Samuel 2 24
1 Yehowa gado dziku ɖe Israel ŋu eye wòna be David tso ɖe wo ŋu gblɔ na wo be, “Miyi miaxlẽ ame siwo le Israel kple Yuda.”
And the strong veniaunce of the Lord addide to be wrooth ayens Israel, and he stiride in hem Dauid, seiynge to Joab, Go thou, and noumbre thou Israel and Juda.
2 Ale fia la dɔ Aʋafia Yoab kple aʋafia bubuwo eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Miyi ne miatsa le Israel ƒe toawo katã me tso Dan va se ɖe Beerseba eye miaŋlɔ ŋutsu siwo ate ŋu awɔ aʋa la ƒe ŋkɔ ne manya woƒe xexlẽme.”
And the kyng seide to Joab, the prince of his oost, Go thou bi alle lynagis of Israel fro Dan `til to Bersabee, and noumbre thou the puple, that Y wite the noumbre therof.
3 Ke Yoab ɖo eŋu na fia la be, “Yehowa, wò Mawu la nadzi wò aʋakɔwo ɖe edzi zi alafa eye wòana be nye aƒetɔ, fia la ƒe ŋkuwo nakpɔ esia gake nu ka ŋuti nye aƒetɔ, fia la di be yeawɔ nu sia ɖo?”
And Joab seide to the kyng, Thi Lord God encresse to this puple, `hou greet it is now, and eft multiplie he an hundrid fold in the siyt of my lord the kyng; but what wole my lord the kyng to hym silf in sich a thing?
4 Ke fia la ƒe nya ɖu Yoab kple aʋafia bubuawo tɔ dzi ale wodzo le fia la ŋkume be woaɖaŋlɔ ŋutsu siwo katã ate ŋu ayi aʋa le Israel la ƒe ŋkɔ.
Sotheli the word of the kyng ouer cam the wordis of Joab, and of the princes of the oost; and Joab yede out, and the princes of the knyytis, fro the face of the kyng, that thei schulden noumbre the puple of Israel.
5 Esi wotso Yɔdan tɔsisi la vɔ la, woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Aroer gbɔ le du si le balime la ƒe dziehe gome eye wozɔ to Gad va ɖo Yazer.
And whanne thei hadden passid Jordan, thei camen in to Aroer, to the riyt side of the citee which is in the valei of Gad;
6 Tso afi ma woyi Gilead le Tatimhodsinyigba dzi heyi Dan Yaan eye woƒo xlã yi Sidon.
and thei passiden bi Jazer in to Galaad, and in to the lowere lond of Odsi, and camen in to the wodi places of Dan; and thei cumpassiden bisidis Sidon,
7 Tso afi ma woyi Tiro mɔ la me kple Hivitɔwo kple Kanaantɔwo ƒe duwo katã me. Mlɔeba la, woyi Beerseba le Yuda ƒe gbegbe.
and passiden nyy the wallis of Tire, and nyy al the lond of Euei, and of Chananei; and thei camen to the south of Juda, in Bersabee.
8 Esi wotsa le anyigba blibo la dzi vɔ la, wotrɔ gbɔ va Yerusalem, esi wotsa le ɣleti asiekɛ kple ŋkeke blaeve kple vɔwo megbe.
And whanne al the lond was cumpassid, thei camen aftir nyne monethis and twenti daies in to Jerusalem.
9 Yoab gblɔ na fia la be ŋutsu siwo tsi na aʋayiyi la le ame akpe alafa enyi le Israel eye wole akpe alafa atɔ̃ le Yuda.
Therfor Joab yaf the noumbre of discriuyng of the puple to the kyng. And of Israel weren foundun nyne hundryd thousynd of stronge men, that drewen out swerd; and of Juda fyue hundrid thousynde of fiyteris.
10 David ƒe dzitsinya ɖe fu nɛ esi wòna woxlẽ ame siwo ate ŋu ayi aʋa la vɔ. Tete wògblɔ na Yehowa be, “Mewɔ nu vɔ̃ gã aɖe le nu si mewɔ la ta. Oo Yehowa, azɔ la meɖe kuku na wò, ɖe wò dɔla ƒe vodada ɖa elabena mewɔ bometsinu gã aɖe.”
Forsothe the herte of Dauid smoot hym, `that is, his concience repreuyde hym, aftir that the puple was noumbrid; and Dauid seide to the Lord, Y synnede greetli in this dede; but, Lord, Y preye that thou turne awei the wickidnesse of thi seruaunt, for Y dide ful folili.
11 Hafi David nafɔ le ŋdi la, Yehowa ƒe gbe va na Nyagblɔɖila Gad, David ƒe nukpɔla be,
Therfor Dauid roos eerli, and the word of the Lord was maad to Gad, the prophete and seere, and seide, Go thou,
12 “Yi nàgblɔ na David be, ‘Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: mele nu etɔ̃ ɖom ŋkuwò me. Tia wo dometɔ ɖeka esi mawɔ ɖe ŋutiwò.’”
and speke to Dauid, The Lord seith these thingis, The chesyng of thre thingis is youun to thee; chese thou oon, which thou wolt of these, that Y do to thee.
13 Gad yi David gbɔ eye wòbiae be, “Ɖe nàtia be dɔwuame nava anyigba dzi ƒe adre loo, alo nàsi le wò futɔwo nu ɣleti etɔ̃ loo, alo dɔvɔ̃ nava anyigba la dzi ŋkeke etɔ̃a? Bu nu siawo ŋu nyuie eye nàna manya ŋuɖoɖo si mana ame si dɔm la.”
And whanne Gad hadde come to Dauid, he telde to Dauid, and seide, Ether hungur schal come to thee in thi lond seuene yeer; ethir thre monethis thou schalt fle thin aduersaries, and thei schulen pursue thee; ether certis thre daies pestilence schal be in thi lond; now therfor delyuere thou, `ether auyse thou, and se, what word Y schal answere to hym that sente me.
14 David gblɔ na Gad be, “Meɖo xaxa gã aɖe me. Na míadze Yehowa ƒe asi me le eƒe nublanuikpɔkpɔ sɔ gbɔ la ta, ke mègana madze amegbetɔ ƒe asi me o.”
Forsothe Dauid seide to Gad, Y am constreyned on ech side greetli; but it is betere that Y falle in to the hondis of the Lord, for his emercies ben manye, than in the hondis of men.
15 Ale Yehowa na dɔvɔ̃ va Israelnyigba dzi ŋdi ma; enɔ anyi va se ɖe ɣeyiɣi si wòɖo nɛ eye ame akpe blaadre ku le dukɔ la me, tso Dan va se ɖe Beerseba.
And the Lord sente pestilence in to Israel fro the morewtid `til to the tyme ordeyned; and seuenti thousynde of men weren deed of the puple fro Dan `til to Bersabee.
16 Esi mawudɔla la do eƒe asi ɖa be yeatsrɔ̃ Yerusalem la, dzɔgbevɔ̃e la ve Yehowa eye wògblɔ na mawudɔla si le nu gblẽm le ameawo dome la be, “Enyo gbɔ! Ɖe wò asi ɖa.” Yehowa ƒe dɔla la ɖo Arauna, Yebusitɔ la ƒe lugbɔƒe le ɣe ma ɣi me.
And whanne the aungel of the Lord hadde holde forth his hond ouer Jerusalem, that he schulde distrie it, the Lord hadde mercy on the turmentyng; and seide to the aungel smytynge the puple, It sufficith now; withholde thin hond. Forsothe the aungel of the Lord was bisidis the corn floor of Areuna Jebusey.
17 David kpɔ mawudɔla la eye wògblɔ na Yehowa be, “Kpɔ ɖa, nyee nye ame si wɔ nu vɔ̃! Nu ka alẽ siawo ya wɔ? Na wò dɔmedzoe nabi ɖe nye kple nye ƒometɔwo ɖeɖe ko ŋuti.”
And Dauid seide to the Lord, whanne he hadde seyn the aungel sleynge the puple, Y am he that `haue synned, and Y dide wickidli; what han these do, that ben scheep? Y biseche, thin hond be turned ayens me, and ayens the hows of my fadir.
18 Nyagblɔɖila Gad va David gbɔ gbe ma gbe eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Yi nàtu vɔsamlekpui aɖe na Yehowa le Arauna, Yebusitɔ la ƒe lugbɔƒe.”
Forsothe Gad, the prophete, cam to Dauid in that dai, and seide to hym, Stie thou, and ordeyne an auter to the Lord in the corn floor of Areuna Jebusei.
19 David yi be yeawɔ nu si Yehowa to Gad dzi gblɔ nɛ.
And Dauid stiede, vpe the word of Gad, which the Lord hadde comaundid to hym.
20 Esi Arauna kpɔ fia la kple eŋumewo gbɔna egbɔ la, eyi hede ta agu tsyɔ mo anyi ɖe fia la ŋkume.
And Areuna bihelde, and perseyuede, that the kyng and hise seruauntis passiden to hym;
21 Ebia wo be, “Nu ka wɔ ge mieva?” David ɖo eŋu be, “Míeva be míaƒle wò lugbɔƒea eye matu vɔsamlekpui aɖe na Yehowa ɖe afi sia ale be wòana dɔvɔ̃ la nu natso.”
and he yede out, and worschipide the kyng bi low cheer to the erthe; and seide, What `cause is, that my lord the kyng cometh to his seruaunt? To whom Dauid seide, That Y bie of thee the corn floor, and bilde an auter to the Lord, and the sleynge ceesse, which is cruel in the puple.
22 Arauna gblɔ na David be, “Nye aƒetɔ fia, wɔ nu sia nu si hiã wò la ŋu dɔ faa. Nyitsuwoe nye esiawo na numevɔsa; àte ŋu awɔ lugbɔnuwo kple nyitsuwo ƒe kɔkutiwo ŋu dɔ hena dzododo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
And Areuna seide to Dauid, My lord the kyng take, and offre, as it plesith hym; thou hast oxis in to brent sacrifice, and a wayn and yockis of oxis in to vss of wode.
23 Matsɔ wo katã na wò faa. Yehowa, wò Mawu la naxɔ wò vɔsa.”
Areuna yaf alle thingis to the king. And Areuna seide to the king, Thi Lord God reseyue thi vow.
24 Ke Fia David gblɔ na Arauna be, “Ao, nyemaxɔ nu siawo abe nunanawo ene o, elabena nyemedi be masa numevɔ la na Yehowa, nye Mawu la kple nu siwo ta nyemexe fe aɖeke ɖo o.” Ale David xe klosaloga blaatɔ̃ nɛ ɖe lugbɔƒe la kple nyitsuawo ta.
To whom the king answeride, and seide, Not as thou wolt, but Y schal bie of thee for prijs, and Y schal not offre to `my Lord God brent sacrifices youun freli. Therfor Dauid bouyte the corn floor, and `he bouyte oxis for fifti siclis of siluer.
25 David ɖi vɔsamlekpui ɖe afi ma na Yehowa eye wòsa numevɔ kple akpedavɔ. Yehowa se eƒe gbedodoɖa eye wòna dɔvɔ̃ la nu tso.
And Dauid bildide there an auter to the Lord, and offride brent sacrifices and pesible sacrifices; and the Lord dide merci to the lond, and the veniaunce was refreyned fro Israel.
