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.
Again the anger of Yahweh was ignited against Israel, and he moved David against them saying, “Go, count Israel and Judah.”
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.
The king said to Joab the commander of the army, who was with him, “Go throughout all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and count all the people, so that I may know the total number of men fit for battle.”
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?
Joab said to the king, “May Yahweh your God multiply the number of people a hundred times, and may the eyes of my master the king see it take place. But why does my master the king want this?”
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 king's word was final against Joab and against the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders went out from the king's presence to count the people of Israel.
5 Nitsake Iordaney iereo vaho nitobe e Aroere ao, ankavana’ i rova añivo’ i vavatane’ i Gade tandrife Iazerey;
They crossed over the Jordan and encamped near Aroer, south of the city in the valley. Then they traveled on through Gad to Jazer.
6 le niheo mb’e Gilade, naho mb’ an-tanen-Takime-kodsý, naho nivotrake e Dane-jaane, naho niary mb’e Tsidone mb’eo,
They came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi, then on to Dan Jaan and around toward 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.
They reached the stronghold of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and the Canaanites. Then they went out to the Negev in Judah at Beersheba.
8 Aa le nimb’eo mb’eo amy tane iabiy iereo vaho nivotrake e Ierosalaime ao, ie nahamodo sive volañe mitovoñ’ andro roa-polo.
When they had gone throughout all the land, they came back to 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.
Then Joab reported the total of the count of the fighting men to the king. There were in Israel 800,000 brave men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were 500,000 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.
Then David's heart afflicted him after he had counted the men. So he said to Yahweh, “I have greatly sinned by doing this. Now, Yahweh, take away your servant's guilt, for I have acted very foolishly.”
11 Ie nitroatse maraindray t’i Davide le niheo amy Gade mpitoky, i mpitoki’ i Davidey, ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
When David rose up in the morning, the word of Yahweh came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
12 Akia saontsio Amy Davide: Inao ty tsara’ Iehovà: Hitolorako telo; joboño ty hanoako.
“Go say to David: 'This is what Yahweh says: “I am giving you three choices. Choose one of them.”'”
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.
So Gad went to David and said to him, “Will three years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months from your enemies while they pursue you? Or will there be three days of plague in your land? Now decide what answer I should return to him who 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.
Then David said to Gad, “I am in deep trouble. Let us fall into Yahweh's hands rather than into the hand of man, for his merciful actions are very great.”
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 Yahweh sent a plague on Israel from the morning to a fixed time, and seventy thousand people died from Dan to Beersheba.
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.
When the angel reached out with his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, Yahweh changed his mind because of the harm it would cause, and he said to the angel who was destroying people, “Enough! Now draw back your hand.” At that time the angel of Yahweh was standing at the threshing floor of Araunah 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.
Then David spoke to Yahweh when he saw the angel who had attacked the people, and said, “I have sinned, and I have acted perversely. But these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand punish me and my father's family!”
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.
Then Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar for Yahweh at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
19 Aa le nionjoñe mb’eo t’i Davide amy tsara’ Iehovà tinaro’ i Gadey.
So David went up as Gad instructed him to do, as Yahweh had commanded.
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,
Araunah looked out and saw the king and his servants approaching. So Araunah went out and bowed to the king with his face to the ground.
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.
Then Araunah said, “Why has my master the king come to me, his servant?” David replied, “To buy your threshing floor, so I can build an altar for Yahweh, so that the plague may be removed from 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.
Araunah said to David, “Take it as your own, my master the king. Do with it what is good in your sight. Look, here are oxen for the burnt offering and threshing sledges and ox yokes for the 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.
All this, my king, I, Araunah, will give to you.” Then he said to the king, “May Yahweh your God accept 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;
The king said to Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it at a price. I will not offer as a burnt offering to Yahweh anything that costs me nothing.” So David bought 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.
David built an altar for Yahweh there and offered on it burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. So Yahweh answered the prayer on behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was confined.
