1 Samuel 25
1 Then Samuel died, and all of Israel gathered together, and they mourned him. And they buried him at his house in Ramah. And David, rising up, descended to the desert of Paran.
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.
2 Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were at Carmel. And this man was exceedingly great. And three thousand sheep, and one thousand goats were his. And it happened that he was shearing his sheep at Carmel.
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.
3 Now the name of this man was Nabal. And the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a very prudent and beautiful woman. But her husband was hard-hearted, and very wicked, and malicious. And he was of the stock of Caleb.
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.
4 Therefore, when David, in the desert, had heard that Nabal was shearing his sheep,
Nabal loh a tu a vok te David loh khosoek ah a yaak coeng.
5 he sent ten young men, and he said to them: “Ascend to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name peacefully.
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.
6 And you shall say: ‘Peace be to my brothers and to you, and peace to your house, and peace to whatever you have.
Te vaengah 'Namah te hingnah neh sading la, na imkhui khaw sading la, na taengkah boeih te khaw sading la.
7 I have heard that your shepherds, who were with us in the desert, were shearing. We have never troubled them, nor was anything from the flock missing to them at any time, during the entire time that they have been with us in Carmel.
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.
8 Question your servants, and they will tell you. Now therefore, may your servants find favor in your eyes. For we have arrived on a good day. Whatever your hand will find, give it to your servants and to your son David.’”
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.
9 And when the servants of David had arrived, they spoke to Nabal all these words in the name of David. And then they were silent.
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.
10 But Nabal, responding to the servants of David, said: “Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? Today, servants who are fleeing from their lords are increasing.
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.
11 Therefore, shall I take my bread, and my water, and the meat of the cattle that I have slain for my shearers, and give it to men, when I do not know where they are from?”
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.
12 And so the servants of David traveled back along their way. And returning, they went and reported to him all the words that he had said.
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.
13 Then David said to his servants, “Let each one gird his sword.” And each one girded his sword. And David also girded his sword. And about four hundred men followed David. But two hundred remained behind with the supplies.
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.
14 Then it was reported to Abigail, the wife of Nabal, by one of his servants, saying: “Behold, David has sent messengers from the desert, so that they might speak kindly to our lord. But he turned them away.
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.
15 These men were good enough to us, and were not troublesome. Neither did we ever lose anything, during the entire time that we conversed with them in the desert.
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.
16 They were a wall to us, as much in the night as in the day, during all the days that we were with them, pasturing the sheep.
Khoyin neh khothaih ah khaw kaimih taengah vongtung la om uh. Kaimih neh a om tue khuiah tah amih taengah boiva a luem sakuh.
17 For this reason, consider and realize what you should do. For evil has been decided against your husband and against your house. And he is a son of Belial, so that no one is able to speak to him.”
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.
18 And so Abigail hurried, and she took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five cooked sheep, and five measures of cooked grain, and one hundred clusters of dried grapes, and two hundred masses of dried figs, and she set them upon donkeys.
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.
19 And she said to her servants: “Go before me. Behold, I will follow after your back.” But she did not reveal it to her husband, Nabal.
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.
20 And when she had climbed on a donkey, and was descending to the base of the mountain, David and his men were descending to meet her. And she met them.
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.
21 And David said: “Truly, in vain have I preserved all that was his in the wilderness, so that nothing perished out of all that belonged to him. And he has repaid evil to me for good.
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.
22 May God do these things, by the enemies of David, and may he add these other things, if I leave behind until morning, out of all that belongs to him, anything that urinates against a wall.”
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.
23 Then, when Abigail had seen David, she hurried and descended from the donkey. And she fell upon her face before David, and she reverenced on the ground.
Abigal loh David te a hmuh vaengah laak dong lamloh koe rhum. David hmai ah baluk tih a hmai longah diklai la bakop.
24 And she fell at his feet, and she said: “May this iniquity be upon me, my lord. I beg you, let your handmaid speak to your ears, and listen to the words of your servant.
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.
25 Let not my lord, the king, I beseech you, set his heart upon this iniquitous man, Nabal. For in accord with his name, he is senseless, and foolishness is with him. But I, your handmaid, did not see your servants, my lord, whom you had sent.
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 Now therefore, my lord, as your soul lives, and as the Lord lives, who has kept your hand to yourself, and has prevented you from coming to blood: now, let your enemies be like Nabal, and like all those who are seeking evil for my lord.
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.
27 Because of this, accept this blessing, which your handmaid has brought to you, my lord. And give it to the young men who follow you, my lord.
Ka boeipa taengah na imom loh hang khuen yoethennah he ka boeipa kho kung ah aka bat camoe rhoek te pae mai saeh.
28 Forgive the iniquity of your handmaid. For the Lord will surely make for you, my lord, a faithful house, because you, my lord, fight the battles of the Lord. Therefore, let no evil be found in you all the days of your life.
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.
29 For if a man, at any time, will rise up, pursuing you and seeking your life, the life of my lord will be preserved, as if in the sheave of the living, with the Lord your God. But the lives of your enemies will be spun around, as if with the force of a whirling sling.
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.
30 Therefore, when the Lord will have done for you, my lord, all the good that he has spoken about you, and when he will have appointed you as leader over Israel,
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.
31 this will not be for you a regret or a scruple of the heart, my lord, that you had shed innocent blood, or had taken revenge for yourself. And when the Lord will have done well for my lord, you shall remember your handmaid.”
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.
32 And David said to Abigail: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me. And blessed is your eloquence.
David loh Abigal te, “Ti hnin ah kai doe hamla nang aka tueih Israel Pathen BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai saeh.
33 And blessed are you, who prevented me today from going to blood, and from taking revenge for myself with my own hand.
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.
34 But instead, as the Lord God of Israel lives, he has prevented me from doing evil to you. But if you had not come quickly to meet me, there would not have been left to Nabal by the morning light, anything that urinates against a wall.”
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.
35 Then David received from her hand all that she had brought to him. And he said to her: “Go in peace to your own house. Behold, I have heeded your voice, and I have honored your face.”
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.
36 Then Abigail went to Nabal. And behold, he was holding a feast for himself in his house, like the feast of a king. And the heart of Nabal was cheerful. For he was greatly inebriated. And she did not reveal a word to him, small or great, until morning.
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 Then, at first light, when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife revealed to him these words, and his heart died within himself, and he became like a stone.
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.
38 And after ten days had passed, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
Te dongah hnin rha tluk a om phoeiah Nabal te BOEIPA loh a boh tih duek.
39 And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: “Blessed is the Lord, who has judged the case of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and who has preserved his servant from evil. And the Lord has repaid the malice of Nabal upon his own head.” Then David sent and he spoke with Abigail, so that he might take her to himself as wife.
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.
40 And David’s servants went to Abigail at Carmel, and they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, so that he might take you to himself as wife.”
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 nauh.
41 And rising up, she reverenced prone on the ground, and she said, “Behold, let your servant be a handmaid, to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”
Te vaengah thoo tih a hmai longah diklai la bakop thuk. Te phoeiah, “Na salnu tah imkhut neh ka boeipa sal rhoek kah a kho aka sil ham pawn ni he,” a ti.
42 And Abigail rose up and hurried, and she climbed upon a donkey, and five girls went with her, her attendants. And she followed the messengers of David, and she became his wife.
Abigal tah koe thoo tih laak dongah ngol. Te phoeiah a kho taengah aka pongpa hula panga neh David kah puencawn rhoek hnukah cet tih David yuu la pahoi om.
43 Moreover, David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel. And both of them were his wives.
Jezreel kah Ahinoam te khaw David loh a loh tih, amih rhoi te a yuu la bok om rhoi.
44 Then Saul gave his daughter Michal, the wife of David, to Palti, the son of Laish, who was from Gallim.
Tedae Saul loh a canu Mikhal, David yuu te Gallim lamkah Laish capa Palti taengla vik a paek pah.
