1 Samuel 25Revised Standard Version (RSV) Death of Samuel 25 Now Samuel died; and all Israel assembled and mourned for him, and they buried him in his house at Ramah. David and the Wife of Nabal Then David rose and went down to the wilderness of Paran. 2 And there was a man in Ma′on, whose business was in Carmel. The man was very rich; he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. He was shearing his sheep in Carmel. 3 Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Ab′igail. The woman was of good understanding and beautiful, but the man was churlish and ill-behaved; he was a Calebite. 4 David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep. 5 So David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name. 6 And thus you shall salute him: ‘Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have. 7 I hear that you have shearers; now your shepherds have been with us, and we did them no harm, and they missed nothing, all the time they were in Carmel. 8 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. Pray, give whatever you have at hand to your servants and to your son David.’” 9 When David’s young men came, they said all this to Nabal in the name of David; and then they waited. 10 And Nabal answered David’s servants, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants nowadays who are breaking away from their masters. 11 Shall I take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who come from I do not know where?” 12 So David’s young men turned away, and came back and told him all this. 13 And David said to his men, “Every man gird on his sword!” And every man of them girded on his sword; David also girded on his sword; and about four hundred men went up after David, while two hundred remained with the baggage. 14 But one of the young men told Ab′igail, Nabal’s wife, “Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed at them. 15 Yet the men were very good to us, and we suffered no harm, 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 both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep. 17 Now therefore know this and consider what you should do; for evil is determined against our master and against all his house, and he is so ill-natured that one cannot speak to him.” 18 Then Ab′igail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two skins of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses. 19 And she said to her young men, “Go on before me; behold, I come after you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal. 20 And as she rode on the ass, and came down under cover of the mountain, behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them. 21 Now David had said, “Surely in vain have I guarded all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him; and he has returned me evil for good. 22 God do so to David and more also, if by morning I leave so much as one male of all who belong to him.” 23 When Ab′igail saw David, she made haste, and alighted from the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed to the ground. 24 She fell at his feet and said, “Upon me alone, my lord, be the guilt; pray let your handmaid speak in your ears, and hear the words of your handmaid. 25 Let not my lord regard this ill-natured fellow, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I your handmaid did not see the young men of my lord, whom you sent. 26 Now then, my lord, as the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, seeing the Lord has restrained you from bloodguilt, and from taking vengeance with your own hand, now then let your enemies and those who seek to do evil to my lord be as Nabal. 27 And now let this present which your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow my lord. 28 Pray forgive the trespass of your handmaid; for the Lord will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the Lord; and evil shall not be found in you so long as you live. 29 If men rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living in the care of the Lord your God; and the lives of your enemies he shall sling out as from the hollow of a sling. 30 And when the Lord has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you prince over Israel, 31 my lord shall have no cause of grief, or pangs of conscience, for having shed blood without cause or for my lord taking vengeance himself. And when the Lord has dealt well with my lord, then remember your handmaid.” 32 And David said to Ab′igail, “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me! 33 Blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodguilt and from avenging myself with my own hand! 34 For as surely as the Lord the God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from hurting you, unless you had made haste and come to meet me, truly by morning there had not been left to Nabal so much as one male.” 35 Then David received from her hand what she had brought him; and he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house; see, I have hearkened to your voice, and I have granted your petition.” 36 And Ab′igail came to Nabal; and lo, 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 told him nothing at all until the morning light. 37 And in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone. 38 And about ten days later the Lord smote Nabal; and he died. 39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed be the Lord who has avenged the insult I received at the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil; the Lord has returned the evil-doing of Nabal upon his own head.” Then David sent and wooed Ab′igail, to make her his wife. 40 And when the servants of David came to Ab′igail at Carmel, they said to her, “David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife.” 41 And she rose and bowed with her face to the ground, and said, “Behold, your handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.” 42 And Ab′igail made haste and rose and mounted on an ass, and her five maidens attended her; she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife. 43 David also took Ahin′o-am of Jezreel; and both of them became his wives. 44 Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of La′ish, who was of 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।
