1 Samuel 21
1 And David came to Nobe to Achimelech the priest: and Achimelech was astonished at David’s coming. And he said to him: Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
Тада Давид дође у Нов к Ахимелеху свештенику; а Ахимелех се уплаши и истрча пред Давида, и рече му: Зашто си сам, и нема никога с тобом?
2 And David said to Achimelech the priest: The king hath commanded me a business, and said: Let no man know the thing for which thou art sent by me, and what manner of commands I have given thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.
А Давид рече Ахимелеху свештенику: Цар ми нешто заповеди, и рече ми: Нико да не дозна зашто те шаљем и шта сам ти заповедио. А слуге сам оправио у то и то место.
3 Now therefore if thou have any thing at hand, though it were but five loaves, give me, or whatsoever thou canst find.
Него шта имаш при руци? Дај ми пет хлебова, или шта имаш.
4 And the priest answered David, saying: I have no common bread at hand, but only holy bread, if the young men be clean, especially from women?
А свештеник одговори Давиду и рече: Немам при руци обичног хлеба; него има светог хлеба; али јесу ли се момци чували од жена?
5 And David answered the priest, and said to him: Truly, as to what concerneth women, we have refrained ourselves from yesterday and the day before, when we came out, and the vessels of the young men were holy. Now this way is defiled, but it shall also be sanctified this day in the vessels.
А Давид одговори свештенику и рече му: Није било жена код нас ни јуче ни ономадне, откако сам пошао, и судови су у момака били свети. А ако би пут и нечист био, осветиће се данас судовима.
6 The priest therefore gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there, but only the loaves of proposition, which had been taken away from before the face of the Lord, that hot loaves might be set up.
Тада му даде свештеник хлебове свете, јер не беше хлеба осим хлебова постављених, који беху узети испред Господа да се поставе хлебови топли онај дан кад се они узеше.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, within the tabernacle of the Lord: and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of Saul’s herdsmen.
А онде беше онај дан један од слуга Саулових бавећи се пред Господом, коме име беше Доик Идумејац, старешина над пастирима Сауловим.
8 And David said to Achimelech: Hast thou here at hand a spear, or a sword? for I brought not my own sword, nor my own weapons with me, for the king’s business required haste.
И Давид рече Ахимелеху: Имаш ли ту какво копље или мач? Јер ни мача свог ни оружја не понесох, јер ствар царева беше хитна.
9 And the priest said: Lo, here is the sword of Goliath the Philistine whom thou slewest in the valley of Terebinth, wrapped up in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take this, take it, for here is no other but this. And David said: There is none like that, give it me.
А свештеник рече: Овде је мач Голијата Филистејина, ког си убио у долини Или, увијен у платно иза оплећака; ако хоћеш, узми га, јер другог осим њега нема овде. А Давид рече: Таквог више нема, дај ми га.
10 And David arose and fled that day from the face of Saul: and came to Achis the king of Geth:
Потом се подиже Давид, и побеже онај дан од Саула, и дође к Ахису, цару гатском.
11 And the servants of Achis, when they saw David, said to him: Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing to him in their dances, saying: Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
А Ахису рекоше слуге његове: Није ли ово Давид, цар земаљски? Нису ли о њему певали играјући и говорећи: Саул згуби своју хиљаду, а Давид својих десет хиљада?
12 But David laid up these words in his heart, and was exceedingly afraid at the face of Achis the king of Geth.
И Давид метну ове речи у срце своје, и побоја се веома Ахиса, цара гатског.
13 And he changed his countenance before them, and slipt down between their hands: and he stumbled against the doors of the gate, and his spittle ran down upon his beard.
И претвори се пред њима и учини се луд у рукама њиховим; и шараше по вратима, и бацаше пену низ браду своју.
14 And Achis said to his servants: You saw the man was mad: why have you brought him to me?
И Ахис рече слугама својим: Ето, видите да је човек луд; што сте ми га довели?
15 Have we need of madmen, that you have brought in this fellow, to play the madman in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?
Зар немам доста лудих, него ми доведосте тога да лудује преда мном? Зар ће тај ући у кућу моју?
