撒母耳記上 21
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1大衛 到了 挪伯 祭司 亞希米勒 那裏， 亞希米勒 戰戰兢兢地出來迎接他，問他說：「你為甚麼獨自來，沒有人跟隨呢？」
1Then David came 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?”
2大衛 回答祭司 亞希米勒 說：「王吩咐我一件事說：『我差遣你委託你的這件事，不要使人知道。』故此我已派定少年人在某處等候我。
2David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has commanded me to do something, and has said to me, ‘Let no one know anything about the business about which I send you, and what I have commanded you. I have sent the young men to a certain place.’
3現在你手下有甚麼？求你給我五個餅或是別樣的食物。」
3Now therefore what is under your hand? Please give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever is available.”
4祭司對 大衛 說：「我手下沒有尋常的餅，只有聖餅；若少年人沒有親近婦人才可以給。」
4The priest answered David, and said, “I have no common bread, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.”
5大衛 對祭司說：「實在約有三日我們沒有親近婦人；我出來的時候，雖是尋常行路，少年人的器皿還是潔淨的；何況今日不更是潔淨嗎？」
5David answered the priest, and said to him, “Truly, women have been kept from us as usual these three days. When I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was only a common journey. How much more then today shall their vessels be holy?”
6祭司就拿聖 餅 給他；因為在那裏沒有別樣餅，只有更換新餅，從耶和華面前撤下來的陳設餅。 （
6So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the show bread that was taken from before the LORD, to be replaced with hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
7當日有 掃羅 的一個臣子留在耶和華面前。他名叫 多益 ，是 以東 人，作 掃羅 的司牧長。）
7Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.
8大衛 問 亞希米勒 說：「你手下有槍有刀沒有？因為王的事甚急，連刀劍器械我都沒有帶。」
8David said to Ahimelech, “Isn’t there here under your hand spear or sword? For I haven’t brought my sword or my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.”
9祭司說：「你在 以拉谷 殺 非利士 人 歌利亞 的那刀在這裏，裹在布中，放在以弗得後邊，你要就可以拿去；除此以外，再沒有別的。」 大衛 說：「這刀沒有可比的！求你給我。」
9The priest said, “Behold, the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you would like to take that, take it, for there is no other except that here.” David said, “There is none like that. Give it to me.”
10那日 大衛 起來，躲避 掃羅 ，逃到 迦特 王 亞吉 那裏。
10David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
11亞吉 的臣僕對 亞吉 說：「這不是 以色列 國王 大衛 嗎？那裏的婦女跳舞唱和，不是指着他說『 掃羅 殺死千千， 大衛 殺死萬萬』嗎？」
11The servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David the king of the land? Didn’t they sing to one another about him in dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands’?”
12大衛 將這話放在心裏，甚懼怕 迦特 王 亞吉 ，
12David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
13就在眾人面前改變了尋常的舉動，在他們手下假裝瘋癲，在城門的門扇上胡寫亂畫，使唾沫流在鬍子上。
13He changed his behavior before them and pretended to be insane in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard.
14亞吉 對臣僕說：「你們看，這人是瘋子。為甚麼帶他到我這裏來呢？
14Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see the man is insane. Why then have you brought him to me?
15我豈缺少瘋子，你們帶這人來在我面前瘋癲嗎？這人豈可進我的家呢？」
15Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Should this fellow come into my house?”
