1And David came to Nobe to Achimelech the priest: and Achimelech was astonished at David’s coming. And he said to him: Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
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？」
2And David said to Achimelech the priest: The king hath commanded me a business, and said: Let no man know the thing for which thou art sent by me, and what manner of commands I have given thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.
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。
3Now therefore if thou have any thing at hand, though it were but five loaves, give me, or whatsoever thou canst find.
3現在你手下有甚麼？求你給我五個餅或是別樣的食物。」
4And the priest answered David, saying: I have no common bread at hand, but only holy bread, if the young men be clean, especially from women?
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。」
5And David answered the priest, and said to him: Truly, as to what concerneth women, we have refrained ourselves from yesterday and the day before, when we came out, and the vessels of the young men were holy. Now this way is defiled, but it shall also be sanctified this day in the vessels.
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？」
6The priest therefore gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there, but only the loaves of proposition, which had been taken away from before the face of the Lord, that hot loaves might be set up.
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。 （
7Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, within the tabernacle of the Lord: and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of Saul’s herdsmen.
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。）
8And David said to Achimelech: Hast thou here at hand a spear, or a sword? for I brought not my own sword, nor my own weapons with me, for the king’s business required haste.
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。」
9And the priest said: Lo, here is the sword of Goliath the Philistine whom thou slewest in the valley of Terebinth, wrapped up in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take this, take it, for here is no other but this. And David said: There is none like that, give it me.
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。」
10And David arose and fled that day from the face of Saul: and came to Achis the king of Geth:
10那日 大衛 起來，躲避 掃羅 ，逃到 迦特 王 亞吉 那裏。
11And the servants of Achis, when they saw David, said to him: Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing to him in their dances, saying: Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
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？」
12But David laid up these words in his heart, and was exceedingly afraid at the face of Achis the king of Geth.
12大衛 將這話放在心裏，甚懼怕 迦特 王 亞吉 ，
13And he changed his countenance before them, and slipt down between their hands: and he stumbled against the doors of the gate, and his spittle ran down upon his beard.
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。
14And Achis said to his servants: You saw the man was mad: why have you brought him to me?
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？
15Have we need of madmen, that you have brought in this fellow, to play the madman in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?
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？」
