1 O o markaas dabadeedna Daa'uud wuxuu Nob ugu yimid wadaadkii Axiimeleg ahaa, oo Axiimelegna Daa'uud buu ka hor yimid isagoo gariiraya, oo wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, War maxaa keligaa kaa dhigay oo ninna kuula socon waayay?

¶ Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech, the priest, and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no one with thee?

2 O o Daa'uudna wuxuu wadaadkii Axiimeleg ku yidhi, Boqorkii baa i amray oo muraad ii soo diray, wuxuuna igu yidhi, Ninna yuusan waxba ka ogaan muraadka aan kuu diray, iyo waxa aan kugu amray toona, oo raggii dhallinyarada ahaana meel baan kula ballamay.

And David said unto Ahimelech, the priest, The king has commanded me a business and has said unto me, Let no one know anything of this business about which I send thee and what I have commanded thee, and I have appointed my servants to a certain place.

3 H addaba bal maxaa gacantaada ku jira? Bal i sii shan xabbadood oo kibis ah amase wax alla waxa yaal.

Now, therefore, what is under thy hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand or what there is present.

4 M arkaasaa wadaadkii wuxuu Daa'uud ugu jawaabay, Kibis la wada cuno gacantayda kuma jirto, laakiinse waxaa taal kibis quduus ah haddii ragga dhallinyarada ahu naago ayan taaban.

And the priest answered David and said, There is no common bread under my hand; there is only sacred bread, which I will give thee if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.

5 K olkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu wadaadkii ugu jawaabay, Sida runta ah intii saddex maalmood ah naago waa nalaga dhawray, oo markii aan soo baxay ragga dhallinyarada ah weelalkoodu quduus bay ahaayeen, laakiinse in kastoo uu sodcaalku mid caadi ah yahay, bal maanta intee bay weelalkoodu quduus sii yihiin?

And David answered the priest and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us since yesterday and the day before yesterday since I came out, and the vessels of the young men were holy although the way is profane; how much more that today it shall be sanctified with the vessels.

6 S idaas daraaddeed wadaadkii wuxuu Daa'uud siiyey kibis quduus ah, waayo, halkaas kibis ma oollin, kibistii tusniinta mooyaane, taas oo Rabbiga hortiisa laga soo qaaday si kibis kulul loo dhigo maalinta tii hore laga soo qaado.

So the priest gave him the sacred bread, for there was no bread there but the showbread that had been taken from before the LORD to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.

7 O o maalintaas waxaa halkaas joogay nin ka mid ah Saa'uul addoommadiisii, oo kaasna Rabbiga hortiisaa lagu hayay, magiciisuna wuxuu ahaa Do'eeg kii reer Edom, oo wuxuuna ahaa kii madaxda u ahaa xoolojirrada Saa'uul.

Now a certain man of the slaves of Saul was there that day, fulfilling a vow before the LORD, and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the principal of the pastors of Saul.

8 M arkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Axiimeleg ku yidhi, Waxba miyaanad haynin waran amase seef? Waayo, sooma aan qaadan seeftaydii iyo hubkaygii toona, maxaa yeelay, waxaa i soo deddejiyey muraadkii boqorku ii soo diray.

And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thy hand a spear or a sword? For I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me because the king’s business required haste.

9 O o wadaadkiina wuxuu yidhi, Bal eeg, waxaa halkan eefodka dabadiisa taal iyadoo maro ku duudduuban seeftii Goli'adkii reer Falastiin, oo aad dooxii Eelaah ku dishay, oo haddaad doonaysid inaad taas qaadatid, iska qaado, maxaa yeelay, taas mooyaane mid kale halkan ma taal. Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu yidhi, Taasoo kaleba ma jirto; ee bal i soo sii. Daa'uud Oo Gad Yimid

And the priest replied, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou didst overcome in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a veil behind the ephod; if thou wilt take that, take it, for there is none other except that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it to me.

10 M arkaasaa Daa'uud kacay, oo maalintaas wuxuu u cararay cabsi uu Saa'uul ka qabay aawadeed, oo wuxuu u tegey Aakiish oo boqorkii Gad ahaa.

¶ And David arose and fled that day from the presence of Saul and went to Achish, the king of Gath.

11 K olkaasaa addoommadii Aakiish waxay isagii ku yidhaahdeen, War sow kanu ma aha Daa'uud boqorkii dalka? Oo sow midkoodba midka kale gabay uguma celin iyagoo cayaaraya oo leh, Saa'uul wuxuu laayay kumanyaalkiisii, Daa'uudna wuxuu laayay tobanyaalkiisii kun?

And the slaves of Achish said unto him, Is this not David, the king of the land? Did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul has slain his thousands and David his ten thousands?

12 O o Daa'uudna erayadaas qalbiguu ku haystay, oo aad buuna uga cabsanayay Aakiish oo ahaa boqorkii Gad.

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

13 O o markaasuu dabicaddiisii hortooda ku beddelay, oo wuxuu iska dhigay mid waalan markuu gacmahooda soo galay, oo wuxuu xagxagtay albaabbadii iridda, oo gadhkana dhareer buu iskaga daadiyey.

And he changed his behaviour before them and feigned himself a fool in their hands and scrabbled on the doors of the gate and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.

14 M arkaasaa Aakiish wuxuu addoommadiisii ku yidhi, War waad aragtaan inuu ninku waalan yahay, haddaba bal maxaad iigu keenteen?

Then Achish said unto his slaves, Behold, ye see the man is mad; why then have ye brought him to me?

15 W ar ma waxaan u baahanahay niman waalan, oo ma taas aawadeed baad ninkan u keenteen inuu hortayda isku waalo? War ma ninkan oo kalaa gurigayga soo gala?

Have I need of mad men that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?
