¹[Ny nahafatesan'i Samoela, ary ny amin'i Nabala sy Abigaila] Ary maty Samoela; ary nivory ny Isiraely rehetra ka nisaona azy sy nandevina azy tao amin'ny fonenany tao Rama. Ary Davida niainga ka nidina nankany an-efitra Parana.

¹Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

²Ary nisy lehilahy tao Maona, ary tao Karmela ny fananany; mpanjatobe ralehilahy ka nanana ondry telo arivo sy osy arivo, ary nanety ny ondriny tao Karmela izy.

²There 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.

³Nabala no anaran-dralehilahy; ary Abigaila no anaran'ny vavy; vehivavy hendry sady tsara tarehy izy; fa ny lahy kosa saro-po sy ratsy amin'izay ataony; ary isan'ny taranak'i Kaleba izy.

³Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful face: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

⁴Ary ren'i Davida tany an-efitra fa Nabala manety ny ondriny.

⁴David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

⁵Dia naniraka zatovo folo lahy Davida ka nanao taminy hoe: Miakara any Karmela ianareo, ary mankanesa any amin'i Nabala, ka miarahabà azy amin'ny anarako.

⁵David 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.

⁶Ary izao no holazainareo aminy: trarantitra ianao, fiadanana anie ho anao, ary fiadanana ho amin'ny ankohonanao, ary fiadanana ho amin'izay anananao rehetra.

⁶You shall tell him, ‘Long life to you! Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.

⁷Ary ankehitriny efa reko fa manety ondry ianao; koa ny mpiandry ondrinao, izay tao aminay, tsy nasianay ratsy, ary tsy nisy very na inona na inona tamin'ny andro rehetra nitoerany tao Karmela.

⁷Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds have now been with us, and we didn’t hurt them, neither was there anything missing from them, all the while they were in Carmel.

⁸Anontanio ny zatovonao, fa hilaza aminao izy. Koa aoka hahita fitia eo imasonao ny zatovo (fa andro fifaliana no ihavianay); masìna ianao, mba omeo amin'izay azon'ny tananao ireto mpanomponao sy Davida zanakao.

⁸Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes; for we come in a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand, to your servants, and to your son David.’”

⁹Ary rehefa tonga ny zatovon'i Davida, dia niteny tamin'i Nabala tamin'ny anaran'i Davida araka izany teny rehetra Izany izy, ka dia nipetraka.

⁹When David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

¹⁰Fa Nabala namaly ny mpanompon'i Davida hoe: Inona moa Davida? Ary inona moa ny zanak'i Jese? Misy mpanompo maro ankehitriny izay milefa miala amin'ny tompony.

¹⁰Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.

¹¹Koa halaiko va ny mofoko sy ny ranoko ary ny zavatra izay efa novonoiko ho an'ny mpanety ondriko, ka homeko izay olona tsy fantatro nihaviana akory?

¹¹Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who I don’t know where they come from?”

¹²Dia nihodina ny zatovon'i Davida ka nankany amin'izay nalehany; ary dia nody tany aminy indray izy ka nanambara izany teny rehetra izany taminy.

¹²So David’s young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.

¹³Ary hoy Davida tamin'ny olony: Samia manao ny sabatrareo eo amin'ny fehin-tsabany avy ianareo; ka dia samy nanao ny sabany teo amin'ny fehin-tsabany avy ny olona, ary dia mba nanao ny sabany teo amin'ny fehin-tsabany koa Davida; ary nisy tokony ho efa-jato lahy niakatra nanaraka an'i Davida, ary roan-jato lahy kosa nipetraka teo amin'ny entana.

¹³David said to his men, “Every man put on his sword!” Every man put on his sword. David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David; and two hundred stayed by the baggage.

¹⁴Ary Abigaila, vadin'i Nabala, dia nilazan'ny anankiray tamin'ny zatovony hoe: Indro, Davida naniraka olona avy tany an-efitra mba hiarahaba ny tompontsika, nefa nisafoaka tamin'ireny izy.

¹⁴But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to Greet our master; and he railed at them.

¹⁵Fa ireo lehilahy ireo dia nanao tsara tokoa taminay, ka tsy naninona tsy naninona izahay, ary tsy nisy zavatra very tamin'izay andro nitoeranay tao aminy, fony tany an-tsaha izahay.

¹⁵But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields.

¹⁶Izy no mandanay andro aman'alina tamin'ny andro rehetra nitoeranay niandry ondry tao aminy.

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

¹⁷Koa dia fantaro sy hevero ankehitriny izay hataonao; fa ratsy no ifofoan'ny tompontsika mbamin'ny ankohonany rehetra; fa Nabala dia tena ratsy fanahy, ka tsy misy olona mahazo miteny aminy.

¹⁷Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house; for he is such a worthless fellow that one can’t speak to him.”

¹⁸Dia nandeha faingana Abigaila ka naka mofo roan-jato sy divay eran'ny tavoara roa sy ondry dimy voavoatra sy lango indimin'ny vata sy takela-boaloboka maina zato ary ampempan'aviavy roan-jato, dia nasampiny tamin'ny boriky izany.[Na: siny hoditra][Heb. sea]

¹⁸Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two bottles of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five measures of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.

¹⁹Ary hoy izy tamin'ny zatovony: Mandehana eo alohako, indro, izaho hanaraka anareo; nefa Nabala vadiny tsy mba nilazany.

¹⁹She said to her young men, “Go on before me. Behold, I come after you.” But she didn’t tell her husband, Nabal.

²⁰Ary tamin'izany, nony nitaingina ny borikiny izy ka nidina tao amin'ny takon'ny havoana, dia indro, Davida sy ny olony nidina nanatona azy, ary izy nifanena taminy.

²⁰It was so, as she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.

²¹Ary Davida efa nilaza hoe: Foana tokoa ny an-efitra, ka tsy nisy very na inona na inona; fa novaliany ratsy ny soa nataoko.

²¹Now David had said, “Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. He has returned me evil for good.

²²Mba hataon'Andriamanitra toy izany anie ny fahavalon'i Davida, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha dia havelako hisy miangana na dia lehilahy iray aza izay mety ho azy ambara-pahazavan'ny andro.

²²God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall. or, male. ”

²³Ary Abigaila, raha nahita an'i Davida, dia niala faingana tamin'ny boriky ary niankohoka teo anatrehan'i Davida ka nitsaoka azy.

²³When Abigail saw David, she hurried, and alighted from her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.

²⁴Dia niankohoka tamin'ny tongony izy ka nanao hoe: Aoka ho ahy dia ho ahy ity heloka ity, tompokolahy; masìna ianao, avelao ny ankizivavinao hiteny eto anatrehanao, ka henoy ny tenin'ny ankizivavinao.

²⁴She fell at his feet, and said, “On me, my lord, on me be the iniquity; and please let your handmaid speak in your ears. Hear the words of your handmaid.

²⁵Masìna ianao, aoka ny tompoko tsy hisaina io Nabala lehilahy tena ratsy fanahy io, fa araka ny anarany ihany no toeny; Nabala no anarany, ary hadalana no ao aminy; fa izaho ankizivavinao, tompoko, tsy mba nahita ny zatovo nirahinao.[Nabala = Adala]

²⁵Please don’t let my lord regard this worthless fellow, even Nabal; for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your handmaid, didn’t see the young men of my lord, whom you sent.

²⁶Koa ankehitriny, tompoko, raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny fanahinao, Jehovah efa niaro anao tsy hahazo heloka amin'ny fandatsahan-drà ary tsy hamaly ho an'ny tenanao; ary avelao ny fahavalonao sy izay mitady hanisy ratsy anao, tompoko, ho tahaka an'i Nabala.

²⁶Now therefore, my lord, as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, since Yahweh has withheld you from blood guiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

²⁷Ary izao saotra nentin'ny ankizivavinao aminao izao, tompoko, dia aoka homena ny zatovo manaraka ny Tompoko.

²⁷Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

²⁸Masìna ianao, mamelà ny fahadisoan'ny ankizivavinao, fa Jehovah hampaharitra ny taranaky ny tompoko tokoa; fa ny tompoko miady ny adin'i Jehovah, ary tsy misy ratsy ho hita aminao amin'ny andro rehetra iainanao.

²⁸Please forgive the trespass of your handmaid. For Yahweh will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of Yahweh; and evil shall not be found in you all your days.

²⁹Nefa raha misy olona mitsangana hanenjika anao ka mitady ny ainao, dia hofehezina amin'ny fehin'aina ao amin'i Jehovah Andriamanitra ny fanahin'ny tompoko, fa ny fanahin'ny fahavalonao kosa dia hatorany toy ny eo amin'ny foitran'antsamotady.

²⁹Though men may rise up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Yahweh your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies, as from the hollow of a sling.

³⁰Ary amin'izany, raha Jehovah mahavita amin'ny tompoko araka ny soa rehetra nilazany anao ka manendry anao ho mpanapaka ny Isiraely,

³⁰It shall come to pass, when Yahweh has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and shall have appointed you prince over Israel,

³¹dia tsy ho alahelo na ho nenina amin'ny fon'ny tompoko izany, fa tsy nandatsa-drà foana ianao, na namaly ho an'ny tenanao, tompoko; fa rehefa asian'i Jehovah soa ny tompoko, dia mba tsarovy aho ankizivavinao.[Heb. fahatafintohinana]

³¹that this shall be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When Yahweh has dealt well with my lord, then remember your handmaid.”

³²Ary hoy Davida tamin'i Abigaila: Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Izay naniraka anao hihaona amiko androany.

³²David said to Abigail, “Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me!

³³Ary hotahiny anie ny fahendrenao, ary hotahiny anie ianao, izay niaro ahy androany tsy hahazo heloka amin'ny fandatsahan-drà ary tsy hamaly ho an'ny tenako.

³³Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, that have kept me this day from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.

³⁴Kanefa, raha velona koa Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Izay niaro ahy tsy hanisy ratsy anao, raha tsy avy faingana hitsena ahy ianao toy izay, dia efa tsy nasiako niangana na dia lehilahy iray aza amin'i Nabala ambara-pahazavan'ny andro.

³⁴For indeed, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn’t have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall. or, male. ”

³⁵Ka dia noraisin'i Davida teny an-tànany ilay zavatra nentiny, ary hoy izy taminy: Miakara soa aman-tsara ho any an-tranonao ianao; indro, efa nohenoiko ny feonao, ary nankasitrahako ianao.

³⁵So David received of her hand that which she had brought him: and he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. Behold, I have listened to your voice, and have granted your request.”

³⁶Ary Abigaila dia tonga tao amin'i Nabala; kanjo, indro, nanao fanasana tao an-tranony izy tahaka ny fanasan'ny mpanjaka, ary faly ny fon'i Nabala tamin'izany, ary mamo loatra izy, ka dia tsy nisy nambaran'ny vavy taminy, na kely na be mandra-pahazavan'ny andro.

³⁶Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken. Therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

³⁷Ary nony maraina, ka afaka ny hamamoan'i Nabala, dia nambaran'ny vavy taminy izany zavatra izany, ka dia matihena ny fony ka tonga tahaka ny vato.

³⁷It happened in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

³⁸Ary nony afaka hafoloana, dia nasian'i Jehovah Nabala, ka dia maty izy.

³⁸It happened about ten days after, that Yahweh struck Nabal, so that he died.

³⁹Ary nony ren'i Davida fa maty Nabala, dia hoy izy: Isaorana anie Jehovah izay niady ho ahy ka nahafa-tondromaso ahy tamin'i Nabala sy niaro ny mpanompony tsy hahatanteraka ny ratsy; fa ny ratsy nataon'i Nabala dia nampodin'i Jehovah ho eo an-dohany ihany. Ary Davida naniraka hiresaka amin'i Abigaila hila azy ho vady.

³⁹When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed is Yahweh, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil. Yahweh has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.” David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him as wife.

⁴⁰Ary nony tonga tany amin'i Abigaila teo Karmela ny mpanompon'i Davida, dia hoy izy: Davida naniraka anay hankatỳ aminao hila anao ho vadiny.

⁴⁰When the servants of David had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, to take you to him as wife.”

⁴¹Dia nitsangana izy ary niankohoka tamin'ny tany ka nanao hoe: Indro, aoka ny ankizivavinao ho mpanompo hanasa ny tongotry ny mpanompon'itompokolahy.

⁴¹She arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, “Behold, your handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”

⁴²Ary Abigaila nitsangana faingana ka nitaingina boriky, ary ankizivaviny dimy no nanaraka azy; dia nanaraka ny irak'i Davida izy, ka dia novadiny.

⁴²Abigail hurried, and arose, and rode on a donkey, with five ladies of hers who followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

⁴³Ary Davida efa nanambady an'i Ahinoama avy any Jezirela koa; ary samy novadiny avokoa izy roa vavy.Fa Saoly efa nanome an'i Mikala, zananivavy, vadin'i Davida, ho vadin'i Palty, zanak'i Laisy, avy any Galima.

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

⁴⁴Fa Saoly efa nanome an'i Mikala, zananivavy, vadin'i Davida, ho vadin'i Palty, zanak'i Laisy, avy any Galima.

⁴⁴Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
