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 to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said to 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 to Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said to me, Let no man know any thing of the business about which I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.

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

Now therefore what is under thy hand? give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or what there is present.

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 there is hallowed bread; 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 kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day 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: for there was no bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was 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 a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdmen that belonged to 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.

And David said to Ahimelech, And is there not here under thy hand a spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.

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 slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other except that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it to me.

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

And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the 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 to him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten 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 was greatly afraid of Achish the 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.

And he changed his behaviour before them, and pretended to be mad in their hands, and made marks on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.

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

Then said Achish to his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: why then have ye brought him to me?

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

Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?
