< 1 Samuel 25 >
1 Samuel mourut. Tout Israël s’étant assemblé le pleura, et on l’enterra dans sa demeure à Rama. Ce fut alors que David se leva et descendit au désert de Paran.
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.
2 Il y avait à Maon un homme fort riche, possédant des biens à Carmel; il avait trois mille brebis et mille chèvres, et il se trouvait à Carmel pour la tonte de ses brebis.
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.
3 Le nom de cet homme était Nabal, et sa femme s’appelait Abigaïl; c’était une femme de bon sens et belle de figure, mais l’homme était dur et méchant dans ses actions. Il descendait de Caleb.
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)*)
4 David apprit au désert que Nabal tondait ses brebis.
And he heard David in the wilderness that [was] shearing Nabal sheep his.
5 Il envoya vers lui dix jeunes gens, auxquels il dit: Montez à Carmel, et allez auprès de Nabal. Vous le saluerez en mon nom,
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.
6 et vous lui parlerez ainsi: Pour la vie sois en paix, et que la paix soit avec ta maison et tout ce qui t’appartient!
And you will say thus to the living [one] and you peace and house your peace and all that [belongs] to you peace.
7 Et maintenant, j’ai appris que tu as les tondeurs. Or tes bergers ont été avec nous; nous ne leur avons fait aucun outrage, et rien ne leur a été enlevé pendant tout le temps qu’ils ont été à Carmel.
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.
8 Demande-le à tes serviteurs, et ils te le diront. Que ces jeunes gens trouvent donc grâce à tes yeux, puisque nous venons dans un jour de joie. Donne donc, je te prie, à tes serviteurs et à ton fils David ce qui se trouvera sous ta main.
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.
9 Lorsque les gens de David furent arrivés, ils répétèrent à Nabal toutes ces paroles, au nom de David. Puis ils se turent.
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.
10 Nabal répondit aux serviteurs de David: Qui est David, et qui est le fils d’Isaï? Il y a aujourd’hui beaucoup de serviteurs qui s’échappent d’auprès de leurs maîtres.
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.
11 Et je prendrais mon pain, mon eau, et mon bétail que j’ai tué pour mes tondeurs, et je les donnerais à des gens qui sont je ne sais d’où?
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.
12 Les gens de David rebroussèrent chemin; ils s’en retournèrent, et redirent, à leur arrivée, toutes ces paroles à David.
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.
13 Alors David dit à ses gens: Que chacun de vous ceigne son épée! Et ils ceignirent chacun leur épée. David aussi ceignit son épée, et environ quatre cents hommes montèrent à sa suite. Il en resta deux cents près des bagages.
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.
14 Un des serviteurs de Nabal vint dire à Abigaïl, femme de Nabal: Voici, David a envoyé du désert des messagers pour saluer notre maître, qui les a rudoyés.
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.
15 Et pourtant ces gens ont été très bons pour nous; ils ne nous ont fait aucun outrage, et rien ne nous a été enlevé, tout le temps que nous avons été avec eux lorsque nous étions dans les champs.
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.
16 Ils nous ont nuit et jour servi de muraille, tout le temps que nous avons été avec eux, faisant paître les troupeaux.
A wall they were with us both night as well as by day all [the] days of being we with them shepherding the flock.
17 Sache maintenant et vois ce que tu as à faire, car la perte de notre maître et de toute sa maison est résolue, et il est si méchant qu’on n’ose lui parler.
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.
18 Abigaïl prit aussitôt deux cents pains, deux outres de vin, cinq pièces de bétail apprêtées, cinq mesures de grain rôti, cent masses de raisins secs, et deux cents de figues sèches. Elle les mit sur des ânes,
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.
19 et elle dit à ses serviteurs: Passez devant moi, je vais vous suivre. Elle ne dit rien à Nabal, son mari.
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.
20 Montée sur un âne, elle descendit la montagne par un chemin couvert; et voici, David et ses gens descendaient en face d’elle, en sorte qu’elle les rencontra.
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.
21 David avait dit: C’est bien en vain que j’ai gardé tout ce que cet homme a dans le désert, et que rien n’a été enlevé de tout ce qu’il possède; il m’a rendu le mal pour le bien.
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.
22 Que Dieu traite son serviteur David dans toute sa rigueur, si je laisse subsister jusqu’à la lumière du matin qui que ce soit de tout ce qui appartient à Nabal!
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.
23 Lorsque Abigaïl aperçut David, elle descendit rapidement de l’âne, tomba sur sa face en présence de David, et se prosterna contre terre.
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.
24 Puis, se jetant à ses pieds, elle dit: A moi la faute, mon seigneur! Permets à ta servante de parler à tes oreilles, et écoute les paroles de ta servante.
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.
25 Que mon seigneur ne prenne pas garde à ce méchant homme, à Nabal, car il est comme son nom; Nabal est son nom, et il y a chez lui de la folie. Et moi, ta servante, je n’ai pas vu les gens que mon seigneur a envoyés.
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.
26 Maintenant, mon seigneur, aussi vrai que l’Éternel est vivant et que ton âme est vivante, c’est l’Éternel qui t’a empêché de répandre le sang et qui a retenu ta main. Que tes ennemis, que ceux qui veulent du mal à mon seigneur soient comme Nabal!
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.
27 Accepte ce présent que ta servante apporte à mon seigneur, et qu’il soit distribué aux gens qui marchent à la suite de mon seigneur.
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.
28 Pardonne, je te prie, la faute de ta servante, car l’Éternel fera à mon seigneur une maison stable; pardonne, car mon seigneur soutient les guerres de l’Éternel, et la méchanceté ne se trouvera jamais en toi.
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.
29 S’il s’élève quelqu’un qui te poursuive et qui en veuille à ta vie, l’âme de mon seigneur sera liée dans le faisceau des vivants auprès de l’Éternel, ton Dieu, et il lancera du creux de la fronde l’âme de tes ennemis.
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.
30 Lorsque l’Éternel aura fait à mon seigneur tout le bien qu’il t’a annoncé, et qu’il t’aura établi chef sur Israël,
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.
31 mon seigneur n’aura ni remords ni souffrance de cœur pour avoir répandu le sang inutilement et pour s’être vengé lui-même. Et lorsque l’Éternel aura fait du bien à mon seigneur, souviens-toi de ta servante.
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.
32 David dit à Abigaïl: Béni soit l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël, qui t’a envoyée aujourd’hui à ma rencontre!
And he said David to Abigail [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of Israel who he has sent you the day this to meet me.
33 Béni soit ton bon sens, et bénie sois-tu, toi qui m’as empêché en ce jour de répandre le sang, et qui as retenu ma main!
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.
34 Mais l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël, qui m’a empêché de te faire du mal, est vivant! Si tu ne t’étais hâtée de venir au-devant de moi, il ne serait resté qui que ce soit à Nabal, d’ici à la lumière du matin.
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.
35 Et David prit de la main d’Abigaïl ce qu’elle lui avait apporté, et lui dit: Monte en paix dans ta maison; vois, j’ai écouté ta voix, et je t’ai favorablement accueillie.
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.
36 Abigaïl arriva auprès de Nabal. Et voici, il faisait dans sa maison un festin comme un festin de roi; il avait le cœur joyeux, et il était complètement dans l’ivresse. Elle ne lui dit aucune chose, petite ou grande, jusqu’à la lumière du matin.
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.
37 Mais le matin, l’ivresse de Nabal s’étant dissipée, sa femme lui raconta ce qui s’était passé. Le cœur de Nabal reçut un coup mortel, et devint comme une pierre.
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.
38 Environ dix jours après, l’Éternel frappa Nabal, et il mourut.
And it was about [the] ten the days and he struck Yahweh Nabal and he died.
39 David apprit que Nabal était mort, et il dit: Béni soit l’Éternel, qui a défendu ma cause dans l’outrage que m’a fait Nabal, et qui a empêché son serviteur de faire le mal! L’Éternel a fait retomber la méchanceté de Nabal sur sa tête. David envoya proposer à Abigaïl de devenir sa femme.
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.
40 Les serviteurs de David arrivèrent chez Abigaïl à Carmel, et lui parlèrent ainsi: David nous a envoyés vers toi, afin de te prendre pour sa femme.
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.
41 Elle se leva, se prosterna le visage contre terre, et dit: Voici, ta servante sera une esclave pour laver les pieds des serviteurs de mon seigneur.
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.
42 Et aussitôt Abigaïl partit, montée sur un âne, et accompagnée de cinq jeunes filles; elle suivit les messagers de David, et elle devint sa femme.
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.
43 David avait aussi pris Achinoam de Jizreel, et toutes les deux furent ses femmes.

44 Et Saül avait donné sa fille Mical, femme de David, à Palthi de Gallim, fils de Laïsch.
