Sie Samuel 25
1 Samuel el misa, ac mwet Israel nukewa tukeni nu sie ac asor kacl. Na elos piknilya in acn sel in Ramah. Tukun ma inge, David el som nu yen mwesis in Paran.
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.
2 Oasr sie mukul in acn Maon su oasr acn lal in acn Carmel. Mwet se inge el arulana kasrup. Oasr tolu tausin sheep natul, ac sie tausin nani. In pacl se inge el muta Carmel ac kalkul sheep natul.
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.
3 Inen mukul se inge pa Nabal, ac mutan kial ah pa Abigail. Mutan se inge el lalmwetmet ac oasku, a mukul sac el mwet na kou ac likkeke se. El ma in sou lal Caleb.
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.
4 Ke David el muta yen mwesis uh, el lohng lah Nabal el kalkul sheep natul,
David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
5 na David el supwala mukul fusr singoul nu Carmel, ac sap elos in sokol Nabal, ac us lung lal nu sel.
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.
6 David el sapkin tuh elos in fahk ouinge nu sel Nabal, “David el paing kom, ac el mu kut in tuh fahk lung lal nu sum ac sou lom, ac ma lom nukewa.
Tell him, ‘Long life to you! Peace be to you! Peace be to your house! Peace be to all that you have!
7 El lohng lah kom kalkul sheep, ac el ke kom in etu lah mwet lom ma liyaung sheep nutum elos tuh muta yorosr, ac wangin kutena ma koluk kut oru nu selos. Kut tia pisre kutena ma lalos ke elos muta yorosr in acn Carmel.
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.
8 Kom ku in siyuk selos ac elos fah fahk. Kut tuku ke len in kufwa se, ac David el siyuk tuh kom in kulang nu sesr. Nunak munas, kasrekut ke ma kom ku in se nu sesr ac nu sel David, mwet kawuk lom.”
Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor 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.’”
9 Mwet lal David elos tafwela kas inge nu sel Nabal ke inel David, na elos mutana soano.
When David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal all those words in the name of David, and waited.
10 Ke Nabal el topuk el fahk, “Su David? Su mwet sacn? Nga soenna lohng ke mwet se ingan! In len inge pukanten mwet kohs kaingelik in facl se inge!
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.
11 Nga tia ku in sang bread ac kof ac ikwa ma nga akoo nu sin mwet kalkul sheep nutik uh nu sin mwet su nga tia etu lah elos tuku ya me!”
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?”
12 Na mwet lal David elos folokla ac fahkang nu sel ma Nabal el fahk ah.
So David’s young men turned on their way and went back, and came and told him all these words.
13 Ac David el sapkin nu sin mwet lal, “Losya cutlass nutuwos an!” Na elos nukewa oru oana el sapkin, ac David el oayapa losya cutlass natul, ac el us mwet angfoko lal som, ac filiya mwet luofoko in muta liyaung ma lalos.
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.
14 Sie sin mwet kulansap lal Nabal el fahk nu sel Abigail, mutan kial, “Ku kom lohng? David el supwama kutu mwet utuk kas yen mwesis me nu yorol Nabal, in fahkak kas in painguk lal nu sel, tuh pa Nabal el kaskas kou nu selos.
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.
15 Sruk David ac mwet lal elos tuh arulana wo nu sesr. Elos tiana orek lokoalok nu sesr, ac ke pacl nukewa ma kut muta yorolos inimae, wangin ma lasr pisrapasrla.
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.
16 Ke lusen pacl kut muta inmasrlolos ac liyaung sheep natusr uh, elos tuh karingin kut len ac fong.
They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
17 Nunak munas nunku ke ma inge, ac suk lah mea fal in orek. Lumah se inge ku in orala sie mwe fosrnga lulap nu sel Nabal ac nu sin sou lal nukewa. El arulana srangesroa, ac tia lungse lohng kutena mwet.”
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.”
18 Na Abigail el sulaklak na orani lof in bread luofoko, ac pak in wain luo nwanala, sheep lumko manman tari, foto luo in wheat manman, tun in grape pao siofok, ac cake fig luofoko, ac el sang ma inge nukewa nu fin donkey ekasr.
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.
19 Na el fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal, “Komtal fahsr meet, ac nga fah fahsr tukumtal.” A wangin ma el fahk nu sin mukul tumal ah.
She said to her young men, “Go on before me. Behold, I am coming after you.” But she didn’t tell her husband, Nabal.
20 Ke el kasrusr fin donkey natul ah, el rauni kuru se sisken eol uh, na David ac mwet lal elos fahsru suwosma nu yorol.
As she rode on her donkey, and came down hidden by the mountain, behold, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them.
21 David el tuh fahsr ac sifacna nunku insial, “Efu ku nga tuh liyaung ma lun mwet se ingan yen mwesis ah? Wanginna ma lal pisrapasrla. Ya pa inge molin kasreyuk luk nu sel uh?
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.
22 God Elan uniyuwi nga fin tia uniya mwet ingan nufon meet liki lenelik!”
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.”
23 Ke Abigail el liyalak David, el sa na srola liki donkey natul, ac faksufi nu infohk uh
When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got off her donkey, and fell before David on her face and bowed herself to the ground.
24 sisken nial David, ac fahk nu sel, “Leum luk, nunak munas porongeyu! Lela tuh mwatan ma se inge in oan fuk ac tia oan facl Nabal.
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.
25 Nunak munas, nimet nunku kacl Nabal, tuh el tia mwet pwaye! El mwet lalfon, oana kalmen ine se lal ah! Nga tuh wangin ke pacl se mwet kulansap lom tuku nu yorol ah.
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.
26 LEUM GOD pa oru tuh kom in tia foloksak ac uniya na mwet lokoalok lom. Inge nga fulahk nu sum ke LEUM GOD moul lah mwet lokoalok lom, ac mwet nukewa su srike in akkolukye kom, fah kaiyuk elos oana Nabal.
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.
27 Leum luk, nunak munas eis mwe lung ma nga use inge, ac sang nu sin mwet lom ingan.
Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.
28 Leum luk, kom fah nunak munas, sisla koluk luk fin oasr kutena ma sufal nga oru. LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh kom in tokosra, ac oayapa fwil nukewa nutum, mweyen kom mweun ke mweun lal. Ac kom ac fah tia oru ma koluk ke lusen moul lom.
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.
29 Fin oasr kutena mwet lain kom, ku srike in unikomi, LEUM GOD lom El ac fah karinginkomyang, oana ke sie mwet el karingin mwe kasrup saok. A funu nu sin mwet lokoalok lom, El ac fah siselosla, oana ke sie mwet el sisla eot ke fuht natul.
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.
30 Ac ke LEUM GOD El ac oru ma wo nukewa su El tuh wulela nu sum kac, ac oru tuh kom in tokosra fin Israel,
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,
31 na kom ac fah tia enenu in asor ku fosrnga mu kom tuh uniya mwet su wangin mwata, ku sifacna foloksak nu sin mwet. Ac ke pacl se LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kom, O leum luk, nga siyuk tuh kom in tia mulkinyula.”
that this shall be no grief to you, nor offense 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.”
32 Ac David el fahk nu sel, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD lun Israel, su supwekomme in osun nu sik misenge!
David said to Abigail, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me!
33 Kulo nu sin God ke nunak wo lom, ac ke ma kom oru misenge, tuh ma inge sruokyuwi liki nunak in akmas su nga tuh akoo tuh in mwe foloksak luk sifacna.
Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, who have kept me today from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.
34 LEUM GOD El ikolyuwi tuh nga in tia oru kutu ma koluk nu sum. Tuh nga fulahk ye mutun God moul lun Israel, lah kom funu tia sulaklak in tuku sunyu, lukun misa mukul nukewa lal Nabal meet liki lenelik lutu uh!”
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.”
35 Na David el insewowo in eis ma mutan se inge use nu sel, ac el fahk nu sel, “Folokot nu lohm sum an, ac nimet kom fosrnga. Nga ac oru oana ma kom siyuk an.”
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.”
36 Na Abigail el folokla nu yorol Nabal, su muta in lohm sel ac oru sie kufwa lulap, oana kufwa lun tokosra. El arulana sruhi ac pwar, oru Abigail el tiana fahk kutena ma nu sel nu ke lutu tok ah.
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.
37 Tukun Nabal el sarla liki sruhi lal, na Abigail el fahkang ma nukewa nu sel. In pacl sac mas se sikyak nu sel Nabal, ac manol nufon ulla, el kofla mukuikui.
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.
38 Na len singoul ma toko, LEUM GOD El unilya Nabal ac el misa.
About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal, so that he died.
39 Ke David el lohng tuh Nabal el misa, na el fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD, tuh El foloksak nu sel Nabal ke sripen kaskas kou lal nu sik. Oayapa God El ikolyuwi, mwet kulansap lal, tuh nga in tia oru ma sufal. LEUM GOD El oru tuh koluk lal Nabal in putati facl sifacna.” Na David el supwala kas nu yorol Abigail in akkalemye lah el lungse payuk sel.
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.
40 Mwet kulansap lal David elos som nu yorol Abigail in acn Carmel, ac fahk nu sel, “David el supwekutme in eis kom nu yorol, tuh kom in mutan kial.”
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.”
41 Na Abigail el faksufi ac fahk, “Nga mwet kulansap lal, ac nga akola in oul nien mwet kulansap lal.”
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.”
42 Na el sulaklak na tuyak ac sroang nu fin donkey natul. El us mutan kulansap limekosr welul, ac elos wi mwet kulansap lal David som, ac el payukyak sel David.
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.
43 David el payuk sel Ahinoam, sie mutan Jezreel, ac inge el payuk pac sel Abigail.
David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they both became his wives.
44 In pacl sac pacna Saul el eisalang Michal, acn se natul ma tuh payuk sel David ah, tuh elan payuk nu sel Palti wen natul Laish, sie mwet Gallim.
Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
