25 Now Samuel died, and all Israel assembled and mourned for him; and they buried him at his home in Ramah. Then David moved down into the Desert of Paran.[a] 2 A certain man in Maon, who had property there at Carmel, was very wealthy. He had a thousand goats and three thousand sheep, which he was shearing in Carmel. 3 His name was Nabal and his wife’s name was Abigail. She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband was surly and mean in his dealings—he was a Calebite. 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 to you and your household! And good health to all that is yours! 7 “‘Now I hear that it is sheep-shearing time. When your shepherds were with us, we did not mistreat 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 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 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 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, “Each of you strap on your sword!” So they did, and David strapped his on as well. About four hundred men went up with David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies. 14 One of the servants told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, “David sent messengers from the wilderness to give our master his greetings, but he hurled insults at them. 15 Yet these men were very good to us. They did not mistreat us, and the whole time we were out in the fields near them nothing was missing. 16 Night and day they were a wall 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 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, a hundred cakes of raisins and two hundred cakes of pressed figs, and loaded them on donkeys. 19 Then she told her servants, “Go on ahead; I’ll follow you.” But she did not tell 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. He has paid me back evil for good. 22 May God deal with David,[c] be it ever so severely, if by morning I leave alive one male 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. 24 She fell at his feet and said: “Pardon your servant, my lord, 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, 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 and from avenging yourself with your own hands, may your enemies and all who are intent on harming my lord be like Nabal. 27 And let this gift, which your servant has brought to my lord, be given to the men who follow you. 28 “Please forgive your servant’s presumption. The Lord your God will certainly make a lasting dynasty for my lord, because you fight the Lord’s battles, and no wrongdoing will be found in you as long as you live. 29 Even though someone is pursuing you to take your life, 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 away as from the pocket of a sling. 30 When the Lord has fulfilled for my lord every good thing he promised concerning him and has appointed him ruler 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 your servant.” 32 David said to Abigail, “Praise 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 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 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 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 spirits and very drunk. So she told 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. 38 About ten days later, the Lord struck 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 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 of Jezreel, and they both were his wives. 44 But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Paltiel[d] son of Laish, who was from Gallim. 26 The Ziphites went to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding on the hill of Hakilah, which faces Jeshimon?” 2 So Saul went down to the Desert of Ziph, with his three thousand select Israelite troops, to search there for David. 3 Saul made his camp beside the road on the hill of Hakilah facing Jeshimon, but David stayed in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul had followed him there, 4 he sent out scouts and learned that Saul had definitely arrived. 5 Then David set out and went to the place where Saul had camped. He saw where Saul and Abner son of Ner, the commander of the army, had lain down. Saul was lying inside the camp, with the army encamped around him. 6 David then asked Ahimelek the Hittite and Abishai son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, “Who will go down into the camp with me to Saul?” “I’ll go with you,” said Abishai. 7 So David and Abishai went to the army by night, and there was Saul, lying asleep inside the camp with his spear stuck in the ground near his head. Abner and the soldiers were lying around him. 8 Abishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy into your hands. Now let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I won’t strike him twice.” 9 But David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed and be guiltless? 10 As surely as the Lord lives,” he said, “the Lord himself will strike him, or his time will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish. 11 But the Lord forbid that I should lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed. Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head, and let’s go.” 12 So David took the spear and water jug near Saul’s head, and they left. No one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up. They were all sleeping, because the Lord had put them into a deep sleep. 13 Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the hill some distance away; there was a wide space between them. 14 He called out to the army and to Abner son of Ner, “Aren’t you going to answer me, Abner?” Abner replied, “Who are you who calls to the king?” 15 David said, “You’re a man, aren’t you? And who is like you in Israel? Why didn’t you guard your lord the king? Someone came to destroy your lord the king. 16 What you have done is not good. As surely as the Lord lives, you and your men must die, because you did not guard your master, the Lord’s anointed. Look around you. Where are the king’s spear and water jug that were near his head?” 17 Saul recognized David’s voice and said, “Is that your voice, David my son?” David replied, “Yes it is, my lord the king.” 18 And he added, “Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done, and what wrong am I guilty of? 19 Now let my lord the king listen to his servant’s words. If the Lord has incited you against me, then may he accept an offering. If, however, people have done it, may they be cursed before the Lord! They have driven me today from my share in the Lord’s inheritance and have said, ‘Go, serve other gods.’ 20 Now do not let my blood fall to the ground far from the presence of the Lord. The king of Israel has come out to look for a flea—as one hunts a partridge in the mountains.” 21 Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Come back, David my son. Because you considered my life precious today, I will not try to harm you again. Surely I have acted like a fool and have been terribly wrong.” 22 “Here is the king’s spear,” David answered. “Let one of your young men come over and get it. 23 The Lord rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness. The Lord delivered you into my hands today, but I would not lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed. 24 As surely as I valued your life today, so may the Lord value my life and deliver me from all trouble.” 25 Then Saul said to David, “May you be blessed, David my son; you will do great things and surely triumph.” So David went on his way, and Saul returned home. 32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” 41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?” 42 The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers. 47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. 49 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” 54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. 55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time? 57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right? 58 As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. 59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.” Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® Used by permission.

1 शमूएल 26Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) दाऊद र अबीशै शाऊलको छाउनीमा पसे 26 जीपीका मानिसहरू शाऊललाई भेट्न गिबा गए। तिनीहरूले शाऊललाई भने, “हकीलाको पहाडमा दाऊद लुक्दैछ। यो पहाड यशीमोन देखि पारि पर्छ।” 2 शाऊल जीपको मरुभूमितिर गए। शाऊलले 3,000 सेनाहरू इस्राएलबाट छानेर लगे। शाऊल र उसका सेनाहरूले जीपको मरुभूमितिर दाऊदलाई खोजे। 3 शाऊलले उसको छाउनी हकीलाको पहाडमाथि बाटोको छेउमा यशीमोन तिर फर्काएर बनाए। दाऊद त्यही मरुभूमिमा थिए। शाऊलले पीछा गर्दैछन् भन्ने कुरा तिनलाई थाहा थियो। 4 यसर्थ दाऊदले चेवाहरू पठाए। दाऊदलाई थाहा लाग्यो शाऊल हकीलामा छ भनेर। 5 दाऊद शाऊलको छाउनीमा गए। शाऊल र अबनेर कहाँ सुतिरहेका थिए दाऊदले देखे। (नेरका छोरो अबनेर शाऊलका सेनाको सेनापति थिए।) शाऊल छाउनीको बीचमा सुते। सेनाहरू शाऊलको वरिपरि सुती रहेका थिए। 6 दाऊदले हित्ती अहीमेलेक र सरूयाहका छोरा अबीशैसित बात गरे। (अबीशै योआबका भाइ थिए।) तिनले भने, “मसँग शाऊलको छाउनीमा को जान्छ?” अबीशैले जवाफ दिए, “म तपाईंसँग जानेछु।” 7 जब रात पर्यो दाऊद र अबीशै शाऊलको छाउनीमा गए। शाऊल छाउनीको मध्य भागमा मस्त सुतिरहेका थिए। तिनको भाला तिनको शिर नेर भूँईमा गाडिएको थियो। अबनेर अरू सैनिकहरूसँगै शाऊलको वरिपरी मस्त सुतिरहेका थिए। 8 अबीशैले दाऊदलाई भने, “आज परमेश्वरले तपाईंको शत्रुलाई तपाईंको हातमा सुम्पिनु भएकोछ उसको भालाले उसैलाई रोप्न मलाई दिनुहोस्। म एकै खेपमा काम सिध्याउँछु।” 9 तर दाऊदले अबीशैलाई भने, “शाऊललाई नमार! परमेश्वरले छान्नु भएको राजालाई घात गर्दा दण्ड पाइन्छ। 10 साँच्चै नै परमेश्वर जीवित हुनुहुन्छ परमप्रभु आफैंले शाऊललाई दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ। शाऊल युद्ध भूमिमा मरोस अथवा स्वभाविक मृत्यु होस्। 11 तर म परमप्रभुले उहाँका चुनिएका राजालाई केही नोक्सान नपुर्याउन भनी उहाँलाई विन्ति गर्छु। शाऊलको शिरमा भएको भाला र पानीको सुराही उठाउ अनि हामी जानेछौ।” 12 यसरी दाऊदले भाला र पानीको सुराही शाऊलको शिरकै छेउबाट लिए। त्यसपछि दाऊद र अबीशै छाउनीबाट निस्किए। तिनीहरूले के गरे कसैले पनि थाहा पाएन। न कसैले देख्यो न त कोही ब्यूँझियो। शाऊल र तिनका सैनिकहरू गहिरो निद्रामा परेको कारण परमप्रभुले नै तिनीहरूलाई गहिरो निद्रामा पारिदिनुभएको थियो। दाऊदले फेरि पनि शाऊललाई लाजमर्दो बनाए 13 दाऊद बेंसी पार गरेर पारिपट्टि पुगे। शाऊलको छाउनीबाट पारी पहाडको टाकुरामा पुगे। दाऊद र शाऊलका छाउनीहरू धेरै टाढा-टाढा थिए। 14 दाऊदले सेना र खास गरी नेरका छोरा अबनेरलाई ठूलो स्वरमा कराएर भने, “अबनेर, मलाई जवाफ देऊ!” अबनेरले जवाफ दिए, “तिमी को हौ? किन महाराजलाई डाकिरहेछौ?” 15 दाऊदले भने, “तिमी मानिस हौ, कि होइनौ? अनि इस्राएल भरी सबभन्दा महान तिमी नै छौ। के यो सत्य होइन? त्यसो हो भने आफ्नो प्रभु महाराजको रक्षा किन ठिकसित गरेनौ? एउटा साधारण मानिसले तिम्रो राजालाई मार्न छाउनी भित्र आयो। 16 तिमीले एकदमै नराम्रो काम गर्यौ। जस्तो कि परमप्रभु जीवित हुनुहुन्छ, तिमी र तिम्रा मानिसहरू मर्नु पर्छ। किनभने तिमीहरूले आफ्ना परमप्रभुका अभिषिक्त राजाको रक्षा गरेनौ। अब हेर राजाको सिरानी छेउको भाला र पानी पिउने सुराही खोई, कहाँ छन्?” 17 शाऊलले दाऊदको स्वर चिने। शाऊलले भने, “मेरो छोरा दाऊद के यो स्वर तिम्रो हो?” दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “ज्यू, यो मेरै आवाज हो, मेरो प्रभु महाराजा।” 18 दाऊदले फेरि भने, “हे मेरा प्रभु, तपाईंले मेरो खेदो किन गर्नु हुदैछ? मैले के भूल गरें? मेरो के कसुर छ? 19 हे मेरो मालिक राजा म तपाईंको नोकरलाई सुन्नु होस् यदि परमप्रभुले नै तपाईंलाई म माथि रिस उठाउनु भएको हो भने एउटा भेट स्वीकार गरिदिनुहोस्। तर यदि मानिसले तपाईंलाई म माथि रिस उठाउनु भएको हो भने, परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई केही नराम्रो गर्नुहुनेछ। परमप्रभुले दिनुभएको भूमि त्याग्न मलाई मानिसहरूले जबरजस्ती गरे। तिनीहरूले मलाई भने, ‘जाऊ र विदेशीसँग बस र विदेशी देवतालाई पूजागर।’ 20 मलाई परमप्रभुबाट टाढा मर्न नदेऊ। इस्राएलका राजा झींङ्गाको पछि लाग्दैछ। तपाईं पहाडमा भ्यागुत्ताहरूको पछि लागेको मानिस जस्तो हुनुभयो।” 21 तब शाऊलले भने, “मैले पाप गरें। मेरो छोरा दाऊद यता आऊ आज मलाई प्रमाण गरेर देखाइ देऊ। तिम्रो निम्ति मेरो ज्यान महत्वपूर्ण छ। अब म तिमीलाई चोट पुर्याउने छैन। मैले मूर्खले झैं ठूलो भूल गरें।” 22 दाऊदले जवाफमा भने, “राजाको भाला यहाँ छ। यो लिन कुनै एक जना जवानलाई पठाउनुहोस्। 23 परमप्रभुले हरेक मानिसहरूलाई उसको धार्मिकता र विश्वसनीयताको निम्ति इनाम दिनुहुन्छ। उहाँले राम्रो काम गर्ने मानिसलाई इनाम दिनुहुन्छ र नराम्रो कार्य गर्नेलाई दण्ड दिनुहुन्छ। परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई हराउन आज मलाई मौका दिनुभयो। तर म परमप्रभुका अभिषिक्त राजालाई हानि गर्न चाहँदिन। 24 आज मैले प्रमाण गरें कि मेरो निम्ति तपाईंको जीवन महत्वपूर्ण छ। यस्तै प्रकार परमप्रभुले पनि देख्नु हुनेछ मेरो प्राण उहाँलाई महत्वपूर्ण छ। परमप्रभुले मलाई प्रत्येक खतराबाट बचाउँनु हुनेछ।” 25 त्यसपछि शाऊलले दाऊदलाई भने, “परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई आशीर्वाद दिऊन्, मेरो छोरा दाऊद। तिमीले ठूला-ठूला कार्यहरू गर्नेछौ र सफलता पनि पाउँनेछौ।” दाऊद आफ्नो बाटो लागे र शाऊल घरतिर फर्किए।
