1 Samuel 25
1 And he died Samuel and they gathered together all Israel and they mourned for him and they buried him at house his in Ramah and he arose David and he went down to [the] wilderness of Paran.
Basi Samweli akafa, nao Israeli wote wakakusanyika na kumwombolezea; wakamzika nyumbani kwake huko Rama. Kisha Daudi akateremka kwenye Jangwa la Maoni.
2 And a man [was] in Maon and business his [was] in Carmel and the man [was] great very and [belonged] to him sheep three thousand and one thousand goats and it was when sheared sheep his in Carmel.
Mtu mmoja huko Maoni, aliyekuwa na makao huko Karmeli, alikuwa tajiri sana. Alikuwa na mbuzi elfu moja na kondoo elfu tatu, aliokuwa akiwakata manyoya huko Karmeli.
3 And [the] name of the man [was] Nabal and [the] name of wife his [was] Abigail and the woman [was] good of insight and beautiful of appearance and the man [was] hard and evil of deeds and he ([was] a Calebite. *Q(K)*)
Jina la mtu huyo lilikuwa Nabali, naye mkewe aliitwa Abigaili. Alikuwa mwanamke mwenye busara na mzuri wa sura, lakini mumewe, ambaye alikuwa wa ukoo wa Kalebu, alikuwa mwenye hasira na mchoyo katika utendaji wake.
4 And he heard David in the wilderness that [was] shearing Nabal sheep his.
Daudi alipokuwa huko jangwani, akasikia kuwa Nabali alikuwa anakata kondoo manyoya.
5 And he sent David ten young men and he said David to the young men go up Carmel towards and you will go to Nabal and you will ask of him in name my to welfare.
Basi akatuma vijana kumi na kuwaambia, “Pandeni kwa Nabali huko Karmeli, mkamsalimie kwa jina langu.
6 And you will say thus to the living [one] and you peace and house your peace and all that [belongs] to you peace.
Mwambieni: ‘Amani iwe kwako! Amani iwe kwako pamoja na wa nyumbani mwako! Pia amani iwe pamoja na vyote ulivyo navyo!
7 And now I have heard that shearers [belong] to you now the shepherds who [belong] to you they have been with us not we have humiliated them and not it has been missing to them anything all [the] days of being they in Carmel.
“‘Nasikia kuwa huu ni wakati wa kukata kondoo manyoya. Wachunga mifugo wako walipokuwa pamoja nasi, hatukuwatendea mabaya na wakati wote waliokuwa huko Karmeli hakuna chochote chao kilipotea.
8 Ask own young men your so they may tell to you and let them find the young men favor in view your for on a day good we have come give! please [that] which it will find hand your to servants your and to son your to David.
Waulize watumishi wako nao watakuambia. Kwa hiyo uwatendee wema vijana wangu, kwani tumekuja wakati wa furaha. Tafadhali wape watumishi wako na mwanao Daudi chochote kitakachokuja mkononi mwako kwa ajili yao.’”
9 And they went [the] young men of David and they spoke to Nabal according to all the words these in [the] name of David and they rested.
Watu wa Daudi walipofika wakampa Nabali ujumbe huu kwa jina la Daudi. Kisha wakangojea.
10 And he answered Nabal [the] servants of David and he said who? [is] David and who? [is] [the] son of Jesse this day they are many servants who break away each one from before master his.
Nabali akawajibu watumishi wa Daudi, “Huyu Daudi ni nani? Huyu mwana wa Yese ni nani? Watumishi wengi wanakimbia kutoka kwa bwana zao siku hizi.
11 And will I take bread my and water my and slaughter my which I have slaughtered for shearers my and will I give [them] to men who not I know where? from this [are] they.
Kwa nini nichukue mkate wangu, maji yangu na nyama niliyochinja kwa ajili ya wakata manyoya wangu, na kuwapa watu ambao hakuna anayejua wanakotoka?”
12 And they turned round [the] young men of David to way their and they returned and they came and they told to him according to all the words these.
Watu wa Daudi wakageuka na kurudi. Walipofika, wakaarifu kila neno.
13 And he said David to men his gird on - everyone sword his and they girded on everyone sword his and he girded on also David sword his and they went up - after David about four hundred man and two hundred they remained with the baggage.
Daudi akawaambia watu wake, “Jifungeni panga zenu!” Basi wakajifunga panga zao, naye Daudi akajifunga upanga wake. Watu kama mia nne hivi wakapanda pamoja na Daudi, na watu mia mbili wakabaki na vifaa.
14 And to Abigail [the] wife of Nabal he told a young man one from the young men saying there! he sent David messengers - from the wilderness to bless master our and he shouted at them.
Mmoja wa watumishi akamwambia Abigaili, mkewe Nabali: “Daudi alituma wajumbe kutoka jangwani kumpa bwana wetu salamu zake, lakini akawavurumishia matukano.
15 And the men [were] good to us very and not we were humiliated and not we missed anything all [the] days [which] we went about with them when were we in the field.
Hata hivyo watu hawa walikuwa wema sana kwetu. Hawakututendea mabaya, na wakati wote tulipokuwa nje huko mashambani karibu nao, hatukupotewa na kitu chochote.
16 A wall they were with us both night as well as by day all [the] days of being we with them shepherding the flock.
Usiku na mchana walikuwa ukuta wakituzunguka wakati wote tulipokuwa tukichunga kondoo zetu karibu nao.
17 And now know and see what? will you do for it has been determined evil against master our and on all household his and he [is] a son of worthlessness from speaking to him.
Sasa fikiri juu ya jambo hili na uone unaweza kufanya nini, kwa sababu maafa yanakaribia juu ya bwana wetu na nyumba yake yote. Yeye ni mtu mwovu kiasi kwamba hakuna mtu awezaye kuzungumza naye.”
18 And she made haste (Abigail *Q(k)*) and she took two hundred bread[s] and two jars of wine and five sheep (prepared *Q(k)*) and five seahs of roasted grain and a hundred bunches of raisins and two hundred fig cakes and she put [them] on the donkeys.
Abigaili akafanya haraka, akachukua mikate mia mbili, viriba viwili vya divai, kondoo watano waliochinjwa vipimo vitano vya bisi, vishada mia moja vya zabibu kavu, mikate mia mbili ya tini, akavipakia juu ya punda.
19 And she said to servants her pass on before me here I after you [will be] coming and to husband her Nabal not she told.
Kisha akawaambia watumishi wake, “Tangulieni; mimi nitakuja nyuma yenu.” Lakini hakumwambia Nabali mumewe.
20 And it was she - [was] riding on the donkey and [was] going down in [the] cover of the mountain and there! David and men his [were] going down to meet her and she met them.
Ikawa alipokuwa amepanda punda wake kwenye bonde la mlima, tazama, Daudi na watu wake wakawa wanateremka kumwelekea, naye akakutana nao.
21 And David he had said surely to deception I have guarded all that [belongs] to this [man] in the wilderness and not it has been missing any of all that [belongs] to him anything and he has returned to me evil in place of good.
Daudi alikuwa amesema, “Ilikuwa ni kazi bure kuchunga kwangu kote mali za huyu mtu huko jangwani hivi kwamba hakuna chochote chake kilichopotea. Yeye amenilipa baya kwa ajili ya wema.
22 Thus may he do God to [the] enemies David and thus may he add if I will leave any of all that [belongs] to him until the morning [one who] urinates on a wall.
Bwana na amshughulikie Daudi, tena kwa ukali, ikiwa kesho asubuhi nitambakizia mwanaume hata mmoja aliye hai miongoni mwa watu wake wote!”
23 And she saw Abigail David and she made haste and she came down from on the donkey and she fell to [the] face of David on face her and she bowed down [the] ground.
Abigaili alipomwona Daudi, akashuka haraka kwenye punda wake, akainama kifudifudi uso wake mpaka nchi mbele ya Daudi.
24 And she fell at feet his and she said [be] on me I O lord my the iniquity and let her speak please maidservant your in ears your and hear [the] words of maidservant your.
Akamwangukia miguuni pake na kusema: “Bwana wangu, kosa hili na liwe juu yangu mwenyewe. Tafadhali mruhusu mtumishi wako aseme nawe. Sikia kile mtumishi wako atakachosema.
25 May not please he set lord my - heart his to [the] man of worthlessness this on Nabal for like name his [is] so he [is] Nabal name his and disgraceful folly [is] with him and I maidservant your not I saw [the] young men of lord my whom you sent.
Bwana wangu na asimjali huyo mtu mwovu Nabali. Yeye anafanana na jina lake; jina lake ni Mpumbavu, nao upumbavu huenda pamoja naye. Lakini kwangu mimi, mtumishi wako, sikuwaona hao watu waliotumwa na bwana wangu.
26 And now O lord my [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your that he has restrained you Yahweh from coming in blood and [from] delivering hand your you and now may they be like Nabal enemies your and those [who] seek against lord my evil.
“Basi sasa, kwa kuwa Bwana amekuzuia, wewe bwana wangu, kutokumwaga damu na kutolipiza kisasi kwa mikono yako mwenyewe, hakika kama Bwana aishivyo na kama uishivyo, maadui zako na wote wanaokusudia kumdhuru bwana wangu wawe kama Nabali.
27 And now the blessing this which he has brought maidservant your to lord my and it will be given to the young men who go about at [the] feet of lord my.
Nayo zawadi hii ambayo mtumishi wako amemletea bwana wangu, wapewe watu wanaofuatana nawe.
28 Forgive please to [the] transgression of maidservant your for certainly he will make Yahweh for lord my a house enduring for [the] battles of Yahweh lord my [is] fighting and evil not it will be found in you from days your.
Tafadhali samehe kosa la mtumishi wako, kwa kuwa Bwana kwa hakika ataifanya imara nyumba ya ufalme kwa bwana wangu, kwa sababu anapigana vita vya Bwana.
29 And he has arisen a man to pursue you and to seek life your and it will be [the] life of lord my bound up - in [the] bundle of the living with Yahweh God your and [the] life of enemies your he will sling out it in [the] midst of [the] hollow of sling.
Hata ingawa yuko mtu anayekufuatia kuuondoa uhai wako, usiruhusu baya lolote kuonekana kwako siku zote za maisha yako, uhai wa bwana wangu utafungwa salama kwenye furushi la walio hai na Bwana Mungu wako. Lakini uhai wa adui zako atavurumishwa kama vile jiwe kutoka kwenye kombeo.
30 And it will be that he will do Yahweh to lord my according to all that he has spoken the good on you and he will appoint you to ruler over Israel.
Bwana atakapokuwa ameshamtendea bwana wangu kila kitu chema alichoahidi kumhusu yeye na kumweka kuwa kiongozi wa Israeli,
31 And not it will become this - for you staggering and stumbling of heart for lord my and pouring out of blood without cause and to deliver lord my himself and he will do good Yahweh to lord my and you will remember maidservant your.
bwana wangu hatakuwa na dhamiri inayolemewa na mzigo kwa kumwaga damu kusiko na sababu, au kujilipizia kisasi yeye mwenyewe. Bwana atakapomletea bwana wangu mafanikio, umkumbuke mtumishi wako.”
32 And he said David to Abigail [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of Israel who he has sent you the day this to meet me.
Daudi akamwambia Abigaili, “Ahimidiwe Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli aliyekutuma kunilaki leo.
33 And [be] blessed discernment your and [be] blessed you who you have restrained me the day this from coming in blood and [from] delivering hand my me.
Ubarikiwe kwa uamuzi wako mzuri na kwa kunizuia nisimwage damu leo na kulipiza kisasi kwa mikono yangu.
34 And but [by] [the] life of Yahweh [the] God of Israel who he has restrained me from doing harm to you if - if not you had made haste (and you had come *Q(k)*) to meet me that except he has been left to Nabal until [the] light of the morning [one who] urinates on a wall.
La sivyo, hakika kama Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, aishivyo, ambaye amenizuia nisiwadhuru, kama usingekuja haraka kunilaki, hakuna hata mwanaume mmoja wa Nabali angeachwa hai kufikia mapambazuko.”
35 And he took David from hand her [that] which she had brought to him and to her he said go up to peace to house your see I have listened to voice your and I have lifted up face your.
Ndipo Daudi akapokea kutoka mkononi mwake kile alichokuwa amemletea, naye akasema, “Nenda nyumbani kwako kwa amani; nimesikia maneno yako na kukujalia ombi lako.”
36 And she went Abigail - to Nabal and there! [belonged] to him a feast in house his like [the] feast of king and [the] heart of Nabal it was good on him and he [was] drunk up to muchness and not she told to him anything small and great until [the] light of the morning.
Abigaili alipokwenda kwa Nabali, alikuwa ndani ya nyumba yake akifanya karamu kama ile ya mfalme. Naye alikuwa ana furaha nyingi, akiwa amelewa sana. Kwa hiyo Abigaili hakumwambia mumewe kitu chochote mpaka asubuhi yake.
37 And it was in the morning when had gone out the wine from Nabal and she told to him wife his the things these and it died heart his in inward part[s] his and he he became stone.
Basi asubuhi, Nabali alipokuwa amelevuka, mkewe akamwambia mambo yote, nao moyo wake ukazimia, akawa kama jiwe.
38 And it was about [the] ten the days and he struck Yahweh Nabal and he died.
Baada ya siku kumi, Bwana akampiga Nabali, naye akafa.
39 And he heard David that he had died Nabal and he said [be] blessed Yahweh who he has conducted [the] case of disgrace my from [the] hand of Nabal and servant his he has restrained from evil and [the] evil of Nabal he has turned back Yahweh on own head his and he sent David and he spoke with Abigail to take her for himself to a wife.
Daudi aliposikia kwamba Nabali amekufa, akasema, “Ahimidiwe Bwana, ambaye amenitetea shauri langu dhidi ya Nabali kwa kuwa alinitendea kwa dharau. Amemzuia mtumishi wake asitende mabaya na Bwana ameuleta ubaya wa Nabali juu ya kichwa chake mwenyewe.” Kisha Daudi akatuma ujumbe kwa Abigaili kumwomba awe mke wake.
40 And they went [the] servants of David to Abigail Carmel towards and they spoke to her saying David he has sent us to you to take you for himself to a wife.
Watumishi wa Daudi wakaenda mpaka Karmeli na kumwambia Abigaili, wakisema, “Daudi ametutuma kwako kukuchukua uwe mkewe.”
41 And she arose and she bowed down face [the] ground towards and she said here! maidservant your to a maid to wash [the] feet of [the] servants of lord my.
Akainama chini uso wake mpaka ardhini, akasema, “Mjakazi wako yuko hapa, tayari kuwatumikia na kuwanawisha miguu watumishi wa bwana wangu.”
42 And she made haste and she arose Abigail and she rode on the donkey and five maids her who walked to foot her and she went after [the] messengers of David and she became of him a wife.
Abigaili akainuka kwa haraka, akapanda punda wake, akihudumiwa na wajakazi wake watano, akaenda pamoja na wajumbe wa Daudi, naye akawa mkewe.
43 And Ahinoam he had taken David from Jezreel and they became also both of them of him wives.
Pia Daudi alikuwa amemwoa Ahinoamu wa Yezreeli, wote wawili wakawa wake zake.
44 And Saul he had given Michal daughter his [the] wife of David to Palti [the] son of Laish who [was] from Gallim.
Lakini Sauli alikuwa amemwoza Mikali binti yake, aliyekuwa mkewe Daudi, kwa Palti mwana wa Laishi, kutoka Galimu.
