1 UDavida waya eNobhi ku-Ahimeleki umphristi. U-Ahimeleki wathuthumela ekuhlanganeni kwakhe laye, wasebuza esithi, “Kungani uwedwa na? Kungani kungekho olawe na?”
Devit teh Nob kho e vaihma Ahimelek koevah a pha. Ahimelek ni Devit a hmu navah a kalue teh ahni koe nama dueng maw na hui buet touh hai na tawn hoeh namaw telah atipouh.
2 UDavida waphendula u-Ahimeleki umphristi wathi, “Inkosi ingiphathise udaba oluthize, wathi kimi, ‘Akungabikhona ozakwazi ngenjongo yakho langalokho okuthunyiweyo.’ Abantu bami ngibatshele ukuba bahlangane lami endaweni ethize.

Atuvah na kut dawk bangmaw kaawm. Vaiyei panga touh hoehpawiteh na tawn e pueng na poe telah atipouh.
4 Kodwa umphristi waphendula uDavida wathi, “Kangilasinkwa esejwayelekileyo; kodwa-ke kulesinkwa esingcwelisiweyo lapha kodwa kuya ngokuthi amadoda abezigcinile esifazaneni na.”
Vaihma ni Devit koe tami pueng ni ca thai e vaiyei ka kut dawk awm hoeh eiteh, sannaw ni napui koe ma na thoung awh pawiteh, kathounge vaiyei teh ao, atipouh.
5 UDavida waphendula wathi, “Impela abesifazane babevinjelwe kithi, njengenjwayelo lapho ngiphuma. Imizimba yamadoda ingcwele lasemikhankasweni engengcwele. Pho ingaba njalo okungakanani lamhla!”
Devit ni vaihma koe atu hnin thum touh thung teh, napui koehoi kathoung awh katang doeh. Ka tâco awh han nahai na sannaw e hnopai hai a thoung.
6 Ngakho umphristi wamnika isinkwa esingcwelisiweyo ngoba kwakungelasinkwa lapho ngaphandle kwesinkwa esiNgcwele sikaThixo esasisuswe phambi kukaThixo kwasekubekwa esitshisayo endaweni yaso ngosuku esasuswa ngalo.

8 UDavida wabuza u-Ahimeleki wathi, “Kawulamkhonto kumbe inkemba lapha na? Kangizanga lenkemba yami loba nje esinye isikhali, ngoba umsebenzi wenkosi ubungophuthumayo.”
Devit ni Ahimelek koevah, tahroe thoseh tahloi thoseh, na tat hoeh na maw. Siangpahrang teh huerang a panki dawkvah, tahloi thoseh ka puengcang buet buet touh ka kut dawk ka sin mang hoeh telah atipouh.
9 Umphristi waphendula wathi, “Inkemba kaGoliyathi umFilistiya owambulalayo eSigodini sase-Ela, ilapha; igoqelwe ngelembu ngemva kwesembatho semahlombe. Nxa uyifuna, ithathe; kakukho enye inkemba lapha ngaphandle kwaleyo.” UDavida wasesithi, “Kayikho enjengayo; ngipha yona.”

Devit ni a thaw teh Sawl hmalah hoi a yawng teh, Gath siangpahrang Akhish koe a cei.
11 Kodwa izinceku zika-Akhishi zathi kuye, “Lo kasuDavida inkosi yelizwe na? Kasuye yini abahlabela ngaye emigidweni yabo besithi: ‘USawuli ubulele izinkulungwane zakhe, kodwa uDavida ubulele amatshumi ezinkulungwane zakhe’?”

12 UDavida wawagcina amazwi la enhliziyweni yakhe wamesaba kakhulu u-Akhishi inkosi yaseGathi.

14 U-Akhishi wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe, “Khangelani umuntu lo! Uphambene! Kungani limletha kimi na?
Akhish ni a sannaw koe, khenhaw! tamipathu tie na panue awh nahlangva, bangkong kai koe na thokhai awh.
15 Lithi ngiziswele yini inhlanya lize lilethe umuntu lo lapha ukuba aqhubeke kanje phambi kwami na? Umuntu lo kumele angene endlini yami na?”
