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 the Israelites gathered together and lamented for him, and buried him at his home in Ramah. And David arose and went down to the Wilderness of Paran. David and the Wife of Nabal

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. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. And 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.

The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And she was a woman of good understanding and beautiful appearance; but the man was harsh and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb.

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

When 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;

David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, go to 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 to him who lives in prosperity: ‘Peace be to you, peace to your house, and peace 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. Your shepherds were with us, and we did not hurt them, nor was there anything missing from them all the while 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 come on a feast day. Please give whatever comes to your 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.

So when David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all these words in the name of David, and 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.

Then Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, “Who is David, and who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants nowadays who break away each one 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 killed for my shearers, and give it to men when I do not know where they are from?”

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 turned on their heels and went back; and they came and told him 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.

Then David said to his men, “Every man gird on his sword.” So every man girded on his sword, and David also girded on his sword. And about four hundred men went with David, and two hundred stayed with the supplies.

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.

Now one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master; and he reviled 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.

But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, nor did we miss anything as long as we accompanied them, when 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 day, all the time we were with them keeping 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 will do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that one cannot speak to him.”

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 made haste and took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five sheep already dressed, five seahs of roasted grain, one 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.

And she said to her servants, “Go on before me; see, 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.

So it was, as she rode on the donkey, that she went down under cover of the hill; and there were David and his men, coming down toward her, and 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 protected all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belongs to him. And he has repaid 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, and more also, to the enemies of David, if I leave one male of all who belong to him by morning light.”

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

Now when Abigail saw David, she dismounted quickly from the donkey, fell on her face before David, and bowed down 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.

So she fell at his feet and said: “On me, my lord, on me let this iniquity be! And please let your maidservant speak in your ears, and hear 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, let not my lord regard this scoundrel 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 held you back from coming to bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now then, let your enemies and those who seek harm for 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.

And now this present which your maidservant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow 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 trespass of your maidservant. For the Lord will certainly make for my lord an enduring house, because my lord fights the battles of the Lord, and evil is not found in you throughout 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.

Yet a man has risen to pursue you and seek your life, but the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with the Lord your God; and the lives of your enemies He shall sling out, as from the pocket 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 it shall come to pass, when the Lord has done for my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and has appointed 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.

that this will 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. But when the Lord has dealt 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 is 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 is your advice and blessed are you, because you have kept me this day from coming to bloodshed and from avenging myself with 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.

For indeed, as the Lord God of Israel lives, who has kept me back from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely by morning light no males would have been left to Nabal!”

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 in peace to your house. See, I have heeded your voice and respected your person.”

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.

Now Abigail went to Nabal, and there 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; therefore she told him nothing, little or much, until 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.

So it was, in the morning, when the wine had gone from Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.

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

Then it happened, after about ten days, that the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.

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.

So 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 His servant from evil! For the Lord has returned the wickedness of Nabal on his own head.” And David sent and proposed 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 had come to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her saying, “David sent us to you, to ask you to become 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.

Then she arose, bowed her face to the earth, and said, “Here is your maidservant, a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”

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.

So Abigail rose in haste and rode on a donkey, attended by five of her maidens; 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 also took Ahinoam of Jezreel, and so both of them were 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.

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