English: Let not my lord, I pray thee, take to heart this pestilent man, for according to his name, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid saw not the servants of my lord whom thou didst send.
Coptic: τενου cε παjοεισ. πjοεισ ονh. αυω τεκψυχη ονh. κατα θε ετμπε πjοεισ καακ ετρεκπωhτ μπεσνοf εβολ. αλλα ετρεκhαρεh ετεκcιj εσουααβ. τενου cε παjοεισ νεκjιjεευ. ευεερ θε νναβαλ. μν νετκωτε νσα hενπεθοου επαjοεισ.
English: And now, my lord, as the Lord lives, and thy soul lives, as the Lord has kept thee from coming against innocent blood, and from executing vengeance for thyself, now therefore let thine enemies, and those that seek evil against my lord, become as Nabal.

English: then this shall not be an abomination and offence to my lord, to have shed innocent blood without cause, and for my lord to have avenged himself: and so may the Lord do good to my lord, and thou shalt remember thine handmaid to do her good.
Coptic: πεjε δαδ ναβικια. jε βαρουχ. ετε παι πε. jε fσμαμαατ νcι πjοεισ πνουτε μπιηλ. παι νταfτννοουτε μποου. ετρεεει εhουν εhραι.

English: But surely as the Lord God of Israel lives, who hindered me this day from doing thee harm, if thou hadst not hasted and come to meet me, then I said, There shall surely not be left to Nabal till the morning one male.
