1 Samuel 25
1 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.
Pea naʻe pekia ʻa Samuela; pea naʻe kātoa fakataha ai ʻae kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻonau tēngihia ia, pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi hono fale ʻi Lama. Pea naʻe hiki ʻa Tevita ʻo ʻalu hifo ki he toafa ʻo Palani.
2 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.
Pea naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻi Maoni, ka naʻe ʻi Kameli ʻa hono tofiʻa; pea ko e tangata lahi ia, pea naʻe tolu afe ʻene fanga sipi, pea mo e kosi ʻe taha afe: pea naʻe kosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene fanga sipi ʻi Kameli.
3 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 rude and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
Pea ko hono hingoa ʻoe tangata ko Napale; pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono uaifi ko ʻApikale: pea ko e fefine loto fakapotopoto, mo mata hoihoifua ia: ka naʻe angakovi ʻae tangata, pea kovi ʻi heʻene faianga; pea naʻe ʻoe fale ʻo Kelepi ia.
4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.
Pea naʻe fanongo ʻa Tevita ʻi he toafa ʻoku fai ʻene kosi sipi ʻe Napale.
5 And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Tevita ʻae kau talavou ʻe toko hongofulu, ʻo ne pehē ki he kau talavou, “Mou ʻalu hake ki Kameli, pea ʻalu kia Napale, ʻo lea ʻofa kiate ia ʻi hoku hingoa:
6 And thus shall all of you say to him that lives in prosperity, Peace be both to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be unto all that you have.
pea mou lea pehē kiate ia ʻoku moʻui monūʻia, Ke ʻiate koe ʻae fiemālie, ke ʻi ho fale ʻae fiemālie, pea ke ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke maʻu ʻae fiemālie,
7 And now I have heard that you have shearers: now your shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.
pea ko eni, kuo u fanongo, ʻoku ke maʻu ʻae kau kosi sipi: pea ko eni naʻe ʻiate kimautolu ʻa hoʻo kau tauhi sipi, naʻe ʻikai te mau fai ha meʻa kovi kiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa naʻe mole ʻiate kinautolu, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻemau nofo ʻi Kameli.
8 Ask your young men, and they will show you. Wherefore let the young men find favour in your eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray you, whatsoever comes to your hand unto your servants, and to your son David.
Ke ke fehuʻi ki hoʻo kau talavou, pea tenau fakahā kiate koe. Ko ia, tuku ke maʻu ʻe he kau talavou ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao: he ʻoku mau hoko ʻi he ʻaho lelei: ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, foaki mai ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku faʻa ʻomi ʻe ho nima ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ki ho foha ko Tevita.”
9 And when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
Pea ʻi he hoko atu ʻae kau talavou ʻa Tevita, naʻa nau lea kia Napale ʻi he hingoa ʻo Tevita ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē, pea ngata.
10 And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants these days that break away every man from his master.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Napale ki he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Tevita, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hai ʻa Tevita? Pea ko hai ʻae foha ʻo Sese? ʻOku ai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki tokolahi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ni ʻoku motuhi mo hola taki taha mei heʻene ʻeiki.
11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?
Pea ʻe pehē koā ʻa ʻeku toʻo ʻeku mā mo ʻeku vai, mo ʻeku fanga manu kuo tāmateʻi maʻa ʻeku kau kosi sipi, pea foaki ia ki he kau tangata ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo pē ʻoku mei fē ʻakinautolu?”
12 So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.
Ko ia naʻe tafoki ai ʻae kau talavou ʻa Tevita ʻo toe ʻalu ʻi honau hala, ʻo hoko ʻo fakahā kiate ia ʻae ngaahi tala ni kotoa pē.
13 And David said unto his men, Gird all of you 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 stuff.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita ki hono kau tangata, “Mou nonoʻo taki taha ʻae tangata ʻene heletā.” Pea naʻa nau nonoʻo taki taha ʻae tangata ʻene heletā: pea naʻe nonoʻo foki mo Tevita ʻene heletā: pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake ʻo muimui ʻia Tevita, ko e kau tangata ʻe toko fāngeau; pea naʻe nofo ʻae toko uangeau mo ʻenau ngaʻotoʻota.
14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.
Ka naʻe tala kia ʻApikale ko e uaifi ʻo Napale ʻe he talavou ʻe taha, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, naʻe fekau ʻe Tevita ʻae kau talavou mei he toafa mo e lea ʻofa ki homau ʻeiki; ka naʻa ne taukae ʻakinautolu.
15 But the men were very good unto 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:
Ka naʻe fai angalelei lahi ʻae kau tangata kiate kimautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai hamau lavea ʻiate kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai haʻamau meʻa ʻe mole ʻi he ʻemau nonofo mo kinautolu, ʻi heʻemau ʻi he ngaahi vao:
16 They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
Ko e ā ʻakinautolu kiate kimautolu ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho, ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē naʻa mau ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he tauhi ʻae fanga sipi.
17 Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.
Pea ko eni, ke ke ʻilo, pea fifili pe ko e hā ia te ke fai; he kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kovi ki hotau ʻeiki, pea ki hono fale kotoa pē: he ʻoku pehē fau ʻa ʻene angakovi, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa lea ha tangata kiate ia.”
18 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.
Ko ia naʻe fai fakatoʻotoʻo ai ʻe ʻApikale, ʻo ne toʻo ʻae mā kotoa ʻe uangeau, mo e hina uaine ʻe ua, mo e sipi ʻe nima kuo ngaohi, mo e fua uite tunu ʻe nima, mo e fuhi kālepi ʻe teau, mo e mā fiki ʻe uangeau, pea naʻa ne fakaheka ia ki he fanga ʻasi.
19 And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Mou ʻalu ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻiate au: vakai te u muimui atu.” Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne tala ki hono husepāniti ko Napale.
20 And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert on the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene heka ʻi he ʻasi, pea hoko atu ia ki he malumalu ʻoe moʻunga, vakai, ko Tevita mo hono kau tangata ʻoku ʻalu hifo fakahangatonu mai kiate ia; pea naʻe fakafetaulaki atu ia kiate kinautolu.
21 Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he has requited me evil for good.
Ka kuo ʻosi ʻene lau ʻe Tevita, ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni kuo taʻeʻaonga ʻeku leʻohi ʻae koloa kotoa pē ʻae siana ni ʻi he toafa, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻe mole ʻi heʻene ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, pea kuo ne totongi kovi ʻe ia kiate au ʻi he lelei.
22 So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisses against the wall.
Ke fai pehē mo lahi hake foki ʻe he ʻOtua ki he ngaahi fili ʻo Tevita, ʻo kapau te u tuku ʻo feʻunga mo e maʻa hake ʻae ʻaho ʻapongipongi ha tamasiʻi tangata ʻe tokotaha.”
23 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,
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa ʻApikale kia Tevita, naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ia, pea hifo mei he ʻasi, pea fakatōmapeʻe ia kia Tevita ʻi hono mata, ʻo ne punou hifo ki he kelekele,
24 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let your handmaid, I pray you, speak in your audience, and hear the words of your handmaid.
Pea naʻe fakatōmapeʻe ia ki hono vaʻe, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, tuku kiate au, tuku kiate au ʻae hia ni: pea ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke lea ʻa hoʻo kaunanga ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke fanongo ki he lea ʻa hoʻo kaunanga.
25 Let not my lord, I pray you, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I your handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom you did send.
ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ʻoua naʻa tokanga ʻe hoku ʻeiki ki he tangata angakovi ni ko Napale; he ʻoku hangē ko hono hingoa, ʻoku pehē pe ia; ko Napale hono hingoa, pea ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae vale: ka ko au ko hoʻo kaunanga naʻe ʻikai te u mamata ki he kau talavou ʻa hoku ʻeiki, ʻaia naʻa ke fekau.
26 Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, seeing the LORD has withheld you from coming to shed blood, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now let your enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
Pea ko eni, ʻE hoku ʻeiki, ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova, pea moʻui mo ho laumālie, ko e meʻa ʻi he taʻofi koe ʻe Sihova, mei he haʻu ke lingi ʻae toto, pea mei he fai totongi ʻe koe ʻaki ho nima ʻoʻou, ko ia, ke hoko ho ngaahi fili mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kumi ke fai kovi ki hoku ʻeiki, ke hangē ko Napale.
27 And now this blessing which your handmaid has brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.
Pea ko eni, ko e meʻaʻofa ni ʻaia kuo ʻomi ʻe hoʻo kaunanga ki hoku ʻeiki, ke ʻatu ia ki he kau talavou ʻoku muimui ki hoku ʻeiki.
28 I pray you, forgive the trespass of your handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fights the battles of the LORD, and evil has not been found in you all your days.
ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakamolemole ʻae hala ʻa hoʻo kaunanga: he ko e moʻoni ʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ki hoku ʻeiki ʻae fale tuʻumaʻu; koeʻuhi ʻoku fai ʻe hoku ʻeiki ʻae ngaahi tau ʻa Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ha kovi ʻiate koe ʻi ho ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.
29 Yet a man has risen to pursue you, and to seek your soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD your God; and the souls of your enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.
Ka kuo tuʻu hake ʻae tangata ke tuli koe, pea ke kumi ho laumālie: ka ko e laumālie ʻo hoku ʻeiki ʻe fakataha ia ʻi he ū moʻui ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua; ka ko e laumālie ʻo ho ngaahi fili ʻe lisingi ʻe ia ʻakinautolu kituaʻā, ʻo hangē ko e lisingi mei he loto makatā.
30 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and shall have appointed you ruler over Israel;
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka hili hono fai ʻe Sihova ki ai kiate koe, mo ne fokotuʻu koe ko e pule ki ʻIsileli;
31 That this shall be no grief unto you, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that you have shed blood causeless, or that my lord has avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember your handmaid.
ʻE ʻikai hoko ai ʻae meʻa ni ko e meʻa te ke koviʻia ai, pe fakamamahi ki he loto ʻo hoku ʻeiki, koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻo lingi taʻetotonu ʻae toto, pe ko e langomakiʻi ia, ʻa hoku ʻeiki: ka ʻoka hili ʻene fai lelei ʻa Sihova ki hoku ʻeiki, pea ke toki manatuʻi ai hoʻo kaunanga.
32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent you this day to meet me:
Pea naʻe pehē ʻa Tevita kia ʻApikale, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau koe he ʻaho ni ke fakafetaulaki kiate au:
33 And blessed be your advice, and blessed be you, which have kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
Pea fakafetaʻi koeʻuhi ko hoʻo tokoni, pea ke monūʻia pe koe, ʻa koe kuo ke taʻofi au he ʻaho ni ke ʻoua naʻaku ʻalu atu ʻo lingi ʻae toto, pea mei he langomakiʻi au ʻaki hoku nima.
34 For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel lives, which has kept me back from hurting you, except you had hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisses against the wall.
He ko e moʻoni ʻaupito, hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ne taʻofi au ke ʻoua naʻaku fai ha kovi kiate koe, ka ne taʻeʻoua hoʻo fakatoʻotoʻo pea ke haʻu ke fakafetaulaki kiate au, ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai toe kia Napale ʻo feʻunga mo e maʻa hake ʻae ʻaho ʻapongipongi ha tangata ʻe tokotaha.”
35 So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to your house; see, I have hearkened to your voice, and have accepted your person.
Ko ia naʻe maʻu ʻe Tevita mei hono nima ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi kiate ia, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻAlu fiemālie ki ho fale, vakai kuo u tokanga ki ho leʻo, pea kuo u leleiʻia ʻiate koe.”
36 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 drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻApikale kia Napale; pea vakai, naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kātoanga ʻi hono fale, ʻo hangē ko e kātoanga ʻae tuʻi; pea naʻe fiefia lahi ʻae loto ʻo Napale, he naʻe kona lahi ia: ko ia naʻe ʻikai te ne tala ai ha meʻa siʻi pe ha meʻa lahi, kaeʻoua ke ʻaho hake.
37 But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
Pea pongipongi ai ʻi he ʻalu ʻae uaine meia Napale, pea ʻi he ʻosi hono tala ʻe hono uaifi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe pongia hono loto ʻiate ia, pea naʻe hoko ia ʻo hangē ko e maka.
38 And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD stroke Nabal, that he died.
Pea hili ia ko e ʻaho ʻe hongofulu nai, naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa Napale, pea naʻe mate ai ia.
39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept his servant from evil: for the LORD has returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.
Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Tevita kuo mate ʻa Napale, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻaia kuo langomekina ʻe ia ʻa hoku manukiʻi mei he nima ʻo Napale, pea kuo ne taʻofi ʻene tamaioʻeiki mei he kovi: he kuo fakahoko ʻe Sihova ʻae angakovi ʻa Napale ki hono ʻulu ʻoʻona.” Pea naʻe ʻave ʻae lea ʻa Tevita kia ʻApikale koeʻuhi ke ne maʻu ia ko hono uaifi.
40 And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke unto her, saying, David sent us unto you, to take you to him to wife.
Pea ʻi he hoko atu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki kia ʻApikale ki Kameli naʻa nau lea kiate ia ʻo pehē, “Kuo fekau mai ʻakimautolu ʻa Tevita kiate koe, ke mau ʻave koe kiate ia ko hono uaifi.”
41 And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let your handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ia, ʻo ne fakapunou hifo hono mata ki he kelekele, ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ke hoko ʻa hoʻomou kaunanga ko e kaunanga ke kaukau ʻae vaʻe ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa hoku ʻeiki.”
42 And Abigail hasted, and arose and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
Pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ʻe ʻApikale, pea naʻe tuʻu hake pea heka ia ʻi he ʻasi, mo ʻene kau taʻahine ʻe toko nima naʻe muimui ʻiate ia; pea naʻa ne ʻalu ʻo muimui atu ʻi he kau tangata fekau ʻa Tevita, pea naʻe hoko ia ko hono uaifi.
43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Tevita ʻa ʻAhinoami mei Sesilili, pea naʻa na hoko fakatouʻosi pē ko hono ongo uaifi.
44 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.
Ka kuo foaki ʻe Saula hono ʻofefine ko Mikale, ko e uaifi ʻo Tevita, kia Faliteli ko e foha ʻo Leisi, ʻaia naʻe ʻo Kalimi.
