1 Chronicles 21
1 Then Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel.
Nitroatse am’ Israele amy zao i mpañinjey nañosike i Davide hañiake Israele.
2 So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, “Go and count the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan and bring me a report, so that I may know their number.”
Le hoe t’i Davide am’ Ioabe naho amo mpiaolo’ ondatio; Akia volilio t’Israele boake Beer-Sevà pake Dane añe; vaho andeso amako ho isako. Fa hoe t’Ioabe:
3 But Joab replied, “May the LORD multiply His troops a hundred times over. My lord the king, are they not all servants of my lord? Why does my lord want to do this? Why should he bring guilt on Israel?”
Ehe te hampitomboe’ Iehovà in-jato ty hamaro’e, f’ie tsy songa mpitoron-talèko hao ry talèko mpanjaka? ino ty paia’ i talèko o raha zao? Ino ty hampanaña’e hakeo Israele?
4 Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab. So Joab departed and traveled throughout Israel, and then he returned to Jerusalem.
Fe naharekets’ Ioabe ty saontsi’ i mpanjakay. Aa le niavotse t’Ioabe, nanitsike Israele vaho nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo.
5 And Joab reported to David the total number of the troops. In all Israel there were 1,100,000 men who drew the sword, including 470,000 in Judah.
Le natolo’ Ioabe amy Davide ty fitonto’ i famoliliañe ondatioy. Aa naho Israele iaby, le rai-tampetrisa-tsi-rai-hetse t’indaty nahafitsoa-pibara vaho am’Iehodà, efats-etse-tsi-fito-ale t’indaty nahafitsoa-pibara.
6 But Joab did not include Levi and Benjamin in the count, because the king’s command was detestable to him.
Fe tsy vinolily am’ iereo t’i Levý naho i Beniamine; amy te nampitorifike Ioabe ty saontsi’ i mpanjakay.
7 This command was also evil in the sight of God; so He struck Israel.
Nihejen’Añahare i raha zay; le linafa’e t’Israele.
8 Then David said to God, “I have sinned greatly because I have done this thing. Now I beg You to take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.”
Le hoe t’i Davide aman’ Añahare: aman-kakeo bey iraho, amy nanoeko i rahay; ehe apoho henaneo i tahim-pitoro’oy; amy te nanao hadagolàñe.
9 And the LORD instructed Gad, David’s seer,
Le nitsara amy Gade, mpitoki’ i Davide, t’Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
10 “Go and tell David that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am offering you three options. Choose one of them, and I will carry it out against you.’”
Akia saontsio amy Davide ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Azotsoko ama’o ty raha telo, ijoboño ty hanoako.
11 So Gad went and said to David, “This is what the LORD says: ‘You must choose
Aa le nimb’ amy Davide mb’eo t’i Gade le nanoe’e ty hoe; Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Joboño ze tea’o,
12 between three years of famine, three months of being swept away before your enemies and overtaken by their swords, or three days of the sword of the LORD—days of plague upon the land, with the angel of the LORD ravaging every part of Israel.’ Now then, decide how I should reply to Him who sent me.”
ke t’ie ho san-kerè telo taoñe, ke ho fafàñe aolon-drafelahi’o telo volañe, ie manjomòts’ azo ty fibaran-drafelahi’o, he ho telo andro am-pibara’ Iehovà, rekets’ angorosy amy taney, ie tsitsife’ ty Anjeli’ Iehovà rotsake ty an-tane’ Israele. Aa le ereñereño henaneo ty vale’e hampoliko amy nañirak’ ahiy.
13 David answered Gad, “I am deeply distressed. Please, let me fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men.”
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Gade, Vata’e dobo iraho; apoho hikorovok’ am-pità’ Iehovà, amy te ra’elahy o fiferenaiña’eo; fa ko ado’o hivarinjonjok’ am-pità’ondaty.
14 So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell dead.
Aa le nirahe’ Iehovà am’ Israele ty angorosy; le ondaty fito-ale ty nitsingoritrìtse.
15 Then God sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem, but as the angel was doing so, the LORD saw it and relented from the calamity, and He said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand now!” At that time the angel of the LORD was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Nampihitrifen’ Añahare am’ Ierosalaime ty anjely handrotsake, aa ie ho nanjevo le najihe’ Iehovà; niferenaiña’e tsy hanao i hankàñey vaho nanoe’e ty hoe i anjely mpandrotsakey, Soa izay, agebaño henaneo ty fità’o. Le nijohañe marine’ ty tanem-pifofoha’ i Ornane nte-Iebosý eo i anjeli’ Iehovày.
16 When David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem, David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell facedown.
Nampiandra fihaino amy zao t’i Davide le nioni’e nijohañe añivo’ ty tane toy naho i likerañey i anjeli’ Iehovày, ie natorakitsi’e ambone’ Ierosalaime eo ty fibara tsinoake am-pità’e. Nibabok’ an-daharañe amy zao t’i Davide naho o androanavi’ Israeleo songa nisikin-gony.
17 And David said to God, “Was it not I who gave the order to count the people? I am the one who has sinned and acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? O LORD my God, please let Your hand fall upon me and my father’s house, but do not let this plague remain upon Your people.”
Le hoe t’i Davide aman’ Añahare, Tsy izaho hao ty nandily ty fañiahañe ondatio? Izaho avao ty nandilatse, nanao i haratiañey; fa o añondry retoañe, ino ty nanoe’ iareo? Ehe te ho amako naho añ’ anjomban-draeko ty fità’o ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, fa tsy am’ondati’oo, hanjamañe iareo.
18 Then the angel of the LORD ordered Gad to tell David to go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Aa le nampisaontsie’ i anjeli’ Iehovày i Gade amy Davide, te hampitroare’ i Davide am’ Iehovà ty kitrely an-tanem-pamofoha’ i Ornane nte-Iebosý eo.
19 So David went up at the word that Gad had spoken in the name of the LORD.
Le nionjomb’eo t’i Davide ty amy nitaroña’ i Gade ami’ty tahina’ Iehovày.
20 Now Ornan was threshing wheat when he turned and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves.
Ie nitolike t’i Ornane le nioni’e i anjeliy, le niharo nietake, ie naho ty ana-dahi’e efatse. Namofoke vare-bolè t’i Ornane henane zay.
21 David came to Ornan, and when Ornan looked out and saw David, he left the threshing floor and bowed facedown before David.
Ie nimb’e Ornane mb’eo t’i Davide, le niandra t’i Ornane, nahaisake i Davide, le niavotse mb’ an-tanem-pamofohañe mb’eo vaho nibokok’ amy Davide, ty lahara’e mb’an-tane.
22 Then David said to Ornan, “Grant me the site of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar to the LORD. Sell it to me for the full price, so that the plague upon the people may be halted.”
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Ornane, Atoloro ahy ty toem-pamofohañe toy hañamboarako kitrely am’Iehovà; atoloro ahy ami’ty vili’e do’e, hampijihetse i angorosiy am’ ondatio.
23 Ornan said to David, “My lord the king may take whatever seems good. Look, I will give the oxen for the burnt offerings, the threshing sledges for the wood, and the wheat for the grain offering—I will give it all.”
Le hoe t’i Ornane amy Davide, Endeso ho azo le hanoa’ i talèko mpanjakay ze soa am-pihaino’e. Ingo atoloko azo o añombeo ho soroñe naho o haraom-pamofohañeo ho hatae vaho o vare-bolèo ho enga mahakama; fonga itolorako.
24 “No,” replied King David, “I insist on paying the full price, for I will not take for the LORD what belongs to you, nor will I offer burnt offerings that cost me nothing.”
Le hoe t’i Davide mpanjaka amy Ornane, Aiy avao! tsy mete tsy vilieko ami’ty vili’e do’e, fa tsy ho rambeseko ho a Iehovà o azoo, ndra hañenga soroñe tsy amam-bily.
25 So David paid Ornan six hundred shekels of gold for the site.
Aa le natolo’ i Davide amy Ornane ho amy toetsey ty sekelem-bolamena enenjato ami’ty lanja’e
26 And there he built an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. He called upon the LORD, who answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.
naho nandranjy kitrely am’ Iehovà eo t’i Davide le nañenga soroñe naho engam-panintsiñañe naho nikanjy Iehovà vaho natoi’e boak’ andikerañe ey, nampidoiñ’ afo ambone’ i kitrely fisoroñañey.
27 Then the LORD spoke to the angel, who put his sword back into its sheath.
Ie linili’ Iehovà i anjeliy le naombe’e an-kotra’e ao i fibara’ey.
28 At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there.
Nioni’ i Davide henane zay te nanoiñe aze an-toem-pamofoha’ i Ornane nte-Iebosý eo t’Iehovà le eo ty nañenga’e soroñe.
29 For the tabernacle of the LORD that Moses had made in the wilderness and the altar of burnt offering were presently at the high place in Gibeon,
Amy te mbe an-toets’ abo’ i Gibone añe ty kivoho’ Iehovà niranjie’ i Mosè am-patrambey añe naho i kitrelim-pisoroñañey henane zay.
30 but David could not go before it to inquire of God, because he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
Fe tsy nete niatrek’ ama’e eo t’i Davide hañontane an’ Andrianañahare fa nampirevendreveñe aze i fibaran’ anjeli’ Iehovày.
