 撒上25:1 撒母耳死了．以色列众人聚集、为他哀哭、将他葬在拉玛、他自己的坟墓里。〔坟墓原文作房屋〕大卫起身、下到巴兰的旷野。
 Then Samuel died; and all Israel gathered together and mourned for him, and buried him at his house in Ramah. And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
 撒上25:2 在玛云有一个人、他的产业在迦密．是一个大富户、有三千绵羊、一千山羊、他正在迦密剪羊毛。
 Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel; and the man was very rich, and he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. And it came about while he was shearing his sheep in Carmel
 撒上25:3 那人名叫拿八、是迦勒族的人．他的妻名叫亚比该、是聪明俊美的妇人．拿八为人刚愎凶恶。
 (now the man's name was Nabal, and his wife's name was Abigail. And the woman was intelligent and beautiful in appearance, but the man was harsh and evil in his dealings, and he was a Calebite),
 撒上25:4 大卫在旷野听见说拿八剪羊毛。
 that David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
 撒上25:5 大卫就打发十个仆人、吩咐他们、说、你们上迦密去、见拿八、题我的名问他安。
 So David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel, visit Nabal and greet him in my name;
 撒上25:6 要对那富户如此说、愿你平安、愿你家平安、愿你一切所有的都平安。
 and thus you shall say, 'Have a long life, peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.
 撒上25:7 现在我听说有人为你剪羊毛．你的牧人在迦密的时候、和我们在一处、我们没有欺负他们、他们也未曾失落甚麽。
 'Now I have heard that you have shearers; now your shepherds have been with us and we have not insulted them, nor have they missed anything all the days they were in Carmel.
 撒上25:8 可以问你的仆人、他们必告诉你．所以愿我的仆人在你眼前蒙恩．因为是在好日子来的．求你随手取点赐与仆人、和你儿子大卫。
 'Ask your young men and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we have come on a festive day. Please give whatever you find at hand to your servants and to your son David.'"
 撒上25:9 大卫的仆人到了、将这话题大卫的名都告诉了拿八、就住了口。
 When David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all these words in David's name; then they waited.
 撒上25:10拿八回答大卫的仆人说、大卫是谁．耶西的儿子是谁．近来悖逆主人奔逃的仆人甚多。
 But Nabal answered David's servants and said, "Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants today who are each breaking away from his master.
 撒上25:11我岂可将饮食、和为我剪羊毛人所宰的肉、给我不知道从那里来的人呢。
 "Shall I then take my bread and my water and my meat that I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men whose origin I do not know?"
 撒上25:12大卫的仆人就转身、从原路回去、照这话告诉大卫。
 So David's young men retraced their way and went back; and they came and told him according to all these words.
 撒上25:13大卫向跟随他的人说、你们各人都要带上刀。众人就都带上刀．大卫也带上刀．跟随大卫上去的约有四百人．留下二百人看守器具。
 David said to his men, "Each of you gird on his sword." So each man girded on his sword. And David also girded on his sword, and about four hundred men went up behind David while two hundred stayed with the baggage.
 撒上25:14有拿八的一个仆人告诉拿八的妻亚比该说、大卫从旷野打发使者来问我主人的安．主人却辱骂他们。
 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, "Behold, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, and he scorned them.
 撒上25:15但是那些人待我们甚好．我们在田野与他们来往的时候、没有受他们的欺负、也未曾失落甚麽。
 "Yet the men were very good to us, and we were not insulted, nor did we miss anything as long as we went about with them, while we were in the fields.
 撒上25:16我们在他们那里牧羊的时候、他们昼夜作我们的保障。
 "They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the time we were with them tending the sheep.
 撒上25:17所以你当筹画、看怎样行才好．不然、祸患定要临到我主人、和他全家．他性情凶暴、无人敢与他说话。
 "Now therefore, know and consider what you should do, for evil is plotted against our master and against all his household; and he is such a worthless man that no one can speak to him."
 撒上25:18亚比该急忙将二百饼、两皮袋酒、五只收拾好了的羊、五细亚烘好了的穗子、一百葡萄饼、二百无花果饼、都驮在驴上．
 Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread and two jugs of wine and five sheep already prepared and five measures of roasted grain and a hundred clusters of raisins and two hundred cakes of figs, and loaded them on donkeys.
 撒上25:19对仆人说、你们前头走、我随著你们去．这事他却没有告诉丈夫拿八。
 She said to her young men, "Go on before me; behold, I am coming after you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
 撒上25:20亚比该骑著驴、正下山坡、见大卫和跟随他的人从对面下来．亚比该就迎接他们。
 It came about as she was riding on her donkey and coming down by the hidden part of the mountain, that behold, David and his men were coming down toward her; so she met them.
 撒上25:21大卫曾说、我在旷野为那人看守所有的、以致他一样不失落、实在是徒然了．他向我以恶报善。
 Now David had said, "Surely in vain I have guarded all that this man has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him; and he has returned me evil for good.
 撒上25:22凡属拿八的男丁、我若留一个到明日早晨、愿　神重重降罚与我。
 "May God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if by morning I leave as much as one male of any who belong to him."
 撒上25:23亚比该见大卫、便急忙下驴、在大卫面前脸伏於地、叩拜．
 When Abigail saw David, she hurried and dismounted from her donkey, and fell on her face before David and bowed herself to the ground.
 撒上25:24俯伏在大卫的脚前、说、我主阿、愿这罪归我．求你容婢女向你进言．更求你听婢女的话。
 She fell at his feet and said, "On me alone, my lord, be the blame. And please let your maidservant speak to you, and listen to the words of your maidservant.
 撒上25:25我主不要理这坏人拿八、他的性情与他的名相称．他名叫拿八、〔就是愚顽的意思〕他为人果然愚顽．但我主所打发的仆人、婢女并没有看见。
 "Please do not let my lord pay attention to this worthless man, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name and folly is with him; but I your maidservant did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.
 撒上25:26我主阿、耶和华既然阻止你亲手报仇、取流血的罪、所以我指著永生的耶和华、又敢在你面前起誓、说、愿你的仇敌、和谋害你的人、都像拿八一样。
 "Now therefore, my lord, as the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, since the Lord has restrained you from shedding blood, and from avenging yourself by your own hand, now then let your enemies and those who seek evil against my lord, be as Nabal.
 撒上25:27如今求你将婢女送来的礼物、给跟随你的仆人。
 "Now let this gift which your maidservant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who accompany my lord.
 撒上25:28求你饶恕婢女的罪过．耶和华必为我主建立坚固的家、因我主为耶和华争战．并且在你平生的日子、查不出有甚麽过来。
 "Please forgive the transgression of your maidservant; for the Lord will certainly make for my lord an enduring house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the Lord, and evil will not be found in you all your days.
 撒上25:29虽有人起来追逼你、寻索你的性命、你的性命却在耶和华你的　神那里蒙保护、如包裹宝器一样．你仇敌的性命、耶和华必抛去、如用机弦甩石一样。
 "Should anyone rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, then the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with the Lord your God; but the lives of your enemies He will sling out as from the hollow of a sling.
 撒上25:30我主现在若不亲手报仇、流无辜人的血、到了耶和华照所应许你的话赐福与你、立你作以色列的王、那时我主必不至心里不安、觉得良心有亏。耶和华赐福与我主的时候、求你记念婢女。
 "And when the Lord does for my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and appoints you ruler over Israel,
 撒上25:31见上节
 this will not cause grief or a troubled heart to my lord, both by having shed blood without cause and by my lord having avenged himself. When the Lord deals well with my lord, then remember your maidservant."
 撒上25:32大卫对亚比该说、耶和华以色列的　神、是应当称颂的、因为他今日使你来迎接我．
 Then David said to Abigail, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me,
 撒上25:33你和你的见识也当称赞、因为你今日拦阻我亲手报仇、流人的血。
 and blessed be your discernment, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.
 撒上25:34我指著阻止我加害於你的耶和华以色列永生的　神起誓、你若不速速的来迎接我、到明日早晨、凡属拿八的男丁、必定不留一个。
 "Nevertheless, as the Lord God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from harming you, unless you had come quickly to meet me, surely there would not have been left to Nabal until the morning light as much as one male."
 撒上25:35大卫受了亚比该送来的礼物．就对他说、我听了你的话、准了你的情面．你可以平平安安的回家罢。
 So David received from her hand what she had brought him and said to her, "Go up to your house in peace. See, I have listened to you and granted your request."
 撒上25:36亚比该到拿八那里、见他在家里设摆筵席、如同王的筵席．拿八快乐大醉．亚比该无论大小事、都没有告诉他、就等到次日早晨。
 Then Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, 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 did not tell him anything at all until the morning light.
 撒上25:37到了早晨、拿八醒了酒、他的妻将这些事都告诉他、他就魂不附体、身僵如石头一般。
 But in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him so that he became as a stone.
 撒上25:38过了十天、耶和华击打拿八、他就死了。
 About ten days later, the Lord struck Nabal and he died.
 撒上25:39大卫听见拿八死了、就说、应当称颂耶和华、因他伸了拿八羞辱我的冤、又阻止仆人行恶．也使拿八的恶归到拿八的头上。於是大卫打发人去、与亚比该说、要娶他为妻。
 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the Lord, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal and has kept back His servant from evil. The Lord has also returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head." Then David sent a proposal to Abigail, to take her as his wife.
 撒上25:40大卫的仆人到了迦密见亚比该、对他说、大卫打发我们来见你、想要娶你为妻。
 When the servants of David came to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, "David has sent us to you to take you as his wife."
 撒上25:41亚比该就起来、俯伏在地、说、我情愿作婢女、洗我主仆人的脚。
 She arose and bowed with her face to the ground and said, "Behold, your maidservant is a maid to wash the feet of my lord's servants."
 撒上25:42亚比该立刻起身、骑上驴、带著五个使女、跟从大卫的使者去了、就作了大卫的妻。
 Then Abigail quickly arose, and rode on a donkey, with her five maidens who attended her; and she followed the messengers of David and became his wife.
 撒上25:43大卫先娶了耶斯列人亚希暖．他们二人都作了他的妻。
 David had also taken Ahinoam of Jezreel, and they both became his wives.
 撒上25:44扫罗已将他的女儿米甲、就是大卫的妻、给了迦琳人、拉亿的儿子帕提为妻。
 Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was from Gallim.
