사무엘상 21

1다윗이 놉에 가서 제사장 아히멜렉에게 이르니 아히멜렉이 떨며 다윗을 영접하며 그에게 이르되 어찌하여 네가 홀로 있고 함께 하는 자가 아무도 없느냐 2다윗이 제사장 아히멜렉에게 이르되 왕이 내게 일을 명하고 이르시기를 내가 너를 보내는 바와 네게 명한 바 일의 아무 것이라도 사람에게 알게 하지 말라 하시기로 내가 나의 소년들을 여차여차한 곳으로 약정하였나이다 3이제 당신의 수중에 무엇이 있나이까 떡 다섯 덩이나 무엇이든지 있는 대로 내 손에 주소서 4제사장이 다윗에게 대답하여 가로되 항용 떡은 내 수중에 없으나 거룩한 떡은 있나니 그 소년들이 부녀를 가까이만 아니하였으면 주리라 5다윗이 제사장에게 대답하여 가로되 우리가 참으로 삼 일 동안이나 부녀를 가까이 하지 아니하였나이다 나의 떠난 길이 보통 여행이라도 소년들의 그릇이 성결하겠거든 하물며 오늘날 그들의 그릇이 성결치 아니하겠나이까 하매 6제사장이 그 거룩한 떡을 주었으니 거기는 진설병 곧 여호와 앞에서 물려 낸 떡밖에 없음이라 이 떡은 더운 떡을 드리는 날에 물려낸 것이더라 7그 날에 사울의 신하 한 사람이 여호와 앞에 머물러 있었는데 그는 도엑이라 이름하는 에돔 사람이요 사울의 목자장이었더라 8다윗이 아히멜렉에게 이르되 여기 당신의 수중에 창이나 칼이 없나이까 왕의 일이 급하므로 내가 내 칼과 병기를 가지지 못하였나이다 9제사장이 가로되 네가 엘라 골짜기에서 죽인 블레셋 사람 골리앗의 칼이 보자기에 싸여 에봇 뒤에 있으니 네가 그것을 가지려거든 가지라 여기는 그 밖에 다른 것이 없느니라 다윗이 가로되 그같은 것이 또 없나니 내게 주소서 10그 날에 다윗이 사울을 두려워하여 일어나 도망하여 가드 왕 아기스에게로 가니 11아기스의 신하들이 아기스에게 고하되 이는 그 땅의 왕 다윗이 아니니이까 무리가 춤추며 이 사람의 일을 창화하여 가로되 사울의 죽인 자는 천천이요 다윗은 만만이로다 하지 아니하였나이까 한지라 12다윗이 이 말을 그 마음에 두고 가드 왕 아기스를 심히 두려워하여 13그들의 앞에서 그 행동을 변하여 미친 체 하고 대문짝에 그적거리며 침을 수염에 흘리매 14아기스가 그 신하에게 이르되 너희도 보거니와 이 사람이 미치광이로다 어찌하여 그를 내게로 데려왔느냐 15내게 미치광이가 부족하여서 너희가 이 자를 데려다가 내 앞에서 미친 짓을 하게 하느냐 이 자가 어찌 내 집에 들어오겠느냐 하니라

1Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said to him, “Why are you alone, and no man with you?” 2David 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 about which I send you, and what I have commanded you; and I have appointed the young men to such and such a place.’ 3Now therefore what is under your hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever there is present.” 4The priest answered David, and said, “There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.” 5David answered the priest, and said to him, “Truly, women have been kept from us about these three days. When I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was but a common journey. How much more then today shall their vessels be holy?” 6So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the show bread, that was taken from before Yahweh, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away. 7Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before Yahweh; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul. 8David said to Ahimelech, “Isn’t there here under your hand spear or sword? For I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.” 9The priest said, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it; for there is no other except that here.” David said, “There is none like that. Give it to me.” 10David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath. 11The servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David the king of the land? Didn’t they sing one to another about him in dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands?’” 12David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath. 13He changed his behavior before them, and pretended to be mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard. 14Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see the man is mad. Why then have you brought him to me? 15Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?”

1Toen kwam David te Nob, tot den priester Achimelech; en Achimelech kwam bevende David tegemoet, en hij zeide tot hem: Waarom zijt gij alleen, en geen man met u? 2En David zeide tot den priester Achimelech: De koning heeft mij een zaak bevolen, en zeide tot mij: Laat niemand iets van de zaak weten, om dewelke ik u gezonden heb, en die ik u geboden heb; den jongelingen nu heb ik de plaats van zulk een te kennen te kennen gegeven. 3En nu wat is er onder uw hand? Geef mij vijf broden in mijn hand, of wat er gevonden wordt. 4En de priester antwoordde David, en zeide: Er is geen gemeen brood onder mijn hand; maar er is heilig brood, wanneer zich de jongelingen slechts van de vrouw onthouden hebben. 5David nu antwoordde den priester, en zeide tot hem: Ja trouwens, de vrouw is ons onthouden geweest gisteren en eergisteren, toen ik uitging, en de vaten der jongelingen zijn heilig; en het is enigerwijze gemeen brood, te meer dewijl heden ander in de vaten zal geheiligd worden. 6Toen gaf de priester hem dat heilige, dewijl er geen brood was dan de toonbroden, die van voor het aangezicht des HEEREN weggenomen waren, dat men er warm brood legde, ten dage als dat weggenomen werd. 7Daar was nu een man van de knechten van Saul, te dienzelven dage opgehouden voor het aangezicht des HEEREN, en zijn naam was Doeg, een Edomiet, de machtigste onder de herderen, die Saul had. 8En David zeide tot Achimelech: Is hier onder uw hand geen spies of zwaard? Want ik heb noch mijn zwaard noch ook mijn wapenen in mijn hand genomen, dewijl de zaak des konings haastig was. 9Toen zeide de priester: Het zwaard van Goliath, den Filistijn, denwelken gij sloegt in het eikendal, zie, dat is hier, gewonden in een kleed, achter den efod; indien gij u dat nemen wilt, zo neem het, want hier is geen ander dan dit. David nu zeide: Er is zijns gelijke niet; geef het mij. 10En David maakte zich op, en vluchtte te dien dage van het aangezicht van Saul; en hij kwam tot Achis, den koning van Gath. 11Doch de knechten van Achis zeiden tot hem: Is deze niet David, de koning des lands? Zong men niet van dezen in de reien, zeggende: Saul heeft zijn duizenden verslagen, maar David zijn tienduizenden? 12En David legde deze woorden in zijn hart; en hij was zeer bevreesd voor het aangezicht van Achis, den koning van Gath. 13Daarom veranderde hij zijn gelaat voor hun ogen, en hij maakte zichzelven gek onder hun handen; en hij bekrabbelde de deuren der poort, en hij liet zijn zever in zijn baard aflopen. 14Toen zeide Achis tot zijn knechten: Ziet, gij ziet, dat de man razende is, waarom hebt gij hem tot mij gebracht? 15Heb ik razenden gebrek, dat gij dezen gebracht hebt, om voor mij te razen? Zal deze in mijn huis komen?
