< 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.”
Nisolebotse am’ Israele indraike ty haviñera’ Iehovà, le nampitroboe’e amy nampanoeñe i Davide ty hoe: Akia, volilio ondaty e Israele naho e Iehodào.
2 So David told Joab, the army commander, “Go and count the Israelites from Dan to Beersheba, so I can have a total number.”
Aa le hoe i mpanjakay am’ Ioabe mpifehe’ i valobohòkey, ie mpiama’ey: Akia henaneo, tsitsiho ze hene fifokoa’ Israele boake Dane pake Beere-sevà hamolily ondatio, hahafantarako ty ia’ ondatio.
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?”
Le hoe t’Ioabe amy mpanjakay, Ehe ho tovoña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o in-jato ondatio, ndra t’ie fire-fire; vaho ho oni-pihainon-talèko mpanjaka; fa ino ty ifalean-talèko mpanjaka o raha zao?
4 But the king was adamant so Joab and the army commanders left the king and went to census the people of Israel.
Fe nandrekets’ Ioabe naho o mpiaolo’ i valobohòkeio ty saontsi’ i mpanjakay. Aa le niavotse añatrefa’ i mpanjakay t’Ioabe naho o mpiaolo’ i valobohòkeio, hamolily ondati’ Israeleo.
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.
Nitsake Iordaney iereo vaho nitobe e Aroere ao, ankavana’ i rova añivo’ i vavatane’ i Gade tandrife Iazerey;
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.
le niheo mb’e Gilade, naho mb’ an-tanen-Takime-kodsý, naho nivo­trake e Dane-jaane, naho niary mb’e Tsidone mb’eo,
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.
naho niheo mb’amy rova aman-kijoli’ i Tsorey, naho mb’amo hene rova’ o nte-Kivìo naho o nte-Khanàneo naho nimb’ atimo’ Iehoda mb’e Beere-sevà mb’eo.
8 After traveling throughout the whole country for nine months and twenty days, they returned to Jerusalem.
Aa le nimb’eo mb’eo amy tane iabiy iereo vaho nivo­trake e Ierosalaime ao, ie nahamodo sive volañe mitovoñ’ andro roa-polo.
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.
Natolo’ Ioabe amy mpanjakay i iake namoliliañe do’ey, le valo hetse t’in­daty manjofake, mpitàm-pibara e Israele ao, le lime-hetse ty lahilahi’ Iehoda.
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.”
Aa ie fa nañiake ondatio t’i Davide le namofok’ aze ty arofo’e. Le hoe t’i Davide amy Iehovà; ra’elahy ty hakeoko amy nanoekoy; fe amy zao ry Iehovà, miambane ama’o, apoho ty tahi’ o mpitoro’oo amy hagegeañe nanoekoy.
11 When David got up in the morning, the Lord had sent a message to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
Ie nitroatse maraindray t’i Davide le niheo amy Gade mpitoky, i mpitoki’ i Davidey, ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
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.’”
Akia saontsio Amy Davide: Inao ty tsara’ Iehovà: Hitolorako telo; joboño ty hanoako.
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.”
Aa le nimb’ amy Davide mb’eo t’i Gade le nanoa’e ty hoe: Hivo­traha’ ty san-kerè fito taoñe an-tane’o ao? hera hitriban-day telo volan-drehe añatrefan-drafelahi’o mañoridañe azo? ke ho telo andro an-tane’o ao ty angorosy? Mivetse­vetsea, vaho itsa­koreo ty vale’e habaliko amy nañirak’ ahiy.
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.”
Aa le hoe t’i Davide amy Gade, vata’e ampoheke iraho; hamake hihotrak’ am-pità’ Iehovà tika henaneo; fa ra’elahy ty fifere­naiña’e; le ko anga’o hikorovok’ am-pitá’ ondaty.
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.
Aa le nirahe’ Iehovà am’ Israele mifototse amy maraiñey am-para’ i namantañañey ty angorosy; le fito-ale t’indaty nihomake boake Dane pake Beere-sevà añe.
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.
Aa ie nañity fitañe mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo hamongora’e aze, i anjeliy, le najihe’ Iehovà i hankàñey, vaho nanoe’e ty hoe amy anjely nanjamañe ondatioy, Soa izay, ajihero ty fità’o. Ie amy izay tan-toem-pifofoha’ i Araonà nte-Iebose i anjeli’ Iehovày.
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.”
Le hoe t’i Davide am’ Iehovà, ie nahaoniñe i anjely nampibaibay ondatioy: Toe nanao hakeo iraho, izaho ty nanao i hamengohañey; fa o añondry retoañe, ino ty nanoe’ iereo? Mihalaly ama’o, lonik’ abey te ho amako naho añ’ anjomban-draeko ty fità’o.
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.”
Aa le niheo mb’amy Davide mb’eo amy àndroy t’i Gade, nanao ty hoe ama’e, ampitroaro kitrely an-toem-pifofoha’ i Araonà nte-Iebose eo t’Iehovà.
19 So David went and did what the Lord had ordered, as Gad had told him.
Aa le nionjoñe mb’eo t’i Davide amy tsara’ Iehovà tinaro’ i Gadey.
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.
Ie niandra t’i Araonà le nahaisake i mpanjakay naho o mpitoro’eo nimb’ama’e mb’eo, naho niavotse mb’eo t’i Araonà nibokobokok’ amy mpanjakay, niatre-tane ty lahara’e,
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.
vaho hoe t’i Araona, Akore te nivo­trak’ amy mpitoro’ey ty talèko mpanjaka? Le hoe t’i Davide: Ty hikalo ama’o ty toem-pifofoha’o, handranjia’ay kitrely amy Iehovà, hampijihetse i angorosiy am’ondatio.
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.
Le hoe t’i Araona amy Davide, Ee te ho rambese’ i talèko mpanjakay ze atao’e mahasoa ho enga’e; ingo o añombe hisoroñañeo naho o haraom-pamofohañeo vaho o jokan’ añombeo ho hatae’e.
23 Your Majesty, I, Araunah, give it all to the king.” Araunah concluded by saying, “May the Lord your God respond positively to you.”
Ie iaby zao ty atolo’ i Araona amy mpanjakay. Natovo’ i Araona amy mpanjakay ty hoe, Ee t’ie ho no’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o.
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.
Fe hoe i mpanjakay amy Araona, Aiy; tsy mete tsy hikaloako ami’ ty vili’e. Mbore tsy ho soroñeko am’ Iehovà Andrianañahareko ty tsy amam-bily. Aa le kinalo’ i Davide ami’ty sekele limam-polo i toem-pifofohañey naho o añombeo;
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.
teo ty nandranjia’ i Davide kitrely am’ Iehovà, le nisoroñe engan-koroañe naho engam-panintsiñañe. Izay ty nisolohoañe amy Iehovà i taney, nampijihetse i angorosiy am’Israele.
