1 Samuel 25

1 Murió Samuel, y se reunió todo Israel. Lo lloraron y lo enterraron en su casa, en Ramá. Se levantó entonces David y bajó al desierto de Farán.

And he died Samuel and they gathered together all Israel and they mourned for him and they buried him at house his in Ramah and he arose David and he went down to [the] wilderness of Paran.

2 Y había un hombre en Maón, que tenía sus posesiones en Carmel. Este hombre era muy rico, tenía tres mil ovejas y mil cabras. Hallábase en Carmel para el esquileo de sus ovejas.

And a man [was] in Maon and business his [was] in Carmel and the man [was] great very and [belonged] to him sheep three thousand and one thousand goats and it was when sheared sheep his in Carmel.

3 Este hombre se llamaba Nabal, y su mujer Abigail. La mujer era de gran prudencia y hermosura; el marido, al contrario, era duro y de malas costumbres y descendía del linaje de Caleb.

And [the] name of the man [was] Nabal and [the] name of wife his [was] Abigail and the woman [was] good of insight and beautiful of appearance and the man [was] hard and evil of deeds and he ([was] a Calebite. *Q(K)*)

4 Al oír David en el desierto que Nabal esquilaba sus ovejas,

And he heard David in the wilderness that [was] shearing Nabal sheep his.

5 envió diez mozos, a los que dijo: “Subid a Carmel, y llegados a Nabal saludadle en mi nombre,

And he sent David ten young men and he said David to the young men go up Carmel towards and you will go to Nabal and you will ask of him in name my to welfare.

6 y diréis así: ¡Tengas (larga) vida! ¡Paz a ti, y paz a tu casa, y paz a cuanto tienes!

And you will say thus to the living [one] and you peace and house your peace and all that [belongs] to you peace.

7 Acabo de saber que los esquiladores están contigo. Ahora bien, cuando tus pastores estaban con nosotros, no los hemos tratado mal y nada les ha faltado durante el tiempo que han estado en Carmel.

And now I have heard that shearers [belong] to you now the shepherds who [belong] to you they have been with us not we have humiliated them and not it has been missing to them anything all [the] days of being they in Carmel.

8 Pregunta a tus criados y te lo dirán. Hallen, pues, estos mozos gracia a tus ojos, porque venimos en un día de fiesta. Te ruego que des a tus siervos y a tu hijo David lo que encuentre tu mano.”

Ask own young men your so they may tell to you and let them find the young men favor in view your for on a day good we have come give! please [that] which it will find hand your to servants your and to son your to David.

9 Fueron, pues, los mozos de David, y repitieron a Nabal todas estas palabras de parte de David, y se quedaron esperando.

And they went [the] young men of David and they spoke to Nabal according to all the words these in [the] name of David and they rested.

10 Pero Nabal respondió a los siervos de David, y dijo: “¿Quién es David, y quién el hijo de Isaí? Hoy día son muchos los siervos que andan fugitivos de sus amos.

And he answered Nabal [the] servants of David and he said who? [is] David and who? [is] [the] son of Jesse this day they are many servants who break away each one from before master his.

11 ¿He de tomar yo mi pan y mi agua y mis animales que he degollado para mis esquiladores, y lo daré a hombres que no sé de dónde son?”

And will I take bread my and water my and slaughter my which I have slaughtered for shearers my and will I give [them] to men who not I know where? from this [are] they.

12 Con esto retomaron los mozos de David el camino y volvieron; y habiendo llegado le dijeron todas estas palabras.

And they turned round [the] young men of David to way their and they returned and they came and they told to him according to all the words these.

13 Entonces dijo David a su gente: “Cíñase cada uno su espada.” Y se ciñó cada uno su espada, ciñéndose también David la suya; y subieron tras David unos cuatrocientos hombres, quedándose doscientos para custodiar el bagaje.

And he said David to men his gird on - everyone sword his and they girded on everyone sword his and he girded on also David sword his and they went up - after David about four hundred man and two hundred they remained with the baggage.

14 Uno de los criados dio noticia a Abigail, mujer de Nabal, diciendo: “Mira que David ha enviado desde el desierto mensajeros a saludar a nuestro señor, mas él se precipitó sobre ellos.

And to Abigail [the] wife of Nabal he told a young man one from the young men saying there! he sent David messengers - from the wilderness to bless master our and he shouted at them.

15 Esos hombres han sido muy buenos con nosotros, no nos molestaron, ni echamos de menos cosa alguna en todo el tiempo que anduvimos con ellos mientras estábamos en el campo.

And the men [were] good to us very and not we were humiliated and not we missed anything all [the] days [which] we went about with them when were we in the field.

16 Nos servían de muro tanto de noche como de día, todo el tiempo que estuvimos con ellos, apacentando los rebaños.

A wall they were with us both night as well as by day all [the] days of being we with them shepherding the flock.

17 Reflexiona ahora tú y mira lo que has de hacer; porque la ruina de nuestro señor y de toda su casa es cosa resuelta, y él es tan malo, que nadie le puede hablar.”

And now know and see what? will you do for it has been determined evil against master our and on all household his and he [is] a son of worthlessness from speaking to him.

18 Tomó, pues, Abigail a toda prisa doscientos panes, dos pellejos de vino, cinco ovejas aderezadas, cinco medidas de grano tostado, cien atados de pasas y doscientas tortas de higos secos, y poniéndolos sobre los asnos,

And she made haste (Abigail *Q(k)*) and she took two hundred bread[s] and two jars of wine and five sheep (prepared *Q(k)*) and five seahs of roasted grain and a hundred bunches of raisins and two hundred fig cakes and she put [them] on the donkeys.

19 dijo a sus criados: “Adelantaos, y he aquí que yo os sigo.” Mas a su marido Nabal no le dijo nada.

And she said to servants her pass on before me here I after you [will be] coming and to husband her Nabal not she told.

20 Cuando ella montada sobre el asno bajaba por la falda del monte, he aquí que David y sus hombres venían bajando frente a ella, de modo que dio con ellos.

And it was she - [was] riding on the donkey and [was] going down in [the] cover of the mountain and there! David and men his [were] going down to meet her and she met them.

21 Decía David: “A la verdad que en balde he guardado todo lo que este tenía en el desierto, sin que haya perdido nada de cuanto tenía; pero él me ha devuelto mal por bien.

And David he had said surely to deception I have guarded all that [belongs] to this [man] in the wilderness and not it has been missing any of all that [belongs] to him anything and he has returned to me evil in place of good.

22 ¡Así haga Dios con los enemigos de David, y aún más, si yo hasta la luz del alba dejare con vida uno solo de todos sus hombres!”

Thus may he do God to [the] enemies David and thus may he add if I will leave any of all that [belongs] to him until the morning [one who] urinates on a wall.

23 Tan pronto como vio Abigail a David, bajó a toda prisa del asno y cayó ante David sobre el rostro postrándose a tierra.

And she saw Abigail David and she made haste and she came down from on the donkey and she fell to [the] face of David on face her and she bowed down [the] ground.

24 Y postrada a sus pies, dijo: “Caiga sobre mí, señor mío, esta culpa. Permite, te ruego, que hable tu sierva a tus oídos, y escucha lo que dice tu sierva.

And she fell at feet his and she said [be] on me I O lord my the iniquity and let her speak please maidservant your in ears your and hear [the] words of maidservant your.

25 Te ruego, señor mío, no hagas caso de Nabal, ese hombre de Belial, porque él es lo que significa su nombre. Se llama Insensato y de veras está poseído de insensatez. Yo, tu sierva, no vi a los mozos de mi señor, que tú enviaste.

May not please he set lord my - heart his to [the] man of worthlessness this on Nabal for like name his [is] so he [is] Nabal name his and disgraceful folly [is] with him and I maidservant your not I saw [the] young men of lord my whom you sent.

26 Ahora, señor mío, ¡por la vida de Yahvé, y por la vida de tu alma! que es Yahvé quien te ha preservado de derramar sangre, y hacerte justicia por tu propia mano. ¡Sean como Nabal tus enemigos y los que maquinan el mal contra mi señor!

And now O lord my [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your that he has restrained you Yahweh from coming in blood and [from] delivering hand your you and now may they be like Nabal enemies your and those [who] seek against lord my evil.

27 Y ahora (acepta) este regalo que tu sierva ha traído a mi señor, y que sea dado a los mozos que siguen a mi señor.

And now the blessing this which he has brought maidservant your to lord my and it will be given to the young men who go about at [the] feet of lord my.

28 Perdona, te ruego, la falta de tu sierva; pues seguramente va a hacer Yahvé para mi señor una casa estable, puesto que mi señor combate los combates de Yahvé, y nunca en (todos) tus días se halle en ti maldad alguna.

Forgive please to [the] transgression of maidservant your for certainly he will make Yahweh for lord my a house enduring for [the] battles of Yahweh lord my [is] fighting and evil not it will be found in you from days your.

29 Y si alguno se levantare para perseguirte y quitarte la vida, será la vida de mi señor guardada en el haz de los vivos junto a Yahvé tu Dios. Pero la vida de tus enemigos la arrojará como una piedra tirada de la cavidad de la honda.

And he has arisen a man to pursue you and to seek life your and it will be [the] life of lord my bound up - in [the] bundle of the living with Yahweh God your and [the] life of enemies your he will sling out it in [the] midst of [the] hollow of sling.

30 Entonces, cuando haga Yahvé a mi señor todo el bien que tiene prometido en orden a ti, y te ponga por príncipe sobre Israel,

And it will be that he will do Yahweh to lord my according to all that he has spoken the good on you and he will appoint you to ruler over Israel.

31 no tendrá mi señor remordimiento y pesar de corazón por haber derramado sangre inocente, ni por haberse vengado mi señor por propia cuenta. Y cuando Yahvé haga bien a mi señor, acuérdate de tu sierva.”

And not it will become this - for you staggering and stumbling of heart for lord my and pouring out of blood without cause and to deliver lord my himself and he will do good Yahweh to lord my and you will remember maidservant your.

32 Respondió David a Abigail: “¡Bendito sea Yahvé, el Dios de Israel, que te ha enviado hoy a mi encuentro!

And he said David to Abigail [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of Israel who he has sent you the day this to meet me.

33 ¡Y bendita sea tu prudencia, y bendita seas tú misma, que hoy me has impedido derramar sangre y vengarme por mi propia cuenta!

And [be] blessed discernment your and [be] blessed you who you have restrained me the day this from coming in blood and [from] delivering hand my me.

34 Pues —vive Yahvé, el Dios de Israel, que me ha impedido hacerte mal— si tú no te hubieras apresurado a venir a mi encuentro, antes de romper el alba no le habría quedado vivo a Nabal ni un solo hombre.”

And but [by] [the] life of Yahweh [the] God of Israel who he has restrained me from doing harm to you if - if not you had made haste (and you had come *Q(k)*) to meet me that except he has been left to Nabal until [the] light of the morning [one who] urinates on a wall.

35 Luego recibió David de mano de (Abigail) lo que ella había traído; y le dijo: “Sube en paz a tu casa; ya ves que he oído tu petición y he aceptado tu persona.”

And he took David from hand her [that] which she had brought to him and to her he said go up to peace to house your see I have listened to voice your and I have lifted up face your.

36 Abigail se volvió a Nabal; y he aquí que celebraban en su casa un banquete como banquete de rey. Y el corazón de Nabal rebosaba de alegría. Estaba él completamente borracho, por lo cual ella no le dijo nada, ni poco ni mucho, hasta la luz de la mañana.

And she went Abigail - to Nabal and there! [belonged] to him a feast in house his like [the] feast of king and [the] heart of Nabal it was good on him and he [was] drunk up to muchness and not she told to him anything small and great until [the] light of the morning.

37 Pero a la mañana, cuando Nabal ya había digerido el vino, su mujer le contó estas cosas, y se le paralizó el corazón en el cuerpo, de modo que quedó como una piedra.

And it was in the morning when had gone out the wine from Nabal and she told to him wife his the things these and it died heart his in inward part[s] his and he he became stone.

38 Así al cabo de unos diez días, Yahvé hirió a Nabal, y este murió.

And it was about [the] ten the days and he struck Yahweh Nabal and he died.

39 Cuando David supo que Nabal había muerto, dijo: “¡Bendito sea Yahvé que ha defendido mi causa (vengándome) de la afrenta que me hizo Nabal, y ha impedido a su siervo obrar mal! Yahvé ha hecho recaer la maldad de Nabal sobre su misma cabeza.” Después mandó David a decir a Abigail que quería tomarla por mujer.

And he heard David that he had died Nabal and he said [be] blessed Yahweh who he has conducted [the] case of disgrace my from [the] hand of Nabal and servant his he has restrained from evil and [the] evil of Nabal he has turned back Yahweh on own head his and he sent David and he spoke with Abigail to take her for himself to a wife.

40 Fueron los siervos de David a Carmel, a Abigail, y hablaron con ella, diciendo: “David nos ha enviado a ti para tomarte por mujer suya.”

And they went [the] servants of David to Abigail Carmel towards and they spoke to her saying David he has sent us to you to take you for himself to a wife.

41 Con lo cual ella se levantó, e inclinando su rostro hasta la tierra, dijo: “Tu sierva no es más que una sirvienta para lavar los pies de los siervos de mi señor.”

And she arose and she bowed down face [the] ground towards and she said here! maidservant your to a maid to wash [the] feet of [the] servants of lord my.

42 Y levantándose Abigail apresuradamente, montó en un asno, y acompañada de cinco criadas suyas que estaban a sus órdenes, siguió a los mensajeros de David, y fue su mujer.

And she made haste and she arose Abigail and she rode on the donkey and five maids her who walked to foot her and she went after [the] messengers of David and she became of him a wife.

43 David tomó también a Ahinoam, de Jesreel, y ambas fueron mujeres suyas.
