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 David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said to him, “Why are you alone, and no man with you?”
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.
David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has commanded me to do something, and has said to me, ‘Let no one know anything about the business about which I send you, and what I have commanded you. I have sent the young men to a certain place.’
3 Nego šta imaš pri ruci? daj mi pet hljebova, ili šta imaš.
Now therefore what is under your hand? Please give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever is available.”
4 A sveštenik odgovori Davidu i reèe: nemam pri ruci obiènoga hljeba; nego ima svetoga hljeba; ali jesu li se momci èuvali od žena?
The priest answered David, and said, “I have no common bread, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves 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.
David answered the priest, and said to him, “Truly, women have been kept from us as usual these three days. When I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was only a common journey. How much more then today shall their vessels be holy?”
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 holy bread; for there was no bread there but the show bread that was taken from before Yahweh, to be replaced with 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 Yahweh; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who 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.
David said to Ahimelech, “Isn’t there here under your hand spear or sword? For I haven’t brought my sword or 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.
The priest said, “Behold, the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you would like to take that, take it, for there is no other except that here.” 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.
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?
The servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David the king of the land? Didn’t they sing to one another about him in dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands’?”
12 I David metnu ove rijeèi u srce svoje, i poboja se veoma Ahisa cara Gatskoga.
David laid up these words in his heart, and was very 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.
He changed his behavior before them and pretended to be insane in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard.
14 I Ahis reèe slugama svojim: eto, vidite da je èovjek lud; što ste mi ga doveli?
Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see the man is insane. Why then have you brought him to me?
15 Zar nemam dosta ludijeh, nego mi dovedoste toga da luduje preda mnom? zar æe taj uæi u kuæu moju?
Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Should this fellow come into my house?”
