I Samuela 25

1 A MAKE iho la o Samuela; a hoakoakoaia'e la ka Iseraela a pau, a uwe iho la ia ia, a kanu aku la ia ia iloko o kona hale ma Rama. Ku ae la o Davida, a iho ilalo ma ka waonahele o Parana.

And Samuel died; and all the Israelites assembled, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

2 A o kekahi kauaka ma Maona, a ma Karemela kona waiwai; a he kanaka waiwai loa ia, akolu ana tausani hipa, hookahi tausani kao; a ako iho la ia i kana poe hipa ma Karemela.

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 O Nabala ka inoa o ua kanaka la, a o Abigaila ka inoa o kana wahine: a he wahine akamai i ka noonoo, a he maikai kona helehelena: aka, o ke kanaka, he huhu ia, a he hewa kana hana ana: no ko Kaleba ohana ia.

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 A lohe ae la o Davida ma ka waonahele e ako aua o Nabala i kana poe hipa.

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

5 Hoouna aku la o Davida i na kanaka ui he umi, a, i aku la o Davida i na kanaka ui, E pii ae oukou ma Karemela, a hele io Nabala la, a e aloha aku ia ia ma kuu inoa.

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 Penei oukou e olelo aku ai ia ia e ola ana, Aloha oe, aloha ko ka hale, a aloha hoi kou mea a pau loa.

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 A ua lohe iho nei au, aia no ia oe na mea ako huluhipa: o kou poe kahuhipa me makou, aole makou i hana ino aku ia lakou, aole i lilo kekahi o ko lakou mea i ka manawa a pau a lakou i noho ai ma Karemela.

And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds who were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there aught missing to them, all the while they were in Carmel.

8 E ninau aku oe i kou poe kanaka ui, a e hai mai lakou ia oe. No ia mea, e loaa auanei i na kanaka ui ke aloha imua o kou maka: no ka mea, ua hiki mai makou i ka la maikai: ke noi aku nei au ia oe, o ka mea i loaa i kou lima e haawi na kau poe kauwa, a na kau keiki, na Davida.

Ask thy young men, and they will show thee. Wherefore let the young men find favor 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 A hiki aku la ka poe kanaka ui o Davida, hai aku la lakou ia Nabala ia mau olelo a pau ma ka inoa o Davida, a hooki iho la.

And when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal in the name of David, according to all these words, and ceased.

10 Olelo mai la o Nabala i na kauwa a Davida, i mai la, Owai la o Davida, owai hoi ke keiki a Iese? I neia manawa, ua nui na kauwa, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i mahuka mai ke alo aku o kona haku.

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 E lawe anei au i kuu berena, a me ko'u wai, a me ka'u holoholona a'u i kalua'i na ka poe ako huluhipa, a e haawi aku na na kanaka a'u i ike ole ai i ko lakou wahi e hele mai nei?

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 whence they [are]?

12 A huli ae la na kanaka ui o Davida ma ko lakou ala, a hoi aku la a hiki, a hai aku la lakou ia ia ia mau olelo a pau.

So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all these sayings.

13 I aku la o Davida i kona poe kanaka, E hawele oukou o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kana pahikaua. A hawele iho la kela kanaka keia kanaka i kana pahikaua; a hawele iho hoi o Davida i kana pahikaua; aha haneri kanaka paha i hahai mahope o Davida; alua haneri i noho ma na ukana.

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 goods.

14 A hai aku kekahi o ka poe kanaka ui ia Abigaila, ka wahine a Nabala, i aku la, Aia hoi, ua hoouna mai o Davida i na elele mai ka waonahele mai e aloha mai i ko makou haku, a lele ino aku oia ia lakou.

But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers from the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed at them.

15 Aka, ua hana pono mai ia poe kanaka ia makou, aole i hana eha mai ia makou, aole i lilo kekahi mea o makou i na la a pau a makou i noho pu ai me lakou ma ke kula.

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 He pa pohaku lakou no makou ma ka po a me ke ao, i na la a pau a makou i noho pu ai me lakou, e malama ana i ka poe hipa.

They were a wall to us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

17 Ano hoi e noonoo oe a ike i kau mea e hana aku ai; no ka mea, ua manao hewa ia mai no to makou haku, a no kona ohua a pau; no ka mea, he keiki ia na Beliala, aole e pono ke olelo aku ia ia.

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 son of Belial, that [a man] cannot speak to him.

18 Alaila lalelale ae la o Abigaila, a lawe aku la i elua haneri pai berena, a i elua hue waina, a me na hipa elima i hoomakaukauia, a me na ipu hua palaoa elima i pulehuia, a i hookahi haneri paihuawaina maloo, a i elua haneri pai huafiku maloo, a kau ae la maluna o na hoki.

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 a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid [them] on asses.

19 I aku la ia i kana poe kauwa, E hele e oukou mamua o'u, aia hoi, e hahai ana au mahope o oukou. Aole ia i hai aku ia Nabala kana kane.

And she said to her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.

20 A i kona holo ana maluna o ka hoki a hiki ma kahi malu o ka mauna, aia hoi o Davida a me kona poe kanaka e iho mai ana e halawai me ia, a halawai aku la ia me lakou.

And it was [so], [as] she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and behold, David and his men came down over against her; and she met them.

21 Ua olelo iho la o Davida, He oiaio, ua malama make hewa au i na mea a pau a keia kanaka ma ka waonahele, aole i lilo kekahi o kana mau mea a pau; a ua hoihoi mai ia i ka hewa ia'u no ka pono.

(Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this [man] hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that [pertained] to him: and he hath requited me evil for good.

22 Pela hoi, a e oi aku hoi ka ke Akua e hana aku ai i ka poe enemi o Davida, ke waiho au a hiki i ka malamalama o ke ao i kekahi o kona poe kane.

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 A ike aku la o Abigaila ia Davida, lele koke iho la ia mai luna mai o ka hold, a haule ilalo ke alo imua o Davida, a kulou iho la ma ka honua.

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.

24 A haule iho la ma kona wawae, i aku la, Maluna o'u, e kuu haku, maluna o'u ka hewa: a ke noi aku nei au, e ae mai oe i kau kauwawahine, e olelo aku maloko o kou pepeiao, a e hoolohe mai i ka olelo a kau kauwawahine.

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 audience, and hear the words of thy handmaid.

25 Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, mai manao nui kuu haku i keia kanaka hewa, ia Nabala: no ka mea, e like me ke ano o kona inoa, pela hoi ia, o Nabala kona inoa, a me ia no ka lapuwale: aka, aole i ike kau kauwawahine i ka poe kanaka ui au i hoouna mai ai.

Let not my lord, I pray thee, 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 thy handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

26 Ano hoi, e kuu haku, ma ke ola o Iehova, a ma ke ola o kou uhane, no ke keakea ana o Iehova i kou hele mai e hookahe i ke koko, a me ka hoopai ana nou me kou lima iho, ano hoi, e lilo ana kou poe enemi, a me ka poe imi hewa i kuu haku, e like me Nabala.

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 Ano hoi, o keia manawalea a kau kauwawahine i lawe mai nei na kuu haku, e haawiia'ku ia na ka poe kanaka ui e hele ana ma ka wawae o kuu haku.

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 Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e kala ae oe i ka hala o kau kauwawahine: no ka mea, e hana io mai no o Iehova i hale mau no kuu haku; no ke kaua ana a kuu haku i na kaua o Iehova, aole i loaa ka hewa iloko ou i kou mau la.

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 Aka, ua ku mai kekahi kanaka e hahai ia oe, a e imi i kou ola: aka, e nakii pu ia auanei ke ola o kuu haku iloko o ka pua o ka poe ola me Iehova kou Akua; a o ke ola o kou poe enemi, nana no lakou e maa aku mai loko ae o ka maa.

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 A i ka manawa e hana mai ai o Iehova no kuu haku, e like me ka pono a pau ana i olelo mai ai nou, a e hoolilo ia oe i alii no ka Iseraela;

And it will 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 Alaila aole e lilo keia i mea kaumaha nou, a me ka hihia no ka naau o kuu haku, o kou hookahe ole ana i ke koko hala ole, a o ka hoopai ole ana o kuu haku nona: a i hana pono mai o Iehova i kuu haku, alaila e hoomanao oe i kau kauwawahine.

That this will be no grief to thee, nor offense 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 Olelo mai la o Davida ia Abigaila, E hoomaikaiia ke Akua o ka Iseraela, i kona hoouna ana mai ia oe i keia la e halawai me au:

And David said to Abigail, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me:

33 E hoomaikaiia kou naauao, a e hoomaikaiia oe i kou keakea ana mai ia'u i ka hele ana mai e hookahe i ke koko, a me ka hoopai ana no'u me kuu lima iho.

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 He oiaio, ma ke ola o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, nana i keakea mai ia'u e hana hewa aku ia oe, ina paha aole oe i hele koke mai e halawai me au, ina aole koe ia Nabala a hiki i ka malamalama o ke ao kekahi o kona poe kane.

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 A lawe aku la o Davida mai kona lima aku i ka mea ana i lawe mai ai nana, a i aku la ia ia ia, E pii pomaikai oe ma kou hale; aia hoi, ua hoolohe aku au i kou leo, a ua maliu aku au ia oe.

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 A hoi aku la o Abigaila ia Nabala; aia hoi, he ahaaina kana ma kona hale e like me ka ahaaina alii; a ua olioli ka naau o Nabala iloko ona, no ka mea, ua ona loa: no ia mea, aole ia i hai iki aku ia ia, a hiki i ka malamalama o ke ao.

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: Therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

37 A ao ae la, i ka wa i hala aku ka waina mawaho o Nabala, a hai aku la kana wahine ia ia i keia mau mea, make iho la kona naau iloko ona, a like ia me ka pohaku.

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 A he anahulu paha la ma ia hope mai, pepehi mai o Iehova ia Nabala, a make iho la ia.

And it came to pass about ten days [after], that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.

39 A lohe ae la o Davida, ua make o Nabala, i iho la ia, E hoomaikaiia o Iehova, nana i hoopai aku maluna o Nabala i kuu hoinoia mai, a nana i keakea mai i kana kauwa i ole e hana ino; a ua hoihoi aku o Iehova i ka hewa o Nabala maluna o kona poo. A hoouna aku la o Davida, a kamailio me Abigaila e lawe ia ia i wahine nana.

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 communed with Abigail, to take her to himself for a wife.

40 A hiki aku la na kauwa a Davida io Abigaila la ma Karemela, olelo aku la lakou ia ia, i aku la, Ua hoouna mai o Davida ia makou iou la e lawe ia oe i wahine nana.

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 Ku ae la ia, a kulou iho la me kona maka ma ka honua, i aku la, Aia hoi, e hooliloia kau kauwawahine i kauwa e holoi ai i na wawae o na kauwa a kuu haku.

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 A ku koke ae la o Abigaila, a hooholo maluna o ka hoki me kona mau wahine elima i hele mahope ona; a hahai aku la ia mahope o na elele a Davida, a lilo ia i wahine nana.

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.

43 Lawe hoi o Davida ia Ahinoama no Iezereela, a lilo laua elua i mau wahine nana.

David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.

44 Ua haawi aku o Saula ia Mikala kana kaikamahine, ka wahine a Davida, i wahine na Paleti ke keiki a Laisa no Galima.

But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, who [was] of Gallim.
