1 Samuel 25
1 Now Samuel died. All Israel gathered together and mourned for him, and they buried him in his house at Ramah. Then David rose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
Samuel el misa, ac mwet Israel nukewa tukeni nu sie ac asor kacl. Na elos piknilya in acn sel in Ramah. Tukun ma inge, David el som nu yen mwesis in Paran.
2 There was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel. The man was very wealthy. He had three thousand sheep and one thousand goats. He was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
Oasr sie mukul in acn Maon su oasr acn lal in acn Carmel. Mwet se inge el arulana kasrup. Oasr tolu tausin sheep natul, ac sie tausin nani. In pacl se inge el muta Carmel ac kalkul sheep natul.
3 The man's name was Nabal, and the name of his wife was Abigail. The woman was intelligent and beautiful in appearance. But the man was harsh and evil in his dealings. He was a descendant of the house of Caleb.
Inen mukul se inge pa Nabal, ac mutan kial ah pa Abigail. Mutan se inge el lalmwetmet ac oasku, a mukul sac el mwet na kou ac likkeke se. El ma in sou lal Caleb.
4 David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
Ke David el muta yen mwesis uh, el lohng lah Nabal el kalkul sheep natul,
5 So David sent ten young men. David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
na David el supwala mukul fusr singoul nu Carmel, ac sap elos in sokol Nabal, ac us lung lal nu sel.
6 You will say to him, 'Live in prosperity. Peace to you and peace to your house, and peace be to all that you have.
David el sapkin tuh elos in fahk ouinge nu sel Nabal, “David el paing kom, ac el mu kut in tuh fahk lung lal nu sum ac sou lom, ac ma lom nukewa.
7 I hear that you have shearers. Your shepherds have been with us, and we did them no harm, and they missed nothing the whole time they were in Carmel.
El lohng lah kom kalkul sheep, ac el ke kom in etu lah mwet lom ma liyaung sheep nutum elos tuh muta yorosr, ac wangin kutena ma koluk kut oru nu selos. Kut tia pisre kutena ma lalos ke elos muta yorosr in acn Carmel.
8 Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Now let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we have come on a festive day. Please give whatever you have on hand to your servants and to your son David.'”
Kom ku in siyuk selos ac elos fah fahk. Kut tuku ke len in kufwa se, ac David el siyuk tuh kom in kulang nu sesr. Nunak munas, kasrekut ke ma kom ku in se nu sesr ac nu sel David, mwet kawuk lom.”
9 When David's young men arrived, they said all of this to Nabal on David's behalf and then waited.
Mwet lal David elos tafwela kas inge nu sel Nabal ke inel David, na elos mutana soano.
10 Nabal answered David's servants, “Who is David, and who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants these days who are breaking away from their masters.
Ke Nabal el topuk el fahk, “Su David? Su mwet sacn? Nga soenna lohng ke mwet se ingan! In len inge pukanten mwet kohs kaingelik in facl se inge!
11 Should I take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who come from I do not know where?”
Nga tia ku in sang bread ac kof ac ikwa ma nga akoo nu sin mwet kalkul sheep nutik uh nu sin mwet su nga tia etu lah elos tuku ya me!”
12 So David's young men turned away and came back, and told him everything that was said.
Na mwet lal David elos folokla ac fahkang nu sel ma Nabal el fahk ah.
13 David said to his men, “Every man strap on his sword.” So every man strapped on his sword. David also strapped on his sword. About four hundred men followed after David, and two hundred stayed by the baggage.
Ac David el sapkin nu sin mwet lal, “Losya cutlass nutuwos an!” Na elos nukewa oru oana el sapkin, ac David el oayapa losya cutlass natul, ac el us mwet angfoko lal som, ac filiya mwet luofoko in muta liyaung ma lalos.
14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife; he said, “David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master, and he insulted them.
Sie sin mwet kulansap lal Nabal el fahk nu sel Abigail, mutan kial, “Ku kom lohng? David el supwama kutu mwet utuk kas yen mwesis me nu yorol Nabal, in fahkak kas in painguk lal nu sel, tuh pa Nabal el kaskas kou nu selos.
15 Yet the men were very good to us. We were not harmed and did not miss anything as long as we went with them when we were in the fields.
Sruk David ac mwet lal elos tuh arulana wo nu sesr. Elos tiana orek lokoalok nu sesr, ac ke pacl nukewa ma kut muta yorolos inimae, wangin ma lasr pisrapasrla.
16 They were a wall to us both day and night, all the while we were with them tending the sheep.
Ke lusen pacl kut muta inmasrlolos ac liyaung sheep natusr uh, elos tuh karingin kut len ac fong.
17 Therefore know this and consider what you will do, for evil is plotted against our master, and against his whole house. He is such a worthless fellow that one cannot reason with him.”
Nunak munas nunku ke ma inge, ac suk lah mea fal in orek. Lumah se inge ku in orala sie mwe fosrnga lulap nu sel Nabal ac nu sin sou lal nukewa. El arulana srangesroa, ac tia lungse lohng kutena mwet.”
18 Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves, two bottles of wine, five sheep already prepared, five measures of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.
Na Abigail el sulaklak na orani lof in bread luofoko, ac pak in wain luo nwanala, sheep lumko manman tari, foto luo in wheat manman, tun in grape pao siofok, ac cake fig luofoko, ac el sang ma inge nukewa nu fin donkey ekasr.
19 She said to her young men, “Go on before me, and I will come after you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
Na el fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal, “Komtal fahsr meet, ac nga fah fahsr tukumtal.” A wangin ma el fahk nu sin mukul tumal ah.
20 As she rode on her donkey and came down by the cover of the mountain, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them.
Ke el kasrusr fin donkey natul ah, el rauni kuru se sisken eol uh, na David ac mwet lal elos fahsru suwosma nu yorol.
21 Now David had said, “Surely in vain have I guarded all that this man has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him, and he has returned me evil for good.
David el tuh fahsr ac sifacna nunku insial, “Efu ku nga tuh liyaung ma lun mwet se ingan yen mwesis ah? Wanginna ma lal pisrapasrla. Ya pa inge molin kasreyuk luk nu sel uh?
22 May God do so to me, David, and more also, if by the morning I leave so much as one male of all who belong to him.”
God Elan uniyuwi nga fin tia uniya mwet ingan nufon meet liki lenelik!”
23 When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got down from her donkey and lay before David facedown and bowed herself to the ground.
Ke Abigail el liyalak David, el sa na srola liki donkey natul, ac faksufi nu infohk uh
24 She lay at his feet and said, “On me alone, my master, be the guilt. Please let your servant speak to you, and listen to the words of your servant.
sisken nial David, ac fahk nu sel, “Leum luk, nunak munas porongeyu! Lela tuh mwatan ma se inge in oan fuk ac tia oan facl Nabal.
25 Let not my master regard this worthless fellow, Nabal, 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 of my master, whom you sent.
Nunak munas, nimet nunku kacl Nabal, tuh el tia mwet pwaye! El mwet lalfon, oana kalmen ine se lal ah! Nga tuh wangin ke pacl se mwet kulansap lom tuku nu yorol ah.
26 Now then, my master, as Yahweh lives, and as you live, since Yahweh has restrained you from bloodshed, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now let your enemies, and those who seek to do evil to my master, be like Nabal.
LEUM GOD pa oru tuh kom in tia foloksak ac uniya na mwet lokoalok lom. Inge nga fulahk nu sum ke LEUM GOD moul lah mwet lokoalok lom, ac mwet nukewa su srike in akkolukye kom, fah kaiyuk elos oana Nabal.
27 Now let this present that your servant has brought to my master be given to the young men who follow my master.
Leum luk, nunak munas eis mwe lung ma nga use inge, ac sang nu sin mwet lom ingan.
28 Please forgive the trespass of your servant, for Yahweh will certainly make my master a sure house, because my master is fighting the battles of Yahweh; and evil will not be found in you so long as you live.
Leum luk, kom fah nunak munas, sisla koluk luk fin oasr kutena ma sufal nga oru. LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh kom in tokosra, ac oayapa fwil nukewa nutum, mweyen kom mweun ke mweun lal. Ac kom ac fah tia oru ma koluk ke lusen moul lom.
29 Though men rise up to pursue you to take your life, yet the life of my master will be bound in the bundle of the living by Yahweh your God; and he will sling away the lives of your enemies, as from the pocket of a sling.
Fin oasr kutena mwet lain kom, ku srike in unikomi, LEUM GOD lom El ac fah karinginkomyang, oana ke sie mwet el karingin mwe kasrup saok. A funu nu sin mwet lokoalok lom, El ac fah siselosla, oana ke sie mwet el sisla eot ke fuht natul.
30 Yahweh will have done for my master everything he promised you, and has appointed you leader over Israel.
Ac ke LEUM GOD El ac oru ma wo nukewa su El tuh wulela nu sum kac, ac oru tuh kom in tokosra fin Israel,
31 This will not be a staggering burden for you—that you have poured out innocent blood, or because my master attempted to rescue himself. For when Yahweh will do good for my master, remember your servant.”
na kom ac fah tia enenu in asor ku fosrnga mu kom tuh uniya mwet su wangin mwata, ku sifacna foloksak nu sin mwet. Ac ke pacl se LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kom, O leum luk, nga siyuk tuh kom in tia mulkinyula.”
32 David said to Abigail, “May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be blessed, he who sent you to meet me today.
Ac David el fahk nu sel, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD lun Israel, su supwekomme in osun nu sik misenge!
33 Your wisdom is blessed and you are blessed, because you have kept me today from bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand!
Kulo nu sin God ke nunak wo lom, ac ke ma kom oru misenge, tuh ma inge sruokyuwi liki nunak in akmas su nga tuh akoo tuh in mwe foloksak luk sifacna.
34 For in truth, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, he who has kept me from hurting you, unless you had hurried to come meet me, there would certainly have not been left to Nabal so much as one male baby by morning.”
LEUM GOD El ikolyuwi tuh nga in tia oru kutu ma koluk nu sum. Tuh nga fulahk ye mutun God moul lun Israel, lah kom funu tia sulaklak in tuku sunyu, lukun misa mukul nukewa lal Nabal meet liki lenelik lutu uh!”
35 So David received from her hand what she had brought him; he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house; see, I have listened to your voice and have accepted you.”
Na David el insewowo in eis ma mutan se inge use nu sel, ac el fahk nu sel, “Folokot nu lohm sum an, ac nimet kom fosrnga. Nga ac oru oana ma kom siyuk an.”
36 Abigail went back to Nabal; behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. So she told him nothing at all until the morning light.
Na Abigail el folokla nu yorol Nabal, su muta in lohm sel ac oru sie kufwa lulap, oana kufwa lun tokosra. El arulana sruhi ac pwar, oru Abigail el tiana fahk kutena ma nu sel nu ke lutu tok ah.
37 It came about in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things; his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.
Tukun Nabal el sarla liki sruhi lal, na Abigail el fahkang ma nukewa nu sel. In pacl sac mas se sikyak nu sel Nabal, ac manol nufon ulla, el kofla mukuikui.
38 It came about ten days later that Yahweh attacked Nabal so that he died.
Na len singoul ma toko, LEUM GOD El unilya Nabal ac el misa.
39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “May Yahweh be blessed, who has taken up the cause of my insult from the hand of Nabal and has kept back his servant from evil. He has turned Nabal's evil action back on his own head.” Then David sent and spoke to Abigail, to take her to himself as wife.
Ke David el lohng tuh Nabal el misa, na el fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD, tuh El foloksak nu sel Nabal ke sripen kaskas kou lal nu sik. Oayapa God El ikolyuwi, mwet kulansap lal, tuh nga in tia oru ma sufal. LEUM GOD El oru tuh koluk lal Nabal in putati facl sifacna.” Na David el supwala kas nu yorol Abigail in akkalemye lah el lungse payuk sel.
40 When David's servants had come to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her and said, “David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife.”
Mwet kulansap lal David elos som nu yorol Abigail in acn Carmel, ac fahk nu sel, “David el supwekutme in eis kom nu yorol, tuh kom in mutan kial.”
41 She arose, bowed herself with her face to the ground, and said, “See, your female servant is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my master.”
Na Abigail el faksufi ac fahk, “Nga mwet kulansap lal, ac nga akola in oul nien mwet kulansap lal.”
42 Abigail hurried and arose, and rode on a donkey with five servant girls of hers who followed her; and she followed David's messengers and became his wife.
Na el sulaklak na tuyak ac sroang nu fin donkey natul. El us mutan kulansap limekosr welul, ac elos wi mwet kulansap lal David som, ac el payukyak sel David.
43 Now David had also taken Ahinoam of Jezreel as a wife; both of them became his wives.
David el payuk sel Ahinoam, sie mutan Jezreel, ac inge el payuk pac sel Abigail.
44 Also, Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Paltiel son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
In pacl sac pacna Saul el eisalang Michal, acn se natul ma tuh payuk sel David ah, tuh elan payuk nu sel Palti wen natul Laish, sie mwet Gallim.
