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 came trembling to meet David and said to him, “Why are you alone and no one with you?”

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.

David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has commissioned me with a matter and has said to me, ‘ Let no one know anything about the matter on which I am sending you and with which I have commissioned you; and I have directed the young men 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 do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found.”

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.

The priest answered David and said, “There is no ordinary bread on hand, but there is consecrated bread; if only the young men have kept themselves 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?

David answered the priest and said to him, “ Surely women have been kept from us as previously when I set out and the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was an ordinary journey; how much more then today will their vessels be holy ?”

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 consecrated bread; for there was no bread there but the bread of the Presence which was removed from before the Lord, in order to put hot bread in its place 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 one of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the Lord; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of Saul’s shepherds.

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.

David said to Ahimelech, “Now is there not a spear or a sword on hand? For I brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s matter was urgent.”

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

Then the priest said, “ The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod; if you would take it for yourself, take it. For there is no other except it here.” And David said, “There is none like it; 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.

Then David arose and fled that day from Saul, and went to Achish 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?

But the servants of Achish said to him, “Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of this one as they danced, 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.

David took these words to heart and greatly feared Achish 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.

So he disguised his sanity before them, and acted insanely in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva run down into 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 to his servants, “Behold, you see the man behaving as a madman. Why do you bring 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?

Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this one to act the madman in my presence? Shall this one come into my house?”
