< 1 Samuel 25 >

1 Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together and mourned for him, and buried him at his house at Ramah. Then David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
Nihomake t’i Samoele; le hene nifanontoñe ama’e t’Isra­ele nandala aze vaho nalenteke an-kiboho’e e Ramà ao. Niongak’ amy zao t’i Davide nizotso mb’am-patrambei’ i Parane mb’eo.
2 There was a man in Maon whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
Teo t’indaty e Moane ao, e Karmele añe ty vara’e; mpañaleale indatiy; telo arivo ty añondri’e naho arivo ty ose’e; ie nañitsike o añondri’eo e Karmele añe henane zay.
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail. This woman was intelligent and had a beautiful face; but the man was surly and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb.
I Nabale ty tahina’ indatiy naho Abigàle ty tahinan-tañan­jomba’e. Nahilala naho soa vintañe i rakembay, fe nigañe indatiy, lo-tsereke iaby ze sata’e; tarira’ i Kalibò.
4 David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
Jinanji’ i Davide am-patrambey añe te nañitsike o añondri’eo t’i Nabale,
5 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.
le nampihitrik’ ajalahy folo mb’eo t’i Davide, naho hoe ty namantoha’ i Davide i ajalahy rey: Mionjona mb’e Karmele mb’ amy Nabale mb’eo vaho añontaneo ami’ty añarako.
6 Tell him, ‘Long life to you! Peace be to you! Peace be to your house! Peace be to all that you have!
Le isaontsio ty hoe, Maha­veloñe, fañanintsiñe ama’o, fierañerañañe ami’ty anjomba’o naho himo­neñe soa iaby o vara’oo.
7 Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds have now been with us, and we didn’t harm them. Nothing was missing from them all the time they were in Carmel.
Tsinanoko aniany t’ie mañitsike. Tama’ay o mpiara’oo le tsy jinoi’ay, Leo raha raike tsy nipitsok’ am’ iereo amo hene andro naha te Karmele ao anay.
8 Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favour in your eyes, for we come on a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and to your son David.’”
Añontaneo o mpitoro’oo hitaliliy azo, Aa ehe te hahaoniñ’ ìsok’ am-pihaino’o o ajalahi’oo, kanao pok’eo añ’andro soa; ehe anoloro o mpitoro’oo naho amy Davide ana’oy ze miheo am-pità’o.
9 When David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal all those words in the name of David, and waited.
Aa ie nivo­trak’ eo i mpitoro’ i Davide rey, le linaño’ iareo amy Nabale i entañe zay ami’ ty tahina’ i Davide, ie nagado’ iareo
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.
le hoe ty natoi’ i Nabale amo mpitoro’ i Davideo, Ia ze o Davide zao? Ia ze o ana’ Iisay zao? Tsiefa ty mpitoroñe mipitsok’ amo talè’eo henaneo,
11 Shall I then take my bread, my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who I don’t know where they come from?”
aa vaho hangalàko hao o mofokoo, o ranokoo naho i hena vinonoko ho amo pañitsikooy vaho hatoloko ama’ ondaty tsy fohiñe te hirik’ aia?
12 So David’s young men turned on their way and went back, and came and told him all these words.
Aa le nitolike o ajalahi’ i Davideo, nimpoly vaho nitalilia’e iaby i saontsi’ey.
13 David said to his men, “Every man put on his sword!” 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.
Le hoe t’i Davide am’ ondati’eo: Songa mampidiàña fibara; nampidiañe fibara ka t’i Davide; le va’e ondaty efa-jato ty nionjoñe mb’eo ampañorihañe i Davide vaho nidok’ amo vara’eo ty roan-jato.
14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master; and he insulted them.
Ie amy zao, nitaroñ’ amy Abigale, tañanjomba’ i Nabale, ty ajalahy, ty hoe: Inao, nampihitrike boak’ am-patrambey añe hañontàne amy talè’aiy t’i Davide; f’ie nitabohazake an-keloke.
15 But the men were very good to us, and we were not harmed, and we didn’t miss anything as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields.
Toe nañasoa anay ondatio, tsy nijoie’e vaho ndra kede tsy nipok’ ama’ay sikal’ amy niharoa’ay am’ iareoy; izahay tan-kivok’ ao,
16 They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
le iereo ty nikijoli’ay handro an-kaleñe amo hene andro nitraofa’ay, izahay niarak’ o añondrio.
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.”
Aa le mahaoniña naho tsakoreo ty hanoe’o; fa hankàñe ty ho toly aman-talè’ay naho añ’anjomba’e, amy t’ie ana’ i Beliale vaho leo raike tsy mahafisaontsy ama’e.
18 Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two containers of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five seahs of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.
Nihepakepak’ amy zao ty Abigale, nandrambe mofo roan-jato naho zonjon-divay roe, naho ty henan’ añondry lime hinalankañe, naho famaran-tonon-tsako lime naho angarozam-baloboke maike zato naho garatòn-tsakoa maike roan-jato vaho najò’e am-borìke’e.
19 She said to her young men, “Go on before me. Behold, I am coming after you.” But she didn’t tell her husband, Nabal.
Le hoe re amo ajalahi’eo: Akia, miaoloa mb’eo, le horiheko, f’ie tsy nitalily amy Nabale vali’e.
20 As she rode on her donkey, and came down hidden by the mountain, behold, David and his men came down towards her, and she met them.
Ie amy zao niningi-borìke, nizotso mb’an-kalo’ i vohitsey mb’eo le ingo t’i Davide naho o mpiama’eo nifanojo ama’e le nigaoña’e.
21 Now David had said, “Surely in vain I have 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.
Ie vaho nanao ty hoe t’i Davide: Toe tsy vente’e ty nañambenako o fonga vara’ indatiy am-patrambey atoio, ie ndra raik’ amo fanaña’eo tsy nipoke, le hehe te raty ty navale’e ahy t’ie nisoàñe.
22 God do so to the enemies of 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.”
Aa ehe te hanoen’ Añahare amo rafelahi’ i Davideo naho mandikoatse izay naho eo ty hadoko amo azeo ampara’ te porea’ ty maraindray ze mamany an-kijoly iaby.
23 When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got off her donkey, and fell before David on her face and bowed herself to the ground.
Tendrek’ amy Davide amy zao t’i Abigale, le nizotso amy borìkey naho niba­bok’ aolo’ i Davide an-dahara’e vaho nidrakadrakak’ an-tane,
24 She fell at his feet and said, “On me, my lord, on me be the blame! Please let your servant speak in your ears. Hear the words of your servant.
nikorovok’ am-pandia’e nanao ty hoe: Anò amako talèko, ehe te ho amako o tahiñe zao, le ehe t’ie henga’o hivolañe añatrefa’o etoa; hijanjiña’o ty fivolan’ anak’ ampata’o.
25 Please don’t let my lord pay attention to 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, didn’t see my lord’s young men whom you sent.
Ehe tsy ho haoñen-talèko i tsi-jefa’e atao Nabale tia; fa i tahina’ey ro ie; hadagolàñe ty ama’e; fa naho izaho mpitoro’o ampela, tsy nitreako o mpitoron-talèko nampañitrife’oo.
26 Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, since the LORD 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.
Ie amy zao ry talèko kanao veloñe t’Iehovà naho veloñe ka ty arofo’o, oniñe te nisebañe azo t’Iehovà tsy homb’ etoa hampiori-dio, naho tsy hamale fate am-pità’o, le ee te hanahake i Nabale o rafelahi’oo vaho ze hipay hañoho-doza amy talèkoy.
27 Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.
Ingo ka ry talèko ty ravoravo nandese’ i mpitoroñ’ ampela’oy amy talèkoy; atoloro amo mpitoroñe mpiamy talèkoo.
28 Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the LORD’s battles. Evil will not be found in you all your days.
Miambane ama’o ehe apoho ty fiolà’ o mpitoroñ’ ampela’oo, fa toe hanoe’ Iehovà anjomba fatratse ty talèko amy te mpifanehak’ an-kotakotake ho a Iehovà i talèkoy, vaho mboe tsy nioniñe ama’o amo hene’ andro’oo ty hatsivokarañe.
29 Though men may rise up to pursue you and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord will be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies as from a sling’s pocket.
Aa ndra te niongake hañoridañe azo t’indaty hipay ty fiai’o, le ho rohizañe am-pandroñan-kavelo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ao ty fiai’o vaho hihiririñe mb’eo ty fiai’ o rafelahi’oo manahake t’ie boak’ an-korom-piletse.
30 It will come to pass, when the LORD has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you prince over Israel,
Ie amy zao, naho fa nanoe’ Iehovà iaby ty hasoa nitsarae’e azo, vaho ie fa nañory azo ho mpifelek’ Israele;
31 that this shall be no grief to you, nor offence of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When the LORD has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant.”
le ehe tsy ho boloko hampitsikapy azo o raha zao, tsy ho sirika añ’ arofon-talèko ao, t’ie nampio­rike lio tsy aman-tali’e, ke hamale fate am-bata’e ty talèko; aa naho fa nañasoa i talèkoy t’Iehovà, le tiahio o anak’ ampata’oo.
32 David said to Abigail, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me!
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Abigale: Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele; amy t’ie nirahe’e hifanalaka amako anindroany;
33 Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, who have kept me today from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.
rengèñe ka ty faharendreha’o, naho rengèn-drehe nitañ’ ahy tsy homb’eo hampiori-dio ndra hamale fate an-tañako.
34 For indeed, as the LORD the God of Israel lives, who has withheld me from harming 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.”
Fa ho nivata’e to, kanao veloñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele nanebañe ahy tsy hijoy azo, ami’ty falisa’o nifanalaka amako, te leo raik’ amo mpamany an-kijolio tsy ho nen­gañe amy Nabale ampara’ te porea’ ty handro.
35 So David received from her hand that which she had brought him. Then he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. Behold, I have listened to your voice and have granted your request.”
Aa le rinambe’ i Davide am-pità’e o nandese’e ama’eo, le hoe re ama’e. Mimpolia am-panintsiñañe mb’añ’ anjomba’o mb’eo; ingo fa hinaoko o feo’oo vaho ninòko ty fiatrefa’o.
36 Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, 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 until the morning light.
Nomb’ amy Nabale amy zao t’i Abigale; le hehe t’ie nanao sabadidake añ’anjomba’e ao; manahake ty sabadidam-panjaka; le nifale añ’ arofo’e t’i Nabale, amy t’ie nijike; aa le tsy nitalilia’e, ndra kede ndra maro am-para’ te porea’ ty maraindray.
37 In the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
Ie maraidraiñe, naho fa nijeañe amy Nabale i divaiy, te natalili’ i vali’e ama’e i raha rezay vaho nihomak’ am-po’e ao ty arofo’e, nijirigañe hoe vato.
38 About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal, so that he died.
Ie modo ty folo andro varàñe le linafa’ Iehovà t’i Nabale vaho nikoromake.
39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed is the LORD, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil. The LORD has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.” David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to himself as wife.
Aa naho jinanji’ i Davide te nibanitse t’i Nabale, le hoe re; Andriañeñe t’Iehovà, ie nañato ty ahy amy fañinjeañe am-pità’ i Nabaley, naho nitana’e tsy hanao raty ty mpitoro’e; vaho nafote’ Iehovà ami’ty añambone’ i Nabale o hatsivokara’eo, le nampañitrike saontsy amy Abigale t’i Davide t’ie hengae’e ho tañanjomba’e.
40 When David’s servants had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, to take you to him as wife.”
Aa ie nivotrak’ amy Abigale e Karmele ao o mpitoro’ i Davideo, le nisaontsie’e ty hoe: Nirahe’ i Davide ama’o zahay, handrorotse azo ho vali’e.
41 She arose and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, “Behold, your servant is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”
Niongak’ amy zao re, vaho naondre’e mb’ an-tane ty lahara’e nanao ty hoe: Oniño te mpitoroñe hanasa o fandiam-pitoro’ i talèkoio o anak’ ampata’eo.
42 Abigail hurriedly arose and rode on a donkey with her five maids who followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
Nihepa­kepak’ amy zao t’i Abigale naho niavotse le nijom-borìke reketse ty somondrara lime ho mpiama’e; le norihe’e o ira’ i Davideo vaho nanoeñe tañanjomba’e.
43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they both became his wives.
Nengae’ i Davide ka t’i Akinoame nte-Iezreele, le nivalie’e iereo roe.
44 Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
Fa natolo’ i Saole amy Faltý ana’ i Laise nte Galime i Mikale anak’ ampela’e, vali’ i Davidey.
