< 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.
And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He moved David against them, saying: 'Go, number 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 the captain of the host that was with him: 'Go now to and fro through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the sum 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 unto the king: 'Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever they may be, a hundredfold, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it; but why doth my lord the king delight in 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.
Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people 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 passed over the Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and unto 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 Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and round about 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 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 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 when they had gone to and fro through all the land, 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 up the sum of the numbering of the people unto the king; and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
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 David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD: 'I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, O LORD, put away, I beseech Thee, the iniquity of Thy 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 when David rose up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto 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 speak unto David: Thus saith the LORD: I lay upon thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.'
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 told him, and said unto him: 'Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thy foes while they pursue thee? or shall there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise thee, and consider what answer I shall return to Him that 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 unto Gad: 'I am in a great strait; let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for His mercies are great; and let me not fall into the hand of man.'
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 pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed; and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.
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 angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented Him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people: 'It is enough; now stay thy hand.' And 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.
And David spoke unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said: 'Lo, I have sinned, and I have done iniquitously; but these sheep, what have they done? let Thy hand, I pray Thee, be against me, and against 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 Gad came that day to David, and said unto him: 'Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in 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.
And David went up according to the saying of Gad, as the LORD 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.
And Araunah looked forth, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him; and Araunah went out, and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.
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: 'Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant?' And David said: 'To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from 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 unto David: 'Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him; behold the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-instruments and the furniture of the oxen 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.
All this did Araunah the king give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king: 'The LORD thy God accept thee.'
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 unto Araunah: 'Nay; but I will verily buy it of thee at a price; neither will I offer burnt-offerings unto the LORD my God which 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 David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
