1 Sa: miuele da bogoi. Amola Isala: ili fi dunu huluane da ema asigiba: le idigimusa: gilisi. Ilia da moi hi lai (La: ima) amogai e uli dogone sali. Amolalu, Da: ibidi da wadela: i hafoga: i soge Ba: ila: ne amoga asi.
Now Samuel died. All Israel gathered together and mourned for him, and they buried him in his house at Ramah. Then David rose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
There was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel. The man was very wealthy. He had three thousand sheep and one thousand goats. He was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
3 Amogawi, Ga: ilebe fi dunu ea dio amo Na: iba: le da Ma: ione moilaiga esalebe ba: i. E da Gamele moilai gadenene dialebe soge gagui. E da bagade gagui dunu. E da sibi 3,000 agoane amola goudi 1,000 agoane gagui galu. Ea uda da isisima: goi ba: i amola bagade dawa: su ba: i. Be Na: iba: le da uasu amola hedolo mi hanasu dunu agoane ba: i. Na: iba: le da Gamele amoga ea sibi hinabo dadamunanebe ba: i,
The man's name was Nabal, and the name of his wife was Abigail. The woman was intelligent and beautiful in appearance. But the man was harsh and evil in his dealings. He was a descendant of the house of Caleb.
4 amola Da: ibidi da wadela: i hafoga: i soge ganodini esalu, amo hou nabi.
David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
5 Amaiba: le, e da ayeligi dunu nabuane amo Na: iba: lema hahawane sia: sia: ma: ne, Gamele moilaiga asunasi.
So David sent ten young men. David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
6 E da ili Na: iba: lema amane sia: ma: ne sia: i, “Sama! Da: ibidi da dima, dia sosogo amola dili huluane dilima ea asigi sia: sia: sisa.
You will say to him, 'Live in prosperity. Peace to you and peace to your house, and peace be to all that you have.
7 E da nabi amo di da dia sibi ilia hinabo dadamusa: esala. Ea hanai da dia sibi ouligisu da nini esala amola ninia da ilima se hame iasu, di da amo dawa: mu e da hanai. Ilia da Gamele amogai esaloba, ilia liligi afae wamolai hame ba: i.
I hear that you have shearers. Your shepherds have been with us, and we did them no harm, and they missed nothing the whole time they were in Carmel.
8 Di da dia hawa: hamosu dunu ilima adole ba: sea, ilia da amo defele dima olelemu. Ninia da lolo nabe esoga dima misi wea. Di da nini aowama: ne, Da: ibidi da dima edegesa. Nini amola dia na: iyado Da: ibidi fidima: ne, dia imunu amo ninima ima.”
Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Now let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we have come on a festive day. Please give whatever you have on hand to your servants and to your son David.'”
9 Da: ibidi ea dunu da Da: ibidi ea sia: amo Na: iba: lema olelelalu, ouesalu.
When David's young men arrived, they said all of this to Nabal on David's behalf and then waited.
10 Na: iba: le da aligili, amalu amane adole i, “Da: ibidi da nowala: ? Na da ea dio hamedafa nabi. We galu ninia soge da hobeale asi udigili hawa: hamosu dunu amoga nabai gala!
Nabal answered David's servants, “Who is David, and who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants these days who are breaking away from their masters.
11 Na da na agi gobei, hano amola ohe na da na sibi hinabo dadamusu dunugili ima: ne fanelegei, amo lale, dunu amo da habodili misi na hame dawa: , amogili hamedafa imunu!”
Should I take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who come from I do not know where?”
12 Da: ibidi ea dunu da ema buhagili, Na: iba: le ea sia: i ema adodole i.
So David's young men turned away and came back, and told him everything that was said.
13 Da: ibidi da ea dunuma amane sia: i, “Dilia! Gegesu gobihei salawane idinigima!” Amalalu, ilia da amane hamoi. Da: ibidi amola da ea gegesu gobihei idiniginisi. E amola ea dunu 400 agoane da Na: iba: le e doagala: musa: asi. Ea dunu eno 200 agoane da ilia liligi ouligima: ne, Ba: ila: ne sogega ouesalu.
David said to his men, “Every man strap on his sword.” So every man strapped on his sword. David also strapped on his sword. About four hundred men followed after David, and two hundred stayed by the baggage.
14 Na: iba: le ea hawa: hamosu dunu afae da Na: iba: le idua A: biga: ilema amane sia: i, “Di da nabibala: ? Da: ibidi da hafoga: i sogega asigi sia: ninia hina ema sia: si. Be e da bu Da: ibidima ougili sisa: noi.
But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife; he said, “David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master, and he insulted them.
15 Be Da: ibidi amola ea dunu da ninima obenane hamoi. Ilia da ninima se hame iasu. Amola ninia da ili amola sogega gilisili esalea, ninia da liligi afae wamolai hamedafa ba: i.
Yet the men were very good to us. We were not harmed and did not miss anything as long as we went with them when we were in the fields.
16 Ninia da sibi wa: i ouligisa esalea, ilia da yoga amola gasia, ninima noga: le gaga: su.
They were a wall to us both day and night, all the while we were with them tending the sheep.
17 Amo hou noga: le dawa: lalu, dia hamomu ilegema. Ea hamobeba: le, ninia hina amola ea sosogo huluane da se bagade nabimu agoai galebe. E da gasa fi bagade hamobeba: le, e da dunu eno ilia sia: hamedafa naba.”
Therefore know this and consider what you will do, for evil is plotted against our master, and against his whole house. He is such a worthless fellow that one cannot reason with him.”
18 A: biga: ile da hedolowane agi ga: gi 200 amola bulamagau gadofoga hamoi daba waini hano nabai aduna, sibi houi biyale, gagoma egegei17 gilogala: me, waini fage gagabu fofogai 100 agoane amola figi ifa fage fofogai ga: gi 200 agoane amo lale, dougi da: iya lidili lelegesa lai.
Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves, two bottles of wine, five sheep already prepared, five measures of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.
19 Amalalu, e da ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia bisili masa! Na da fa: no bobogemu.” Be e da egoa ema hamedafa sia: i.
She said to her young men, “Go on before me, and I will come after you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
20 E da dougi da: iya fila heda: le, agolo goulole aliagaloba, hedolowane Da: ibidi amola ea dunu migadenene manebe ba: i.
As she rode on her donkey and came down by the cover of the mountain, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them.
21 Da: ibidi amane dadawa: lu, “Na da abuliba: le amo dunu ea liligi hafoga: i sogega ouligilalula: ? E da liligi afae wamolai hamedafa ba: i. Be na da e fidibiba: le, e da nama wadela: i bidi dabe iaha.
Now David had said, “Surely in vain have I guarded all that this man has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him, and he has returned me evil for good.
22 Na da hame hadigia amo dunu huluane hame fane lelegesea, Hina Gode da na fane legemu da defea.”
May God do so to me, David, and more also, if by the morning I leave so much as one male of all who belong to him.”
23 A: biga: ile da Da: ibidi ba: beba: le, hedolowane dougi da: iya esalu alia gudui amalu hi gobele Da: ibidi ea emo bega: osoba gala: la sa: ili,
When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got down from her donkey and lay before David facedown and bowed herself to the ground.
24 amola ema amane sia: i, “Dafawane hina! Na sia: nabima! Na da amo da: i diosu dabe lala!
She lay at his feet and said, “On me alone, my master, be the guilt. Please let your servant speak to you, and listen to the words of your servant.
25 Na: iba: le da noga: i hame dunu! Ea sia: mae nabima! Dafawane! E da ea dio dawa: loma: ne defele gagaoui dunu esala! Hina! Dia hawa: hamosu dunu da doaga: loba, na da amogawi hame galu.
Let not my master regard this worthless fellow, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. But I your servant did not see the young men of my master, whom you sent.
26 Dia ha lai dunuma dabele fane legemu logo, Hina Gode E da hedofai. Amola wali na da Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le amane sia: sa, dia ha lai amola dunu huluane da dima se imunusa: dawa: lala, amo da Na: iba: le ea se iasu lamu defele, se iasu ba: mu.
Now then, my master, as Yahweh lives, and as you live, since Yahweh has restrained you from bloodshed, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now let your enemies, and those who seek to do evil to my master, be like Nabal.
27 Dafawane hina! Na dima udigili imunusa: gaguli misi goe lale, dia dunuma ima.
Now let this present that your servant has brought to my master be given to the young men who follow my master.
28 Dafawane hina! Na da wadela: i hou hamoi galea, amo gogolema: ne olofoma. Hina Gode da di amola digaga fi hina bagade hamomu. Bai di Ea gegesu hamonana. Amola di da esalea, wadela: i hou hamedafa hamomu.
Please forgive the trespass of your servant, for Yahweh will certainly make my master a sure house, because my master is fighting the battles of Yahweh; and evil will not be found in you so long as you live.
29 Nowa da dima doagala: le, fane legemusa: dawa: sea, dia Hina Gode da dunu da gobolo gene ouligibi defele, di gaga: mu. Be dia ha lai dunu amo Hina Gode da dunu da ifa badaga ga: muga: dadiga gele fodole gala: be defele, galagamu.
Though men rise up to pursue you to take your life, yet the life of my master will be bound in the bundle of the living by Yahweh your God; and he will sling away the lives of your enemies, as from the pocket of a sling.
30 Amola Hina Gode da dima amo noga: i hou huluane E ilegei amo hamone dagosea, amola di Isala: ili hina bagade hamoi dagosea,
Yahweh will have done for my master everything he promised you, and has appointed you leader over Israel.
31 amola di da dia hamobeba: le, dia asigi dawa: su ganodini se hame nabimu. Bai di da dabele dunu hame fai amola udigili hame fai. Amola Hina Gode da dima hahawane dogolegele hou hamoi dagosea, dafawane na amola mae gogolema.”
This will not be a staggering burden for you—that you have poured out innocent blood, or because my master attempted to rescue himself. For when Yahweh will do good for my master, remember your servant.”
32 Da: ibidi da A: biga: ilema amane sia: i, “Hina Godema nodoma! Isala: ili Gode da wali eso di nama asunasiba: le, Ema nodomu da defea.
David said to Abigail, “May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be blessed, he who sent you to meet me today.
33 Di da wali eso noga: le dawa: beba: le, noga: le hamoi. Na da wadela: i medole legesu hou amola dabe medole legesu hou dawa: i galu. Be di da amo logo hedofaiba: le, na Godema nodosa.
Your wisdom is blessed and you are blessed, because you have kept me today from bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand!
34 Na dima se imunusa: dawa: i. Be Hina Gode da amo logo hedofai. Be na Esalebe Isala: ili Gode amo Ea Dioba: le amane dafawane sia: sa. Di da hedolowane nama doaga: musa: hame misi ganiaba, hahabe galu Na: iba: le ea dunu huluane da bogogia: i dagoi ba: la: loba.”
For in truth, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, he who has kept me from hurting you, unless you had hurried to come meet me, there would certainly have not been left to Nabal so much as one male baby by morning.”
35 Amalalu, Da: ibidi da A: biga: ile ea gaguli misi liligi amo lai. E ema amane sia: i, “Dina: diasuga buhagima. Amola mae dawa: ma! Na dia hanai defele hamomu.”
So David received from her hand what she had brought him; he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house; see, I have listened to your voice and have accepted you.”
36 A: biga: ile da Na: iba: lema buhagi. E da lolo nabe amo hina bagade ea lolo nabe defele nanebe ba: i. E da feloai amola hahawane galu. Amaiba: le, A:biga: ile e da ea hamoi ema mae adole, golale hahabe fawane adoi.
Abigail went back to Nabal; behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. So she told him nothing at all until the morning light.
37 Amalalu, e da feloai gumibiba: le, A:biga: ile e da liligi huluane ema adodole i. Na: iba: le da bagade olole, da: i hulu gadoi dagoi ba: i.
It came about in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things; his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.
38 Eso nabuyane baligili, Hina Gode da Na: iba: le fane, e bogoi.
It came about ten days later that Yahweh attacked Nabal so that he died.
39 Da: ibidi da Na: iba: le bogoi nababeba: le, amane sia: i, “Hina Godema nodosa! Na: iba: le da nama sisa: nobeba: le, Hina Gode da ema dabe i. Amola, na Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu, na da wadela: le mae hamoma: ne E da gaga: i. Hina Gode da Na: iba: le hina: wadela: i houga se iasi.” Amalalu, Da: ibidi da A: biga: ile lama: ne sia: sia: si.
When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “May Yahweh be blessed, who has taken up the cause of my insult from the hand of Nabal and has kept back his servant from evil. He has turned Nabal's evil action back on his own head.” Then David sent and spoke to Abigail, to take her to himself as wife.
40 Da: ibidi ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilia da Gamele amoga asili, A:biga: ilema amane sia: i, “Da: ibidi da di lamu sia: beba: le, e da ninia di lala masa: ne asunasi.”
When David's servants had come to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her and said, “David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife.”
41 A: biga: ile da osoboa beguduli, amane sia: i, “Na da ea hawa: hamosu uda. Na da ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilia emo dodofemusa: momageiwane esala.”
She arose, bowed herself with her face to the ground, and said, “See, your female servant is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my master.”
42 E da hedolo wa: legadole, ea dougi da: iya fila heda: i. E amola ea hawa: hamosu a: fini biyale gala, da Da: ibidi ea hawa: hamosu dunu ili bisili asili, amola Da: ibidi ema fi.
Abigail hurried and arose, and rode on a donkey with five servant girls of hers who followed her; and she followed David's messengers and became his wife.
43 Da: ibidi da musa: Ahinoua: me (Yeseliele uda) amo lai galu, amola waha da A: biga: ile amowane ea uda hamoi.
Now David had also taken Ahinoam of Jezreel as a wife; both of them became his wives.
44 Amabe galuwane, Solo da ea uda mano Ma: iga: le amo da Da: ibidi igili i galobawane, bu Ba: ladai (Ga: lime moilai dunu La: ise, amo egefe) amogili i galu.
Also, Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Paltiel son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
