< 2 Samuel 24 >
1 And the anger of Jehovah addeth to burn against Israel, and [an adversary] moveth David about them, saying, '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 And the king saith unto Joab, head of the host that [is] with him, 'Go to and fro, I pray thee, through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, and inspect ye the people — and I have known 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 saith unto the king, 'Yea, Jehovah thy God doth add unto the people, as they are, a hundred times, and the eyes of my lord the king are seeing; and my lord the king, why is he desirous of 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 And the word of the king is severe towards Joab, and against the heads of the force, and Joab goeth out, and the heads of the force, [from] before the king to inspect the people, even 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 pass over the Jordan, and encamp in Aroer, on the right of the city that [is] in the midst of the brook of Gad, and unto 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 and they come in to Gilead, and unto the land of Tahtim-Hodshi, and they come in to Dan-Jaan, and round about unto 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 they come in to the fortress of Tyre, and all the cities of the Hivite, and of the Canaanite, and go out unto the south of Judah, 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 And they go to and fro through all the land, and come in at the end of nine months and twenty days to Jerusalem,
Se konsa yo mache nan tout peyi a. Apre nèf mwa ven jou, yo tounen lavil Jerizalèm.
9 and Joab giveth the account of the inspection of the people unto the king, and Israel is eight hundred thousand men of valour, drawing sword, and the men of Judah 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 the heart of David smiteth him, after that he hath numbered the people, and David saith unto Jehovah, 'I have sinned greatly in that which I have done, and now, O Jehovah, cause to pass away, I pray Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant, for I have acted 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 And David riseth in the morning, and the word of Jehovah hath been unto Gad the prophet, seer of David, saying,
Nan denmen maten, antan David ap leve sot nan kabann li,
12 'Go, and thou hast spoken unto David, Thus said Jehovah: Three — I am lifting up for thee, choose thee one of them, and I 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 And Gad cometh in unto David, and declareth to him, and saith to him, 'Do seven years of famine come in to thee in thy land? or three months art thou fleeing before thine adversary — and he pursuing thee? or are three days' pestilence in thy land? now, know and see what word I take back to Him sending 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 saith unto Gad, 'I have great distress, let us fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah, for many [are] His mercies, and into the hand of man let me not fall.'
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 And Jehovah giveth a pestilence on Israel from the morning even unto the time appointed, and there die of the people, from Dan even unto 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 the messenger putteth forth his hand to Jerusalem to destroy it, and Jehovah repenteth concerning the evil, and saith to the messenger who is destroying among the people, 'Enough, now, cease thy hand;' and the messenger of Jehovah was near the threshing-floor 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 speaketh unto Jehovah, when he seeth the messenger who is smiting among the people, and saith, 'Lo, I have sinned, yea, I have done perversely; and these — the flock — what have they done? Let, I pray Thee, Thy hand be on me, and on the house of my father.'
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 cometh in unto David on that day, and saith to him, 'Go up, raise to Jehovah an altar 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 goeth up, according to the word of Gad, as Jehovah commanded.
David koute sa Gad te di l' la, li moute lakay Araounak jan Seyè a te ba li lòd la.
20 And Araunah looketh, and seeth the king and his servants passing over unto him, and Araunah goeth out and boweth himself to the king — his face to the earth.
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 saith, 'Wherefore hath my lord the king come unto his servant?' and David saith, 'To buy from thee the threshing-floor, to build an altar to Jehovah, and the plague is restrained 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 saith unto David, 'Let my lord the king take and cause to ascend that which is good in his eyes; see, the oxen for a burnt-offering, and the threshing instruments, and the 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 the whole hath Araunah given, [as] a king to a king; and Araunah saith unto the king, 'Jehovah thy God doth 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 saith unto Araunah, 'Nay, for I do surely buy from thee for a price, and I do not cause to ascend to Jehovah my God burnt-offerings for nought;' and David buyeth 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 buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and causeth to ascend burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and Jehovah is entreated for the land, and the plague is restrained 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.
