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 wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and moving David against them, he said, Go, take the number 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.

And the king said to Joab and the captains of the army, who were with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, and have all the people numbered, so that I may be certain of the number of the people.

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?

And Joab said to the king, Whatever the number of the people, may the Lord make it a hundred times as much, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king take pleasure in doing this 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.

But the king's order was stronger than Joab and the captains of the army. And Joab and the captains of the army went out from the king, to take the number of the children 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:

And they went over Jordan, and starting from Aroer, from the town which is in the middle of the valley, they went in the direction of the Gadites, and on to 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 came to Gilead, and to the land of the Hittites under Hermon; and they came to Dan, and from Dan they came round to Zidon,

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.

And to the walled town of Tyre, and to all the towns of the Hivites and the Canaanites: and they went out to the South of Judah at Beer-sheba.

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.

So after going through all the land in every direction, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

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 gave the king the number of all the people: there were in Israel eight hundred thousand fighting men able to take up arms; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand.

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.

And after the people had been numbered, David's heart was troubled. And David said to the Lord, Great has been my sin in doing this; but now, O Lord, be pleased to take away the sin of your servant, for I have done 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,

And David got up in the morning; now the word of the Lord had come to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

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 say to David, The Lord says, Three things are offered to you: say which of them you will have, and I will do it to 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 came to David, and gave him word of this and said to him, Are there to be three years when there is not enough food in your land? or will you go in flight from your haters for three months, while they go after you? or will you have three days of violent disease in your land? take thought and say what answer I am to give 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.

And David said to Gad, This is a hard decision for me to make: let us come into the hands of the Lord, for great are his mercies: let me not come 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 David made selection of the disease; and the time was the days of the grain-cutting, when the disease came among the people, causing the death of seventy thousand men from Dan as far as Beer-sheba.

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.

And when the hand of the angel was stretched out in the direction of Jerusalem, for its destruction, the Lord had regret for the evil, and said to the angel who was sending destruction on the people, It is enough; do no more. And the angel of the Lord was by the grain-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.

And when David saw the angel who was causing the destruction of the people, he said to the Lord, Truly, the sin is mine; I have done wrong: but these are only sheep; what have they done? let your hand be against me and against my family.

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 put up an altar to the Lord on the grain-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, as Gad had said and as the Lord had given orders.

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.

And Araunah, looking out, saw the king and his servants coming to him: and Araunah went out, and went down on his face to the earth 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.

And Araunah said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To give you a price for your grain-floor, so that I may put up an altar to the Lord, and the disease may be stopped among the people.

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.

And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take whatever seems right to him, and make an offering of it: see, here are the oxen for the burned offering, and the grain-cleaning instruments and the ox-yokes for 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.

All this does the servant of my lord the king give to the king. And Araunah said, May the Lord your God be pleased with your offering!

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.

And the king said to Araunah, No, but I will give you a price for it; I will not give to the Lord my God burned offerings for which I have given nothing. So David got the grain-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 David put up an altar to the Lord, making burned offerings and peace-offerings. So the Lord gave ear to his prayer for the land, and the disease came to an end in Israel.
