2 Samoela 24

1 Nisolebotse am’ Israele indraike ty haviñera’ Iehovà, le nampitroboe’e amy nampanoeñe i Davide ty hoe: Akia, volilio ondaty e Israele naho e Iehodào.

And the Lord caused his anger to burn forth again in Israel, and [Satan] stirred up David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Juda.

2 Aa le hoe i mpanjakay am’ Ioabe mpifehe’ i valobohòkey, ie mpiama’ey: Akia henaneo, tsitsiho ze hene fifokoa’ Israele boake Dane pake Beere-sevà hamolily ondatio, hahafantarako ty ia’ ondatio.

And the king said to Joab commander of the host, who was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel and Juda, from Dan even to Bersabee, and number the people, and I will know the number of the people.

3 Le hoe t’Ioabe amy mpanjakay, Ehe ho tovoña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o in-jato ondatio, ndra t’ie fire-fire; vaho ho oni-pihainon-talèko mpanjaka; fa ino ty ifalean-talèko mpanjaka o raha zao?

And Joab said to the king, Now may the Lord add to the people a hundred-fold as many as they are, and [may] the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king desire this thing?

4 Fe nandrekets’ Ioabe naho o mpiaolo’ i valobohòkeio ty saontsi’ i mpanjakay. Aa le niavotse añatrefa’ i mpanjakay t’Ioabe naho o mpiaolo’ i valobohòkeio, hamolily ondati’ Israeleo.

Nevertheless the word of the king prevailed against Joab an the captains of the host: And Joab and the captains of the host went out before the king to number the people of Israel.

5 Nitsake Iordaney iereo vaho nitobe e Aroere ao, ankavana’ i rova añivo’ i vavatane’ i Gade tandrife Iazerey;

And they went over Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right of the city which is in the midst of the valley of Gad and Eliezer.

6 le niheo mb’e Gilade, naho mb’ an-tanen-Takime-kodsý, naho nivo­trake e Dane-jaane, naho niary mb’e Tsidone mb’eo,

And they came to Galaad, and into the land of Thabason, which is Adasai, and they came to Danidan and Udan, and compassed Sidon.

7 naho niheo mb’amy rova aman-kijoli’ i Tsorey, naho mb’amo hene rova’ o nte-Kivìo naho o nte-Khanàneo naho nimb’ atimo’ Iehoda mb’e Beere-sevà mb’eo.

And they came to Mapsar of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Evite and the Chananite: and they came by the South of Juda to Bersabee.

8 Aa le nimb’eo mb’eo amy tane iabiy iereo vaho nivo­trake e Ierosalaime ao, ie nahamodo sive volañe mitovoñ’ andro roa-polo.

And they compassed the whole land; and they arrived at Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

9 Natolo’ Ioabe amy mpanjakay i iake namoliliañe do’ey, le valo hetse t’in­daty manjofake, mpitàm-pibara e Israele ao, le lime-hetse ty lahilahi’ Iehoda.

And Joab gave in the number of the census of the people to the king: and Israel consisted of eight hundred thousand men of might that drew sword; and the men of Juda, five hundred thousand fighting men.

10 Aa ie fa nañiake ondatio t’i Davide le namofok’ aze ty arofo’e. Le hoe t’i Davide amy Iehovà; ra’elahy ty hakeoko amy nanoekoy; fe amy zao ry Iehovà, miambane ama’o, apoho ty tahi’ o mpitoro’oo amy hagegeañe nanoekoy.

And the heart of David struck him after he had numbered the people; and David said to the Lord, I have sinned grievously, O Lord, [in] what I have now done: remove, I pray you, the iniquity of your servant, for I have been exceedingly foolish.

11 Ie nitroatse maraindray t’i Davide le niheo amy Gade mpitoky, i mpitoki’ i Davidey, ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:

And David rose early in the morning, and the word of the Lord came to the prophet Gad, the seer, saying, Go, and speak to David, saying,

12 Akia saontsio Amy Davide: Inao ty tsara’ Iehovà: Hitolorako telo; joboño ty hanoako.

Thus says the Lord, I bring [one of] three things upon you: now choose you one of them, and I will do [it] to you.

13 Aa le nimb’ amy Davide mb’eo t’i Gade le nanoa’e ty hoe: Hivo­traha’ ty san-kerè fito taoñe an-tane’o ao? hera hitriban-day telo volan-drehe añatrefan-drafelahi’o mañoridañe azo? ke ho telo andro an-tane’o ao ty angorosy? Mivetse­vetsea, vaho itsa­koreo ty vale’e habaliko amy nañirak’ ahiy.

And Gad went in to David, and told him, and said to him, Choose [one of these things] to befall you, whether there shall come upon you [for] three years famine in your land; or that you should flee three months before your enemies, and they should pursue you; or that there should be [for] three days mortality in your land. Now then decide, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.

14 Aa le hoe t’i Davide amy Gade, vata’e ampoheke iraho; hamake hihotrak’ am-pità’ Iehovà tika henaneo; fa ra’elahy ty fifere­naiña’e; le ko anga’o hikorovok’ am-pitá’ ondaty.

And David said to Gad, On every side I am much straitened: let me fall now into the hands of the Lord, for his compassions [are] very many; and let me not fall into the hands of man.

15 Aa le nirahe’ Iehovà am’ Israele mifototse amy maraiñey am-para’ i namantañañey ty angorosy; le fito-ale t’indaty nihomake boake Dane pake Beere-sevà añe.

So David chose for himself the mortality: and [they were] the days of wheat harvest; and the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from morning till noon, and the plague began amongst the people; and there died of the people from Dan even to Bersabee seventy thousand men.

16 Aa ie nañity fitañe mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo hamongora’e aze, i anjeliy, le najihe’ Iehovà i hankàñey, vaho nanoe’e ty hoe amy anjely nanjamañe ondatioy, Soa izay, ajihero ty fità’o. Ie amy izay tan-toem-pifofoha’ i Araonà nte-Iebose i anjeli’ Iehovày.

And the angel of the Lord stretched out his hand against Jerusalem to destroy it, and the Lord repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, [It is] enough now, withhold your hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.

17 Le hoe t’i Davide am’ Iehovà, ie nahaoniñe i anjely nampibaibay ondatioy: Toe nanao hakeo iraho, izaho ty nanao i hamengohañey; fa o añondry retoañe, ino ty nanoe’ iereo? Mihalaly ama’o, lonik’ abey te ho amako naho añ’ anjomban-draeko ty fità’o.

And David spoke to the Lord when he saw the angel striking the people, and he said, Behold, it is I that have done wrong, but these sheep what have they done? Let your hand, I pray you, be upon me, and upon my father's house.

18 Aa le niheo mb’amy Davide mb’eo amy àndroy t’i Gade, nanao ty hoe ama’e, ampitroaro kitrely an-toem-pifofoha’ i Araonà nte-Iebose eo t’Iehovà.

And Gad came to David in that day, and said to him, Go up, and set up to the Lord and altar in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.

19 Aa le nionjoñe mb’eo t’i Davide amy tsara’ Iehovà tinaro’ i Gadey.

And David went up according to the word of Gad, as the Lord commanded him.

20 Ie niandra t’i Araonà le nahaisake i mpanjakay naho o mpitoro’eo nimb’ama’e mb’eo, naho niavotse mb’eo t’i Araonà nibokobokok’ amy mpanjakay, niatre-tane ty lahara’e,

And Orna looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on before him: and Orna went forth, and did obeisance to the king with his face to the earth.

21 vaho hoe t’i Araona, Akore te nivo­trak’ amy mpitoro’ey ty talèko mpanjaka? Le hoe t’i Davide: Ty hikalo ama’o ty toem-pifofoha’o, handranjia’ay kitrely amy Iehovà, hampijihetse i angorosiy am’ondatio.

And Orna said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? and David said, To buy of you the threshing floor, in order to build an altar to the Lord that the plague may be restrained from off the people.

22 Le hoe t’i Araona amy Davide, Ee te ho rambese’ i talèko mpanjakay ze atao’e mahasoa ho enga’e; ingo o añombe hisoroñañeo naho o haraom-pamofohañeo vaho o jokan’ añombeo ho hatae’e.

And Orna said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer to the Lord that which is good in his eyes: behold, [here are] oxen for a whole burnt offering, and the wheels and furniture of the oxen for wood.

23 Ie iaby zao ty atolo’ i Araona amy mpanjakay. Natovo’ i Araona amy mpanjakay ty hoe, Ee t’ie ho no’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o.

Orna gave all to the king: and Orna said to the king, The Lord your God bless you.

24 Fe hoe i mpanjakay amy Araona, Aiy; tsy mete tsy hikaloako ami’ ty vili’e. Mbore tsy ho soroñeko am’ Iehovà Andrianañahareko ty tsy amam-bily. Aa le kinalo’ i Davide ami’ty sekele limam-polo i toem-pifofohañey naho o añombeo;

And the king said to Orna, Nay, but I will surely buy it of you at a fair price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God a whole burnt offering for nothing. So David purchased the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

25 teo ty nandranjia’ i Davide kitrely am’ Iehovà, le nisoroñe engan-koroañe naho engam-panintsiñañe. Izay ty nisolohoañe amy Iehovà i taney, nampijihetse i angorosiy am’Israele.

And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings: and Solomon made an addition to the altar afterwards, for it was little at first. And the Lord listened to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
