1 Samuel 25
1 Samuel died. Everyone in Israel gathered to mourn for him, and they buried him at his home in Ramah. David left and went to the Desert of Paran.
Sa: miuele da bogoi. Amola Isala: ili fi dunu huluane da ema asigiba: le idigimusa: gilisi. Ilia da moi hi lai (La: ima) amogai e uli dogone sali. Amolalu, Da: ibidi da wadela: i hafoga: i soge Ba: ila: ne amoga asi.
2 A man from Maon was very wealthy. He had property in Carmel and owned one thousand goats and three thousand sheep. He was in Carmel shearing them.
3 The man's name was Nabal, and his wife's name was Abigail. She was a wise and beautiful woman, but her husband was cruel and treated people badly. He was a descendant of Caleb.
Amogawi, Ga: ilebe fi dunu ea dio amo Na: iba: le da Ma: ione moilaiga esalebe ba: i. E da Gamele moilai gadenene dialebe soge gagui. E da bagade gagui dunu. E da sibi 3,000 agoane amola goudi 1,000 agoane gagui galu. Ea uda da isisima: goi ba: i amola bagade dawa: su ba: i. Be Na: iba: le da uasu amola hedolo mi hanasu dunu agoane ba: i. Na: iba: le da Gamele amoga ea sibi hinabo dadamunanebe ba: i,
4 David was in the wilderness, and he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.
amola Da: ibidi da wadela: i hafoga: i soge ganodini esalu, amo hou nabi.
5 So David sent ten of his young men and told them, “Go and see Nabal at Carmel. Greet him in my name, and say hello from me.
Amaiba: le, e da ayeligi dunu nabuane amo Na: iba: lema hahawane sia: sia: ma: ne, Gamele moilaiga asunasi.
6 Tell him, ‘I wish you a long life! Peace to you and your family, and may everything you do prosper.
E da ili Na: iba: lema amane sia: ma: ne sia: i, “Sama! Da: ibidi da dima, dia sosogo amola dili huluane dilima ea asigi sia: sia: sisa.
7 Now I've heard that you are busy shearing. When your shepherds were with us, we didn't mistreat them, and nothing belonging to them was stolen all the time they were in Carmel.
E da nabi amo di da dia sibi ilia hinabo dadamusa: esala. Ea hanai da dia sibi ouligisu da nini esala amola ninia da ilima se hame iasu, di da amo dawa: mu e da hanai. Ilia da Gamele amogai esaloba, ilia liligi afae wamolai hame ba: i.
8 Check with your men and they'll confirm it. Please be kind to my men, especially since we've come on this day of celebration. Please give whatever food you can to us and to your good friend David.’”
Di da dia hawa: hamosu dunu ilima adole ba: sea, ilia da amo defele dima olelemu. Ninia da lolo nabe esoga dima misi wea. Di da nini aowama: ne, Da: ibidi da dima edegesa. Nini amola dia na: iyado Da: ibidi fidima: ne, dia imunu amo ninima ima.”
9 David's young men arrived, gave Nabal this message from David, and waited for his reply.
Da: ibidi ea dunu da Da: ibidi ea sia: amo Na: iba: lema olelelalu, ouesalu.
10 “Who does this ‘David, son of Jesse’ think he is?” Nabal replied. “Nowadays there are many servants on the run from their masters!
Na: iba: le da aligili, amalu amane adole i, “Da: ibidi da nowala: ? Na da ea dio hamedafa nabi. We galu ninia soge da hobeale asi udigili hawa: hamosu dunu amoga nabai gala!
11 Why should I take the bread and water I've supplied, and the meat I've slaughtered for my shearers, and hand it over to these strangers? I don't even know where they're from!”
Na da na agi gobei, hano amola ohe na da na sibi hinabo dadamusu dunugili ima: ne fanelegei, amo lale, dunu amo da habodili misi na hame dawa: , amogili hamedafa imunu!”
12 So David's men turned around and went back the way they came. When they got back they told David everything Nabal had said.
Da: ibidi ea dunu da ema buhagili, Na: iba: le ea sia: i ema adodole i.
13 “Everyone, put on your swords!” David ordered. They all put on their swords, and David did too. About four hundred followed David, while two hundred remained behind to guard their gear.
Da: ibidi da ea dunuma amane sia: i, “Dilia! Gegesu gobihei salawane idinigima!” Amalalu, ilia da amane hamoi. Da: ibidi amola da ea gegesu gobihei idiniginisi. E amola ea dunu 400 agoane da Na: iba: le e doagala: musa: asi. Ea dunu eno 200 agoane da ilia liligi ouligima: ne, Ba: ila: ne sogega ouesalu.
14 In the meantime one of Nabal's men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, “David sent some messengers from the wilderness to bring greetings to our master, but he only insulted them.
Na: iba: le ea hawa: hamosu dunu afae da Na: iba: le idua A: biga: ilema amane sia: i, “Di da nabibala: ? Da: ibidi da hafoga: i sogega asigi sia: ninia hina ema sia: si. Be e da bu Da: ibidima ougili sisa: noi.
15 David's men were always very good to us and they never mistreated us. All the time we were out in the fields with them nothing was stolen from us.
Be Da: ibidi amola ea dunu da ninima obenane hamoi. Ilia da ninima se hame iasu. Amola ninia da ili amola sogega gilisili esalea, ninia da liligi afae wamolai hamedafa ba: i.
16 They were like a protective wall to us, both day and night, during the whole time we were with them looking after the sheep.
Ninia da sibi wa: i ouligisa esalea, ilia da yoga amola gasia, ninima noga: le gaga: su.
17 You should know what happened and consider what you should do about it. Disaster is about to strike our master and his whole family, but he's so obnoxious no one can talk sense into him!”
Amo hou noga: le dawa: lalu, dia hamomu ilegema. Ea hamobeba: le, ninia hina amola ea sosogo huluane da se bagade nabimu agoai galebe. E da gasa fi bagade hamobeba: le, e da dunu eno ilia sia: hamedafa naba.”
18 Abigail quickly gathered together two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five sheep already slaughtered, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred raisin cakes, and two hundred fig cakes, and then loaded everything on donkeys.
A: biga: ile da hedolowane agi ga: gi 200 amola bulamagau gadofoga hamoi daba waini hano nabai aduna, sibi houi biyale, gagoma egegei17 gilogala: me, waini fage gagabu fofogai 100 agoane amola figi ifa fage fofogai ga: gi 200 agoane amo lale, dougi da: iya lidili lelegesa lai.
19 She told her men, “Go on ahead. I'll follow you.” But she didn't say anything to her husband Nabal.
Amalalu, e da ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia bisili masa! Na da fa: no bobogemu.” Be e da egoa ema hamedafa sia: i.
20 As Abigail was riding her donkey through a mountain valley, she saw David and his men descending towards her, and she met them.
E da dougi da: iya fila heda: le, agolo goulole aliagaloba, hedolowane Da: ibidi amola ea dunu migadenene manebe ba: i.
21 David had just been complaining, “So much for my protecting everything that belonged to this man in the wilderness! Nothing at all was stolen from him, and yet what does he do? Pay me back evil for good!
Da: ibidi amane dadawa: lu, “Na da abuliba: le amo dunu ea liligi hafoga: i sogega ouligilalula: ? E da liligi afae wamolai hamedafa ba: i. Be na da e fidibiba: le, e da nama wadela: i bidi dabe iaha.
22 May God punish me very severely if I leave even a single one of his men alive by morning!”
Na da hame hadigia amo dunu huluane hame fane lelegesea, Hina Gode da na fane legemu da defea.”
23 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off the donkey, and bowed before him, her face to the ground.
A: biga: ile da Da: ibidi ba: beba: le, hedolowane dougi da: iya esalu alia gudui amalu hi gobele Da: ibidi ea emo bega: osoba gala: la sa: ili,
24 Falling at his feet in respect, she said, “Sir, I accept full responsibility for what's happened. Please listen to what I, your servant, have to say.
amola ema amane sia: i, “Dafawane hina! Na sia: nabima! Na da amo da: i diosu dabe lala!
25 Please don't concern yourself with this worthless man Nabal. His name means ‘fool,’ and he is really foolish! As for me, your servant, I didn't even see the men you sent.
Na: iba: le da noga: i hame dunu! Ea sia: mae nabima! Dafawane! E da ea dio dawa: loma: ne defele gagaoui dunu esala! Hina! Dia hawa: hamosu dunu da doaga: loba, na da amogawi hame galu.
26 Now, sir, as the Lord lives and as you live, the Lord has kept you from shedding blood and from taking your own revenge. Sir, may your enemies and those who want to do you harm be like Nabal.
Dia ha lai dunuma dabele fane legemu logo, Hina Gode E da hedofai. Amola wali na da Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le amane sia: sa, dia ha lai amola dunu huluane da dima se imunusa: dawa: lala, amo da Na: iba: le ea se iasu lamu defele, se iasu ba: mu.
27 Please accept this present that I, your servant, have brought to you, sir, and give it to your men.
Dafawane hina! Na dima udigili imunusa: gaguli misi goe lale, dia dunuma ima.
28 Please forgive any offense that I, your servant, have committed, for the Lord is sure to set up a dynasty for you that will last for a long time, because you, sir, fight the battles of the Lord. Wickedness should not be found in you as long as you live.
Dafawane hina! Na da wadela: i hou hamoi galea, amo gogolema: ne olofoma. Hina Gode da di amola digaga fi hina bagade hamomu. Bai di Ea gegesu hamonana. Amola di da esalea, wadela: i hou hamedafa hamomu.
29 If anyone pursues you and tries to kill you, then your life will remain bound up with those the Lord your God looks after, safe in his care. But he will throw away the lives of your enemies like stones from a sling.
Nowa da dima doagala: le, fane legemusa: dawa: sea, dia Hina Gode da dunu da gobolo gene ouligibi defele, di gaga: mu. Be dia ha lai dunu amo Hina Gode da dunu da ifa badaga ga: muga: dadiga gele fodole gala: be defele, galagamu.
30 So when the Lord has done for you, sir, everything good he promised, and has made you ruler over Israel,
Amola Hina Gode da dima amo noga: i hou huluane E ilegei amo hamone dagosea, amola di Isala: ili hina bagade hamoi dagosea,
31 you won't have feelings of remorse or a guilty conscience over unnecessary bloodshed or of taking your own revenge. And when the Lord has done these good things for you, sir, please remember me, your maidservant.”
amola di da dia hamobeba: le, dia asigi dawa: su ganodini se hame nabimu. Bai di da dabele dunu hame fai amola udigili hame fai. Amola Hina Gode da dima hahawane dogolegele hou hamoi dagosea, dafawane na amola mae gogolema.”
32 Then David said to Abigail, “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me today!
Da: ibidi da A: biga: ilema amane sia: i, “Hina Godema nodoma! Isala: ili Gode da wali eso di nama asunasiba: le, Ema nodomu da defea.
33 May you be rewarded for your wise decisions, for preventing me from shedding blood today and taking my own revenge.
Di da wali eso noga: le dawa: beba: le, noga: le hamoi. Na da wadela: i medole legesu hou amola dabe medole legesu hou dawa: i galu. Be di da amo logo hedofaiba: le, na Godema nodosa.
34 On the contrary, as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, who has kept me from harming you, if you hadn't rushed to meet me, then definitely not a single one of Nabal's men would have been left alive by dawn.”
Na dima se imunusa: dawa: i. Be Hina Gode da amo logo hedofai. Be na Esalebe Isala: ili Gode amo Ea Dioba: le amane dafawane sia: sa. Di da hedolowane nama doaga: musa: hame misi ganiaba, hahabe galu Na: iba: le ea dunu huluane da bogogia: i dagoi ba: la: loba.”
35 David accepted from Abigail what she had brought him, and told her, “You may go home in peace, because I agree with your advice and grant your request.”
Amalalu, Da: ibidi da A: biga: ile ea gaguli misi liligi amo lai. E ema amane sia: i, “Dina: diasuga buhagima. Amola mae dawa: ma! Na dia hanai defele hamomu.”
36 When Abigail got back home to Nabal, he was in the house, partying like a king. He was feeling very merry, and he was very drunk. So she didn't tell him anything until the morning.
A: biga: ile da Na: iba: lema buhagi. E da lolo nabe amo hina bagade ea lolo nabe defele nanebe ba: i. E da feloai amola hahawane galu. Amaiba: le, A:biga: ile e da ea hamoi ema mae adole, golale hahabe fawane adoi.
37 When Nabal had sobered up the next morning, his wife told him what had happened. When he heard what she had to say he had a heart attack and was paralyzed.
Amalalu, e da feloai gumibiba: le, A:biga: ile e da liligi huluane ema adodole i. Na: iba: le da bagade olole, da: i hulu gadoi dagoi ba: i.
38 About ten days later the Lord struck Nabal down and he died.
Eso nabuyane baligili, Hina Gode da Na: iba: le fane, e bogoi.
39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise the Lord who has supported me against Nabal's insult and has kept me from doing evil. For the Lord made Nabal's wickedness fall back on himself.” Then David sent a message to Abigail, asking for her to marry him.
Da: ibidi da Na: iba: le bogoi nababeba: le, amane sia: i, “Hina Godema nodosa! Na: iba: le da nama sisa: nobeba: le, Hina Gode da ema dabe i. Amola, na Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu, na da wadela: le mae hamoma: ne E da gaga: i. Hina Gode da Na: iba: le hina: wadela: i houga se iasi.” Amalalu, Da: ibidi da A: biga: ile lama: ne sia: sia: si.
40 When David's men arrived at Carmel, they said to Abigail, “David has sent us to you to bring you back to become his wife.”
Da: ibidi ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilia da Gamele amoga asili, A:biga: ilema amane sia: i, “Da: ibidi da di lamu sia: beba: le, e da ninia di lala masa: ne asunasi.”
41 She stood up, then bowed down low, and said, “I am David's maidservant. I am prepared to serve and to wash the feet of my master's servants.”
A: biga: ile da osoboa beguduli, amane sia: i, “Na da ea hawa: hamosu uda. Na da ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilia emo dodofemusa: momageiwane esala.”
42 Abigail quickly got on a donkey and, with her five female servants, went back with David's men and became his wife.
E da hedolo wa: legadole, ea dougi da: iya fila heda: i. E amola ea hawa: hamosu a: fini biyale gala, da Da: ibidi ea hawa: hamosu dunu ili bisili asili, amola Da: ibidi ema fi.
43 David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel. So they both were his wives.
Da: ibidi da musa: Ahinoua: me (Yeseliele uda) amo lai galu, amola waha da A: biga: ile amowane ea uda hamoi.
44 However, Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Paltiel, son of Laish. He was from Gallim.
Amabe galuwane, Solo da ea uda mano Ma: iga: le amo da Da: ibidi igili i galobawane, bu Ba: ladai (Ga: lime moilai dunu La: ise, amo egefe) amogili i galu.
