1 Samuel tah duek coeng. Te dongah Israel pum te tingtun uh tih anih te a rhaengsae uh. Te phoeiah Ramah kah amah im ah a up uh. Te vaengah David te thoo tih Paran khosoek la suntla.

And he died Samuel and they gathered together all Israel and they mourned for him and they buried him at house his in Ramah and he arose David and he went down to [the] wilderness of Paran.

2 Te vaengah Maon ah hlang pakhat om tih Karmel ah a bibi om. Tekah hlang tah bahoeng boei tih a taengah tu thawng thum neh maae thawngkhat a khueh. Te dongah Karmel kah a tu te a mul vok ham a om pah.

And a man [was] in Maon and business his [was] in Carmel and the man [was] great very and [belonged] to him sheep three thousand and one thousand goats and it was when sheared sheep his in Carmel.

3 Tekah hlang ming tah Nabal tih, a yuu ming tah Abigal ni. Lungmingnah then, neh sakthen suisak nu la om dae a va tah khoboe thae neh mangkhak la om. Anih te a lungbuei tah Kaleb la om.

And [the] name of the man [was] Nabal and [the] name of wife his [was] Abigail and the woman [was] good of insight and beautiful of appearance and the man [was] hard and evil of deeds and he ([was] a Calebite. *Q(K)*)

4 Nabal loh a tu a vok te David loh khosoek ah a yaak coeng.

And he heard David in the wilderness that [was] shearing Nabal sheep his.

5 Te dongah David loh cadong hlangrha a tueih. Te vaengah cadong rhoek te David loh, “Karmel la cet uh lamtah Nabal te paan, te phoeiah anih te rhoepnah ham kai ming neh voek uh.

And he sent David ten young men and he said David to the young men go up Carmel towards and you will go to Nabal and you will ask of him in name my to welfare.

6 Te vaengah 'Namah te hingnah neh sading la, na imkhui khaw sading la, na taengkah boeih te khaw sading la.

And you will say thus to the living [one] and you peace and house your peace and all that [belongs] to you peace.

7 Namah ham a dawn coeng tih namah ham a vok uh te ka yaak coeng. Kaimih taengah khaw om uh coeng. Amih loh hmaithae sak pawt tih amih te pakhat khaw a ha moenih. Amih te Karmel ah khohnin yungah om uh.

And now I have heard that shearers [belong] to you now the shepherds who [belong] to you they have been with us not we have humiliated them and not it has been missing to them anything all [the] days of being they in Carmel.

8 Na ca rhoek te dawt lamtah namah taengah a thui uh bitni. Te dongah khohnin then dongah ha mop lamtah na mik dongkah na mikdaithen te camoe rhoek loh hmu van saeh. Na kut loh a loh te tah na sal rhoek taengah khaw, na capa taengah, David taengah khaw bet pae mai saw,'ti nah,” a ti nah.

Ask own young men your so they may tell to you and let them find the young men favor in view your for on a day good we have come give! please [that] which it will find hand your to servants your and to son your to David.

9 Te dongah David kah camoe rhoek loh a pha uh neh te rhoek kah olka boeih te David ming neh Nabal taengah a thui uh tih a khueh uh.

And they went [the] young men of David and they spoke to Nabal according to all the words these in [the] name of David and they rested.

10 Tedae Nabal loh David kah sal rhoek te a doo tih, “David te nim? Jesse capa te nim? Tihnin ah sal a pungtai pah hatah a boei rhoek kah mikhmuh ah hlang a vi.

And he answered Nabal [the] servants of David and he said who? [is] David and who? [is] [the] son of Jesse this day they are many servants who break away each one from before master his.

11 Ka buh neh ka tui khaw, ka tu aka vo rhoek ham ka ngawn pah ka maeh te ka loh vetih ming pawt ming tung hlang rhoek te ka paek aya? Amih te me lamkah nim te?” a ti nah.

And will I take bread my and water my and slaughter my which I have slaughtered for shearers my and will I give [them] to men who not I know where? from this [are] they.

12 Te dongah David kah camoe rhoek tah a longpuei la ki buung uh tih mael uh. A pha uh neh te rhoek kah olka boeih te David taengla puen uh.

And they turned round [the] young men of David to way their and they returned and they came and they told to him according to all the words these.

13 Te dongah David loh a hlang rhoek te, “Hlang khat rhip loh a cunghang te kaelh uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah hlang loh a cunghang te rhip a kaelh uh tih David khaw a cunghang te a kaelh van. Te phoeiah David hnukah hlang ya li tluk loh cet uh tih yakhat te hnopai neh om uh.

And he said David to men his gird on - everyone sword his and they girded on everyone sword his and he girded on also David sword his and they went up - after David about four hundred man and two hundred they remained with the baggage.

14 Te vaengah camoe rhoek lamkah camoe pakhat loh Nabal yuu Abigal taengah puen tih, “Mamih kah boeipa te yoethen sak ham khosoek lamkah David loh puencawn han tueih hatah amih te tarha a cuk thil.

And to Abigail [the] wife of Nabal he told a young man one from the young men saying there! he sent David messengers - from the wilderness to bless master our and he shouted at them.

15 Tekah hlang rhoek tah kaimih taengah bahoeng then uh. Khohmuen kah kaimih taengah pongpa uh tih a om tue khuiah hmaithae a om kolla pakhat pataeng ka talae uh pawh.

And the men [were] good to us very and not we were humiliated and not we missed anything all [the] days [which] we went about with them when were we in the field.

16 Khoyin neh khothaih ah khaw kaimih taengah vongtung la om uh. Kaimih neh a om tue khuiah tah amih taengah boiva a luem sakuh.

A wall they were with us both night as well as by day all [the] days of being we with them shepherding the flock.

17 Te dongah ming lamtah hmuh van lah. Mamih kah boeipa te boethae neh khah hamla balae na saii thai. Anih voek ham khaw amah ni a imkhui pum ah muen ca rhoe,” a ti nah.

And now know and see what? will you do for it has been determined evil against master our and on all household his and he [is] a son of worthlessness from speaking to him.

18 Te dongah Abigal tah koe hlah uh tih vaidam hluem yakhat, misur khap nit, tu a sah la a sah tangtae pum nga, vairhum sum nga, misur rhae yakhat, thaidae yakhat a loh tih laak dongah a tloeng pah.

And she made haste (Abigail *Q(k)*) and she took two hundred bread[s] and two jars of wine and five sheep (prepared *Q(k)*) and five seahs of roasted grain and a hundred bunches of raisins and two hundred fig cakes and she put [them] on the donkeys.

19 Te phoeiah a tueihyoeih rhoek te, “Kai hmai ah ana lamhma uh lamtah nangmih hnukah ka lo eh?,” a ti nah. Tedae a va Nabal taengah thui pah pawh.

And she said to servants her pass on before me here I after you [will be] coming and to husband her Nabal not she told.

20 Amah te laak dongah ngol tih tlang hlaep la suntla. Anih doe ham te David neh a hlang rhoek asuntlak vaengah amih te ana doe.

And it was she - [was] riding on the donkey and [was] going down in [the] cover of the mountain and there! David and men his [were] going down to meet her and she met them.

21 Te vaengah David loh, “Khosoek khuikah aka om boeih he a hong lamni ka hung coeng. Anih hut boeih tah pakhat khaw talae van pawt dae ta. Te lalah kai taengah a then yueng la a thae neh n'thuung.

And David he had said surely to deception I have guarded all that [belongs] to this [man] in the wilderness and not it has been missing any of all that [belongs] to him anything and he has returned to me evil in place of good.

22 David kah thunkha rhoek te Pathen loh saii saeh. Mincang duela ka sueng atah anih hut boeih te pangbueng yun thil saeh lamtah khoep van saeh,” a ti.

Thus may he do God to [the] enemies David and thus may he add if I will leave any of all that [belongs] to him until the morning [one who] urinates on a wall.

23 Abigal loh David te a hmuh vaengah laak dong lamloh koe rhum. David hmai ah baluk tih a hmai longah diklai la bakop.

And she saw Abigail David and she made haste and she came down from on the donkey and she fell to [the] face of David on face her and she bowed down [the] ground.

24 A kho taengah a yalh pah tih, “Ka boeipa, thaesainah khaw kai soah om tih na salnu loh na hna ah thui dae saeh, na salnu kah olka he hnatun dae.

And she fell at feet his and she said [be] on me I O lord my the iniquity and let her speak please maidservant your in ears your and hear [the] words of maidservant your.

25 A ming bangla hlang muen Nabal te ka boeipa loh a lungbuei ah dueh boel mai saeh. Anih te a ming khaw Nabal van tih a taengah boethae halang ni a om. Tedae ka boeipa kah camoe rhoek nan tueih te na salnu kai loh ka hmuh moenih.

26 BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah ka boeipa nang kah hingnah hinglu khaw om. Thii long khui lamkah te BOEIPA loh nang n'hloh tih namah ham ni na kut khaw a khang. Te dongah na thunkha rhoek neh ka boeipa taengah thae aka tlap rhoek tah Nabal bangla om uh pawn saeh.

And now O lord my [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your that he has restrained you Yahweh from coming in blood and [from] delivering hand your you and now may they be like Nabal enemies your and those [who] seek against lord my evil.

27 Ka boeipa taengah na imom loh hang khuen yoethennah he ka boeipa kho kung ah aka bat camoe rhoek te pae mai saeh.

And now the blessing this which he has brought maidservant your to lord my and it will be given to the young men who go about at [the] feet of lord my.

28 Na salnu kah boekoeknah te phuei mai. Ka boeipa ham te BOEIPA loh a saii a saii bitni. Ka boeipa kah a vathoh tah BOEIPA kah caemtloek dongah a imkhui khaw cak. Namah tue khuiah tah na pum dongah boethae hmu boel saeh.

Forgive please to [the] transgression of maidservant your for certainly he will make Yahweh for lord my a house enduring for [the] battles of Yahweh lord my [is] fighting and evil not it will be found in you from days your.

29 Nang hloem ham neh na hinglu mae hamla hlang te thoo mai ni. Tedae ka boeipa kah hinglu tah BOEIPA na Pathen loh hingnah hnocun dongah ben la om bitni. Na thunkha rhoek kah a hinglu te tah kutpha khui kah payai bangla a dong ni.

And he has arisen a man to pursue you and to seek life your and it will be [the] life of lord my bound up - in [the] bundle of the living with Yahweh God your and [the] life of enemies your he will sling out it in [the] midst of [the] hollow of sling.

30 Nang ham hnothen te boeih a thui tih Israel soah rhaengsang la nang ng'uen te BOEIPA loh a saii vaengah tah ka boeipa hamla thoeng bitni.

And it will be that he will do Yahweh to lord my according to all that he has spoken the good on you and he will appoint you to ruler over Israel.

31 Ka boeipa lungbuei kah longkoek hmuitoel khaw, lunglilungla la thii a long sak tih, ka boeipa loh a rhun te khaw nang taengah om boel saeh. Tedae ka boeipa te BOEIPA loh khophoeng m'pha vaengah na salnu he thoelh van ne,” a ti nah.

And not it will become this - for you staggering and stumbling of heart for lord my and pouring out of blood without cause and to deliver lord my himself and he will do good Yahweh to lord my and you will remember maidservant your.

32 David loh Abigal te, “Ti hnin ah kai doe hamla nang aka tueih Israel Pathen BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai saeh.

And he said David to Abigail [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of Israel who he has sent you the day this to meet me.

33 Kai lamkah loh thii long sak ham neh ka kut dongkah tawnloh ham khaw ti hnin ah kai nan hloh coeng dongah na omih khaw a yoethen tih namah na yoethen pai.

And [be] blessed discernment your and [be] blessed you who you have restrained me the day this from coming in blood and [from] delivering hand my me.

34 Israel Pathen BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah amah long ni nang kah thaehuet khui lamloh kai n'hloh. Kai doe ham te a loe loe la na pawk pawt koinih, mincang khosae duela pangbueng aka yun thil Nabal te sueng mahpawh,” a ti nah.

And but [by] [the] life of Yahweh [the] God of Israel who he has restrained me from doing harm to you if - if not you had made haste (and you had come *Q(k)*) to meet me that except he has been left to Nabal until [the] light of the morning [one who] urinates on a wall.

35 Te dongah a taengla a kut dongah a khuen pah te David loh a loh tih, “Na im ah ngaimong la cet laeh. Na ol te ka yaak tih na mikhmuh ah kam paek te solah,” a ti nah.

And he took David from hand her [that] which she had brought to him and to her he said go up to peace to house your see I have listened to voice your and I have lifted up face your.

36 Nabal taengla Abigal a pha vaengah a im kah buhkoknah tah manghai kah buhkoknah bangla tarha ana om pah. Te vaengah Nabal kah lungbuei tah a khuiah umya coeng tih amah khaw muep rhui coeng. Te dongah a yit a len akhaw mincang khosae duela anih taengah ol thui pah pawh.

37 Mincang a pha vaengah Nabal kah misurtui khaw boeih. Te vaengah a yuu loh a taengah olka te a puen pah hatah a lungbuei te a khui ah a duek pah sut tih amah te lungto bangla sut ngol.

And it was in the morning when had gone out the wine from Nabal and she told to him wife his the things these and it died heart his in inward part[s] his and he he became stone.

38 Te dongah hnin rha tluk a om phoeiah Nabal te BOEIPA loh a boh tih duek.

And it was about [the] ten the days and he struck Yahweh Nabal and he died.

39 Nabal a duek te David loh a yaak van vaengah, “Nabal kut lamkah kokhahnah ka tuituknah aka rhoe BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai saeh. A sal te yoethae lamloh a hoep a tlang. Nabal kah boethae te khaw, BOEIPA loh Nabla mah kah lu soah a thuung coeng,” a ti. Te phoeiah David loh ol a tah tih Abigal te amah yuu la loh ham a dawt.

And he heard David that he had died Nabal and he said [be] blessed Yahweh who he has conducted [the] case of disgrace my from [the] hand of Nabal and servant his he has restrained from evil and [the] evil of Nabal he has turned back Yahweh on own head his and he sent David and he spoke with Abigail to take her for himself to a wife.

40 Te dongah David kah sal rhoek loh Karmel kah Abigal te a paan uh tih amah taengah a thui uh vaengah, “David loh nang te amah yuu la loh ham nang taengla kaimih n'tueih coeng,” a ti na uh.
