2 Samuel 24
1 And the fury of the Lord was again kindled against Israel, and he stirred up David among them, saying: “Go, number Israel and Judah.”
Alò, kòlè SENYÈ a te brile ankò kont Israël e li te pwovoke David kont yo pou di: “Ale konte moun Israël avèk Juda yo.”
2 And the king said to Joab, the leader of his army, “Travel through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and number the people, so that I may know their number.”
Wa a te di a Joab, chèf lame ki te avèk li a: “Ale, koulye a, atravè tout tribi Israël yo, soti nan Dan jis rive Beer-Schéba e anrejistre pèp la pou m kab konnen nonb de moun yo.”
3 And Joab said to the king: “May the Lord your God increase your people, who are already great in number, and may he again increase them, one hundredfold, in the sight of my lord the king. But what does my lord the king intend for himself by this kind of thing?”
Men Joab te di a wa a: “Alò, ke SENYÈ a ta kapab ajoute san fwa anplis kantite moun ke yo ye a, pandan zye a mèt mwen an, wa a, kab toujou wè. Men poukisa mèt mwen an, wa a, twouve plezi nan bagay sila a?”
4 But the words of the king prevailed over the words of Joab and the leaders of the army. And so Joab and the leaders of the military departed from the face of the king, so that they might number the people of Israel.
Men pawòl a wa a te pran plas kont Joab, e kont chèf lame yo. Pou sa, Joab avèk chèf lame yo te sòti nan prezans wa a pou anrejistre pèp Israël la.
5 And when they had passed across the Jordan, they arrived at Aroer, to the right of the city, which is in the Valley of Gad.
Yo te travèse Jourdain an pou te fè kan Aroër, sou bò dwat vil la ki nan mitan vale Gad la, ak vè Jaezer.
6 And they continued on through Jazer, into Gilead, and to the lower land of Hodsi. And they arrived in the woodlands of Dan. And going around beside Sidon,
Epi yo te vini Galaad, nan peyi Thachthim-Hodschi, yo te rive Danjaan ak kote Sidon an.
7 they passed near the walls of Tyre, and near all the land of the Hivite and the Canaanite. And they went into the south of Judah, to Beersheba.
Epi yo te rive nan fòterès Tyr la, nan tout vil a Evyen yo ak Kananeyen yo; epi yo te sòti nan sid Juda, nan Beer-Schéba.
8 And having inspected the entire land, after nine months and twenty days, they were present in Jerusalem.
Konsa, lè yo te fin pase nan tout peyi a, yo te vini Jérusalem nan fen nèf mwa e ven jou.
9 Then Joab gave the number of the description of the people to the king. And there were found of Israel eight hundred thousand able-bodied men, who might draw the sword; and of Judah, five hundred thousand fighting men.
Epi Joab te bay nimewo anrejistreman pèp la bay wa a. Te gen an Israël, ui-san-mil mesye vanyan ki te kapab rale nepe e mesye nan Juda yo te senk-san-mil.
10 Then the heart of David struck him, after the people were numbered. And David said to the Lord: “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. But I pray that you, O Lord, may take away the iniquity of your servant. For I have acted very foolishly.”
Koulye a, kè David te vin twouble lè li te fin konte pèp la. Konsa, David te di a SENYÈ a: “Mwen te fè gwo peche nan sa mwen te fè a. Men koulye a, O SENYÈ, souple retire inikite a sèvitè Ou a, paske mwen te aji nan foli.”
11 And David rose up in the morning, and the word of the Lord went to Gad, the prophet and seer of David, saying:
Lè David te leve nan maten, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a pwofèt Gad la, vwayan David la, e li te di:
12 “Go, and say to David: ‘Thus says the Lord: I present to you a choice of three things. Choose one of these, whichever you will, so that I may do it to you.’”
“Ale pale avèk David: ‘Konsa SENYÈ a di: “Mwen ap ofri ou twa bagay; chwazi pou ou menm youn nan yo, pou m fè ou.”’”
13 And when Gad had gone to David, he announced it to him, saying: “Either seven years of famine will come to you in your land; or you will flee for three months from your adversaries, and they will pursue you; or there will be a pestilence in your land for three days. Now then, deliberate, and see what word I may respond to him who sent me.”
Konsa, Gad te rive kote David e li te di li: “Èske sèt ane gwo grangou va rive ou nan peyi ou? Oswa èske ou va sove ale pandan twa mwa devan lènmi ou yo pandan y ap kouri dèyè ou? Oswa èske va gen twa jou gwo epidemi nan peyi ou? Alò konsidere e wè ki repons mwen va pote bay Sila ki te voye mwen an.”
14 Then David said to Gad: “I am in great anguish. But it is better that I should fall into the hands of the Lord (for his mercies are many) than into the hands of men.”
Epi David te di a Gad: “Mwen nan gwo pwoblèm. Annou tonbe nan men a SENYÈ a, paske mizerikòd Li gran; men pa kite mwen tonbe nan men a lòm.”
15 And the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel, from the morning until the appointed time. And there died of the people, from Dan to Beersheba, seventy thousand men.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te voye yon epidemi sou Israël jis rive nan maten nan lè chwazi a e swasann-di-mil moun nan pèp la soti Dan jis rive Beer-Schéba te mouri.
16 And when the Angel of the Lord had extended his hand over Jerusalem, so that he might destroy it, the Lord took pity on the affliction. And he said to the Angel who was striking the people: “It is enough. Hold back your hand now.” And the Angel of the Lord was beside the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Lè zanj lan te lonje men li vè Jérusalem pou detwi li, SENYÈ a te repanti de gwo malè a. Li te di a zanj ki te detwi pèp la: “Sa ase! Koulye a, lache men ou!” Epi zanj SENYÈ a te akote glasi a Aravna a, Jebizyen an.
17 And when he had seen the Angel cutting down the people, David said to the Lord: “I am the one who sinned. I have acted iniquitously. These ones who are the sheep, what have they done? I beg you that your hand may be turned against me and against my father’s house.”
Konsa, David te pale a SENYÈ a lè li te wè zanj ki t ap frape pèp la. Li te di: “Gade byen, se mwen ki te peche a, se mwen ki te fè mal la. Men mouton sila yo, kisa yo te fè? Souple, kite men Ou vin kont mwen, ak kont lakay papa m.”
18 Then Gad went to David on that day, and he said, “Ascend and construct an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
Konsa, Gad te rive kote David nan jou sa menm, e li te di li: “Ale monte, bati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a sou glasi Aravna a, Jebizyen an.”
19 And David ascended in accord with the word of Gad, which the Lord had commanded to him.
David te monte pa pawòl a Gad la, jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande a.
20 And looking out, Araunah turned his attention to the king and his servants, passing toward him.
Aravna te gade anba e te wè wa a avèk sèvitè li yo ki t ap travèse bò kote li. Epi Aravna te parèt deyò e li te bese figi li jiska atè devan wa a.
21 And going out, he adored the king, lying prone with his face to the ground, and he said, “What is the reason that my lord the king has come to his servant?” And David said to him, “So as to purchase the threshing floor from you, and to build an altar to the Lord, and to quiet the plague that rages among the people.”
Alò, Aravna te di: “Poukisa mèt mwen, wa a, te vin kote sèvitè li a?” David te reponn: “Pou achte glasi a nan men ou, pou m kab bati yon lotèl bay SENYÈ a, pou epidemi an kab vin sispann sou pèp la.”
22 And Araunah said to David: “May my lord the king offer and accept whatever is pleasing to him. You have oxen for a holocaust, and the cart and the yokes of the oxen to use for wood.”
Aravna te di a David: “Kite mèt mwen an, wa a, pran sa li wè ki bon nan zye li, e ofri li. Gade, men bèf pou ofrann brile a, bwa kabwèt yo avèk jouk bèf yo pou bwa dife a.
23 All these things Araunah gave, as a king to a king. And Araunah said to the king, “May the Lord your God accept your vow.”
Tout bagay, O wa, Aravna ap bay wa a.” Epi Aravna te di a wa a: “Ke SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, kapab kontan avèk ou.”
24 And in response, the king said to him: “It shall not be as you wish. Instead, I will purchase it from you at a price. For I will not offer to the Lord, my God, holocausts that cost nothing.” Therefore, David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
Sepandan, wa a te di a Aravna: “Non, men mwen va, anverite, achte li pou yon pri. Paske mwen p ap ofri ofrann brile bay SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an ki pa koute m anyen.” Konsa, David te achte glasi a avèk bèf yo pou senkant sik ajan.
25 And in that place, David built an altar to the Lord. And he offered holocausts and peace offerings. And the Lord was gracious to the land, and the plague was held back from Israel.
David te bati la yon lotèl bay SENYÈ a e li te ofri ofrann brile yo avèk ofrann lapè yo. Konsa, SENYÈ a te kontan akoz lapriyè pou peyi a, e epidemi an te vin sispann an Israël.
