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.

Verse 34 is found in chapter 25 of 1 Samuel. Abigail meets David, bows before him, and asks him not to act out of revenge. She recognizes his future reign and affirms that the Lord is establishing a secure house for David. David accepts the correction and blesses God for sending Abigail to stop him. The scene shows that even David, God’s chosen one, needs correction. Divine providence works through a wise woman who prevents the future king from bearing unnecessary guilt.

Wahrlich, so wahr der HERR, der Gott Israels, lebt, der mich verhindert hat, daß ich nicht übel an dir täte: wärst du nicht eilend mir begegnet, so wäre dem Nabal nicht übriggeblieben bis auf diesen lichten Morgen einer, der männlich ist.
Porque, vive Jehová Dios de Israel que me ha defendido de hacerte mal, que si no te hubieras dado priesa en venirme al encuentro, de aquí a mañana no le quedara a Nabal meante a la pared.
¡Vive Jehová, Dios de Israel, que me ha impedido hacerte daño! Si no te hubieras apresurado a venir a mi encuentro, al amanecer no le habría quedado vivo a Nabal ni un solo varón».
Mais l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël, qui m'a empêché de te faire du mal, est vivant! si tu ne t'étais hâtée de venir au-devant de moi, il ne serait resté qui que ce soit à Nabal, d'ici à la lumière du matin.
Certo, come il Signore Iddio d’Israele, che mi ha impedito di farti alcun male, vive, se tu non ti fossi affrettata a venirmi incontro, non sarebbe restato in vita a Nabal, fra qui e domattina, allo schiarir del dì, pure un piccolo fanciullo.
Porque, na verdade, vive o SENHOR Deus de Israel, que me impediu de que te fizesse mal, que se tu não te apressaras, e não me vieras ao encontro, não ficaria a Nabal até a luz da manhã nem mesmo um menino.
我指著阻止我加害於你的耶和華- 以色列 永生的上帝起誓,若不是你很快地來迎接我,到早晨天亮的時候,凡屬 拿八 的男丁,必定一個也不留。」
