BIBLIADOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Samuel murió. Todo Israel se congregó para llorarle y lo sepultaron en su heredad, en Ramá. David se levantó y bajó al desierto de Maón.1 And Samuel died, and all Israel was gathered together, and they mourned for him, and buried him in his house in Ramatha. And David rose and went down into the wilderness of Pharan.
2 Había un hombre en Maón que tenía su hacienda en Carmelo. Era un hombre muy rico; poseía 3.000 ovejas y mil cabras. Estaba entonces en Carmelo, esquilando su rebaño.2 Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were in Carmel, and the man was very great: and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and it happened that he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
3 El hombre se llamaba Nabal y su mujer se llamaba Abigaíl; ella era muy prudente y hermosa, pero el hombre era duro y de mala conducta. Era calebita.3 Now the name of the man was Nabal: and the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a prudent and very comely woman, but her husband was churlish, and very bad and ill natured: and he was of the house of Caleb.
4 Supo David en el desierto que Nabal estaba esquilando su rebaño4 And when David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep,
5 y mandó diez muchachos diciéndoles: «Subid a Carmelo y llegad donde Nabal y le saludáis en mi nombre,5 He sent ten young men, and said to them: Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and salute him in my name with peace.
6 y hablad así a mi hermano; Salud para tí, salud para tu casa y salud para todo lo tuyo.6 And you shall say: Peace be to my brethren, and to thee, and peace to thy house, and peace to all that thou hast.
7 He sabido que estás de esquileo; pues bien, tus pastores han estado con nosotros y nunca les hemos molestado ni han echado en falta nada de lo suyo mientras estuvieron en Carmelo.7 I heard that thy shepherds that were with us in the desert were shearing: we never molested them, neither was there ought missing to them of the flock at any time, all the while they were with us in Carmel.
8 Pregunta a tus criados y ellos te lo dirán. Que estos muchachos encuentren, pues gracia a tus ojos, ya que hemos venido en un día de fiesta, y dales lo que tengas a mano para tus siervos y tu hijo David.”»8 Ask thy servants, and they will tell thee. Now therefore let thy servants find favour in thy eyes: for we are come in a good day, whatsoever thy hand shall find give to thy servants, and to thy son David.
9 Llegaron los muchachos de David, dijeron a Nabal todas estas palabras en nombre de David y se quedaron esperando.9 And when David's servants came, they spoke to Nabal all these words in David's name: and then held their peace.
10 Pero Nabal respondió a los servidores de David: «¿Quién es David y quién es el hijo de Jesé? Abundan hoy en día los siervos que andan huídos de sus señores.10 But Nabal answering the servants of David, said: Who is David? and what is the son of Isai? servants are multiplied now a days who flee from their masters.
11 ¿Voy a tomar acaso mi pan y mi vino y las reses que he sacrificado para los esquiladores y se las voy a dar a unos hombres que no sé de dónde son?»11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and the flesh of my cattle, which I have killed for my shearers, and give to men whom I know not whence they are?
12 Los muchachos de David dieron la vuelta y se volvieron por su camino, y en llegando le conmunicaron todas estas palabras.12 So the servants of David went back their way, and returning came and told him all the words that he said.
13 David dijo a sus hombres: «Que cada uno ciña su espada». Todos ciñeron su espada. También David se ciñó su espada. Subieron detrás de David unos cuatrocientos hombres, quedándose doscientos con el bagaje.13 Then David said to his young men: Let every man gird on his sword. And they girded on every man his sword. And David also girded on his sword: and there followed David about four hundred men: and two hundred remained with the baggage.
14 Uno de los servidores avisó a Abigaíl, mujer de Nabal, diciendo: «Mira que David ha enviado mensajeros desde el desierto para saludar a nuestro amo, y se ha lanzado contra ellos.14 But one of the servants told Abigail the wife of Nabal, saying: Behold David sent messengers out of the wilderness, to salute our master: and he rejected them.
15 Sin embargo, esos hombres han sido muy buenos con nosotros, y nada echamos en falta mientras anduvimos con ellos, cuando estábamos en el campo.15 These men were very good to us, and gave us no trouble: neither did we ever lose any thing all the time that we conversed with them in the desert.
16 Fueron nuestra defensa noche y día todo el tiempo que estuvimos con ellos guardando el ganado.16 They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
17 Date cuenta y mira lo que debes hacer, porque ya está decretada la ruina de nuestro amo y de toda la casa, y es un necio al que nada se puede decir.17 Wherefore consider, and think what thou hast to do: for evil is determined against thy husband, and against thy house, and he is a son of Belial, so that no man can speak to him.
18 Tomó Abigaíl a toda prisa doscientos panes y dos ordres de vino, cinco carneros ya preparados, cinco arrobas de trigo tostado, cien racimos de uvas pasas y doscientos panes de higos secos, y lo cargó sobre unos asnos,18 Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of dry figs, and laid them upon asses:
19 diciendo a sus servidores: «Pasad delante de mí, que yo os sigo». Pero nada dijo a su marido Nabal.19 And she said to her servants: Go before me: behold I will follow after you: but she told not her husband Nabal.
20 Cuando bajaba ella, montada en el asno, por lo cubierto de la montaña, David y sus hombres bajaban en dirección contraria y se tropezó con ellos.20 And when she had gotten upon an ass, and was coming down to the foot of the mountain, David and his men came down over against her, and she met them.
21 David se decía: «Muy en vano he guardado en el desierto todo lo de este hombre para que nada de lo suyo le faltase, pues me devuelve mal por bien.21 And David said: Truly in vain have I kept all that belonged to this man in the wilderness, and nothing was lost of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good.
22 Esto haga Dios a David y esto otro añada si para el alba dejo con vida ni un solo varón de los de Nabal».22 May God do so and so, and add more to the foes of David, if I leave of all that belong to him till the morning, any that pisseth against the wall.
23 Apenas vio a David, se apresuró Abigaíl a bajar del asno y cayendo ante David se postró en tierra, y23 And when Abigail saw David she made haste and lighted off the ass, and fell before David, on her face, and adored upon the ground.
24 arrojándose a sus pies le dijo: «Caiga sobre mí la falta, señor. Deja que tu sierva hable a tus oídos y eschucha las palabras de tu sierva.24 And she fell at his feet, and said: Upon me let this iniquity be, my lord: let thy handmaid speak, I beseech thee, in thy ears: and hear the words of thy servant.
25 No haga caso mi señor de este necio de Nabal; porque le va bien el nombre: necio se llama y la necedad está con él; yo, tu sierva, no vi a los siervos que mi señor había enviado.25 Let not my lord the king, I pray, regard this naughty man Nabal: for according to his name, he is a fool, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid did not see thy servants, my lord, whom thou sentest.
26 Ahora, mi señor, por Yahveh y por tu vida, por Yahveh que te ha impedido derramar sangre y tomarte la justicia por tu propia mano, que sean como Nabal tus enemigos y los que buscan la ruina de mi señor.26 Now therefore, my lord, the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, who hath withholden thee from coming to blood, and hath saved thy hand to thee: and now let thy enemies be as Nabal, and all they that seek evil to my lord.
27 Cuanto a este presente que tu sierva ha hecho traer para mi señor, que sea entregado a los muchachos que marchan en pos de mi señor.27 Wherefore receive this blessing, which thy handmaid hath brought to thee, my lord: and give it to the young men that follow thee, my lord.
28 Perdona, por favor, la falta de tu sierva, ya que ciertamente hará Yahveh una casa permanente a mi señor, pues mi señor combate las batallas de Yahveh y no vendrá mal sobre ti en toda tu vida.28 Forgive the iniquity of thy handmaid: for the Lord will surely make for my lord a faithful house, because thou, my lord, fightest the battles of the Lord: let not evil therefore be found in thee all the days of thy life.
29 Y aunque se alza un hombre para perseguirte y buscar tu vida, la vida de mi señor está encerrada en la bolsa de la vida, al lado de Yahveh tu Dios, mientras que la vida de los enemigos de mi señor la volteará en el hueco de la honda.29 For if a man at any time shall rise, and persecute thee, and seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be kept, as in the bundle of the living, with the Lord thy God: but the souls of thy enemies shall be whirled, as with the violence and whirling of a sling.
30 Cuando haga Yahveh a mi señor todo el bien que te ha prometido y te haya establecido como caudillo de Israel,30 And when the Lord shall have done to thee, my lord, all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have made thee prince over Israel,
31 que no haya turbación ni remordimiento en el corazón de mi señor por haber derramado sangre inocente y haberse tomado mi señor la justicia por su mano; y cuando Yahveh haya favorecido a mi señor. acuérdase de tu sierva».31 This shall not be an occasion of grief to thee, and a scruple of heart to my lord, that thou hast shed innocent blood, or hast revenged thyself: and when the Lord shall have done well by my lord, thou shalt remember thy handmaid.
32 David dijo a Abigaíl: «Bendito sea Yahveh, Dios de Israel, que te ha enviado hoy a mi encuentro.32 And David said to Abigail: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me, and blessed be thy speech:
33 Bendita sea tu prudencia y bendita tú misma que me has impedido derramar sangre y tomarme la justicia por mi mano.33 And blessed be thou, who hast kept me to day, from coming to blood, and revenging me with my own hand.
34 Pero con todo, vive Yahveh, Dios de Israel, que me ha impedido hacerte mal, que de no haberte apresurado a venir a mi encuentro, no le hubiera quedado a Nabal, al romper el alba, ni un solo varón».34 Otherwise as the Lord liveth the God of Israel, who hath withholden me from doing thee any evil: if thou hadst not quickly come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
35 Tomó David de mano de ella lo que le traía y le dijo: «Sube en paz a tu casa; mira, he escuchado tu voz y he accedido a tu petición».35 And David received at her hand all that she had brought him, and said to her: Go in peace into thy house, behold I have heard thy voice, and have honoured thy face.
36 Cuando Abigaíl llegó donde Nabal, estaba celebrando en su casa un banquete regio; estaba alegre su corazón y completamente borracho. No le dijo una palabra, ni grande ni pequeña, hasta el lucir del día.36 And Abigail came to Nabal: and behold he had a feast in his house, like the feast of a king, and Nabal's heart was merry: for he was very drunk: and she told him nothing less or more until morning.
37 Pero a la mañana, cuando se le pasó el vino a Nabal, le contó su mujer lo sucedido; el corazón se le murió en el pecho y se le quedó como una piedra.37 But early in the morning when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife told him these words, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
38 Al cabo de unos diez días hirió Yahveh a Nabal y murió.38 And after ten days had passed, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
39 Oyó David que Nabal había muerto y dijo: «Bendito sea Yahveh que ha defendido mi causa contra la injuria de Nabal y ha preservado a su siervo de hacer mal. Yahveh ha hecho caer la maldad de Nabal sobre su cabeza». Envió David mensajeros para proponer a Abigaíl que fuera su mujer.39 And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: Blessed be the Lord, who hath judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil, and the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his head. The n David sent and treated with Abigail, that he might take her to himself for a wife.
40 Llegaron los mensajeros de David a casa de Abigaíl en Carmelo y le hablaron diciendo: «David nos envía a ti para tomarte por mujer».40 And David's servants came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying: David hath sent us to thee, to take thee to himself for a wife.
41 Se levantó ella y se postró rostro en tierra diciendo: «Tu sierva es una esclava para lavar los pies de los siervos de mi señor».41 And she arose and bowed herself down with her face to the earth, and said: Behold, let thy servant be a handmaid, to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
42 Se levantó Abigaíl apresuradamente, montó en su asno y, seguida de cinco de sus siervas, se fue tras los enviados de David y fue su mujer.42 And Abigail arose, and made haste, and got upon an ass, and five damsels went with her, her waiting maids, and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.
43 David había tomado también por mujer a Ajinoam de Yizreel y las dos fueron mujeres suyas.43 Moreover David took also Achinoam of Jezrahel: and they were both of them his wives.
44 Saúl había dado su hija Mikal, mujer de David, a Paltí, hijo de Layis, de Gallim.44 But Saul gave Michol his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti, the son of Lais, who was of Gallium.
