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 came to Nob to Achimelech the priest; and Achimelech hastened trembling to meet David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man is with thee?
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 unto Achimelech the priest, The king commanded me a business, and said unto me, Let not any man know the least of the business concerning which I send thee, and which I have commanded thee. And the young men have I appointed to such and such a place.
3 अहिले तपाईंसँग के छ? पाँच वटा रोटी वा यहाँ जे छ सो मलाई दिनुहोस् ।”
And now what hast thou on hand: put five loaves of bread into my hand, or what else can be found.
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, I have no common bread on hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have only withheld themselves from women.
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, To a certainty women have been denied us yesterday and the day before, when I went forth, and the vessels of the young men were holy: and if this was the custom with unholy things, how much more will it remain this day holy in the vessels.
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 the priest gave him hallowed bread; for there was no bread there except the showbread, that was removed from before the Lord, so as to put down hot bread on the day when it was taken away.
7 त्यस दिन शाऊलका सेवकहरूमध्ये एक जना परमप्रभुको सामु रोकिएको थियो । त्यसको नाउँ एदोमी दोएग थियो, जो शाऊलका गोठालाको प्रमुख थियो ।
Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there on that day, detained before the Lord; and his name was Doeg, the Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen that belonged to 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 unto Achimelech, Hast thou not also here at hand a spear or sword: for both my sword as also my other weapons have I not brought with me, because the king's business 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, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou didst slay in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped up in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that for thyself, take it; for there is no other save it here. And David said, There is none like that: give it to me.
10 त्यस दिन दाऊद उठे र शाऊलदेखि भागे र गातका राजा आकीशकहाँ गए ।
And David arose, and fled on that day from before Saul, and came to Achish the king of Gath.
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 Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not of this man sing one to another in the dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
12 दाऊदले यस कुरालाई मन लिए र गातका राजा आकीशसँग धेरै डराए ।
And David took these words to his heart, and was greatly afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
13 उनीहरूको सामु तिनले आफ्नो व्यवहार बदले र तिनीहरूकहाँ पागल भएको बाहाना गरे । तिनले प्रवेशद्वारको ढोकाहरूमा लेखे र आफ्नो र्याल दाह्रीभरि चुहाए ।
And he disguised his reason before their eyes, and played the madman in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle run down upon his beard.
14 तब आकीशले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई भने, “हेर, यो मानिस पागल भएको तिमीहरू देख्दैछौ । यसलाई तिमीहरूले मकहाँ किन ल्याएको हौ?
Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see, the man is mad: wherefore then will ye bring him 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?”
Have I lack of madmen, that ye have brought this man to play his pranks about me? shall this one come into my house?
