< 1 Samuel 25 >

1 And death came to Samuel; and all Israel came together, weeping for him, and put his body in its resting-place in his house at Ramah. Then David went down to the waste land of Maon.
Nihomake t’i Samoele; le hene nifanontoñe ama’e t’Isra­ele nandala aze vaho nalenteke an-kiboho’e e Ramà ao. Niongak’ amy zao t’i Davide nizotso mb’am-patrambei’ i Parane mb’eo.
2 Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel; he was a great man and had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats: and he was cutting the wool of his sheep in Carmel.
Teo t’indaty e Moane ao, e Karmele añe ty vara’e; mpañaleale indatiy; telo arivo ty añondri’e naho arivo ty ose’e; ie nañitsike o añondri’eo e Karmele añe henane zay.
3 Now this man was named Nabal, and his wife's name was Abigail: she was a woman of good sense and pleasing looks: but the man was cruel and evil in his ways; he was of the family of Caleb.
I Nabale ty tahina’ indatiy naho Abigàle ty tahinan-tañan­jomba’e. Nahilala naho soa vintañe i rakembay, fe nigañe indatiy, lo-tsereke iaby ze sata’e; tarira’ i Kalibò.
4 And David had word in the waste land that Nabal was cutting the wool of his sheep.
Jinanji’ i Davide am-patrambey añe te nañitsike o añondri’eo t’i Nabale,
5 And David sent ten young men, and said to them, Go up to Carmel and go to Nabal, and say kind words to him in my name;
le nampihitrik’ ajalahy folo mb’eo t’i Davide, naho hoe ty namantoha’ i Davide i ajalahy rey: Mionjona mb’e Karmele mb’ amy Nabale mb’eo vaho añontaneo ami’ty añarako.
6 And say this to my brother, May all be well for you: peace be to you and your house and all you have.
Le isaontsio ty hoe, Maha­veloñe, fañanintsiñe ama’o, fierañerañañe ami’ty anjomba’o naho himo­neñe soa iaby o vara’oo.
7 I have had word that you have wool-cutters: now the keepers of your sheep have been with us, and we have done them no evil, and taken nothing of theirs while they were in Carmel.
Tsinanoko aniany t’ie mañitsike. Tama’ay o mpiara’oo le tsy jinoi’ay, Leo raha raike tsy nipitsok’ am’ iereo amo hene andro naha te Karmele ao anay.
8 If your young men are questioned they will say the same thing. So now, let my young men have grace in your eyes, for we are come at a good time; please give anything you may have by you to your servants and to your son David.
Añontaneo o mpitoro’oo hitaliliy azo, Aa ehe te hahaoniñ’ ìsok’ am-pihaino’o o ajalahi’oo, kanao pok’eo añ’andro soa; ehe anoloro o mpitoro’oo naho amy Davide ana’oy ze miheo am-pità’o.
9 And when David's young men came, they said all this to Nabal, in David's name, and said nothing more.
Aa ie nivo­trak’ eo i mpitoro’ i Davide rey, le linaño’ iareo amy Nabale i entañe zay ami’ ty tahina’ i Davide, ie nagado’ iareo
10 And Nabal gave them his answer and said, Who is David? who is the son of Jesse? there are a number of servants in these days running away from their masters.
le hoe ty natoi’ i Nabale amo mpitoro’ i Davideo, Ia ze o Davide zao? Ia ze o ana’ Iisay zao? Tsiefa ty mpitoroñe mipitsok’ amo talè’eo henaneo,
11 Am I to take my bread and my wine and the meat I have got ready for my wool-cutters and give it to men coming from I have no idea where?
aa vaho hangalàko hao o mofokoo, o ranokoo naho i hena vinonoko ho amo pañitsikooy vaho hatoloko ama’ ondaty tsy fohiñe te hirik’ aia?
12 So David's young men, turning away, went back and gave him an account of everything he had said.
Aa le nitolike o ajalahi’ i Davideo, nimpoly vaho nitalilia’e iaby i saontsi’ey.
13 And David said to his men, Put on your swords, every one of you. And every man put on his sword; and David did the same; and about four hundred men went up with David, and two hundred kept watch over their goods.
Le hoe t’i Davide am’ ondati’eo: Songa mampidiàña fibara; nampidiañe fibara ka t’i Davide; le va’e ondaty efa-jato ty nionjoñe mb’eo ampañorihañe i Davide vaho nidok’ amo vara’eo ty roan-jato.
14 But one of the young men said to Nabal's wife Abigail, David sent men from the waste land to say kind words to our master, and he gave them a rough answer.
Ie amy zao, nitaroñ’ amy Abigale, tañanjomba’ i Nabale, ty ajalahy, ty hoe: Inao, nampihitrike boak’ am-patrambey añe hañontàne amy talè’aiy t’i Davide; f’ie nitabohazake an-keloke.
15 But these men have been very good to us; they did us no wrong and nothing of ours was touched while we were with them in the fields:
Toe nañasoa anay ondatio, tsy nijoie’e vaho ndra kede tsy nipok’ ama’ay sikal’ amy niharoa’ay am’ iareoy; izahay tan-kivok’ ao,
16 But day and night they were like a wall round us while we were with them, looking after the sheep.
le iereo ty nikijoli’ay handro an-kaleñe amo hene andro nitraofa’ay, izahay niarak’ o añondrio.
17 So now, give thought to what you are going to do; for evil is in store for our master and all his house: for he is such a good-for-nothing person that it is not possible to say anything to him.
Aa le mahaoniña naho tsakoreo ty hanoe’o; fa hankàñe ty ho toly aman-talè’ay naho añ’anjomba’e, amy t’ie ana’ i Beliale vaho leo raike tsy mahafisaontsy ama’e.
18 Then Abigail quickly took two hundred cakes of bread and two skins full of wine and five sheep ready for cooking and five measures of dry grain and a hundred parcels of dry grapes and two hundred cakes of figs, and put them on asses.
Nihepakepak’ amy zao ty Abigale, nandrambe mofo roan-jato naho zonjon-divay roe, naho ty henan’ añondry lime hinalankañe, naho famaran-tonon-tsako lime naho angarozam-baloboke maike zato naho garatòn-tsakoa maike roan-jato vaho najò’e am-borìke’e.
19 And she said to her young men, Go on in front of me and I will come after you. But she said nothing to her husband Nabal.
Le hoe re amo ajalahi’eo: Akia, miaoloa mb’eo, le horiheko, f’ie tsy nitalily amy Nabale vali’e.
20 Now while she was going down under cover of the mountain on her ass, David and his men came down against her, and suddenly she came face to face with them.
Ie amy zao niningi-borìke, nizotso mb’an-kalo’ i vohitsey mb’eo le ingo t’i Davide naho o mpiama’eo nifanojo ama’e le nigaoña’e.
21 Now David had said, What was the use of my taking care of this man's goods in the waste land, so that there was no loss of anything which was his? he has only given me back evil for good.
Ie vaho nanao ty hoe t’i Davide: Toe tsy vente’e ty nañambenako o fonga vara’ indatiy am-patrambey atoio, ie ndra raik’ amo fanaña’eo tsy nipoke, le hehe te raty ty navale’e ahy t’ie nisoàñe.
22 May God's punishment be on David, if when morning comes there is so much as one male of his people still living.
Aa ehe te hanoen’ Añahare amo rafelahi’ i Davideo naho mandikoatse izay naho eo ty hadoko amo azeo ampara’ te porea’ ty maraindray ze mamany an-kijoly iaby.
23 And when Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her ass, falling down on her face before him.
Tendrek’ amy Davide amy zao t’i Abigale, le nizotso amy borìkey naho niba­bok’ aolo’ i Davide an-dahara’e vaho nidrakadrakak’ an-tane,
24 And falling at his feet she said, May the wrong be on me, my lord, on me: let your servant say a word to you, and give ear to the words of your servant.
nikorovok’ am-pandia’e nanao ty hoe: Anò amako talèko, ehe te ho amako o tahiñe zao, le ehe t’ie henga’o hivolañe añatrefa’o etoa; hijanjiña’o ty fivolan’ anak’ ampata’o.
25 Let my lord give no attention to Nabal, that good-for-nothing: for as his name is, so is he, a man without sense: but I, your servant, did not see the young men whom my lord sent.
Ehe tsy ho haoñen-talèko i tsi-jefa’e atao Nabale tia; fa i tahina’ey ro ie; hadagolàñe ty ama’e; fa naho izaho mpitoro’o ampela, tsy nitreako o mpitoron-talèko nampañitrife’oo.
26 So now, my lord, by the living God and by your living soul, seeing that the Lord has kept you from the crime of blood and from taking into your hands the punishment for your wrongs, may all your haters, and those who would do evil to my lord, be like Nabal.
Ie amy zao ry talèko kanao veloñe t’Iehovà naho veloñe ka ty arofo’o, oniñe te nisebañe azo t’Iehovà tsy homb’ etoa hampiori-dio, naho tsy hamale fate am-pità’o, le ee te hanahake i Nabale o rafelahi’oo vaho ze hipay hañoho-doza amy talèkoy.
27 And let this offering, which your servant gives to my lord, be given to the young men who are with my lord.
Ingo ka ry talèko ty ravoravo nandese’ i mpitoroñ’ ampela’oy amy talèkoy; atoloro amo mpitoroñe mpiamy talèkoo.
28 And may the sin of your servant have forgiveness: for the Lord will certainly make your family strong, because my lord is fighting in the Lord's war; and no evil will be seen in you all your days.
Miambane ama’o ehe apoho ty fiolà’ o mpitoroñ’ ampela’oo, fa toe hanoe’ Iehovà anjomba fatratse ty talèko amy te mpifanehak’ an-kotakotake ho a Iehovà i talèkoy, vaho mboe tsy nioniñe ama’o amo hene’ andro’oo ty hatsivokarañe.
29 And though a man has taken up arms against you, putting your life in danger, still the soul of my lord will be kept safe among the band of the living with the Lord your God; and the souls of those who are against you he will send violently away from him, like stones from a bag.
Aa ndra te niongake hañoridañe azo t’indaty hipay ty fiai’o, le ho rohizañe am-pandroñan-kavelo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ao ty fiai’o vaho hihiririñe mb’eo ty fiai’ o rafelahi’oo manahake t’ie boak’ an-korom-piletse.
30 And when the Lord has done for my lord all those good things which he has said he will do for you, and has made you a ruler over Israel;
Ie amy zao, naho fa nanoe’ Iehovà iaby ty hasoa nitsarae’e azo, vaho ie fa nañory azo ho mpifelek’ Israele;
31 Then you will have no cause for grief, and my lord's heart will not be troubled because you have taken life without cause and have yourself given punishment for your wrongs: and when the Lord has been good to you, then give a thought to your servant.
le ehe tsy ho boloko hampitsikapy azo o raha zao, tsy ho sirika añ’ arofon-talèko ao, t’ie nampio­rike lio tsy aman-tali’e, ke hamale fate am-bata’e ty talèko; aa naho fa nañasoa i talèkoy t’Iehovà, le tiahio o anak’ ampata’oo.
32 And David said to Abigail, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be praised, who sent you to me today:
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Abigale: Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele; amy t’ie nirahe’e hifanalaka amako anindroany;
33 A blessing on your good sense and on you, who have kept me today from the crime of blood and from taking into my hands the punishment for my wrongs.
rengèñe ka ty faharendreha’o, naho rengèn-drehe nitañ’ ahy tsy homb’eo hampiori-dio ndra hamale fate an-tañako.
34 For truly, by the living Lord, the God of Israel, who has kept me from doing you evil, if you had not been so quick in coming to me and meeting me, by dawn there would not have been in Nabal's house so much as one male living.
Fa ho nivata’e to, kanao veloñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele nanebañe ahy tsy hijoy azo, ami’ty falisa’o nifanalaka amako, te leo raik’ amo mpamany an-kijolio tsy ho nen­gañe amy Nabale ampara’ te porea’ ty handro.
35 Then David took from her hands her offering: and he said to her, Go back to your house in peace; see, I have given ear to your voice, and taken your offering with respect.
Aa le rinambe’ i Davide am-pità’e o nandese’e ama’eo, le hoe re ama’e. Mimpolia am-panintsiñañe mb’añ’ anjomba’o mb’eo; ingo fa hinaoko o feo’oo vaho ninòko ty fiatrefa’o.
36 And Abigail went back to Nabal; and he was feasting in his house like a king; and Nabal's heart was full of joy, for he had taken much wine; so she said nothing to him till dawn came.
Nomb’ amy Nabale amy zao t’i Abigale; le hehe t’ie nanao sabadidake añ’anjomba’e ao; manahake ty sabadidam-panjaka; le nifale añ’ arofo’e t’i Nabale, amy t’ie nijike; aa le tsy nitalilia’e, ndra kede ndra maro am-para’ te porea’ ty maraindray.
37 And in the morning, when the effect of the wine was gone, Nabal's wife gave him an account of all these things, and all the heart went out of him, and he became like stone.
Ie maraidraiñe, naho fa nijeañe amy Nabale i divaiy, te natalili’ i vali’e ama’e i raha rezay vaho nihomak’ am-po’e ao ty arofo’e, nijirigañe hoe vato.
38 And about ten days after, the Lord sent disease on Nabal and death came to him.
Ie modo ty folo andro varàñe le linafa’ Iehovà t’i Nabale vaho nikoromake.
39 And David, hearing that Nabal was dead, said, May the Lord be praised, who has taken up my cause against Nabal for the shame which he put on me, and has kept back his servant from evil, and has sent on Nabal's head the reward of his evil-doing. And David sent word to Abigail, desiring to take her as his wife.
Aa naho jinanji’ i Davide te nibanitse t’i Nabale, le hoe re; Andriañeñe t’Iehovà, ie nañato ty ahy amy fañinjeañe am-pità’ i Nabaley, naho nitana’e tsy hanao raty ty mpitoro’e; vaho nafote’ Iehovà ami’ty añambone’ i Nabale o hatsivokara’eo, le nampañitrike saontsy amy Abigale t’i Davide t’ie hengae’e ho tañanjomba’e.
40 And when David's servants came to Carmel, to Abigail, they said to her, David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife.
Aa ie nivotrak’ amy Abigale e Karmele ao o mpitoro’ i Davideo, le nisaontsie’e ty hoe: Nirahe’ i Davide ama’o zahay, handrorotse azo ho vali’e.
41 And she got up, and going down on her face to the earth, said, See, I am ready to be a servant-girl, washing the feet of the servants of my lord.
Niongak’ amy zao re, vaho naondre’e mb’ an-tane ty lahara’e nanao ty hoe: Oniño te mpitoroñe hanasa o fandiam-pitoro’ i talèkoio o anak’ ampata’eo.
42 Then Abigail got up quickly and went on her ass, with five of her young women, after the men whom David had sent; and she became David's wife.
Nihepa­kepak’ amy zao t’i Abigale naho niavotse le nijom-borìke reketse ty somondrara lime ho mpiama’e; le norihe’e o ira’ i Davideo vaho nanoeñe tañanjomba’e.
43 And David had taken Ahinoam of Jezreel, to be his wife; these two were his wives.
Nengae’ i Davide ka t’i Akinoame nte-Iezreele, le nivalie’e iereo roe.
44 Now Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish of Gallim.
Fa natolo’ i Saole amy Faltý ana’ i Laise nte Galime i Mikale anak’ ampela’e, vali’ i Davidey.
