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 was gathered together, and they mourned for him, and buried him in his house in Ramatha. And David rose and went down into the wilderness of Pharan.
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.
Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were in Carmel, and the man was very great: and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and it happened that he was shearing his sheep in 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.
Now the name of the man was Nabal: and the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a prudent and very comely woman, but her husband was churlish, and very bad and ill natured: and he was of the house of Caleb.
4 Jinanji’ i Davide am-patrambey añe te nañitsike o añondri’eo t’i Nabale,
And when 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.
He sent ten young men, and said to them: Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and salute him in my name with peace.
6 Le isaontsio ty hoe, Mahaveloñe, fañanintsiñe ama’o, fierañerañañe ami’ty anjomba’o naho himoneñe soa iaby o vara’oo.
And you shall say: Peace be to my brethren, and to thee, and peace to thy house, and peace 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.
I heard that thy shepherds that were with us in the desert were shearing: we never molested them, neither was there ought missing to them of the flock at any time, all the while they were with us 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 servants, and they will tell thee. Now therefore let thy servants find favour in thy eyes: for we are come in a good day, whatsoever thy hand shall find give 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 when David’s servants came, they spoke to Nabal all these words in David’s name: and then held their peace.
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,
But Nabal answering the servants of David, said: Who is David? and what is the son of Isai? servants are multiplied now a days who flee from their masters.
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?
Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and the flesh of my cattle, which I have killed for my shearers, and give 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.
So the servants of David went back their way, and returning came and told him all the words that he said.
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.
Then David said to his young men: Let every man gird on his sword. And they girded on every man his sword. And David also girded on his sword: and there followed David about four hundred men: and two hundred remained with 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.
But one of the servants told Abigail the wife of Nabal, saying: Behold David sent messengers out of the wilderness, to salute our master: and he rejected 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,
These men were very good to us, and gave us no trouble: neither did we ever lose any thing all the time that we conversed with them in the desert.
16 le iereo ty nikijoli’ay handro an-kaleñe amo hene andro nitraofa’ay, izahay niarak’ o añondrio.
They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping 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.
Wherefore consider, and think what thou hast to do: for evil is determined against thy husband, and against thy house, and he is a son of Belial, so that no man can 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.
Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of dry figs, and laid them upon 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 servants: Go before me: behold I will follow after you: but she told not 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 when she had gotten upon an ass, and was coming down to the foot of the mountain, David and his men came down over against 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.
And David said: Truly in vain have I kept all that belonged to this man in the wilderness, and nothing was lost of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned 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.
May God do so and so, and add more to the foes of David, if I leave of all that belong to him till the morning, any that pisseth against the wall.
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 made haste and lighted off the ass, and fell before David, on her face, and adored upon 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 she fell at his feet, and said: Upon me let this iniquity be, my lord: let thy handmaid speak, I beseech thee, in thy ears: and hear the words of thy servant.
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 the king, I pray, regard this naughty man Nabal: for according to his name, he is a fool, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid did not see thy servants, my lord, whom thou sentest.
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.
Now therefore, my lord, the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, who hath withholden thee from coming to blood, and hath saved thy hand to thee: and now let thy enemies be as Nabal, and all they that seek evil to my lord.
27 Ingo ka ry talèko ty ravoravo nandese’ i mpitoroñ’ ampela’oy amy talèkoy; atoloro amo mpitoroñe mpiamy talèkoo.
Wherefore receive this blessing, which thy handmaid hath brought to thee, my lord: and give it to the young men that follow thee, 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.
Forgive the iniquity of thy handmaid: for the Lord will surely make for my lord a faithful house, because thou, my lord, fightest the battles of the Lord: let not evil therefore be found in thee all the days of thy life.
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.
For if a man at any time shall rise, and persecute thee, and seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be kept, as in the bundle of the living, with the Lord thy God: but the souls of thy enemies shall be whirled, as with the violence and whirling of a sling.
30 Ie amy zao, naho fa nanoe’ Iehovà iaby ty hasoa nitsarae’e azo, vaho ie fa nañory azo ho mpifelek’ Israele;
And when the Lord shall have done to thee, my lord, all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have made thee prince 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.
This shall not be an occasion of grief to thee, and a scruple of heart to my lord, that thou hast shed innocent blood, or hast revenged thyself: and when the Lord shall have done well by my lord, thou shalt 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 the Lord the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me, and blessed be thy speech:
33 rengèñe ka ty faharendreha’o, naho rengèn-drehe nitañ’ ahy tsy homb’eo hampiori-dio ndra hamale fate an-tañako.
And blessed be thou, who hast kept me today, from coming to blood, and revenging me with my 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.
Otherwise as the Lord liveth the God of Israel, who hath withholden me from doing thee any evil: if thou hadst not quickly come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
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.
And David received at her hand all that she had brought him, and said to her: Go in peace into thy house, behold I have heard thy voice, and have honoured thy face.
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 had a feast in his house, like the feast of a king, and Nabal’s heart was merry: for he was very drunk: and she told him nothing less or more until morning.
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.
But early in the morning when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife told him these words, 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 after ten days had passed, the Lord struck 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 had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: Blessed be the Lord, who hath judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil, and the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his head. Then David sent and treated with Abigail, that he might take her to himself for a 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 David’s servants came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying: David hath sent us to thee, to take thee to himself for a 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 down with her face to the earth, and said: Behold, let thy servant be a handmaid, 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 arose, and made haste, and got upon an ass, and five damsels went with her, her waiting maids, and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.
43 Nengae’ i Davide ka t’i Akinoame nte-Iezreele, le nivalie’e iereo roe.
Moreover David took also Achinoam of Jezrahel: and they were 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 gave Michol his daughter, David’s wife, to Phalti, the son of Lais, who was of Gallium.
