King James Version
AFR DVK
1
And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
En Samuel is gesterwe; en die hele Israel is bymekaargekom, en het hom betreur, en hom in sy huis in Rama begrawe. En Dawid het opgestaan, en afgegaan na die wildernis van Paran.
2
And [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.
En daar was ‚'n man in Maon, wie se besittings in Karmel was; en die man was baie groot, en hy het drieduisend skape, en duisend bokke gehad: en hy was besig om sy skape in Karmel te skeer.
3
Now the name of the man [was] Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and [she was] a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man [was] churlish and evil in his doings; and he [was] of the house of Caleb.
Nou was die naam van die man Nabal; en die naam van sy vrou Abigail: en sy was ‚'n vrou van goeie verstand, en van ‚'n pragtige gedaante: maar die man was hard en boos in sy dade; en hy was van die huis van Kaleb.
4
And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.
En Dawid het in die wildernis gehoor dat Nabal sy skape skeer.
5
And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:
En Dawid het tien jongmanne gestuur, en Dawid het tot die jongmanne gesê, Trek op na Karmel, en gaan na Nabal, en groet hom in my naam:
6
And thus shall ye say to him that liveth [in prosperity], Peace [be] both to thee, and peace [be] to thine house, and peace [be] unto all that thou hast.
En so moet julle sê tot hom wat in voorspoed lewe, Vrede vir jou, en vrede vir jou huis, en vrede vir alles wat jy het.
7
And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.
En nou het ek gehoor dat jy skeerders het: nou is die herders wat by jou was, by ons, en ons het hulle nie leed aangedoen nie, en daar het niks van hulle ontbreek nie, al die dae dat hulle in Karmel was.
8
Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.
Vra jou jongmanne, en hulle sal jou vertel. Laat die jongmanne dan genade vind in jou oë: want ons kom op ’n goeie dag: gee, ek bid jou, wat jou hand vind, aan jou dienaars, en aan jou seun Dawid.
9
And when David’s young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
En toe Dawid se jongmanne gekom het, het hulle al hierdie woorde in die naam van Dawid tot Nabal gespreek, en opgehou.
10
And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who [is] David? and who [is] the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.
En Nabal het Dawid se dienaars geantwoord, en gesê, Wie is Dawid? en wie is die seun van Isai? daar is baie dienaars vandag wat elkeen van sy meester afbreek.
11
Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give [it] unto men, whom I know not whence they [be]?
Sal ek dan my brood, en my water, en my vleis neem wat ek vir my skeerders geslag het, en dit aan manne gee, van wie ek nie weet waarvandaan hulle is nie?
12
So David’s young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.
So het Dawid se jongmanne omgedraai op hulle pad, en teruggekeer, en by hom gekom, en hom al hierdie woorde vertel.
13
And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And 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 stuff.
En Dawid het tot sy manne gesê, Gord elkeen sy swaard aan. En hulle het elkeen sy swaard aangegord; en Dawid het ook sy swaard aangegord: en daar het opgetrek agter Dawid aan omtrent vierhonderd man; en tweehonderd het by die goed gebly.
14
But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.
Maar een van die jongmanne het Abigail, Nabal se vrou, vertel, en gesê, Kyk, Dawid het boodskappers uit die wildernis gestuur om ons meester te groet; en hy het hulle beledig.
15
But the men [were] very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:
Maar die manne was baie goed teenoor ons, en ons is nie leed aangedoen nie, en ons het niks gemis nie, solank as ons met hulle omgegaan het, toe ons in die velde was:
16
They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
Hulle was ‚'n muur vir ons beide by nag en by dag, al die dae dat ons by hulle was, en die skape gewei het.
17
Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he [is such] a son of Belial, that [a man] cannot speak to him.
Nou dan, weet en oorweeg wat jy moet doen; want die onheil is vasbeslote teen ons meester, en teen sy hele huis: want hy is so ‚'n seun van Belial, dat ‚'n mens nie met hom kan praat nie.
18
Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched [corn], and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid [them] on asses.
Toe het Abigail haastig gemaak, en tweehonderd brode geneem, en twee sakke wyn, en vyf skape wat gereed gemaak is, en vyf mates geroosterde koring, en ‚'n honderd trosse rosyne, en tweehonderd koeke van vye, en dit op esels gelaai.
19
And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
En sy het tot haar dienaars gesê, Gaan voor my uit; kyk, ek kom agter julle aan. Maar sy het dit nie aan haar man Nabal vertel nie.
20
And it was [so, as] she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.
En dit was so, toe sy op ‚'n esel gery het, en afgekom het by die skuilte van die berg, dat, kyk, Dawid en sy manne afgekom het teen haar; en sy het hulle ontmoet.
21
Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this [fellow] hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that [pertained] unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good.
Nou het Dawid gesê, Sekerlik was dit tevergeefs dat ek alles wat hierdie man in die wildernis het, bewaar het, sodat niks van alles wat aan hom behoort het, ontbreek het nie: en hy het my kwaad vir goed vergeld.
22
So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that [pertain] to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
So mag God aan die vyande van Dawid doen, en meer ook, as ek van alles wat aan hom behoort, tot die môrelig oorlaat enigeen wat teen die muur urineer.
23
And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
En toe Abigail Dawid gesien het, het sy haastig van die esel afgeklim, en op haar aangesig voor Dawid geval, en haarself neergebuig tot die grond,
24
And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, [upon] me [let this] iniquity [be]: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.
En by sy voete geval, en gesê, Op my, my heer, op my laat hierdie ongeregtigheid wees: en laat jou diensmaagd, ek bid jou, in jou ore spreek, en hoor die woorde van jou diensmaagd.
25
Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, [even] Nabal: for as his name [is], so [is] he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
Laat my heer, ek bid jou, nie hierdie man van Belial, selfs Nabal, ter harte neem nie: want soos sy naam is, so is hy; Nabal is sy naam, en dwaasheid is by hom: maar ek jou diensmaagd het nie die jongmanne van my heer gesien wat jy gestuur het nie.
26
Now therefore, my lord, [as] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to [shed] blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
Nou dan, my heer, so waar as die HERE lewe, en so waar as jou siel lewe, aangesien die HERE jou weerhou het om in bloedskuld te kom, en om jouself met jou eie hand te wreek, laat nou jou vyande, en dié wat my heer kwaad soek, soos Nabal wees.
27
And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.
En nou is hierdie seën wat jou diensmaagd na my heer gebring het, laat dit aan die jongmanne gegee word wat my heer volg.
28
I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee [all] thy days.
Ek bid jou, vergewe die oortreding van jou diensmaagd: want die HERE sal sekerlik vir my heer ’n seker huis maak; omdat my heer die oorloë van die HERE voer, en kwaad is nie in jou gevind al jou dae nie.
29
Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, [as out] of the middle of a sling.
Tog het ’n man opgestaan om jou te agtervolg, en om jou siel te soek: maar die siel van my heer sal gebind wees in die bondel van die lewendes by die HERE jou God; en die siele van jou vyande, dié sal Hy uitslinger, soos uit die middel van ’n slingermet.
30
And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;
En dit sal wees, wanneer die HERE aan my heer volgens al die goeie wat Hy aangaande jou gespreek het, gedoen het, en jou as vors oor Israel aangestel het;
31
That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.
Dat dit nie tot ‚'n struikelblok vir jou sal wees nie, of tot ‚'n aanstoot van die hart vir my heer, of dat jy onnodig bloed vergiet het, of dat my heer homself gewreek het: maar wanneer die HERE aan my heer goed doen, dink dan aan jou diensmaagd.
32
And David said to Abigail, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:
En Dawid het tot Abigail gesê, Geseënd is die HERE, die God van Israel, wat jou vandag gestuur het om my te ontmoet:
33
And blessed [be] thy advice, and blessed [be] thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to [shed] blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
En geseënd is jou raad, en geseënd is jy, wat my vandag weerhou het om in bloedskuld te kom, en om myself met my eie hand te wreek.
34
For in very deed, [as] the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
Want inderdaad, so waar as die HERE, die God van Israel, lewe, wat my weerhou het om jou leed aan te doen, as jy nie haastig gekom het om my tegemoet te gaan nie, sou daar sekerlik tot die môrelig aan Nabal nie een oorgebly het wat teen die muur urineer nie.
35
So David received of her hand [that] which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
So het Dawid dan uit haar hand aangeneem wat sy vir hom gebring het, en tot haar gesê, Gaan op in vrede na jou huis; kyk, ek het na jou stem geluister, en jou aangesig aangeneem.
36
And 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: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
En Abigail het by Nabal gekom; en kyk, hy het ’n fees in sy huis gehou, soos die fees van ’n koning; en Nabal se hart was vrolik in hom, want hy was baie dronk: daarom het sy hom niks, min of baie, vertel, totdat die môrelig was.
37
But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became [as] a stone.
Maar dit was so in die môre, toe die wyn uit Nabal uitgegaan het, dat sy vrou hom hierdie dinge vertel het, en sy hart in hom gesterwe het, en hy soos ’n klip geword het.
38
And it came to pass about ten days [after], that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.
En dit was so omtrent tien dae daarna, dat die HERE Nabal getref het, dat hy gesterwe het.
39
And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed [be] the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.
En toe Dawid gehoor het dat Nabal dood is, het hy gesê, Geseënd is die HERE, wat die saak van my smaad uit die hand van Nabal uitgepleit het, en sy dienaar van die boosheid weerhou het: want die HERE het die boosheid van Nabal op sy eie hoof teruggebring. En Dawid het gestuur en met Abigail gespreek, om haar as sy vrou te neem.
40
And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.
En toe die dienaars van Dawid by Abigail in Karmel gekom het, het hulle tot haar gespreek, en gesê, Dawid het ons na jou gestuur, om jou as sy vrou te neem.
41
And she arose, and bowed herself on [her] face to the earth, and said, Behold, [let] thine handmaid [be] a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
En sy het opgestaan, en met haar aangesig na die aarde gebuig, en gesê, Kyk, laat jou diensmaagd ’n diensmaagd wees om die voete van die dienaars van my heer te was.
42
And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
En Abigail het haastig opgestaan, en op ‚'n esel gery, met vyf van haar diensmaagde wat agter haar aangegaan het; en sy het agter die boodskappers van Dawid aangegaan, en sy vrou geword.
43
David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.
Dawid het ook Agínoam van Jisreël geneem; en hulle was altwee sy vroue.
44
But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which [was] of Gallim.
Maar Saul het Mígal sy dogter, Dawid se vrou, aan Palti die seun van Lais, wat van Gallim was, gegee.
