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?

¹And David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest; and Ahimelech trembled at meeting David, and said to him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?

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.

²And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has commanded me a business, and has said to me, Let no man know anything of the business whereon I send thee, and what I have commanded thee; and I have directed the young men to such and such a place.

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

³And now what is under thy hand? give me five loaves in my hand, or what may be found.

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.

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

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?

⁵And David answered the priest and said to him, Yes indeed, 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, and the more so, because to-day [new] is hallowed in the vessels.

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.

⁶And the priest gave him holy [bread]; for there was no bread there but the shew-loaves that were taken from before Jehovah, to put on hot bread in the day when they were taken away.

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.

⁷(Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before Jehovah; and his name was Doeg, the Edomite, chief of the shepherds that [belonged] to Saul.)

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.

⁸And David said to Ahimelech, And is there not here under thy hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, for the king's business was urgent.

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.

⁹And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of terebinths, 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.

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.

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

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?

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

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

¹²And David took to heart these words, and was much afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

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.

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

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?

¹⁴And Achish said to his servants, Behold, ye see the man is mad: why did ye bring him to me?

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?

¹⁵have I lack of madmen, that ye have brought this one to rave in my presence? shall this [man] come into my house?
