1 Samuelova 21

1 Tada David doðe u Nov k Ahimelehu svešteniku; a Ahimeleh se uplaši i istrèa pred Davida, i reèe mu: zašto si sam, i nema nikoga s tobom?

Then came David to Nob, unto Ahimelech, the priest, —and Ahimelech trembled when he met David, and said unto him—Why art thou, alone, and, no man, with thee?

2 A David reèe Ahimelehu svešteniku: car mi nešto zapovjedi, i reèe mi: niko da ne dozna zašto te šaljem i šta sam ti zapovjedio. A sluge sam opravio u to i to mjesto.

And David said unto Ahimelech the priest—The king, hath charged me with a matter, and hath said unto me—Let, no man, know aught of the business on which I am sending thee, and with which I have charged thee, —But, unto the young men, have I appointed, such and such a place.

3 Nego šta imaš pri ruci? daj mi pet hljebova, ili šta imaš.

Now, therefore, what is there under thy hand? Five loaves, give thou into my hand, —or, whatever can be found.

4 A sveštenik odgovori Davidu i reèe: nemam pri ruci obiènoga hljeba; nego ima svetoga hljeba; ali jesu li se momci èuvali od žena?

And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under my hand, —but, hallowed bread, there is, if the young men have kept themselves, at least from women.

5 A David odgovori svešteniku i reèe mu: nije bilo žena kod nas ni juèe ni onomadne, otkako sam pošao, i sudovi su u momaka bili sveti. A ako bi put i neèist bio, osvetiæe se danas sudovima.

And David answered the priest and said to him—Of a truth, women, have been withheld from us, of late, through my coming out, and the wallets of the young men have become hallowed, —while [the bread], itself, is in a manner common, and the more so since, to-day, [there are other loaves] to be hallowed, in the vessel.

6 Tada mu dade sveštenik hljebove svete, jer ne bješe hljeba osim hljebova postavljenijeh, koji bijahu uzeti ispred Gospoda da se postave hljebovi topli onaj dan kad se oni uzeše.

So the priest gave him hallowed [bread], —because there was there no bread, save the Presence-Bread, which had to be removed from before Yahweh, to put hot bread, on the day when it should be taken away.

7 A ondje bijaše onaj dan jedan od sluga Saulovijeh baveæi se pred Gospodom, kojemu ime bješe Doik Idumejac, starješina nad pastirima Saulovijem.

Now, in that very place, was a man of the servants of Saul, on that day, detained before Yahweh, whose name, was Doeg the Edomite, —chief of the shepherds that belonged unto Saul.

8 I David reèe Ahimelehu: imaš li tu kako koplje ili maè? jer ni maèa svojega ni oružja ne ponesoh, jer stvar careva bijaše hitna.

Then said David to Ahimelech, See whether there is here, under thy hand, a spear or a sword? for, neither my sword, nor my other weapons, did I take in my hand, for, the king’s business, was, urgent.

9 A sveštenik reèe: ovdje je maè Golijata Filistejina, kojega si ubio u dolini Ili, uvijen u platno iza opleæka; ako hoæeš, uzmi ga, jer drugoga osim njega nema ovdje. A David reèe: takoga više nema, daj mi ga.

And the priest said: The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou didst smite in the vale of Elah, lo! that, is wrapped up in a cloth, behind the ephod, if, that, thou wilt take to thee, take it, for there is no other, save that, here. And David said—There is none, like it, give it me.

10 Potom se podiže David, i pobježe onaj dan od Saula, i doðe k Ahisu caru Gatskom.

Then arose David, and fled, that day, from the face of Saul, —and came in unto Achish, king of Gath.

11 A Ahisu rekoše sluge njegove: nije li ovo David car zemaljski? Nijesu li o njemu pjevali igrajuæi i govoreæi: Saul zgubi svoju tisuæu, a David svojih deset tisuæa?

And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not, this, David, king of the land? Was it not, of this man, that they kept responding in the dances, saying, Saul, hath smitten his, thousands, but, David, his, tens of thousands?

12 I David metnu ove rijeèi u srce svoje, i poboja se veoma Ahisa cara Gatskoga.

And David laid up these words in his heart, —and feared greatly, because of Achish king of Gath.

13 I pretvori se pred njima i uèini se lud u rukama njihovijem; i šaraše po vratima, i bacaše pjenu niz bradu svoju.

So he feigned himself mad, in their sight, and raged in their hand, —and struck against the doors of the gate, and let his spittle run down upon his beard.

14 I Ahis reèe slugama svojim: eto, vidite da je èovjek lud; što ste mi ga doveli?

Then said Achish unto his servants, —Lo! ye can see, a madman playing his pranks, wherefore should ye bring him in, unto me?

15 Zar nemam dosta ludijeh, nego mi dovedoste toga da luduje preda mnom? zar æe taj uæi u kuæu moju?

Lacking of madmen, am I that ye should bring in this one to play his mad pranks, unto me? Shall, this, one enter my household?
