1 Samuel 25
1 And Samuel died; and all Israel were gathered together, and lamented him; and they buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
Samuel tah duek coeng. Te dongah Israel pum te tingtun uh tih anih tea rhaengsae uh. Te phoeiah Ramah kah amah im aha up uh. Te vaengah David te thoo tih Paran khosoek la suntla.
2 And there was a man at Maon, whose business was at Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and 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 And the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance; but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was a Calebite.
Tekah hlang ming tah Nabal tih, a yuu ming tah Abigal ni. Lungmingnah then, neh sakthen suisak nu la om daea va tah khoboe thae neh mangkhak la om. Anih te a lungbuei tah Kaleb la om.
4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
Nabal loh a tua vok te David loh khosoek aha yaak coeng.
5 Then David sent out ten young men; and David said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
Te dongah David loh cadong hlangrhaa 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 thus shall ye say: Long life [to thee]! and peace be to thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be to all that thou hast!
Te vaengah 'Namah te hingnah neh sading la, na imkhui khaw sading la, na taengkah boeih te khaw sading la.
7 And now I have heard that thou hast shearers; now thy shepherds who were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there aught missed by them, all the while they were in Carmel.
Namah hama dawn coeng tih namah hama 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 Ask thy young men, and they will tell thee. Therefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes; for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, what thy hand may find to thy servants, and to thy son David.
Na ca rhoek te dawt lamtah namah taengaha 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 David's young men came, and spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
Te dongah David kah camoe rhoek loh a pha uh neh te rhoek kah olka boeih te David ming neh Nabal taengaha thui uh tiha khueh uh.
10 And Nabal answered David's servants and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants now-a-days that break away every man from his master.
Tedae Nabal loh David kah sal rhoek tea doo tih, “David te nim? Jesse capa te nim? Tihnin ah sala pungtai pah hatah a boei rhoek kah mikhmuh ah hlanga vi.
11 And shall I take my bread, and my water, and my flesh which I have killed for my shearers, and give [it] to men whom I know not whence they are?
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 David's young men turned their way, and went back, and came and reported to him according to all those words.
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 And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword; and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the baggage.
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 tea kaelh van. Te phoeiah David hnukah hlang ya li tluk loh cet uh tih yakhat te hnopai neh om uh.
14 And one of [Nabal's] young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our master; and he has insulted them.
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 tarhaa cuk thil.
15 And the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we companied with them, when we were in the fields.
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 both by night and day, all the while we were with them feeding the sheep.
Khoyin neh khothaih ah khaw kaimih taengah vongtung la om uh. Kaimih neh a om tue khuiah tah amih taengah boivaa luem sakuh.
17 And now know and consider what thou wilt do, for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household; and he is such a son of Belial, that one cannot 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 Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two skin-bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched [corn], and a hundred raisin-cakes, and two hundred fig-cakes, and laid them on asses.
Te dongah Abigal tah koe hlah uh tih vaidam hluem yakhat, misur khap nit, tua sah la a sah tangtae pum nga, vairhum sum nga, misur rhae yakhat, thaidae yakhata loh tih laak dongaha tloeng pah.
19 And she said to her young men, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she did not tell 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 as she was riding on the ass, and coming down by the covert of the hill, behold, David and his men came down opposite to 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 Now David had said, Surely, in vain have I kept all that this [man] had in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that was his; and he has requited me evil 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 So and more also do God to the enemies of David, if I leave of all that is his by the morning light any male.
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 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
Abigal loh David tea hmuh vaengah laak dong lamloh koe rhum. David hmai ah baluk tih a hmai longah diklai la bakop.
24 and fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, [upon] me let the iniquity be; but let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear the words of thy handmaid.
A kho taengaha 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, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; and I thy handmaid did not see the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
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 And now, my lord, [as] Jehovah liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, seeing Jehovah has restrained thee from coming with bloodshed, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
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 And now this blessing which thy bondmaid has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men that follow 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 I pray thee, forgive the transgression of thy handmaid: for Jehovah will certainly make my lord a lasting house; because my lord fights the battles of Jehovah, and evil has not been found in thee all thy days.
Na salnu kah boekoeknah te phuei mai. Ka boeipa ham te BOEIPA loh a saiia saii bitni. Ka boeipa kah a vathoh tah BOEIPA kah caemtloek dongaha imkhui khaw cak. Namah tue khuiah tah na pum dongah boethae hmu boel saeh.
29 And if a man is risen up to pursue thee and to seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with Jehovah thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out from the hollow of the 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 banglaa dong ni.
30 And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall do to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning thee, and shall appoint thee ruler over Israel,
Nang ham hnothen te boeiha thui tih Israel soah rhaengsang la nang ng'uen te BOEIPA loh a saii vaengah tah ka boeipa hamla thoeng bitni.
31 that this shall be no stumbling-block to thee, nor offence of heart for my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall deal well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.
Ka boeipa lungbuei kah longkoek hmuitoel khaw, lunglilungla la thiia 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 be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me.
David loh Abigal te, “Ti hnin ah kai doe hamla nang aka tueih Israel Pathen BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai saeh.
33 And blessed be thy discernment, and blessed be thou, who hast kept me this day from coming with bloodshed, and from avenging myself with mine 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 khawa yoethen tih namah na yoethen pai.
34 But indeed, as Jehovah the God of Israel liveth, who has restrained me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any male.
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 So David received of her hand what she had brought him, and said to her, Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
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 And Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was drunken to excess; so she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
Nabal taengla Abigala 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 dongaha yita len akhaw mincang khosae duela anih taengah ol thui pah pawh.
37 And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things; and his heart died within him, and he became [as] a stone.
Mincanga pha vaengah Nabal kah misurtui khaw boeih. Te vaengah a yuu loh a taengah olka tea puen pah hatah a lungbuei te a khui aha duek pah sut tih amah te lungto bangla sut ngol.
38 And it came to pass in about ten days that Jehovah smote Nabal, and he died.
Te dongah hnin rha tluka om phoeiah Nabal te BOEIPA loh a boh tih duek.
39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil; but Jehovah has returned Nabal's evil upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her as his wife.
Nabala 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 soaha thuung coeng,” a ti. Te phoeiah David loh ol a tah tih Abigal te amah yuu la loh hama dawt.
40 And the servants of David came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee, to take thee as his wife.
Te dongah David kah sal rhoek loh Karmel kah Abigal tea paan uh tih amah taengaha thui uh vaengah, “David loh nang te amah yuu la loh ham nang taengla kaimih n'tueih coeng,” a ti na uh.
41 And she arose and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thy handmaid be a bondwoman to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
Te vaengah thoo tiha 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 hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and 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 David had also taken Ahinoam of Jizreel; and they became, even both of them, his wives.
Jezreel kah Ahinoam te khaw David loh a loh tih, amih rhoi te a yuu la bok om rhoi.
44 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
Tedae Saul loh a canu Mikhal, David yuu te Gallim lamkah Laish capa Palti taengla vik a paek pah.
