1 Samuel 25

1 And he died Samuel and they gathered together all Israel and they mourned for him and they buried him at house his in Ramah and he arose David and he 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 a man [was] in Maon and business his [was] in Carmel and the man [was] great very and [belonged] to him sheep three thousand and one thousand goats and it was when sheared sheep his 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 And [the] name of the man [was] Nabal and [the] name of wife his [was] Abigail and the woman [was] good of insight and beautiful of appearance and the man [was] hard and evil of deeds and he ([was] a Calebite. *QK)

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 he heard David in the wilderness that [was] shearing Nabal sheep his.

Pea naʻe fanongo ʻa Tevita ʻi he toafa ʻoku fai ʻene kosi sipi ʻe Napale.

5 And he sent David ten young men and he said David to the young men go up Carmel towards and you will go to Nabal and you will ask of him in name my to welfare.

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 you will say thus to the living [one] and you peace and house your peace and all that [belongs] to you peace.

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 shearers [belong] to you now the shepherds who [belong] to you they have been with us not we have humiliated them and not it has been missing to them anything all [the] days of being they 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 own young men your so they may tell to you and let them find the young men favor in eyes your for on a day good we have come give! please [that] which it will find hand your to servants your and to son your to 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 they went [the] young men of David and they spoke to Nabal according to all the words these in [the] name of David and they rested.

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 he answered Nabal [the] servants of David and he said who? [is] David and who? [is] [the] son of Jesse this day they are many servants who break away each one from before master his.

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 And will I take bread my and water my and slaughter my which I have slaughtered for shearers my and will I give [them] to men who not I know where? from this [are] they.

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 And they turned round [the] young men of David to way their and they returned and they came and they told to him according to all the words these.

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 he said David to men his gird on - everyone sword his and they girded on everyone sword his and he girded on also David sword his and they went up - after David about four hundred man and two hundred they remained with the baggage.

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 And to Abigail [the] wife of Nabal he told a young man one from the young men saying there! he sent David messengers - from the wilderness to bless master our and he shouted at 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 And the men [were] good to us very and not we were humiliated and not we missed anything all [the] days [which] we went about with them when were we in the field.

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 A wall they were with us both night as well as by day all [the] days of being we with them shepherding the flock.

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 And now know and see what? will you do for it has been determined evil against master our and on all household his and he [is] a son of worthlessness from speaking 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 And she made haste (Abigail *Qk) and she took two hundred bread[s] and two jars of wine and five sheep (prepared *Qk) and five seahs of roasted grain and a hundred bunches of raisins and two hundred fig cakes and she put [them] on the donkeys.

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 to servants her pass on before me here I after you [will be] coming and to husband her Nabal not she told.

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 she - [was] riding on the donkey and [was] going down in [the] cover of the mountain and there! David and men his [were] going down to meet 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 And David he had said surely to deception I have guarded all that [belongs] to this [man] in the wilderness and not it has been missing any of all that [belongs] to him anything and he has returned to me evil in place of 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 Thus may he do God to [the] enemies David and thus may he add if I will leave any of all that [belongs] to him until the morning [one who] urinates on a 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 she saw Abigail David and she made haste and she came down from on the donkey and she fell to [the] face of David on face her and she bowed down [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 she fell at feet his and she said [be] on me I O lord my the iniquity and let her speak please maidservant your in ears your and hear [the] words of maidservant your.

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 May not please he set lord my - heart his to [the] man of worthlessness this on Nabal for like name his [is] so he [is] Nabal name his and disgraceful folly [is] with him and I maidservant your not I saw [the] young men of lord my whom you sent.

‌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 And now O lord my [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your that he has restrained you Yahweh from coming in blood and [from] delivering hand your you and now may they be like Nabal enemies your and those [who] seek against lord my evil.

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 the blessing this which he has brought maidservant your to lord my and it will be given to the young men who go about at [the] feet of lord my.

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 Forgive please to [the] transgression of maidservant your for certainly he will make Yahweh for lord my a house enduring for [the] battles of Yahweh lord my [is] fighting and evil not it will be found in you from days your.

‌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 And he has arisen a man to pursue you and to seek life your and it will be [the] life of lord my bound up - in [the] bundle of the living with Yahweh God your and [the] life of enemies your he will sling out it in [the] midst of [the] hollow of 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 will be that he will do Yahweh to lord my according to all that he has spoken the good on you and he will appoint you to 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 And not it will become this - for you staggering and stumbling of heart for lord my and pouring out of blood without cause and to deliver lord my himself and he will do good Yahweh to lord my and you will remember maidservant your.

‌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 he said David to Abigail [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of Israel who he has sent you the day this 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 [be] blessed discernment your and [be] blessed you who you have restrained me the day this from coming in blood and [from] delivering hand my me.

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 And but [by] [the] life of Yahweh [the] God of Israel who he has restrained me from doing harm to you if - if not you had made haste (and you had come *Qk) to meet me that except he has been left to Nabal until [the] light of the morning [one who] urinates on a 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 And he took David from hand her [that] which she had brought to him and to her he said go up to peace to house your see I have listened to voice your and I have lifted up face your.

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 she went Abigail - to Nabal and there! [belonged] to him a feast in house his like [the] feast of king and [the] heart of Nabal it was good on him and he [was] drunk up to muchness and not she told to him anything small and great until [the] light of the morning.

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 And it was in the morning when had gone out the wine from Nabal and she told to him wife his the things these and it died heart his in inward part[s] his and he he became 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 was about [the] ten the days and he struck Yahweh Nabal and he died.

Pea hili ia ko e ʻaho ʻe hongofulu nai, naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa Napale, pea naʻe mate ai ia.

39 And he heard David that he had died Nabal and he said [be] blessed Yahweh who he has conducted [the] case of disgrace my from [the] hand of Nabal and servant his he has restrained from evil and [the] evil of Nabal he has turned back Yahweh on own head his and he sent David and he spoke with Abigail to take her for himself to a 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 they went [the] servants of David to Abigail Carmel towards and they spoke to her saying David he has sent us to you to take you for himself to a 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 she bowed down face [the] ground towards and she said here! maidservant your to a maid to wash [the] feet of [the] servants of lord my.

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 she made haste and she arose Abigail and she rode on the donkey and five maids her who walked to foot her and she went after [the] messengers of David and she became of him a 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 And Ahinoam he had taken David from Jezreel and they became also both of them of him wives.

Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Tevita ʻa ʻAhinoami mei Sesilili, pea naʻa na hoko fakatouʻosi pē ko hono ongo uaifi.

44 And Saul he had given Michal daughter his [the] wife of David to Palti [the] son of Laish who [was] from 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.
