II Samuela 24
1 U A hoaa hou ia ka inaina o Iehova i ka Iseraela, a ua hoowalewaleia mai o Davida maluna o lakou, e kena aku ai, E haele e helu aku i ka Iseraela a me ka Iuda.
Again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He stirred up David against them, saying, “Go and take a census of Israel and Judah.”
2 I aku la ke alii ia Ioaba ka lunakaua, e noho ana me ia, E poaihele oukou i na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, mai Dana a hiki aku i Beereseba, a e helu oukou i na kanaka, i ike hoi au i ka nui o na kanaka.
So the king said to Joab the commander of his army, who was with him, “Go now throughout the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba and register the troops, so that I may know their number.”
3 I aku la o Ioaba i ke alii, E hoonui mai o Iehova i na kanaka i ko lakou nui, a pahaneri hou aku; a e ike aku hoi na maka o kuu haku o ke alii ia mea: i aha hoi e makemake nei ko'u haku ke alii ia mea?
But Joab replied to the king, “May the LORD your God multiply the troops a hundred times over, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king want to do such a thing?”
4 Aka, ua ikaika aku ka olelo a ke alii maluna o ka loaba, a i ka poe lunakaua ona, Haele aku la o Ioaba a me na lunakaua mai ke alo aku o ke alii e helu iho i na kanaka o Iseraela.
Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders of the army departed from the presence of the king to count the troops of Israel.
5 Hele aku la lakou ma kela aoao o Ioredane, a kukulu i na halelewa ma Aroera ma ka aoao akau o ke kulanakauhale mawaena konu o ke awawa o Gada, ma ka aoao ma Iazera:
They crossed the Jordan and camped near Aroer, south of the town in the middle of the valley, and proceeded toward Gad and Jazer.
6 Alaila hele aku la lakou i Gileada, a ma ka aina i Tahetima-hodesi; a hele aku la hoi lakou i Daniaana, a poai ae la a hiki aku i Zidona.
Then they went to Gilead and the land of Tahtim-hodshi, and on to Dan-jaan and around to Sidon.
7 Hiki aku la lakou i ka pakaua paa i Turo, a i na kulanakauhale o ka Hivi, a me ka Kanaana: a hele aku la lakou ma ke kukuluhema o ka Iuda ma Beereseba.
They went toward the fortress of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and Canaanites. Finally, they went on to the Negev of Judah, to Beersheba.
8 A hala na malama eiwa me na la he iwakalua, ua pau ae la ka aina i ke kaaheleia a hoi mai la lakou i Ierusalema.
At the end of nine months and twenty days, having gone through the whole land, they returned to Jerusalem.
9 A haawi aku la o Ioaba i ka huina o ka helu ana i na kanaka, i ke alii: a iloko o ka Iseraela he ewalu haneri tausani kanaka koa, na mea unuhi i ka pahikaua: a he elima haneri tausani kanaka no ka Iuda.
And Joab reported to the king the total number of the troops. In Israel there were 800,000 men of valor who drew the sword, and in Judah there were 500,000.
10 Kui iho la ka naau o Davida ia ia iho, mahope iho o kana helu ana i na kanaka. I aku la Davida ia Iehova, Ua hewa nui au i ka mea a'u i hana iho nei: e Iehova, e lawe aku oe i ka hala o kau kauwa; no ka mea, ua hana lapuwale no wau.
After David had numbered the troops, his conscience was stricken and he said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. Now, O LORD, I beg You to take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.”
11 A ala'e la o Davida i kakahiaka, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova i ke kaula io Gada la, i ke Davida kaula, i ka i ana mai,
When David got up in the morning, a revelation from the LORD had come to Gad the prophet, David’s seer:
12 E hele oe, e i aku ia Davida, Penei ka Iehova olelo, Ke hoike aku nei au i ekolu mau mea nou; e koho oe i kekahi o ia mau mea, i hana aku ai au ia oe ilaila.
“Go and tell David that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am offering you three options. Choose one of them, and I will carry it out against you.’”
13 Hele mai la o Gada io Davida la, a hai mai la ia ia, i mai la, E hiki mai anei na makahiki wi ehiku i kou aina? a e auhee paha oe i ekolu malama imua o kou poe enemi i ko lakou alualu ana mai ia oe? a e hiki mai paha na la ahulau ekolu ma kou aina? E kuka iho oe, a e noonoo iho i ka olelo a'u e hoihoi aku ai i ka mea nana au i hoouna mai nei.
So Gad went and said to David, “Do you choose to endure three years of famine in your land, three months of fleeing the pursuit of your enemies, or three days of plague upon your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should reply to Him who sent me.”
14 I aku la o Davida ia Gada, He pilikia nui ko'u: e aho e haule iho kakou ano iloko o na lima o Iehova; no ka mea, he nui kona aloha: aole au e make haule iloko o ka lima o kanaka.
David answered Gad, “I am deeply distressed. Please, let us fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men.”
15 A hoouna mai la o Iehova i ke ahulau iluna o ka Iseraela, mai ke kakahiaka a hiki i ka manawa i oleloia'i, a make iho la na kanaka mai Dana a hiki i Beereseba, he kanahiku tausani kanaka.
So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel from that morning until the appointed time, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died.
16 I ka wa i o aku ai ka anela i kona lima maluna o Ierusalema, mihi iho la o Iehova no ka poino, i mai la ia i ka anela nana i luku mai i na kanaka, Ua oki; e alia kou lima ano. E ku ana ka anela ma kahi hehi palaoa no Arauna ka Iebusi.
But when the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the LORD relented from the calamity and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand now!” At that time the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
17 Olelo aku la o Davida ia Iehova i kona ike ana aku i ka anela nana i luku mai i na kanaka, i aku la, Eia hoi, ua hewa wau, ua hana ino no hoi: aka, o keia poe hipa, heaha la ka lakou i hana aku ai? ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e kauia mai kou lima maluna o'u, a maluna hoi o ka ohana a ko'u makuakane.
When David saw the angel striking down the people, he said to the LORD, “Surely I, the shepherd, have sinned and acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Please, let Your hand fall upon me and my father’s house.”
18 Hele aku la o Gada io Davida la ia la, i mai la ia ia, E pii aku oe, e kukulu i kuahu no Iehova ma kahi hehi palaoa no Arauna ka Iebusi.
And that day Gad came to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
19 Pii aku la o Davida ma ka olelo ana a Gada, e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai.
So David went up at the word of Gad, just as the LORD had commanded.
20 Nana aku la o Arauna, a ike aku la i ke alii a me kana poe kauwa e hele mai ana io na la. Hele aku la o Arauna iwaho, a kulou iho la imua o ke alii ilalo kona alo i ka honua.
When Araunah looked out and saw the king and his servants coming toward him, he went out and bowed facedown before the king.
21 I aku la o Arauna i ke alii, No ke aha la i hele mai nei kuu haku ke alii i kana kauwa? I mai la o Davida, E kuai me oe i kahi hehi palaoa, i wahi e hana ai i kuahu no Iehova, i hookiia'i ke ahulau mai na kanaka aku.
“Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” Araunah said. “To buy your threshing floor,” David replied, “that I may build an altar to the LORD, so that the plague upon the people may be halted.”
22 I aku la o Arauna ia Davida, E lawe kuu haku ke alii, a e mohai aku e like me kona manao he pono: eia hoi na bipikane i mohai kuni, a me na laau kaa palaoa, a me na mea laau a na bipi i wahie.
Araunah said to David, “My lord the king may take whatever seems good and offer it up. Here are the oxen for a burnt offering and the threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood.
23 Haawi aku la o Arauna me he alii la ia mau mea a pau i ke alii. I aku la hoi o Arauna i ke alii, E maliu mai hoi o Iehova ia oe.
O king, Araunah gives all these to the king.” He also said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.”
24 I mai la ke alii ia Arauna, Aole pela, oiaio no e kuai aku au me oe, ma ke kumukuai: aole au e kaumaha aku i na mohaikuni ia Iehova i ko'u Akua i ka mea i loaa ia'u ma ke kumukuai ole. A kuai aku la o Davida i kahi hehi palaoa a me na bipikane, i kanalima sekela kala.
“No,” replied the king, “I insist on paying a price, for I will not offer to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25 Hana iho la o Davida i kuahu malaila no Iehova, a kaumaha aku la ia i na mohaikuni, a me na mohai hoomalu. A maliu mai la o Iehova i ka aina, a hookiia iho la ke ahulau mai ka Iseraela aku.
And there he built an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Then the LORD answered the prayers on behalf of the land, and the plague upon Israel was halted.
