१ शमूएल 21
1 पुजारी अहीमेलेकलाई भेट्न दाऊद नोबमा गए । अहीमेलेक डरले काम्दै दाऊदलाई भेट्न आए र तिनलाई भने, “तपाईं किन एक्लै हुनुहुन्छ र तपाईंसँग कोही पनि छैनन्?”
And David comes to Nomba to Abimelech the priest: and Abimelech was amazed at meeting him, and said to him, Why [are] you alone, and nobody with you?
2 दाऊदले पुजारी अहीमेलेकलाई भने, “राजाले मलाई एउटा काममा पठाउनुभएको छ र यस्तो हुकुम गर्नुभएको छ, 'जुन कामको बारेमा मैले तिमीलाई पठाएको छु र मैले तिमीलाई जे आज्ञा गरेको छु त्यसको बारेमा कसैलाई थाहा नहोस् ।' कुनै निश्चित ठाउँमा आउन मैले जवान मानिसहरूलाई निर्देशन दिएको छु ।
And David said to the priest, The king gave me a command today, and said to me, Let no one know the matter on which I send you, an concerning which I have charged you: and I have charged my servants [to be] in the place that is called, The faithfulness of God, Phellani Maemoni.
3 अहिले तपाईंसँग के छ? पाँच वटा रोटी वा यहाँ जे छ सो मलाई दिनुहोस् ।”
And now if there are under your hand five loaves, give into my hand what is ready.
4 पुजारीले दाऊदलाई जवाफ दिए र भने, “मसँग कुनै साधारण रोटी त छैन, तर ती जवान मानिहरू स्त्रीहरूबाट अलग बसेका छन् भने यहाँ पवित्र रोटी छ ।
And the priest answered David, and said, There are no common loaves under my hand, for I have none but holy loaves: if the young men have been kept at least from women, then they shall eat [them].
5 दाऊदले पुजारीलाई जवाफ दिए, “सदाझैं बाहिर म जाँदा हामीबाट तिन दिनदेखि स्त्रीहरू अलग गरिएको छन् । साधारण काममा जाँदा समेत मानिससित सम्बन्धित कुरालाई तिनीहरूले शुद्ध राखेका छन् । तिनीहरूसँग भएका कुरालाई आज तिनीहरूले अझ धेरै शुद्ध राखेका छन् ।”
And David answered the priest, and said to him, Yes, we have been kept from women for three days: when I came forth for the journey all the young men were purified; but this expedition is unclean, therefore it shall be sanctified this day because of my weapons.
6 त्यसैले पुजारीले तिनलाई चढाइएको रोटी दिए । किनकि त्यहाँ उपस्थितिको रोटीबाहेक अरू कुनै रोटी थिएन, जुन रोटी परमप्रभुको सामुबाट हटाएर त्यसको सट्टामा तातो रोटी राखिएको थियो ।
So Abimelech the priest gave him the show bread; for there were no loaves there, but only the presence loaves which had been removed from the presence of the Lord, in order that hot bread should be set on, on the day on which he took them.
7 त्यस दिन शाऊलका सेवकहरूमध्ये एक जना परमप्रभुको सामु रोकिएको थियो । त्यसको नाउँ एदोमी दोएग थियो, जो शाऊलका गोठालाको प्रमुख थियो ।
And there was there on that day one of Saul's servants detained before the Lord, and his name [was] Doec the Syrian, tending the mules of Saul.
8 दाऊदले अहीमेलेकलाई भने, “के यहाँ कुनै भाला वा तरवार छैन? किनकि मैले न त मेरो तरवार न हतियार नै ल्याएँ, किनभने राजाको काम जरूरी थियो ।”
And David said to Abimelech, See if there is here under your hand spear or sword, for I have not brought in my hand my sword or my weapons, for the word of the king was urgent.
9 पुजारीले भने, “तपाईंले एलाहको बेसीमा मार्नुभएको पलिश्ती गोल्यतको तरवार एपोद पछाडी कपडाले बेह्रेर राखिएको छ । तपाईंलाई त्यो लाने इच्छा हुन्छ भने त्यो लानुहोस्, किनकि यहाँ अरू कुनै हतियार छैन ।” दाऊदले भने, “त्यो जस्तो अरू कुनै तरवार छैन । त्यो मलाई दिनुहोस् ।”
And the priest said, Behold the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck in the valley of Ela; and it is wrapt in a cloth: if you will take it, take it for yourself, for there is no other except it here. And David said, Behold, there is none like it; give it me.
10 त्यस दिन दाऊद उठे र शाऊलदेखि भागे र गातका राजा आकीशकहाँ गए ।
And he gave it him; and David arose, and fled in that day from he presence of Saul: and David came to Anchus king of Geth.
11 आकीशका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई भने, “के यिनी देशका राजा दाऊद होइनन्? के तिनीहरूले नाचहरूमा एक-आपसमा यसो भनी गाएनन्, 'शाऊलले हजारौलाई मारेका छन्, र दाऊदले दसौं हजारलाई मारेका छन्?'”
And the servants of Anchus said to him, [Is] not this David the king of the land? Did not the dancing women begin the son to him, saying, Saul has struck his thousand, and David his ten thousands?
12 दाऊदले यस कुरालाई मन लिए र गातका राजा आकीशसँग धेरै डराए ।
And David laid up the words in his heart, and was greatly afraid of Anchus king of Geth.
13 उनीहरूको सामु तिनले आफ्नो व्यवहार बदले र तिनीहरूकहाँ पागल भएको बाहाना गरे । तिनले प्रवेशद्वारको ढोकाहरूमा लेखे र आफ्नो र्याल दाह्रीभरि चुहाए ।
And he changed his appearance before him, and feigned himself a false character in that day; and drummed upon the doors of the city, and used extravagant gestures with his hands, and fell against the doors of the gate, and his spittle ran down upon his beard.
14 तब आकीशले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई भने, “हेर, यो मानिस पागल भएको तिमीहरू देख्दैछौ । यसलाई तिमीहरूले मकहाँ किन ल्याएको हौ?
And Anchus said to his servants, Behold! you see the man [is] mad: why have you brought him in to me?
15 के मसँग पागल मानिसको कमी छ, ताकि तिमीहरूले यसलाई मेरो उपस्थितिमा त्यस्तै व्यवहार गर्नलाई ल्याएको हौ? के यो मानिस साँच्चै नै मेरो घरमा आउनेछ?”
[Am] I in lack of madmen, that you have brought him in to me to play the madman? He shall not come into the house.
