1 Tantara 21
1 Nitroatse am’ Israele amy zao i mpañinjey nañosike i Davide hañiake Israele.
And Satan rose up against Israel: and moved David to number Israel.
2 Le hoe t’i Davide am’ Ioabe naho amo mpiaolo’ ondatio; Akia volilio t’Israele boake Beer-Sevà pake Dane añe; vaho andeso amako ho isako. Fa hoe t’Ioabe:
And David said to Joab, and to the rulers of the people: Go, and number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me the number of them that I may know it.
3 Ehe te hampitomboe’ Iehovà in-jato ty hamaro’e, f’ie tsy songa mpitoron-talèko hao ry talèko mpanjaka? ino ty paia’ i talèko o raha zao? Ino ty hampanaña’e hakeo Israele?
And Joab answered: The Lord make his people a hundred times more than they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all thy servants: why doth my lord seek this thing, which may be imputed as a sin to Israel?
4 Fe naharekets’ Ioabe ty saontsi’ i mpanjakay. Aa le niavotse t’Ioabe, nanitsike Israele vaho nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo.
But the king’s word rather prevailed: and Joab departed, and went through all Israel: and returned to Jerusalem.
5 Le natolo’ Ioabe amy Davide ty fitonto’ i famoliliañe ondatioy. Aa naho Israele iaby, le rai-tampetrisa-tsi-rai-hetse t’indaty nahafitsoa-pibara vaho am’Iehodà, efats-etse-tsi-fito-ale t’indaty nahafitsoa-pibara.
And he gave David the number of them, whom he had surveyed: and all the number of Israel was found to be eleven hundred thousand men that drew the sword: and of Juda four hundred and seventy thousand fighting men.
6 Fe tsy vinolily am’ iereo t’i Levý naho i Beniamine; amy te nampitorifike Ioabe ty saontsi’ i mpanjakay.
But Levi and Benjamin he did not number: for Joab unwillingly executed the king’s orders.
7 Nihejen’Añahare i raha zay; le linafa’e t’Israele.
And God was displeased with this thing that was commanded: and he struck Israel.
8 Le hoe t’i Davide aman’ Añahare: aman-kakeo bey iraho, amy nanoeko i rahay; ehe apoho henaneo i tahim-pitoro’oy; amy te nanao hadagolàñe.
And David said to God: I have sinned exceedingly in doing this: I beseech thee take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done foolishly.
9 Le nitsara amy Gade, mpitoki’ i Davide, t’Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer of David, saying:
10 Akia saontsio amy Davide ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Azotsoko ama’o ty raha telo, ijoboño ty hanoako.
Go, and speak to David, and tell him: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee the choice of three things: choose one which thou wilt, and I will do it to thee.
11 Aa le nimb’ amy Davide mb’eo t’i Gade le nanoe’e ty hoe; Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Joboño ze tea’o,
And when Gad was come to David, he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: choose which thou wilt:
12 ke t’ie ho san-kerè telo taoñe, ke ho fafàñe aolon-drafelahi’o telo volañe, ie manjomòts’ azo ty fibaran-drafelahi’o, he ho telo andro am-pibara’ Iehovà, rekets’ angorosy amy taney, ie tsitsife’ ty Anjeli’ Iehovà rotsake ty an-tane’ Israele. Aa le ereñereño henaneo ty vale’e hampoliko amy nañirak’ ahiy.
Either three years’ famine: or three months to flee from thy enemies, and not to be able to escape their sword: or three days to have the sword of the Lord, and pestilence in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying in all the coasts of Israel: now therefore see what I shall answer him who sent me.
13 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Gade, Vata’e dobo iraho; apoho hikorovok’ am-pità’ Iehovà, amy te ra’elahy o fiferenaiña’eo; fa ko ado’o hivarinjonjok’ am-pità’ondaty.
And David said to Gad: I am on every side in a great strait: but it is better for me to fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies are many, than into the hands of men.
14 Aa le nirahe’ Iehovà am’ Israele ty angorosy; le ondaty fito-ale ty nitsingoritrìtse.
So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel. And there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
15 Nampihitrifen’ Añahare am’ Ierosalaime ty anjely handrotsake, aa ie ho nanjevo le najihe’ Iehovà; niferenaiña’e tsy hanao i hankàñey vaho nanoe’e ty hoe i anjely mpandrotsakey, Soa izay, agebaño henaneo ty fità’o. Le nijohañe marine’ ty tanem-pifofoha’ i Ornane nte-Iebosý eo i anjeli’ Iehovày.
And he sent an angel to Jerusalem, to strike it: and as he was striking it, the Lord beheld, and took pity for the greatness of the evil: and said to the angel that destroyed: It is enough, now stop thy hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the thrashing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 Nampiandra fihaino amy zao t’i Davide le nioni’e nijohañe añivo’ ty tane toy naho i likerañey i anjeli’ Iehovày, ie natorakitsi’e ambone’ Ierosalaime eo ty fibara tsinoake am-pità’e. Nibabok’ an-daharañe amy zao t’i Davide naho o androanavi’ Israeleo songa nisikin-gony.
And David lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand, turned against Jerusalem: and both he and the ancients clothed in haircloth, fell down flat on the ground.
17 Le hoe t’i Davide aman’ Añahare, Tsy izaho hao ty nandily ty fañiahañe ondatio? Izaho avao ty nandilatse, nanao i haratiañey; fa o añondry retoañe, ino ty nanoe’ iareo? Ehe te ho amako naho añ’ anjomban-draeko ty fità’o ry Iehovà Andrianañahareko, fa tsy am’ondati’oo, hanjamañe iareo.
And David said to God: Am not I he that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned: it is I that have done the evil: but as for this flock, what hath it deserved? O Lord my God, let thy hand be turned, I beseech thee, upon me, and upon my father’s house: and let not thy people be destroyed.
18 Aa le nampisaontsie’ i anjeli’ Iehovày i Gade amy Davide, te hampitroare’ i Davide am’ Iehovà ty kitrely an-tanem-pamofoha’ i Ornane nte-Iebosý eo.
And the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to tell David, to go up, and build an altar to the Lord God in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 Le nionjomb’eo t’i Davide ty amy nitaroña’ i Gade ami’ty tahina’ Iehovày.
And David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spoke to him in the name of the Lord.
20 Ie nitolike t’i Ornane le nioni’e i anjeliy, le niharo nietake, ie naho ty ana-dahi’e efatse. Namofoke vare-bolè t’i Ornane henane zay.
Now when Ornan looked up, and saw the angel, he and his four sons hid themselves: for at that time he was thrashing wheat in the floor.
21 Ie nimb’e Ornane mb’eo t’i Davide, le niandra t’i Ornane, nahaisake i Davide, le niavotse mb’ an-tanem-pamofohañe mb’eo vaho nibokok’ amy Davide, ty lahara’e mb’an-tane.
And as David was coming to Ornan, Ornan saw him, and went out of the thrashingfloor to meet him, and bowed down to him with his face to the ground.
22 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Ornane, Atoloro ahy ty toem-pamofohañe toy hañamboarako kitrely am’Iehovà; atoloro ahy ami’ty vili’e do’e, hampijihetse i angorosiy am’ ondatio.
And David said to him: Give me this place of thy thrashingfloor, that I may build therein an altar to the Lord: but thou shalt take of me as much money as it is worth, that the plague may cease from the people.
23 Le hoe t’i Ornane amy Davide, Endeso ho azo le hanoa’ i talèko mpanjakay ze soa am-pihaino’e. Ingo atoloko azo o añombeo ho soroñe naho o haraom-pamofohañeo ho hatae vaho o vare-bolèo ho enga mahakama; fonga itolorako.
And Ornan said to David: Take it, and let my lord the king do all that pleaseth him: and moreover the oxen also I give for a holocaust, and the drays for wood, and the wheat for the sacrifice: I will give it all willingly.
24 Le hoe t’i Davide mpanjaka amy Ornane, Aiy avao! tsy mete tsy vilieko ami’ty vili’e do’e, fa tsy ho rambeseko ho a Iehovà o azoo, ndra hañenga soroñe tsy amam-bily.
And king David said to him: It shall not be so, but I will give thee money as much as it is worth: for I must not take it from thee, and so offer to the Lord holocausts free cost.
25 Aa le natolo’ i Davide amy Ornane ho amy toetsey ty sekelem-bolamena enenjato ami’ty lanja’e
So David gave to Ornan for the place, six hundred sicles of gold of just weight.
26 naho nandranjy kitrely am’ Iehovà eo t’i Davide le nañenga soroñe naho engam-panintsiñañe naho nikanjy Iehovà vaho natoi’e boak’ andikerañe ey, nampidoiñ’ afo ambone’ i kitrely fisoroñañey.
And he built there an altar to the Lord: and he offered holocausts, and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord, and he heard him by sending Are from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust.
27 Ie linili’ Iehovà i anjeliy le naombe’e an-kotra’e ao i fibara’ey.
And the Lord commanded the angel: and he put up his sword again into the sheath.
28 Nioni’ i Davide henane zay te nanoiñe aze an-toem-pamofoha’ i Ornane nte-Iebosý eo t’Iehovà le eo ty nañenga’e soroñe.
And David seeing that the Lord had heard him in the thrashingfloor of Oman the Jebusite, forthwith offered victims there.
29 Amy te mbe an-toets’ abo’ i Gibone añe ty kivoho’ Iehovà niranjie’ i Mosè am-patrambey añe naho i kitrelim-pisoroñañey henane zay.
But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, was at that time in the high place of Gabaon.
30 Fe tsy nete niatrek’ ama’e eo t’i Davide hañontane an’ Andrianañahare fa nampirevendreveñe aze i fibaran’ anjeli’ Iehovày.
And David could not go to the altar there to pray to God: for he was seized with an exceeding great fear, seeing the sword of the angel of the Lord.
