Sie Samuel 25
1 Samuel el misa, ac mwet Israel nukewa tukeni nu sie ac asor kacl. Na elos piknilya in acn sel in Ramah. Tukun ma inge, David el som nu yen mwesis in Paran.
And death came to Samuel; and all Israel came together, weeping for him, and put his body in its resting-place in his house at Ramah. Then David went down to the waste land of Maon.
2 Oasr sie mukul in acn Maon su oasr acn lal in acn Carmel. Mwet se inge el arulana kasrup. Oasr tolu tausin sheep natul, ac sie tausin nani. In pacl se inge el muta Carmel ac kalkul sheep natul.
Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel; he was a great man and had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats: and he was cutting the wool of his sheep in Carmel.
3 Inen mukul se inge pa Nabal, ac mutan kial ah pa Abigail. Mutan se inge el lalmwetmet ac oasku, a mukul sac el mwet na kou ac likkeke se. El ma in sou lal Caleb.
Now this man was named Nabal, and his wife's name was Abigail: she was a woman of good sense and pleasing looks: but the man was cruel and evil in his ways; he was of the family of Caleb.
4 Ke David el muta yen mwesis uh, el lohng lah Nabal el kalkul sheep natul,
And David had word in the waste land that Nabal was cutting the wool of his sheep.
5 na David el supwala mukul fusr singoul nu Carmel, ac sap elos in sokol Nabal, ac us lung lal nu sel.
And David sent ten young men, and said to them, Go up to Carmel and go to Nabal, and say kind words to him in my name;
6 David el sapkin tuh elos in fahk ouinge nu sel Nabal, “David el paing kom, ac el mu kut in tuh fahk lung lal nu sum ac sou lom, ac ma lom nukewa.
And say this to my brother, May all be well for you: peace be to you and your house and all you have.
7 El lohng lah kom kalkul sheep, ac el ke kom in etu lah mwet lom ma liyaung sheep nutum elos tuh muta yorosr, ac wangin kutena ma koluk kut oru nu selos. Kut tia pisre kutena ma lalos ke elos muta yorosr in acn Carmel.
I have had word that you have wool-cutters: now the keepers of your sheep have been with us, and we have done them no evil, and taken nothing of theirs while they were in Carmel.
8 Kom ku in siyuk selos ac elos fah fahk. Kut tuku ke len in kufwa se, ac David el siyuk tuh kom in kulang nu sesr. Nunak munas, kasrekut ke ma kom ku in se nu sesr ac nu sel David, mwet kawuk lom.”
If your young men are questioned they will say the same thing. So now, let my young men have grace in your eyes, for we are come at a good time; please give anything you may have by you to your servants and to your son David.
9 Mwet lal David elos tafwela kas inge nu sel Nabal ke inel David, na elos mutana soano.
And when David's young men came, they said all this to Nabal, in David's name, and said nothing more.
10 Ke Nabal el topuk el fahk, “Su David? Su mwet sacn? Nga soenna lohng ke mwet se ingan! In len inge pukanten mwet kohs kaingelik in facl se inge!
And Nabal gave them his answer and said, Who is David? who is the son of Jesse? there are a number of servants in these days running away from their masters.
11 Nga tia ku in sang bread ac kof ac ikwa ma nga akoo nu sin mwet kalkul sheep nutik uh nu sin mwet su nga tia etu lah elos tuku ya me!”
Am I to take my bread and my wine and the meat I have got ready for my wool-cutters and give it to men coming from I have no idea where?
12 Na mwet lal David elos folokla ac fahkang nu sel ma Nabal el fahk ah.
So David's young men, turning away, went back and gave him an account of everything he had said.
13 Ac David el sapkin nu sin mwet lal, “Losya cutlass nutuwos an!” Na elos nukewa oru oana el sapkin, ac David el oayapa losya cutlass natul, ac el us mwet angfoko lal som, ac filiya mwet luofoko in muta liyaung ma lalos.
And David said to his men, Put on your swords, every one of you. And every man put on his sword; and David did the same; and about four hundred men went up with David, and two hundred kept watch over their goods.
14 Sie sin mwet kulansap lal Nabal el fahk nu sel Abigail, mutan kial, “Ku kom lohng? David el supwama kutu mwet utuk kas yen mwesis me nu yorol Nabal, in fahkak kas in painguk lal nu sel, tuh pa Nabal el kaskas kou nu selos.
But one of the young men said to Nabal's wife Abigail, David sent men from the waste land to say kind words to our master, and he gave them a rough answer.
15 Sruk David ac mwet lal elos tuh arulana wo nu sesr. Elos tiana orek lokoalok nu sesr, ac ke pacl nukewa ma kut muta yorolos inimae, wangin ma lasr pisrapasrla.
But these men have been very good to us; they did us no wrong and nothing of ours was touched while we were with them in the fields:
16 Ke lusen pacl kut muta inmasrlolos ac liyaung sheep natusr uh, elos tuh karingin kut len ac fong.
But day and night they were like a wall round us while we were with them, looking after the sheep.
17 Nunak munas nunku ke ma inge, ac suk lah mea fal in orek. Lumah se inge ku in orala sie mwe fosrnga lulap nu sel Nabal ac nu sin sou lal nukewa. El arulana srangesroa, ac tia lungse lohng kutena mwet.”
So now, give thought to what you are going to do; for evil is in store for our master and all his house: for he is such a good-for-nothing person that it is not possible to say anything to him.
18 Na Abigail el sulaklak na orani lof in bread luofoko, ac pak in wain luo nwanala, sheep lumko manman tari, foto luo in wheat manman, tun in grape pao siofok, ac cake fig luofoko, ac el sang ma inge nukewa nu fin donkey ekasr.
Then Abigail quickly took two hundred cakes of bread and two skins full of wine and five sheep ready for cooking and five measures of dry grain and a hundred parcels of dry grapes and two hundred cakes of figs, and put them on asses.
19 Na el fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal, “Komtal fahsr meet, ac nga fah fahsr tukumtal.” A wangin ma el fahk nu sin mukul tumal ah.
And she said to her young men, Go on in front of me and I will come after you. But she said nothing to her husband Nabal.
20 Ke el kasrusr fin donkey natul ah, el rauni kuru se sisken eol uh, na David ac mwet lal elos fahsru suwosma nu yorol.
Now while she was going down under cover of the mountain on her ass, David and his men came down against her, and suddenly she came face to face with them.
21 David el tuh fahsr ac sifacna nunku insial, “Efu ku nga tuh liyaung ma lun mwet se ingan yen mwesis ah? Wanginna ma lal pisrapasrla. Ya pa inge molin kasreyuk luk nu sel uh?
Now David had said, What was the use of my taking care of this man's goods in the waste land, so that there was no loss of anything which was his? he has only given me back evil for good.
22 God Elan uniyuwi nga fin tia uniya mwet ingan nufon meet liki lenelik!”
May God's punishment be on David, if when morning comes there is so much as one male of his people still living.
23 Ke Abigail el liyalak David, el sa na srola liki donkey natul, ac faksufi nu infohk uh
And when Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her ass, falling down on her face before him.
24 sisken nial David, ac fahk nu sel, “Leum luk, nunak munas porongeyu! Lela tuh mwatan ma se inge in oan fuk ac tia oan facl Nabal.
And falling at his feet she said, May the wrong be on me, my lord, on me: let your servant say a word to you, and give ear to the words of your servant.
25 Nunak munas, nimet nunku kacl Nabal, tuh el tia mwet pwaye! El mwet lalfon, oana kalmen ine se lal ah! Nga tuh wangin ke pacl se mwet kulansap lom tuku nu yorol ah.
Let my lord give no attention to Nabal, that good-for-nothing: for as his name is, so is he, a man without sense: but I, your servant, did not see the young men whom my lord sent.
26 LEUM GOD pa oru tuh kom in tia foloksak ac uniya na mwet lokoalok lom. Inge nga fulahk nu sum ke LEUM GOD moul lah mwet lokoalok lom, ac mwet nukewa su srike in akkolukye kom, fah kaiyuk elos oana Nabal.
So now, my lord, by the living God and by your living soul, seeing that the Lord has kept you from the crime of blood and from taking into your hands the punishment for your wrongs, may all your haters, and those who would do evil to my lord, be like Nabal.
27 Leum luk, nunak munas eis mwe lung ma nga use inge, ac sang nu sin mwet lom ingan.
And let this offering, which your servant gives to my lord, be given to the young men who are with my lord.
28 Leum luk, kom fah nunak munas, sisla koluk luk fin oasr kutena ma sufal nga oru. LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh kom in tokosra, ac oayapa fwil nukewa nutum, mweyen kom mweun ke mweun lal. Ac kom ac fah tia oru ma koluk ke lusen moul lom.
And may the sin of your servant have forgiveness: for the Lord will certainly make your family strong, because my lord is fighting in the Lord's war; and no evil will be seen in you all your days.
29 Fin oasr kutena mwet lain kom, ku srike in unikomi, LEUM GOD lom El ac fah karinginkomyang, oana ke sie mwet el karingin mwe kasrup saok. A funu nu sin mwet lokoalok lom, El ac fah siselosla, oana ke sie mwet el sisla eot ke fuht natul.
And though a man has taken up arms against you, putting your life in danger, still the soul of my lord will be kept safe among the band of the living with the Lord your God; and the souls of those who are against you he will send violently away from him, like stones from a bag.
30 Ac ke LEUM GOD El ac oru ma wo nukewa su El tuh wulela nu sum kac, ac oru tuh kom in tokosra fin Israel,
And when the Lord has done for my lord all those good things which he has said he will do for you, and has made you a ruler over Israel;
31 na kom ac fah tia enenu in asor ku fosrnga mu kom tuh uniya mwet su wangin mwata, ku sifacna foloksak nu sin mwet. Ac ke pacl se LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kom, O leum luk, nga siyuk tuh kom in tia mulkinyula.”
Then you will have no cause for grief, and my lord's heart will not be troubled because you have taken life without cause and have yourself given punishment for your wrongs: and when the Lord has been good to you, then give a thought to your servant.
32 Ac David el fahk nu sel, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD lun Israel, su supwekomme in osun nu sik misenge!
And David said to Abigail, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be praised, who sent you to me today:
33 Kulo nu sin God ke nunak wo lom, ac ke ma kom oru misenge, tuh ma inge sruokyuwi liki nunak in akmas su nga tuh akoo tuh in mwe foloksak luk sifacna.
A blessing on your good sense and on you, who have kept me today from the crime of blood and from taking into my hands the punishment for my wrongs.
34 LEUM GOD El ikolyuwi tuh nga in tia oru kutu ma koluk nu sum. Tuh nga fulahk ye mutun God moul lun Israel, lah kom funu tia sulaklak in tuku sunyu, lukun misa mukul nukewa lal Nabal meet liki lenelik lutu uh!”
For truly, by the living Lord, the God of Israel, who has kept me from doing you evil, if you had not been so quick in coming to me and meeting me, by dawn there would not have been in Nabal's house so much as one male living.
35 Na David el insewowo in eis ma mutan se inge use nu sel, ac el fahk nu sel, “Folokot nu lohm sum an, ac nimet kom fosrnga. Nga ac oru oana ma kom siyuk an.”
Then David took from her hands her offering: and he said to her, Go back to your house in peace; see, I have given ear to your voice, and taken your offering with respect.
36 Na Abigail el folokla nu yorol Nabal, su muta in lohm sel ac oru sie kufwa lulap, oana kufwa lun tokosra. El arulana sruhi ac pwar, oru Abigail el tiana fahk kutena ma nu sel nu ke lutu tok ah.
And Abigail went back to Nabal; and he was feasting in his house like a king; and Nabal's heart was full of joy, for he had taken much wine; so she said nothing to him till dawn came.
37 Tukun Nabal el sarla liki sruhi lal, na Abigail el fahkang ma nukewa nu sel. In pacl sac mas se sikyak nu sel Nabal, ac manol nufon ulla, el kofla mukuikui.
And in the morning, when the effect of the wine was gone, Nabal's wife gave him an account of all these things, and all the heart went out of him, and he became like stone.
38 Na len singoul ma toko, LEUM GOD El unilya Nabal ac el misa.
And about ten days after, the Lord sent disease on Nabal and death came to him.
39 Ke David el lohng tuh Nabal el misa, na el fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD, tuh El foloksak nu sel Nabal ke sripen kaskas kou lal nu sik. Oayapa God El ikolyuwi, mwet kulansap lal, tuh nga in tia oru ma sufal. LEUM GOD El oru tuh koluk lal Nabal in putati facl sifacna.” Na David el supwala kas nu yorol Abigail in akkalemye lah el lungse payuk sel.
And David, hearing that Nabal was dead, said, May the Lord be praised, who has taken up my cause against Nabal for the shame which he put on me, and has kept back his servant from evil, and has sent on Nabal's head the reward of his evil-doing. And David sent word to Abigail, desiring to take her as his wife.
40 Mwet kulansap lal David elos som nu yorol Abigail in acn Carmel, ac fahk nu sel, “David el supwekutme in eis kom nu yorol, tuh kom in mutan kial.”
And when David's servants came to Carmel, to Abigail, they said to her, David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife.
41 Na Abigail el faksufi ac fahk, “Nga mwet kulansap lal, ac nga akola in oul nien mwet kulansap lal.”
And she got up, and going down on her face to the earth, said, See, I am ready to be a servant-girl, washing the feet of the servants of my lord.
42 Na el sulaklak na tuyak ac sroang nu fin donkey natul. El us mutan kulansap limekosr welul, ac elos wi mwet kulansap lal David som, ac el payukyak sel David.
Then Abigail got up quickly and went on her ass, with five of her young women, after the men whom David had sent; and she became David's wife.
43 David el payuk sel Ahinoam, sie mutan Jezreel, ac inge el payuk pac sel Abigail.
And David had taken Ahinoam of Jezreel, to be his wife; these two were his wives.
44 In pacl sac pacna Saul el eisalang Michal, acn se natul ma tuh payuk sel David ah, tuh elan payuk nu sel Palti wen natul Laish, sie mwet Gallim.
Now Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish of Gallim.
