2 Samyèl 24
1 Alò, kòlè SENYÈ a te brile ankò kont Israël e li te pwovoke David kont yo pou di: “Ale konte moun Israël avèk Juda yo.”
Again the LORD’s anger burnt against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, “Go, count Israel and Judah.”
2 Wa a te di a Joab, chèf lame ki te avèk li a: “Ale, koulye a, atravè tout tribi Israël yo, soti nan Dan jis rive Beer-Schéba e anrejistre pèp la pou m kab konnen nonb de moun yo.”
The king said to Joab the captain of the army, who was with him, “Now go back and forth through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the sum of the people.”
3 Men Joab te di a wa a: “Alò, ke SENYÈ a ta kapab ajoute san fwa anplis kantite moun ke yo ye a, pandan zye a mèt mwen an, wa a, kab toujou wè. Men poukisa mèt mwen an, wa a, twouve plezi nan bagay sila a?”
Joab said to the king, “Now may the LORD your God add to the people, however many they may be, one hundred times; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king delight in this thing?”
4 Men pawòl a wa a te pran plas kont Joab, e kont chèf lame yo. Pou sa, Joab avèk chèf lame yo te sòti nan prezans wa a pou anrejistre pèp Israël la.
Notwithstanding, the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the captains of the army. Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel.
5 Yo te travèse Jourdain an pou te fè kan Aroër, sou bò dwat vil la ki nan mitan vale Gad la, ak vè Jaezer.
They passed over the Jordan and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and to Jazer;
6 Epi yo te vini Galaad, nan peyi Thachthim-Hodschi, yo te rive Danjaan ak kote Sidon an.
then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; and they came to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon,
7 Epi yo te rive nan fòterès Tyr la, nan tout vil a Evyen yo ak Kananeyen yo; epi yo te sòti nan sid Juda, nan Beer-Schéba.
and came to the stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites; and they went out to the south of Judah, at Beersheba.
8 Konsa, lè yo te fin pase nan tout peyi a, yo te vini Jérusalem nan fen nèf mwa e ven jou.
So when they had gone back and forth through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
9 Epi Joab te bay nimewo anrejistreman pèp la bay wa a. Te gen an Israël, ui-san-mil mesye vanyan ki te kapab rale nepe e mesye nan Juda yo te senk-san-mil.
Joab gave up the sum of the counting of the people to the king; and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
10 Koulye a, kè David te vin twouble lè li te fin konte pèp la. Konsa, David te di a SENYÈ a: “Mwen te fè gwo peche nan sa mwen te fè a. Men koulye a, O SENYÈ, souple retire inikite a sèvitè Ou a, paske mwen te aji nan foli.”
David’s heart struck him after he had counted the people. David said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in that which I have done. But now, the LORD, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.”
11 Lè David te leve nan maten, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a pwofèt Gad la, vwayan David la, e li te di:
When David rose up in the morning, the LORD’s word came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,
12 “Ale pale avèk David: ‘Konsa SENYÈ a di: “Mwen ap ofri ou twa bagay; chwazi pou ou menm youn nan yo, pou m fè ou.”’”
“Go and speak to David, ‘The LORD says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”
13 Konsa, Gad te rive kote David e li te di li: “Èske sèt ane gwo grangou va rive ou nan peyi ou? Oswa èske ou va sove ale pandan twa mwa devan lènmi ou yo pandan y ap kouri dèyè ou? Oswa èske va gen twa jou gwo epidemi nan peyi ou? Alò konsidere e wè ki repons mwen va pote bay Sila ki te voye mwen an.”
So Gad came to David, and told him, saying, “Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ pestilence in your land? Now answer, and consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.”
14 Epi David te di a Gad: “Mwen nan gwo pwoblèm. Annou tonbe nan men a SENYÈ a, paske mizerikòd Li gran; men pa kite mwen tonbe nan men a lòm.”
David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let us fall now into the LORD’s hand, for his mercies are great. Let me not fall into man’s hand.”
15 Konsa, SENYÈ a te voye yon epidemi sou Israël jis rive nan maten nan lè chwazi a e swasann-di-mil moun nan pèp la soti Dan jis rive Beer-Schéba te mouri.
So the LORD sent a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the appointed time; and seventy thousand men died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba.
16 Lè zanj lan te lonje men li vè Jérusalem pou detwi li, SENYÈ a te repanti de gwo malè a. Li te di a zanj ki te detwi pèp la: “Sa ase! Koulye a, lache men ou!” Epi zanj SENYÈ a te akote glasi a Aravna a, Jebizyen an.
When the angel stretched out his hand towards Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” The LORD’s angel was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
17 Konsa, David te pale a SENYÈ a lè li te wè zanj ki t ap frape pèp la. Li te di: “Gade byen, se mwen ki te peche a, se mwen ki te fè mal la. Men mouton sila yo, kisa yo te fè? Souple, kite men Ou vin kont mwen, ak kont lakay papa m.”
David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, “Behold, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me, and against my father’s house.”
18 Konsa, Gad te rive kote David nan jou sa menm, e li te di li: “Ale monte, bati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a sou glasi Aravna a, Jebizyen an.”
Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up, build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
19 David te monte pa pawòl a Gad la, jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande a.
David went up according to the saying of Gad, as the LORD commanded.
20 Aravna te gade anba e te wè wa a avèk sèvitè li yo ki t ap travèse bò kote li. Epi Aravna te parèt deyò e li te bese figi li jiska atè devan wa a.
Araunah looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on towards him. Then Araunah went out and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
21 Alò, Aravna te di: “Poukisa mèt mwen, wa a, te vin kote sèvitè li a?” David te reponn: “Pou achte glasi a nan men ou, pou m kab bati yon lotèl bay SENYÈ a, pou epidemi an kab vin sispann sou pèp la.”
Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” David said, “To buy your threshing floor, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”
22 Aravna te di a David: “Kite mèt mwen an, wa a, pran sa li wè ki bon nan zye li, e ofri li. Gade, men bèf pou ofrann brile a, bwa kabwèt yo avèk jouk bèf yo pou bwa dife a.
Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Behold, the cattle for the burnt offering, and the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood.
23 Tout bagay, O wa, Aravna ap bay wa a.” Epi Aravna te di a wa a: “Ke SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, kapab kontan avèk ou.”
All this, O king, does Araunah give to the king.” Araunah said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.”
24 Sepandan, wa a te di a Aravna: “Non, men mwen va, anverite, achte li pou yon pri. Paske mwen p ap ofri ofrann brile bay SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an ki pa koute m anyen.” Konsa, David te achte glasi a avèk bèf yo pou senkant sik ajan.
The king said to Araunah, “No, but I will most certainly buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25 David te bati la yon lotèl bay SENYÈ a e li te ofri ofrann brile yo avèk ofrann lapè yo. Konsa, SENYÈ a te kontan akoz lapriyè pou peyi a, e epidemi an te vin sispann an Israël.
David built an altar to the LORD there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was removed from Israel.
