1 Samuel 25
1 And Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
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, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats; and he was shearing his sheep 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 Now 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 form; but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
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 was shearing his sheep.
Ary ren’ i Davida tany an-efitra fa Nabala manety ny ondriny.
5 And David sent ten young men, and David said unto the young men: 'Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name;
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 ye shall say: All hail! and peace be both unto thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.
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 I have heard that thou hast shearers; thy shepherds have now been with us, and we did them no hurt, neither was there aught missing unto them, all the while 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 young men, and they will tell thee; wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes; for we come on a good day; give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thy hand, unto thy servants, and 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 And when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
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 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;
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 shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto 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 David's young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all 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 unto 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.
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 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying: 'Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he flew upon 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 But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields;
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 they were a wall unto us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
Izy no mandanay andro aman’ alina tamin’ ny andro rehetra nitoeranay niandry ondry tao aminy.
17 Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house; for he is such a base fellow, that 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 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on 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 unto her young men: 'Go on before me; behold, I come after you.' But she told not her husband Nabal.
Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny zatovony: Mandehana eo alohako, indro, izaho hanaraka anareo; nefa Nabala vadiny tsy mba nilazany.
20 And it was so, as she rode on her ass, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that, behold, David and his men came down towards 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 Now David had said: 'Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him; and he hath returned 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 God do so unto the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light so much as one male.' —
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 when Abigail saw David, she made haste, and alighted from her ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed down 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 And she fell at his feet, and said: 'Upon me, my lord, upon me be the iniquity; and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy handmaid.
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, regard this base fellow, even Nabal; for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and churlishness is with him; but I thy handmaid saw not the young men 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 Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from bloodguiltiness, and from finding redress for thyself with thine own hand, now therefore let thine enemies, and them that seek evil to my lord, be 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 this present which thy servant hath brought unto my lord, let it be given unto the young men that follow my lord.
Ary izao saotra nentin’ ny ankizivavinao aminao izao, tompoko, dia aoka homena ny zatovo manaraka ny Tompoko.
28 Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy handmaid; for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD; and evil is not found in thee all thy days.
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 though man be risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as from the hollow 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 come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that He hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee prince 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 that this shall be no stumbling-block unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord hath found redress for himself. And when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.'
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 Abigail: 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent thee this 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 discretion, and blessed be thou, that hast kept me this day from bloodguiltiness, and from finding redress for myself with mine own hand.
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 For in very deed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, liveth, who hath withholden me from hurting thee, except thou hadst made haste and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light so much as 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 So David received of her hand that which she had brought him; and he said unto her: 'Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.'
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 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 very drunken; wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until 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 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.
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 about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, so that he died.
Ary nony afaka hafoloana, dia nasian’ i Jehovah Nabala, ka dia maty izy.
39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said: 'Blessed be the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept back His servant from evil; and the evil-doing of Nabal hath the LORD returned upon his own head.' And David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him to 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 And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke unto her, saying: 'David hath sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to 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 bowed down with her face to the earth, and said: 'Behold, thy handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.'
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 Abigail hastened, 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.
Ary Abigaila nitsangana faingana ka nitaingina boriky, ary ankizivaviny dimy no nanaraka azy; dia nanaraka ny irak’ i Davida izy, ka dia novadiny.
43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they became both of them his wives.
Ary Davida efa nanambady an’ i Ahinoama avy any Jezirela koa; ary samy novadiny avokoa izy roa vavy.
44 Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
Fa Saoly efa nanome an’ i Mikala, zananivavy, vadin’ i Davida, ho vadin’ i Palty, zanak’ i Laisy, avy any Galima.
