1 M arkaasaa waxaa dhintay Samuu'eel, reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammuna way isu soo wada urureen oo u baroorteen, oo waxay isagii ku dhex aaseen gurigiisii Raamaah ku yiil. Daa'uudna wuu kacay oo ku dhaadhacay cidladii Faaraan.

Then Samuel died; and all Israel gathered together and mourned for him, and buried him at his house in Ramah. And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran. Nabal and Abigail

2 O o waxaa jiray nin reer Maacoon ahaa oo ay xoolihiisu Karmel joogeen, oo ninkaasuna aad buu u weynaa, oo wuxuu lahaa saddex kun oo ido ah iyo kun riyo ah, oo isna idihiisii ayuu Karmel ku xiirayay.

Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel; and the man was very rich, and he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. And it came about while he was shearing his sheep in Carmel

3 H addaba ninkaas magiciisu wuxuu ahaa Naabaal, naagtiisa magaceeduna Abiigayil, oo naagtuna waxay ahayd mid caqli wanaagsan, aadna u suurad qurxoon, laakiinse ninku wuxuu ahaa nin qallafsan oo shar sameeya; oo wuxuuna ahaa reer Kaaleeb.

(now the man’s name was Nabal, and his wife’s name was Abigail. And the woman was intelligent and beautiful in appearance, but the man was harsh and evil in his dealings, and he was a Calebite),

4 O o Daa'uud oo cidlada joogay ayaa maqlay in Naabaal idihiisii xiirayo.

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

5 D aa'uudna toban nin oo dhallinyaro ah ayuu diray, oo Daa'uud wuxuu raggii dhallinyarada ahaa ku yidhi, Orda oo Naabaal ugu taga Karmel, oo magacayga ku salaama;

So David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, visit Nabal and greet him in my name;

6 o o waxaad kaas barwaaqaysan ku tidhaahdaan, Nabadu ha kuu ahaato, reerkaagana nabadu ha u ahaato, oo waxaad haysatid oo dhanna nabadu ha u ahaato.

and thus you shall say, ‘ Have a long life, peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.

7 O o haatan waxaan maqlay inaad haysatid kuwo ido xiira; adhijirradaadiina way nala joogayeen, oo annana waxba ma aannu yeelin, oo innaba wax kama dhinnayn intii ay Karmel joogeen oo dhan.

Now I have heard that you have shearers; now your shepherds have been with us and we have not insulted them, nor have they missed anything all the days they were in Carmel.

8 O o taas bal raggaaga dhallinyarada ah weyddii, oo way kuu sheegi doonaan. Taas aawadeed ragga dhallinyarada ah raalli ka ahow, waayo, maalin wanaagsan baannu kuu nimid, haddaba waan ku baryayaaye wax alla wixii gacantaada ku jira soo sii addoommadaada iyo anoo ah inankaaga Daa'uud.

Ask your young men and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we have come on a festive day. Please give whatever you find at hand to your servants and to your son David.’”

9 O o markay Daa'uud raggiisii dhallinyarada ahaa yimaadeen ayay erayadan oo dhan Naabaal kula hadleen iyagoo magaca Daa'uud ku hadlaya, dabadeedna way aamuseen.

When David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all these words in David’s name; then they waited.

10 M arkaasaa Naabaal ugu jawaabay Daa'uud addoommadiisii, Waa ayo Daa'uud? Wiilka Yesayse waa kuma? Maalmahan waxaa jira addoommo badan oo nin kastaa ku caasiyooba sayidkiisa.

But Nabal answered David’s servants and said, “ Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants today who are each breaking away from his master.

11 H addaba miyaan qaadaa kibistayda, iyo biyahayga, iyo hilibkayga aan u qalay kuwa idaha ii xiiraya, oo miyaan siiyaa niman aanan aqoon meel ay ka yimaadeen?

Shall I then take my bread and my water and my meat that I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men whose origin I do not know?”

12 S idaas daraaddeed Daa'uud raggiisii dhallinyarada ahaa way jeesteen oo dib bay u noqdeen, oo intay Daa'uud u yimaadeen ayay erayadan oo dhan u sheegeen.

So David’s young men retraced their way and went back; and they came and told him according to all these words.

13 M arkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu raggiisii ku yidhi, Nin walowba seeftaada xidho. Oo nin waluba seeftiisii buu xidhay, oo Daa'uudna seeftiisii buu xidhay. Kolkaasaa waxaa Daa'uud raacay in ku dhow afar boqol oo nin; oo laba boqolna alaabtii bay la joogeen.

David said to his men, “Each of you gird on his sword.” So each man girded on his sword. And David also girded on his sword, and about four hundred men went up behind David while two hundred stayed with the baggage.

14 L aakiinse raggii dhallinyarada ahaa midkood ayaa u warramay Naabaal naagtiisii Abiigayil ahayd oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal eeg, Daa'uud ayaa wargeeys ka soo diray cidlada inay soo salaamaan sayidkayaga, laakiinse wuu caayay.

But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Behold, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, and he scorned them.

15 L aakiinse nimankaasu way noo wanaagsanaayeen aad iyo aad, oo waxba nalama yeelin, oo innaba wax nagama dhinnayn intii aannu la soconnay oo dhan markii aannu duurka joognay.

Yet the men were very good to us, and we were not insulted, nor did we miss anything as long as we went about with them, while we were in the fields.

16 I yagu habeen iyo maalinba derbi bay noo ahaayeen intaannu iyaga la joognay oo idaha haynay oo dhan.

They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the time we were with them tending the sheep.

17 H addaba bal garo oo ka fiirso wixii aad samayn doonto, waayo, sayidkayaga iyo reerkiisa oo dhanba belaayaa lala damacsan yahay, waayo, isagu waa waxmatare, oo ninnaba lama hadli karo.

Now therefore, know and consider what you should do, for evil is plotted against our master and against all his household; and he is such a worthless man that no one can speak to him.” Abigail Intercedes

18 M arkaasaa Abiigayil dhaqsatay, oo waxay soo qaadatay laba boqol oo xabbadood oo kibis ah, iyo laba sibraar oo khamri ah, iyo shan neef oo ido ah oo la qalay, iyo shan koombo oo hadhuudh la dubay ah, iyo boqol rucubood oo sabiib ah, iyo laba boqol oo fud oo berde ah, oo waxay ku raratay dameerro.

Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread and two jugs of wine and five sheep already prepared and five measures of roasted grain and a hundred clusters of raisins and two hundred cakes of figs, and loaded them on donkeys.

19 M arkaasay waxay raggeedii dhallinyarada ahaa ku tidhi, Taga oo iga hor mara, oo anna waan idinka daba imanayaa. Laakiinse waxba uma ay sheegin ninkeedii Naabaal.

She said to her young men, “ Go on before me; behold, I am coming after you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

20 O o siday dameerkeedii u soo fuushanayd ayay soo dhaadacday oo ag martay buurta meesheedii qarsoonayd, oo waxaa ka hor yimid Daa'uud iyo raggiisii, markaasay la kulantay.

It came about as she was riding on her donkey and coming down by the hidden part of the mountain, that behold, David and his men were coming down toward her; so she met them.

21 H addaba Daa'uud wuxuu markaa ka hor yidhi, Hubaal waxtarla'aan baan u dhawrayay waxa ninkanu cidlada ku haysto oo dhan, si aan waxba uga maqnaan waxa uu leeyahay oo dhan, oo wanaaggii aan u falay shar buu iigu beddelay.

Now David had said, “Surely in vain I have guarded all that this man has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him; and he has returned me evil for good.

22 I laah saas iyo si ka sii daranba ha ku sameeyo cadaawayaashayda, haddii waxa uu leeyahay oo dhan xataa wiil yarna ha noqotee aan ka tago tan iyo waaberiga.

May God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if by morning I leave as much as one male of any who belong to him.”

23 O o Abiigayilna markay Daa'uud aragtay ayay haddiiba dameerkeedii ka soo degtay, oo Daa'uud isku hor tuurtay, wayna sujuudday.

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

24 O o intay cagihiisa isku tuurtay ayay tidhi, Dembiganu dushayda ha ahaado, sayidkaygiiyow, dushayda ha ahaado, oo waan ku baryayaaye, anoo addoontaada ahu dhegahaaga aan ku hadlo, oo adiguna bal maqal erayadayda anoo addoontaada ah.

She fell at his feet and said, “On me alone, my lord, be the blame. And please let your maidservant speak to you, and listen to the words of your maidservant.

25 W aan ku baryayaaye, sayidkaygiiyow, ha ka fikirin ninkan waxmataraha ah ee Naabaal la yidhaahdo, waayo, sida magiciisu u yahay weeye isaguna; magiciisu waa Naabaal oo waxaa isaga ku jirta nacasnimo, laakiinse anigoo ah addoontaada ma aanan arkin nimankii dhallinyarada ahaa oo aad soo dirtay, sayidkaygiiyow.

Please do not let my lord pay attention to this worthless man, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name and folly is with him; but I your maidservant did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.

26 S idaas daraaddeed, sayidkaygiiyow, waxaan ku dhaartay nolosha Rabbiga, iyo adiga naftaada, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu wuxuu kaa hor joogsaday inaad dhiig gasho, iyo inaad gacantaada ku aarsatid, haddaba cadaawayaashaada iyo kuwa xumaanta kula doonaya, sayidkaygiiyow, ha noqdeen sida Naabaal oo kale.

“Now therefore, my lord, as the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, since the Lord has restrained you from shedding blood, and from avenging yourself by your own hand, now then let your enemies and those who seek evil against my lord, be as Nabal.

27 H addaba sayidkaygiiyow, hadiyaddan anoo addoontaada ah aan kuu keenay, ha la siiyo ragga dhallinyarada ah oo kula socda.

Now let this gift which your maidservant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who accompany my lord.

28 W aan ku baryayaaye, anoo addoontaada ah xadgudubkayga iga cafi, sayidkaygiiyow, waayo, Rabbigu hubaal wuxuu kuu samayn doonaa guri ammaan ah, maxaa yeelay, waxaad dirirtaa dagaallada Rabbiga; oo cimrigaaga oo dhanna shar lagaama heli doono.

Please forgive the transgression of your maidservant; for the Lord will certainly make for my lord an enduring house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the Lord, and evil will not be found in you all your days.

29 O o in kastoo dadku kugu kaco oo kuu eryado inuu nafta kaa qaado, weliba, sayidkaygiiyow, naftaadu waxay xidhmada nolosha kula xidhnaan doontaa Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah, oo cadaawayaashaada naftoodana wuu tuuri doonaa sidii isagoo ka tuuraya wadhafka meeshiisa godan.

Should anyone rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, then the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with the Lord your God; but the lives of your enemies He will sling out as from the hollow of a sling.

30 O o markii Rabbigu kuu sameeyo wanaaggii uu kaaga hadlay oo dhan ee uu amiir kaaga dhigo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, sayidkaygiiyow,

And when the Lord does for my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and appoints you ruler over Israel,

31 m arkaas ma nixi doontid, qalbigaaguna kuuma xumaan doono dhiig aad sababla'aan u daadisay, iyo aarsasho; oo markii Rabbigu si wanaagsan kuula macaamiloodo, sayidkaygiiyow, bal markaas i soo xusuuso, anoo addoontaada ah.

this will not cause grief or a troubled heart to my lord, both by having shed blood without cause and by my lord having avenged himself. When the Lord deals well with my lord, then remember your maidservant.”

32 M arkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Abiigayil ku yidhi, Waxaa mahad leh Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil oo maanta kuu soo diray inaad iga hor timaadid.

Then David said to Abigail, “ Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me,

33 W axaa barakaysan xigmaddaada, oo adna waad barakaysan tahay, waayo, waxaad maanta iga celisay inaan dhiig galo iyo inaan gacantayda ku aarsado.

and blessed be your discernment, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.

34 W axaan ku dhaartay Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil oo nool oo iga joojiyey inaan wax ku yeelo, waayo, hubaal haddii aadan degdegin oo iga hor iman, waaberiga Naabaal xataa wiil yaru uma uu hadheen.

Nevertheless, as the Lord God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from harming you, unless you had come quickly to meet me, surely there would not have been left to Nabal until the morning light as much as one male.”

35 S idaas daraaddeed Daa'uud gacanteedii buu ka guddoomay wixii ay u keentay, markaasuu ku yidhi, Haddaba gurigaagii nabad ku tag, oo bal eeg, codkaagii waan maqlay, waanan ku aqbalay.

So David received from her hand what she had brought him and said to her, “ Go up to your house in peace. See, I have listened to you and granted your request.”

36 M arkaasaa Abiigayil u timid Naabaal, oo bal eeg, gurigiisuu ku qabtay diyaafad u eg boqor diyaafaddiis, oo Naabaalna qalbigiisu aad buu u faraxsanaa, waayo, aad buu u sakhraansanaa; sidaas daraaddeed waxba uma ay sheegin yar iyo badnaan toona ilaa waaberigii.

Then Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; so she did not tell him anything at all until the morning light.

37 O o subaxdii markii Naabaal sakhraankii ka ba'ay ayay naagtiisii waxyaalahan u sheegtay, markaasaa qalbigii ku dhex dhintay, oo sidii dhagax oo kale ayuu noqday.

But in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him so that he became as a stone.

38 O o haddana toban maalmood dabadeed Rabbigaa Naabaal dilay, wuuna iska dhintay.

About ten days later, the Lord struck Nabal and he died. David Marries Abigail

39 O o Daa'uudna markuu maqlay in Naabaal dhintay ayuu yidhi, Waxaa mahad leh Rabbigii Naabaal caydii uu i caayay iiga soo aarguday, oo anoo addoonkiisa ah shar iga celiyey; Naabaalna xumaantii uu samaynayay Rabbigu isaguu ku celiyey. Markaasuu Daa'uud cid u diray Abiigayil oo kala hadlay siduu u guursan lahaa.

When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed be the Lord, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal and has kept back His servant from evil. The Lord has also returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.” Then David sent a proposal to Abigail, to take her as his wife.

40 O o addoommadii Daa'uudna markay Abiigayil ugu yimaadeen Karmel, intay la hadleen ayay ku yidhaahdeen, Daa'uud baa noogu kaa soo diray inuu ku guursado.

When the servants of David came to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you to take you as his wife.”

41 M arkaasay kacday oo intay sujuudday ayay wejigeeda dhulka saartay, oo waxay tidhi, Bal eeg, anoo addoontaada ah waxaan ahay midiidin cagaha u maydha addoommada sayidkayga.

She arose and bowed with her face to the ground and said, “Behold, your maidservant is a maid to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.”

42 M arkaasaa Abiigayil dhaqsatay, oo kacday, oo waxay fuushay dameer, iyadoo wadata shan gabdhood oo kuweed ah oo la socda; oo iyana wargeeyayaashii Daa'uud bay daba gashay, waxayna noqotay naagtiisii.

Then Abigail quickly arose, and rode on a donkey, with her five maidens who attended her; and she followed the messengers of David and became his wife.

43 O o Daa'uud haddana Axiinocamtii reer Yesreceel buu guursaday, oo labadoodiiba waxay noqdeen naagihiisii.

David had also taken Ahinoam of Jezreel, and they both became his wives.

44 H addaba Saa'uul gabadhiisii Miikaal ee Daa'uud naagtiisa ahayd wuxuu siiyey Faltii oo ahaa ina Layish, kaasoo ahaa reer Galliim.

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