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.”
Yawe asikelaki lisusu bato ya Isalaele mpe atindikaki Davidi na kosala makambo oyo ekomemisa bango ngambo; alobaki na Davidi: « Kende kotanga motango ya bato ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda. »
2 So David told Joab, the army commander, “Go and count the Israelites from Dan to Beersheba, so I can have a total number.”
Boye, mokonzi apesaki mitindo na Joabi, mokonzi ya mampinga, oyo azalaki elongo na ye: — Tambola na mabota nyonso ya Isalaele, longwa na Dani kino na Beri-Sheba, mpe tanga bato mpo ete nayeba motango na bango.
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?”
Kasi Joabi azongiselaki mokonzi: — Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akomisa bato ebele koleka mbala nkama, mpe ete yo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, omona yango na miso na yo! Kasi mpo na nini mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, alingi kosala likambo ya boye?
4 But the king was adamant so Joab and the army commanders left the king and went to census the people of Israel.
Kasi mokonzi atingamaki kaka na mitindo oyo apesaki na Joabi mpe na bakonzi ya mampinga. Boye, balongwaki liboso ya mokonzi mpe bakendeki kotanga bato ya Isalaele.
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.
Bakatisaki Yordani mpe babandaki na kotanga bato ya engumba Aroeri, na sude ya engumba oyo ezali kati na lubwaku. Bakatisaki lisusu etuka ya Gadi na nzela oyo ekenda na Yaezeri.
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.
Longwa kuna, balekaki na etuka ya Galadi mpe ya Tayitimi-Odishi kino bakomaki na Dani Yaani mpe zingazinga ya Sidoni.
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.
Bakendeki na ndako batonga makasi ya Tiri mpe na bingumba nyonso ya bato ya Evi mpe ya Kanana; bongo bakomaki na sude ya etuka ya Yuda, na Beri-Sheba.
8 After traveling throughout the whole country for nine months and twenty days, they returned to Jerusalem.
Boye batambolaki mboka mobimba, mpe bazongaki na Yelusalemi sima na basanza libwa mpe mikolo tuku mibale.
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.
Joabi ayebisaki mokonzi motango ya bato oyo atangaki, bato oyo bakoki kosalela mopanga na bitumba: bato nkoto nkama mwambe kati na Isalaele, mpe nkoto nkama mitano kati na Yuda.
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.”
Sima na Davidi kotanga bato, asosolaki ete amemi ngambo. Bongo Davidi alobaki na Yawe: — Nasali lisumu monene na kotanga bato. Sik’oyo, nabondeli Yo, oh Yawe, limbisa mabe ya mosali na Yo; pamba te nasali makambo lokola moto ya liboma.
11 When David got up in the morning, the Lord had sent a message to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, tango Davidi alamukaki, Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Gadi, mopesi toli ya mokonzi:
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.’”
— Kende koyebisa Davidi: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Nazali kotalisa yo bitumbu misato; pona moko kati na yango mpo ete Ngai nakokisa yango lokola etumbu mpo na yo. › »
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.”
Gadi akendeki koyebisa Davidi makambo oyo Yawe alobaki na ye: — Oponi etumbu nini mpo ete Ngai Yawe nakokisa yango mpo na yo: mibu sambo ya nzala makasi kati na mokili na yo; sanza misato oyo okokima liboso ya banguna na yo, oyo bakolanda yo; to mikolo misato ya bokono oyo ebomaka kati na mokili na yo? Kanisa sik’oyo malamu mpe yebisa ngai eyano oyo ngai nasengeli komema epai na Ye oyo atindi ngai.
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.”
Davidi azongiselaki Gadi: — Nazali na pasi makasi na motema. Eleki malamu mpo na ngai kokweya na maboko ya Yawe, pamba te mawa na Ye ezali solo monene; kasi tika ete nakweya te na maboko ya bato.
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.
Boye, Yawe atindaki kati na Isalaele bokono oyo ebomaka, wuta na tongo kaka wana kino na ngonga oyo akataki; mpe longwa na Dani kino na Beri-Sheba, bato nkoto tuku sambo bakufaki.
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.
Lokola anjelu atandaki loboko na ye na likolo ya Yelusalemi mpo na kobebisa yango, Yawe atalaki mpe ayokaki mawa mpo na pasi wana. Alobaki na anjelu oyo azalaki kobebisa: « Ekoki! Longola loboko na yo! » Nzokande, na tango wana, anjelu na Yawe atelemaki pembeni ya etando ya Orina, moto ya Yebusi, kati na likolo mpe mabele, mpe asimbaki mopanga ezanga ebombelo.
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.”
Wana Davidi atombolaki miso mpe amonaki anjelu na Yawe koboma bato, alobaki na Yawe: « Ngai nde nasalaki masumu, ngai nde nasalaki mbeba; bango, bato ya ekolo na ngai, basali mabe moko te; boye, ebongi nde opesa ngai mpe libota na ngai etumbu! »
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.”
Kaka na mokolo yango, Gadi akendeki epai ya Davidi mpe alobaki na ye: — Kende kotonga etumbelo mpo na Yawe, na etando ya Orina, moto ya Yebusi.
19 So David went and did what the Lord had ordered, as Gad had told him.
Davidi akendeki kuna kolanda liloba oyo Gadi alobaki na Kombo na Yawe.
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.
Tango Orina atalaki mpe amonaki mokonzi elongo na bakalaka na ye koya epai na ye, abimaki mpe agumbamaki liboso ya mokonzi, elongi kino na mabele.
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.
Orina atunaki mokonzi: — Mpo na nini mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, ayei epai ya mosali na ye? Davidi azongisaki: — Nayei kosomba etando oyo mpo ete natonga awa etumbelo mpo na Yawe; na bongo, bokono oyo ezali koboma bato ekosila.
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.
Orina azongiselaki Davidi: — Tika ete mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, akamata na ye lopango yango mpe abonza kuna mbeka oyo amoni ete ezali malamu mpo na Yawe. Tala bangombe ya mibali oyo ekosunga mpo na mbeka ya kotumba, mabaya ya bashario mpe bikangiseli oyo ekosunga mpo na kopelisa moto.
23 Your Majesty, I, Araunah, give it all to the king.” Araunah concluded by saying, “May the Lord your God respond positively to you.”
Oh mokonzi, napesi yo nyonso! Orina alobaki lisusu na mokonzi: — Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ayamba malamu bambeka na yo!
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.
Kasi mokonzi alobaki na Orina: — Te! Nasengeli kaka kosomba yango mpe kopesa yo motuya oyo ekoki na yango; naboyi kobonzela Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, bambeka ya kotumba oyo nazwi na ofele. Boye, Davidi asombaki etando mpe bangombe yango, na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende ya palata, tuku mitano.
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.
Davidi atongaki kuna etumbelo mpo na Yawe mpe abonzaki bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka ya boyokani. Yawe ayokelaki mboka mawa, mpe bokono oyo ezalaki koboma elongwaki na Isalaele.
