Samuu'Eel Kowaad 21

1 Oo markaas dabadeedna Daa'uud wuxuu Nob ugu yimid wadaadkii Axiimeleg ahaa, oo Axiimelegna Daa'uud buu ka hor yimid isagoo gariiraya, oo wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, War maxaa keligaa kaa dhigay oo ninna kuula socon waayay?

Then David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And when Ahimelech met David, he trembled and asked him, “Why are you alone? Why is no one with you?”

2 Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu wadaadkii Axiimeleg ku yidhi, Boqorkii baa i amray oo muraad ii soo diray, wuxuuna igu yidhi, Ninna yuusan waxba ka ogaan muraadka aan kuu diray, iyo waxa aan kugu amray toona, oo raggii dhallinyarada ahaana meel baan kula ballamay.

“The king has given me a mission,” David replied. “He told me no one is to know about the mission or charge. And I have directed my young men to meet me at a certain place.

3 Haddaba bal maxaa gacantaada ku jira? Bal i sii shan xabbadood oo kibis ah amase wax alla waxa yaal.

Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found.”

4 Markaasaa wadaadkii wuxuu Daa'uud ugu jawaabay, Kibis la wada cuno gacantayda kuma jirto, laakiinse waxaa taal kibis quduus ah haddii ragga dhallinyarada ahu naago ayan taaban.

“There is no common bread on hand,” the priest replied, “but there is some consecrated bread—provided that the young men have kept themselves from women.”

5 Kolkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu wadaadkii ugu jawaabay, Sida runta ah intii saddex maalmood ah naago waa nalaga dhawray, oo markii aan soo baxay ragga dhallinyarada ah weelalkoodu quduus bay ahaayeen, laakiinse in kastoo uu sodcaalku mid caadi ah yahay, bal maanta intee bay weelalkoodu quduus sii yihiin?

David answered, “Women have indeed been kept from us, as is usual when I set out. And the equipment of the young men is holy, as it is even on common missions, and all the more at this time.”

6 Sidaas daraaddeed wadaadkii wuxuu Daa'uud siiyey kibis quduus ah, waayo, halkaas kibis ma oollin, kibistii tusniinta mooyaane, taas oo Rabbiga hortiisa laga soo qaaday si kibis kulul loo dhigo maalinta tii hore laga soo qaado.

So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there but the Bread of the Presence, which had been removed from before the LORD and replaced with hot bread on the day it was taken away.

7 Oo maalintaas waxaa halkaas joogay nin ka mid ah Saa'uul addoommadiisii, oo kaasna Rabbiga hortiisaa lagu hayay, magiciisuna wuxuu ahaa Do'eeg kii reer Edom, oo wuxuuna ahaa kii madaxda u ahaa xoolojirrada Saa'uul.

Now one of Saul’s servants was there that day, detained before the LORD. And his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief shepherd for Saul.

8 Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Axiimeleg ku yidhi, Waxba miyaanad haynin waran amase seef? Waayo, sooma aan qaadan seeftaydii iyo hubkaygii toona, maxaa yeelay, waxaa i soo deddejiyey muraadkii boqorku ii soo diray.

Then David asked Ahimelech, “Is there not a spear or sword on hand here? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business was urgent.”

9 Oo wadaadkiina wuxuu yidhi, Bal eeg, waxaa halkan eefodka dabadiisa taal iyadoo maro ku duudduuban seeftii Goli'adkii reer Falastiin, oo aad dooxii Eelaah ku dishay, oo haddaad doonaysid inaad taas qaadatid, iska qaado, maxaa yeelay, taas mooyaane mid kale halkan ma taal. Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu yidhi, Taasoo kaleba ma jirto; ee bal i soo sii.

The priest replied, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, is here; it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want, you may take it. For there is no other but this one.” And David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.”

10 Markaasaa Daa'uud kacay, oo maalintaas wuxuu u cararay cabsi uu Saa'uul ka qabay aawadeed, oo wuxuu u tegey Aakiish oo boqorkii Gad ahaa.

That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath.

11 Kolkaasaa addoommadii Aakiish waxay isagii ku yidhaahdeen, War sow kanu ma aha Daa'uud boqorkii dalka? Oo sow midkoodba midka kale gabay uguma celin iyagoo cayaaraya oo leh, Saa'uul wuxuu laayay kumanyaalkiisii, Daa'uudna wuxuu laayay tobanyaalkiisii kun?

But the servants of Achish said to him, “Is this not David, the king of the land? Did they not sing about him in their dances, saying: ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?”

12 Oo Daa'uudna erayadaas qalbiguu ku haystay, oo aad buuna uga cabsanayay Aakiish oo ahaa boqorkii Gad.

Now David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

13 Oo markaasuu dabicaddiisii hortooda ku beddelay, oo wuxuu iska dhigay mid waalan markuu gacmahooda soo galay, oo wuxuu xagxagtay albaabbadii iridda, oo gadhkana dhareer buu iskaga daadiyey.

So he changed his behavior before them and feigned madness in their hands; he scratched on the doors of the gate and let his saliva run down his beard.

14 Markaasaa Aakiish wuxuu addoommadiisii ku yidhi, War waad aragtaan inuu ninku waalan yahay, haddaba bal maxaad iigu keenteen?

Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you can see that the man is insane! Why have you brought him to me?

15 War ma waxaan u baahanahay niman waalan, oo ma taas aawadeed baad ninkan u keenteen inuu hortayda isku waalo? War ma ninkan oo kalaa gurigayga soo gala?

Am I in need of madmen, that you have brought this man to rave in my presence? Must this man come into my house?”
