< 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.
Saamuʼeel ni duʼe; sabni Israaʼel hundi wal gaʼee isaaf booʼe; mana isaa kan Raamaa jirutti isa awwaalan. Kana irratti Daawit achii kaʼee gara Gammoojjii Phaaraanitti gad buʼe.
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.
Namni Maaʼoon kan Qarmeloos keessaa qabeenya qabu tokko akka malee sooressa ture. Innis reʼoota kuma tokkoo fi hoolota kuma sadii kanneen Qarmeloositti rifeensa irraa haadatu qaba ture.
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.
Maqaan isaa Naabaal, kan niitii isaa immoo Abiigayiilii dha. Isheen dubartii beektuu fi bareedduu turte; dhirsi ishee garuu addaggee fi hamaa ture; gosti isaas gosa Kaaleb.
4 David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
Daawit akka Naabaal Gammoojjii keessatti hoolota isaa irraa rifeensa haaddachaa jiruu ni dhagaʼe.
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.
Kanaafuu akkana jedhee dargaggoota kudhan erge; “Naabaal bira gara Qarmeloos dhaqaatii maqaa kootiin nagaa isa gaafadhaa.
6 Tell him, ‘Long life to you! Peace be to you! Peace be to your house! Peace be to all that you have!
Akkanas jedhaanii: ‘Bara dheeraa jiraadhu! Nagaan siif haa taʼu; nagaan maatii keetiifis haa taʼu! Waan ati qabdu hundaafis haa taʼu!
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.
“‘Ani amma akka yeroon kun yeroo itti hoolota irraa rifeensa haadan taʼe dhagaʼeera. Yeroo tiksoonni kee nu wajjin turanitti nu isaan hin miine; yeroo isaan Qarmeloos keessa turan guutuus wanni isaan qaban tokko iyyuu jalaa hin badne.
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.’”
Hojjettoota kee gaafadhu; isaan sitti himuutii. Kanaafuu waan nu yeroo gaarii dhufneef dargaggoota kootiif arjoomi. Maaloo tajaajiltoota keetii fi ilma kee Daawitiif waanuma amma harkaa qabdu kenni.’”
9 When David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal all those words in the name of David, and waited.
Namoonni Daawitis yeroo achi gaʼanitti maqaa Daawitiin dhaamsa kana Naabaalitti himanii deebii isaa eeggatan.
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.
Naabaalis tajaajiltoota Daawitiif akkana jedhee deebise; “Daawit kun eenyu? Ilmi Isseey kun eenyu? Yeroo ammaa tajaajiltoonni hedduun gooftota isaanii jalaa badaa jiru.
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?”
Egaa ani maaliifan buddeena koo, bishaan koo fi foon namoota hoolota koo irraa rifeensa haadaniif qale namoota eessaa akka dhufan hin beekamneef kenna?”
12 So David’s young men turned on their way and went back, and came and told him all these words.
Namoonni Daawitis of irra garagalanii deebiʼan. Yeroo deebiʼanittis waan hunda isatti himan.
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.
Daawitis namoota isaatiin, “Goraadee keessan hidhadhaa!” jedhe. Kanaafuu isaan goraadee isaanii hidhatan; Daawitis goraadee isaa hidhate. Namoonni gara dhibba afur taʼan Daawit wajjin deeman; namoonni dhibbi lama immoo miʼa biratti hafan.
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.
Tajaajiltoota keessaa inni tokko akkana jedhee Abiigayiil niitii Naabaalitti hime: “Daawit akka isaan gooftaa keenyaaf nagaa dhiʼeessaniif gammoojjiidhaa ergamoota ergee ture; inni garuu akka malee isaan arrabse.
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.
Taʼus namoonni kunneen nuuf baayʼee gaarii turan. Isaan nu hin miine; yeroo isaan wajjin bosona turre hundas wanti tokko iyyuu nu jalaa hin badne.
16 They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
Yeroo nu hoolota keenya isaan bira tiksaa turre hunda isaan halkanii fi guyyaa dallaa nuu taʼanii turan.
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.”
Sababii gooftaa keenyaa fi guutummaa mana isaa balaan marseef ati amma waan gochuu dandeessu yaadi. Sababii inni nama hamaa akkanaa taʼeef namni tokko iyyuu isatti dubbachuu hin dandaʼu.”
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.
Abiigayiil yeroo hin balleessine. Isheen buddeena dhibba lama, daadhii wayinii qalqalloo lama; hoolota qalmaaf qopheeffaman shan, akaayii safartuu shan, maxinoo ija wayinii dhibba tokkoo fi maxinoo ija harbuu dhibba lama fudhattee harreetti feʼatte.
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.
Ergasii tajaajiltoota isheetiin, “Na dursaatii deemaa; ani isinan qaqqaba” jette. Garuu dhirsa ishee Naabaalitti hin himne.
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.
Utuma isheen harree yaabbattee tulluudhaan daʼattee gad buʼaa jirtuu Daawitii fi namoonni isaa isheetti dhufan; isheenis isaan simatte.
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.
Daawit akkana jedhee ture; “Ani akka wanni inni qabu tokko illee jalaa hin badneef gammoojjiitti qabeenya namicha kanaa eeguun koo gatii dhabeera. Inni waan gaarii ani isaaf godheef waan hamaa naaf deebiseera.
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.”
Yoo ani bori ganama waan kan isaa taʼe keessaa dhiira tokko illee lubbuun hambise, Waaqni Daawitin haa adabu; adabbiin sunis akka malee haa cimu!”
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.
Abiigayiil yeroo Daawitin argitetti daftee harree ishee irraa buutee adda isheetiin fuula Daawit duratti lafatti gombifamtee sagadde.
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.
Isheenis miilla isaa irratti kuftee akkana jette: “Yaa gooftaa ko, balleessaan hundi ana qofa irra haa jiraatu. Maaloo akka garbittiin kee sitti dubbattu eeyyamiif; waan garbittiin kee dubbachuu barbaaddus dhagaʼi.
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.
Gooftaan koo waaʼee namicha hamaa sanaa waaʼee Naabaal homaattuu hin hedin. Inni akkuma maqaa isaa ti; hiikkaan maqaa isaas gowwaa jechuu dha. Gowwummaanis isa wajjin jira. Ani garbittiin kee garuu namoota gooftaan koo erge sana hin argine.
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.
Akka ati dhiiga hin dhangalaafnee fi akka harka keetiin haaloo hin baafne Waaqayyo si eegeera; dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa; duʼa kee ti; diinonni keetii fi warri gooftaa koo miidhuu barbaadan hundi akkuma Naabaal haa taʼan.
27 Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.
Kennaan garbittiin kee gooftaa kootiif fidde kunis namoota si duukaa buʼaniif haa kennamu.
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.
“Waan gooftaan koo lola Waaqayyoo loluuf Waaqayyo gooftaa kootiif dhugumaan mootummaa bara baraa ni dhaabaatii. Maaloo balleessaa garbittii keetii dhiisiif. Bara jireenya keetii keessas yakki tokko iyyuu sirratti hin argamin.
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.
Eenyu iyyuu lubbuu kee balleessuuf jedhee si ariʼu illee, lubbuun gooftaa koo waldaa jiraattotaa keessatti Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiin ni eegamti. Inni garuu akkuma waan wiirtuu furrisa keessaa furrifamuutti lubbuu diina keetii furrisee ni darbata.
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,
Yeroo Waaqayyo akkuma gooftaa kootiif waadaa gale sanatti waan gaarii hunda godheefii Israaʼel irratti hoogganaa godhee isa muudutti,
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.”
gooftaan koo sababii yakka malee dhiiga dhangalaasuutiin yookaan sababii haaloo baafachuutiin waan isa gaabbisiisu yookaan waan qalbii isaa tuqu tokko illee hin qabaatin. Yeroo Waaqayyo Waaqni kee gooftaa kootiif waan gaarii godhutti garbittii kee yaadadhu.”
32 David said to Abigail, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me!
Daawitis Abiigayiiliin akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel inni akka ati harʼa na argituuf natti si erge haa eebbifamu.
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.
Ati sababii harʼa gorsa gaarii naa kennitee dhiiga dhangalaasuu fi harkuma kootiin haaloo baafachuu irraa na deebifteef eebbifami.
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.”
Dhugaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel kan isin miidhuu na dhowwe jiraataa sanaa, utuu ati daftee na arguuf dhufuu baattee silaa ilmaan Naabaal keessaa dhiirri tokko iyyuu hamma lafti bariitutti hin hambifamu ture.”
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.”
Daawitis ergasii waan isheen isaaf fidde sana harka ishee irraa fuudhatee, “Nagaan gali. Ani waan ati jette dhagaʼeera; gaaffii kees fudhadheera” jedhe.
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.
Yeroo Abiigayiil gara Naabaal dhaqxetti, inni mana isaatti cidha akkuma cidha mootii tokkoo qopheessee ture. Innis gammachuudhaan guutamee akka malee machaaʼee ture. Kanaafuu isheen hamma lafti bariitutti waan tokko illee isatti hin himne.
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.
Ganama sanas yeroo machiin Naabaal irraa galetti niitiin isaa waan kana hunda itti himte; onneen isaas ni dhaabatte; innis akkuma dhagaa taʼe.
38 About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal, so that he died.
Bultii kudhan booddee Waaqayyo Naabaalin dhaʼe; innis ni duʼe.
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.
Daawitis yeroo akka Naabaal duʼe dhagaʼetti, “Waaqayyo isa arrabsoo Naabaal haaloo naaf baaseef galanni haa gaʼu. Inni garbicha isaa yakka hojjechuu dhowwee yakka Naabaal matuma isaatti deebiseeraatii” jedhe. Daawitis akka isheen niitii isaaf taatu gaafachuuf Abiigayiilitti ergaa erge.
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.”
Tajaajiltoonni isaas Qarmeloos dhaqanii Abiigayiiliin, “Daawit akka ati isaaf niitii taatuuf akka nu isatti si geessinuuf sitti nu erge” jedhan.
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.”
Isheenis adda isheetiin lafatti gombifamtee, “Garbittiin kee kunoo ti; ani si tajaajiluu fi miilla tajaajiltoota gooftaa koo dhiquuf qophaaʼeera” jette.
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.
Abiigayiilis daftee harree yaabbattee tajaajiltoota ishee dubara shan qabattee ergamoota Daawit wajjin deebitee dhaqxee Daawitiif niitii taate.
43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they both became his wives.
Akkasumas Daawit biyya Yizriʼeel keessaa Ahiinooʼamin fuudhe; lamaan isaanii iyyuu niitota taʼaniif.
44 Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
Saaʼol garuu Miikaal intala isaa kan niitii Daawit turte sana Phaltiiʼeel ilma Laayish kan lammii Galiim ture sanatti heerumsiise.
