¹A Samuel zomrel. A shromaždil sa celý Izrael, a smútili za ním, a pochovali ho v jeho dome, v Ráme. A Dávid vstal a odišiel dolu na púšť Fáran.

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

²A bol nejaký človek v Máone, ktorého majetok bol na Karmele. A bol to veľmi veľký človek, ktorý mal tri tisíce oviec a tisíc kôz a strihal svoje ovce na Karmele.

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.

³Meno človeka bolo Nábal a meno jeho ženy Abigaiľ, a bola to rozumná žena a krásna, ale človek bol tvrdý a zlostný vo svojich skutkoch a pochádzal z rodu Kálefovho.

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 countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

⁴Keď počul Dávid na púšti, že Nábal strihá svoje ovce,

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

⁵poslal Dávid desať mládencov, a Dávid povedal mládencom: Iďte hore na Karmel a zajdite k Nábalovi a pozdravte ho v mojom mene.

⁵And David sent 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:

⁶A takto poviete: Živému zdar! A tebe pokoj i tvojmu domu pokoj i všetkému, čo máš, pokoj!

⁶and thus shall ye say to him that liveth [in prosperity], Peace be unto thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.

⁷Teraz som počul, že máš strihačov. Nuž tvoji pastieri boli s nami; neukrivdili sme im, ani sa im nič nestratilo po všetky dni, čo boli na Karmele.

⁷And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: thy shepherds have now been with us, and we did them no hurt, neither was there aught missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.

⁸Opýtaj sa svojich sluhov, a povedia ti. Preto nech najdú títo mládenci milosť v tvojich očiach, lebo sme prišli na dobrý deň. Daj, prosíme, to, čo najde tvoja ruka, svojim služobníkom a svojmu synovi Dávidovi.

⁸Ask thy young men, and they will tell 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 thy hand, unto thy servants, and to thy son David.

⁹Keď ta prišli mládenci Dávidovi, hovorili Nábalovi podľa všetkých týchto slov v mene Dávidovom a utíchli.

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

¹⁰Na to odpovedal Nábal služobníkom Dávidovým a riekol: Kto je Dávid a kto syn Izaiho? Dnes je mnoho sluhov, ktorí utekajú každý od svojho pána. -

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

¹¹A, ľaľa, vezmem svoj chlieb, svoju vodu a svoje mäso toho, čo som pobil pre svojich strihačov, a dám to mužom, o ktorých neviem, odkiaľ sú!

¹¹Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men of whom I know not whence they are?

¹²A mládenci Dávidovi sa obrátili na svoju cestu a navrátili sa a prišli a oznámili mu všetky tie slová.

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

¹³Vtedy riekol Dávid svojim mužom: Pripášte každý svoj meč! A tak pripásali každý svoj meč. A pripásal i Dávid svoj meč. A tak išlo hore za Dávidom asi štyristo mužov, a dvesto ich zostalo pri batožine.

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 baggage.

¹⁴Ale Abigaili, žene Nábalovej, oznámil jeden mládenec z mládencov Nábalových a povedal: Hľa, Dávid, poslal poslov z púšte blahoželať nášmu pánovi, a on sa hnevivo osopil na nich a odbyl ich.

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 at them.

¹⁵A tí mužovia nám boli veľmi dobrí, a nebolo nám nijako ublížené, ani sme nestratili ničoho po všetky dni, čo sme chodili s nimi, keď sme bývali na poli.

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

¹⁶Múrom nám boli i vnoci i vodne po všetky dni, čo sme boli s nimi pasúc stádo.

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

¹⁷Preto teraz vedz a vidz, čo urobíš, lebo už je hotové zlé na nášho pána i na celý jeho dom, a on je taký syn beliála, že sa nedá s ním hovoriť.

¹⁷Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house: for he is such a worthless fellow, that one cannot speak to him.

¹⁸Vtedy sa ponáhľala Abigaiľ a vzala dvesto chlebov, dve kožice vína, päť pripravených oviec, päť satov praženého zrna, sto sväzkov sušeného hrozna a dvesto hrúd sušených fíkov a naložila to na oslov.

¹⁸Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.

¹⁹A povedala svojim služobníkom: Iďte napred, hľa, ja pojdem za vami. Ale svojmu mužovi, Nábalovi, nepovedala o tom.

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

²⁰A stalo sa, kým ona jazdiac na oslovi sostupovala na skrytom mieste s vrchu, že tu hľa, i Dávid i jeho mužovia schádzali oproti nej, a tak sa stretla s nimi.

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

²¹A Dávid bol povedal: Iba na sklamanie som strážil všetko to, čo patrilo tomuto na púšti, takže sa nič nestratilo zo všetkého toho, čo bolo jeho, a odplatil sa mi zlým za dobré.

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 returned me evil for good.

²²Tak nech učiní Bôh nepriateľom Dávidovým a tak nech pridá! Ba doista neponechám zo všetkého toho, čo má, do ranného svetla, ani močiaceho na stenu.

²²God do so unto the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light so much as one man-child.

²³A keď uvidela Abigaiľ Dávida, poponáhľala sa a sosadla s osla a padla pred Dávidom na svoju tvár a poklonila sa až k zemi.

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

²⁴A padnúc k jeho nohám riekla: Na mne, môj pane, samej, nech leží tá neprávosť. A dovoľ, prosím, svojej dievke, aby hovorila v tvoje uši a počuj slová svojej dievky!

²⁴And she fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me be the iniquity; and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy handmaid.

²⁵Nech neobracia, prosím, môj pán mysle svojho srdca k tomu mužovi beliála, na Nábala, lebo jaké je jeho meno, taký aj je; Nábal, je jeho meno, a je bláznovstvo u neho. A ja, tvoja dievka, som nevidela služobníkov svojho pána, ktorých si bol poslal.

²⁵Let not my lord, I pray thee, 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 thy handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

²⁶A tak teraz, môj pane, jako že žije Hospodin, a jako žije tvoja duša, že ti Hospodin zabránil, aby si nevošiel do krvi, a aby ti nepomohla tvoja vlastná ruka. Preto teraz nech sú tvoji nepriatelia jako Nábal i tí, ktorí hľadajú proti môjmu pánovi zlého.

²⁶Now therefore, my lord, as Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing Jehovah hath withholden thee from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now therefore let thine enemies, and them that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

²⁷Nuž teraz tento dar, ktorý doniesla tvoja služobnica svojmu pánovi, nech sa dá mládencom, ktorí chodia za mojím pánom.

²⁷And now this present which thy servant hath brought unto my lord, let it be given unto the young men that follow my lord.

²⁸Odpusti, prosím, previnenie svojej dievky, lebo Hospodin istotne učiní môjmu pánovi stály dom, pretože môj pán bojuje boje Hospodinove, a zlé sa nikedy nenašlo pri tebe od počiatku tvojich dní.

²⁸Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy handmaid: for Jehovah will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fighteth the battles of Jehovah; and evil shall not be found in thee all thy days.

²⁹A keby aj povstal človek, aby ťa prenasledoval a hľadal tvoju dušu, nuž bude duša môjho pána sviazaná vo sväzku živých u Hospodina, tvojho Boha, ale dušu tvojich nepriateľov zahodí preč ako z praku.

²⁹And though men be risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as from the hollow of a sling.

³⁰A stane sa, keď učiní Hospodin môjmu pánovi všetko to dobré, o ktorom hovoril, že ho pošle na teba, a ustanoví ťa za vodcu nad Izraelom,

³⁰And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee prince over Israel,

³¹nebude ti to na závadu, ani to nebude na urážku srdca môjho pána, ako keby bol vylial nevinnú krv, alebo keby si môj pán bol sám pomohol; ale keď Hospodin učiní dobre môjmu pánovi, rozpomenieš sa na svoju dievku.

³¹that this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord hath avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.

³²Na to riekol Dávid Abigaili: Nech je požehnaný Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov, ktorý ťa poslal dnes oproti mne,

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

³³a požehnaný tvoj rozum i ty požehnaná, ktorá si ma zdržala tohoto dňa, aby som nevošiel do krvi, a aby mi nepomohla moja vlastná ruka.

³³and blessed be thy discretion, and blessed be thou, that hast kept me this day from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.

³⁴Ale jako že žije Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov, ktorý mi zabránil, aby som ti neurobil zlého, keby si sa nebola poponáhľala a prišla oproti mne, že by nebol pozostal Nábalovi do ranného svetla ani močiaci na stenu.

³⁴For in very deed, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, liveth, who hath withholden me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light so much as one man-child.

³⁵A tak vzal Dávid z jej ruky to, čo mu doniesla, a jej povedal: Iď v pokoji hore do svojho domu. Hľaď, počul som na tvoj hlas a ctím si tvoju osobu.

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

³⁶Potom prišla Abigaiľ k Nábalovi, a hľa, mal hostinu vo svojom dome, jako býva hostina u kráľa. A srdce Nábalovo sa rozveselilo v ňom, a bol náramne opilý. A nepovedala mu ničoho, ani malého ani veľkého, až bolo svetlo ráno.

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.

³⁷A stalo sa na druhý deň ráno, keď už bolo vyšlo víno z Nábala, a jeho žena mu oznámila, čo sa prihodilo, že zmŕtvelo jeho srdce v ňom, a on sa obrátil na kameň.

³⁷And it came to pass 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.

³⁸A stalo sa tak asi o desať dní, že Hospodin uderil Nábala, a zomrel.

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

³⁹Keď potom počul Dávid, že zomrel Nábal, povedal: Požehnaný Hospodin, ktorý rozsúdil pru môjho pohanenia vyhľadajúc to z ruky Nábalovej a zdržal svojho služobníka od zlého a zlosť Nábalovu shrnul Hospodin zpät na jeho hlavu. Potom poslal Dávid poslov a hovoril Abigaili, aby si ju vzal za ženu.

³⁹And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept back his servant from evil: and the evil-doing of Nabal hath Jehovah returned upon his own head. And David sent and spake concerning Abigail, to take her to him to wife.

⁴⁰A keď prišli služobníci Dávidovi k Abigaili na Karmel, hovorili jej a riekli: Dávid nás poslal k tebe, a chce si ťa vziať za ženu.

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

⁴¹A ona vstanúc poklonila sa tvárou k zemi a riekla: Hľa, nech ti je tvoja dievka za služobnicu umývať nohy služobníkov svojho pána.

⁴¹And she arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, thy handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.

⁴²Potom sa ponáhľala Abigaiľ a vstanúc sadla na osla i jej päť dievok, ktoré išly za ňou, a tak išla za poslami Dávidovými, a bola mu ženou.

⁴²And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

⁴³Achinoam si vzal Dávid z Jezreela, a boly mu obe za ženy.

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

⁴⁴A Saul dal Míchaľ, svoju dcéru, ženu Dávidovu, Paltimu, synovi Laišovmu, ktorý bol z Gallíma.

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