Prva knjiga o Samuelu 21

Biblija Hrvatski	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Nato David usta i ode, a Jonatan se vrati u grad.	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?
2 David dođe u Nob k svećeniku Ahimeleku. Ovaj dršćući pođe ususret Davidu i upita ga: »Zašto si sâm i nema nikoga s tobom?«	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.
3 A David odgovori svećeniku Ahimeleku: »Kralj mi je dao nalog i rekao mi: ‘Nitko neka ništa ne dozna zašto te šaljem i što sam ti zapovjedio!’ A momke sam poslao da me dočekaju na tom i tom mjestu.	3 Now therefore if thou have any thing at hand, though it were but five loaves, give me, or whatsoever thou canst find.
4 A sada, ako imaš pri ruci pet hljebova, daj mi ih, ili što god se nađe!«	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?
5 A svećenik odgovori Davidu: »Nemam pri ruci običnoga kruha, nego samo svetoga kruha; ali samo ako su se tvoji momci uzdržali od žena.«	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.
6 David odgovori svećeniku ovako: »Sasvim pouzdano! Žene su nam bile uskraćene, kao uvijek kad izlazimo na vojni pohod, i tijela su u momaka čista. Iako je ovo običan put, uistinu su danas čisti tijelom.«	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.
7 Tada mu svećenik dade svetoga kruha, jer nije bilo drugoga kruha ondje osim žrtvenoga, onoga koji se uklanjao ispred Jahve da se zamijeni toplim kruhom u dan kad se uzima.	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.
8 Ondje je istoga dana bio jedan od Šaulovih slugu, zadržao se pred Jahvom; zvao se Doeg Edomac, a bio je nadglednik Šaulovih pastira.	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.
9 David upita Ahimeleka: »A nemaš li ovdje pri ruci kakvo koplje ili mač? Nisam uzeo sa sobom ni svoga mača ni svoga oružja, jer je kraljev nalog bio hitan.«	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.
10 A svećenik mu odgovori: »Ovdje je mač Filistejca Golijata, onoga koga si ubio u Terebintskoj dolini; zamotan je u plašt i položen iza oplećka. Ako ga hoćeš uzeti, uzmi ga samo, jer drugoga osim njega nema ovdje.« A David odvrati: »Takva više nema, daj mi ga!«	10 And David arose and fled that day from the face of Saul: and came to Achis the king of Geth:
11 Potom David ustade i pobježe onaj dan daleko od Šaula i dođe Akišu, kralju Gata.	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?
12 A dvorani Akiševi rekoše svome kralju: »Nije li to David, kralj zemlje? To je onaj o kome su plešući pjevali: ‘Pobi Šaul svoje tisuće, David na desetke tisuća.’«	12 But David laid up these words in his heart, and was exceedingly afraid at the face of Achis the king of Geth.
13 David se zamisli o tim riječima i silno se uplaši gatskoga kralja Akiša.	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.
14 Tada se David poče pretvarati pred njima kao da je umobolan i vladati se kao luđak u njihovim rukama: bubnjao je po vratima i puštao da mu teče slina niz bradu.	14 And Achis said to his servants: You saw the man was mad: why have you brought him to me?
15 Tada Akiš reče svojim dvoranima: »Vidite dobro da je čovjek lud! Zašto ga dovodite k meni?	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?
16 Zar nemam dosta budala te mi dovodite ovoga da mi dosađuje svojim ludilom? Zar će taj ući u moju kuću?«
