Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Si David, si Nabal, kag si Abigail
25 Karon napatay si Samuel, kag ang tanan nga Israelinhon nagtipon kag nagpangasubo sa iya. Ginlubong nila siya sa iya banwa sa Rama.
Pagkatapos sadto, nagsaylo si David sa kamingawan sang Maon.[a] 2 Didto sa Maon may isa ka tawo nga manggaranon gid, nga may duta[b] sa Carmel. May 1,000 siya ka kanding kag 3,000 ka karnero nga iya ginapaguntingan sa Carmel. 3 Ang iya ngalan amo si Nabal nga halin sa kaliwat ni Caleb, kag ang iya asawa amo si Abigail. Maalam kag matahom si Abigail, pero si Nabal iya dali maakig kag malain sing batasan.
4 Karon, sang didto si David sa kamingawan, nabalitaan niya nga nagapagunting si Nabal sang iya mga karnero. 5-6 Gani nagpadala siya sang napulo ka tawo sa Carmel. Ginsugo niya sila nga ihambal ini nga mensahi kay Nabal: “Kamusta! Kabay pa nga maangkon mo ang malawig nga kabuhi. Kag kabay pa nga maayo ang imo kahimtangan kag ang kahimtangan sang imo bug-os nga panimalay kag sang tanan nga ara sa imo. 7 Nakabalita ako nga nagapagunting ka sang imo mga karnero. Sang kaupod namon ang imo mga manugbantay sang karnero sa Carmel, wala namon sila pagpintasi kag wala sing may nadula sa ila. 8 Pamangkuta bala sila, kag sugiran ka nila. Karon, nagapangabay ako nga pakitaan mo sang kaayo ang akon mga tinawo, kay piesta man subong. Kabiga ako nga imo anak kag ang akon mga suluguon nga imo mga suluguon; hatagi kami sang bisan ano nga gusto mo ihatag sa amon.”
9 Gani pag-abot sang mga tinawo ni David kay Nabal, ginhambal nila ang mensahi ni David. Dayon naghulat sila. 10 Ginpanginwala ni Nabal si David. Siling niya sa mga tinawo ni David, “Sin-o bala ining si David nga anak ni Jesse? Subong nga mga inadlaw madamo nga mga suluguon ang nagapalagyo sa ila agalon. 11 Ngaa ihatag ko sa inyo ang akon tinapay kag tubig kag ang karne sang sapat nga akon ginpaihaw para sa mga manuggunting sang akon mga karnero? Wala gani ako kahibalo kon sa diin kamo naghalin.”
12 Nagbalik ang mga tinawo ni David kag ginsugid nila sa iya ang ginsiling ni Nabal. 13 Dayon nagsiling si David sa iya mga tinawo, “Itaklos ang inyo mga espada!” Gani gintaklos nila ang ila mga espada, kag amo man ang ginhimo ni David. Mga 400 ka tawo ang nag-upod kay David. Nagpabilin ang 200 sa pagbantay sang mga kargaminto.
14 Karon, ang isa sa mga suluguon ni Nabal nagsiling kay Abigail nga asawa ni Nabal, “Nagpadala diri si David sang mga mensahero halin sa kamingawan, kag nagpangamusta pa sila kay Nabal nga amon agalon, pero gin-insulto lang niya sila. 15 Maayo gid ato nga mga tawo sa amon; wala nila kami pag-anha. Kag sa bug-os nga tion nga didto kami sa uma malapit sa ila, wala gid sang may nadula sa amon. 16 Ginproteksyunan nila kami adlaw-gab-i sang nagabantay kami sang mga karnero. 17 Karon maghunahuna ka kon ano ang imo mahimo, tungod kay magaabot ang katalagman sa imo bana kag sa iya bug-os nga panimalay. Puwerte sa iya kalaot, gani wala gid sing may mangahas nga mag-estorya sa iya.”
18 Wala na mag-uyang sang tiyempo si Abigail. Nagpakuha siya sang 200 ka bilog nga tinapay, duha ka suludlan nga panit nga puno sang bino, lima ka gin-ihaw nga karnero, mga isa ka sako nga sinanlag nga uyas, 100 ka hakop sang pasas, kag 200 ka hakop sang binulad nga higos.[c] Dayon ginpakarga niya ini sa mga asno, 19 kag ginsilingan ang iya mga suluguon, “Mag-una kamo; masunod lang ako sa inyo.” Pero wala niya ginsugiran ang iya bana nga si Nabal.
20 Samtang nagasakay si Abigail sa iya asno kag nagapaliko sa kilid sang bukid, nakita niya nga nagapadulong si David kag ang iya mga tinawo pakadto sa iya. 21 Wala pa lang dugay nga nagsiling si David, “Wala sing pulos ang pagbantay ko sang mga pagkabutang ni Nabal sa kamingawan agod wala sing may madula. Ang kaayo nga ginpakita ko sa iya ginbalusan niya sang kalain. 22 Kabay pa nga silutan ako sang Dios sing puwerte gid kon indi ko maubos pamatay hasta sa aga ang tanan nga lalaki nga sakop niya.”
23-24 Sang makita ni Abigail si David, nagdali-dali siya panaog sa iya asno kag nagluhod kay David bilang pagtahod sa iya. Nagsiling siya, “Palihog, sir, pamatii ako. Ako na lang ang basula. 25 Kabay nga indi mo pagsapakon ang malaot nga si Nabal. Bagay gid sa iya ang iya ngalan nga Nabal, nga ang buot silingon ‘buang-buang.’ Sir, ako iya wala gid makakita sa mga tawo nga imo ginpadala.
26 “Karon, ginpunggan ka sang Ginoo sa pagtimalos kag sa pagpamatay. Ginasumpa ko sa buhi nga Ginoo kag sa imo nga kabay pa nga ang imo mga kaaway kag ang tanan nga gusto maghalit sa imo mangin pareho ang ila dangatan kay Nabal. 27 Kon mahimo, sir, batuna ini nga mga regalo nga akon gindala sa imo, kag ihatag sa imo mga tinawo. 28 Palihog patawara ako sa akon mga kakulangan. Sigurado gid nga paharion ka sang Ginoo kag ang imo mga kaliwat, tungod nga nagapakig-away ka para sa iya. Kabay pa nga wala sing malain nga matabo sa imo samtang nagakabuhi ka. 29 Bisan may maglagas sa pagpatay sa imo, tipigan ka gihapon sang Ginoo nga imo Dios pareho sa tawo nga nagatipig sang malahalon nga butang. Pero ang imo mga kaaway ipanglabyog pareho sang paglabyog sang isa ka tawo sang bato. 30 Kon matuman na ang tanan nga maayo nga mga butang nga ginpromisa sang Ginoo sa imo, kag mangin hari ka na sang Israel, 31 indi ka pagkonsensyahon tungod nga wala ka nagtimalos kag nagpamatay nga wala sing kabangdanan. Kag kon pakamaayuhon ka sang Ginoo palihog indi ako pagkalimti.”
32 Nagsiling si David kay Abigail, “Dalayawon ang Ginoo, ang Dios sang Israel, nga nagpadala sa imo subong nga adlaw sa pagpakigkita sa akon. 33 Salamat sa Dios sa imo maayo nga panghunahuna kag sa pagpugong sa akon sa pagtimalos kag pagpamatay sa sini nga adlaw. 34 Kon wala ka nagdali-dali sa pagpakigkita sa akon, wala kuntani sing may nabilin nga buhi sa mga tinawo ni Nabal pagkaaga. Kay amo ina ang akon ginsumpa sa buhi nga Ginoo, ang Dios sang Israel, nga nagpugong sa akon sa paghimo sang malain sa imo.” 35 Ginbaton ni David ang mga regalo ni Abigail kag nagsiling, “Magpauli ka kag indi na magpalibog, kay tumanon ko ang imo pangabay.”
36 Sang pag-abot ni Abigail sa ila balay, nagapapunsyon si Nabal nga daw sa hari. Malipayon gid siya kag puwerte kahubog. Gani wala siya pagsugiri ni Abigail hasta mag-aga. 37 Sang naumpawan na siya sang aga, ginsugiran siya ni Abigail sa natabo. Gin-atake siya sa tagipusuon kag indi na siya makahulag. 38 Pagkaligad sang napulo ka adlaw, ginpagrabe pa gid siya sang Ginoo kag napatay siya.
39 Sang mabatian ni David nga napatay si Nabal, nagsiling siya, “Dalayawon ang Ginoo! Siya ang nagbalos kay Nabal sa iya pag-insulto sa akon, kag ginlikaw niya ako sa pagbalos. Ginsilutan niya si Nabal sa iya malain nga ginhimo sa akon.”
Dayon nagpadala si David sang mga mensahero sa pagpangabay kay Abigail nga pangasaw-on niya siya. 40 Pag-abot sang mga mensahero ni David sa Carmel, nagsiling sila kay Abigail, “Ginpakadto kami ni David sa imo sa pagdala sa imo sa iya agod mangin asawa niya.” 41 Nagluhod si Abigail bilang pagtahod sa ila kag nagsiling, “Huo, sugot ako. Handa ako sa pag-alagad sa iya bisan pa sa iya mga suluguon.”[d] 42 Nagdali-dali dayon si Abigail sa pagsakay sa asno kag nag-upod sa mga mensahero ni David. Gindala niya ang lima niya ka suluguon nga babayi. Kag nangin asawa siya ni David. 43 Ginpangasawa man ni David si Ahinoam nga taga-Jezreel, kag sila nga duha iya asawa. 44 Ang iya asawa anay nga si Mical ginpaasawa ni Saul sa kay Paltiel nga taga-Galim, nga anak ni Laish.

1 Samuel 25
New International Version
David, Nabal and Abigail
25 Now Samuel died,(A) and all Israel assembled and mourned(B) for him; and they buried him at his home in Ramah.(C) Then David moved down into the Desert of Paran.[a]
2 A certain man in Maon,(D) who had property there at Carmel, was very wealthy.(E) He had a thousand goats and three thousand sheep, which he was shearing(F) in Carmel. 3 His name was Nabal and his wife’s name was Abigail.(G) She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband was surly and mean in his dealings—he was a Calebite.(H)
4 While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep. 5 So he sent ten young men and said to them, “Go up to Nabal at Carmel and greet him in my name. 6 Say to him: ‘Long life to you! Good health(I) to you and your household! And good health to all that is yours!(J)
7 “‘Now I hear that it is sheep-shearing time. When your shepherds were with us, we did not mistreat(K) them, and the whole time they were at Carmel nothing of theirs was missing. 8 Ask your own servants and they will tell you. Therefore be favorable toward my men, since we come at a festive time. Please give your servants and your son David whatever(L) you can find for them.’”
9 When David’s men arrived, they gave Nabal this message in David’s name. Then they waited.
10 Nabal answered David’s servants, “Who(M) is this David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants are breaking away from their masters these days. 11 Why should I take my bread(N) and water, and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men coming from who knows where?”
12 David’s men turned around and went back. When they arrived, they reported every word. 13 David said to his men(O), “Each of you strap on your sword!” So they did, and David strapped his on as well. About four hundred men went(P) up with David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies.(Q)
14 One of the servants told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, “David sent messengers from the wilderness to give our master his greetings,(R) but he hurled insults at them. 15 Yet these men were very good to us. They did not mistreat(S) us, and the whole time we were out in the fields near them nothing was missing.(T) 16 Night and day they were a wall(U) around us the whole time we were herding our sheep near them. 17 Now think it over and see what you can do, because disaster is hanging over our master and his whole household. He is such a wicked(V) man that no one can talk to him.”
18 Abigail acted quickly. She took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five dressed sheep, five seahs[b] of roasted grain,(W) a hundred cakes of raisins(X) and two hundred cakes of pressed figs, and loaded them on donkeys.(Y) 19 Then she told her servants, “Go on ahead;(Z) I’ll follow you.” But she did not tell(AA) her husband Nabal.
20 As she came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine, there were David and his men descending toward her, and she met them. 21 David had just said, “It’s been useless—all my watching over this fellow’s property in the wilderness so that nothing of his was missing.(AB) He has paid(AC) me back evil(AD) for good. 22 May God deal with David,[c] be it ever so severely,(AE) if by morning I leave alive one male(AF) of all who belong to him!”
23 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her donkey and bowed down before David with her face to the ground.(AG) 24 She fell at his feet and said: “Pardon your servant, my lord,(AH) and let me speak to you; hear what your servant has to say. 25 Please pay no attention, my lord, to that wicked man Nabal. He is just like his name—his name means Fool(AI),(AJ) and folly goes with him. And as for me, your servant, I did not see the men my lord sent. 26 And now, my lord, as surely as the Lord your God lives and as you live, since the Lord has kept you from bloodshed(AK) and from avenging(AL) yourself with your own hands, may your enemies and all who are intent on harming my lord be like Nabal.(AM) 27 And let this gift,(AN) which your servant has brought to my lord, be given to the men who follow you.
28 “Please forgive(AO) your servant’s presumption. The Lord your God will certainly make a lasting(AP) dynasty for my lord, because you fight the Lord’s battles,(AQ) and no wrongdoing(AR) will be found in you as long as you live. 29 Even though someone is pursuing you to take your life,(AS) the life of my lord will be bound securely in the bundle of the living by the Lord your God, but the lives of your enemies he will hurl(AT) away as from the pocket of a sling.(AU) 30 When the Lord has fulfilled for my lord every good thing he promised concerning him and has appointed him ruler(AV) over Israel, 31 my lord will not have on his conscience the staggering burden of needless bloodshed or of having avenged himself. And when the Lord your God has brought my lord success, remember(AW) your servant.”(AX)
32 David said to Abigail, “Praise(AY) be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who has sent you today to meet me. 33 May you be blessed for your good judgment and for keeping me from bloodshed(AZ) this day and from avenging myself with my own hands. 34 Otherwise, as surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, who has kept me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, not one male belonging to Nabal(BA) would have been left alive by daybreak.”
35 Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought him and said, “Go home in peace. I have heard your words and granted(BB) your request.”
36 When Abigail went to Nabal, he was in the house holding a banquet like that of a king. He was in high(BC) spirits and very drunk.(BD) So she told(BE) him nothing at all until daybreak. 37 Then in the morning, when Nabal was sober, his wife told him all these things, and his heart failed him and he became like a stone.(BF) 38 About ten days later, the Lord struck(BG) Nabal and he died.
39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise be to the Lord, who has upheld my cause against Nabal for treating me with contempt. He has kept his servant from doing wrong and has brought Nabal’s wrongdoing down on his own head.”
Then David sent word to Abigail, asking her to become his wife. 40 His servants went to Carmel and said to Abigail, “David has sent us to you to take you to become his wife.”
41 She bowed down with her face to the ground and said, “I am your servant and am ready to serve you and wash the feet of my lord’s servants.” 42 Abigail(BH) quickly got on a donkey and, attended by her five female servants, went with David’s messengers and became his wife. 43 David had also married Ahinoam(BI) of Jezreel, and they both were his wives.(BJ) 44 But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Paltiel[d](BK) son of Laish, who was from Gallim.(BL)

King James Version
25 And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
2 And 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.
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman 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.
4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.
5 And David sent out 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:
6 And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.
7 And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.
8 Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.
9 And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
10 And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.
11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?
12 So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.
13 And 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 stuff.
14 But 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 on them.
15 But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:
16 They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
17 Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.
18 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.
19 And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
20 And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert on the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.
21 Now 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 requited me evil for good.
22 So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
24 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.
25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
26 Now therefore, my lord, as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the Lord hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
27 And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.
28 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the Lord will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the Lord, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.
29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the Lord thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.
30 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;
31 That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the Lord shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.
32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:
33 And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
34 For in very deed, as the Lord God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
35 So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
36 And 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.
37 But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
38 And it came to pass about ten days after, that the Lord smote Nabal, that he died.
39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.
40 And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.
41 And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
42 And Abigail hasted, and arose and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.
44 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.
