1 Ary Satana nitsangana hampidi-doza tamin’ ny Isiraely ka nanome saina an’ i Davida hanisa ny Isiraely.
And the devil stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
2 Dia hoy Davida tamin’ i Joaba sy tamin’ ireo lehiben’ ny vahoaka: Mandehana, isao ny Isiraely hatrany Beri-sheba ka hatrany Dana; ary ento atỳ amiko ny isany mba ho fantatro.
And king David said to Joab and to the captains of the forces, Go, number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me [the account], and I shall know their number.
3 Fa hoy Joaba: Jehovah anie hampitombo ny olony ho injato toy izao na firy na firy izy; fa moa tsy mpanompon’ ny tompoko izy rehetra, ry mpanjaka tompoko? Koa inona indray no itadiavan’ ny tompoko izany zavatra izany? Nahoana no dia hampahadiso ny Isiraely?
And Joab said, May the Lord add to his people, a hundred-fold as many as they [are], and [let] the eyes of my lord the king see [it]: all [are] the servants of my lord. Why does my lord seek this thing? [do it not], lest it become a sin to Israel.
4 Nefa tsy azon’ i Joaba nolavina ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka; ka dia niainga izy ka nitety ny Isiraely rehetra; dia tonga tany Jerosalema indray izy.
Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab went out and passed through all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Ary natolotr’ i Joaba an’ i Davida ny isan’ ny olona voalamina, ka nisy iray hetsy sy iray tapitrisa ny lehilahy mahatan-tsabatra teo amin’ ny Isiraely; ary fito alina sy efatra hetsy ny lehilahy mahatan-tsabatra teo amin’ ny Joda.
And Joab gave the number of the mustering of the people to David: and all Israel was a million and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and the sons of Juda [were] four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.
6 Fa ny Levy sy ny Benjamina tsy mba nalaminy, satria fahavetavetana tamin’ i Joaba ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka.
But he numbered not Levi and Benjamin among them; for the word of the king was painful to Joab.
7 Ary tsy sitrak’ Andriamanitra izany zavatra izany; ka dia namely ny Isiraely Izy.
And [there was] evil in the sight of the Lord respecting this thing; and he smote Israel.
8 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ Andriamanitra; Efa nanota indrindra aho tamin’ izao nataoko izao; koa ankehitriny, mifona aminao aho, esory ny heloky ny mpanomponao, fa efa nanao fahadalana lehibe tokoa aho.
And David said to God, I have sinned exceedingly, in that I have done this thing: and now, I pray thee, remove the sin of thy servant; for I have been exceedingly foolish.
9 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Gada mpahitan’ i Davida:
And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer, saying,
10 Mandehana, ka lazao amin’ i Davida hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Zavatra telo loha no apetrako eto anoloanao, koa fidio izay iray hataoko aminao.
Go and speak to David, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I bring three things upon thee: choose one of them for thyself, and I will do it to thee.
11 Ary Gada nankany amin’ i Davida ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Mifidia:
And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Choose for thyself,
12 Mosary telo taona va? Sa fandringanana eo alohan’ ny fahavalonao telo volana, raha tratry ny sabatry ny fahavalonao ianao? Sa ny sabatr’ i Jehovah, dia areti-mandringana, no hamely ny tany hateloana, ka Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah handringana eran’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely rehetra? Koa hevero tsara izay valiny ho entiko miverina any amin’ Izay naniraka ahy.
either three years of famine, or that thou shouldest flee three months from the face of thine enemies, and the sword of thine enemies [shall be employed] to destroy thee, or that the sword of the Lord and pestilence [should be] three days in the land, and the angel of the Lord [shall be] destroying in all the inheritance of Israel. And now consider what I shall answer to him that sent the message.
13 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Gada: Indrisy! poritra loatra aho! nefa aleoko ho azon’ ny tànan’ i Jehovah, fa lehibe ny famindram-pony toy izay ho azon’ izay tànan’ olona.
And David said to Gad, They are very hard for me, even [all] the three: let me fall now into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies [are] very abundant, and let me not fall by any means into the hands of man.
14 Dia nasian’ i Jehovah areti-mandringana ny Isiraely ka nahafatesana fito alina izy.
So the Lord brought pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
15 Ary Andriamanitra naniraka Anjely hankany Jerosalema handrava azy; ary raha ilay mbola nandrava iny Izy, dia nijery Jehovah ka nanenina ny amin’ ny loza ka nanao tamin’ Ilay Anjely nandrava hoe: Aoka izay! Atsaharo ny tananao ankehitriny. Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah nitsangana teo anilan’ ny famoloan’ i Araona Jebosita.
And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the Lord saw, and repented for the evil, and said to the angel that was destroying, Let it suffice thee; withhold thine hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the threshing-floor of Orna the Jebusite.
16 Ary Davida nanopy ny masony ka nahita Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah nitsangana teo anelanelan’ ny tany sy ny lanitra sady nitana sabatra voatsoaka teny an-tanany, izay natondrony manandrify an’ i Jerosalema. Dia niankohoka Davida sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely, izay efa samy nitafy lamba fisaonana.
And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord, standing between the earth and the heaven, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem: and David and the elders clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
17 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ Andriamanitra: Tsy izaho va no nandidy hanisa ny vahoaka? Izaho no nanota sy nanao ratsy tokoa; fa ireo ondry ireo kosa, inona moa no mba nataony? Eny, Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, mifona aminao re aho, aoka ny tananao hamely ahy sy ny mpianakavin’ ny raiko, fa aza ny olonao no asianao amin’ ny areti-mandringana.
And David said to God, [Was it] not I [that] gave orders to number the people? and I am the guilty one; I have greatly sinned: but these sheep, what have they done? O Lord God, let thy hand be upon me, and upon my father's house, and not on thy people for destruction, O Lord!
18 Ary Gada nasain’ Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah hilaza amin’ i Davida mba hiakatra hanangana alitara ho an’ i Jehovah ao amin’ ny famoloan’ i Araona Jebosita.
And the angel of the Lord told Gad to tell David, that he should go up to erect and altar to the Lord, in the threshing-floor of Orna the Jebusite.
19 Koa dia niakatra Davida araka ny tenin’ i Gada, izay nolazainy tamin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah.
And David went up according to the word of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the Lord.
20 Ary Araona niherika ka nahita Ilay Anjely; ary ny zanany efa-dahy izay teo aminy dia niery. Ary Araona nively vary tao tamin’ izay.
And Orna turned and saw the king; and he hid himself and his four sons with him. Now Orna was threshing wheat.
21 Ary nony tonga teo amin’ i Araona Davida, dia nijery Araona ka nahita an’ i Davida, ary dia niala avy teo amin’ ny famoloana izy ka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehan’ i Davida.
And David came to Orna; and Orna came forth from the threshing-floor, and did obeisance to David with his face to the ground.
22 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Araona: Mba omeo ahy amin’ izay tokom-bidiny ity famoloana ity hanorenako alitara ho an’ i Jehovah; omeo ahy izy, mba hitsaharan’ ny areti-mandringana tsy hamely ny vahoaka.
And David said to Orna, Give me thy place of the threshing-floor, and I will build upon it an altar to the Lord: give it me for its worth in money, and the plague shall cease from [among] the people.
23 Fa hoy Araona tamin’ i Davida: Ento ary ho anao, ary aoka ny mpanjaka tompoko hanao izay sitrany; indro, omeko koa ny omby ho fanatitra dorana ary ny fivelezam-bary ho kitay ary ny vary tritika ho fanatitra hohanina; foiko avokoa izy rehetra.
And Orna said to David, Take it to thyself, and let my lord the king do what is right in his eyes: see, I have given the calves for a whole-burnt-offering, and the plough for wood, and the corn for a meat-offering; I have given all.
24 Fa hoy Davida mpanjaka tamin’ i Araona: Tsia, fa hovidiko mihitsy araka izay tokom-bidiny; fa tsy haka izay anao ho an’ i Jehovah aho ary tsy hanatitra fanatitra dorana amin’ izay azoko fotsiny.
And king David said to Orna, Nay; for I will surely buy it for its worth in money: for I will not take thy property for the Lord, to offer a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord without cost [to myself].
25 Dia nomen’ i Davida sekely volamena lanjan’ enin-jato Araona ho vidin’ ny tany.
And David gave to Orna for his place six hundred shekels of gold [by] weight.
26 Ary Davida nanorina alitara teo ho an’ i Jehovah ka nanatitra fanatitra dorana sy fanati-pihavanana; dia niantso an’ i Jehovah izy ka novaliany tamin’ ny afo avy tany an-danitra, izay latsaka teo amin’ ny alitara fandoroana ny fanatitra dorana.
And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered up whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings: and he cried to the Lord, and he answered him by fire out of heaven on the altar of whole-burnt-offerings, and [it] consumed the whole-burnt-offering.
27 Ary Jehovah nandidy Ilay Anjely, ka dia nampidiriny tamin’ ny tranony ny sabany.
And the Lord spoke to the angel; and he put up the sword into its sheath.
28 Tamin’ izany andro izany, nony hitan’ i Davida fa novalian’ i Jehovah teo amin’ ny famoloan’ i Araona Jebosita izy, dia namono zavatra hatao fanatitra teo izy.
At that time when David saw that the Lord answered him in the threshing-floor of Orna the Jebusite, he also sacrificed there.
29 Fa ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah izay nataon’ i Mosesy tany an-efitra sy ny alitara fandoroana ny fanatitra dorana kosa dia teo amin’ ny fitoerana avo tao Gibeona fahizay;
And the tabernacle of the Lord which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of whole-burnt-offerings, [were] at that time in the high place at Gabaon.
30 nefa Davida tsy nahazo nankeo anoloan’ izany hanontany amin’ Andriamanitra; fa raiki-tahotra izy noho ny sabatr’ Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah.
And David could not go before it to enquire of God; for he hasted not because of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
