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?"

Potem je David prišel v Nob, k duhovniku Ahimélehu in Ahiméleh se je bal ob srečanju z Davidom in mu je rekel: »Zakaj si sam in ni nikogar s teboj?«

2 David said to the priest, "The king has commanded me a business, and has said to me, 'Let no man know anything of the business about which I send you, and what I have commanded you; and I have arranged to meet the young men at a certain place.'

David je rekel duhovniku Ahimélehu: »Kralj mi je zapovedal opravilo in mi rekel: ›Naj noben človek ne izve karkoli o opravilu, s katerim te pošiljam in kaj sem ti zapovedal in svoje služabnike sem določil na takšen in takšen kraj.‹

3 Now, if there are five loaves of bread under your control, give them into my hand, or whatever there is."

Zdaj torej kaj je pod tvojo roko? Daj mi pet hlebov kruha v roko ali kar je prisotnega.«

4 And the priest answered David, and said, "There is no common bread in my control, but there is holy bread. If the young men have kept themselves from women, they may eat of it."

Duhovnik je Davidu odgovoril in rekel: » Tam ni običajnega kruha pod mojo roko, temveč je posvečen kruh, če so se vsaj mladeniči zadržali pred ženskami.«

5 And David answered the priest, and said to him, "Truly women have been kept from us as always when I set out. All the young men are holy, even when it is an ordinary mission. So how much more today will their vessels be holy?"

David je odgovoril duhovniku in mu rekel: »Resnično so bile ženske zadržane pred nami te tri dni, odkar sem prišel ven in posode mladeničev so svete in kruh je nekako običajen, da, kot bi bil ta dan posvečen v posodi.«

6 So the priest gave him what had been consecrated, for there was no bread there but the show bread, that had been removed before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.

Tako mu je duhovnik dal posvečenega kruha, kajti tam ni bilo kruha, razen hleba navzočnosti, kar je bilo vzeto izpred Gospoda, da se položi vroč kruh na dan, ko je bil ta vzet.

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.

Torej nek mož izmed Savlovih služabnikov se je ta dan zadrževal tam pred Gospodom in njegovo ime je bilo Doég, Edómec, glavni izmed črednikov, ki so pripadali Savlu.

8 David said to Ahimelech, "Isn't there here under your control spear or sword? For I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste."

David je rekel Ahimélehu: »In ali ni tukaj pod tvojo roko sulica ali meč? Kajti s seboj nisem prinesel niti svojega meča niti svojih orožij, ker je kraljev posel zahteval naglico.«

9 The priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, look, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind an ephod. If you will take that, take it; for there is no other except that here." David said, "There is none like that. Give it to me."

Duhovnik je rekel: »Meč Filistejca Goljata, ki si ga umoril v dolini Elá, glej, ta je tukaj, za efódom zavit v oblačilo. Če hočeš vzeti tega, ga vzemi, kajti nobenega drugega ni, razen tega tukaj.« David je rekel: »Nobenega ni podobnega temu; daj mi ga.«

10 David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

David se je vzdignil in tisti dan iz strahu pred Savlom pobegnil in šel k Ahíšu, kralju v Gatu.

11 The servants of Achish said to him, "Isn't this David the king of the land? Did they not sing one to another about him in dances, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands?'"

Ahíševi služabniki so mu rekli: » Ali ni to David, kralj dežele? Ali niso prepevale druga drugi o njem v plesih, rekoč: ›Savel je umoril svoje tisoče, David pa svoje deset tisoče?‹«

12 David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

David si je te besede položil v svoje srce in se boleče bal Ahíša, kralja iz Gata.

13 He changed his behavior before them, and pretended to be mad in their hands, and drummed on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle run down his beard.

Pred njimi je spremenil svoje obnašanje in v njihovih rokah se je hlinil zmešanega in praskal po vhodih velikih vrat in si svojo slino pustil izlivati na svojo brado.

14 Then Achish said to his servants, "Look, you see the man is mad. Why then have you brought him to me?

Potem je Ahíš rekel svojim služabnikom: »Glejte no! Vidite, človek je zmešan. Zakaj ste ga torej privedli k meni?

15 Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?"

Mar potrebujem zmešanih ljudi, da ste pripeljali tega pajdaša, da igra norca v moji prisotnosti? Ali naj ta pajdaš pride v mojo hišo?«
