< 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?”
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 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.’
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 what is under your hand? Please give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever is available.”
Него шта имаш при руци? Дај ми пет хлебова, или шта имаш.
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.”
А свештеник одговори Давиду и рече: Немам при руци обичног хлеба; него има светог хлеба; али јесу ли се момци чували од жена?
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?”
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 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.
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, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.
А онде беше онај дан један од слуга Саулових бавећи се пред Господом, коме име беше Доик Идумејац, старешина над пастирима Сауловим.
8 David said to Ahimelech, “Isn’t there here under your hand spear or sword? For I haven’t brought my sword or my weapons with me, because 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 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.”
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 David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
Потом се подиже Давид, и побеже онај дан од Саула, и дође к Ахису, цару гатском.
11 The servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David the king of the land? Didn’t they sing to one another about him in dances, saying, ‘Saul has 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 David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
И Давид метну ове речи у срце своје, и побоја се веома Ахиса, цара гатског.
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.
И претвори се пред њима и учини се луд у рукама њиховим; и шараше по вратима, и бацаше пену низ браду своју.
14 Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see the man is insane. Why then have you brought him to me?
И Ахис рече слугама својим: Ето, видите да је човек луд; што сте ми га довели?
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?”
Зар немам доста лудих, него ми доведосте тога да лудује преда мном? Зар ће тај ући у кућу моју?
