Kings I 25
1 And Samuel died, and all Israel assembled, and bewailed him, and they bury him in his house in Armathaim: and David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Maon.
Samuel duek naah, Israelnawk boih amkhueng o moe, anih to qah o haih: anih loe a ohhaih vangpui Ramah ah aphum o. To naah David loe angthawk moe, Paran praezaek ah caeh tathuk.
2 And there was a man in Maon, and his flocks were in Carmel, and [he was] a very great man; and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand she-goats: and he happened to be shearing his flock in Carmel.
Karmel vangpui ah im katawn, Maon ih kami maeto oh; anih loe angraeng parai moe, maeh sangto hoi tuu sang thumto tawnh; anih loe Karmel ah tuu mui to aah.
3 And the man's name [was] Nabal, and his wife's name [was] Abigaia: and his wife [was] of good understanding and very beautiful in person: but the man [was] harsh, and evil in his doings, and the man [was] churlish.
Anih loe Nabal, tiah ahmin oh; a zu ih ahmin loe Abigail. Anih ih zu loe thaih kophaih katawn palungha kami ah oh moe, kranghoih parai nongpata ah oh; toe a sava loe Kaleb ih acaeng ah oh, poekset pongah kahoih ai hmuen to sak.
4 And David heard in the wilderness, that Nabal the Carmelite was shearing his sheep.
Nabal loe tuumui aah, tiah David mah taw hoiah thaih.
5 And David sent ten young men, and he said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and ask him in my name how he is.
To pongah thendoeng kami hato anih, to tih ai boeh loe Nabal khaeah Karmel vangpui ah caeh oh loe, kai ih ahmin hoiah anih to bansin oh;
6 And thus shall ye say, May thou and thy house seasonably prosper, and all thine be in prosperity.
anih khaeah, Na hinglung sawk nasoe; nangmah hoi na imthung takoh boih, nangmah ih kaminawk boih nuiah monghaih om nasoe.
7 And now, behold, I have heard that thy shepherds who were with is in the wilderness are shearing thy sheep, and we hindered them not, neither did we demand any thing from them all the time they were in Carmel.
Vaihi tuumui na aah, tiah ka panoek; nang ih tuutoep kaminawk kaicae khaeah oh o naah, nihcae to raihaih ka paek o ai; Karmel ah oh o nathung, nihcae ih hmuenmae tidoeh anghmaa ai.
8 Ask thy servants, and they will tell thee. Let then thy servants find grace in thine eyes, for we are come on a good day; give we pray thee, whatsoever thy hand may find, to thy son David.
Na thendoengnawk to dueng ah, nihcae mah na thui o tih hmang. To pongah poihsakhaih atue ah angzo kai ih thendoengnawk nuiah na koehhaih amtueng nasoe; na tamnanawk hoi na capa David hanah na tawnh ih hmuen to paek thoem ah, tiah thui pae oh, tiah a naa.
9 So the servants come and speak these words to Nabal, according to all these words in the name of David.
To ah phak o naah, David mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, David ih kaminawk mah Nabal khaeah thuih pae o moe, a zing o.
10 And Nabal sprang up, and answered the servants of David, and said, Who [is] David? and who [is] the son of Jessae? Now-a-days there is abundance of servants who depart every one from his master.
Nabal mah David ih tamnanawk khaeah, David loe mi aa? Jesse capa loe mi aa? Vai tahang loe angmacae ih angraeng khae hoi loklam amkhraeng tamna paroeai oh o.
11 And shall I take my bread, and my wine, and my beasts that I have slain for my shearers, and shall I give them to men of whom I know not whence they are?
Kawbangmaw kaimah ih tuumui aat kaminawk hanah ka boh pae ih moi, takaw hoi tui to ka lak moe, naa hoiah angzo kami maw, tiah ka panoek ai ih kami to ka paek thai tih? tiah a naa.
12 So the servants of David turned back, and returned, and came and reported to David according to these words.
To naah David ih kaminawk loe angqoi o moe, amlaem o let, nihcae mah to tiah thuih ih loknawk boih to thuih pae o.
13 And David said to his men, Gird on every man his sword. And they went up after David, about four hundred men: and two hundred abode with the stuff.
David mah angmah ih thendoengnawk khaeah, Sumsen to sin oh, tiah a naa. To pongah nihcae loe sumsen to sin o boih, David doeh angmah ih sumsen to angnaeng toeng; David hoi nawnto caeh kaminawk loe cumvai palito oh o, kami cumvai hnettonawk mah hmuenmae to toep o.
14 And one of the servants reported to Abigaia the wife of Nabal, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our lord; but he turned away from them.
Toe thendoeng maeto mah Nabal ih zu Abigail khaeah, Khenah, David mah praezaek hoiah ka angraeng bansin hanah angmah ih laicaehnawk to patoeh, toe anih mah to laicaehnawk to zoeh.
15 And the men were very good to us; they did not hinder us, neither did they demand from us any thing all the days that we were with them.
To laicaehnawk loe kaicae khaeah paroeai hoih o; kaicae han nganbawh kana paek ai; taw ah nihcae khae ka oh o nathung, tih hmuen doeh anghmaa ai.
16 And when we were in the field, they were as a wall round about us, both by night and by day, all the days that we were with them feeding the flock.
Aqum athun nihcae khaeah tuu toep hoi ka oh o naah, nihcae loe kaicae han sipae baktiah oh o.
17 And now do thou consider, and see what thou wilt do; for mischief is determined against our lord and against his house; and he [is] a vile character, and one cannot speak to him.
To pongah vaihi timaw sak nahaeloe hoi tih, tiah poek ah; ka angraeng hoi anih ih imthung takohnawk loe amro boih han ih ni oh sut boeh. Anih loe kasae kami ah oh pongah, mi mah doeh anih khaeah lokthui thai mak ai, tiah a naa.
18 And Abigaia hasted, and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five ephahs of fine flour, and one homer of dried grapes, and two hundred cakes of figs, and put them upon asses.
Abigail loe karangah caeh moe, takaw cumvai hnetto, misurtui pailang hnetto, thongh tangcae tuu pangato ih moi, haek ih kamtong takho pangato, misurthaih kazaek takho cumvai hnetto lak moe, thaiduet thaih hoi sak ih takaw cumvai hnetto, hrang a phawhsak.
19 And she said to her servants, Go on before me, and behold I come after you: but she told not her husband.
To pacoengah a tamnanawk khaeah, Khenah, ka hmabang ah caeh oh; nangcae hnukah kang zoh han, tiah a naa. Toe to kawng to a sava Nabal khaeah thui pae ai.
20 And it came to pass when she had mounted her ass and was going down by the covert of the mountain, behold, David and his men came down to meet her, and she met them.
Hrang angthueng moe, mae taeng ih tahawt thungah phak naah, David hoi anih ih kaminawk loe anih khaeah caeh o tathuk moe, nihcae hoi anghnuk o.
21 And David said, Perhaps I have kept all his possessions in the wilderness that he should wrong me, and we did not order the taking anything of all his goods; yet he has rewarded me evil for good.
David mah, Hae kami ih hmuen maeto doeh anghmat han ai ah, anih ih hmuenmaenawk to taw ah azom ah ni ka toep o; ka sak o ih kahoih hmuen to kasae hmuen hoiah ang pathok.
22 So God do to David and more also, if I leave one male of all that belong to Nabal until the morning.
Khawnbangah, Nabal angmah hoi anih ih imthung takoh thung ih kami maeto loih nahaeloe, Sithaw mah David ih misa nuiah koeh baktiah sah nasoe, kanung parai ah doeh sah nasoe, tiah a naa.
23 And Abigaia saw David, and she hasted and alighted from her ass; and she felt before David on her face, and did obeisance to him, [bowing] to the ground
Abigail mah David to hnuk naah, hrang nui hoi karangah anghum tathuk moe, anih hmaa ah long ah akuep,
24 [even] to his feet, and said, On me, my lord, be my wrong: let, I pray thee, thy servant speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy servant.
a khokkung ah tabok pae moe, Ka angraeng, ka nuiah khue, hae zaehaih hae ka nuiah khue om nasoe; tahmenhaih hoiah na tamna hae na hmaa ah lokthuisak raeh; na tamna ih lok hae tahngai raeh.
25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, take to heart this pestilent man, for according to his name, so is he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him: but I thy handmaid saw not the servants of my lord whom thou didst send.
Kami kahoih ai, Nabal to ka angraeng nang mah tiah doeh poek khing hmah; angmah ih ahmin baktiah ni tuinuen doeh oh; anih ih ahmin loe, Nabal; anih loe kamthu tuinuen ni a tawnh; toe na tamna kai loe ka angraeng nang mah patoeh ih, thendoengnawk to ka hnu ai.
26 And now, my lord, [as] the Lord lives, and thy soul lives, as the Lord has kept thee from coming against innocent blood, and from executing vengeance for thyself, now therefore let thine enemies, and those that seek evil against my lord, become as Nabal.
Ka angraeng nang mah vaihi kami ih athii palong han ai ah, na ban hoi athii longsak han ai ah, Angraeng mah pakaa nasoe; Angraeng loe hing moe, nang doeh na hing baktih toengah, na misanawk hoi na hinghaih pakrong kaminawk loe, Nabal baktiah om o nasoe.
27 And now accept this token of goodwill, which thy servant has brought to my lord, and thou shalt give it to the servants that wait on my lord.
Na tamna kai mah ka angraeng nang hanah kang sin ih hae tangqum hae, ka angraeng hnukbang kaminawk khaeah na paek pae nasoe.
28 Remove, I pray thee, the trespass of thy servant; for the Lord will surely make for my lord a sure house, for the Lord fights the battles of my lord, and there shall no evil be ever found in thee.
Na tamna nongpata zaehaih to tahmen raeh; ka angraeng loe Angraeng ih misa ni tuk moe, ka angraeng loe a hing thung sakpazaehaih om ai, to pongah Angraeng mah ka angraeng hanah kacak im to sah pae tih.
29 And [if] a man shall rise up persecuting thee and seeking thy life, yet shall the life of my lord be bound up in the bundle of life with the Lord God, and thou shalt whirl the life of thine enemies [as] in the midst of a sling.
Kami mah na hinghaih lak hanah angthawk moe, patom cadoeh, ka angraeng hinghaih to Angraeng Sithaw mah pop parai khosakhoihaih ah omsak tih, toe na misanawk hinghaih loe ngazai hoi zai ih lawkthluem baktiah ni om o tih.
30 And it shall be when the Lord shall have wrought for my lord all the good things he has spoken concerning thee, and shall appoint thee to be ruler over Israel;
Angraeng mah ka angraeng nuiah sak hanah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, anih khaeah kahoih hmuen to sak moe, anih to Israel kaminawk zaehoikung ah suek naah,
31 then this shall not be an abomination and offence to my lord, to have shed innocent blood without cause, and for my lord to have avenged himself: and so may the Lord do good to my lord, and thou shalt remember thine handmaid to do her good.
ka angraeng mah kami to hum moe, hae hmuen kawng pongah lu lak naah, ka angraeng nuiah palungsethaih hoi kasae thuihaih om hmah nasoe. Angraeng mah ka angraeng nuiah kahoih hmuen sak naah, na tamna kai hae pahnet hmah, tiah a naa.
32 And David said to Abigaia, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who sent thee this very day to meet me:
David mah Abigail khaeah, Vaihniah kai tongh hanah nang patoehkung, Israel Angraeng Sithaw loe, tahamhoihaih om nasoe.
33 and blessed [be] thy conduct, and blessed [be] thou, who hast hindered me this very day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself.
Na thuih ih kahoih lok pongah, vaihniah kami hum han caeh han ai ah pakaakung, ka ban hoi lu lak han ai ah paka kami, nang doeh tahamhoihaih om nasoe.
34 But surely as the Lord God of Israel lives, who hindered me this day from doing thee harm, if thou hadst not hasted and come to meet me, then I said, There shall [surely] not be left to Nabal till the morning one male.
Nang pacaekthlaek han ai ah pakaakung, Israel Angraeng Sithaw loe hing baktih toengah, kai tongh hanah karangah nang zo ai nahaeloe, khawnbang khodai naah Nabal ih kami maeto doeh loih mak ai, tiah a naa.
35 And David took of her hand all that she brought to him, and said to her, Go in peace to thy house: see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and accepted thy petition.
To naah anih mah sin pae ih hmuennawk boih to David mah talawk pae moe, lunghoihta hoiah na im ah amlaem lai ah; na lok to ka tahngai moe, na mikhmai doeh ka khet boeh, tiah a naa.
36 And Abigaia came to Nabal: and, behold, he had a banquet in this house, as the banquet of a king, and the heart of Nabal [was] merry within him, and he [was] very drunken: and she told him nothing great or small till the morning light.
Abigail loe Nabal khaeah caeh; anih loe siangpahrang mah sak ih poih baktiah poih to a sak; anih loe paroeai poeknawm moe, mu to paqui pongah, khawnbang khodai khoek to, Abigail mah a sava khaeah tidoeh thui pae ai.
37 And it came to pass in the morning, when Nabal recovered from his wine, his wife told him these words; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
Khawnbang mu paquih cai naah, a zu mah Nabal khaeah kangcoeng hmuen kawng to thuih pae; to naah anih ih palung to angtawt ai anghak ving boeh pongah, thlung baktiah angcoeng ving.
38 And it came to pass after about ten days, that the Lord smote Nabal, and he died.
Ni hato oh pacoengah, Angraeng mah Nabal to boh moe, a duek.
39 And David heard it and said, Blessed [be] the Lord, who has judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and has delivered his servant from the power of evil; and the Lord has returned the mischief of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and spoke concerning Abigaia, to take her to himself for a wife.
Nabal duek boeh, tiah David mah thaih naah, Kai patoek kami Nabal nuiah ban ang phok pae moe, kahoih ai hmuen sak han ai ah, ka ban ang patawnh pae pongah, Angraeng loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe; Nabal mah sak ih zaehaih loe angmah lu nuiah krak boeh, tiah thuih. To naah David mah kami to patoeh moe, Abigail to zu ah lak hanah duengsak.
40 So the servants of David came to Abigaia to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee, to take thee to himself for a wife.
A tamnanawk loe Karmel ah caeh o moe, anih khaeah, David mah nang hae a zu ah oh hanah ang laksak, tiah a naa o.
41 And she arose, and did reverence with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, thy servant [is] for an handmaid to wash the feet of thy servants.
To naah anih mah angthawk moe, a mikhmai to long ah akuep tathuk pacoengah, Khenah, kai loe ka angraeng tamnanawk ih khok pasae tamna nongpata ah om nasoe, tiah a naa.
42 And Abigaia arose, and mounted her ass, and five damsels followed her: and she went after the servants of David, and became his wife.
Abigail loe karangah laa hrang nuiah angthueng, a taengah kaom nongpata pangato mah anih to caeh o haih; David ih laicaehnawk hnukah caeh moe, anih ih zu ah oh.
43 And David took Achinaam out of Jezrael, and they were both his wives.
David loe Jezreel vangpui ih Ahinoam doeh zu ah lak; to tiah nihnik loe anih ih zu ah oh hoi hmaek.
44 And Saul gave Melchol his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Amis who was of Romma.
Toe Saul mah David han paek ih a canu Mikal loe, Galim ih kami Laish capa Patiel hanah paek pae ving.
