1 Sa:miuele 25
1 Sa: miuele da bogoi. Amola Isala: ili fi dunu huluane da ema asigiba: le idigimusa: gilisi. Ilia da moi hi lai (La: ima) amogai e uli dogone sali. Amolalu, Da: ibidi da wadela: i hafoga: i soge Ba: ila: ne amoga asi.
When Samuel died, all Israel gathered to mourn for him; and they buried him at his home in Ramah. Then David set out and went down to the Wilderness of Paran.
Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel. He was a very wealthy man with a thousand goats and three thousand sheep, which he was shearing in Carmel.
3 Amogawi, Ga: ilebe fi dunu ea dio amo Na: iba: le da Ma: ione moilaiga esalebe ba: i. E da Gamele moilai gadenene dialebe soge gagui. E da bagade gagui dunu. E da sibi 3,000 agoane amola goudi 1,000 agoane gagui galu. Ea uda da isisima: goi ba: i amola bagade dawa: su ba: i. Be Na: iba: le da uasu amola hedolo mi hanasu dunu agoane ba: i. Na: iba: le da Gamele amoga ea sibi hinabo dadamunanebe ba: i,
His name was Nabal, and his wife’s name was Abigail. She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband, a Calebite, was harsh and evil in his dealings.
4 amola Da: ibidi da wadela: i hafoga: i soge ganodini esalu, amo hou nabi.
While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.
5 Amaiba: le, e da ayeligi dunu nabuane amo Na: iba: lema hahawane sia: sia: ma: ne, Gamele moilaiga asunasi.
So David sent ten young men and instructed them, “Go up to Nabal at Carmel. Greet him in my name
6 E da ili Na: iba: lema amane sia: ma: ne sia: i, “Sama! Da: ibidi da dima, dia sosogo amola dili huluane dilima ea asigi sia: sia: sisa.
and say to him, ‘Long life to you, and peace to you and your house and to all that belongs to you.
7 E da nabi amo di da dia sibi ilia hinabo dadamusa: esala. Ea hanai da dia sibi ouligisu da nini esala amola ninia da ilima se hame iasu, di da amo dawa: mu e da hanai. Ilia da Gamele amogai esaloba, ilia liligi afae wamolai hame ba: i.
Now I hear that it is time for shearing. When your shepherds were with us, we did not harass them, and nothing of theirs was missing the whole time they were in Carmel.
8 Di da dia hawa: hamosu dunu ilima adole ba: sea, ilia da amo defele dima olelemu. Ninia da lolo nabe esoga dima misi wea. Di da nini aowama: ne, Da: ibidi da dima edegesa. Nini amola dia na: iyado Da: ibidi fidima: ne, dia imunu amo ninima ima.”
Ask your young men, and they will tell you. So let my young men find favor with you, for we have come on the day of a feast. Please give whatever you can afford to your servants and to your son David.’”
9 Da: ibidi ea dunu da Da: ibidi ea sia: amo Na: iba: lema olelelalu, ouesalu.
When David’s young men arrived, they relayed all these words to Nabal on behalf of David. Then they waited.
10 Na: iba: le da aligili, amalu amane adole i, “Da: ibidi da nowala: ? Na da ea dio hamedafa nabi. We galu ninia soge da hobeale asi udigili hawa: hamosu dunu amoga nabai gala!
But Nabal asked them, “Who is David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants these days are breaking away from their masters.
11 Na da na agi gobei, hano amola ohe na da na sibi hinabo dadamusu dunugili ima: ne fanelegei, amo lale, dunu amo da habodili misi na hame dawa: , amogili hamedafa imunu!”
Why should I take my bread and water and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give them to these men whose origin I do not know?”
12 Da: ibidi ea dunu da ema buhagili, Na: iba: le ea sia: i ema adodole i.
So David’s men turned around and went back, and they relayed to him all these words.
13 Da: ibidi da ea dunuma amane sia: i, “Dilia! Gegesu gobihei salawane idinigima!” Amalalu, ilia da amane hamoi. Da: ibidi amola da ea gegesu gobihei idiniginisi. E amola ea dunu 400 agoane da Na: iba: le e doagala: musa: asi. Ea dunu eno 200 agoane da ilia liligi ouligima: ne, Ba: ila: ne sogega ouesalu.
And David said to his men, “Strap on your swords!” So David and all his men put on their swords, and about four hundred men followed David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies.
14 Na: iba: le ea hawa: hamosu dunu afae da Na: iba: le idua A: biga: ilema amane sia: i, “Di da nabibala: ? Da: ibidi da hafoga: i sogega asigi sia: ninia hina ema sia: si. Be e da bu Da: ibidima ougili sisa: noi.
Meanwhile, one of Nabal’s young men informed Nabal’s wife Abigail, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, but he scolded them.
15 Be Da: ibidi amola ea dunu da ninima obenane hamoi. Ilia da ninima se hame iasu. Amola ninia da ili amola sogega gilisili esalea, ninia da liligi afae wamolai hamedafa ba: i.
Yet these men were very good to us. When we were in the field, we were not harassed, and nothing of ours went missing the whole time we lived among them.
16 Ninia da sibi wa: i ouligisa esalea, ilia da yoga amola gasia, ninima noga: le gaga: su.
They were a wall around us, both day and night, the whole time we were herding our sheep near them.
17 Amo hou noga: le dawa: lalu, dia hamomu ilegema. Ea hamobeba: le, ninia hina amola ea sosogo huluane da se bagade nabimu agoai galebe. E da gasa fi bagade hamobeba: le, e da dunu eno ilia sia: hamedafa naba.”
Now consider carefully what you must do, because disaster looms over our master and all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that nobody can speak to him!”
18 A: biga: ile da hedolowane agi ga: gi 200 amola bulamagau gadofoga hamoi daba waini hano nabai aduna, sibi houi biyale, gagoma egegei17 gilogala: me, waini fage gagabu fofogai 100 agoane amola figi ifa fage fofogai ga: gi 200 agoane amo lale, dougi da: iya lidili lelegesa lai.
Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five butchered sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs. She loaded them on donkeys
19 Amalalu, e da ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia bisili masa! Na da fa: no bobogemu.” Be e da egoa ema hamedafa sia: i.
and said to her young men, “Go ahead of me. I will be right behind you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
20 E da dougi da: iya fila heda: le, agolo goulole aliagaloba, hedolowane Da: ibidi amola ea dunu migadenene manebe ba: i.
As Abigail came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine, she saw David and his men coming down toward her, and she met them.
21 Da: ibidi amane dadawa: lu, “Na da abuliba: le amo dunu ea liligi hafoga: i sogega ouligilalula: ? E da liligi afae wamolai hamedafa ba: i. Be na da e fidibiba: le, e da nama wadela: i bidi dabe iaha.
Now David had just finished saying, “In vain I have protected all that belonged to this man in the wilderness. Nothing that belongs to him has gone missing, yet he has paid me back evil for good.
22 Na da hame hadigia amo dunu huluane hame fane lelegesea, Hina Gode da na fane legemu da defea.”
May God punish David, and ever so severely, if I let one of Nabal’s men survive until morning.”
23 A: biga: ile da Da: ibidi ba: beba: le, hedolowane dougi da: iya esalu alia gudui amalu hi gobele Da: ibidi ea emo bega: osoba gala: la sa: ili,
When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off the donkey, fell facedown, and bowed before him.
24 amola ema amane sia: i, “Dafawane hina! Na sia: nabima! Na da amo da: i diosu dabe lala!
She fell at his feet and said, “My lord, may the blame be on me alone, but please let your servant speak to you; hear the words of your servant.
25 Na: iba: le da noga: i hame dunu! Ea sia: mae nabima! Dafawane! E da ea dio dawa: loma: ne defele gagaoui dunu esala! Hina! Dia hawa: hamosu dunu da doaga: loba, na da amogawi hame galu.
My lord should pay no attention to this scoundrel Nabal, for he lives up to his name: His name means Fool, and folly accompanies him. I, your servant, did not see my lord’s young men whom you sent.
26 Dia ha lai dunuma dabele fane legemu logo, Hina Gode E da hedofai. Amola wali na da Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le amane sia: sa, dia ha lai amola dunu huluane da dima se imunusa: dawa: lala, amo da Na: iba: le ea se iasu lamu defele, se iasu ba: mu.
Now, my lord, as surely as the LORD lives and you yourself live, the LORD has held you back from coming to bloodshed and avenging yourself with your own hand. May your enemies and those who seek harm for my lord be like Nabal.
27 Dafawane hina! Na dima udigili imunusa: gaguli misi goe lale, dia dunuma ima.
Now let this gift your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow you.
28 Dafawane hina! Na da wadela: i hou hamoi galea, amo gogolema: ne olofoma. Hina Gode da di amola digaga fi hina bagade hamomu. Bai di Ea gegesu hamonana. Amola di da esalea, wadela: i hou hamedafa hamomu.
Please forgive your servant’s offense, for the LORD will surely make a lasting dynasty for my lord, because he fights the LORD’s battles. May no evil be found in you as long as you live.
29 Nowa da dima doagala: le, fane legemusa: dawa: sea, dia Hina Gode da dunu da gobolo gene ouligibi defele, di gaga: mu. Be dia ha lai dunu amo Hina Gode da dunu da ifa badaga ga: muga: dadiga gele fodole gala: be defele, galagamu.
And should someone pursue you and seek your life, then the life of my lord will be bound securely by the LORD your God in the bundle of the living. But He shall fling away the lives of your enemies like stones from a sling.
30 Amola Hina Gode da dima amo noga: i hou huluane E ilegei amo hamone dagosea, amola di Isala: ili hina bagade hamoi dagosea,
When the LORD has done for my lord all the good He promised, and when He has appointed you ruler over Israel,
31 amola di da dia hamobeba: le, dia asigi dawa: su ganodini se hame nabimu. Bai di da dabele dunu hame fai amola udigili hame fai. Amola Hina Gode da dima hahawane dogolegele hou hamoi dagosea, dafawane na amola mae gogolema.”
then my lord will have no remorse or guilt of conscience over needless bloodshed and revenge. And when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, may you remember your maidservant.”
32 Da: ibidi da A: biga: ilema amane sia: i, “Hina Godema nodoma! Isala: ili Gode da wali eso di nama asunasiba: le, Ema nodomu da defea.
Then David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me this day!
33 Di da wali eso noga: le dawa: beba: le, noga: le hamoi. Na da wadela: i medole legesu hou amola dabe medole legesu hou dawa: i galu. Be di da amo logo hedofaiba: le, na Godema nodosa.
Blessed is your discernment, and blessed are you, because today you kept me from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.
34 Na dima se imunusa: dawa: i. Be Hina Gode da amo logo hedofai. Be na Esalebe Isala: ili Gode amo Ea Dioba: le amane dafawane sia: sa. Di da hedolowane nama doaga: musa: hame misi ganiaba, hahabe galu Na: iba: le ea dunu huluane da bogogia: i dagoi ba: la: loba.”
Otherwise, as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has restrained me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, then surely no male belonging to Nabal would have been left alive by morning light.”
35 Amalalu, Da: ibidi da A: biga: ile ea gaguli misi liligi amo lai. E ema amane sia: i, “Dina: diasuga buhagima. Amola mae dawa: ma! Na dia hanai defele hamomu.”
Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought him, and he said to her, “Go home in peace. See, I have heeded your voice and granted your request.”
36 A: biga: ile da Na: iba: lema buhagi. E da lolo nabe amo hina bagade ea lolo nabe defele nanebe ba: i. E da feloai amola hahawane galu. Amaiba: le, A:biga: ile e da ea hamoi ema mae adole, golale hahabe fawane adoi.
When Abigail returned to Nabal, there he was in the house, holding a feast fit for a king, in high spirits and very drunk. So she told him nothing until morning light.
37 Amalalu, e da feloai gumibiba: le, A:biga: ile e da liligi huluane ema adodole i. Na: iba: le da bagade olole, da: i hulu gadoi dagoi ba: i.
In the morning when Nabal was sober, his wife told him about these events, and his heart failed within him and he became like a stone.
38 Eso nabuyane baligili, Hina Gode da Na: iba: le fane, e bogoi.
About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal dead.
39 Da: ibidi da Na: iba: le bogoi nababeba: le, amane sia: i, “Hina Godema nodosa! Na: iba: le da nama sisa: nobeba: le, Hina Gode da ema dabe i. Amola, na Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu, na da wadela: le mae hamoma: ne E da gaga: i. Hina Gode da Na: iba: le hina: wadela: i houga se iasi.” Amalalu, Da: ibidi da A: biga: ile lama: ne sia: sia: si.
On hearing that Nabal was dead, David said, “Blessed be the LORD, who has upheld my cause against the reproach of Nabal and has restrained His servant from evil. For the LORD has brought the wickedness of Nabal down upon his own head.” Then David sent word to Abigail, asking for her in marriage.
40 Da: ibidi ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilia da Gamele amoga asili, A:biga: ilema amane sia: i, “Da: ibidi da di lamu sia: beba: le, e da ninia di lala masa: ne asunasi.”
When his servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they said, “David has sent us to take you as his wife.”
41 A: biga: ile da osoboa beguduli, amane sia: i, “Na da ea hawa: hamosu uda. Na da ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilia emo dodofemusa: momageiwane esala.”
She arose, then bowed facedown and said, “Here is your maidservant, ready to serve and to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.”
42 E da hedolo wa: legadole, ea dougi da: iya fila heda: i. E amola ea hawa: hamosu a: fini biyale gala, da Da: ibidi ea hawa: hamosu dunu ili bisili asili, amola Da: ibidi ema fi.
So Abigail hurried and got on a donkey, and attended by five of her maidens, she followed David’s messengers and became his wife.
43 Da: ibidi da musa: Ahinoua: me (Yeseliele uda) amo lai galu, amola waha da A: biga: ile amowane ea uda hamoi.
David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel. So she and Abigail were both his wives.
44 Amabe galuwane, Solo da ea uda mano Ma: iga: le amo da Da: ibidi igili i galobawane, bu Ba: ladai (Ga: lime moilai dunu La: ise, amo egefe) amogili i galu.
But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Palti son of Laish, who was from Gallim.
