1 Samuel 25

1 Samuẹli sì kú; gbogbo ènìyàn Israẹli sì kó ara wọn jọ, wọ́n sì sọkún rẹ̀ wọ́n sì sin ín nínú ilé rẹ̀ ní Rama. Dafidi sì dìde, ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ijù Parani.

And Samuel died, and all Israel were gathered together, and made lamentation for him, and buried him within his own house, in Ramah, —and David arose and went down into the wilderness of Maon.

2 Ọkùnrin kan sì ń bẹ ní Maoni, ẹni tí iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ń bẹ ní Karmeli; ọkùnrin náà sì ní ọrọ̀ púpọ̀, ó sì ní ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta àgùntàn, àti ẹgbẹ̀rún ewúrẹ́: ó sì ń rẹ irun àgùntàn rẹ̀ ní Karmeli.

Now there was, a man, in Maon, whose cattle were in Carmel, and, the man, was exceeding great, and, he, had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats, —and so it was, that he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

3 Orúkọ ọkùnrin náà sì ń jẹ́ Nabali, orúkọ aya rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Abigaili; òun sì jẹ́ olóye obìnrin, àti arẹwà ènìyàn; ṣùgbọ́n òǹrorò àti oníwà búburú ni ọkùnrin; ẹni ìdílé Kalebu ni òun jẹ́.

Now, the name of the man, was Nabal, and, the name of his wife, Abigail, —and, the woman, was of good understanding, and of beautiful figure, —but, the man, was unfeeling and of evil practices, and he was a Calebite.

4 Dafidi sì gbọ́ ní aginjù pé Nabali ń rẹ́ irun àgùntàn rẹ̀.

So then David heard in the wilderness, —that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

5 Dafidi sì rán ọmọkùnrin mẹ́wàá, Dafidi sì sọ fún àwọn ọ̀dọ́kùnrin náà pé, “Ẹ gòkè lọ sí Karmeli, kí ẹ sì tọ Nabali lọ, kí ẹ sì kí i ni orúkọ mi.

David, therefore, sent ten young men, —and David said unto the young men, —Go up to Carmel, and enter in unto Nabal, and ye shall ask him, in my name, of his welfare;

6 Báyìí ni ẹ ó sì wí fún ẹni tí ó wà ni ìrora pé, ‘Àlàáfíà fún ọ! Àlàáfíà fún ohun gbogbo tí ìwọ ní!

and say thus—Long life to thee! Mayest, thou, prosper, And, thy household, prosper, And, all that thou hast, prosper!

7 “‘Ǹjẹ́ mo gbọ́ pé, àwọn olùrẹ́run ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ. Wò ó, àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn rẹ ti wà lọ́dọ̀ wa àwa kò sì pa wọ́n lára, wọn kò sì sọ ohunkóhun nù ní gbogbo ọjọ́ tí wọ́n wà ní Karmeli.

Now, therefore, have I heard that thou hast shearers, —Well, the shepherds that thou hast, have been with us, we reproached them not, neither missed they, anything, all the days they were in Carmel.

8 Bi àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ léèrè, wọn ó sì sọ fún ọ. Nítorí náà, jẹ́ kí àwọn ọmọkùnrin wọ̀nyí rí ojúrere lọ́dọ̀ rẹ; nítorí pé àwa sá wá ní ọjọ́ àsè: èmi bẹ̀ ọ́ ohunkóhun tí ọwọ́ rẹ bá bà, fi fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, àti fún Dafidi ọmọ rẹ.’”

Ask thy young men, that they may tell thee, that so my young men may find favour in thine eyes, for, on a good day, have we come! Give, I pray thee, what thy hand findeth, to thy servants, and to thy son, to David!

9 Àwọn ọmọkùnrin Dafidi sì lọ, wọ́n sì sọ fún Nabali gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí ní orúkọ Dafidi, wọ́n sì sinmi.

So David’s young men came, and spake unto Nabal, according to all these words, in the name of David, —and waited.

10 Nabali sì dá àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Dafidi lóhùn pé, “Ta ni ń jẹ́ Dafidi? Tàbí ta ni sì ń jẹ́ ọmọ Jese? Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ìránṣẹ́ ni ń bẹ ni ìsinsin yìí tí wọn sá olúkúlùkù kúrò lọ́dọ̀ olúwa rẹ̀.

Then Nabal answered the servants of David, and said, Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? Nowadays, many are the servants that have broken away, every one from the presence of his lord:

11 Ǹjẹ́ ki èmi o mú oúnjẹ mi, àti omi mi, àti ẹran mi ti mo pa fún àwọn olùrẹ́run mi, ki èmi sì fi fún àwọn ọkùnrin ti èmi kò mọ̀ ibi wọ́n ti wá?”

Shall I, then, take my bread, and my wine, and my slain beasts, that I have slaughtered for my shearers, —and give unto men of whom I know not whence they are?

12 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọmọkùnrin Dafidi sì mú ọ̀nà wọn pọ̀n, wọ́n sì padà, wọ́n sì wá, wọn si rò fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bi gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí.

So the young men of David turned away for their journey, —and came back, and drew near, and told him, according to all these words.

13 Dafidi sí wí fún àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Kí olúkúlùkù yín ó di idà rẹ́ mọ́ ìdí,” olúkúlùkù ọkùnrin sì di idà tirẹ̀ mọ́ ìdí; àti Dafidi pẹ̀lú sì di idà tirẹ̀; ìwọ̀n irinwó ọmọkùnrin si gòkè tọ Dafidi lẹ́yìn; igba si jókòó níbi ẹrù.

Then said David unto his men—Gird on you every man his sword. And they girded on them, 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 stores.

14 Ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọkùnrin Nabali si wí fún Abigaili aya rẹ̀ pé, “Wo o, Dafidi rán oníṣẹ́ láti aginjù wá láti kí olúwa wa; ó sì kanra mọ́ wọn.

But a certain one of her young men told, Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, —Lo! David sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our lord, and he treated them with contempt.

15 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin náà ṣe oore fún wa gidigidi, wọn kò ṣe wá ní ibi kan, ohunkóhun kò nù ni ọwọ́ wa ni gbogbo ọjọ́ ti àwa bá wọn rìn nígbà ti àwa ń bẹ lóko.

But, the men, were exceeding good to us, —and we were not harmed, neither missed we, anything, all the days we went to and fro with them, while we were in the fields:

16 Odi ni wọ́n sá à jásí fún wa lọ́sàn án, àti lóru, ni gbogbo ọjọ́ ti a fi bá wọn gbé, tí a n bojútó àwọn àgùntàn.

A wall, became they unto us, both by night and by day, all the days we were with them, tending the flock.

17 Ǹjẹ́, rò ó wò, kí ìwọ sì mọ èyí ti ìwọ yóò ṣe; nítorí pé a ti gbèrò ibi sí olúwa wa, àti sí gbogbo ilé rẹ̀; òun sì jásí ọmọ Beliali tí a kò le sọ̀rọ̀ fún.”

Now, therefore, know thou, and see, what thou canst do, for mischief is determined against our lord, and against all his household, —but, he, is such an abandoned man, that one cannot speak unto him.

18 Abigaili sì yára, ó sì mú igbá ìṣù àkàrà àti ìgò ọtí wáìnì méjì, àti àgùntàn márùn-ún, tí a ti ṣè, àti òsùwọ̀n àgbàdo yíyan márùn-ún, àti ọgọ́rùn-ún ìdì àjàrà, àti igba àkàrà èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́, ó sì dìwọ́n ru kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́.

Then Abigail hastened—and took two hundred loaves, and two skins of wine, and five sheep made ready, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred cakes of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, —and put them on the asses.

19 Òun sì wí fún àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Máa lọ níwájú mi; wò ó, èmi ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn yín,” ṣùgbọ́n òun kò wí fún Nabali baálé rẹ̀.

And she said to her young men—Pass on before me, behold me coming after you; but, to her husband, Nabal, told she nothing.

20 Bí o ti gun orí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ tí ó sì ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí ibi ìkọ̀kọ̀ òkè náà, wò ó, Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀; òun sì wá pàdé wọn.

And so it was, as she was riding on her ass, and descending within the covert of the hill, lo! David and his men, descending over against her, —so she met them.

21 Dafidi sì ti wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ lásán ni èmi ti pa gbogbo èyí tí i ṣe ti eléyìí ní aginjù, ti ohunkóhun kò sì nù nínú gbogbo èyí ti í ṣe tirẹ̀: òun ni ó sì fi ibi san ìre fún mi yìí.

Now, David, had said—Surely, in vain, did I guard all that pertained to this man in the wilderness, so that there was, nothing, missed of all that he had, —seeing he hath returned to me evil for good.

22 Bẹ́ẹ̀ àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ, ni ki Ọlọ́run ó ṣe sí àwọn ọ̀tá Dafidi, bi èmi bá fi ọkùnrin kan sílẹ̀ nínú gbogbo èyí tí i ṣe tirẹ̀ títí di ìmọ́lẹ̀ òwúrọ̀.”

So may God do to David and so may he add, if I leave remaining, of all that he hath, until the morning, —so much as a little boy.

23 Abigaili sì rí Dafidi, ó sì yára, ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lórí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, ó sì dojúbolẹ̀ níwájú Dafidi, ó sì rẹ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.

And, when Abigail saw David, she hastened, and alighted from off her ass, —and fell down before David upon her face, and prostrated herself on the ground;

24 Ó sì wólẹ̀ lẹ́bàá ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, ó wí pé, “Olúwa mi, fi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yìí yá mi: kí ó sì jẹ́ kí ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, sọ̀rọ̀ létí rẹ, kí ó sì gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ.

yea she fell at his feet, and said—On me, even me, my lord, be the transgression, —But, I pray thee, let thy handmaid speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy handmaid.

25 Olúwa mi, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́ má ka ọkùnrin Beliali yìí sí, àní Nabali. Nítorí pé bí orúkọ rẹ̀ ti jẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni òun náà rí. Nabali ni orúkọ rẹ̀, àìmoye si wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n èmi ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ kò ri àwọn ọmọkùnrin olúwa mi, ti ìwọ rán.

Let it not be, I pray thee, that my lord regard this abandoned man—Nabal ["Base"]; For, as his name is, so, is he. Nabal, is his name, and, baseness, is with him, —But, I, thy handmaid, saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

26 Ǹjẹ́ olúwa mi, bi Olúwa ti wà láààyè, àti bí ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ si ti wà láààyè, bi Olúwa sì ti dá ọ dúró láti wá ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ sílẹ̀, àti láti fi ọwọ́ ara rẹ gba ẹ̀san; ǹjẹ́, kí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, àti àwọn ẹni tí ń gbèrò ibi sí olúwa mi rí bi i Nabali.

Now, therefore, my lord—By the life of Yahweh, and by the life of thine own soul, —seeing Yahweh hath withholden thee from coming in with bloodshed, and from saving thyself, with thine own hand, now, therefore, like Nabal, be thine enemies, and they who are making search for my lord, wrongfully.

27 Ǹjẹ́ èyí ni ẹ̀bùn tí ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ mú wá fún olúwa mi, jẹ́ kí a sì fi fún àwọn ọmọkùnrin ti ń tọ olúwa mi lẹ́yìn.

Now, therefore, this blessing which thy maid-servant hath brought to my lord, let it even be given unto the young men who are going to and fro at the feet of my lord.

28 “Èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, fi ìrékọjá arábìnrin rẹ jìn ín, nítorí Olúwa yóò sá ṣe ilé òdodo fún olúwa mi, nítorí pé ó ja ogun Olúwa. Nítorí náà kí a má ri ibi kan ni ọwọ́ rẹ níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ó wà láààyè.

Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy handmaid, —for Yahweh, will certainly make, for my lord an assured house, for, the battles of Yahweh, is my lord fighting, and, wrong, shall not be found in thee, all thy days;

29 Bí ọkùnrin kan bá sì dìde láti máa lépa rẹ, àti máa wá ẹ̀mí rẹ, a ó sì di ẹ̀mí olúwa mi nínú ìdì ìyè lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ; àti ẹ̀mí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ ni a ó sì gbọ̀n sọnù gẹ́gẹ́ bí kànnàkànnà jáde.

yea, though there hath arisen a sun of earth to pursue thee, and to seek thy life, yet shall the life of my lord be bound up in the bundle of the living, with Yahweh thy God, but, as for the life of thine enemies, he shall sling it out with the middle of the hollow of the sling.

30 Yóò sì ṣe, Olúwa yóò ṣe sí olúwa mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo ìre tí ó ti wí nípa tirẹ̀, yóò sì yàn ọ́ ni aláṣẹ lórí Israẹli.

And it shall be, when Yahweh shall do for my lord, according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, —and shall put thee in charge as leader over Israel,

31 Èyí kì yóò sì jásí ìbànújẹ́ fún ọ, tàbí ìbànújẹ́ ọkàn fún olúwa mi, nítorí pé ìwọ ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀, tàbí pé olúwa mi gba ẹ̀san fún ara rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Olúwa ba ṣe oore fún olúwa mi, ǹjẹ́ rántí ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ!”

then shall this not become to thee a staggering and stumbling of heart, unto my lord—that thou didst either shed blood without need, or that the hand of my lord saved himself. And, when Yahweh hath dealt well with my lord, then remember thou thy handmaid.

32 Dafidi sì wí fún Abigaili pé, “Alábùkún fún ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, tí ó rán ọ lónìí yìí láti pàdé mi.

Then said David unto Abigail, —Blessed, be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who hath sent thee this day, to meet me;

33 Ìbùkún ni fún ọgbọ́n rẹ, alábùkún sì ni ìwọ, tí ó da mi dúró lónìí yìí láti wá ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ sílẹ̀, àti láti fi ọwọ́ mi gba ẹ̀san fún ara mi.

and, blessed, be thy discreet judgment, and, blessed, be thou thyself, —who hast kept me, this day, from coming in with bloodshed, and from saving myself, with mine own hand.

34 Nítòótọ́, bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli tí ń bẹ, tí ó da mi dúró láti pa ọ́ lára bí kò ṣe pé bí ìwọ ti yára tí ó sì wá pàdé mi, nítòótọ́ kì bá tí kù fún Nabali di ìmọ́lẹ̀ òwúrọ̀ nínú àwọn ọkùnrin rẹ̀.”

Nevertheless, by the life of Yahweh, God of Israel, who hath restrained me from harming, thee, surely, except thou hadst hastened and come to meet me, there had not been left unto Nabal, by the light of the morning, so much as a little boy.

35 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi sì gba nǹkan tí ó mú wá fún un lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Gòkè lọ ni àlàáfíà sí ilé rẹ, wò ó, èmi ti gbọ́ ohùn rẹ, inú mi sì dùn sí ọ.”

So David received at her hand, that which she had brought him, —and, unto herself, he said—Go up, in peace, unto thy house, see! I have hearkened unto thy voice, and accepted thy person.

36 Abigaili sì tọ Nabali wá, sì wò ó, òun sì ṣe àsè ni ilé rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àsè ọba: inú Nabali sì dùn nítorí pé, ó ti mú ọtí ni àmupara; òun kò si sọ nǹkan fún un, díẹ̀ tàbí púpọ̀: títí di ìmọ́lẹ̀ òwúrọ̀

And, when Abigail came unto Nabal, lo! he, had a banquet in his house, like the banquet of a king, and, the heart of Nabal, was glad accordingly, he having drunk deeply, —so she told him nothing—less or more, until the light of the morning.

37 Ó sì ṣe; ni òwúrọ̀, nígbà ti ọtí náà si dá tán lójú Nabali, obìnrin rẹ̀ sì ro nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún un, ọkàn rẹ sì kú nínú rẹ̀, òun sì dàbí òkúta.

And it came to pass, in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, and his wife told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.

38 Ó sì ṣe lẹ́yìn ìwọ̀n ọjọ́ mẹ́wàá, Olúwa lu Nabali, ó sì kú.

And it came to pass, in about ten days, that Yahweh smote Nabal, that he died.

39 Dafidi sì gbọ́ pé Nabali kú, ó sì wí pé, “Ìyìn ni fún Olúwa tí o gbèjà gígàn mi láti ọwọ́ Nabali wá, tí ó sì dá ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ dúró láti ṣe ibi: Olúwa sì yí ìkà Nabali sí orí òun tìkára rẹ̀.” Dafidi sì ránṣẹ́, ó sì ba Abigaili sọ̀rọ̀ láti mú un fi ṣe aya fún ara rẹ̀.

And, when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said—Blessed, be Yahweh, who hath maintained the plea of my reproach, at the hand of Nabal, and hath restrained, his servant, from wrong, yea, the wrong of Nabal, hath Yahweh turned back on his own head. Then sent David, and spake with Abigail, to take her to himself wife.

40 Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Dafidi sì lọ sọ́dọ̀ Abigaili ni Karmeli, wọn sì sọ fún un pé, “Dafidi rán wá si ọ láti mu ọ ṣe aya rẹ̀.”

And the servants of David came unto Abigail the Carmelitess, —and spake unto her, saying, David, hath sent us unto thee, to take thee to himself to wife.

41 Ó sì dìde, ó sì dojúbolẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Wò ó, jẹ́ kí ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ ó jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ kan láti máa wẹ ẹsẹ̀ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ olúwa mi.”

And she arose, and bowed herself down with her face to the earth, —and said—Lo! thy handmaid, as serving-woman to bathe the feet of the servants of my lord.

42 Abigaili sì yára, ó sì dìde, ó sì gun kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀ márùn-ún sì tẹ̀lé e lẹ́yìn; òun sì tẹ̀lé àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Dafidi, o sì wá di aya rẹ̀.

And Abigail hastened, and mounted, and rode upon her ass, with her five damsels that used to journey at her feet, —and she went her way after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

43 Dafidi sì mú Ahinoamu ará Jesreeli; àwọn méjèèjì sì jẹ́ aya rẹ̀.

David took, Ahinoam also, out of Jezreel, —and, they two, became his wives.

44 Ṣùgbọ́n Saulu ti fi Mikali ọmọ rẹ̀ obìnrin aya Dafidi, fún Palti ọmọ Laiṣi tí i ṣe ara Galimu.

Saul, indeed, had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, —to Palti, sun of Laish, who was of Gallim.
