Verse 1

Samuel døde; og hele Israel samlet seg og sørget over ham, og de begravde ham i huset hans i Rama. David reiste seg og dro ned til ørkenen Paran.

Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

Verse 2

Det var en mann i Maon, som hadde eiendeler i Karmel. Mannen var meget rik, og han hadde tre tusen sauer og tusen geiter, og han var i Karmel for å klippe sine sauer.

There was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

Verse 3

Nabal var hans navn, og hans kone het Abigail. Hun var klok og vakker, men mannen var gretten og slem i sin oppførsel, og han tilhørte Kalebs hus.

Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful face: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

Verse 4

David fikk høre i ørkenen at Nabal klippet sine sauer.

David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

Verse 5

David sendte ti unge menn, og David sa til dem: Gå opp til Karmel, og gå til Nabal og hils ham fra meg.

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:

Verse 6

Si til ham som lever [i overflod]: Fred være med deg, fred være med ditt hus, og fred være med alt du har.

and thus shall you tell him who lives [in prosperity], Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.

Verse 7

Nå har jeg hørt at du har saueklippere. Dine gjetere har vært hos oss, og vi har ikke gjort dem noe vondt, og ingenting gikk tapt for dem så lenge de var i Karmel.

Now I have heard that you have shearers: your shepherds have now been with us, and we did them no hurt, neither was there anything missing to them, all the while they were in Carmel.

Verse 8

Spør dine unge menn, så vil de fortelle deg. La de unge mennene finne nåde for dine øyne, for vi er kommet på en god dag. Gi, vær så snill, hva enn du har for hånden til dine tjenere og til din sønn David.

Ask your young men, and they will tell you: therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes; for we come in a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand, to your servants, and to your son David.

Verse 9

Da Davids unge menn kom, talte de til Nabal i henhold til alle disse ordene i Davids navn, og ventet.

When David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

Verse 10

Nabal svarte Davids tjenere og sa: Hvem er David? Og hvem er Isais sønn? Det er mange tjenere nå til dags som bryter ut hver mann fra sin herre.

Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants now-a-days who break away every man from his master.

Verse 11

Skal jeg da ta mitt brød og mitt vann, og mitt kjøtt som jeg har slaktet for mine saueklippere, og gi det til folk som jeg ikke vet hvor de kommer fra?

Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who I don't know where they come from?

Verse 12

Så snudde Davids unge menn seg, gikk tilbake, og kom og fortalte ham alle disse ordene.

So David's young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.

Verse 13

David sa til sine menn: Bind hver mann sitt sverd. De bandt hver mann sitt sverd, og David bandt også sitt sverd. Omkring fire hundre menn fulgte etter David, mens to hundre ble igjen ved lasten.

David said to his men, Gird you on every man his sword. They girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the baggage.

Verse 14

Men en av de unge mennene fortalte Abigail, Nabals kone, og sa: Se, David sendte bud fra ørkenen for å hilse vår herre, men han skjelte dem ut.

But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to Greet our master; and he railed at them.

Verse 15

Men mennene var meget gode mot oss, vi ble ikke skadet, ikke savnet vi noe, så lenge vi var med dem mens vi var på markene.

But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields:

Verse 16

De var en mur for oss, både natt og dag, hele tiden vi passet sauene hos dem.

they were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

Verse 17

Så vit nå og vurder hva du vil gjøre, for ulykken truer vår herre og hele hans hus, for han er en slik ussel mann at ingen kan snakke ham til rette.

Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house: for he is such a worthless fellow that one can't speak to him.

Verse 18

Da skyndte Abigail seg, tok to hundre brød, to skinnsekker med vin, fem ferdig tilberedte sauer, fem mål stekt korn, hundre rosinklaser og to hundre fikenkaker, og la dem på eslene.

Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched grain, and one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.

Verse 19

Hun sa til sine unge menn: Gå foran meg, se, jeg kommer etter dere. Men hun fortalte ikke sin mann Nabal.

She said to her young men, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she didn't tell her husband, Nabal.

Verse 20

Så skjedde det mens hun red på eselet og kom ned under fjelldekket, at se, David og hans menn kom ned imot henne, og hun møtte dem.

It was so, as she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.

Verse 21

David hadde sagt: Sannelig, forgjeves har jeg voktet alt som denne mannen eide i ørkenen, slik at ingenting gikk tapt av alt som tilhørte ham, og han har gjengjeldt meg ondt for godt.

Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him: and he has returned me evil for good.

Verse 22

Gud gjøre slik med Davids fiender og enda mer, dersom jeg lar noe som helst mannfolk bli igjen hos ham til morgengryet.

God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one man-child.

Verse 23

Da Abigail så David, skyndte hun seg, steg av eselet, falt ned foran David på sitt ansikt og bøyde seg til jorden.

When Abigail saw David, she hurried, and alighted from her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.

Verse 24

Hun falt ved hans føtter og sa: På meg, min herre, på meg være skylden. La, vær så snill, din tjenestekvinne tale til deg, min herre, og lytt til din tjenestekvinnes ord.

She fell at his feet, and said, On me, my lord, on me be the iniquity; and please let your handmaid speak in your ears. Hear the words of your handmaid.

Verse 25

La ikke min herre bry seg om denne usle mannen Nabal; for som hans navn er, slik er han: Nabal er hans navn, og dårskap er hos ham. Men jeg din tjenestekvinne så ikke de unge mennene du sendte, min herre.

Please don't let my lord regard this worthless fellow, even Nabal; for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I your handmaid didn't see the young men of my lord, whom you did send.

Verse 26

Så nå, min herre, så sant Herren lever, og som din sjel lever, siden Herren har holdt deg tilbake fra blodskyld og fra å hevne deg med din egen hånd, la nå dine fiender og de som ønsker deg ondt, min herre, bli som Nabal.

Now therefore, my lord, as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, seeing Yahweh has withheld you from blood guiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

Verse 27

Denne gaven som din tjenerinne har brakt til min herre, la den bli gitt til de unge mennene som følger min herre.

Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

Verse 28

Tilgi, vær så snill, din tjenerinnes overtredelse. For Herren vil visselig gjøre min herres hus trygt, fordi min herre kjemper Herrens kamper, og det skal ikke bli funnet noe ondt hos deg alle dine dager.

Please forgive the trespass of your handmaid: for Yahweh will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of Yahweh; and evil shall not be found in you all your days.

Verse 29

Selv om mennesker forfølger deg og søker ditt liv, skal min herres sjel være bundet i livets knytte hos Herren din Gud, og dine fienders sjeler skal han slynge ut, som fra en slynge.

Though men be risen up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Yahweh your God; and the souls of your enemies, them shall he sling out, as from the hollow of a sling.

Verse 30

Det skal skje, når Herren gjør alt det gode han har sagt om deg, min herre, og gjør deg til fyrste over Israel,

It shall come to pass, when Yahweh shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and shall have appointed you prince over Israel,

Verse 31

at dette ikke vil være til sorg for deg, heller ikke som en anklage i hjertet ditt, min herre, at du har utøst blod uten grunn, eller at min herre har tatt hevn med egen hånd. Når Herren gjør vel mot deg, min herre, så husk din tjenerinne.

that this shall be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When Yahweh shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember your handmaid.

Verse 32

David sa til Abigail: Velsignet være Herren, Israels Gud, som sendte deg i dag for å møte meg.

David said to Abigail, Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me:

Verse 33

Velsignet være din forstand, og velsignet være du, som har holdt meg tilbake i dag fra blodskyld og fra å hevne meg med min egen hånd.

and blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you, that have kept me this day from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.

Verse 34

For sannelig, som Herren, Israels Gud lever, som har holdt meg tilbake fra å skade deg, dersom du ikke hadde skyndt deg og kommet for å møte meg, ville det ikke ha vært igjen så mye som en mann av Nabal ved morgengryet.

For in very deed, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from hurting you, except you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn't have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one man-child.

Verse 35

David tok imot fra hennes hånd det hun hadde brakt til ham, og han sa til henne: Gå opp i fred til ditt hus; se, jeg har lyttet til din stemme og akseptert deg.

So David received of her hand that which she had brought him: and he said to her, Go up in peace to your house; behold, I have listened to your voice, and have accepted your person.

Verse 36

Abigail kom til Nabal; se, han holdt et gjestebud i sitt hus som en kongelig fest. Nabals hjerte var lystig i ham, for han var meget beruset. Derfor fortalte hun ham ingenting, verken lite eller stort, før morgenlyset.

Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

Verse 37

Om morgenen, da vinen hadde gått ut av Nabal, fortalte hans kone ham disse tingene, og hans hjerte døde i ham, og han ble som en stein.

It happened in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

Verse 38

Omtrent ti dager etter slo Herren Nabal, så han døde.

It happened about ten days after, that Yahweh struck Nabal, so that he died.

Verse 39

Da David hørte at Nabal var død, sa han: Velsignet være Herren, som har kjempet min bespottelses sak fra Nabals hånd, og han holdt sin tjener fra ondt. Og Nabals ondskap har Herren lagt på hans eget hode. David sendte bud og snakket med Abigail, for å ta henne som sin kone.

When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Yahweh, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil: and the evil-doing of Nabal has Yahweh returned on his own head. David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him as wife.
