2 Samuel 24
1 Again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He stirred up David against them, saying, “Go and take a census of Israel and Judah.”
Ary ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah nirehitra indray tamin’ ny Isiraely, ka dia nanome saina an’ i Davida Izy hanao izay hahatonga loza amin’ ny vahoakany hoe: Mandehana, isao ny Isiraely sy ny Joda.
2 So the king said to Joab the commander of his army, who was with him, “Go now throughout the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba and register the troops, so that I may know their number.”
Dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Joaba, komandin’ ny miaramila, izay teo aminy: Mandehana mitety ny firenen’ isiraely rehetra hatrany Dana ka hatrany Beri-sheba, ary alaminonareo ny vahoaka mba ho fantatro ny isany.
3 But Joab replied to the king, “May the LORD your God multiply the troops a hundred times over, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king want to do such a thing?”
Fa hoy Joaba amin’ ny mpanjaka: Jehovah Andriamanitrao anie hampitombo ny vahoaka ho injato toy izao, na firy na firy izy, ka ho hitan’ ny mason’ ny mpanjaka tompoko izany; fa ahoana no itiavan’ ny mpanjaka tompoko hanao izany zavatra izany?
4 Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders of the army departed from the presence of the king to count the troops of Israel.
Nefa tsy azon’ i Joaba sy ny komandin’ ny miaramila nolavina ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka. Ary Joaba sy ny komandin’ ny miaramila nivoaka avy teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka handamina ny lehilahy amin’ ny Isiraely.
5 They crossed the Jordan and camped near Aroer, south of the town in the middle of the valley, and proceeded toward Gad and Jazer.
Ary nita an’ i Jordana izy ireo ka nitoby tao Aroera eo ankavanan’ ilay tanàna afovoan’ ny lohasahan-driak’ i Gada, dia nankany Jazera.
6 Then they went to Gilead and the land of Tahtim-hodshi, and on to Dan-jaan and around to Sidon.
Dia tonga tany Gileada izy, tany amin’ ny tamin’ i Tatima-hodsy, dia tonga tany Danajana izy, ka nanodidina hatrany Sidona,
7 They went toward the fortress of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and Canaanites. Finally, they went on to the Negev of Judah, to Beersheba.
ary tonga tao Tyro, tanàna mimanda, sy tany amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Hivita sy ny Kananita rehetra, ary dia nankany amin’ ny tany atsimo izay an’ ny Joda hatrany Beri-sheba izy.
8 At the end of nine months and twenty days, having gone through the whole land, they returned to Jerusalem.
Ary nony efa nitety ny tany rehetra izy, dia tonga tany Jeroselama, rehefa afaka sivy volana sy roa-polo andro.
9 And Joab reported to the king the total number of the troops. In Israel there were 800,000 men of valor who drew the sword, and in Judah there were 500,000.
Dia natolotr’ i Joaba ny mpanjaka ny isan’ ny vahoaka voalamina, ka nisy valo hetsy ny lehilahy mahery nahatan-tsabatra tamin’ ny Isiraely, ary dimy hetsy ny lehilahy tamin’ ny Joda.
10 After David had numbered the troops, his conscience was stricken and he said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. Now, O LORD, I beg You to take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.”
Ary ny eritreritr’ i Davida namely azy, rehefa voaisany ny olona. Ka dia hoy Davida tamin’ i Jehovah: Efa nanota indrindra aho tamin’ izao nataoko izao; koa ankehitriny mifona aminao aho, Jehovah ô, esory ny heloky ny mpanomponao, fa efa nanao fahadalana lehibe aho.
11 When David got up in the morning, a revelation from the LORD had come to Gad the prophet, David’s seer:
Ary raha nifoha maraina Davida, dia tonga tamin’ i Gada mpaminany, mpahitan’ i Davida, ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
12 “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.’”
Mandehana, ka lazao amin’ i Davida hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Zavatra telo no apetrako eto anoloanao, koa fidio izay iray hataoko aminao.
13 So Gad went and said to David, “Do you choose to endure three years of famine in your land, three months of fleeing the pursuit of your enemies, or three days of plague upon your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should reply to Him who sent me.”
Ary Gada nankany amin’ i Davida dia nanambara izany taminy ka nanao hoe: Mosary fito taona va no tianao ho tonga aminao eto amin’ ny taninao? Sa handositra telo volana eo anoloan’ ny fahavalonao ianao, fa henjehiny? Sa areti-mandringana hateloana eto amin’ ny taninao? Koa saino sy hevero izay valiny ho entiko miverina any amin’ izay naniraka ahy.
14 David answered Gad, “I am deeply distressed. Please, let us fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men.”
Dia hoy Davida tamin’ i Gada: Indrisy! poritra loatra aho! aleontsika ho azon’ ny tànan’ i Jehovah, fa lehibe ny famindram-pony toy izay ho azon’ izay tànan’ olona.
15 So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel from that morning until the appointed time, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died.
Ka dia nasian’ i Jehovah areti-mandringana ny Isiraely nony maraina ka hatramin’ ilay fotoana; ary dia nahafatesana fito alina ny olona hatrany Dana ka hatrany Beri-sheba.
16 But when the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the LORD relented from the calamity and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand now!” At that time the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Ary naninjitra ny tànany tany Jerosalema Ilay Anjely handringana ny any; fa Jehovah nanenina ny amin’ ny loza ka nanao tamin’ ilay Anjely Izay nandringana ny olona hoe: Aoka izay, atsaharo ny tananao ankehitriny. Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah dia teo amin’ ny famoloan’ i Araona Jebosita.
17 When David saw the angel striking down the people, he said to the LORD, “Surely I, the shepherd, have sinned and acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Please, let Your hand fall upon me and my father’s house.”
Ary nony hitan’ i Davida Ilay Anjely namely ny olona, dia niteny tamin’ i Jehovah izy nanao hoe: Indro, izaho no efa nanota, ary izaho no efa anao ratsy; fa ireo ondry ireo kosa, inona moa no mba nataony? Koa mifona aminao re aho, aoka ny tananao hamely ahy sy ny mpianakavin’ ny raiko.
18 And that day Gad came to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
Ary Gada nankany amin’ i Davida tamin’ izany andro izany ka nanao taminy hoe: Miakara, ka manangàna alitara ho an’ i Jehovah ao amin’ ny famoloan’ i Araona Jebosita.
19 So David went up at the word of Gad, just as the LORD had commanded.
Koa dia niakatra Davida araka ny tenin’ i Gada, araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah.
20 When Araunah looked out and saw the king and his servants coming toward him, he went out and bowed facedown before the king.
Ary Araona nitsirika ka nahita ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanompony manatona azy, dia nivoaka izy ka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka.
21 “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” Araunah said. “To buy your threshing floor,” David replied, “that I may build an altar to the LORD, so that the plague upon the people may be halted.”
Ary hoy Araona: Ahoana no ahatongavan’ ny mpanjaka tompoko atỳ amin’ ny mpanompony? Dia hoy Davida: Hividy ny famoloana aminao mba hanorenako alitara ho an’ i Jehovah hitsaharan’ ny areti-mandringana tsy hamely ny olona intsony.
22 Araunah said to David, “My lord the king may take whatever seems good and offer it up. Here are the oxen for a burnt offering and the threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood.
Fa hoy Araona tamin’ i Davida: Aoka ny mpanjaka tompoko haka izay sitrany ka hanatitra izany. Indreo ny omby ho fanatitra dorana ary ny fivelezam-bary sy ny hazo amin’ ny omby hatao kitay.
23 O king, Araunah gives all these to the king.” He also said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.”
Izany rehetra izany, ry mpanjaka, dia omen’ i Araona ny mpanjaka. Ary hoy Araona tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Jehovah Andriamanitrao anie hankasitraka anao.
24 “No,” replied the king, “I insist on paying a price, for I will not offer to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Araona: Tsia, fa hovidiko aminao mihitsy araka izay tokom-bidiny ireo; fa tsy hanatitra fanatitra dora na ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro amin’ izay azoko fotsiny aho. Ka dia novidin’ i Davida sekely volafotsy dimam-polo ny famoloana sy ny omby.
25 And there he built an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Then the LORD answered the prayers on behalf of the land, and the plague upon Israel was halted.
Ary Davida nanao alitara teo ho an’ i Jehovah ka nanatitra fanatitra dorana sy fanati-pihavanana. Ka dia neken’ i Jehovah ny fifonana natao ho an’ ny tany, ka nitsahatra tsy namely ny Isiraely intsony ilay areti-mandringana.
