1 και ανεστη δαυιδ και απηλθεν και ιωναθαν εισηλθεν εις την πολιν	1 David then got up and left, and Jonathan went back to the town.
2 και ερχεται δαυιδ εις νομβα προς αβιμελεχ τον ιερεα και εξεστη αβιμελεχ τη απαντησει αυτου και ειπεν αυτω τι οτι συ μονος και ουθεις μετα σου	2 David then went to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. Ahimelech came out trembling to meet David andsaid, 'Why are you alone? Why is nobody with you?'
3 και ειπεν δαυιδ τω ιερει ο βασιλευς εντεταλται μοι ρημα σημερον και ειπεν μοι μηδεις γνωτω το ρημα περι ου εγω αποστελλω σε και υπερ ου εντεταλμαι σοι και τοις παιδαριοις διαμεμαρτυρημαι εν τω τοπω τω λεγομενω θεου πιστις φελλανι αλεμωνι	3 David replied to Ahimelech the priest, 'The king has given me an order and said to me, "Do not letanyone know anything about the mission on which I am sending you, or about the order which I have given you."I have arranged to meet the guards at such and such a place.
4 και νυν ει εισιν υπο την χειρα σου πεντε αρτοι δος εις χειρα μου το ευρεθεν	4 Meanwhile, if you have five loaves of bread to hand, give them to me, or whatever there is.'
5 και απεκριθη ο ιερευς τω δαυιδ και ειπεν ουκ εισιν αρτοι βεβηλοι υπο την χειρα μου οτι αλλ' η αρτοι αγιοι εισιν ει πεφυλαγμενα τα παιδαρια εστιν απο γυναικος και φαγεται	5 The priest replied to David, 'I have no ordinary bread to hand; there are only consecrated loaves ofpermanent offering -- provided that the men have kept themselves from women?'
6 και απεκριθη δαυιδ τω ιερει και ειπεν αυτω αλλα απο γυναικος απεσχημεθα εχθες και τριτην ημεραν εν τω εξελθειν με εις οδον γεγονε παντα τα παιδαρια ηγνισμενα και αυτη η οδος βεβηλος διοτι αγιασθησεται σημερον δια τα σκευη μου	6 David replied to the priest, 'Certainly, women have been forbidden to us, as always when I set off on acampaign. The men's things are clean. Though this is a profane journey, they are certainly clean today as far astheir things are concerned.'
7 και εδωκεν αυτω αβιμελεχ ο ιερευς τους αρτους της προθεσεως οτι ουκ ην εκει αρτος οτι αλλ' η αρτοι του προσωπου οι αφηρημενοι εκ προσωπου κυριου παρατεθηναι αρτον θερμον η ημερα ελαβεν αυτους	7 The priest then gave him what had been consecrated, for the only bread there was the loaves ofpermanent offering, which is taken out of Yahweh's presence, to be replaced by warm bread on the day when itis removed.
8 και εκει ην εν των παιδαριων του σαουλ εν τη ημερα εκεινη συνεχομενος νεεσσαραν ενωπιον κυριου και ονομα αυτω δωηκ ο συρος νεμων τας ημιονους σαουλ	8 Now one of Saul's servants happened to be there that day, detained in Yahweh's presence; his namewas Doeg the Edomite and he was the strongest of Saul's shepherds.
9 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς αβιμελεχ ιδε ει εστιν ενταυθα υπο την χειρα σου δορυ η ρομφαια οτι την ρομφαιαν μου και τα σκευη ουκ ειληφα εν τη χειρι μου οτι ην το ρημα του βασιλεως κατα σπουδην	9 David then said to Ahimelech, 'Have you no spear or sword here to hand? I did not bring either mysword or my weapons with me, because the king's business was urgent.'
10 και ειπεν ο ιερευς ιδου η ρομφαια γολιαθ του αλλοφυλου ον επαταξας εν τη κοιλαδι ηλα και αυτη ενειλημενη εν ιματιω ει ταυτην λημψη σεαυτω λαβε οτι ουκ εστιν ετερα παρεξ ταυτης ενταυθα και ειπεν δαυιδ ιδου ουκ εστιν ωσπερ αυτη δος μοι αυτην	10 The priest replied, 'The sword of Goliath the Philistine whom you kil ed in the Val ey of the Terebinthis here, wrapped in a piece of clothing behind the ephod; if you care to take it, do so, for that is the only onehere.' David said, 'There is nothing like that one; give it to me.'
11 και εδωκεν αυτην αυτω και ανεστη δαυιδ και εφυγεν εν τη ημερα εκεινη εκ προσωπου σαουλ και ηλθεν δαυιδ προς αγχους βασιλεα γεθ	11 David journeyed on and that day fled out of Saul's reach, going to Achish king of Gath.
12 και ειπαν οι παιδες αγχους προς αυτον ουχι ουτος δαυιδ ο βασιλευς της γης ουχι τουτω εξηρχον αι χορευουσαι λεγουσαι επαταξεν σαουλ εν χιλιασιν αυτου και δαυιδ εν μυριασιν αυτου	12 Achish's servants said to him, 'Is not this David, the king of the country? Was it not of him that theysang as they danced: Saul has kil ed his thousands, and David his tens of thousands?'
13 και εθετο δαυιδ τα ρηματα εν τη καρδια αυτου και εφοβηθη σφοδρα απο προσωπου αγχους βασιλεως γεθ	13 David pondered on these words and became very frightened of Achish king of Gath.
14 και ηλλοιωσεν το προσωπον αυτου ενωπιον αυτου και προσεποιησατο εν τη ημερα εκεινη και ετυμπανιζεν επι ταις θυραις της πολεως και παρεφερετο εν ταις χερσιν αυτου και επιπτεν επι τας θυρας της πυλης και τα σιελα αυτου κατερρει επι τον πωγωνα αυτου	14 When their eyes were on him, he played the madman and, when they held him, he feigned lunacy.He drummed his feet on the doors of the gate and let his spittle run down his beard.
15 και ειπεν αγχους προς τους παιδας αυτου ιδου ιδετε ανδρα επιλημπτον ινα τι εισηγαγετε αυτον προς με	15 Achish said to his servants, 'You can see that this man is mad. Why bring him to me?
16 η ελαττουμαι επιλημπτων εγω οτι εισαγειοχατε αυτον επιλημπτευεσθαι προς με ουτος ουκ εισελευσεται εις οικιαν	16 Have I not enough madmen, without your bringing me this one to weary me with his antics? Is he tojoin my household?'
