1 Samuel 21
1 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?”
Ary Davida tonga tany Noba, tany amin’ i Ahimeleka mpisorona; ary toran-kovitra Ahimeleka, raha nihaona tamin’ i Davida, ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana no mandeha irery ianao, fa tsy misy manaraka anao?
2 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.’
Dia hoy Davida tamin’ i Ahimeleka mpisorona: Ny mpanjaka efa nanome raharaha ahy, ka hoy izy tamiko: Aoka tsy ho fantatr’ olona ny raharaha nanirahako sy nandidiako anao; ka dia nasaiko nankary ny zatovoko.
3 Now therefore what is under your hand? Please give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever is available.”
Koa inona no misy ato aminao? Omeo mofo dimy aho ho etỳ an-tanako, na izay misy.
4 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.”
Ary ny mpisorona namaly an’ i Davida hoe: Tsy misy mofo fihinana ato amiko, fa mofo masìna ihany no ato, ka raha mba nifady vehivavy ahay mantsy ny zatovo.
5 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?”
Ary Davida namaly ny mpisorona ka nanao taminy hoe: Eny, fa hatramin’ ny hateloana efa tsy niara-nitoetra tamim-behivavy rahateo izahay; ary tamin’ izaho niainga dia masìna ny fanaky ny zatovo; ary na dia tsy masìna aza ny lalana, dia hohamasinina anio izy noho ny fanaka.
6 So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the show bread that was taken from before the LORD, to be replaced with hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
Ary ny mpisorona nanome azy mofo masìna; fa tsy nisy mofo teo, afa-tsy ny mofo aseho, izay nalainy teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, mba hasiana mofo mafana tamin’ ny andro nanesorana azy.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.
(Nefa nisy anankiray tamin’ ny mpanompon’ i Saoly teo tamin’ izany andro izany, voahazona teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, Doega Edomita no anarany; lehiben’ ny mpiandrin’ i Saoly izy.)
8 David said to Ahimelech, “Is not there here under your hand spear or sword? For I have not brought my sword or my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.”
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Ahimeleka: Tsy misy lefona na sabatra va eto aminao? fa izaho tsy nitondra ny sabatro na ny fiadiako etỳ amiko, satria nahamaika ny raharahan’ ny mpanjaka.
9 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.”
Fa hoy ny mpisorona: Ny sabatr’ i Goliata Filistina, ilay novonoinao tao amin’ ny lohasaha Elaha, indro, fa mifono lamba ao ivohon’ ny efoda izy; ka raha iny no ho entinao, dia ento; fa tsy misy afa-tsy iny eto. Ary hoy Davida: Tsy misy tahaka iny, fa omeo ahy.
10 David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
Ary Davida niainga nandositra tamin’ izany andro izany mba tsy ho azon’ i Saoly, dia nankany amin’ i Akisy, mpanjakan’ i Gata.
11 The servants of Achish said to him, “Is not this David the king of the land? Did not they sing to one another about him in dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands’?”
Ary hoy ny mpanompon’ i Akisy taminy: Tsy ity moa no Davida, mpanjakan’ ny tany? Tsy izy va no nandihizany sy nifampihirany hoe: Saoly nahafaty arivoarivo, Fa Davida nahafaty alinalina?
12 David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
Ary dia nalatsak’ i Davida tao am-pony izany teny izany, ka natahotra an’ i Akisy, mpanjakan’ i Gata, indrindra izy.
13 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.
Dia nody adala teo anatrehany izy ka nanao tahaka ny olona very saina teo aminy, fa nanoratsoratra teo amin’ ny lela-vavahady izy, sady navelany hitsororoka tamin’ ny somony ny iviny.
14 Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see the man is insane. Why then have you brought him to me?
Ary hoy Akisy tamin’ ny mpanompony: He! hitanareo fa very saina io lehilahy io, ka nahoana no nentinareo etỳ amiko izy?
15 Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Should this fellow come into my house?”
Izaho moa mitady olona very saina, no nitondranareo ity olona very saina ity mba hanondrana eto anatrehako? Moa hiditra ato an-tranoko va ilehio?
