1 Samoela 25
1 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.
And Samuel died; and all Israel were gathered together, and lamented him; and they buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
2 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.
And there was a man at Maon, whose business was at Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and he was shearing his sheep at Carmel.
3 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.
And the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance; but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was a Calebite.
4 Jinanji’ i Davide am-patrambey añe te nañitsike o añondri’eo t’i Nabale,
And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
5 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.
Then David sent out 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 Le isaontsio ty hoe, Mahaveloñe, fañanintsiñe ama’o, fierañerañañe ami’ty anjomba’o naho himoneñe soa iaby o vara’oo.
And thus shall ye say: Long life [to thee]! and peace be to thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be to all that thou hast!
7 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.
And now I have heard that thou hast shearers; now thy shepherds who were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there aught missed by them, all the while they were in Carmel.
8 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.
Ask thy young men, and they will tell thee. Therefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes; for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, what thy hand may find to thy servants, and to thy son David.
9 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
And David's young men came, and spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
10 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,
And Nabal answered David's servants and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants now-a-days that break away every man from his master.
11 aa vaho hangalàko hao o mofokoo, o ranokoo naho i hena vinonoko ho amo pañitsikooy vaho hatoloko ama’ ondaty tsy fohiñe te hirik’ aia?
And shall I take my bread, and my water, and my flesh which I have killed for my shearers, and give [it] to men whom I know not whence they are?
12 Aa le nitolike o ajalahi’ i Davideo, nimpoly vaho nitalilia’e iaby i saontsi’ey.
And David's young men turned their way, and went back, and came and reported to him according to all those words.
13 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.
And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword; and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the baggage.
14 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.
And one of [Nabal's] young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our master; and he has insulted them.
15 Toe nañasoa anay ondatio, tsy nijoie’e vaho ndra kede tsy nipok’ ama’ay sikal’ amy niharoa’ay am’ iareoy; izahay tan-kivok’ ao,
And the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we companied with them, when we were in the fields.
16 le iereo ty nikijoli’ay handro an-kaleñe amo hene andro nitraofa’ay, izahay niarak’ o añondrio.
They were a wall to us both by night and day, all the while we were with them feeding the sheep.
17 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.
And now know and consider what thou wilt do, for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household; and he is such a son of Belial, that one cannot speak to him.
18 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.
And Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two skin-bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched [corn], and a hundred raisin-cakes, and two hundred fig-cakes, and laid them on asses.
19 Le hoe re amo ajalahi’eo: Akia, miaoloa mb’eo, le horiheko, f’ie tsy nitalily amy Nabale vali’e.
And she said to her young men, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
20 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.
And as she was riding on the ass, and coming down by the covert of the hill, behold, David and his men came down opposite to her; and she met them.
21 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.
Now David had said, Surely, in vain have I kept all that this [man] had in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that was his; and he has requited me evil for good.
22 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.
So and more also do God to the enemies of David, if I leave of all that is his by the morning light any male.
23 Tendrek’ amy Davide amy zao t’i Abigale, le nizotso amy borìkey naho nibabok’ aolo’ i Davide an-dahara’e vaho nidrakadrakak’ an-tane,
And when Abigail saw David, she hasted and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
24 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.
and fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, [upon] me let the iniquity be; but let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear the words of thy handmaid.
25 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.
Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; and I thy handmaid did not see the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
26 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.
And now, my lord, [as] Jehovah liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, seeing Jehovah has restrained thee from coming with bloodshed, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
27 Ingo ka ry talèko ty ravoravo nandese’ i mpitoroñ’ ampela’oy amy talèkoy; atoloro amo mpitoroñe mpiamy talèkoo.
And now this blessing which thy bondmaid has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men that follow my lord.
28 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.
I pray thee, forgive the transgression of thy handmaid: for Jehovah will certainly make my lord a lasting house; because my lord fights the battles of Jehovah, and evil has not been found in thee all thy days.
29 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.
And if a man is risen up to pursue thee and to seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with Jehovah thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out from the hollow of the sling.
30 Ie amy zao, naho fa nanoe’ Iehovà iaby ty hasoa nitsarae’e azo, vaho ie fa nañory azo ho mpifelek’ Israele;
And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall do to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning thee, and shall appoint thee ruler over Israel,
31 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.
that this shall be no stumbling-block to thee, nor offence of heart for my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall deal well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.
32 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Abigale: Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele; amy t’ie nirahe’e hifanalaka amako anindroany;
And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me.
33 rengèñe ka ty faharendreha’o, naho rengèn-drehe nitañ’ ahy tsy homb’eo hampiori-dio ndra hamale fate an-tañako.
And blessed be thy discernment, and blessed be thou, who hast kept me this day from coming with bloodshed, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
34 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.
But indeed, as Jehovah the God of Israel liveth, who has restrained me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any male.
35 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.
So David received of her hand what she had brought him, and said to her, Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
36 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.
And Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was drunken to excess; so she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
37 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.
And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things; and his heart died within him, and he became [as] a stone.
38 Ie modo ty folo andro varàñe le linafa’ Iehovà t’i Nabale vaho nikoromake.
And it came to pass in about ten days that Jehovah smote Nabal, and he died.
39 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.
And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil; but Jehovah has returned Nabal's evil upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her as his wife.
40 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.
And the servants of David came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee, to take thee as his wife.
41 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.
And she arose and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thy handmaid be a bondwoman to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
42 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.
And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
43 Nengae’ i Davide ka t’i Akinoame nte-Iezreele, le nivalie’e iereo roe.
David had also taken Ahinoam of Jizreel; and they became, even both of them, his wives.
44 Fa natolo’ i Saole amy Faltý ana’ i Laise nte Galime i Mikale anak’ ampela’e, vali’ i Davidey.
But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
