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 Yahweh’s anger burned 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 captain of the army, who was with him, “Now go back and forth through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the sum 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?
Joab said to the king, “Now may Yahweh your God add to the people, however many they may be, one hundred times; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king delight in 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.
Notwithstanding, the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the captains of the army. Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king 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 passed over the Jordan and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and 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,
then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; and they came to Dan Jaan and around to 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 came to the stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites; and they went out to the south of 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.
So when they had gone back and forth through all the land, they came 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.
Joab gave up the sum of the counting of the people to the king; and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand 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.
David’s heart struck him after he had counted the people. David said to Yahweh, “I have sinned greatly in that which I have done. But now, Yahweh, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done 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, Yahweh’s word came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,
12 Akia saontsio Amy Davide: Inao ty tsara’ Iehovà: Hitolorako telo; joboño ty hanoako.
“Go and speak to David, ‘Yahweh says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may 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.
So Gad came to David, and told him, saying, “Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ pestilence in your land? Now answer, and consider what answer I shall 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.
David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let us fall now into Yahweh’s hand, for his mercies are great. Let me not fall into man’s hand.”
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 pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the appointed time; and seventy thousand men died of the people from Dan even 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 stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, Yahweh relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” Yahweh’s angel was by 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.
David spoke to Yahweh when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, “Behold, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me, and against 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.
Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up, build an altar to Yahweh on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
19 Aa le nionjoñe mb’eo t’i Davide amy tsara’ Iehovà tinaro’ i Gadey.
David went up according to the saying of Gad, as Yahweh 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 coming on toward him. Then Araunah went out and bowed himself before 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.
Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” David said, “To buy your threshing floor, to build an altar to Yahweh, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting 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, “Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Behold, the cattle for the burnt offering, and the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen 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, O king, does Araunah give to the king.” Araunah 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, but I will most certainly buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to Yahweh my God which cost 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 to Yahweh there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So Yahweh was entreated for the land, and the plague was removed from Israel.
