1 Samweli 21
1 Kisha Daudi akafika Nobu kumuona Ahimeleki kuhani. Ahimeleki akaja akutane na Daudi huku akitetemeka na kumwambia, “Kwa nini uko peke yako huna mtu wa kuambatana na wewe?”
Naʻe toki hoko ai ʻa Tevita ki Nopi ʻo ne ʻalu kia ʻAhimeleki ko e taulaʻeiki: pea manavahē ʻa ʻAhimeleki ʻi he fetaulaki mo Tevita, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke tokotaha ai, pea ʻikai ha tangata ʻiate koe?”
2 Daudi akamjibu Ahimeleki kuhani, “Mfalme amenituma kwa jambo maalum na ameniambia hivi, 'Asiwepo hata mtu mmoja anayejua chochote kuhusu shughuli niliyokutuma, na kile nilichokuagiza.' Nimewaelekeza vijana kwenda sehemu fulani.
Pea pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻAhimeleki ko e taulaʻeiki; “Kuo tuku mai ʻe he tuʻi ha ngāue kiate au,” ʻo ne pehē kiate au, “Ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ʻe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻae ngāue ko ia ʻaia ʻoku ou fekauʻi ai koe, mo ia kuo u fekau kiate koe: pea kuo u fekauʻi ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ki he ngaahi potu ko ʻena.
3 Sasa basi chakula gani kinapatikana hapa? Nipatie mikate mitano, au chochote kilichopo hapa.”
Pea ko ʻena ko e hā ʻoku ʻi ho lalo nima? Tuku mai ki hoku nima ha foʻi mā ʻe nima, pe ha meʻa pe ʻoku ke maʻu.”
4 Huyo Kuhani alimjibu Daudi na kusema, “Hakuna mkate wa kawaida mkononi, lakini ipo mikate takatifu- kama vijana hawajatembea na wanawake.”
Pea talaange ʻe he taulaʻeiki kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ha mā ngofua ʻi hoku nima, ka ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mā tapu; ʻo kapau pe kuo taʻofi ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau talavou mei he kau fefine.”
5 Daudi akamjibu kuhani, “Hakika hatujatembea na wanawake kwa siku hizi tatu. Nilipoanza safari, miili ya vijana iliwekwa wakfu kwa BWANA, ingawa ilikuwa safari ya kawaida. Je, si zaidi sana leo miili yao ikawekwa wakfu kwa BWANA.”
Pea naʻe leaange ʻa Tevita ki he taulaʻeiki, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni kuo taʻofi ʻae kau fefine meiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho nai ʻe tolu, talu ʻeku haʻu kituaʻā, pea ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻae kau talavou, pea ʻoku hangē ʻoku ngofua ʻae mā, ʻio, he kuo fakatapui he ʻaho ni ʻae mā ʻi he ʻaiʻanga.”
6 Hivyo kuhani akampa mikate iliyokuwa imewekwa wakfu kwa BWANA. Maana haikuwepo mikate mingine hapo, isipokuwa tu ile ya wonyesho, ambayo iliondolewa kutoka kwa BWANA, ili sehemu yake iwekwe mikate ya moto, inapokuwa imeondolewa.
Ko ia naʻe ʻatu ai kiate ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae mā tapu: he naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha mā, ka ko e mā pe ʻoe ʻao, ʻaia naʻe toʻo mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke ʻai ki ai ʻae mā mafana ʻi he ʻaho ʻaia naʻe toʻo ʻo ʻave ai ia.
7 Basi siku hiyo mmoja wa watumishi wa Sauli alikuwapo mahali hapo, ameshilkiliwa mbele za BWANA. Jina la mtu huyo aliitwa Doegi Mwedomu, mkuu wa wachungaji wa Sauli.
Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻi he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Saula, naʻe moʻua ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; ko Toeki hono hingoa, ko e tangata ʻItomi, ko e tuʻukimuʻa ia ʻoe kau tauhimanu lalahi ʻa Saula.
8 Daudi akamwambia Ahimeleki, “Je, hakuna hata mkuki wowote au upanga? Maana mimi sikubeba upanga wangu wala silaha zangu, maana ile shughuli ya mfalme ilikuwa ya muhimu.”
Pea pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻAhimeleki, “Pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ho nima ni ha tao pē ha heletā? He ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻomi ʻeku heletā pe ko ʻeku mahafutau, he ko e ngāue ʻae tuʻi naʻe fai fakatoʻotoʻo.”
9 Kuhani akasema, “Ule upanga wa Mfilisti Goliathi, uliyemuua katika bonde la Ela, uko hapa umefunikwa katika nguo nyuma ya naivera. kama unataka kuuchukua huo, uchukue, maana hakuna silaha nyingine hapa.” Daudi akasema, “Hakuna silaha nyingine kama hiyo, nipatie hiyo.”
Pea pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki, “Ko e heletā ʻa Kolaiate ko e tangata Filisitia, ʻaia naʻa ke tāmateʻi ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Ila, Vakai ʻoku tuku tākai ʻae kofu ʻi he tuʻa ʻefoti kapau ko ho loto ke ʻave ia, ʻave ia he ʻoku ʻikai ha taha kehe ka ko ia pe ʻi heni.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “ʻOku ʻikai hano tatau mo ia; tuku mai ia.”
10 Daudi aliamka na kukimbia mbali na Sauli na akaenda kwa Akishi, mfalme wa Gathi.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo hola ʻi heʻene manavahē kia Saula, pea ʻalu ia kia ʻAkisi ko e tuʻi ʻo Kati.
11 Mtumishi wa Akishi akamwambia, “huyu siye Daudi mfalme wa nchi hii? Je, wanawake hawakupokezana wakiimba na kucheza, 'Sauli ameua maelfu yake, na Daudi makumi elfu yake?”'
Pea pehē ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻAkisi kiate ia, “ʻIkai ko Tevita eni ko e tuʻi ʻoe fonua? ʻIkai naʻa nau hiva fetaliʻaki kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻe, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo tāmateʻi ʻe Saula ʻene ngaahi toko afe, mo Tevita ʻene ngaahi toko mano?’
12 Daudi akayaweka maneno hayo moyoni mwake na akamwogopa sana Akishi, mfalme wa Gathi.
Pea naʻe faʻo ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi lea ni ki hono loto, pea naʻe manavahē lahi ia kia ʻAkisi ko e tuʻi ʻo Kati.
13 Daudi akabadili mwenendo wake mbele yao na akajifanya kuwa mwendawazimu machoni pao; akachora-chora alama kwenye vizingiti vya milango huku akitiririsha mate yake chini ya ndevu zake.
Pea naʻa ne fakakehe ʻene anga ʻi honau ʻao ʻo ne fai ʻo hangē kuo vale ia honau nima, pea ne ne vaku ki he matapā ʻoe hūʻanga fale, pea naʻa ne tuku ke tafe hono fāvai ki hono fakapau.
14 Ndipo Akishi akawaambia watumishi wake, “Tazameni, mnaona mtu huyu ni mwehu.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAkisi ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Vakai, ʻoku mou mamata ʻoku fakavalevale ʻae tangata; pea ko e hā ia kuo mou ʻomi ai ia kiate au?
15 Kwa nini mmemleta kwangu? Je, mimi nina haja na wehu, kumbe mmemleta mtu huyu ili anifanyie hayo mbele yangu? Hivi kweli huyu ataingia nyumbani mwangu?
He ʻoku ʻaonga kiate au ha kau tangata fakavalevale, kuo mou ʻomi ai ʻae siana ni ke fai fakavalevale ʻi hoku ʻao? ʻE hoko koā ʻae siana ni ki hoku fale?”
