1 Samueli anamwalira, ndipo Aisraeli onse anasonkhana kudzalira maliro ake ndipo anamuyika mʼmanda ku mudzi kwawo ku Rama.
Ndipo Davide anapita ku chipululu cha Parani. 2 Kunali munthu wina wolemera kwambiri ku Maoni amene malo ake a ntchito anali ku Karimeli. Iyeyu anali ndi mbuzi 1,000 ndi nkhosa 3,000. 3 Dzina lake linali Nabala ndipo anali wa fuko la Kalebe. Dzina la mkazi wake linali Abigayeli. Anali mkazi wanzeru ndi wokongola, koma mwamuna wake, wa banja la Kalebe, anali wowuma mtima ndi wamwano pa zochita zake.
4 Davide anamva akanali ku chipululu kuti Nabala akumeta nkhosa. 5 Choncho anatuma anyamata khumi nawawuza kuti, “Pitani kwa Nabala ku Karimeli ndipo mukamulonjere mʼdzina langa. 6 Mukamuwuze kuti, ‘Mtendere ukhale ndi inu, banja lanu pamodzi ndi zonse zimene muli nazo.
7 “ ‘Tsono ndamva kuti muli ndi anthu ometa nkhosa. Pamene abusa anu anali nafe kuno, sitinawachite china chilichonse choyipa, ndipo sanasowe kanthu pa nthawi yonse imene anali ku Karimeli. 8 Muwafunse antchito anu ndipo akuwuzani. Kotero akomereni mtima anyamata anga, pakuti tabwera pa nthawi yachikondwerero. Chonde apatseniko antchito anuwo ndi mwana wanu Davide chilichonse chimene mungakhale nacho.’ ”
9 Anyamata a Davide aja atafika, anamuwuza Nabala zonse zimene Davide anayankhula. Ndipo anadikira yankho.
10 Nabala anayankha anyamata a Davide kuti, “Kodi Davide ndi ndani? Mwana wa Yese ndi ndani? Masiku ano pali antchito ambiri amene akuthawa kwa mabwana awo. 11 Nditengerenji buledi, madzi ndi nyama zimene ndaphera anthu anga ometa nkhosa ndi kuzipereka kwa anthu amene sindikudziwa kumene achokera?”
12 Choncho anyamata a Davide aja anatembenuka nabwerera. Atafika anafotokozera Davide mawu onse a Nabala. 13 Davide anawuza anthu ake kuti, “Aliyense amangirire lupanga lake!” Choncho aliyense anamangirira lupanga lake. Davidenso anamangirira lupanga lake. Anthu pafupifupi 400 ndiwo anapita ndi Davide, pamene anthu 200 anatsala ndi katundu.
14 Tsono mmodzi mwa antchito anawuza Abigayeli mkazi wa Nabala kuti, “Davide anatumiza amithenga kuchokera ku chipululu kudzalonjera mbuye wathu, koma iye anawalalatira. 15 Komatu anthuwa anatichitira zabwino kwambiri. Sanatizunze, ndipo nthawi yonse imene tinali nawo ku busa sitinasowe kanthu. 16 Ankatitchinjiriza ngati mpanda usiku ndi usana nthawi yonse tinkaweta nkhosa. 17 Tsono onani chimene mungachite, chifukwa zimenezi zingadzetse tsoka pa mbuye wathu pamodzi ndi nyumba yake. Paja mbuye athu aja ndi munthu wa khalidwe loyipa moti palibe amene angathe kuyankhula naye.”
18 Ndipo Abigayeli sanataye nthawi. Iye anatenga malofu a buledi 200, matumba a chikopa awiri a vinyo, nkhosa zisanu zowotcheratu, makilogalamu 17 a tirigu wokazinga, makeke a mphesa zowuma 100, ndiponso makeke a nkhuyu 200, ndipo anazisenzetsa abulu. 19 Kenaka anawuza antchito ake kuti, “Tsogolani, ine ndikutsatirani.” Koma sanawuze mwamuna wake Nabala.
20 Mayi uja atakwera pa bulu wake ndi kufika pa tsinde la phiri, anangoona Davide ndi ankhondo ake akubwera kunali iye. Choncho anakumana nawo. 21 Nthawiyi nʼkuti Davide atanena kuti, “Kani ndinalondera pachabe katundu wa munthu uyu mʼchipululu muja! Ndipotu palibe kanthu nʼkamodzi komwe kake kamene kanasowa. Tsono wandibwezera zoyipa mʼmalo mwa zabwino. 22 Mulungu andilange kwambiri ngati pofika mmawa nditakhale nditasiyako ngakhale munthu mmodzi mwa onse amene ali nawo.”
23 Abigayeli ataona Davide, anatsika pa bulu wake mofulumira ndipo anadzigwetsa pansi pamaso pa Davide. 24 Ali chigonere choncho pa mapazi a Davide anati, “Mbuye wanga, kulakwa kukhale pa ine ndekha. Chonde lolani kuti mdzakazi wanune ndiyankhule nanu, ndipo mumve mawu a ine mdzakazi wanu. 25 Mbuye wanga musasamale za mwamuna wanga Nabala, munthu wa khalidwe loyipa. Iyeyu ali monga dzina lake liliri. Monga dzina lake litanthauza kuti chitsiru, ndiye kuti zake zonse ndi zauchitsiru basi. Koma ine mdzakazi wanu, sindinawaone anthu amene mbuye wanga munawatuma. 26 Tsono mbuye wanga muli apa, ndikulumbira pali Yehova wamoyo amene wakuletsani kuti musakhetse magazi a munthu ndi kulipsira nokha, kuti adani anu amene afuna kukuchitani zoyipa adzakhale ngati Nabala. 27 Choncho, nazi mphatso zimene mdzakazi wanu ndabwera nazo kwa mbuye wanga kuti zipatsidwe kwa anyamata amene muli nawo. 28 Chonde khululukani zolakwa za ine mdzakazi wanu. Ndithu Yehova adzakhazikitsa banja la mbuye wanga mu ufumu, popeza mukumenya nkhondo ya Yehova. Choncho choyipa sichidzapezeka mwa inu masiku onse a moyo wanu. 29 Ngati munthu wina akuwukirani ndi kukulondani, Yehova Mulungu wanu adzateteza moyo wa mbuye wanga monga mmene munthu asungira chuma mʼphukusi, koma moyo wa adani anu adzawutaya kutali monga momwe munthu amaponyera mwala ndi legeni. 30 Yehova adzakuchitirani mbuye wanga zabwino zonse zimene anakulonjezani. Adzakuyikani kukhala wolamulira Aisraeli. 31 Zikadzatero, inu mbuye wanga simudzakhala ndi chikumbumtima choti munakhetsa magazi kapena kulipsira popanda chifukwa. Koma Yehova akadzakuchitirani zabwino zonsezi musadzandiyiwale ine mdzakazi wanu.”
32 Tsono Davide anawuza Abigayeli kuti, “Alemekezeke Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, amene wakutuma iwe lero kuti ukumane nane. 33 Yehova akudalitseni chifukwa cha nzeru zanu pondiletsa lero kuti ndisakhetse magazi ndi kubwezera adani anga ndi manja anga. 34 Kunena zoona, pali Yehova Wamoyo, Mulungu wa Israeli, amene wandiletsa kuti ndisakupwetekeni, mukanapanda kubwera msanga kudzakumana nane, palibe munthu aliyense wamwamuna wa Nabala akanasiyidwa wamoyo pakucha mmawa.”
35 Ndipo Davide analandira kwa mayiyo zimene anamutengera ndipo anati, “Pitani kwanu mu mtendere. Ine ndamva mawu anu ndipo ndavomera zimene mwapempha.”
36 Abigayeli atabwerera kwa Nabala anamupeza ali mʼnyumba akuchita mphwando ngati la mfumu. Iye anali atakondwa kwambiri popeza anali ataledzera kwambiri. Choncho mkazi wakeyo sanamuwuze kalikonse mpaka mmawa kutacha. 37 Tsono mmawa, mowa utamuchoka Nabala, mkazi wake anamuwuza zonse. Pomwepo mtima wake unaleka kugunda ndipo unawuma gwaa ngati mwala. 38 Patapita masiku khumi, Yehova anakantha Nabala ndipo anafa.
39 Pamene Davide anamva kuti Nabala wamwalira, iye anati, “Alemekezeke Yehova, walipsira Nabala chipongwe chimene anandichita ndipo anandiletsa ine mtumiki wake kuti ndisachite choyipa. Yehova wabwezera pamutu pa Nabala choyipa chimene iye anachita.”
Kenaka Davide anatumiza mawu kwa Abigayeli, kumupempha kuti akhale mkazi wake. 40 Anyamata a Davide atafika ku Karimeli anawuza Abigayeli kuti, “Davide watituma kwa iwe kuti tikutenge ukhale mkazi wake.”
41 Abigayeli anagwada nagunditsa nkhope yake pansi ndipo anati, “Ine mdzakazi wa mbuye wanga ndakonzeka kutumikira ngakhale kusambitsa mapazi a anyamata ake.” 42 Motero Abigayeli ananyamuka mofulumira nakwera bulu wake. Tsono iye pamodzi ndi anamwali ake asanu amene ankamutumikira, anatsagana ndi amithenga a Davide aja ndipo anakakhala mkazi wake wa Davide. 43 Davide nʼkuti atakwatiranso Ahinoamu wa ku Yezireeli ndipo onse awiri anali akazi ake. 44 Koma Sauli anali atakwatitsa Mikala, mkazi wa Davide kwa Paliti mwana wa Laisi wa ku Galimu.
