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?”
Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the cohen. And Ahimelech was shaking in fear when he met David, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one 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 cohen, "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 अहिले तपाईंसँग के छ? पाँच वटा रोटी वा यहाँ जे छ सो मलाई दिनुहोस् ।”
Now, if there are five loaves of bread under your control, give them into my hand, or whatever there is."
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 cohen 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 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 cohen, 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 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 cohen 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 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 that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who 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 ।”
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 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 ।”
The cohen 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 त्यस दिन दाऊद उठे र शाऊलदेखि भागे र गातका राजा आकीशकहाँ गए ।
David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went 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?'”
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 दाऊदले यस कुरालाई मन लिए र गातका राजा आकीशसँग धेरै डराए ।
David laid up these words in his heart, and was very 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 ।
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 तब आकीशले आफ्ना सेवकहरूलाई भने, “हेर, यो मानिस पागल भएको तिमीहरू देख्दैछौ । यसलाई तिमीहरूले मकहाँ किन ल्याएको हौ?
Then Achish said to his servants, "Look, you see the man is mad. Why then have you brought 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?”
Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?"
