1 Samuel 25New Life Version (NLV) The Death of Samuel 25 Now Samuel died. All Israel gathered together and was filled with sorrow for him. They buried him at his house in Ramah. Then David got ready and went down to the desert of Paran. 2 There was a man in Maon who worked in Carmel. The man was very rich. He had 3,000 sheep and 1,000 goats. He was cutting the wool from his sheep in Carmel. 3 The man’s name was Nabal, and his wife’s name was Abigail. The woman was of good understanding and beautiful. But the man was bad and sinful in his ways. He was a Calebite. 4 David heard in the desert that Nabal was cutting the wool from his sheep. 5 So David sent ten young men, saying to them, “Go up to Carmel. Visit Nabal and greet him for me. 6 Say to him, ‘Have a long life. Peace be to you. Peace be to your family. And peace be to all that you have. 7 I have heard that you have men who cut the wool from your sheep. Now your shepherds have been with us, and we have not done them any wrong. And they have not missed anything all the time they were in Carmel. 8 Ask your young men and they will tell you. So let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we have come on a special day. I ask you to give whatever you have ready to your servants and to your son David.’” 9 When David’s young men came, they said all this to Nabal in David’s name. Then they waited. 10 But Nabal answered David’s servants, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants these days who are leaving their owners. 11 Should I take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my wool cutters, and give it to men when I do not know where they came from?” 12 So David’s young men turned away and returned to David and told him all this. 13 David said to his men, “Every man put on his sword!” So every man put on his sword, and David put on his sword also. About 400 men went up behind David, while 200 stayed with their things. 14 But one of the young men told Nabal’s wife Abigail, “See, David sent men from the desert to greet our owner, and he spoke against them. 15 But David’s men were very good to us. They did not do anything wrong to us. And we did not miss anything when we were in the fields, as long as we went with them. 16 They were a wall to us night and day, all the time we were with them taking care of the sheep. 17 So know this and think about what you should do. For bad plans have been made against our owner and all his family. He is such a sinful man that no one can speak to him.” 18 In a hurry Abigail took 200 loaves of bread, two bottles of wine, five sheep ready to eat, five baskets of dry grain, 100 vines of dried grapes and 200 loaves of figs, and loaded them on donkeys. 19 She said to her young men, “Go on before me. See, I am coming after you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal. 20 As she went on her donkey and came down hidden by the mountain, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them. 21 Now David had said, “It was for nothing that I have watched over all this man has in the desert, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him. He has paid me bad for good. 22 May God do the same to David and more, if I leave until morning as much as one male alive of all who belong to him.” 23 When Abigail saw David, she got off her donkey in a hurry. Then she put her face to the ground in front of David. 24 She fell at his feet and said, “Let the sin be on me alone, my lord. I beg you, let your woman servant speak to you. Listen to the words of your woman servant. 25 I beg you, do not let my lord think about this sinful man, Nabal. For he is like his name. Nabal is his name and he is foolish. But I your woman servant did not see my lord’s young men whom you sent. 26 So now, my lord, as the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, let the Lord keep you from being guilty of blood. Let Him keep you from punishing with your own hand. And let those who hate you and those who want to hurt my lord be like Nabal. 27 Now let this gift which your woman servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow my lord. 28 I beg you, forgive the sin of your woman servant. For the Lord will be sure to make my lord a family that will last. Because my lord is fighting the Lord’s battles. Sin will not be found in you as long as you live. 29 If men rise up to come after you and try to kill you, then the life of my lord will be taken care of by the Lord your God. But He will throw away the lives of those who hate you, as a rock is thrown from a sling. 30 The Lord will do to my lord all the good that He has promised you. He will make you ruler over Israel. 31 Then my lord will have no reason to feel sorry or guilty because of killing without cause or punishing by my lord’s own hand. When the Lord does good things for my lord, remember your woman servant.” 32 Then David said to Abigail, “Thanks be to the Lord God of Israel, Who sent you this day to meet me. 33 May thanks be given for your wisdom, and thanks be to you. You have kept me this day from being guilty of blood, and from punishing with my own hand. 34 The Lord God of Israel has kept me from hurting you. And as the Lord lives, if you had not been quick to come to meet me, for sure not one male would have been left to Nabal until the morning.” 35 So David received what she had brought him. He said to her, “Go up to your house in peace. See, I have listened to you and have done what you asked.” 36 Abigail came to Nabal and saw that he was having a special supper in his house, like the special supper of a king. Nabal’s heart was full of joy, because he was very drunk. So she did not tell him anything until the morning. 37 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 like a stone. 38 The Lord made Nabal die about ten days later. 39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Thanks be to the Lord, Who has punished Nabal for putting me to shame. He has kept His servant from sin. And the Lord has turned the sin of Nabal upon himself.” Then David sent word to Abigail, asking her to be his wife. 40 When David’s servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they said to her, “David has sent us to you, to take you as his wife.” 41 She stood up and then put her face to the ground, and said, “See, your woman servant will serve you by washing the feet of my lord’s servants.” 42 Then she got ready in a hurry and traveled on a donkey, with her five young women who followed her. She followed the men David had sent, and became his wife. 43 David had taken Ahinoam of Jezreel also. They both became his wives. 44 Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was from 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।
