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 the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and 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 in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and 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 Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
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.
And 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 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 to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both 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 any thing missing to 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 show thee. Therefore let the young men find favour in thy eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatever cometh to thy hand 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 young men came, they spoke to Nabal in the name of David, according to all these words, 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 in these 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?
Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men, whom I know not from where they are?
12 Aa le nitolike o ajalahi’ i Davideo, nimpoly vaho nitalilia’e iaby i saontsi’ey.
So David’s young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all these sayings.
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.
But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master; and he railed at 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,
But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant 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 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.
Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a worthless man, that a man 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.
Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of roasted grain, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.
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 on before me; behold, I come 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 it was so, as she rode on the donkey, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down toward 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 fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him: and he hath repaid 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 pertain to him by the morning light any male person.
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 got off the donkey, 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 this iniquity be: and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thy hearing, 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 worthless man, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid saw not 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.
Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withheld thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thy own hand, now let thy 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 handmaid hath brought to my lord, let it even 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 trespass of thy handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath 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.
Yet a man hath risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thy enemies, them shall he sling out, as from the middle 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 it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed 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 grief to thee, nor offence of heart to my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt 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 the LORD 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 advice, and blessed be thou, who hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself 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.
For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, who hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any male person.
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 from her hand that which she had brought him, and said to her, Return 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 very drunk: therefore 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.
But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine had left Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that 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 about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that 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 the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and talked with Abigail, to 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 when the servants of David had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, David hath sent us to thee, to take thee to him 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 on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thy handmaid be a servant 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 a donkey, with five damsels of hers that went after 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 also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also 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.
