1 Samuel 25

1 Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Maon.

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 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 intelligent and beautiful, but the man was harsh and evil in his dealings; and the man was a Calebite.

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 David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

Ary ren’ i Davida tany an-efitra fa Nabala manety ny ondriny.

5 So David sent ten young men, and said to the young men, "Go 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 Thus you are to say to my brother, 'Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.

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, look, I have heard that you have shearers. Now your shepherds have been with us in the wilderness, and we did not hurt them, neither was there anything missing from 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 your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes; for we come in a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand, to your servants, and to your 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 So the young men came and spoke to Nabal according to all those words on David's behalf, but he behaved arrogantly.

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 Nabal answered David's servants, and said, "Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.

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 wine, and my meat that I have slaughtered for the shearers of my sheep, and give it to men who I do not know where they come from?"

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 David said to his men, "Every man put on his sword." So every man put on his sword. David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David; and two hundred stayed 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, "Look, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master; and he railed at 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 to us, and we were not hurt, nor did we miss anything 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 to 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 you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house; for he is such a worthless fellow that one can't 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 hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two bottles of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five measures of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.

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 She said to her young men, "Go on before me. Look, I come after you." But she did not tell her husband.

Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny zatovony: Mandehana eo alohako, indro, izaho hanaraka anareo; nefa Nabala vadiny tsy mba nilazany.

20 It was so, as she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that look, David and his men came down toward 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 has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. He has 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 to David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall."

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 When Abigail saw David, she hurried, and got off from her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground at his feet.

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 said, "On me, my lord, be the guilt; and please let your servant speak to you directly, and hear the words of your servant.

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 Please do not let my lord regard this worthless fellow, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, did not see the young men whom you sent.

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 YHWH lives, and as your soul lives, since YHWH has withheld you from blood guiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who 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 Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

Ary izao saotra nentin’ ny ankizivavinao aminao izao, tompoko, dia aoka homena ny zatovo manaraka ny Tompoko.

28 Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For YHWH will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of YHWH; and evil shall not be found in you all your 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 Though men may rise up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with YHWH your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies, 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 It shall come to pass, when YHWH has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and shall have appointed you 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 will have no cause of grief or a troubled conscience for my lord, that blood was shed without cause and that my lord has gained victory by his own hand. And when YHWH has done well with my lord, then remember your servant."

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 David said to Abigail, "Blessed is YHWH, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me.

Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Abigaila: Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Izay naniraka anao hihaona amiko androany.

33 Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, that have kept me this day from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my 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 indeed, as YHWH, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn't have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall."

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 to her, "Go up in peace to your house. Look, I have listened to your voice, and have granted your request."

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 Abigail came to Nabal; and look, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore 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 It happened 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 It happened about ten days after, that YHWH struck Nabal, so that he died.

Ary nony afaka hafoloana, dia nasian’ i Jehovah Nabala, ka dia maty izy.

39 And David heard, and he said, "Blessed is YHWH, who has taken my side in the matter of Nabal's insult, and has kept back his servant from evil. YHWH has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head." David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him as 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 When the servants of David had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, "David has sent us to you, to take you to be his 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 She got up and bowed herself with her face to the ground, and said, "Look, your servant is a lowly servant to wash the feet of your servants."

Dia nitsangana izy ary niankohoka tamin’ ny tany ka nanao hoe: Indro, aoka ny ankizivavinao ho mpanompo hanasa ny tongotry ny mpanompon’ itompokolahy.

42 Then Abigail got up quickly and rode on a donkey, and with five female servants following her; and she followed 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 both became 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 Mikal 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.
