1 Samuel 25
1 And Samuel dies, and all Israel is gathered, and mourns for him, and buries him in his house, in Ramah; and David rises and goes down to the wilderness 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 And [there is] a man in Maon, and his work [is] in Carmel; and the man [is] very great, and he has three thousand sheep and one thousand goats; and he is shearing his flock in 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 [is] Nabal, and the name of his wife [is] Abigail, and the woman [is] of good understanding, and of beautiful form, and the man [is] hard and evil [in his] doings; and he [is] a Calebite.
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 And David hears in the wilderness that Nabal is shearing his flock,
Nabal loh a tu a vok te David loh khosoek ah a yaak coeng.
5 and David sends ten young men, and David says to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, and you have come to Nabal, and asked of him in my name of welfare,
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 said thus to the living: And peace to you, and peace to your house, and peace to all that you have!
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 you have shearers; now, the shepherds whom you have have been with us, we have not put them to shame, nor has anything been looked after by them, all the days of their being 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 Ask your young men, and they declare [it] to you, and the young men find grace in your eyes, for we have come on a good day; please give that which your hand finds to your servants and to your son, to 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 the young men of David come in, and speak to Nabal according to all these words, in the name of David—and rest.
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 And Nabal answers the servants of David and says, “Who [is] David, and who [is] the son of Jesse? Have servants been multiplied today who are each breaking away from his master?
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 And have I taken my bread, and my water, and my flesh, which I slaughtered for my shearers, and have given [it] to men whom I have not known 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 the young men of David turn on their way, and turn back, and come in, and declare to him according to all these 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 says to his men, “Each gird on his sword”; and they each gird on his sword, and David also girds on his sword, and about four hundred men go up after David, and two hundred have remained by the vessels.
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 And one young man of the youths has declared [it] to Abigail wife of Nabal, saying, “Behold, David has sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our lord, and he flies on 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 tarha a cuk thil.
15 and the men [are] very good to us, and have not put us to shame, and we have not looked after anything all the days we have gone up and down with them, in our being in the field;
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 have been a wall to us both by night and by day, all the days of our being with them, feeding the flock.
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 And now, know and consider what you do; for evil has been determined against our lord, and against all his house, and he [is] too much a son of worthlessness to be spoken to.”
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 hurries, and takes two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep, prepared, and five measures of roasted grain, and one hundred bunches of raisins, and two hundred bunches of figs, and sets [them] on the 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 says to her young men, “Pass over before me; behold, I am coming after you”; and she has not declared [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 it has come to pass, she is riding on the donkey and is coming down in the secret part of the hill-country, and behold, David and his men are coming down to meet her, and she meets 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, “Surely in vain I have kept all that this [one] has in the wilderness, and nothing has been looked after of all that he has, and he turns back to 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 thus God does to the enemies of David, and thus He adds, if I leave of all that he has until the morning light—of those sitting on the 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 And Abigail sees David, and hurries and comes down from off the donkey, and falls on her face before David, and bows herself to the earth,
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 falls at his feet and says, “On me, my lord, the iniquity; and please let your handmaid speak in your ear, and hear the words of your handmaid.
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 Please do not let my lord set his heart to this man of worthlessness, on Nabal, for as his name [is] so [is] he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him; and I, your handmaid, did not see the young men of my lord whom you 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 and now, my lord, YHWH lives, and your soul lives, in that YHWH has withheld you from coming in with blood, and to save your hand from yourself—now let your enemies be as Nabal, even those seeking evil toward 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 And now, this blessing which your maidservant has brought to my lord—it has been given to the young men who are going up and down at the feet of 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 Please bear with the transgression of your handmaid, for YHWH certainly makes a steadfast house for my lord; for my lord has fought the battles of YHWH, and evil is not found in you [all] your days.
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 And man rises to pursue you and to seek your soul, and the soul of my lord has been bound in the bundle of life with your God YHWH; as for the soul of your enemies, He slings them out in the midst of 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 bangla a dong ni.
30 And it has been, when YHWH does to my lord according to all the good which He has spoken concerning you, and appointed you for 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 that this is not to you for a stumbling-block, and for an offense of heart to my lord—either to shed blood for nothing, or my lord’s restraining himself; and YHWH has done good to my lord, and you have remembered 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 says to Abigail, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who has sent you to meet me this day,
David loh Abigal te, “Ti hnin ah kai doe hamla nang aka tueih Israel Pathen BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai saeh.
33 and blessed [is] your discretion, and blessed [are] you in that you have restrained me this day from coming in with blood, and to restrain my hand to myself.
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 And yet, YHWH lives, God of Israel, who has kept me back from doing evil with you, for unless you had hurried, and come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal until the morning light, of those sitting on the 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 And David receives from her hand that which she has brought to him, and he has said to her, “Go up in peace to your house; see, I have listened to your voice, and accept 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 And Abigail comes to Nabal, and behold, he has a banquet in his house, like a banquet of the king, and the heart of Nabal [is] glad within him, and he [is] drunk to excess, and she has not declared anything to him, little or much, until the morning light.
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 And it comes to pass in the morning, when the wine is gone out from Nabal, that his wife declares these things to him, and his heart dies within him, and he has been as 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 it comes to pass [in] about ten days, that YHWH strikes Nabal and he dies,
Te dongah hnin rha tluk a om phoeiah Nabal te BOEIPA loh a boh tih duek.
39 and David hears that Nabal [is] dead and says, “Blessed [is] YHWH who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and His servant has kept back from evil, and YHWH has turned back the wickedness of Nabal on his own head”; and David sends and speaks with Abigail, to take her to himself for a 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 the servants of David come to Abigail at Carmel, and speak to her, saying, “David has sent us to you to take you to himself for a 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 she rises and bows herself—face to the earth—and says, “Behold, your handmaid [is] for a maidservant 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 hurries and rises, and rides on the donkey; and [there are] five of her young women who are going at her feet; and she goes after the messengers of David, and is to him for a 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 And David has taken Ahinoam from Jezreel, and they are—even both of them—for wives to him;
Jezreel kah Ahinoam te khaw David loh a loh tih, amih rhoi te a yuu la bok om rhoi.
44 and Saul gave his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Phalti son of Laish, who [is] of Gallim.
Tedae Saul loh a canu Mikhal, David yuu te Gallim lamkah Laish capa Palti taengla vik a paek pah.
