तिच्यावाचून दुसरी येथे नाही.” दावीद म्हणाला, “तिच्यासारखी दुसरी नाही ती मला दे.”
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.”
[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.
11 ११ तेव्हा आखीशाचे दास त्यास म्हणाले, “हा दावीद देशाचा राजा आहे की नाही: शौलाने हजार व दावीदाने दहा हजार मारले आहेत; असे ते त्याच्याविषयी एकमेकांना गाऊन म्हणत नाचत होते की नाही?”
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!’”
David heard what those men were saying, so he was afraid of [what] King Achish [might do to him].
13 १३ मग त्याच्यापुढे त्याने आपली वर्तणूक पालटून त्यांच्यासमोर वेड घेतले आणि तो कवाडाच्या फळ्यांवर रेघा मारू लागला व आपली लाळ आपल्या दाढीवर गाळू लागला.
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.
14 १४ तेव्हा आखीश आपल्या दासांना म्हणाला, “पाहा हा वेडा आहे हे तुम्हास दिसते तर कशासाठी तुम्ही त्यास माझ्याकडे आणले आहे?
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?
15 १५ माझ्याकडे वेडीमाणसे कमी आहेत म्हणून तुम्ही याला माझ्याकडे वेडेपण करायला आणले? याने माझ्या घरात यावे काय?”
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!”
