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 were gathered together, and lamented him; and they 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 at Maon, whose business was at Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and he was shearing his sheep at 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.

³And 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 a Calebite.

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.

⁵Then David sent out ten young men; and David said to the young men, Go 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: Long life [to thee]! and peace be to thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be to 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; now thy shepherds who were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there aught missed by 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. Therefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes; for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, what thy hand may find to thy servants, and to thy son David.

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

⁹And David's young men came, and spoke 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!

¹¹And shall I take my bread, and my water, and my flesh which I have killed for my shearers, and give [it] to men 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.

¹²And David's young men turned their way, and went back, and came and reported to him according to all those 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 to 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.

¹⁴And one of [Nabal's] young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our master; and he has insulted 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.

¹⁵And the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we companied 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 to us both by night and day, all the while we were with them feeding 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.

¹⁷And now know and consider what thou wilt do, for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household; and he is such a son of Belial, 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.

¹⁸And Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two skin-bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched [corn], and a hundred raisin-cakes, and two hundred fig-cakes, 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 to her young men, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she did not tell 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 as she was riding on the ass, and coming down by the covert of the hill, behold, David and his men came down opposite to 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 [man] had in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that was his; and he has requited 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.

²²So and more also do God to the enemies of David, if I leave of all that is his by the morning light any male.

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 lighted off the 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 fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, [upon] me let the iniquity be; but let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear 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 man of Belial, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; and I thy handmaid did not see 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.

²⁶And now, my lord, [as] Jehovah liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, seeing Jehovah has restrained thee from coming with bloodshed, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they 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 blessing which thy bondmaid has brought to my lord, let it be given to 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.

²⁸I pray thee, forgive the transgression of thy handmaid: for Jehovah will certainly make my lord a lasting house; because my lord fights the battles of Jehovah, and evil has not been 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 if a man is risen up to pursue thee and to seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with Jehovah thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out from the hollow of the 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 do to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning thee, and shall appoint thee ruler 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 stumbling-block to thee, nor offence of heart for my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall deal 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 discernment, and blessed be thou, who hast kept me this day from coming with bloodshed, 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.

³⁴But indeed, as Jehovah the God of Israel liveth, who has restrained me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any male.

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 what she had brought him, and said to 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 drunken to excess; so 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 in about ten days that Jehovah smote Nabal, and 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, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil; but Jehovah has returned Nabal's evil upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her as his 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 the servants of David came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee, to take thee as his 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 on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thy handmaid be a bondwoman 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 had also taken Ahinoam of Jizreel; and they became, even both of them, his wives.

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

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