(Some words not found in UHB: and=now my=master he/it_lived YHWH and,lives soul,your which/who restrained,you YHWH from,shedding in/on/at/with,bloodshed and,avenging hand,your_own to/for=you(fs) and=now be like,Nabal enemies,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)

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.
