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.
Ary maty Samoela; ary nivory ny Isiraely rehetra ka nisaona azy sy nandevina azy tao amin’ ny fonenany tao Rama. Ary Davida niainga ka nidina nankany an-efitra Parana.
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.
Ary nisy lehilahy tao Maona, ary tao Karmela ny fananany; mpanjatobe ralehilahy ka nanana ondry telo arivo sy osy arivo, ary nanety ny ondriny tao Karmela izy.
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.
Nabala no anaran-dralehilahy; ary Abigaila no anaran’ ny vavy; vehivavy hendry sady tsara tarehy izy; fa ny lahy kosa saro-po sy ratsy amin’ izay ataony; ary isan’ ny taranak’ i Kaleba izy.
4 And David heard in the wilderness, that Nabal the Carmelite was shearing his sheep.
Ary ren’ i Davida tany an-efitra fa Nabala manety ny ondriny.
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.
Dia naniraka zatovo folo lahy Davida ka nanao taminy hoe: Miakara any Karmela ianareo, ary mankanesa any amin’ i Nabala, ka miarahabà azy amin’ ny anarako.
6 And thus shall ye say, May thou and thy house seasonably prosper, and all thine be in prosperity.
Ary izao no holazainareo aminy: trarantitra ianao, fiadanana anie ho anao, ary fiadanana ho amin’ ny ankohonanao, ary fiadanana ho amin’ izay anananao rehetra.
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.
Ary ankehitriny efa reko fa manety ondry ianao; koa ny mpiandry ondrinao, izay tao aminay, tsy nasianay ratsy, ary tsy nisy very na inona na inona tamin’ ny andro rehetra nitoerany tao Karmela.
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.
Anontanio ny zatovonao, fa hilaza aminao izy. Koa aoka hahita fitia eo imasonao ny zatovo (fa andro fifaliana no ihavianay); masìna ianao, mba omeo amin’ izay azon’ ny tananao ireto mpanomponao sy Davida zanakao.
9 So the servants come and speak these words to Nabal, according to all these words in the name of David.
Ary rehefa tonga ny zatovon’ i Davida, dia niteny tamin’ i Nabala tamin’ ny anaran’ i Davida araka izany teny rehetra Izany izy, ka dia nipetraka.
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.
Fa Nabala namaly ny mpanompon’ i Davida hoe: Inona moa Davida? Ary inona moa ny zanak’ i Jese? Misy mpanompo maro ankehitriny izay milefa miala amin’ ny tompony.
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?
Koa halaiko va ny mofoko sy ny ranoko ary ny zavatra izay efa novonoiko ho an’ ny mpanety ondriko, ka homeko izay olona tsy fantatro nihaviana akory?
12 So the servants of David turned back, and returned, and came and reported to David according to these words.
Dia nihodina ny zatovon’ i Davida ka nankany amin’ izay nalehany; ary dia nody tany aminy indray izy ka nanambara izany teny rehetra izany taminy.
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.
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ ny olony: Samia manao ny sabatrareo eo amin’ ny fehin-tsabany avy ianareo; ka dia samy nanao ny sabany teo amin’ ny fehin-tsabany avy ny olona, ary dia mba nanao ny sabany teo amin’ ny fehin-tsabany koa Davida; ary nisy tokony ho efa-jato lahy niakatra nanaraka an’ i Davida, ary roan-jato lahy kosa nipetraka teo amin’ ny entana.
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.
Ary Abigaila, vadin’ i Nabala, dia nilazan’ ny anankiray tamin’ ny zatovony hoe: Indro, Davida naniraka olona avy tany an-efitra mba hiarahaba ny tompontsika, nefa nisafoaka tamin’ ireny izy.
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.
Fa ireo lehilahy ireo dia nanao tsara tokoa taminay, ka tsy naninona tsy naninona izahay, ary tsy nisy zavatra very tamin’ izay andro nitoeranay tao aminy, fony tany an-tsaha izahay.
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.
Izy no mandanay andro aman’ alina tamin’ ny andro rehetra nitoeranay niandry ondry tao aminy.
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.
Koa dia fantaro sy hevero ankehitriny izay hataonao; fa ratsy no ifofoan’ ny tompontsika mbamin’ ny ankohonany rehetra; fa Nabala dia tena ratsy fanahy, ka tsy misy olona mahazo miteny aminy.
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.
Dia nandeha faingana Abigaila ka naka mofo roan-jato sy divay eran’ ny tavoara roa sy ondry dimy voavoatra sy lango indimin’ ny vata sy takela-boaloboka maina zato ary ampempan’ aviavy roan-jato, dia nasampiny tamin’ ny boriky izany.
19 And she said to her servants, Go on before me, and behold I come after you: but she told not her husband.
Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny zatovony: Mandehana eo alohako, indro, izaho hanaraka anareo; nefa Nabala vadiny tsy mba nilazany.
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.
Ary tamin’ izany, nony nitaingina ny borikiny izy ka nidina tao amin’ ny takon’ ny havoana, dia indro, Davida sy ny olony nidina nanatona azy, ary izy nifanena taminy.
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.
Ary Davida efa nilaza hoe: Foana tokoa ny an-efitra, ka tsy nisy very na inona na inona; fa novaliany ratsy ny soa nataoko.
22 So God do to David and more also, if I leave one male of all that belong to Nabal until the morning.
Mba hataon’ Andriamanitra toy izany anie ny fahavalon’ i Davida, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha dia havelako hisy miangana na dia lehilahy iray aza izay mety ho azy ambara-pahazavan’ ny andro.
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
Ary Abigaila, raha nahita an’ i Davida, dia niala faingana tamin’ ny boriky ary niankohoka teo anatrehan’ i Davida ka nitsaoka azy.
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.
Dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tongony izy ka nanao hoe: Aoka ho ahy dia ho ahy ity heloka ity, tompokolahy; masìna ianao, avelao ny ankizivavinao hiteny eto anatrehanao, ka henoy ny tenin’ ny ankizivavinao.
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.
Masìna ianao, aoka ny tompoko tsy hisaina io Nabala lehilahy tena ratsy fanahy io, fa araka ny anarany ihany no toeny; Nabala no anarany, ary hadalana no ao aminy; fa izaho ankizivavinao, tompoko, tsy mba nahita ny zatovo nirahinao.
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.
Koa ankehitriny, tompoko, raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny fanahinao, Jehovah efa niaro anao tsy hahazo heloka amin’ ny fandatsahan-drà ary tsy hamaly ho an’ ny tenanao; ary avelao ny fahavalonao sy izay mitady hanisy ratsy anao, tompoko, ho tahaka an’ i Nabala.
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.
Ary izao saotra nentin’ ny ankizivavinao aminao izao, tompoko, dia aoka homena ny zatovo manaraka ny Tompoko.
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.
Masìna ianao, mamelà ny fahadisoan’ ny ankizivavinao, fa Jehovah hampaharitra ny taranaky ny tompoko tokoa; fa ny tompoko miady ny adin’ i Jehovah, ary tsy misy ratsy ho hita aminao amin’ ny andro rehetra iainanao.
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.
Nefa raha misy olona mitsangana hanenjika anao ka mitady ny ainao, dia hofehezina amin’ ny fehin’ aina ao amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra ny fanahin’ ny tompoko, fa ny fanahin’ ny fahavalonao kosa dia hatorany toy ny eo amin’ ny foitran’ antsamotady.
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;
Ary amin’ izany, raha Jehovah mahavita amin’ ny tompoko araka ny soa rehetra nilazany anao ka manendry anao ho mpanapaka ny Isiraely,
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.
dia tsy ho alahelo na ho nenina amin’ ny fon’ ny tompoko izany, fa tsy nandatsa-drà foana ianao, na namaly ho an’ ny tenanao, tompoko; fa rehefa asian’ i Jehovah soa ny tompoko, dia mba tsarovy aho ankizivavinao.
32 And David said to Abigaia, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who sent thee this very day to meet me:
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Abigaila: Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Izay naniraka anao hihaona amiko androany.
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.
Ary hotahiny anie ny fahendrenao, ary hotahiny anie ianao, izay niaro ahy androany tsy hahazo heloka amin’ ny fandatsahan-drà ary tsy hamaly ho an’ ny tenako.
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.
Kanefa, raha velona koa Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Izay niaro ahy tsy hanisy ratsy anao, raha tsy avy faingana hitsena ahy ianao toy izay, dia efa tsy nasiako niangana na dia lehilahy iray aza amin’ i Nabala ambara-pahazavan’ ny andro.
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.
Ka dia noraisin’ i Davida teny an-tànany ilay zavatra nentiny, ary hoy izy taminy: Miakara soa aman-tsara ho any an-tranonao ianao; indro, efa nohenoiko ny feonao, ary nankasitrahako ianao.
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.
Ary Abigaila dia tonga tao amin’ i Nabala; kanjo, indro, nanao fanasana tao an-tranony izy tahaka ny fanasan’ ny mpanjaka, ary faly ny fon’ i Nabala tamin’ izany, ary mamo loatra izy, ka dia tsy nisy nambaran’ ny vavy taminy, na kely na be mandra-pahazavan’ ny andro.
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.
Ary nony maraina, ka afaka ny hamamoan’ i Nabala, dia nambaran’ ny vavy taminy izany zavatra izany, ka dia matihena ny fony ka tonga tahaka ny vato.
38 And it came to pass after about ten days, that the Lord smote Nabal, and he died.
Ary nony afaka hafoloana, dia nasian’ i Jehovah Nabala, ka dia maty izy.
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.
Ary nony ren’ i Davida fa maty Nabala, dia hoy izy: Isaorana anie Jehovah izay niady ho ahy ka nahafa-tondromaso ahy tamin’ i Nabala sy niaro ny mpanompony tsy hahatanteraka ny ratsy; fa ny ratsy nataon’ i Nabala dia nampodin’ i Jehovah ho eo an-dohany ihany. Ary Davida naniraka hiresaka amin’ i Abigaila hila azy ho vady.
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.
Ary nony tonga tany amin’ i Abigaila teo Karmela ny mpanompon’ i Davida, dia hoy izy: Davida naniraka anay hankatỳ aminao hila anao ho vadiny.
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.
Dia nitsangana izy ary niankohoka tamin’ ny tany ka nanao hoe: Indro, aoka ny ankizivavinao ho mpanompo hanasa ny tongotry ny mpanompon’ itompokolahy.
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.
Ary Abigaila nitsangana faingana ka nitaingina boriky, ary ankizivaviny dimy no nanaraka azy; dia nanaraka ny irak’ i Davida izy, ka dia novadiny.
43 And David took Achinaam out of Jezrael, and they were both his wives.
Ary Davida efa nanambady an’ i Ahinoama avy any Jezirela koa; ary samy novadiny avokoa izy roa vavy.
44 And Saul gave Melchol his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Amis who was of Romma.
Fa Saoly efa nanome an’ i Mikala, zananivavy, vadin’ i Davida, ho vadin’ i Palty, zanak’ i Laisy, avy any Galima.
