1 Samuele 21 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

21 ¹Davide anadza kwa Ahimeleki wansembe ku Nobi. Ahimeleki ananjenjemera pokumana naye, nati, “Chifukwa chiyani uli wekha, popanda wina nawe?” ²Davide anati kwa Ahimeleki wansembe, “Mfumu inandilamula nati, ‘Munthu aliyense asadziwe kanthu konse za ntchito imene ndikukutuma, ndi zimene ndakulamula.’ Ndipo ndalozera anyamata anga ku malo wina wake. ³Tsono muli ndi chiyani? Ndipatseni mitanda isanu ya mkate, kapena chilichonse chimene mungapeze.”

⁴Wansembe anati kwa Davide, “Ndiribe mkate wa tsiku ndi tsiku, koma mkate woyera wokha, ngati anyamatawo adzipatula kwa akazi.”

⁵Davide anayankha wansembe nati, “Ndithudi akazi atipatula ife, monga mwa nthawi zonse pamene ndinyamuka. Matupi a anyamatawa ngoyera ngakhale pa ulendo wa tsiku ndi tsiku; koposanso lerolino, matupi awo adzakhala oyera!” ⁶Chotero wansembe anampatsa mkate woyera, popeza panalibe mkate wina koma mkate wa Pamaso wokha, umene anawuchotsa pamaso pa Atate wathu kuti aliowe ndi mkate wofunda tsiku limene anawuchotsa. ^a a v6 Mkate wa Pamaso unali mitanda khumi ndi iwiri ya mkate yosungidwa m'malo oyera pamaso pa Atate wathu, ndipo inkasinthidwa sabata ndi sabata; nthawi zambiri ansembe okha ndiwo ankaloledwa kuwudya.

⁷Tsiku limenelo panali mmodzi wa antchito a Sauli, wotsekedwa pamaso pa Atate wathu: Doegi Mwedomu, mkulu wa abusa a Sauli.

⁸Davide anafunsa Ahimeleki, nati, “Kodi muli ndi mkondo kapena lupanga pano? Sindinabwere ndi lupanga langa kapena zida zanga, chifukwa lamulo la mfumu linali lofulumira.”

⁹Wansembe anati, “Lupanga la Goliati Mfilisti, Goliati amene unamupha ku Chigwa cha Ela, lili pano, lokutidwa ndi nsalu kuseri kwa efodi. Litenge ngati ukufuna, pakuti palibe lina pano.” Davide anati, “Palibe lina loliyerekeza nalo; ndipatse.”

¹²Davide anasunga mau awa mu mtima mwake, naopa kwambiri Akisi mfumu ya Gati. ¹³Chotero anasintha khalidwe lake pamaso pawo, nachita ngati wamisala pamaso pawo; anapalapala pa zitseko za chipata, nalola malovu ake kuyenderera patsibweya pake. ¹⁴Akisi anati kwa antchito ake, “Taonani, mukuona kuti munthuyu ndi wamisala. Chifukwa chiyani mwandibweretsera iye? ¹⁵Kodi ndasowa anthu amisala, kuti mwandibweretsera uyu kudzandipenyetsa? Kodi iye adzalowe m'nyumba mwanga?”
