1David therefore departed there, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him.
1Ja Taavet läks sealt ära ning pääses Adullami koopasse. Kui tema vennad ja kogu ta isa pere sellest kuulsid, läksid nad sinna alla tema juurde.
2Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
2Ja ta juurde kogunesid kõik, kel oli kitsas käes, kel oli võlausaldaja, kes olid hinges kibestunud, ja ta sai nende pealikuks; tema juures oli ligi nelisada meest.
3David went there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come out with you, until I know what God will do for me.”
3Sealt läks Taavet Moabi Mispasse ja ütles Moabi kuningale: 'Luba mu isa ja ema tulla seniks teie juurde, kuni ma saan teada, mis Jumal minuga teeb!'
4He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
4Siis ta viis nad Moabi kuninga ette ja nad elasid tema juures kogu selle aja, mis Taavet oli mäelinnuses.
5The prophet Gad said to David, “Don’t stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah.” Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
5Aga prohvet Gaad ütles Taavetile: 'Ära jää mäelinnusesse, lahku sealt ja mine Juudamaale!' Ja Taavet läks ning tuli Haareti metsa.
6Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
6Saul sai kuulda, et Taavet ja temaga koos olevad mehed olid avastatud; Saul istus Gibeas tamariskipuu all künkal, piik käes, ja kõik ta sulased seisid ta juures.
7Saul said to his servants who stood about him, “Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
7Ja Saul ütles oma sulastele, kes seisid ta juures: 'Kuulge ometi, benjaminlased! Kas annab ka Iisai poeg teile kõigile põlde ja viinamägesid? Kas ta paneb teid kõiki tuhande- ja sajapealikuiks,
8that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none who discloses to me when my son makes a treaty with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?”
8et te kõik peate vandenõu minu vastu? Mitte ükski ei ole ilmutanud mu kõrvale, et mu poeg on teinud liidu Iisai pojaga. Mitte ükski teist ei ole mures minu pärast, et ta ilmutaks mu kõrvale, et mu poeg on ässitanud mu sulast mind varitsema, nagu see praegu on.'
9Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said, “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
9Siis vastas edomlane Doeg, kes seisis Sauli sulaste juures, ja ütles: 'Ma nägin Iisai poja tulevat Noobi Ahituubi poja Ahimeleki juurde,
10He inquired of Yahweh for him, gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
10kes küsis Issandalt temale nõu, andis temale teerooga ja vilist Koljati mõõga.'
11Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
11Siis kuningas läkitas kutsuma preester Ahimelekit, Ahituubi poega, ja kogu ta isa sugu, kes olid preestreiks Noobis; ja need kõik tulid kuninga juurde.
12Saul said, “Hear now, you son of Ahitub.” He answered, “Here I am, my lord.”
12Ja Saul ütles: 'Kuule nüüd, Ahituubi poeg!' Ja see vastas: 'Siin ma olen, mu isand!'
13Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?”
13Ja Saul küsis temalt: 'Mispärast te olete pidanud vandenõu minu vastu, sina ja Iisai poeg, et sa andsid temale leiba ja mõõga ja küsisid Jumalalt temale nõu, selleks et ta tõuseks mind varitsema, nagu see praegu on?'
14Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, and is taken into your council, and is honorable in your house?
14Ja Ahimelek kostis kuningale ning ütles: 'Kes on kõigi su sulaste hulgast nii ustav kui Taavet, kuninga väimees, su ihukaitsepealik ja su kojas austatu?
15Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me! Don’t let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knows nothing of all this, less or more.”
15Kas ma alles täna olen hakanud temale Jumalalt nõu küsima? See on minust kaugel! Kuningas ärgu pangu seda asja süüks oma sulasele ega kogu mu isa soole, sest su sulane ei teadnud midagi kõigest sellest, ei vähem ega rohkem!'
16The king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you, and all your father’s house.”
16Aga kuningas ütles: 'Sa pead surema, Ahimelek, sina ja kogu su isa sugu!'
17The king said to the guard who stood about him, “Turn, and kill the priests of Yahweh; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and didn’t disclose it to me.” But the servants of the king wouldn’t put forth their hand to fall on the priests of Yahweh.
17Ja kuningas ütles käsutäitjaile, kes seisid ta juures: 'Pöörduge sinna ja surmake Issanda preestrid, sest ka nende käsi on Taavetiga; kuigi nad teadsid, et ta põgenes, ei ilmutanud nemad seda mu kõrvale!' Aga kuninga sulased ei tahtnud sirutada oma kätt, et tungida kallale Issanda preestritele.
18The king said to Doeg, “Turn and attack the priests!” Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod.
18Siis ütles kuningas Doegile: 'Pöördu sina sinna ja mine preestritele kallale!' Ja edomlane Doeg pöördus ning läks ise preestritele kallale ja tappis sel päeval kaheksakümmend viis linast õlarüüd kandvat meest.
19He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle and donkeys and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
19Ja ta lõi preestrite linnas Noobis mõõgateraga maha nii mehed kui naised, nii lapsed kui imikud ja, samuti mõõgateraga, ka härjad, eeslid ja lambad.
20One of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
20Pääses ainult üks Ahituubi poja Ahimeleki poeg, Ebjatar nimi, kes põgenes Taaveti juurde.
21Abiathar told David that Saul had slain Yahweh’s priests.
21Ja Ebjatar jutustas Taavetile, et Saul oli Issanda preestrid tapnud.
22David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of all the persons of your father’s house.
22Ja Taavet ütles Ebjatarile: 'Ma teadsin juba sel päeval, kui seal oli edomlane Doeg, et ta kindlasti teatab sellest Saulile. Minu tõttu on see sündinud kõigile su isa soo hingedele!
23Stay with me, don’t be afraid; for he who seeks my life seeks your life. For with me you shall be in safeguard.”
23Jää minu juurde, ära karda, sest kes püüab minu hinge, see püüab ka sinu hinge, minu juures oled sa aga kaitstud!'
