1 Samuel 25
Maori Bible
25 Na ka mate a Hamuera, a ka huihui a Iharaira katoa ki te tangi ki a ia, a tanumia iho ia ki tona whare ki Rama. Na ka whakatika a Rawiri, a haere ana ki te koraha o Parana.
2 A i Maono tetahi tangata, kei Karamere ona taonga; he nui rawa taua tangata, e toru mano ana hipi, kotahi mano nga koati: heoi kei te kutikuti tera i ana hipi ki Karamere.
3 Na ko te ingoa o taua tangata ko Napara, ko Apikaira hoki te ingoa o tana wahine; a he pai nga whakaaro o te wahine, he mata ataahua ano hoki: he pakeke ia te tane, i kino hoki ana mahi; no te whare ano ia o Karepe.
4 A ka rongo a Rawiri i te koraha kei te kutikuti a Napara i ana hipi.
5 Ka unga etahi taitama e Rawiri, kotahi tekau; i mea hoki a Rawiri ki nga taitama, Haere ki runga ki Karamere, a ka tae ki a Napara, ka oha ki ai ia, me te whakahua ano i toku ingoa:
6 A kia penei ta koutou ki atu ki taua tangata e noho ora mai nei, Kia mau te rongo ki a koe, kia mau te rongo ki tou whare, kia mau te rongo ki au mea katoa.
7 Na kua rongo nei ahau he kaikutikuti au: na, au hepara i a matou ra, kihai ratou i ahatia e matou, kihai rawa hoki tetahi o a ratou mea i ngaro i nga ra katoa o ratou ki Karamere.
8 Mau e ui ki au taitama, a ka korerotia e ratou ki a koe. Na kia manakohia nga taitama na e koe; kua tae mai hoki matou i te ra pai. Tena, homai ta tou ringa i tupono ai ki au pononga, ki tau tama hoki, ki a Rawiri.
9 Na, i te taenga o nga tangata a Rawiri, korerotia ana e ratou enei kupu katoa ki a Napara, me te whakahua ano i te ingoa o Rawiri, a heoi ano ta ratou.
10 Na ka utu a Napara ki ta nga tangata a Rawiri, ka mea, Ko wai a Rawiri? ko wai hoki te tama a Hehe? he tini nga pononga i enei ra e tahuri ana i o ratou rangatira.
11 Me tango koia e ahau taku taro, toku wai, me aku mea hoki i patua nei e ahau ma aku kaikutikuti, me hoatu ma nga tangata kahore nei i mohiotia e ahau no hea ranei ratou?
12 Na ka tahuri nga tangata a Rawiri ki to ratou ara, a hoki ana, haere ana, korerotia ana e ratou ki a ia enei mea katoa.
13 Na ka mea a Rawiri ki ana tangata, Whitikiria a koutou hoari, e tenei, e tenei. Na whitikiria ana e ratou tana hoari, tana hoari; i whitiki ano a Rawiri i tana hoari. Na ka haere ki runga, ka whai i a Rawiri: tata tonu aua tangata ki te wha nga rau; e rua hoki nga rau i noho ki nga taonga.
14 Otiia ka korero tetahi o nga taitama ki a Apikaira wahine a Napara ka mea, Nana, i tona mai etahi tangata e Rawiri i te koraha, ki te oha ki to matou rangatira; heoi whakatupehupehu ana ia ki a ratou.
15 Otiia pai rawa aua tangata ki a matou, kihai hoki i aha ki a matou, kihai ano i ngaro tetahi mea a matou i nga ra katoa i haereere tahi ai matou me ratou, i a matou ra i te parae.
16 He taiepa ratou ki a matou i te po, i te ao, i nga ra katoa i tata ai matou ki a ratou, i a matou e tiaki ana i nga hipi.
17 Tena ra, mau e whakaaro, e titiro ki tau e mea ai; kua takoto hoki he kino mo to matou rangatira, ratou ko tona whare katoa: koia rawa hoki kia tama ia na Periara, kahore tetahi e ahei te korero ki a ia.
18 Na hohoro tonu a Apikaira, maua atu ana e ia he taro e rua rau, he waina e rua nga ipu, he hipi e rima, he mea kua oti te taka, he kanga pahuhu e rima nga mehua, he tautau karepe maroke kotahi rau, he papa piki e rua rau, he mea whakawaha ki te kaihe.
19 Na ka mea ia ki ana taitama, Hoake ki mua i ahau; tena ahau te haere atu na i muri i a koutou. Kihai hoki i korerotia e ia ki tana tahu, ki a Napara.
20 Na i a ia e haere atu ana i runga i tona kaihe, a e heke atu ana i te wahi ruru o te maunga, na ko Rawiri ratou ko ana tangata e heke mai ana, e tika mai ana ki a ia; na pono tonu atu ia ki a ratou.
21 Heoi kua ki a Rawiri, Maumau tiaki noa ahau i nga mea katoa a tenei koroke i te koraha, kahore rawa hoki tetahi o ana mea katoa i ngaro; na utua mai ana e ia te pai ki te kino.
22 Kia meatia tenei e te Atua ki nga hoariri o Rawiri me etahi mea ano hoki, ki te waiho e ahau o ana mea katoa i te aonga ake kia kotahi nei tamaiti tane.
23 Na, i te kitenga o Apikaira i a Rawiri, hohoro tonu ia, marere ana ki raro i te kaihe, tapapa ana i te aroaro o Rawiri, me te piko ano ki te whenua.
24 Na ka takoto ia ki ona waewae, a ka mea, Hei runga i ahau, e toku ariki, hei runga i ahau te kino; na kia korero tau pononga wahine ki ou taringa, whakarongo mai hoki ki nga kupu a tau pononga.
25 Kaua te ngakau o toku ariki e mea ki tenei tangata a Periara, ki a Napara: ko tona ingoa hoki, ko ia, rite tahi: ko Napara tona ingoa; kei a ia ano te wairangi. Ko ahau ia, ko tau pononga wahine, kihai i kite i nga taitama a toku ariki i tonoa a ke ra e koe.
26 Na, e toku ariki, e ora ana a Ihowa, e ora ana hoki tou wairua, i a Ihowa kau pupuri nei i a koe i te hara o te whakaheke toto, kei pa tou ringa ake ki te rapu utu, kia rite aianei ki a Napara ou hoariri, me te hunga e rapu ana i te he mo toku a riki.
27 Na, ko tenei manaakitanga i kawea mai nei e tau pononga ki toku ariki, tukua kia hoatu ki nga taitama i raro i nga waewae o toku ariki.
28 Tena ra, whakarerea noatia iho te kino a tau pononga wahine; he mea kua takoto rawa ta Ihowa whakapumau i te whare o toku ariki; e whawhai ana hoki toku ariki i nga whawhai a Ihowa; a e kore e mau tetahi he ou i ou ra katoa.
29 Ahakoa whakatika mai tetahi tangata ki te whai i a koe, ki te rapu i tou wairua, heoi ka paiherea te wairua o toku ariki ki roto ki te paihere ora ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua; ko nga wairua ia o ou hoariri ka piua atu me te mea no waenga pu i te kot aha.
30 A tenei ake, kei ta Ihowa meatanga ki toku ariki i nga mea katoa i korerotia e ia hei pai mou, a ka whakaturia koe e ia hei rangatira mo Iharaira;
31 Na, e kore tenei e waiho hei whakapouri mou, hei whakararu ranei mo te ngakau o toku ariki, ara tau whakaheke noa i te toto, te rapu ranei a toku ariki i te utu mona ake: e puta raia ta Ihowa pai ki toku ariki, na kia mahara ki tau pononga wahin e.
32 Na ka mea a Rawiri ki a Apikaira, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, nana nei koe i tono mai i tenei ra ki te whakatau i ahau.
33 Kia whakapaingia ano tou whakaaro tika, kia whakapaingia ano koe, mou i pupuri i ahau i tenei ra i te hara o te whakaheke toto, i te rapu utu hoki a toku ringa ake.
34 Na e ora ana a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira, nana nei ahau i pupuri kei kino ki a koe, me i kahore koe i hohoro te haere mai ki te whakatau i ahau, ina, kihai i toe ki te awatea apopo teahi mea a Napara kia kotahi nei tamaiti tane.
35 Heoi ka tangohia e Rawiri i tona ringa nga mea i kawea mai e ia ki a ia, a ka mea ki a ia, Haere i runga i te rangimarie ki tou whare: titiro, kua whakarongo nei ahau ki tou reo, kua whakapai hoki ki a koe.
36 Na haere ana a Apikaira ki a Napara, a i te mea hakari tera i roto i tona whare, koia ano kei te hakari a te kingi, a koa ana te ngakau o Napara i roto i a ia, he nui hoki tona haurangi. Na kihai i korerotia e ia tetahi mea ki a ia, ahakoa iti, ahakoa rahi, a marama noa te ata.
37 A, i te ata i te mea ka kore atu te waina i a Napara, na korerotia ana e tana wahine ki a ia enei mea katoa; na mate iho tona ngakau i roto i a ia, heoi kua rite ia ki te kohatu.
38 A, ka tekau nga ra, ka patua a Napara e Ihowa, a ka mate.
39 A, no te rongonga o Rawiri kua mate a Napara, ka mea ia, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa i tohe nei i te tohe ki a Napara mo toku tawainga; i pupuri nei i tana pononga kei kino, a whakahokia atu ana e Ihowa te kino a Napara ki runga ki tona matenga ake. Na ka tono tangata a Rawiri ki te korero ki a Apikaira, ki te tiki i a ia hei wahine mana.
40 A, i te taenga o nga tangata a Rawiri ki a Apikaira ki Karamere, ka korero ki a ia, ka mea, I tonoa mai matou e Rawiri ki te tiki mai i a koe hei wahine mana.
41 Na ka whakatika tera, a piko ana tona mata ki te whenua, ka mea, Tenei tau pononga hei pononga wahine, hei horoi i nga waewae o nga tangata a toku ariki.
42 Na hohoro ana a Apikaira, a whakatika ana, eke ana ki te kaihe; tokorima hoki ana kotiro i haere tahi me ia; na aru ana ia i nga karere a Rawiri, a ka waiho hei wahine mana.
43 I tangohia ano e Rawiri a Ahinoama o Ietereere; a ka waiho raua tokorua hei wahine mana.
44 Heoi kua hoatu e Haora a Mikara tana tamahine, te wahine a Rawiri, ki a Parati tama a Raihi, o Karimi.
1 Samuel 25
New International Version
1 Samuel 25
New International Version
David, Nabal and Abigail
25 Now Samuel died,(A) and all Israel assembled and mourned(B) for him; and they buried him at his home in Ramah.(C) Then David moved down into the Desert of Paran.[a]
2 A certain man in Maon,(D) who had property there at Carmel, was very wealthy.(E) He had a thousand goats and three thousand sheep, which he was shearing(F) in Carmel. 3 His name was Nabal and his wife’s name was Abigail.(G) She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband was surly and mean in his dealings—he was a Calebite.(H)
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(I) to you and your household! And good health to all that is yours!(J)
7 “‘Now I hear that it is sheep-shearing time. When your shepherds were with us, we did not mistreat(K) 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(L) 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(M) 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(N) 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(O), “Each of you strap on your sword!” So they did, and David strapped his on as well. About four hundred men went(P) up with David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies.(Q)
14 One of the servants told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, “David sent messengers from the wilderness to give our master his greetings,(R) but he hurled insults at them. 15 Yet these men were very good to us. They did not mistreat(S) us, and the whole time we were out in the fields near them nothing was missing.(T) 16 Night and day they were a wall(U) 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(V) 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,(W) a hundred cakes of raisins(X) and two hundred cakes of pressed figs, and loaded them on donkeys.(Y) 19 Then she told her servants, “Go on ahead;(Z) I’ll follow you.” But she did not tell(AA) 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.(AB) He has paid(AC) me back evil(AD) for good. 22 May God deal with David,[c] be it ever so severely,(AE) if by morning I leave alive one male(AF) 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.(AG) 24 She fell at his feet and said: “Pardon your servant, my lord,(AH) 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(AI),(AJ) 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(AK) and from avenging(AL) yourself with your own hands, may your enemies and all who are intent on harming my lord be like Nabal.(AM) 27 And let this gift,(AN) which your servant has brought to my lord, be given to the men who follow you.
28 “Please forgive(AO) your servant’s presumption. The Lord your God will certainly make a lasting(AP) dynasty for my lord, because you fight the Lord’s battles,(AQ) and no wrongdoing(AR) will be found in you as long as you live. 29 Even though someone is pursuing you to take your life,(AS) 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(AT) away as from the pocket of a sling.(AU) 30 When the Lord has fulfilled for my lord every good thing he promised concerning him and has appointed him ruler(AV) 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(AW) your servant.”(AX)
32 David said to Abigail, “Praise(AY) 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(AZ) 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(BA) 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(BB) 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(BC) spirits and very drunk.(BD) So she told(BE) 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.(BF) 38 About ten days later, the Lord struck(BG) 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(BH) 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(BI) of Jezreel, and they both were his wives.(BJ) 44 But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Paltiel[d](BK) son of Laish, who was from Gallim.(BL)
