OET (OET-RV) And now, my master, as Yahweh lives and as your spirit lives, it’s Yahweh who’s prevented you from spilling blood and taking his punishment into your own hands. And now may your enemies and anyone who makes plans against my master be like Nabal.

(Some words not found in UHB: and=now my=master he/it_lived YHWH and,lives soul_of,your which/who restrained,you YHWH from,shedding in/on/at/with,bloodshed and,avenging hand_of,your_own to/for=you(fs) and=now be like,Nabal enemies_of,your and,the,seek to/towards my=master harm )
Abigail speaks of David as if he is another person to show that she respects David. Alternate translation: “David … you”
(Occurrence 0) bloodshed
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now my=master he/it_lived YHWH and,lives soul_of,your which/who restrained,you YHWH from,shedding in/on/at/with,bloodshed and,avenging hand_of,your_own to/for=you(fs) and=now be like,Nabal enemies_of,your and,the,seek to/towards my=master harm )
murder
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
(Occurrence 0) avenging yourself with your own hand
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now my=master he/it_lived YHWH and,lives soul_of,your which/who restrained,you YHWH from,shedding in/on/at/with,bloodshed and,avenging hand_of,your_own to/for=you(fs) and=now be like,Nabal enemies_of,your and,the,seek to/towards my=master harm )
The hand is a metonym for what a person does with the hand. Abigail assumes that David should allow Yahweh to take vengeance for him. Alternate translation: “taking vengeance yourself instead of letting Yahweh do it” (See also: figs-explicit)
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
(Occurrence 0) let your enemies … be like Nabal
(Some words not found in UHB: and=now my=master he/it_lived YHWH and,lives soul_of,your which/who restrained,you YHWH from,shedding in/on/at/with,bloodshed and,avenging hand_of,your_own to/for=you(fs) and=now be like,Nabal enemies_of,your and,the,seek to/towards my=master harm )
Abigail speaks as if Yahweh has already punished Nabal. Alternate translation: “I hope that Yahweh will punish your enemies … as he will punish Nabal” (See also: figs-pastforfuture)
25:26 Abigail began and ended (25:31) her plea by declaring that God had kept you from murdering and taking vengeance: David could have killed Nabal (and Saul), but he didn’t.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
