וְלֹ֣א תִהְיֶ֣ה זֹ֣את ׀ לְךָ֡ לְפוּקָה֩ וּלְמִכְשׁ֨וֹל לֵ֜ב לַאדֹנִ֗י וְלִשְׁפָּךְ־דָּם֙ חִנָּ֔ם וּלְהוֹשִׁ֥יעַ אֲדֹנִ֖י ל֑וֹ & לַֽאדֹנִ֔י
and=not be this(f) to/for=yourself(m) of,grief and,for,troubled_of conscience for,lord_of,my and,by,shed blood without_cause and,for,avenged my=master to=him/it & with,lord_of,my
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [then, because you, my master, will not have tried to save yourself by pouring out blood without cause, this will not be an obstacle for you or a stumbling block of heart for you, my master]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
לְךָ֡ לְפוּקָה֩ וּלְמִכְשׁ֨וֹל לֵ֜ב לַאדֹנִ֗י & אֲדֹנִ֖י
to/for=yourself(m) of,grief and,for,troubled_of conscience for,lord_of,my & my=master
The terms obstacle and stumbling block of heart mean similar things. Abigail is using them together to emphasize how serious this would be. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [anything that will make your heart trip and fall, my master]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לְךָ֡ לְפוּקָה֩ וּלְמִכְשׁ֨וֹל לֵ֜ב לַאדֹנִ֗י & אֲדֹנִ֖י
to/for=yourself(m) of,grief and,for,troubled_of conscience for,lord_of,my & my=master
Abigail is speaking of future regret as if it were something physical that could make a person stumble and fall and of David’s heart as if it were such a person. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a source of deep grief for you, my master]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְלִשְׁפָּךְ־דָּם֙ חִנָּ֔ם
and,by,shed blood without_cause
Abigail is using the expression pouring out of blood by association to mean killing, since blood pours out of people when they are killed violently. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [because you would have killed many people without cause]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְזָכַרְתָּ֖ אֶת־אֲמָתֶֽךָ
and,remember DOM servant_of,your
Abigail is using herself by association to mean the advice she has given. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and you will remember the good advice that I, your maidservant, have given you]
25:1-44 This episode about Nabal falls between two accounts in which Saul pursued David and David spared Saul’s life. Nabal was similar to Saul.

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.
