< 2 Samuel 24 >

1 The Lord was angry with Israel, and he provoked David against them, saying, “go and take a census of Israel and Judah.”
Simged manen ti pungtot ni Yahweh iti Israel, ken tinignayna ni David a bumusor kadakuada a kunana, “Mapanka ket bilangem ti Israel ken Juda.”
2 So David told Joab, the army commander, “Go and count the Israelites from Dan to Beersheba, so I can have a total number.”
Kinuna ti ari kenni Joab a pangulo dagiti armada, a kaduana, “Mapanka kadagiti amin a tribu ti Israel, manipud Dan agingga idiay Beerseba, ket bilangem amin a tattao, tapno ammok ti pakadagupan a bilang dagiti tattao a mabalin a makigubat.”
3 But Joab replied to the king, “May the Lord multiply his people a hundred times over, Your Majesty, and may you live to see it! But why does Your Majesty want to do this?”
Kinuna ni Joab iti ari, “Paaduen koma ni Yahweh a Diosmo ti bilang dagiti tattao iti mamingasut a daras, ket makita koma ti apok nga ari a mapasamak daytoy. Ngem apay a kayat ti apok nga ari daytoy?”
4 But the king was adamant so Joab and the army commanders left the king and went to census the people of Israel.
Nupay kasta, ti sao ti ari ket saanen a mabaliwan ni Joab ken dagiti pangulo ti armada. Isu a pimmanaw da Joab ken dagiti pangulo ti armada iti sangoanan ti ari tapno bilangenda dagiti tattao ti Israel.
5 They crossed the Jordan and camped on the south side of the town of Aroer, in the middle of the valley, and then continued towards Gad and Jazer.
Binallasiwda ti Jordan ket nagkampoda idiay asideg ti Aroer, iti abagatan ti siudad idiay tanap. Kalpasanna, nagdaliasatda idiay Gad agingga idiay Jazer.
6 Then they went on to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and then continued towards Dan, and from Dan around to Sidon.
Dimtengda idiay Galaad ken idiay daga ti Tatim Hodsi, ket intuloyda a nagdaliasat a nagturong idiay Dan Jaan ket nanglikawda a napan idiay Sidon.
7 After this they went to the fortress of Tyre, and all the towns of the Hivites and Canaanites. They ended up in the Negev of Judah at Beersheba.
Nakadanunda iti nasarikedkedan a paset ti Tiro ken kadagiti amin siudad dagiti Heveo ken dagiti Cananeo. Kalpasanna, rimmuarda idiay Negev a paset ti Juda idiay Beerseba.
8 After traveling throughout the whole country for nine months and twenty days, they returned to Jerusalem.
Idi nasursordan ti entero a daga, nagsublida idiay Jerusalem kalpasan iti siam a bulan ken duapulo nga aldaw.
9 Joab reported to the king the number of people that had been counted. In Israel there were 800,000 fighting men who could use the sword, and in Judah there were 500,000.
Ket impadamag ni Joab iti ari ti kadagupan a bilang dagiti mannakigubat a lallaki. Idiay Israel, adda iti walo gasut a ribu a natutured a lallaki a makabael a mangasot iti kampilan, ken lima gasut a ribu a lallaki iti Juda.
10 Afterwards, David felt really bad for ordering the census. He said to God, “I have committed a terrible sin by doing this. Please take away the guilt of your servant, for I have been very stupid.”
Ket nariribuk ti puso ni David kalpasan a binilangna dagiti lallaki. Isu a kinunana kenni Yahweh, “Nakabasolak iti nadagsen gapu iti panangaramidko iti daytoy. Ngarud, Yahweh, punasem ti basol daytoy adipenmo, gapu ta minamaag unay ti panagtignayko.
11 When David got up in the morning, the Lord had sent a message to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
Idi bimmangon ni David iti agsapa, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Gad a profeta, ti profeta ni David, kunana,
12 “Go and tell David that this is what the Lord says: ‘I'm giving you three options. Choose one of them, and that's what I'll do to you.’”
“Mapanmo ibaga kenni David: 'Kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh: “Ikkanka iti tallo a pagpiliam. Mangpilika iti maysa kadagitoy.”'”
13 So Gad went and told David, “You can choose three years of famine in your land; or three months of running from your enemies while they chase you; or three days of plague in your land. So think about it and decide how I should reply to the One who sent me.”
Isu a napan ni Gad kenni David ket kinunana kenkuana, “Kayatmo kadi nga umay ti panagbisin iti dagam iti tallo a tawen? Wenno tallo a bulan nga itartarayam dagiti kabusormo kabayatan a kamkamatendaka? Wenno adda ti tallo nga aldaw a didigra iti dagam? Ita, manggeddengka no ania a sungbat ti rumbeng nga ibagak iti nangibaon kaniak.”
14 David replied to Gad, “This is an awful situation for me! Please, let the Lord decide my punishment, for he is merciful. Don't let me be punished by people.”
Ket kinuna ni David kenni Gad, “Narikut ti sasaadek. Kadagiti ima lattan ni Yahweh ti pakatnagan tayo a saan ket a kadagiti ima dagiti tattao, gapu ta manangaasi unay isuna.”
15 So the Lord sent a plague on Israel from that morning until the time designated, and seventy thousand people died from Dan to Beersheba.
Isu a nangiyeg ni Yahweh iti didigra iti Israel manipud iti agsapa agingga iti naituding a tiempo, ket pitopulo a ribu a tattao ti natay manipud iti Dan agingga iti Beerseba.
16 But just as the angel was getting ready to destroy Jerusalem, the Lord relented from causing such a disaster and told the destroying angel, “That's enough. You can stop now.” Right then the angel of the Lord was standing beside the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Idi inyunnat ti anghel ti imana iti Jerusalem tapno dadaelenna daytoy, nagbaliw ti panunot ni Yahweh maipapan iti didigra ket kinunana iti anghel a mangdaddadael kadagiti tattao, “Kuston! Itan, ibabam ti imam.” Iti dayta a tiempo, agtaktakder ti anghel ni Yahweh iti pagirikan ni Arauna a Jebuseo.
17 When David saw the angel striking down the people, he said to the Lord, “I'm the one who has sinned; I'm the one who has done wrong. These people are just sheep. What have they done? Punish me and my family instead.”
Ket kinasarita ni David ni Yahweh idi nakitana ti anghel a nangraut kadagiti tattao ket kinunana, “Nakabasolak ken nakaaramidak iti saan a nasayaat. Ngem dagitoy a karnero, ania ti inaramidda? Pangaasim, ta imam koma ti mangdusa kaniak ken iti pamilia ti amak!”
18 On that day Gad went to David and told him, “Go and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
Ket iti dayta nga aldaw, napan ni Gad kenni David ket kinunana kenkuana, “Sumang-atka ket agpatakderka iti altar para kenni Yahweh idiay pagirikan ni Arauna a Jebuseo.”
19 So David went and did what the Lord had ordered, as Gad had told him.
Simang-at ngarud ni David a kas imbaga ni Gad nga aramidenna, kas imbilin ni Yahweh.
20 When Araunah looked up, he saw the king and his officials approaching. So he went out and bowed before the king with his face to the ground.
Timman-aw ni Arauna ket nakitana ti ari ken dagiti adipenna a sumungsungad. Isu a rimmuar ni Arauna ket nagkurno iti sangoanan ti ari a nakadisso ti rupana iti daga.
21 “Why has Your Majesty come to see me, your servant?” Araunah asked. “To buy your threshing floor so I can build an altar to the Lord in order that the plague on the people may be stopped.” David replied.
Ket kinuna ni Arauna, “Apay nga imay kaniak nga adipenna ti apok nga ari?” Insungbat ni David, “Tapno umayko gatangen ti pagirikam, iti kasta ket makaipatakderak iti altar para kenni Yahweh, tapno maikkat ti didigra kadagiti tattao.”
22 “Take it, and Your Majesty can use it to make offerings as you think best,” Araunah told David. “Here are the oxen for burnt offerings, and here are the threshing boards and the yokes for the oxen for firewood.
Kinuna ni Arauna kenni David, “Alaem daytoy a kas kukuam apok nga ari. Aramidem iti daytoy ti ammom a nasayaat iti panagkitam. Kitaem, adtoy dagiti baka para iti daton a mapuoran ken dagiti pagirik ken sangol ti baka a pagsungrod.
23 Your Majesty, I, Araunah, give it all to the king.” Araunah concluded by saying, “May the Lord your God respond positively to you.”
Siak ni Arauna, amin dagitoy apok nga ari ket itedko kenka.” Kalpasanna, kinunana iti ari, “Sapay koma ta awatennaka ni Yahweh a Diosmo.”
24 “No, I insist on paying you for it,” the king replied. “I won't present burnt offerings to the Lord my God that didn't cost me anything.” David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
Kinuna ti ari kenni Arauna, “Saan, ipilitko a gatangek daytoy iti umno a gatad.” Saanak nga agidaton iti kas daton a mapuoran para kenni Yahwen iti aniaman a banag a saanko a naggastusan” Isu a ginatang ni David ti pagirikan ken dagiti baka iti limapulo a siklo ti pirak.
25 David built an altar to the Lord there, and presented burnt offerings and friendship offerings. The Lord answered his prayer for the country, and the plague on Israel was stopped.
Nangipatakder sadiay ni David iti altar para kenni Yahweh ket nagidaton iti rabaw daytoy kadagiti daton a mapuoran ken kadagiti daton a pakilangenlangen. Isu a kinaasian ni Yahweh ti daga ket simardeng ti didigra iti Israel.
