< 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.”
Ìbínú Olúwa sì ru sí Israẹli, ó sì ti Dafidi sí wọn, pé, “Lọ ka iye Israẹli àti Juda!”
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.”
Ọba sì wí fún Joabu olórí ogun, tí ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, “Lọ ní ìsinsin yìí sí gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli láti Dani títí dé Beerṣeba, kí ẹ sì ka iye àwọn ènìyàn, kí èmi lè mọ iye àwọn ènìyàn náà!”
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?”
Joabu sì wí fún ọba pé, “Kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ fi kún iye àwọn ènìyàn náà, iyekíye tí ó wù kí wọn jẹ́, ní ọ̀rọ̀ọ̀rún, ojú olúwa mi ọba yóò sì rí i, ṣùgbọ́n èétiṣe tí olúwa mi ọba fi fẹ́ nǹkan yìí?”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ ọba borí ti Joabu, àti ti àwọn olórí ogun. Joabu àti àwọn olórí ogun sì jáde lọ kúrò níwájú ọba, láti lọ ka àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli.
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.
Wọ́n sì kọjá odò Jordani, wọ́n sì pàgọ́ ní Aroeri, ní ìhà apá ọ̀tún ìlú tí ó wà láàrín àfonífojì Gadi, àti sí ìhà Jaseri.
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,
Wọ́n sì wá sí Gileadi, àti sí ilé Tatimi Hodṣi; wọ́n sì wá sí Dani Jaani àti yíkákiri sí Sidoni.
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.
Wọ́n sì wá sí ìlú olódi Tire, àti sí gbogbo ìlú àwọn Hifi, àti ti àwọn ará Kenaani, wọ́n sì jáde lọ síhà gúúsù ti Juda, àní sí Beerṣeba.
8 And having inspected the entire land, after nine months and twenty days, they were present in Jerusalem.
Wọ́n sì la gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà já, wọ́n sì wá sí Jerusalẹmu ní òpin oṣù kẹsànán àti ogúnjọ́.
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.
Joabu sì fi iye tí àwọn ènìyàn náà jásí lé ọba lọ́wọ́. Ó sì jẹ́ ogójì ọ̀kẹ́ ọkùnrin alágbára ní Israẹli, àwọn onídà, àwọn ọkùnrin Juda sì jẹ́ ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n ènìyàn.
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.”
Àyà Dafidi sì gbọgbẹ́ lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ka àwọn ènìyàn náà tán. Dafidi sì wí fún Olúwa pé, “Èmi ṣẹ̀ gidigidi ní èyí tí èmi ṣe, ṣùgbọ́n, èmi bẹ̀ ọ, Olúwa, fi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ jì ní, nítorí pé èmi hùwà aṣiwèrè gidigidi!”
11 And David rose up in the morning, and the word of the Lord went to Gad, the prophet and seer of David, saying:
Dafidi sì dìde ní òwúrọ̀, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ Gadi wòlíì wá, aríran Dafidi wí pé,
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.’”
“Lọ kí o sì wí fún Dafidi pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, èmi fi nǹkan mẹ́ta lọ̀ ọ́; yan ọ̀kan nínú wọn, kí èmi ó sì ṣe é sí ọ.’”
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.”
Gadi sì tọ Dafidi wá, ó sì bi í léèrè pé, “Kí ìyàn ọdún méje ó tọ̀ ọ́ wá ní ilẹ̀ rẹ bí? Tàbí kí ìwọ máa sá ní oṣù mẹ́ta níwájú àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, nígbà tí wọn ó máa lé ọ? Tàbí kí ààrùn ìparun ọjọ́ mẹ́ta ó wá sí ilẹ̀ rẹ? Rò ó nísinsin yìí, kí o sì mọ èsì tí èmi ó mú padà tọ ẹni tí ó rán mi.”
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.”
Dafidi sì wí fún Gadi pé, “Ìyọnu ńlá bá mi. Jẹ́ kí a fi ara wa lé Olúwa ní ọwọ́; nítorí pé àánú rẹ̀ pọ̀; kí ó má sì ṣe fi mí lé ènìyàn ní ọwọ́.”
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.
Olúwa sì rán ààrùn ìparun sí Israẹli láti òwúrọ̀ títí dé àkókò tí a dá, ẹgbẹ̀rún ní ọ̀nà àádọ́rin ènìyàn sì kú nínú àwọn ènìyàn náà láti Dani títí fi dé Beerṣeba.
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.
Nígbà tí angẹli náà sì nawọ́ rẹ̀ sí Jerusalẹmu láti pa á run, Olúwa sì káàánú nítorí ibi náà, ó sì sọ fún angẹli tí ń pa àwọn ènìyàn náà run pé, “Ó tó, dá ọwọ́ rẹ dúró wàyí!” Angẹli Olúwa náà sì wà níbi ìpakà Arauna ará Jebusi.
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.”
Dafidi sì wí fún Olúwa nígbà tí ó rí angẹli tí ń kọlu àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Wò ó, èmi ti ṣẹ̀, èmi sì ti hùwà búburú ṣùgbọ́n àwọn àgùntàn wọ̀nyí, kín ni wọ́n ha ṣe? Jẹ́ kí ọwọ́ rẹ, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, kí ó wà lára mi àti ìdílé baba mi.”
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.”
Gadi sì tọ Dafidi wá ní ọjọ́ náà, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Gòkè, tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan fún Olúwa lórí ilẹ̀ ìpakà Arauna ará Jebusi.”
19 And David ascended in accord with the word of Gad, which the Lord had commanded to him.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Gadi, Dafidi sì gòkè lọ bí Olúwa ti pa á ní àṣẹ.
20 And looking out, Araunah turned his attention to the king and his servants, passing toward him.
Arauna sì wò, ó sì rí ọba àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ń bọ̀ wá lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, Arauna sì jáde, ó sì wólẹ̀ níwájú ọba ó sì dojú rẹ̀ bolẹ̀.
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.”
Arauna sì wí pé, “Nítorí kín ni olúwa mi ọba ṣe tọ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wá?” Dafidi sì dáhùn pé, “Láti ra ibi ìpakà rẹ lọ́wọ́ rẹ, láti tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan fún Olúwa, kí ààrùn ìparun lè dá lára àwọn ènìyàn náà.”
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.”
Arauna sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Jẹ́ kí olúwa mi ọba ó mú èyí tí ó dára lójú rẹ̀, kí o sì fi í rú ẹbọ, wò ó, màlúù nìyìí láti fi ṣe ẹbọ sísun, àti ohun èlò ìpakà, àti ohun èlò mìíràn ti màlúù fún igi.
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.”
Gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni Arauna fi fún ọba, bí ọba.” Arauna sì wí fún ọba pé, “Kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ó gba ọrẹ rẹ.”
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.
Ọba sì wí fún Arauna pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́; ṣùgbọ́n èmi ó rà á ní iye kan lọ́wọ́ rẹ, bí ó ti wù kí ó ṣe; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò fi èyí tí èmi kò náwó fún, rú ẹbọ sísun sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi.” Dafidi sì ra ibi ìpakà náà, àti àwọn màlúù náà ní àádọ́ta ṣékélì fàdákà.
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.
Dafidi sì tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan níbẹ̀ sí Olúwa, ó sì rú ẹbọ sísun àti ti ìlàjà. Olúwa sì gbọ́ ẹ̀bẹ̀ fún ilẹ̀ náà, ààrùn náà sì dá kúrò ní Israẹli.
