1 Samuel 24-25 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) David Spares Saul 24 When Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was told, “David is in the wilderness near En-gedi.” 2 So Saul took 3,000 of Israel’s choice men and went to look for David and his men in front of the Rocks of the Wild Goats. 3 When Saul came to the sheep pens along the road, a cave was there, and he went in to relieve himself. David and his men were staying in the back of the cave, 4 so they said to him, “Look, this is the day the Lord told you about: ‘I will hand your enemy over to you so you can do to him whatever you desire.’” Then David got up and secretly cut off the corner of Saul’s robe. 5 Afterward, David’s conscience bothered him because he had cut off the corner of Saul’s robe. 6 He said to his men, “I swear before the Lord: I would never do such a thing to my lord, the Lord’s anointed. I will never lift my hand against him, since he is the Lord’s anointed.” 7 With these words David persuaded his men, and he did not let them rise up against Saul. Then Saul left the cave and went on his way. 8 After that, David got up, went out of the cave, and called to Saul, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed to the ground in homage. 9 David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to the words of people who say, ‘Look, David intends to harm you’? 10 You can see with your own eyes that the Lord handed you over to me today in the cave. Someone advised me to kill you, but I took pity on you and said: I won’t lift my hand against my lord, since he is the Lord’s anointed. 11 See, my father! Look at the corner of your robe in my hand, for I cut it off, but I didn’t kill you. Look and recognize that there is no evil or rebellion in me. I haven’t sinned against you even though you are hunting me down to take my life. 12 “May the Lord judge between you and me, and may the Lord take vengeance on you for me, but my hand will never be against you. 13 As the old proverb says, ‘Wickedness comes from wicked people.’ My hand will never be against you. 14 Who has the king of Israel come after? What are you chasing after? A dead dog? A flea? 15 May the Lord be judge and decide between you and me. May He take notice and plead my case and deliver me from you.” 16 When David finished saying these things to him, Saul replied, “Is that your voice, David my son?” Then Saul wept aloud 17 and said to David, “You are more righteous than I, for you have done what is good to me though I have done what is evil to you. 18 You yourself have told me today what good you did for me: when the Lord handed me over to you, you didn’t kill me. 19 When a man finds his enemy, does he let him go unharmed? May the Lord repay you with good for what you’ve done for me today. 20 “Now I know for certain you will be king, and the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand. 21 Therefore swear to me by the Lord that you will not cut off my descendants or wipe out my name from my father’s family.” 22 So David swore to Saul. Then Saul went back home, and David and his men went up to the stronghold. David, Nabal, and Abigail 25 Samuel died, and all Israel assembled to mourn for him, and they buried him by his home in Ramah. David then went down to the Wilderness of Paran. 2 A man in Maon had a business in Carmel; he was a very rich man with 3,000 sheep and 1,000 goats and was shearing his sheep in Carmel. 3 The man’s name was Nabal, and his wife’s name, Abigail. The woman was intelligent and beautiful, but the man, a Calebite, was harsh and evil in his dealings. 4 While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep, 5 so David sent 10 young men instructing them, “Go up to Carmel, and when you come to Nabal, greet him in my name. 6 Then say this: ‘Long life to you, and peace to you, to your family, and to all that is yours. 7 I hear that you are shearing. When your shepherds were with us, we did not harass them, and nothing of theirs was missing the whole time they were in Carmel. 8 Ask your young men, and they will tell you. So let my young men find favor with you, for we have come on a feast day. Please give whatever you can afford to your servants and to your son David.’” 9 David’s young men went and said all these things to Nabal on David’s behalf, and they waited. 10 Nabal asked them, “Who is David? Who is Jesse’s son? Many slaves these days are running away from their masters. 11 Am I supposed to take my bread, my water, and my meat that I butchered for my shearers and give them to these men? I don’t know where they are from.” 12 David’s men retraced their steps. When they returned to him, they reported all these words. 13 He said to his men, “All of you, put on your swords!” So David and all his men put on their swords. About 400 men followed David while 200 stayed with the supplies. 14 One of Nabal’s young men informed Abigail, Nabal’s wife: “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, but he yelled at them. 15 The men treated us well. When we were in the field, we weren’t harassed and nothing of ours was missing the whole time we were living among them. 16 They were a wall around us, both day and night, the entire time we were herding the sheep. 17 Now consider carefully what you must do, because there is certain to be trouble for our master and his entire family. He is such a worthless fool nobody can talk to him!” 18 Abigail hurried, taking 200 loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five butchered sheep, a bushel of roasted grain, 100 clusters of raisins, and 200 cakes of pressed figs, and loaded them on donkeys. 19 Then she said to her male servants, “Go ahead of me. I will be right behind you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal. 20 As she rode the donkey down a mountain pass hidden from view, she saw David and his men coming toward her and met them. 21 David had just said, “I guarded everything that belonged to this man in the wilderness for nothing. He was not missing anything, yet he paid me back evil for good. 22 May God punish me and do so severely if I let any of his men survive until morning.” 23 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off the donkey and fell with her face to the ground in front of David. 24 She fell at his feet and said, “The guilt is mine, my lord, but please let your servant speak to you directly. Listen to the words of your servant. 25 My lord should pay no attention to this worthless man Nabal, for he lives up to his name: His name is Nabal, and stupidity is all he knows. I, your servant, didn’t see my lord’s young men whom you sent. 26 Now my lord, as surely as the Lord lives and as you yourself live, it is the Lord who kept you from participating in bloodshed and avenging yourself by your own hand. May your enemies and those who want trouble for my lord be like Nabal. 27 Accept this gift your servant has brought to my lord, and let it be given to the young men who follow my lord. 28 Please forgive your servant’s offense, for the Lord is certain to make a lasting dynasty for my lord because he fights the Lord’s battles. Throughout your life, may evil not be found in you. 29 “When someone pursues you and attempts to take your life, my lord’s life will be tucked safely in the place where the Lord your God protects the living. However, He will fling away your enemies’ lives like stones from a sling. 30 When the Lord does for my lord all the good He promised and appoints you ruler over Israel, 31 there will not be remorse or a troubled conscience for my lord because of needless bloodshed or my lord’s revenge. And when the Lord does good things for my lord, may you remember me your servant.” 32 Then David said to Abigail, “Praise to the Lord God of Israel, who sent you to meet me today! 33 Your discernment is blessed, and you are blessed. Today you kept me from participating in bloodshed and avenging myself by my own hand. 34 Otherwise, as surely as the Lord God of Israel lives, who prevented me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, Nabal wouldn’t have had any men left by morning light.” 35 Then David accepted what she had brought him and said, “Go home in peace. See, I have heard what you said and have granted your request.” 36 Then Abigail went to Nabal, and there he was in his house, holding a feast fit for a king. Nabal was in a good mood and very drunk, so she didn’t say anything to him until morning light. 37 In the morning when Nabal sobered up, his wife told him about these events. Then he had a seizure and became paralyzed. 38 About 10 days later, the Lord struck Nabal dead. 39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise the Lord who championed my cause against Nabal’s insults and restrained His servant from doing evil. The Lord brought Nabal’s evil deeds back on his own head.” Then David sent messengers to speak to Abigail about marrying him. 40 When David’s servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they said to her, “David sent us to bring you to him as a wife.” 41 She stood up, then bowed her face to the ground and said, “Here I am, your servant, to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.” 42 Then Abigail got up quickly, and with her five female servants accompanying her, rode on the donkey following David’s messengers. And so she became his wife. 43 David also married Ahinoam of Jezreel, and the two of them became his wives. 44 But Saul gave his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Palti 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।
