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.

¹Saamuel suri, ja kogu Iisrael kogunes kokku ja leinas teda, ja nad matsid tema ta kodupaika Raamasse. Aga Taavet võttis kätte ja läks alla Paarani kõrbe.

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.

²Ja Maonis oli mees, kelle tööjärg oli Karmelis, ja see mees oli väga rikas: temal oli kolm tuhat lammast ja tuhat kitse; ta oli Karmelis oma lambaid niitmas.

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.

³Mehe nimi oli Naabal, ja ta naise nimi Abigail; naisel oli hea mõistus ja ilus välimus, mees oli aga karm ja tegude poolest kuri; ta oli kaaleblane.

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

⁴Kui Taavet kõrbes kuulis, et Naabal niitis oma lambaid,

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.

⁵siis läkitas Taavet sinna kümme noort meest, öeldes neile: 'Minge üles Karmelisse, ja kui te jõuate Naabali juurde, siis küsige temalt minu nimel, kuidas ta käsi käib,

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.

⁶ja öelge mu vennale nõnda: Tere! Rahu olgu sinule ja rahu su kojale ja rahu kõigele, mis sul on!

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.

⁷Ma olen nüüd kuulnud, et sul on lambaniitjad. Sinu karjased on ju olnud meie juures: me pole neid mõnitanud ega ole neilt midagi kadunud kõigel sel ajal, mis nad olid Karmelis.

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.’”

⁸Küsi oma poistelt, küll nad jutustavad sulle! Leidku siis need noored mehed armu sinu silmis, sest me oleme ju tulnud heal päeval! Anna nüüd oma sulastele ja oma pojale Taavetile, mis sul juhtub käepärast olema!'

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

⁹Ja Taaveti noored mehed tulid ning rääkisid Taaveti nimel Naabalile kõik needsamad sõnad ja jäid ootama.

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.

¹⁰Aga Naabal kostis Taaveti sulastele ja ütles: 'Kes on Taavet, kes on Iisai poeg? Nüüdsel ajal on palju sulaseid, kes põgenevad oma isandate juurest.

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?”

¹¹Kas peaksin võtma oma leiva ja vee ja tapetud loomad, mis ma olen tapnud oma niitjaile, ja andma meestele, kellest ma ei tea, kust nad pärit on?'

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

¹²Siis Taaveti noored mehed pöördusid ümber oma teekonnal ja läksid tagasi; ja nad tulid ning andsid temale edasi kõik need sõnad.

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.

¹³Siis ütles Taavet oma meestele: 'Pange igaüks oma mõõk vööle!' Nad panid igaüks oma mõõga vööle ja Taavet ise pani ka oma mõõga vööle. Ja nad läksid Taaveti järel, ligi nelisada meest, kuna kakssada jäi asjade juurde.

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.

¹⁴Aga Abigailile, Naabali naisele, teatas üks poistest, öeldes: 'Vaata, Taavet läkitas käskjalad kõrbest meie isandat tervitama, aga tema kärkis nendega.

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.

¹⁵Need mehed olid meie vastu väga head, nad ei mõnitanud meid ega kadunud meilt midagi kõigel sel ajal, mil väljal olles rändasime nende juures.

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

¹⁶Nagu müür olid nad meie ümber, niihästi öösel kui päeval, kõige selle aja, mil me olime nende juures lambaid ja kitsi karjatamas.

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.”

¹⁷Nüüd siis tea, ja vaata, mida sa saad teha, sest midagi kurja on otsustatud meie isanda ja kogu ta koja vastu; aga ta ise on ju paharetipoeg, tema enesega ei saa rääkida!'

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.

¹⁸Siis Abigail ruttas ja võttis kakssada leiba, kaks lähkrit veini, viis valmistatud lammast, viis mõõtu kõrvetatud teri, sada rosinakakku ja kakssada viigimarjakakku ning pani need eeslite selga.

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

¹⁹Ja ta ütles oma poistele: 'Minge minu eel, vaata, ma tulen teie järel!' Aga oma mehele Naabalile ta sellest ei rääkinud.

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.

²⁰Ja kui ta siis sõitis eesli seljas ja läks mäe varjus alla, vaata, siis tulid Taavet ja tema mehed temale vastu ja ta kohtas neid.

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.

²¹Aga Taavet oli öelnud: 'Tõesti, ma olen asjatult hoidnud kõike seda, mis sel mehel kõrbes oli, nõnda et midagi ei kadunud kõigest sellest, mis tal oli; ja tema tasub mulle head kurjaga.

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. ”

²²Jumal tehku Taaveti vaenlastega ükskõik mida, kui ma kõigist, kes tal on, hommikuks alles jätan veel mõne meesolendi!'

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

²³Ja kui Abigail nägi Taavetit, siis ta hüppas kähku eesli seljast ja heitis Taaveti ette silmili ning kummardas maani.

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.

²⁴Ta langes tema jalgade juurde ja ütles: 'Minu peal on süü, mu isand. Lase nüüd oma teenijat su kuuldes rääkida ja kuule oma teenija sõnu!

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.

²⁵Ärgu mu isand ometi hooligu sellest kõlvatust mehest Naabalist; sest nagu nimi, nõnda on ta ise - Naabal on ta nimi ja rumal ta on! Aga mina, su teenija, ei näinud mu isanda noori mehi, keda sa olid läkitanud.

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.

²⁶Ja nüüd, mu isand, nii tõesti kui Issand elab ja nii tõesti kui sa ise elad, Issand on takistanud sind sattumast veresüüsse ja aitamast iseennast oma käega: nüüd saagu Naabali sarnaseks su vaenlased ja need, kes püüavad teha kurja mu isandale!

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

²⁷Ja nüüd antagu see and, mis su teenija on toonud mu isandale, noortele meestele, kes käivad mu isanda kannul!

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.

²⁸Anna siis andeks oma teenija üleastumine! Sest Issand teeb tõesti mu isandale ühe kindla koja, sellepärast et mu isand võitleb Issanda võitlusi. Ja kurja ei leita sinus kogu su eluajal.

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.

²⁹Ja kui keegi tõuseks sind taga ajama ja su hinge püüdma, siis on mu isanda hing seotud elavate kimpu Issanda, su Jumala juures; aga su vaenlaste hinged ta lingutab lingupesast välja.

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,

³⁰Ja kui Issand teeb mu isandale kõike seda head, millest ta sulle on rääkinud, ja määrab sind Iisraelile vürstiks,

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.”

³¹siis ärgu saagu see sulle komistuseks ega mu isandale südametunnistuse piinaks, et oleksid põhjuseta valanud verd ja mu isand oleks aidanud iseennast! Ja kui Issand teeb mu isandale head, siis mõtle oma teenijale!'

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

³²Ja Taavet ütles Abigailile: 'Õnnistatud olgu Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, kes sellel päeval on sind mulle vastu läkitanud!

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.

³³Õnnistatud olgu su mõistus ja õnnistatud ole sa ise, et sa täna mind oled takistanud veresüüsse sattumast ja iseennast oma käega aitamast!

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. ”

³⁴Aga tõepoolest, nii tõesti kui elab Issand, Iisraeli Jumal, kes mind on keelanud sulle kurja tegemast, kui sa mitte poleks rutanud ja mulle vastu tulnud, ei oleks Naabalile koiduajaks alles jäänud ühtegi meesolendit.'

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.”

³⁵Siis võttis Taavet naise käest vastu, mis too temale oli toonud, ja ütles: 'Mine rahuga koju! Vaata, ma olen kuulnud su häält ja olen tõstnud üles su palge.'

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.

³⁶Kui Abigail tuli Naabali juurde, vaata, siis oli temal oma kojas pidu, otse kuninglik pidu. Naabali süda oli rõõmus ja ta oli väga joobnud, seepärast ei jutustanud Abigail talle midagi, ei vähemat ega rohkemat, enne kui hommik koitis.

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.

³⁷Aga hommikul, kui Naabalist oli vein haihtunud, jutustas ta naine temale neist asjust; siis suri tal süda rinnus ja ta otsekui kivines.

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

³⁸Ja ligi kümne päeva pärast lõi Issand Naabalit, nõnda et ta suri.

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.

³⁹Kui Taavet kuulis, et Naabal oli surnud, ütles ta: 'Õnnistatud olgu Issand, kes on lahendanud minu teotuse riiuasja, mille Naabal põhjustas, ja kes on hoidnud oma sulast kurja tegemast! Naabali kurjuse tasus aga Issand ta enese pea peale.' Siis Taavet läkitas käskjalad ja käskis Abigailile öelda, et ta tahab võtta teda enesele naiseks.

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.”

⁴⁰Ja Taaveti sulased tulid Abigaili juurde Karmelisse ja rääkisid temaga ning ütlesid: 'Taavet läkitas meid sinu juurde, et võtta sind enesele naiseks.'

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.”

⁴¹Siis ta tõusis ja kummardas silmili maha ning ütles: 'Vaata, su teenija on valmis saama orjaks, kes peseb oma isanda sulaste jalgu.'

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.

⁴²Ja Abigail tõusis kiiresti ning sõitis eesli seljas, samuti tema viis teenijatüdrukut, kes käisid ta kannul; ta järgnes Taaveti käskjalgadele ja sai tema naiseks.

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

⁴³Ahinoami võttis Taavet Jisreelist ja nõnda said need mõlemad tema naisteks.

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

⁴⁴Aga Saul oli andnud oma tütre Miikali, Taaveti naise, Paltile, Laisi pojale, kes oli pärit Gallimist.
