Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together and mourned for him, and buried him at his house at Ramah. Then David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
There was a man in Maon whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and he was shearing his sheep 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,
Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail. This woman was intelligent and had a beautiful face; but the man was surly and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb.
4 amola Da: ibidi da wadela: i hafoga: i soge ganodini esalu, amo hou nabi.
David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
5 Amaiba: le, e da ayeligi dunu nabuane amo Na: iba: lema hahawane sia: sia: ma: ne, Gamele moilaiga asunasi.
David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and 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.
Tell him, ‘Long life to you! Peace be to you! Peace be to your house! Peace be to all that you have!
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 have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds have now been with us, and we didn’t harm them. Nothing was missing from them all the 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. Therefore let the young men find favour in your eyes, for we come on a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand 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 came, they spoke to Nabal all those words in the name of David, and 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!
Nabal answered David’s servants and said, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.
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!”
Shall I then take my bread, my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who I don’t know where they come from?”
12 Da: ibidi ea dunu da ema buhagili, Na: iba: le ea sia: i ema adodole i.
So David’s young men turned on their way and went back, and came and told 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.
David said to his men, “Every man put on his sword!” Every man put on his sword. David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David, and two hundred stayed by the baggage.
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.
But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master; and he insulted 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.
But the men were very good to us, and we were not harmed, and we didn’t miss anything as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields.
16 Ninia da sibi wa: i ouligisa esalea, ilia da yoga amola gasia, ninima noga: le gaga: su.
They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
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 therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master and against all his house, for he is such a worthless fellow that one can’t 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 containers of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five seahs of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid 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.
She said to her young men, “Go on before me. Behold, I am coming after you.” But she didn’t 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 she rode on her donkey, and came down hidden by the mountain, behold, David and his men came down towards 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 said, “Surely in vain I have kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. He has returned me evil for good.
22 Na da hame hadigia amo dunu huluane hame fane lelegesea, Hina Gode da na fane legemu da defea.”
God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”
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 hurried and got off her donkey, and fell before David on her face and bowed herself to the ground.
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, “On me, my lord, on me be the blame! Please let your servant speak in your ears. 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.
Please don’t let my lord pay attention to this worthless fellow, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, didn’t 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 therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, since the LORD has withheld you from blood guiltiness and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies and those who seek evil to my lord be as Nabal.
27 Dafawane hina! Na dima udigili imunusa: gaguli misi goe lale, dia dunuma ima.
Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.
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 the trespass of your servant. For the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the LORD’s battles. Evil will not be found in you all your days.
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.
Though men may rise up to pursue you and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord will be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies as from a sling’s pocket.
30 Amola Hina Gode da dima amo noga: i hou huluane E ilegei amo hamone dagosea, amola di Isala: ili hina bagade hamoi dagosea,
It will come to pass, when the LORD has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you prince 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.”
that this shall be no grief to you, nor offence of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When the LORD has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant.”
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.
David said to Abigail, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me!
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 discretion, and blessed are you, who have kept me today from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with 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.”
For indeed, as the LORD the God of Israel lives, who has withheld me from harming you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn’t have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”
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.”
So David received from her hand that which she had brought him. Then he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. Behold, I have listened to your voice and have 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.
Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house like the feast of a king. Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing until the 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 the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
38 Eso nabuyane baligili, Hina Gode da Na: iba: le fane, e bogoi.
About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal, so that he died.
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.
When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed is the LORD, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil. The LORD has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.” David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to himself as wife.
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 David’s servants had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, to take you to him as 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 and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, “Behold, your servant is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”
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.
Abigail hurriedly arose and rode on a donkey with her five maids who followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, 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 also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they both became 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.
Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
