32.大衛對亞比該說:「耶和華以色列的 神是應當稱頌的,因為他今日使你來迎接我。
David said to Abigail, 「Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who has sent you today to meet me.
33.你和你的見識也當稱讚;因為你今日攔阻我親手報仇、流人的血。
May you be blessed for your good judgment and for keeping me from bloodshed this day and from avenging myself with my own hands.
34.我指著阻止我加害於你的耶和華以色列永生的 神起誓,你若不速速地來迎接我,到明日早晨,凡屬拿八的男丁必定不留一個。」
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 would have been left alive by daybreak.」
35.大衛受了亞比該送來的禮物,就對她說:「我聽了你的話,准了你的情面,你可以平平安安地回家吧!」
Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought him and said, 「Go home in peace. I have heard your words and granted your request.」
