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 Samuwila bu. Israyla kulu binde margu k'a baray k'a fiji nga windo ra Rama. Dawda mo tun ka zulli ka koy Paran saajo ra.

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 Boro fo go no Mawon ra, kaŋ a arzaka go Karmel ra. Bora din mo boro beeri no gumo. A gonda feeji zambar hinza, da hincin zambar fo. A ga nga feejey hamney hõse Karmel ra.

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.

³ Bora binde maa ga ti Nabal. A wando maa Abigayil. Nga din, waybora binde, fahamante no, kaŋ ga sogo, amma albora wo kosongukoy no, kaŋ ga goy laalo te. Nga mo Kaleb dumo boro no.

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

⁴ Kala Dawda go saajo ra. A maa baaru kaŋ i ne Nabal goono ga nga feejey hõse.

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.

⁵ Dawda binde na gaabikooni way kaa nga borey ra ka donton. Dawda ne mo gaabikooney din se: «Wa koy Karmel haray. Araŋ ma koy Nabal do k'a fo ay se.

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.

⁶ Yaa no araŋ ga ne a se: ‹Wa fofo. Baani ma bara ni gaa, baani ma bara ni windo gaa, baani ma bara mo hay kulu kaŋ ni gonda gaa.

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.

⁷ Kala sohõ kaŋ ay maa ni gonda feeji hamni hõsekoyaŋ. Ni hawjiyey gay iri do, iri mana hay kulu te i se, hay kulu mana daray i se mo, alwaatey kulu kaŋ i go Karmel ra.

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.’”

⁸ Ma ni arwasey hã, i ga ci ni se. Woodin se ni ma naŋ gaabikooney wo ma du gaakuri ni jine, zama iri kaa da saaya. Ay ga ŋwaaray, hay kulu kaŋ cine no kaŋ ni kambe gar, kala ni m'a no ni bannyey se, hala nda ni izo Dawda mo se.› »

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

⁹ Waato kaŋ Dawda wane gaabikooney din kaa ka to Nabal do, i salaŋ d'a sanney wo kulu boŋ Dawda maa ra ka ye ka dangay.

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.

¹⁰ Nabal tu Dawda bannyey se ka ne: «May ga ti Dawda? May ga ti Yasse ize? Bannya boobo go no alwaato wo ra kaŋ yaŋ goono ga zuru ngey koyey se.

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?”

¹¹ Ay m'ay ŋwaaro da ay haŋyaŋ haro sambu, da hamo kaŋ ay dumbu feeji hamni hõsekoy se, ay m'i no boroyaŋ se kaŋ ay mana bay naŋ kaŋ no i fun?»

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

¹² Dawda gaabikooney din binde na banda bare ka ngey fondo gana ka ye. I kaa ka sanney wo kulu ci Dawda se.

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.

¹³ Dawda ne nga borey se: «Boro fo kulu ma nga takuba koto.» Kala i boro fo kulu na nga takuba koto. Dawda mo na nga takuba koto. Alboro zangu taaci cine na Dawda gana, zangu hinka cine mo goro dunkayo do.

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.

¹⁴ Amma arwasey ra afo ci Nabal wande Abigayil se ka ne: «A go, Dawda na diyayaŋ donton. I fun saajo ra ka kaa k'iri jine bora fo. A binde salaŋ i se da futay.

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.

¹⁵ Amma borey din na gomni boobo te iri se. Iri mana kayna haŋ, hay kulu mo mana daray iri se, alwaatey kulu kaŋ iri nd'ey gonda sabayaŋ, waato kaŋ iri go saajo ra.

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

¹⁶ Ngey no ka ciya iri se kosaray cin nda zaari, alwaatey kulu kaŋ iri go i banda ga feeji kuru.

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.”

¹⁷ Day sohõ ni ma bay, ma faham mo ka boori nda haŋ kaŋ ni ga te. Kaŋ se i na hasaraw soola iri koyo se, hala nda a windo kulu mo se. Zama Nabal wo boro yaamo no, hal a si du ka te boro ma salaŋ d'a.»

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 Abigayil to ka maa woodin, a waasu ka buuru kunkuni zangu hinka sambu, da duvan* humbur hinka, da feeji gu kaŋ yaŋ i soola, da jirmay gumbutu gu, da reyzin* fafa zangu, da jeejay takula zangu hinka. A n'i jeje farkayyaŋ gaa.

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

¹⁹ A ne nga bannyey se: «Wa furo jine, ay mo go araŋ banda.» Amma a mana ci nga kurnyo Nabal se bo.

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.

²⁰ A ciya binde kaŋ a goono ga dira nga farka boŋ, a kaa susubay nda hinay tondo fondo tuganta gaa, kala Dawda nda nga borey go ga zulli a do haray ka kubay d'a. I kubay da care.

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.

²¹ A go mo, Dawda jin ka ne: «Wiiza! Yaamo no haggoyyaŋo kulu kaŋ ay na hay kulu kaŋ go boro wo se haggoy d'a saajo ra, hala hay kulu si no kaŋ daray a se a jinayey ra. A na gomni bana ay se mo da laala.

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. ”

²² Irikoy ma ay, Dawda, laali da day ay na baa zanka alboro ize folloŋ cindi a se da fundi ne ka guna mo boyaŋ, hay kulu kaŋ ga ti a wane ra.»

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

²³ Waato kaŋ Abigayil di Dawda, a cahã ka zumbu ka fun nga farka boŋ ka ye ganda nga moyduma boŋ Dawda jine. A sumbal hala ganda.

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.

²⁴ A ye ganda Dawda cey do haray ka ne: «Ya ay jina bora, taalo din, ay boŋ no a bara, ay boŋ no! Ay ga ni ŋwaaray mo, ma naŋ ni koŋŋa ma salaŋ ni hangey ra. Ma maa ni koŋŋa sanney mo.

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.

²⁵ Ya ay jine bora, ay ga ni ŋwaaray no, ma si saal boro yaama din, danga Nabal nooya. Zama sanda mate kaŋ a maa bara din, yaadin no a bara nga mo. Nabal ga ti a maa, saamotaray no ka bara a gaa. Amma ay wo, ni koŋŋa, ay mana di arwasey kaŋ yaŋ ni donton bo, ya ay jine bora.

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.

²⁶ Sohõ binde, ya ay jine bora, ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono da ni fundo mo, za kaŋ Rabbi na ni ganji ni ma koy ka kuri mun, ka bana mo da ni kamba, naŋ borey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga ay jine bora fundo ceeci nda laala ma ciya sanda Nabal.

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

²⁷ Guna me, albarka hari woone kaŋ ay, ni koŋŋa kande nin, ay jine bora se, i m'a no arwasey se kaŋ yaŋ go nin, ay jina bora banda.

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.

²⁸ Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma ni koŋŋa taaley yaafa, zama haciika Rabbi g'ay jine bora dumo tabbatandi, zama ay jina bora goono ga Rabbi wongo tangami te no. I si hari laalo gar ni do mo ni jirbey kulu ra.

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.

²⁹ Koyne, baa boro tun nga ma ni gana ka gaaray no, a goono ga ni fundo ceeci, kulu nda yaadin i g'ay jine bora fundo daabu kunsumi fo ra Rabbi ni Irikoyo banda. Ni ibarey fundey mo, a g'i catu, sanda finga-finga tafayyaŋo ra.

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,

³⁰ A ga ciya mo, waato kaŋ Rabbi jin ka gomney kulu te nin, ay jine bora se kaŋ yaŋ a ci ni boŋ, hal a na ni ciya Israyla bonkooni,

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.”

³¹ woone ma si ciya ay jine bora se bine saray wala ye-ka-tuubi yaŋ hari, a ma kuri mun yaamo, a ma bana nga boŋ se mo. Hala hõ koyne, waato kaŋ Rabbi na gomni te ay jine bora se, saaya din kala ni ma fongu ay, ni koŋŋa gaa.»

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

³² Dawda ne Abigayil se: «I ma Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo sifa, nga kaŋ na ni donton hunkuna ni m'ay kubay se.

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.

³³ Albarkante no ni laakalo, albarkante no ni mo kaŋ ni n'ay ganji ay ma kuri mun, ay ma bana ay boŋ se d'ay kambe.

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. ”

³⁴ Zama haciika ay ze da Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo fundo, nga kaŋ n'ay ganji ay ma hasaraw te ni se, da manti kaŋ ni cahã ka kaa k'ay kubay, haciika doŋ ay si zanka alboro baa afolloŋ cindi Nabal se hala mo ga bo.»

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.”

³⁵ Dawda binde na hayey kaŋ waybora kande a se yaŋ din ta a kambe ra. A ne a se: «Ma to ni kwaara baani samay. A go, ay hangan ni sanno se, ay na ni beera guna mo.»

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 Kala Abigayil ye ka kaa Nabal do. A go mo ga batu te nga windo ra, danga day bonkooni batu. Nabal bina mo goono ga maa kaani a ra, zama a go ga bugu gumo. Woodin se wando mana hay kulu ci a se, hala iboobo wala ikayna, kala mo boyaŋ.

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.

³⁷ I go no, kaŋ susuba to, waato kaŋ duvaŋo na Nabal taŋ, kal a wando na hayey din ci a se. A bina binde bu a ra. Gaahamo sandi danga tondi cine.

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

³⁸ Kaŋ i te sanda jirbi way cine, kala Rabbi na Nabal kar kal a bu.

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.

³⁹ Waato kaŋ Dawda maa baaru kaŋ i ne Nabal bu, a ne: «I ma Rabbi sifa, nga kaŋ na donda-caray kaa ay se Nabal gaa. A na ay, nga bannya ganji goy laalo teeyaŋ, zama Rabbi na Nabal laala yeti a boŋ.» Dawda binde donton ka Abigayil sanni te, zama nga m'a hiiji.

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.”

⁴⁰ Waato kaŋ Dawda tamey kaa Abigayil do Karmel, i salaŋ d'a ka ne: «Dawda no k'iri donton ni gaa, iri ma ni sambu ka kande a se, ni ma ciya a wande.»

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.”

⁴¹ Kal a tun ka gurfa ka konda nga moyduma hala ganda ka ne: «Ni koŋŋa go, koŋŋa kayna no kaŋ g'ay jina bora bannyey ce nyun.»

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.

⁴² Abigayil binde cahã ka tun ka kaaru farka boŋ, nga nda koŋŋa kayna gu kaŋ yaŋ n'a gana. A na Dawda diyey gana ka ciya Dawda wande.

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

⁴³ Dawda na Ahinowam, Yezreyel waybora mo hiiji. I boro hinka kulu ciya a wandeyaŋ.

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

⁴⁴ Amma Sawulu jin ka nga ize way, Mikal, Dawda wando, no Palti Layis, Gallim bora izo se.
