2 Samuel 24
1 Again the anger of Yahweh was ignited against Israel, and he moved David against them saying, “Go, count 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 The king said to Joab the commander of the army, who was with him, “Go throughout all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and count all the people, so that I may know the total number of men fit for battle.”
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 Joab said to the king, “May Yahweh your God multiply the number of people a hundred times, and may the eyes of my master the king see it take place. But why does my master the king want 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 Nevertheless, the king's word was final against Joab and against the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders went out from the king's presence to count 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 over the Jordan and encamped near Aroer, south of the city in the valley. Then they traveled on through Gad to 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 They came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi, then on to Dan Jaan and around toward Sidon.
Longwa kuna, balekaki na etuka ya Galadi mpe ya Tayitimi-Odishi kino bakomaki na Dani Yaani mpe zingazinga ya Sidoni.
7 They reached the stronghold of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and the Canaanites. Then they went out to the Negev in 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 When they had gone throughout all the land, they came back to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
Boye batambolaki mboka mobimba, mpe bazongaki na Yelusalemi sima na basanza libwa mpe mikolo tuku mibale.
9 Then Joab reported the total of the count of the fighting men to the king. There were in Israel 800,000 brave men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were 500,000 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 Then David's heart afflicted him after he had counted the men. So he said to Yahweh, “I have greatly sinned by doing this. Now, Yahweh, take away your servant's guilt, 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 When David rose up in the morning, the word of Yahweh came 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 say to David: 'This is what Yahweh says: “I am giving you three choices. Choose one of them.”'”
— 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 to David and said to him, “Will three years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months from your enemies while they pursue you? Or will there be three days of plague in your land? Now decide what answer I should return to him 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 Then David said to Gad, “I am in deep trouble. Let us fall into Yahweh's hands rather than into the hand of man, for his merciful actions are very great.”
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 Yahweh sent a plague on Israel from the morning to a fixed time, 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 When the angel reached out with his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, Yahweh changed his mind because of the harm it would cause, and he said to the angel who was destroying people, “Enough! Now draw back your hand.” At that time the angel of Yahweh was standing at 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 Then David spoke to Yahweh when he saw the angel who had attacked the people, and said, “I have sinned, and I have acted perversely. But these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand punish me and my father's family!”
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 Then Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar for Yahweh at 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 up as Gad instructed him to do, as Yahweh had commanded.
Davidi akendeki kuna kolanda liloba oyo Gadi alobaki na Kombo na Yawe.
20 Araunah looked out and saw the king and his servants approaching. So Araunah went out and bowed to 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 Then Araunah said, “Why has my master the king come to me, his servant?” David replied, “To buy your threshing floor, so I can build an altar for Yahweh, so that the plague may be removed 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 Araunah said to David, “Take it as your own, my master the king. Do with it what is good in your sight. Look, here are oxen for the burnt offering and threshing sledges and ox yokes for the 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 this, my king, I, Araunah, will give to you.” Then he said to the king, “May Yahweh your God accept you.”
Oh mokonzi, napesi yo nyonso! Orina alobaki lisusu na mokonzi: — Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ayamba malamu bambeka na yo!
24 The king said to Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it at a price. I will not offer as a burnt offering to Yahweh anything that costs me nothing.” 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 David built an altar for Yahweh there and offered on it burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. So Yahweh answered the prayer on behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was confined.
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.
