1 Samuel 25Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) David and Nabal the Fool 25 Samuel died. All the Israelites met together and mourned his death. They buried him at his home in Ramah. Then David moved to the desert of Maon. 2 There was a very rich man living in Maon. He had 3000 sheep and 1000 goats. That man was in Carmel taking care of some business. He went there to cut the wool from his sheep. 3 This man’s name was Nabal. He was from Caleb’s family. Nabal’s wife was named Abigail. She was a wise and beautiful woman, but Nabal was a mean and cruel man. 4 David was in the desert when he heard that Nabal was cutting the wool from his sheep. 5 David sent ten young men to talk to Nabal. He told them, “Go to Carmel. Find Nabal and tell him ‘Hello’ for me.” 6 David gave them this message for Nabal: “May you and your family be well and all that you own be well. 7 I heard that you are cutting wool from your sheep. Your shepherds were with us for a while, and we did nothing wrong to them. We never took anything from your shepherds while they were at Carmel. 8 Ask your servants and they will tell you this is true. Please be kind to my young men. We come to you now, at this happy time. Please give these young men anything you can. Please do this for me, your friend David.” 9 David’s men went to Nabal. They gave his message to Nabal, 10 but Nabal said, “Who is David? Who is this son of Jesse? There are many slaves who have run away from their masters these days. 11 I have bread and water, and I have the meat I killed for my servants who cut the wool from my sheep. But I won’t give them to men I don’t even know.” 12 David’s men went back and told him everything that Nabal had said. 13 David’s response was, “Put on your swords.” So David and his men put on their swords. About 400 men went with David while 200 of them stayed with the supplies. Abigail Prevents Trouble 14 One of Nabal’s servants spoke to Nabal’s wife Abigail. The servant said, “David sent messengers from the desert to meet our master, but Nabal was rude to them. 15 These men were very good to us while we were out in the fields with the sheep. David’s men were with us the whole time, and they never did anything wrong to us. They did not take anything from us. 16 His men protected us night and day. They were like a wall around us—they protected us while we were with them caring for the sheep. 17 Nabal was foolish to say what he did. Terrible trouble is coming to our master and all his family. You need to think of something to do.” 18 Abigail quickly gathered up 200 loaves of bread, two full wine bags, five cooked sheep, about a bushel of cooked grain, about 2 quarts of raisins, and 200 cakes of pressed figs. She put them on donkeys. 19 Then Abigail told her servants, “Go on. I’ll follow you.” But she did not tell her husband. 20 Abigail rode her donkey down to the other side of the mountain. She met David and his men coming from the other direction. 21 David was saying, “I protected Nabal’s property in the desert. I made sure not one of his sheep was missing. I did all that for nothing. I was good to him, but he was rude to me. 22 I swear, I won’t let even one man in Nabal’s family live until tomorrow morning.” 23 Just then Abigail arrived. When she saw David, she quickly got off her donkey and bowed down with her face to the ground in front of him. 24 Abigail fell at his feet and said, “Sir, please let me talk to you. Listen to what I say. Blame me for what happened. 25 I didn’t see the men you sent. Sir, don’t pay any attention to that worthless man, Nabal. His name means ‘Foolish,’ and that is what he is. 26 The Lord has kept you from killing innocent people. As surely as the Lord lives and you as well, may your enemies and anyone else who wants to harm you be as cursed as Nabal is. 27 Now, I am bringing this gift to you. Please give these things to your men. 28 Please forgive me for doing wrong. I know the Lord will make your family strong because you fight his battles. People will never find anything bad about you as long as you live. 29 If someone chases you to kill you, the Lord your God will save your life. But he will throw away your enemies like a stone from a sling. 30 The Lord promised to do many good things for you, and he will keep his promises. He will make you leader over Israel. 31 So don’t do anything that would make you guilty of killing innocent people. Please don’t fall into that trap. Please remember me when the Lord blesses you.” 32 David answered Abigail, “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel. Praise God for sending you to meet me. 33 God bless you for your good judgment. You kept me from killing innocent people today. 34 As surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, if you hadn’t come quickly to meet me, not one man in Nabal’s family would have lived until tomorrow morning. But the Lord prevented me from hurting you.” 35 Then David accepted Abigail’s gifts. He told her, “Go home in peace. I have listened to your request, and I will do what you asked.” Nabal’s Death 36 Abigail went back to Nabal, who was in the house. He had been eating like a king, and he was drunk and feeling good. So Abigail told Nabal nothing until the next morning. 37 The next morning, Nabal was sober, so his wife told him everything. He had a heart attack and became as stiff as a rock. 38 About ten days later, the Lord gave him a stroke and Nabal died. 39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise the Lord! He judged Nabal to be wrong for insulting me and kept me from doing something wrong. The Lord made Nabal pay for what he did.” Then David sent a message to Abigail and asked her to be his wife. 40 His servants went to Carmel with this message, “David sent us to get you. He wants you to be his wife.” 41 Abigail bowed her face to the ground. She said, “I am willing to be your slave woman, even if it is only to wash the feet of my master’s servants.” 42 Abigail quickly got on a donkey and brought five of her maids with her. They followed David’s messengers. So Abigail became David’s wife. 43 David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel. Both Ahinoam and Abigail were David’s wives. 44 David was also married to Saul’s daughter Michal, but Saul had taken her away from him and had given her to a man named Palti, son of Laish. Palti was from the town named Gallim.

1 शमूएल 25Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) दाऊद र मूर्ख नाबाल 25 शमूएलको मृत्यु भयो। सारा इस्राएलीहरू भेला भएर शमूएलको मृत्युमा दुःख प्रकट गरे। तिनीहरूले शमूएललाई तिनको आफ्नै घर रामामा गाडे। त्यसपछि दाऊद पारानको मरुभूमितिर लागे 2 माओनमा एकजना असाध्यै धनी मानिस थिए। ऊसित 3,000 भेंडाहरू र 1,000 बाख्राहरू थिए। उसको कर्मेलमा धन-सम्पत्ति थियो। ऊ त्यहाँ आफ्नो भेंडाको ऊन कत्रन गयो। 3 त्यस मानिसको नाउँ नाबाल थियो। ऊ कालेब सन्तानको थियो। नाबालकी पत्नी अबीगेल थिईन, ऊ सुन्दरी र बुद्धिमती थिईन्। तर नाबाल, अति निष्ठुर र नीच स्वभावको मानिस थियो। 4 नाबालले भेंडाको ऊन कत्रँदैछ भन्ने खबर दाऊदले मरुभूमिको क्षेत्रमा नै सुने। 5 दाऊदले दशजना युवकहरूलाई नाबालकहाँ पठाए। दाऊदले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “कर्मेलम जाऊ र नाबाललाई मेरो नाउँमा ‘अभिवादन’ गर।” 6 उसलाई भन, “म आशा गर्छु कि तपाईंको परिवार र तपाईं अधिकार गर्नु भएका सबै असलै होलान्। 7 मैले थाहाँ पाएँ कि तपाईं आफ्नो भेंडाको ऊन कत्रँदै हुनुहुन्छ। तपाईंका गोठालाहरू केही समयदेखि हामीसित थिए। हामीले तिनीहरूसित खराब व्यवहार गरेनौ। जब तिनीहरू कर्मेलमा थिए तिनीहरूको केही पनि हराएन अथवा चोरेनन्। 8 तपाईंले सेवकहरूलाई सोध्नुहोस् अनि तिनीहरूले सत्य बोल्ने छन्। मेरो जवान मानिसहरूप्रति दया गर्नुहोस्। अहिले उत्सवको समय भएको कारण, तपाईंले जे गर्नु सक्नुहुन्छ मेरो सेनाहरूलाई गरिदिनुहोस्। मेरो निम्ति यति काम गरिदिनुहोस्, तपाईंको मित्र दाऊद।” 9 दाऊदका मानिसहरू नाबालकहाँ गए। तिनीहरूले दाऊदको समाचार नाबाललाई सुनाए। 10 तर नाबालले दुष्ट आचारण देखाए र भन्ने, “दाऊद को हो? यो यिशैको छोरो को हो? आज भोलि धेरै कमाराहरू आफ्ना मालिक छोडेर भाग्दैछन्। 11 मसँग रोटी-पानी छ। म सँग मासु पनि छ जुन मैले मेरो भेंडाहरूबाट ऊन कत्रँने नोकरहरूका निम्ति तयार पारेकोछु। तर म यो मासु रोटी अनि पानी नचिनेको मानिसहरूलाई दिने छैन्।” 12 दाऊदका मानिसहरू फर्केर गएर नाबालले भनेका सबै कुराहरू दाऊदलाई सुनाए। 13 त्यसपछि दाऊदले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई भने, “आफ्नो-आफ्नो तरवार भिर।” यसरी दाऊद र उनका मानिसहरूले तरवार भिरे। झण्डै 400 मानिसहरू दाऊदसँग गए। 200 मानिसहरू मात्र सर-सामानसँग बसे। अबीगेलले विपत्ती टारिन् 14 नाबालको एउटा नोकरले नाबालकी पत्नी अबीगेललाई भन्यो, “दाऊदले आफ्ना समाचार-वाहकहरूलाई हाम्रा मालिक नाबाल भए ठाउँसम्म पठाए। तर नाबाल तिनीहरू प्रति तुच्छ थिए। 15 ती मानिसहरू हाम्रा निम्ति साह्रै असल थिए। जब हामी भेंडाहरू मैदानमा लिएर जान्थ्यौं। दाऊदका मानिसहरू हामीसितै दिनभरी हुन्थे। अनि तिनीहरूले हाम्रो कुनै नोक्सान गरेनन्। तिनीहरूले कहिले पनि केही चोरेनन्। 16 दाऊदका मानिसहरूले दिन रात हाम्रो रक्षा गर्थे। हामीले भेंडा चराइरहेको समयमा पनि तिनीहरूले हाम्रो चारैतिरबाट पर्खालले झैं रक्षा गर्यो। 17 यसको विषयमा सोचेर केही गर्नुहोस्। नाबाल साह्रै मूर्ख छन् ऊसित कुरा गर्न सकिंदैन अनि आउने विपत्तिको विषयमा उसलाई चेताउनी दिन सकिंदैन। अब नाबाल र तिनका सन्तानमाथि ठूलो विपत्ती आइलाग्नेछ।” 18 अबीगेलले हतार-हतार 200 वटा रोटी, दुइ मशक दाखरस पाँचवटा पकाएको भेंडा, पाँच पाथी पकाएको चिउरा 100 झुप्पा किसमिस र सुकाएको 200 झुप्पा नेभारा तयार पारी गधाहरूमा लदाइन्। 19 त्यसपछि नोकरहरूलाई भनिन्, “यो लिएर जाऊ। म पछि-पछि आउँदै छु।” तर यी सब तिनले आफ्नो लोग्नेलाई भनिनन्। 20 गधामा चढेर अबीगेल त्यस पहाडको अर्को पट्टिको पखेरामा गइन्। तिनले दाऊदलाई आफ्ना मानिसहरूसँग पहाडको अर्को पट्टिबाट आउँदै गरेका भेटिन्। 21 अबीगेललाई भेट्न भन्दा अघि दाऊदले भन्दै थिए, “मैले त्यस मरुभूमिमा नाबालको सम्पत्ति रक्षा गरें। मैले यति सुरक्षा गरें कि नाबालले केही नोक्सान भोगेनन्। मैले गरेको सबै व्यर्थ भयो। मैले भलाई गरें तर त्यसले त दुर्व्यवहार गर्यो। 22 यदि मैले नाबालको परिवारका कुनै पनि पुरूषलाई भोलि बिहान सम्म जीवित रहन दिएँ भने मलाई परमेश्वरले दण्ड दिउन्।” 23 त्यति नै बेला अबीगेल आइपुगिन्। अबीगेलले दाऊदलाई देख्न साथ गधाबाट ओर्लिन् र दाऊदको अघि शिर झुकाईन्। 24 तिनको अनुहार दाऊदको अघि भूईँमा निहुराए र अबीगेलले भनिन्, “महाशय कृपया, मलाई केही भन्न दिनुहोस्। मैले भनेका कुरा सुनिदिनुहोस्। जे भयो त्यसका निम्ति मलाई दोषी ठहराउनुहोस्। 25 तपाईंले पठाउँनु भएका मानिसहरू मैले देखिनँ। महाशय त्यो काम नलाग्ने नाबालको कुरामा ध्यान नदिनुहोस्। जस्तो उसको नाउँ छ मानिस पनि त्यस्तै छ। उसको नाउँको अर्थ ‘मूर्ख,’ भए जस्तो ऊ पनि मूर्ख नै छ। 26 परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई निर्दोष मानिसहरूको हत्या गर्नबाट जोगाउनु भयो। जस्तो परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ त्यस्तै तपाईं पनि जीवित हुनुहुन्छ। म प्रार्थना गर्छु कि तपाईंका सबै शत्रुहरू अनि जसले तपाईंलाई क्षति गराउँन चाहन्छन् तिनीहरू सबै नाबाल जस्तै होउन्। 27 मैले तपाईंलाई केही उपहार ल्याएकी छु। तपाईंका मानिसहरूलाई दिनुहोस्। 28 मेरो भूलमा क्षमा दिनु होस्। मलाई थाहा छ परमप्रभुले तपाईंको परिवारालाई शक्तिशाली तुल्याउनु हुनेछ र धेरै राजाहरू तपाईंकै परिवारबाट आउनेछन्। परमप्रभुले यसो गर्नु हुनेछ कारण तपाईंले उहाँको निम्ति युद्ध गर्नु भएको छ। यसर्थ तपाईं बाँचुन्जेल मानिसहरूले तपाईमा कुनै खोट पाउने छैनन्। 29 यदि कसैले तपाईंलाई मार्न खेदो गर्यो भने परमप्रभु तपाईंको परमेश्वरले तपाईंको जीवनलाई बचाउँनु हुनेछ। तर घुँयेत्रोबाट ढुङ्गा फ्याँकिए झैं परमप्रभुले तपाईंका शत्रुहरूलाई फ्याँक्नु हुनेछ। 30 तपाईंलाई परमप्रभुले धेरै राम्रो कार्य गर्ने वचन दिनु भएको छ। उहाँले आफ्नो वचन पूरा गर्नुहुनेछ। परमेश्वरले तपाईंलाई इस्राएलको अगुवा बनाउनुहुनेछ। 31 तर तपाईं निर्दोष मानिसहरूको हत्या गरेर भूल नगर्नुहोस्। अझै भड्खालोमा नपस्नुहोस्। परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई जब सफलता हासिल गराउनु हुन्छ दया गरी मलाई सम्झनुहोला।” 32 दाऊदले अबीगेललाई जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर। आज उहाँले तिमीलाई म भए कहाँ पठाउनु भएको निम्ति प्रशंसा गर। 33 तिम्रो सही विचारको निम्ति परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई आशीर्वाद दिऊन्। आज निर्दोष मानिसहरूको हत्या गर्नबाट तिमीले मलाई रोक्यौ। 34 साँच्चै नै परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर जीवित हुनुहुन्छ म त्यो भन्छु। यदि तिमी ठीक समयमा नआइपुगेका भए भोलि बिहान सम्ममा नाबालका एउटै मानिस पनि जीवित रहने थिएनन्।” 35 त्यसपछि दाऊदले उपहार स्वीकार गरे। दाऊदले भने, “शान्तिसित घर जाऊ। मैले तिम्रा सबै कुरा सुने र म तिमीले भने जस्तै गर्नेछु।” नाबालको मृत्यु 36 अबीगेल घर फर्किन्। नाबाल घरैमा भोज मनाइरहेका थियो। नाबाल राजाले जस्तै भोजन खाँदै थिए। ऊ मग्न थिए अनि खूबै पिएका थिए। यसर्थ भोलि बिहान नहुन्जेल अबीगेलले केही भनिन। 37 भोलि पल्ट बिहान नाबाल शान्त थियो। यसर्थ उसकी पत्नीले सबै बताइन्। त्यत्ति नै बेला नाबाल मुटुको वेदनाले पीडित भयो। 38 झण्डै दश दिनपछि परमप्रभुले नाबाललाई मृत्यु दण्ड दिनुभयो। 39 दाऊदले नाबालको मृत्युको खबर सुने। दाऊदले भने, “परमप्रभुको महिमा होस्। नाबालले मेरो विषयमा दुष्ट कुरा गरे, तर परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले मेरो पक्ष लिनुभयो। परमप्रभुले मलाई पाप गर्नबाट बचाउँनु भयो अनि परमप्रभुले नाबाललाई उसका अपराधको निम्ति मृत्यु दण्ड दिनुभयो।” त्यसपछि दाऊदले अबीगेललाई समाचार पठाउनु भयो अनि दाऊदले उनलाई आफ्नी पत्नी हुने प्रस्ताव राख्नुभयो। 40 दाऊदका नोकरहरू कर्मेलमा आएर अबीगेललाई भने, “दाऊदले हामीलाई पठाउनु भएको छ। तपाईं उहाँकी पत्नी हुनुहोस् भन्नु भनी उहाँले समाचार पठाउनु भएको छ।” 41 अबीगेलले शिर झुकाइन् र भनिन्, “म तपाईंको दासी हुँ। म तपाईंको सेवा गर्न राजी छु। म मेरो स्वामी दाऊदका सेवकहरूका खुट्टा धुन तयार छु।” 42 हतार-हतार तयार भएर गधामा चढी ती दूतहरूसँग अबीगेल बाटो लागिन्। अबीगेलले आफूसित पाँचजना सहेंलीहरू लगिन् र आफू दाऊदकी पत्नी भइन्। 43 दाऊदले यिज्रेलकी अहीनोमलाई पनि विवाह गरेका थिए। दाऊदका अहीनोम र अबीगेल दुवै पत्नी भए। 44 दाऊदले शाऊलकी छोरी मीकललाई पनि विवाह गरेका थिए। तर शाऊलले तिनलाई दाऊदबाट खोसे। शाऊलले गल्लीमको लेशको छोरा पलिश्तीलाई मीकल दिएका थिए।
