¹Then came David 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 man with thee?

¹Oo 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?

²And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.

²Oo 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.

³Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.

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

⁴And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.

⁴Markaasaa 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.

⁵And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.

⁵Kolkaasaa 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?

⁶So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.

⁶Sidaas 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.

⁷Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.

⁷Oo 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.

⁸And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.

⁸Markaasaa 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.

⁹And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.

⁹Oo 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.

¹⁰And David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

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

¹¹And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

¹¹Kolkaasaa 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?

¹²And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

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

¹³And he changed his behavior before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.

¹³Oo 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.

¹⁴Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?

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

¹⁵Have 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?

¹⁵War 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?
