2 Samuel 24
1 And again was the anger of the Lord kindled against Israel, and he incited David against them to say, Go, number 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 And the king said to Joab the captain of the army, who was with him, Traverse, I pray thee, all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba', and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.
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 Then said Joab unto the king, Now may the Lord thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, a hundred-fold more, and may the eyes of my Lord the king see it; but why doth my Lord the king find delight in this thing?
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 Nevertheless the king's word remained firm against Joab, and against the captains of the army: and Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king, to number 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 And they passed over the Jordan, and encamped in 'Aro'er, on the right side of the city that lieth in the midst of the valley of Gad, and toward Ya'zer:
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 came to Gil'ad, and to the land of Tachtimchodshi; and they came to Dan-ya'an, and about to Zidon;
Longwa kuna, balekaki na etuka ya Galadi mpe ya Tayitimi-Odishi kino bakomaki na Dani Yaani mpe zingazinga ya Sidoni.
7 And they came to the strong-hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites; and they went out to the south of Judah, up to Beer-sheba'.
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 And so they traversed all the land, and they came at the end of nine months and twenty days to Jerusalem.
Boye batambolaki mboka mobimba, mpe bazongaki na Yelusalemi sima na basanza libwa mpe mikolo tuku mibale.
9 And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
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 And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the Lord, I have sinned greatly in what I have done; and now, I beseech thee, O Lord, cause the iniquity of thy servant to pass away; for I have acted very foolishly.
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 And when David was arisen in the morning, The word of the Lord came unto Gad the prophet, 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 speak unto David, Thus hath said the Lord, Three things do I offer thee: choose for thyself one of them, and I will do it unto thee.
— 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 came to David, and told it unto him; and he said unto him, Shall there come unto thee seven years of famine in thy land? or three months, that thou flee before thy enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be for three days a pestilence in thy land? now consider and see what word I shall bring back to him that hath 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 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall then into the hand of the Lord, —for his mercies are great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.
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 And the Lord sent a pestilence in Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba' seventy thousand men.
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 And when the angel stretched out his hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord bethought himself of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed among the people, It is enough: now stay thy hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the threshingfloor of Aravnah 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 And David spoke unto the Lord when he saw the angel that smote among the people, and said, Lo, I have indeed sinned, and I have truly done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.
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 And Gad came to David on that day, and said unto him, Go up, erect an altar unto the Lord on the threshing-floor of Aravnah 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 And David went up, according to the word of Gad, as the Lord had commanded.
Davidi akendeki kuna kolanda liloba oyo Gadi alobaki na Kombo na Yawe.
20 And Aravnah looked up, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Aravnah went out, and bowed himself 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 And Aravnah said, Wherefore is my Lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy from thee the threshingfloor, to build an altar unto the Lord, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
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 And Aravnah said unto David, Let my Lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good in his eyes: behold, the oxen are here for burnt-offerings, and the threshing rollers and the harness of the oxen for wood.
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 All these things did Aravnah, [for] the king, give unto the king. And Aravnah said unto the king, May the Lord thy God receive thee favorably.
Oh mokonzi, napesi yo nyonso! Orina alobaki lisusu na mokonzi: — Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ayamba malamu bambeka na yo!
24 And the king said unto Aravnah, No; but I will surely buy it from thee at the value; for I will not offer burnt-offerings unto the Lord my God without paying therefor. So 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 And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings: and the Lord was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
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.
