¹And 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.

¹In Samuel je umrl, in ves Izrael se je zbral in žaloval po njem. In so ga pokopali v hiši njegovi v Rami. David pa vstane in gre doli v Paransko puščavo.

²And 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.

²Bil pa je v Maonu mož, ki je imel posestvo svoje v Karmelu, in ta mož je bil silno velik in je imel tri tisoč ovac in tisoč koz. In je strigel ovce svoje v Karmelu.

³Now 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.

³Ime pa je bilo tistemu množu Nabal in ime ženi njegovi Abigaila; in žena je bila jako razumna in lepega lica, a mož neotesanec in hudoben v svojih dejanjih; bil pa je iz družine Kalebove.

⁴And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.

⁴Ko pa je David slišal v puščavi, da striže Nabal ovce svoje,

⁵And 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:

⁵pošlje deset mladeničev in jim reče: Pojdite gori v Karmel, in ko pridete k Nabalu, ga prijazno pozdravite v mojem imenu

⁶And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.

⁶in recite: Sreča! Mir bodi tebi in hiši tvoji mir in vsemu, kar imaš, mir!

⁷And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.

⁷Slišal sem, da imaš strižce. Pastirji pa, kar jih imaš, so bili pri nas, in nismo jim bili nadležni, tudi niso ničesar pogrešali vse dni, dokler so bili ob Karmelu.

⁸Ask thy young men, and they will show thee. Wherefore let the young men find favor in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.

⁸Vprašaj mladeniče svoje, in ti bodo povedali. Zato naj najdejo moji mladeniči milost v tvojih očeh; zakaj prišli smo na dober dan. Daj, prosim, hlapcem svojim in sinu svojemu Davidu, kar ti pride v roko.

⁹And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

⁹In ko pridejo mladeniči Davidovi, govore Nabalu po vseh teh besedah v imenu Davidovem, in umolknejo.

¹⁰And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.

¹⁰Nabal pa odgovori hlapcem Davidovim in reče: Kdo je David? in kdo je Jesejev sin? Dandanes je čimdalje več hlapcev, ki uhajajo svojim gospodarjem!

¹¹Shall 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?

¹¹Ali naj vzamem kruh svoj in vodo svojo in meso živinčet, ki sem jih zaklal za strižce svoje, in naj to dam ljudem, za katere ne vem, od kod so?

¹²So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.

¹²Tedaj se obrnejo mladeniči Davidovi na svojo pot. In pridejo nazaj k njemu in mu povedo vse te besede.

¹³And David said unto 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 stuff.

¹³In David veli možem svojim: Vsak si opaši meč! In vsi se opašejo z mečem, tudi David opaše svoj meč. In je šlo za njim gori blizu štiristo mož, dvesto jih je pa ostalo pri prtljagi.

¹⁴But 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.

¹⁴Eden mladeničev pa oznani Abigaili, ženi Nabalovi, rekoč: Glej, David je poslal sle iz puščave, da pozdravijo našega gospodarja, a on je kriče planil nanje.

¹⁵But 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:

¹⁵Toda tisti možje so nam bili dosti v prospeh, in žalega se nam ni nič zgodilo, tudi nismo ničesar pogrešali, dokler smo ž njimi občevali, ko smo bili na polju;

¹⁶They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

¹⁶bili so nam kakor zidovje po noči in po dnevi, dokler smo pri njih pasli ovce.

¹⁷Now 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.

¹⁷Zdaj torej pazi in premisli, kaj ti je storiti; zakaj hudo je sklenjeno zoper gospodarja našega in zoper vso hišo njegovo. On pa je tak otrok Belijalov, da ne more nihče ž njim govoriti.

¹⁸Then 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.

¹⁸Tedaj pohiti Abigaila, in vzame dvesto hlebov in dva mehova vina in pet pripravljenih ovac in pet meric opraženega zrnja in sto posušenih grozdov in dvesto kep smokev, in naloži to na osle.

¹⁹And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.

¹⁹In veli mladeničem svojim: Pojdite pred menoj, glejte, jaz pridem za vami! A možu svojemu Nabalu ni povedala nič.

²⁰And 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.

²⁰In ko sede na osla in jezdi doli po gorskem ovinku, pridejo ji nasproti David in možje njegovi, in jih sreča.

²¹Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good.

²¹David pa je rekel: Res sem zastonj varoval vse, kar je njegovega, v puščavi, da se ni ničesar pogrešilo tega, kar ima; še hudo mi je povrnil za dobro.

²²So 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 pisseth against the wall.

²²To naj stori Bog sovražnikom Davidovim in to naj doda, ako pustim od vsega, kar je njegovega, do jutranjega svita le enega moškega.

²³And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,

²³In ko vidi Abigaila Davida, spusti se hitro z osla in pade pred Davidom na obraz in se prikloni do tal.

²⁴And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.

²⁴In pade k nogam njegovim in reče: Na meni, gospod moj, na meni bodi ta pregreha, in dovoli, prosim, dekli svoji govoriti v ušesa tvoja, in čuj dekle svoje besede!

²⁵Let 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 thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

²⁵Ne oziraj se, prosim, gospod moj, na tistega moža Belijalovega, na Nabala; zakaj kakršno je ime njegovo, takšen je on sam: Nabal [T. j. brezumnik.] mu je ime, in brezumnost je pri njem. Jaz pa, dekla tvoja, nisem videla mladeničev gospoda svojega, ki si jih poslal.

²⁶Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

²⁶Zdaj pa, gospod moj, kakor res živi GOSPOD in živi duša tvoja: GOSPOD ti je zabranil, da nisi prišel prelivat krvi in se nisi maščeval z lastno roko. Naj torej bodo kakor Nabal sovražniki tvoji in kateri žele nesreče gospodu mojemu.

²⁷And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.

²⁷Tu je darilo, ki ga je služabnica tvoja prinesla gospodu svojemu; daj ga mladeničem, ki hodijo za gospodom mojim.

²⁸I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine 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.

²⁸Odpusti, prosim, dekli svoji prestopek; zakaj GOSPOD bo gotovo ustanovil trdno hišo gospodu mojemu, ker gospod moj se vojskuje v bojih GOSPODOVIH, in nič hudega se ni našlo na tebi, odkar živiš.

²⁹Yet a man is 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 thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.

²⁹In ako bi se vzdignil človek, da te preganja in ti streže po življenju, gospoda mojega duša bode zvezana v zvezi živečih pri GOSPODU, Bogu tvojem; a dušo sovražnikov tvojih naj zaluči kakor s prače.

³⁰And it shall 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;

³⁰In kadar GOSPOD stori gospodu mojemu po vsem dobrem, kar ti je obljubil, in ti zapove, da bodi vojvoda Izraelu,

³¹That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offense of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.

³¹ti tega ne bode žal, tudi srce ti tega ne bo očitalo, da nisi prelil krvi brez razloga in da ni samega sebe maščeval gospod moj. In ko GOSPOD stori dobro gospodu mojemu, spomni se dekle svoje.

³²And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:

³²Nato reče David Abigaili: Hvaljen bodi GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, ki te je poslal danes meni naproti!

³³And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.

³³In blagoslovljena bodi razumnost tvoja in ti bodi blagoslovljena, da si me danes zadržala, da nisem šel prelivat krvi in se maščevat z lastno roko.

³⁴For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.

³⁴Zakaj v resnici, kakor res živi GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov, ki mi je ubranil, da ti nisem storil žalega, ako bi ne bila hitro prišla naproti, gotovo bi ne bil ostal Nabalu do jutranjega svita ne eden moški!

³⁵So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

³⁵David torej sprejme iz roke njene, kar mu je prinesla, in ji reče: Pojdi v miru gori v hišo svojo! Glej, slišal sem glas tvoj in se ozrl na tvojo osebo!

³⁶And 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.

³⁶In Abigaila pride k Nabalu. In glej, pripravil je v hiši svoji gostijo, kakor kraljevo gostijo, in srce Nabalovo je bilo veselo v njem, zakaj bil je jako pijan. Zato mu ona ničesar ne pove, ne malega, ne velikega, do jutranjega svita.

³⁷But 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.

³⁷Ko pa se je zdanilo in se je Nabalu izkadilo vino, mu pove žena njegova te reči. In srce mu je v životu omrtvelo, in bil je kakor kamen.

³⁸And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.

³⁸In kakih deset dni pozneje udari GOSPOD Nabala, da je umrl.

³⁹And 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 him to wife.

³⁹In ko David zasliši, da je Nabal mrtev, reče: Hvaljen bodi GOSPOD, ki je prevzel pravdo mojo za sramotenje Nabalovo in je zadržal hlapca svojega, da ni storil hudega; in hudobnost Nabalovo mu je povrnil na glavo! In David pošlje in veli govoriti z Abigailo, da bi si jo vzel za ženo.

⁴⁰And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.

⁴⁰In ko pridejo hlapci Davidovi k Abigaili v Karmel, jo ogovore in reko: David nas je poslal k tebi, da bi te vzel za ženo.

⁴¹And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.

⁴¹Ona vstane in se prikloni z obličjem do tal in reče: Glej, tu je dekla tvoja, da bode služkinja in da umiva noge gospodarja svojega hlapcem!

⁴²And 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.

⁴²In Abigaila hitro vstane in sede na osla in za njo gre pet njenih dekel, in je šla za sli Davidovimi in mu je postala žena.

⁴³David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.

⁴³Tudi Ahinoamo iz Jezreela je vzel David za ženo. Tako sta bili obedve ženi Davidovi.Savel pa je bil dal Mihalo, hčer svojo, ženo Davidovo, Faltimu, sinu Laisovemu, iz Galima.

⁴⁴But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.

⁴⁴Savel pa je bil dal Mihalo, hčer svojo, ženo Davidovo, Faltimu, sinu Laisovemu, iz Galima.
