< I Samuel 25 >
1 Ita, natayen ni Samuel. Naguummong amin nga Israelita ket nagladingitda para kenkuana, ket intabonda isuna iti balayna idiay Rama. Kalpasanna, nagrubwat ni David ket simmalog a nagturong iti let-ang ti Paran.
Samuel died. Everyone in Israel gathered to mourn for him, and they buried him at his home in Ramah. David left and went to the Desert of Paran.
2 Adda maysa a lalaki idiay Maon, a dagiti sanikuana ket adda idiay Carmel. Nakabakbaknang daytoy a lalaki. Addaan isuna iti tallo ribu a karnero ken sangaribu a kalding. Pukpukisanna dagiti karnerona idiay Carmel.
A man from Maon was very wealthy. He had property in Carmel and owned one thousand goats and three thousand sheep. He was in Carmel shearing them.
3 Nabal ti nagan ti lalaki, ket Abigail ti nagan ti asawana. Nalaing ken napintas daytoy a babai. Ngem ti lalaki ket naranggas ken dakes ti pannakilangenna. Kaputotan isuna ni Caleb.
The man's name was Nabal, and his wife's name was Abigail. She was a wise and beautiful woman, but her husband was cruel and treated people badly. He was a descendant of Caleb.
4 Nadamag ni David idiay let-ang a pukpukisan ni Nabal dagiti karnerona.
David was in the wilderness, and he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.
5 Isu a nangibaon ni David iti sangapulo nga agtutubo a lallaki. Kinuna ni David kadagiti agtutubo a lallaki, “Sumang-atkayo idiay Carmel, mapankayo kenni Nabal, ket kablaawanyo isuna iti naganko.
So David sent ten of his young men and told them, “Go and see Nabal at Carmel. Greet him in my name, and say hello from me.
6 Ibagayonto kenkuana 'Agbiagka iti kinarang-ay, kappia koma ti adda kenka ken iti balaymo, ken adda koma kappia iti amin nga adda kenka.
Tell him, ‘I wish you a long life! Peace to you and your family, and may everything you do prosper.
7 Nadamagko nga adda dagiti para-pukis kadagiti karnerom. Kaduami dagiti para-pastormo, ket saanmi ida a dinangran, ken iti las-ud ti kaaddada ditoy Carmel, awan ti napukaw kadakuada.
Now I've heard that you are busy shearing. When your shepherds were with us, we didn't mistreat them, and nothing belonging to them was stolen all the time they were in Carmel.
8 Damagem dagiti agtutubo a tattaom, ket ibagada kenka. Ita, sapay koma ta maay-ayoka kadagiti agtutubo a tattaok, ta umaykaminto iti aldaw ti panagrambak. Pangngaasim ta mangtedka iti aniaman nga adda kenka kadagiti adipenmo ken iti anakmo a ni David.”'
Check with your men and they'll confirm it. Please be kind to my men, especially since we've come on this day of celebration. Please give whatever food you can to us and to your good friend David.’”
9 Idi simmangpet dagiti agtutubo a tattao ni David, imbagada amin daytoy kenni Nabal iti nagan ni David ket nagurayda.
David's young men arrived, gave Nabal this message from David, and waited for his reply.
10 Simmungbat ni Nabal kadagiti adipen ni David, “Siasino koma ni David? Ket siasino koma ti anak ni Jesse? Adu dagiti adipen kadagitoy nga al-aldaw nga itartarayanda ti apoda.
“Who does this ‘David, son of Jesse’ think he is?” Nabal replied. “Nowadays there are many servants on the run from their masters!
11 Rumbeng kadi nga alaek ti tinapayko ken ti danumko ken ti karne ti pinartik nga agpaay koma kadagiti para-pukis a tattaok, ket itedko dagitoy kadagiti immay a lallaki a saanko nga ammo no sadino ti naggapuanda?”
Why should I take the bread and water I've supplied, and the meat I've slaughtered for my shearers, and hand it over to these strangers? I don't even know where they're from!”
12 Isu a nagsubli dagiti agtutubo a tattao ni David, ket imbagada kenkuana amin a naibaga.
So David's men turned around and went back the way they came. When they got back they told David everything Nabal had said.
13 Kinuna ni David kadagiti tattaona, “Ibarekesyo ti kampilanyo.” Ket imbarikes ti tunggal maysa ti kampilanna. Imbarikes met ni David ti kampilanna. Agarup uppat a gasut a lallaki ti simmurot kenni David, ket nagtalinaed ti dua gasut a nangbantay kadagiti gargaretda.
“Everyone, put on your swords!” David ordered. They all put on their swords, and David did too. About four hundred followed David, while two hundred remained behind to guard their gear.
14 Ngem maysa kadagiti agtutubo a lalaki ti nangibaga kenni Abigail nga asawa ni Nabal; kinunana, “Nangibaon ni David kadagiti mensaherona manipud iti let-ang a mangkablaaw iti amomi, ngem pinabainanna ida.
In the meantime one of Nabal's men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, “David sent some messengers from the wilderness to bring greetings to our master, but he only insulted them.
15 Idinto ta nagimbag dagiti lallaki kadakami. Saandakami a dinangran ken awan ti aniaman a napukaw bayat a sumursurotkami kadakuada idi addakami kadagiti away.
David's men were always very good to us and they never mistreated us. All the time we were out in the fields with them nothing was stolen from us.
16 Arigna nga isuda ti nagbalin a padermi iti aldaw ken rabii, kadagiti gundaway a kaduami ida a mangay-aywan kadagiti karnero.
They were like a protective wall to us, both day and night, during the whole time we were with them looking after the sheep.
17 Isu nga utobem daytoy ket kitaem no ania ti maaramidmo, ta dakes ti naikeddeng para iti apomi, ken iti sangkabalayanna. Awan ti serserbina a tao ta awan ti siasinoman a makabael nga agkalintegan kenkuana.”
You should know what happened and consider what you should do about it. Disaster is about to strike our master and his whole family, but he's so obnoxious no one can talk sense into him!”
18 Nagdardaras ngarud ni Abigail ket nangala iti dua gasut a tinapay, dua a pagkargaan a lalat a naglaon iti arak, lima a napartin a karnero, lima a sukat nga iniruban a trigo, sangagasut a raay ti pasas, ken dua gasut a bibingka a naaramid iti igos, ket inkargana dagitoy kadagiti asno.
Abigail quickly gathered together two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five sheep already slaughtered, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred raisin cakes, and two hundred fig cakes, and then loaded everything on donkeys.
19 Kinunana kadagiti agtutubo a tattaona, “Umunakayon, ket sumarunoak kadakayo.” Ngem saanna nga imbaga daytoy iti asawana a ni Nabal.
She told her men, “Go on ahead. I'll follow you.” But she didn't say anything to her husband Nabal.
20 Iti isasakayna iti asnona a sumalog iti nalinged a paset ti bantay, simmalog ni David ken dagiti tattaona nga agturong iti ayanna, ket nasabatna ida.
As Abigail was riding her donkey through a mountain valley, she saw David and his men descending towards her, and she met them.
21 Ita, kinuna ni David, “Awan serserbi ti panangbanbantaymi iti amin nga adda iti daytoy a tao idiay let-ang, tapno awan ti mapukaw kadagiti amin a kukuana, ket ita dakes ti isupapakna iti kinaimbagko,
David had just been complaining, “So much for my protecting everything that belonged to this man in the wilderness! Nothing at all was stolen from him, and yet what does he do? Pay me back evil for good!
22 Sapay koma ta nalablabes pay aramiden ti Dios kaniak, a ni David, no inton bigat ket mangibatiak iti uray maysa a lalaki iti pamiliana.”
May God punish me very severely if I leave even a single one of his men alive by morning!”
23 Idi nakita ni Abigail ni David, nagdardaras isuna a dimsaag iti asnona ket nagrukob iti sangngoanan ni David.
When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off the donkey, and bowed before him, her face to the ground.
24 Nagrukob isuna iti sakaanan ni David ket kinunana, “Apok, siak laengen koma ti pabasolem. Pangngaasim ta palubosam koma nga agsao kenka ti adipenmo, ken denggem dagiti sasao ti adipenmo.
Falling at his feet in respect, she said, “Sir, I accept full responsibility for what's happened. Please listen to what I, your servant, have to say.
25 Saan koma nga ikankano ti apok daytoy awan serserbina a tao a ni Nabal, ta kas iti naganna, kasta met isuna. Nabal ti naganna, ken kinamaag ti adda kenkuana. Ngem siak nga adipenmo, saanko a nakita dagiti agtutubo a tattao ti apok, nga imbaonmo.
Please don't concern yourself with this worthless man Nabal. His name means ‘fool,’ and he is really foolish! As for me, your servant, I didn't even see the men you sent.
26 Isu nga ita, o apok, iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, ken iti naganmo, agsipud ta linappedannaka ni Yahweh iti panangpasayasaymo iti dara, ken iti panagibalesmo babaen kadagiti imam, ita, sapay koma ta dagiti kabusormo, ken dagidiay aggandat nga agaramid iti kinadakes iti apok, ket maitulad kenni Nabal.
Now, sir, as the Lord lives and as you live, the Lord has kept you from shedding blood and from taking your own revenge. Sir, may your enemies and those who want to do you harm be like Nabal.
27 Ket ita, alaem daytoy a sagut nga inyeg ti adipenmo nga agpaay iti apok, maitedkoma daytoy kadagiti agtutubo a lallaki a sumursurot iti apok.
Please accept this present that I, your servant, have brought to you, sir, and give it to your men.
28 Pangngaasim ta pakawanem ti nagbasolan ti adipenmo, ta awan duadua a patalgedento ni Yahweh ti apok a kas iti natalged a balay, gapu ta makirangranget ti apok kadagiti gubat ni Yahweh; ket awan ti makita a dakes kenka kabayatan ti panagbiagmo.
Please forgive any offense that I, your servant, have committed, for the Lord is sure to set up a dynasty for you that will last for a long time, because you, sir, fight the battles of the Lord. Wickedness should not be found in you as long as you live.
29 Ket uray adda dagiti tattao a mangbusor ken manganup kenka a mangpukaw iti biagmo, pagtalinaedennakanto latta a sibibiag ni Yahweh a Diosmo; ket arigna ipallatibongna dagiti kabusormo, a kas iti bato a naibala iti pallatibong.
If anyone pursues you and tries to kill you, then your life will remain bound up with those the Lord your God looks after, safe in his care. But he will throw away the lives of your enemies like stones from a sling.
30 Ket mapasamakto daytoy, inton maaramid ni Yahweh iti apok amin a naimbag a banag nga inkarina kenka, ken inton pagbalinennaka a pangulo iti Israel,
So when the Lord has done for you, sir, everything good he promised, and has made you ruler over Israel,
31 daytoy ket saanmonto a pagladingitan, wenno saanto a pagsakitan ti nakem ti apok, ta saanmo a pinagsayasay ti dara nga awan gapgapuna, ket saanka a nagibales. Ket inton ited ni Yahweh ti balligi iti apok, lagipem ti adipenmo.”
you won't have feelings of remorse or a guilty conscience over unnecessary bloodshed or of taking your own revenge. And when the Lord has done these good things for you, sir, please remember me, your maidservant.”
32 Kinuna ni David kenni Abigail, “Madaydayaw koma ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, a nangibaon kenka a sumabat kaniak ita nga aldaw.
Then David said to Abigail, “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me today!
33 Ket mabendisionan ti kinasiribmo, ken mabendisionanka koma, gapu ta inlisinak ita iti basol manipud iti panagsayasay ti dara, ken iti panagibalesko babaen iti imak.
May you be rewarded for your wise decisions, for preventing me from shedding blood today and taking my own revenge.
34 Ta ti kinapudnona, iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, a Dios ti Israel, isuna a nanglapped kaniak a mangdangran kenka, no saanka a nagdardaras a nangsabat kaniak, awan duadua nga awan koman ti nabati kenni Nabal nga uray maysa nga ubing a lalaki a nabigatan.”
On the contrary, as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, who has kept me from harming you, if you hadn't rushed to meet me, then definitely not a single one of Nabal's men would have been left alive by dawn.”
35 Inawat ngarud ni David manipud iti ima ni Abigail dagiti inyegna para kenkuana; kinunana kenkuana, “Agawidkan iti balayyo nga addaan kappia; kitaem, dinengngegko ti timekmo ket inawatka.”
David accepted from Abigail what she had brought him, and told her, “You may go home in peace, because I agree with your advice and grant your request.”
36 Nagsubli ni Abigail kenni Nabal; ket adda parambak nga inangayna iti balayna, kas iti parambak ti maysa nga ari; ket kasta unay ti ragsak ti puso ni Nabal, ta kasta unay ti bartekna. Isu nga awan a pulos ti imbagbaga ni Abigail kenkuana agingga a limmawagen iti kabigatanna.
When Abigail got back home to Nabal, he was in the house, partying like a king. He was feeling very merry, and he was very drunk. So she didn't tell him anything until the morning.
37 Ket napasamak nga iti kabigatanna, idi nausawanen ni Nabal, imbaga ti asawana kenkuana dagitoy a banbanag; naatake iti puso, ket nagbalin isuna a kasla bato.
When Nabal had sobered up the next morning, his wife told him what had happened. When he heard what she had to say he had a heart attack and was paralyzed.
38 Ket napasamak a kalpasan ti sangapulo nga aldaw, dinusa ni Yahweh ni Nabal isu a natay.
About ten days later the Lord struck Nabal down and he died.
39 Idi nadamag ni David a natayen ni Nabal, kinunana, “Madaydayaw ni Yahweh, a nangibales iti pannakaibabainko manipud iti ima ni Nabal, ket inlisina ti adipenna iti dakes. Ket ti dakes nga aramid ni Nabal ket insublina kenkuana.” Kalpasanna, nangibaon ni David kadagiti adipen ket imbagada kenni Abigail nga alaenda isuna tapno agbalin nga asawana.
When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise the Lord who has supported me against Nabal's insult and has kept me from doing evil. For the Lord made Nabal's wickedness fall back on himself.” Then David sent a message to Abigail, asking for her to marry him.
40 Idi dimteng dagiti adipen ni David kenni Abigail idiay Carmel, nagsaoda kenkuana ket kinunada, “Imbaonnakami ni David tapno alaendaka nga ipan kenkuana kas asawana.”
When David's men arrived at Carmel, they said to Abigail, “David has sent us to you to bring you back to become his wife.”
41 Timmakder isuna, nagrukob iti daga, ket kinunana, “Toy adipenyo a babai ket adipen a rumbeng laeng a mangbuggo iti saka dagiti adipen ti apok.”
She stood up, then bowed down low, and said, “I am David's maidservant. I am prepared to serve and to wash the feet of my master's servants.”
42 Timmakder ni Abigail ket nagdardaras a simmakay iti asnona a kaduana dagiti lima a babbai nga adipenna a simmurot kenkuana; sinurotna dagiti mensahero ni David ket nagbalin isuna nga asawa ni David.
Abigail quickly got on a donkey and, with her five female servants, went back with David's men and became his wife.
43 Inasawa met ni David ni Ahinoam a taga-Jezreel; duada a nagbalin nga asawana.
David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel. So they both were his wives.
44 Ita inyawat ni Saul ti babai nga anakna a ni Mical a sigud nga asawa ni David, kenni Palti nga anak ni Lais a taga-Galim.
However, Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Paltiel, son of Laish. He was from Gallim.
