Kings II 24
1 And the Lord caused his anger to burn forth again in Israel, and [Satan] stirred up David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Juda.
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 And the king said to Joab commander of the host, who was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel and Juda, from Dan even to Bersabee, and number the people, and I will know the number of the people.
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 And Joab said to the king, Now may the Lord add to the people a hundred-fold as many as they are, and [may] the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king desire this 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 word of the king prevailed against Joab an the captains of the host: And Joab and the captains of the host went out before the king to number the people 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 And they went over Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right of the city which is in the midst of the valley of Gad and Eliezer.
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 And they came to Galaad, and into the land of Thabason, which is Adasai, and they came to Danidan and Udan, and compassed Sidon.
Dia tonga tany Gileada izy, tany amin’ ny tamin’ i Tatima-hodsy, dia tonga tany Danajana izy, ka nanodidina hatrany Sidona,
7 And they came to Mapsar of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Evite and the Chananite: and they came by the South of Juda to Bersabee.
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 And they compassed the whole land; and they arrived at Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
Ary nony efa nitety ny tany rehetra izy, dia tonga tany Jeroselama, rehefa afaka sivy volana sy roa-polo andro.
9 And Joab gave in the number of the census of the people to the king: and Israel consisted of eight hundred thousand men of might that drew sword; and the men of Juda, five hundred thousand fighting men.
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 And the heart of David smote him after he had numbered the people; and David said to the Lord, I have sinned grievously, O Lord, [in] what I have now done: remove, I pray thee, the iniquity of thy servant, for I have been exceedingly foolish.
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 And David rose early in the morning, and the word of the Lord came to the prophet Gad, the seer, saying, Go, and speak to David, saying,
Ary raha nifoha maraina Davida, dia tonga tamin’ i Gada mpaminany, mpahitan’ i Davida, ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
12 Thus saith the Lord, I bring [one of] three things upon thee: now choose thee one of them, and I will do [it] to thee.
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 And Gad went in to David, and told him, and said to him, Choose [one of these things] to befall thee, whether there shall come upon thee [for] three years famine in thy land; or that thou shouldest flee three months before thine enemies, and they should pursue thee; or that there should be [for] three days mortality in thy land. Now then decide, and see what answer I shall return to him that 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 And David said to Gad, On every side I am much straitened: let me fall now into the hands of the Lord, for his compassions [are] very many; and let me not fall into the hands of man.
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 David chose for himself the mortality: and [they were] the days of wheat-harvest; and the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from morning till noon, and the plague began among the people; and there died of the people from Dan even to Bersabee seventy thousand men.
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 And the angel of the Lord stretched out his hand against Jerusalem to destroy it, and the Lord repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, [It is] enough now, withhold thine hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing-floor of Orna 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 And David spoke to the Lord when he saw the angel smiting the people, and he said, Behold, it is I that have done wrong, but these sheep what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, be upon me, and upon 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 Gad came to David in that day, and said to him, Go up, and set up to the Lord and altar in the threshing-floor of Orna 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 And David went up according to the word of Gad, as the Lord commanded him.
Koa dia niakatra Davida araka ny tenin’ i Gada, araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah.
20 And Orna looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on before him: and Orna went forth, and did obeisance to the king with his face to the earth.
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 And Orna said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? and David said, To buy of thee the threshing-floor, in order to build an altar to the Lord that the plague may be restrained from off the people.
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 And Orna said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer to the Lord that which is good in his eyes: behold, [here are] oxen for a whole-burnt-offering, and the wheels and furniture of the oxen for 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 Orna gave all to the king: and Orna said to the king, The Lord thy God bless thee.
Izany rehetra izany, ry mpanjaka, dia omen’ i Araona ny mpanjaka. Ary hoy Araona tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Jehovah Andriamanitrao anie hankasitraka anao.
24 And the king said to Orna, Nay, but I will surely buy it of thee at a fair price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God a whole-burnt-offering for nothing. So David purchased 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 David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered up whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings: and Solomon made an addition to the altar afterwards, for it was little at first. And the Lord hearkened to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
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.
