1 Tantara 21
1 Nitroatse am’ Israele amy zao i mpañinjey nañosike i Davide hañiake Israele.
Then the accuser stood 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 unto Joab and unto the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel, from Beer-sheba even unto Dan, —and bring [the report] unto me, that I may know the number of them.
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?
Then said Joab, May Yahweh add unto his people, as many as they are, a hundred times, but are they not, my lord O king, all of them my lord’s, as servants? wherefore should my lord seek this? wherefore should it become guilt 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 word of the king, prevailed against Joab, —and Joab departed, and went to and fro throughout all Israel, and came 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 Joab delivered the sum of the number of the people, unto David, —and all Israel was found to be a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men, who drew sword, and Judah, four hundred and seventy thousand men, who drew sword.
6 Fe tsy vinolily am’ iereo t’i Levý naho i Beniamine; amy te nampitorifike Ioabe ty saontsi’ i mpanjakay.
But, Levi and Benjamin, counted he not among them, —for detestable was the word of the king unto Joab.
7 Nihejen’Añahare i raha zay; le linafa’e t’Israele.
And it was displeasing in the eyes of God, concerning this thing, —therefore smote he 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 unto God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing, —but, now, I beseech thee, take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have shown myself very foolish.
9 Le nitsara amy Gade, mpitoki’ i Davide, t’Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
Then spake Yahweh unto 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 thou shalt speak unto David, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, Three things, do I offer thee, —choose thee one from among them, that I may do it unto 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,
So Gad came unto David, —and said to him, Thus, saith Yahweh,
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.
Choose thee: —Whether, for three years, [there be] famine, Or, for three months, that thou flee before thine adversaries, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee, Or, for three days, the sword of Yahweh, and pestilence be in the land, with, the messenger of Yahweh, laying waste throughout all the boundary of Israel, —Now, therefore, see, what, answer, I shall return unto him that 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 unto Gad, I am in a great strait, —Oh let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Yahweh, for abounding are his compassions, exceedingly, but, into the hand of man, let me not fall.
14 Aa le nirahe’ Iehovà am’ Israele ty angorosy; le ondaty fito-ale ty nitsingoritrìtse.
So Yahweh laid 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 God sent a messenger to Jerusalem, to lay it waste, but, as he was laying it waste, Yahweh looked, and relented concerning the calamity, and said unto the messenger who was laying waste, Enough! now, stay thy hand. And, the messenger of Yahweh, was standing by the threshing-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, when David lifted up his eyes, and saw the messenger of Yahweh, standing, between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn, in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem, then fell David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, upon their faces.
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 unto God, Was it not, I, who gave word to number the people? Yea, I, it was who sinned and did the great wrong, what then had, these sheep, done? O Yahweh, my God, let thy hand, I beseech thee, be against me, and against the house of my father, but not against, thy people, that they should be plagued!
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 messenger of Yahweh, commanded Gad, to say unto David, —that David should go up, to rear an altar unto Yahweh, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 Le nionjomb’eo t’i Davide ty amy nitaroña’ i Gade ami’ty tahina’ Iehovày.
So David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spake in the name of Yahweh.
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.
And Ornan turned, and saw the messenger, but, his four sons with him, were hiding themselves, —now, Ornan, had been threshing wheat.
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.
Then came David unto Ornan, —and Ornan looked, and saw David, and went forth out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself unto David, 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 unto Ornan, Grant me the place of the threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar, unto Yahweh, —for silver in full, shalt thou grant it me, that the plague may be stayed from off 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 unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do what is good in his own eyes, —see! I have given the oxen for ascending-sacrifices, and, the threshing implements for wood, and the wheat for a meal-offering, —the whole, have I given.
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.
Then said King David to Ornan, Nay! but I will, surely buy, it for silver in full, —for I will not take that which is thine for Yahweh, nor offer an ascending-sacrifice that hath cost me nothing.
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, —shekels of gold, by weight, six hundred.
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 David built there an altar unto Yahweh, and caused to go up ascending-sacrifices, and peace-offerings, —and called unto Yahweh, and he responded to him, by fire, out of the heavens, upon the altar of ascending-sacrifice.
27 Ie linili’ Iehovà i anjeliy le naombe’e an-kotra’e ao i fibara’ey.
And Yahweh gave word to tile messenger, and he put back his sword into its 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.
At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed 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 habitation of Yahweh, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of ascending-sacrifice, were, at that time, in the high place at Gibeon;
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 before it, to seek God, —for he had been terrified, because of the sword of the messenger of Yahweh.
