1 Samuel 25

1 And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

Na ka mate a Hamuera, a ka huihui a Iharaira katoa ki te tangi ki a ia, a tanumia iho ia ki tona whare ki Rama. Na ka whakatika a Rawiri, a haere ana ki te koraha o 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.

A i Maono tetahi tangata, kei Karamere ona taonga; he nui rawa taua tangata, e toru mano ana hipi, kotahi mano nga koati: heoi kei te kutikuti tera i ana hipi ki Karamere.

3 Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

Na ko te ingoa o taua tangata ko Napara, ko Apikaira hoki te ingoa o tana wahine; a he pai nga whakaaro o te wahine, he mata ataahua ano hoki: he pakeke ia te tane, i kino hoki ana mahi; no te whare ano ia o Karepe.

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

A ka rongo a Rawiri i te koraha kei te kutikuti a Napara i ana hipi.

5 And David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:

Ka unga etahi taitama e Rawiri, kotahi tekau; i mea hoki a Rawiri ki nga taitama, Haere ki runga ki Karamere, a ka tae ki a Napara, ka oha ki ai ia, me te whakahua ano i toku ingoa:

6 And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be to all that thou hast.

A kia penei ta koutou ki atu ki taua tangata e noho ora mai nei, Kia mau te rongo ki a koe, kia mau te rongo ki tou whare, kia mau te rongo ki au mea katoa.

7 And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds who were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there any thing missing to them, all the while they were in Carmel.

Na kua rongo nei ahau he kaikutikuti au: na, au hepara i a matou ra, kihai ratou i ahatia e matou, kihai rawa hoki tetahi o a ratou mea i ngaro i nga ra katoa o ratou ki Karamere.

8 Ask thy young men, and they will show thee. Therefore let the young men find favour in thy eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatever cometh to thy hand to thy servants, and to thy son David.

Mau e ui ki au taitama, a ka korerotia e ratou ki a koe. Na kia manakohia nga taitama na e koe; kua tae mai hoki matou i te ra pai. Tena, homai ta tou ringa i tupono ai ki au pononga, ki tau tama hoki, ki a Rawiri.

9 And when David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal in the name of David, according to all these words, and ceased.

Na, i te taenga o nga tangata a Rawiri, korerotia ana e ratou enei kupu katoa ki a Napara, me te whakahua ano i te ingoa o Rawiri, a heoi ano ta ratou.

10 And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants in these days that break away every man from his master.

Na ka utu a Napara ki ta nga tangata a Rawiri, ka mea, Ko wai a Rawiri? ko wai hoki te tama a Hehe? he tini nga pononga i enei ra e tahuri ana i o ratou rangatira.

11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men, whom I know not from where they are?

Me tango koia e ahau taku taro, toku wai, me aku mea hoki i patua nei e ahau ma aku kaikutikuti, me hoatu ma nga tangata kahore nei i mohiotia e ahau no hea ranei ratou?

12 So David’s young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all these sayings.

Na ka tahuri nga tangata a Rawiri ki to ratou ara, a hoki ana, haere ana, korerotia ana e ratou ki a ia enei mea katoa.

13 And David said to 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.

Na ka mea a Rawiri ki ana tangata, Whitikiria a koutou hoari, e tenei, e tenei. Na whitikiria ana e ratou tana hoari, tana hoari; i whitiki ano a Rawiri i tana hoari. Na ka haere ki runga, ka whai i a Rawiri: tata tonu aua tangata ki te wha nga rau; e rua hoki nga rau i noho ki nga taonga.

14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master; and he railed at them.

Otiia ka korero tetahi o nga taitama ki a Apikaira wahine a Napara ka mea, Nana, i tona mai etahi tangata e Rawiri i te koraha, ki te oha ki to matou rangatira; heoi whakatupehupehu ana ia ki a ratou.

15 But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:

Otiia pai rawa aua tangata ki a matou, kihai hoki i aha ki a matou, kihai ano i ngaro tetahi mea a matou i nga ra katoa i haereere tahi ai matou me ratou, i a matou ra i te parae.

16 They were a wall to us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

He taiepa ratou ki a matou i te po, i te ao, i nga ra katoa i tata ai matou ki a ratou, i a matou e tiaki ana i nga hipi.

17 Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a worthless man, that a man cannot speak to him.

Tena ra, mau e whakaaro, e titiro ki tau e mea ai; kua takoto hoki he kino mo to matou rangatira, ratou ko tona whare katoa: koia rawa hoki kia tama ia na Periara, kahore tetahi e ahei te korero ki a ia.

18 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of roasted grain, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.

Na hohoro tonu a Apikaira, maua atu ana e ia he taro e rua rau, he waina e rua nga ipu, he hipi e rima, he mea kua oti te taka, he kanga pahuhu e rima nga mehua, he tautau karepe maroke kotahi rau, he papa piki e rua rau, he mea whakawaha ki te kaihe.

19 And she said to her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.

Na ka mea ia ki ana taitama, Hoake ki mua i ahau; tena ahau te haere atu na i muri i a koutou. Kihai hoki i korerotia e ia ki tana tahu, ki a Napara.

20 And it was so, as she rode on the donkey, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.

Na i a ia e haere atu ana i runga i tona kaihe, a e heke atu ana i te wahi ruru o te maunga, na ko Rawiri ratou ko ana tangata e heke mai ana, e tika mai ana ki a ia; na pono tonu atu ia ki a ratou.

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 to him: and he hath repaid me evil for good.

Heoi kua ki a Rawiri, Maumau tiaki noa ahau i nga mea katoa a tenei koroke i te koraha, kahore rawa hoki tetahi o ana mea katoa i ngaro; na utua mai ana e ia te pai ki te kino.

22 So and more also do God to the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any male person.

Kia meatia tenei e te Atua ki nga hoariri o Rawiri me etahi mea ano hoki, ki te waiho e ahau o ana mea katoa i te aonga ake kia kotahi nei tamaiti tane.

23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and got off the donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,

Na, i te kitenga o Apikaira i a Rawiri, hohoro tonu ia, marere ana ki raro i te kaihe, tapapa ana i te aroaro o Rawiri, me te piko ano ki te whenua.

24 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thy hearing, and hear the words of thy handmaid.

Na ka takoto ia ki ona waewae, a ka mea, Hei runga i ahau, e toku ariki, hei runga i ahau te kino; na kia korero tau pononga wahine ki ou taringa, whakarongo mai hoki ki nga kupu a tau pononga.

25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this worthless man, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

Kaua te ngakau o toku ariki e mea ki tenei tangata a Periara, ki a Napara: ko tona ingoa hoki, ko ia, rite tahi: ko Napara tona ingoa; kei a ia ano te wairangi. Ko ahau ia, ko tau pononga wahine, kihai i kite i nga taitama a toku ariki i tonoa a ke ra e koe.

26 Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withheld thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thy own hand, now let thy enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

Na, e toku ariki, e ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana hoki tou wairua, i a Ihowa kau pupuri nei i a koe i te hara o te whakaheke toto, kei pa tou ringa ake ki te rapu utu, kia rite aianei ki a Napara ou hoariri, me te hunga e rapu ana i te he mo toku a riki.

27 And now this blessing which thy handmaid hath brought to my lord, let it even be given to the young men that follow my lord.

Na, ko tenei manaakitanga i kawea mai nei e tau pononga ki toku ariki, tukua kia hoatu ki nga taitama i raro i nga waewae o toku ariki.

28 I pray thee, forgive 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 hath not been found in thee all thy days.

Tena ra, whakarerea noatia iho te kino a tau pononga wahine; he mea kua takoto rawa ta Ihowa whakapumau i te whare o toku ariki; e whawhai ana hoki toku ariki i nga whawhai a Ihowa; a e kore e mau tetahi he ou i ou ra katoa.

29 Yet a man hath risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thy enemies, them shall he sling out, as from the middle of a sling.

Ahakoa whakatika mai tetahi tangata ki te whai i a koe, ki te rapu i tou wairua, heoi ka paiherea te wairua o toku ariki ki roto ki te paihere ora ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua; ko nga wairua ia o ou hoariri ka piua atu me te mea no waenga pu i te kot aha.

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 ruler over Israel;

A tenei ake, kei ta Ihowa meatanga ki toku ariki i nga mea katoa i korerotia e ia hei pai mou, a ka whakaturia koe e ia hei rangatira mo Iharaira;

31 That this shall be no grief to thee, nor offence of heart to my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.

Na, e kore tenei e waiho hei whakapouri mou, hei whakararu ranei mo te ngakau o toku ariki, ara tau whakaheke noa i te toto, te rapu ranei a toku ariki i te utu mona ake: e puta raia ta Ihowa pai ki toku ariki, na kia mahara ki tau pononga wahin e.

32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me:

Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Apikaira, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, nana nei koe i tono mai i tenei ra ki te whakatau i ahau.

33 And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, who hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with my own hand.

Kia whakapaingia ano tou whakaaro tika, kia whakapaingia ano koe, mou i pupuri i ahau i tenei ra i te hara o te whakaheke toto, i te rapu utu hoki a toku ringa ake.

34 For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, who hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any male person.

Na e ora ana a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, nana nei ahau i pupuri kei kino ki a koe, me i kahore koe i hohoro te haere mai ki te whakatau i ahau, ina, kihai i toe ki te awatea apopo teahi mea a Napara kia kotahi nei tamaiti tane.

35 So David received from her hand that which she had brought him, and said to her, Return in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

Heoi ka tangohia e Rawiri i tona ringa nga mea i kawea mai e ia ki a ia, a ka mea ki a ia, Haere i runga i te rangimarie ki tou whare: titiro, kua whakarongo nei ahau ki tou reo, kua whakapai hoki ki a koe.

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 drunk: therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

Na haere ana a Apikaira ki a Napara, a i te mea hakari tera i roto i tona whare, koia ano kei te hakari a te kingi, a koa ana te ngakau o Napara i roto i a ia, he nui hoki tona haurangi. Na kihai i korerotia e ia tetahi mea ki a ia, ahakoa iti, ahakoa rahi, a marama noa te ata.

37 But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine had left Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

A, i te ata i te mea ka kore atu te waina i a Napara, na korerotia ana e tana wahine ki a ia enei mea katoa; na mate iho tona ngakau i roto i a ia, heoi kua rite ia ki te kohatu.

38 And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.

A, ka tekau nga ra, ka patua a Napara e Ihowa, a ka mate.

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 his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and talked with Abigail, to take her to himself for a wife.

A, no te rongonga o Rawiri kua mate a Napara, ka mea ia, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa i tohe nei i te tohe ki a Napara mo toku tawainga; i pupuri nei i tana pononga kei kino, a whakahokia atu ana e Ihowa te kino a Napara ki runga ki tona matenga ake. Na ka tono tangata a Rawiri ki te korero ki a Apikaira, ki te tiki i a ia hei wahine mana.

40 And when the servants of David had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, David hath sent us to thee, to take thee to him for a wife.

A, i te taenga o nga tangata a Rawiri ki a Apikaira ki Karamere, ka korero ki a ia, ka mea, I tonoa mai matou e Rawiri ki te tiki mai i a koe hei wahine mana.

41 And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thy handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.

Na ka whakatika tera, a piko ana tona mata ki te whenua, ka mea, Tenei tau pononga hei pononga wahine, hei horoi i nga waewae o nga tangata a toku ariki.

42 And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon a donkey, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

Na hohoro ana a Apikaira, a whakatika ana, eke ana ki te kaihe; tokorima hoki ana kotiro i haere tahi me ia; na aru ana ia i nga karere a Rawiri, a ka waiho hei wahine mana.

43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.

I tangohia ano e Rawiri a Ahinoama o Ietereere; a ka waiho raua tokorua hei wahine mana.

44 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.

Heoi kua hoatu e Haora a Mikara tana tamahine, te wahine a Rawiri, ki a Parati tama a Raihi, o Karimi.
