1 Samuel 21

David huye de Saúl
21 (2) David se dirigió a Nob, a ver al sacerdote Ahimélec, que sorprendido salió a su encuentro y le dijo:
—¿Cómo es que vienes solo, sin que nadie te acompañe?
2 (3) David le contestó:
—El rey me ha ordenado atender un asunto, y me ha dicho que nadie debía saber para qué me ha enviado ni cuáles son las órdenes que traigo. En cuanto a los hombres bajo mis órdenes, los he citado en cierto lugar. 3 (4) A propósito, ¿qué provisiones tienes a mano? Dame cinco panes o lo que encuentres.
4 (5) Y el sacerdote le contestó:
—El pan que tengo a mano no es pan común y corriente, sino que está consagrado. Pero te lo daré, si tus hombres se han mantenido alejados de las mujeres.
5 (6) David le respondió con firmeza:
—Como siempre que salimos a campaña, hemos estado alejados de las mujeres. Y aunque éste es un viaje ordinario, ya mis hombres estaban limpios cuando salimos, así que con más razón lo han de estar ahora.
6 (7) Entonces el sacerdote le entregó el pan consagrado, pues allí no había más que los panes que se consagran al Señor y que ese mismo día se habían quitado del altar, para poner en su lugar pan caliente. 7 (8) En aquella ocasión estaba allí uno de los oficiales de Saúl, que había tenido que quedarse en el santuario. Era un edomita llamado Doeg, jefe de los pastores de Saúl.
8 (9) David le dijo a Ahimélec:
—¿Tienes a mano una lanza o una espada? Pues era tan urgente la orden del rey que no tuve tiempo de tomar mi espada ni mis otras armas.
9 (10) El sacerdote le respondió:
—Sí. Tengo la espada de Goliat, el filisteo que tú venciste en el valle de Elá. Está ahí, detrás del efod, envuelta en una capa. Puedes llevártela, si quieres; más armas no tengo.
David contestó:
—Ninguna otra sería mejor. Dámela.
10 (11) Aquel mismo día David siguió huyendo de Saúl, y fue a presentarse a Aquís, el rey de Gat. 11 (12) Y los oficiales de Aquís le dijeron:
—¡Pero si éste es David, servidor de Saúl, el rey de esta tierra! ¡Él es de quien cantaban en las danzas: “Mil hombres mató Saúl, y diez mil mató David”!
12 (13) David tomó muy en cuenta estos comentarios, y tuvo miedo de Aquís, rey de Gat. 13 (14) Por eso, delante de ellos cambió su conducta normal, y fingiéndose loco escribía garabatos en las puertas y dejaba que la saliva le corriera por la barba. 14 (15) Entonces Aquís dijo a sus oficiales:
—Si ustedes ven que este hombre está loco, ¿para qué me lo trajeron? 15 (16) ¿Acaso me hacen falta locos, que me han traído a éste para que haga sus locuras en mi propia casa?

大卫在挪伯获亚希米勒帮助
21 大卫到了挪伯祭司亚希米勒那里,亚希米勒战战兢兢地迎接大卫,对他说:“你为甚么独自一人,没有人跟随你呢?”(本节在《马索拉文本》为21:2) 2 大卫对亚希米勒祭司说:“王吩咐我作一件事,对我说:‘我差派你,吩咐你去办的这事,你不要让任何人知道,我已经指示我的仆人在某地会面。’ 3 现在你手中有甚么?求你给我五个饼,或是别的食物。” 4 祭司回答大卫:“我手中没有普通的饼,只有圣饼。只有那些没有亲近过女人的年轻人,才可以吃的。” 5 大卫回答祭司说:“像以往我出征的时候一样,这次我们出征前,确实没有亲近女人。虽然这是一次普通的任务,众仆人的器皿还是清洁的,何况今天这些器皿更加是清洁的。” 6 于是祭司把圣饼给他,因为在那里没有别的饼,只有陈设饼,就是那些刚从耶和华面前拿下来,为要换上热的。
7 那天有一个扫罗的臣仆在那里,留在耶和华面前。他名叫多益,是以东人,是扫罗牧羊人中的领袖。
8 大卫问亚希米勒:“你手下有枪有刀没有?因为王的事很急迫,所以我手里连刀剑或其他武器都没有带来。” 9 祭司回答:“有一把刀,是你从前在以拉谷击杀的那非利士人歌利亚的刀。这刀用布包着,放在以弗得后面,你若是要拿去自用,就拿去吧,因为这里除了这刀以外,再没有别的武器了。”大卫说:“没有比这更好的刀了,请你给我吧!”
大卫在迦特装疯
10 那一天大卫起来,从扫罗面前逃走,到了迦特王亚吉那里。 11 亚吉的臣仆对亚吉说:“这不是那地的王大卫吗?那里的妇女不是指着他跳舞歌唱说:
‘扫罗杀死千千,
大卫杀死万万’吗?”
12 大卫把这些话记在心里,他非常怕迦特王亚吉, 13 就在众人面前假装神智不健全,在他们手下装疯,在城门的门扇上胡乱涂写,又让唾沫流到胡须上。 14 亚吉就对他的臣仆说:“你们看,这个人疯了,你们为甚么把他带到我这里来呢? 15 难道我缺少疯子吗?你们竟把这人带来我面前发疯。这人怎可以进我的家呢?”
1 Samuel 21
New International Version
David at Nob
21 [a]David went to Nob,(A) to Ahimelek the priest. Ahimelek trembled(B) when he met him, and asked, “Why are you alone? Why is no one with you?”
2 David answered Ahimelek the priest, “The king sent me on a mission and said to me, ‘No one is to know anything about the mission I am sending you on.’ As for my men, I have told them to meet me at a certain place. 3 Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever you can find.”
4 But the priest answered David, “I don’t have any ordinary bread(C) on hand; however, there is some consecrated(D) bread here—provided the men have kept(E) themselves from women.”
5 David replied, “Indeed women have been kept from us, as usual(F) whenever[b] I set out. The men’s bodies are holy(G) even on missions that are not holy. How much more so today!” 6 So the priest gave him the consecrated bread,(H) since there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence that had been removed from before the Lord and replaced by hot bread on the day it was taken away.
7 Now one of Saul’s servants was there that day, detained before the Lord; he was Doeg(I) the Edomite,(J) Saul’s chief shepherd.
8 David asked Ahimelek, “Don’t you have a spear or a sword here? I haven’t brought my sword or any other weapon, because the king’s mission was urgent.”
9 The priest replied, “The sword(K) of Goliath(L) the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah,(M) is here; it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want it, take it; there is no sword here but that one.”
David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.”
David at Gath
10 That day David fled from Saul and went(N) to Achish king of Gath. 11 But the servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David, the king of the land? Isn’t he the one they sing about in their dances:
“‘Saul has slain his thousands,
    and David his tens of thousands’?”(O)
12 David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish king of Gath. 13 So he pretended to be insane(P) in their presence; and while he was in their hands he acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his beard.
14 Achish said to his servants, “Look at the man! He is insane! Why bring him to me? 15 Am I so short of madmen that you have to bring this fellow here to carry on like this in front of me? Must this man come into my house?”

King James Version
21 Then 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?
2 And 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.
3 Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.
4 And 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.
5 And 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.
6 So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before the Lord, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
7 Now 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.
8 And 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.
9 And 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.
10 And David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
11 And 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?
12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
13 And he changed his behaviour 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.
14 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?
15 Have 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?
