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.

¹¶ Na ka mate a Hamuera, a ka huihui a Iharaira katoa ki te tangi ki a ia, a tanumia iho ia ki tona whare ki Rama. Na ka whakatika a Rawiri, a haere ana ki te koraha o Parana.

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.

²¶ A i Maono tetahi tangata, kei Karamere ona taonga; he nui rawa taua tangata, e toru mano ana hipi, kotahi mano nga koati: heoi kei te kutikuti tera i ana hipi ki Karamere.

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.

³Na ko te ingoa o taua tangata ko Napara, ko Apikaira hoki te ingoa o tana wahine; a he pai nga whakaaro o te wahine, he mata ataahua ano hoki: he pakeke ia te tane, i kino hoki ana mahi; no te whare ano ia o Karepe.

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

⁴A ka rongo a Rawiri i te koraha kei te kutikuti a Napara i ana hipi.

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.

⁵Ka unga etahi taitama e Rawiri, kotahi tekau; i mea hoki a Rawiri ki nga taitama, Haere ki runga ki Karamere, a ka tae ki a Napara, ka oha ki ai ia, me te whakahua ano i toku ingoa:

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.

⁶A kia penei ta koutou ki atu ki taua tangata e noho ora mai nei, Kia mau te rongo ki a koe, kia mau te rongo ki tou whare, kia mau te rongo ki au mea katoa.

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.

⁷Na kua rongo nei ahau he kaikutikuti au: na, au hepara i a matou ra, kihai ratou i ahatia e matou, kihai rawa hoki tetahi o a ratou mea i ngaro i nga ra katoa o ratou ki Karamere.

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.’”

⁸Mau e ui ki au taitama, a ka korerotia e ratou ki a koe. Na kia manakohia nga taitama na e koe; kua tae mai hoki matou i te ra pai. Tena, homai ta tou ringa i tupono ai ki au pononga, ki tau tama hoki, ki a Rawiri.

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

⁹Na, i te taenga o nga tangata a Rawiri, korerotia ana e ratou enei kupu katoa ki a Napara, me te whakahua ano i te ingoa o Rawiri, a heoi ano ta ratou.

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.

¹⁰Na ka utu a Napara ki ta nga tangata a Rawiri, ka mea, Ko wai a Rawiri? ko wai hoki te tama a Hehe? he tini nga pononga i enei ra e tahuri ana i o ratou rangatira.

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?”

¹¹Me tango koia e ahau taku taro, toku wai, me aku mea hoki i patua nei e ahau ma aku kaikutikuti, me hoatu ma nga tangata kahore nei i mohiotia e ahau no hea ranei ratou?

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

¹²¶ Na ka tahuri nga tangata a Rawiri ki to ratou ara, a hoki ana, haere ana, korerotia ana e ratou ki a ia enei mea katoa.

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.

¹³Na ka mea a Rawiri ki ana tangata, Whitikiria a koutou hoari, e tenei, e tenei. Na whitikiria ana e ratou tana hoari, tana hoari; i whitiki ano a Rawiri i tana hoari. Na ka haere ki runga, ka whai i a Rawiri: tata tonu aua tangata ki te wha nga rau; e rua hoki nga rau i noho ki nga taonga.

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.

¹⁴Otiia ka korero tetahi o nga taitama ki a Apikaira wahine a Napara ka mea, Nana, i tona mai etahi tangata e Rawiri i te koraha, ki te oha ki to matou rangatira; heoi whakatupehupehu ana ia ki a ratou.

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.

¹⁵Otiia pai rawa aua tangata ki a matou, kihai hoki i aha ki a matou, kihai ano i ngaro tetahi mea a matou i nga ra katoa i haereere tahi ai matou me ratou, i a matou ra i te parae.

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

¹⁶He taiepa ratou ki a matou i te po, i te ao, i nga ra katoa i tata ai matou ki a ratou, i a matou e tiaki ana i nga hipi.

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.”

¹⁷Tena ra, mau e whakaaro, e titiro ki tau e mea ai; kua takoto hoki he kino mo to matou rangatira, ratou ko tona whare katoa: koia rawa hoki kia tama ia na Periara, kahore tetahi e ahei te korero ki a ia.

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.

¹⁸¶ Na hohoro tonu a Apikaira, maua atu ana e ia he taro e rua rau, he waina e rua nga ipu, he hipi e rima, he mea kua oti te taka, he kanga pahuhu e rima nga mehua, he tautau karepe maroke kotahi rau, he papa piki e rua rau, he mea whakawaha ki te kaihe.

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

¹⁹Na ka mea ia ki ana taitama, Hoake ki mua i ahau; tena ahau te haere atu na i muri i a koutou. Kihai hoki i korerotia e ia ki tana tahu, ki a Napara.

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.

²⁰Na i a ia e haere atu ana i runga i tona kaihe, a e heke atu ana i te wahi ruru o te maunga, na ko Rawiri ratou ko ana tangata e heke mai ana, e tika mai ana ki a ia; na pono tonu atu ia ki a ratou.

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.

²¹Heoi kua ki a Rawiri, Maumau tiaki noa ahau i nga mea katoa a tenei koroke i te koraha, kahore rawa hoki tetahi o ana mea katoa i ngaro; na utua mai ana e ia te pai ki te kino.

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. ”

²²Kia meatia tenei e te Atua ki nga hoariri o Rawiri me etahi mea ano hoki, ki te waiho e ahau o ana mea katoa i te aonga ake kia kotahi nei tamaiti tane.

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

²³Na, i te kitenga o Apikaira i a Rawiri, hohoro tonu ia, marere ana ki raro i te kaihe, tapapa ana i te aroaro o Rawiri, me te piko ano ki te whenua.

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.

²⁴Na ka takoto ia ki ona waewae, a ka mea, Hei runga i ahau, e toku ariki, hei runga i ahau te kino; na kia korero tau pononga wahine ki ou taringa, whakarongo mai hoki ki nga kupu a tau pononga.

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.

²⁵Kaua te ngakau o toku ariki e mea ki tenei tangata a Periara, ki a Napara: ko tona ingoa hoki, ko ia, rite tahi: ko Napara tona ingoa; kei a ia ano te wairangi. Ko ahau ia, ko tau pononga wahine, kihai i kite i nga taitama a toku ariki i tonoa a ke ra e koe.

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.

²⁶Na, e toku ariki, e ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana hoki tou wairua, i a Ihowa kau pupuri nei i a koe i te hara o te whakaheke toto, kei pa tou ringa ake ki te rapu utu, kia rite aianei ki a Napara ou hoariri, me te hunga e rapu ana i te he mo toku a riki.

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

²⁷Na, ko tenei manaakitanga i kawea mai nei e tau pononga ki toku ariki, tukua kia hoatu ki nga taitama i raro i nga waewae o toku ariki.

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.

²⁸Tena ra, whakarerea noatia iho te kino a tau pononga wahine; he mea kua takoto rawa ta Ihowa whakapumau i te whare o toku ariki; e whawhai ana hoki toku ariki i nga whawhai a Ihowa; a e kore e mau tetahi he ou i ou ra katoa.

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.

²⁹Ahakoa whakatika mai tetahi tangata ki te whai i a koe, ki te rapu i tou wairua, heoi ka paiherea te wairua o toku ariki ki roto ki te paihere ora ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua; ko nga wairua ia o ou hoariri ka piua atu me te mea no waenga pu i te kot aha.

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,

³⁰A tenei ake, kei ta Ihowa meatanga ki toku ariki i nga mea katoa i korerotia e ia hei pai mou, a ka whakaturia koe e ia hei rangatira mo Iharaira;

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.”

³¹Na, e kore tenei e waiho hei whakapouri mou, hei whakararu ranei mo te ngakau o toku ariki, ara tau whakaheke noa i te toto, te rapu ranei a toku ariki i te utu mona ake: e puta raia ta Ihowa pai ki toku ariki, na kia mahara ki tau pononga wahin e.

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

³²¶ Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Apikaira, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, nana nei koe i tono mai i tenei ra ki te whakatau i ahau.

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.

³³Kia whakapaingia ano tou whakaaro tika, kia whakapaingia ano koe, mou i pupuri i ahau i tenei ra i te hara o te whakaheke toto, i te rapu utu hoki a toku ringa ake.

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. ”

³⁴Na e ora ana a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, nana nei ahau i pupuri kei kino ki a koe, me i kahore koe i hohoro te haere mai ki te whakatau i ahau, ina, kihai i toe ki te awatea apopo teahi mea a Napara kia kotahi nei tamaiti tane.

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.”

³⁵Heoi ka tangohia e Rawiri i tona ringa nga mea i kawea mai e ia ki a ia, a ka mea ki a ia, Haere i runga i te rangimarie ki tou whare: titiro, kua whakarongo nei ahau ki tou reo, kua whakapai hoki ki a koe.

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.

³⁶¶ Na haere ana a Apikaira ki a Napara, a i te mea hakari tera i roto i tona whare, koia ano kei te hakari a te kingi, a koa ana te ngakau o Napara i roto i a ia, he nui hoki tona haurangi. Na kihai i korerotia e ia tetahi mea ki a ia, ahakoa iti, ahakoa rahi, a marama noa te ata.

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.

³⁷A, i te ata i te mea ka kore atu te waina i a Napara, na korerotia ana e tana wahine ki a ia enei mea katoa; na mate iho tona ngakau i roto i a ia, heoi kua rite ia ki te kohatu.

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

³⁸A, ka tekau nga ra, ka patua a Napara e Ihowa, a ka mate.

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.

³⁹A, no te rongonga o Rawiri kua mate a Napara, ka mea ia, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa i tohe nei i te tohe ki a Napara mo toku tawainga; i pupuri nei i tana pononga kei kino, a whakahokia atu ana e Ihowa te kino a Napara ki runga ki tona matenga ake. Na ka tono tangata a Rawiri ki te korero ki a Apikaira, ki te tiki i a ia hei wahine mana.

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.”

⁴⁰A, i te taenga o nga tangata a Rawiri ki a Apikaira ki Karamere, ka korero ki a ia, ka mea, I tonoa mai matou e Rawiri ki te tiki mai i a koe hei wahine mana.

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.”

⁴¹Na ka whakatika tera, a piko ana tona mata ki te whenua, ka mea, Tenei tau pononga hei pononga wahine, hei horoi i nga waewae o nga tangata a toku ariki.

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.

⁴²Na hohoro ana a Apikaira, a whakatika ana, eke ana ki te kaihe; tokorima hoki ana kotiro i haere tahi me ia; na aru ana ia i nga karere a Rawiri, a ka waiho hei wahine mana.

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

⁴³I tangohia ano e Rawiri a Ahinoama o Ietereere; a ka waiho raua tokorua hei wahine mana.

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

⁴⁴Heoi kua hoatu e Haora a Mikara tana tamahine, te wahine a Rawiri, ki a Parati tama a Raihi, o Karimi.
