< 2 Samuel 24 >

1 And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go number Israel and Judah.
Yon jou, Seyè a move sou pèp Izrayèl la ankò. Li fè David lakòz malè tonbe sou yo. Seyè a di David al konte konbe moun ki nan peyi Izrayèl ak nan peyi Jida.
2 For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, who [was] with him, Go now through 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.
Wa a pale ak Joab, kòmandman an chèf lame a, ki te la avè l', li di l' konsa: -Ale nan tout branch fanmi Izrayèl yo, depi lavil Dann nan nò jouk lavil Bètcheba nan sid. Konte mezi moun ki nan pèp la. Mwen vle konnen konbe moun ki gen nan peyi a.
3 And Joab said to the king, Now the LORD thy God add to the people, how many soever they may be, a hundred-fold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see [it]: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
Men, Joab di wa a: -Monwa, mwen mande Seyè a, Bondye ou la, pou li fè pèp Izrayèl la vin san fwa pi plis pase jan li ye koulye a, lèfini pou monwa ka viv lontan pou wè sa! Men, poukisa, monwa, ou vle konte konbe moun ki nan peyi a?
4 Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
Men, wa a pa t' soti pou li chanje lòd li te bay la. Konsa, Joab ak lòt gwo chèf lame yo te blije soumèt yo. Yo soti devan wa a, yo pati, y' al konte konbe moun ki nan peyi Izrayèl la.
5 And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that [lieth] in the midst of the river of Gad, and towards Jazer:
Yo travèse larivyè Jouden, y' al moute kan yo lavil Awoyè, nan mitan fon an, nan pòsyon tè ki pou branch fanmi Gad la. Apre sa, yo pati pou Jazè bò nan nò.
6 Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and about to Zidon,
Y' al lavil Galarad, yo pase lavil Kadès nan pòsyon tè ki pou moun Et yo, jouk yo rive Dann. Yo mache nan tout zòn lan, apre sa y' ale lavil Sidon sou bò lwès.
7 And 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, [even] to Beer-sheba.
Lèfini, yo desann nan direksyon sid, yo rive nan Fò Tir la, yo pase nan tout bouk moun Iva yo ak bouk moun Kanaran yo, yo rive Bècheba nan zòn Negèv nan peyi Jida a.
8 So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
Se konsa yo mache nan tout peyi a. Apre nèf mwa ven jou, yo tounen lavil Jerizalèm.
9 And Joab presented the sum of the number of the people to 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.
Joab renmèt wa a rapò ki bay kantite moun antou ki te gen nan tout peyi a. Se konsa yo te jwenn witsanmil (800.000) gason ki ka fè lagè epi ki konn sèvi ak nepe nan peyi Izrayèl la ak senksanmil (500.000) nan peyi Jida a.
10 And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said to the LORD, I have sinned greatly in what I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
Lè David fin fè konte konbe moun ki gen nan peyi a, konsyans li konmanse repwoche l'. Li di Seyè a: -Lè m' fè sa m' fè a, mwen fè yon gwo peche. Tanpri, Seyè, padonnen m', se sèvitè ou mwen ye. Mwen te aji tankou moun fou.
11 For when David had risen in the morning, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
Nan denmen maten, antan David ap leve sot nan kabann li,
12 Go and say to David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three [things]; choose thee one of them, that I may [do it] to thee.
Seyè a pale ak pwofèt Gad, konseye David la, li di l' konsa: -Al di David mwen ba li twa chatiman pou li menm li chwazi yonn ladan yo. Sa l'a chwazi a se sa m'a fè l'.
13 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, Shall seven years of famine come upon thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thy enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? Now consider, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
Gad vin jwenn li lakay li. Li fè l' konnen mesaj Seyè a te ba li a. Li di l' konsa: -Kisa ou vle? Sèt lanne grangou nan tout peyi a, twa mwa ap kouri devan lènmi ou, osinon twa jou epidemi nan tout peyi a. Al kalkile sou sa pou ou fè m' konnen ki repons pou m' pote bay moun ki voye m' lan.
14 And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies [are] great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
David reponn: -Mwen nan gwo tèt chaje! Men, m' pa vle tonbe anba men lèzòm menm! Pito se Seyè a menm ki pini m', paske li gen bon kè.
15 So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.
Se konsa Seyè a voye yon epidemi sou pèp Izrayèl la, li konmanse menm jou maten sa a pou twa jou, jan l' te di a. Depi lavil Dann nan nò rive lavil Bètcheba nan sid peyi a, swasanndimil (70.000) moun nan pèp Izrayèl la mouri.
16 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thy hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing-place of Araunah the Jebusite.
Lè zanj Seyè a te prèt pou lonje men l' sou lavil Jerizalèm pou detwi l', Seyè a fè lide sispann chatiman an. Li di zanj ki t'ap touye moun yo: -Sispann! kenbe men ou! Lè sa a, zanj lan te gen tan toupre gwo glasi Araounak, moun lavil Jebis la.
17 And David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.
David wè zanj lan ki t'ap touye moun yo, li pale ak Seyè a, li di l' konsa: -Se mwen menm ki koupab. Se mwen menm ki fè sa ki mal la. Kisa inonsan sa yo fè? Tanpri, se mwen menm ansanm ak fanmi mwen pou ou ta pini!
18 And Gad came that day to David, and said to him, Go up, rear an altar to the LORD in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Men, jou sa a pwofèt Gad al jwenn David, li di l' konsa: -Moute lakay Araounak, moun lavil Jebis la, bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a nan mitan gwo glasi a.
19 And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.
David koute sa Gad te di l' la, li moute lakay Araounak jan Seyè a te ba li lòd la.
20 And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming towards him: And Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.
Araounak t'ap gade, li wè wa a ki t'ap vin sou li ansanm ak chèf li yo. Li tonbe ajenou devan wa a, li bese tèt li jouk atè.
21 And Araunah said, Why is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
Li di l' konsa: -Monwa, sa ki mennen ou isit lakay mwen? David reponn li: -Mwen vin achte anplasman glasi a pou m' bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a, konsa epidemi an va sispann nan peyi a.
22 And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what [seemeth] good to him: behold, [here are] oxen for burnt-sacrifice, and threshing-instruments and [other] instruments of the oxen for wood.
Araounak di l' konsa: -Monwa, ou mèt pran l'. Ofri Seyè a sa ou vle. Men bèf sa yo pou ou boule nèt tankou yon ofrann sou lotèl la. Men jouk yo ak bwa kabwa yo pou fè dife.
23 All these [things] did Araunah, [as] a king, give to the king. And Araunah said to the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.
Araounak bay wa a tout bagay sa yo. Lèfini, li di: -Mwen mande Bondye pou l' asepte ofrann ou an!
24 And the king said to Araunah, No; but I will surely buy [it] of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt-offerings to the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
Men wa a reponn li, li di l': -Non. Se achte m'ap achte. Se pou m' peye pou yo. Mwen p'ap pran anyen ki pa koute m' lajan pou m' ofri pou boule nèt pou Seyè a. Se konsa, David achte anplasman glasi a ansanm ak tout bèf yo pou senkant pyès ajan.
25 And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
Lèfini, li bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a, li fè ofrann pou boule nèt pou Bondye ak ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi. Seyè a tande lapriyè yo pou peyi a. Epidemi an sispann nan peyi Izrayèl la.
