2 Hamuera 24

1 Na ka mura ano te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a ka whakatutehu ia i a Rawiri ki te he mo ratou, ki te mea, Tikina, taua a Iharaira raua ko Hura.

And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.

2 Na ko te kianga a te kingi ki a Ioapa ki te rangatira ope, i reira ia i a ia, Tena, haereerea nga iwi katoa o Iharaira mai o Rana a tae noa ki Peerehepa, ka tatau i te iwi, kia mohio ai ahau ki te toputanga o te iwi.

For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which [was] with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.

3 Ano ra ko Ioapa ki te kingi, Ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua e mea te iwi kia tatakirau noa atu i to ratou tokomaha i a ratou nei, a kia kite hoki nga kanohi o toku ariki, o te kingi: otiia he aha toku ariki, te kingi i ahuareka ai ki tenei mea?

And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see [it: ] but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?

4 He ahakoa ra, u tonu te kupu a te kingi ki a Ioapa ratou ko nga rangatira ope. Na haere atu ana a Ioapa ratou ko nga rangatira ope i te aroaro o te kingi ki te tatau i te iwi, i a Iharaira.

Notwithstanding the king’s word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.

5 Na ka whiti ratou i Horano, ka noho ki Aroere, ki te taha ki matau o te pa i waenganui o te awaawa o Kara, a tae noa ki Iatere:

And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that [lieth] in the midst of the river of Gad, and toward Jazer:

6 Katahi ka tae ratou ki Kireara, ki te whenua o Tahatimihorohi, a ka tae ki Ranaiaana a awhio haere ana ki Hairona;

Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and about to Zidon,

7 A ka tae ki te pa kaha ki Taira, ki nga pa katoa o nga Hiwi, o nga Kanaani: a puta ana ratou ki te tonga o Hura, ki Peerehepa.

And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, [even] to Beer-sheba.

8 Na, ka oti te whenua katoa te haereere e ratou, ka tae ratou ki Hiruharama i te paunga o nga marama e iwa, o nga ra e rua tekau.

So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

9 Na ka homai e Ioapa te toputanga o te iwi i taua ki te kingi: a e waru rau mano nga marohirohi i roto i a Iharaira, he hunga mau hoari; a e rima rau mano nga tangata o Hura.

And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah [were] five hundred thousand men.

10 Na ka patu te ngakau o Rawiri i a ia i muri i tana tauanga i te iwi. A ka mea a Rawiri ki a Ihowa, Nui atu toku hara i taku i mea nei: na, tena, kia whakarerea noatia iho, e Ihowa, te he o tau pononga; nui atu hoki te kuware o taku i mea ai.

And David’s heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

11 Na, i te marangatanga ake o Rawiri i te ata, ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Kara poropiti, ki ta Rawiri matakite, i mea ia,

For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,

12 Haere, mea atu ki a Rawiri, ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, E toru nga mea ka whakaaria e ahau ki a koe; whiriwhiria e koe tetahi o aua mea, a ka meatia e ahau ki a koe.

Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three [things; ] choose thee one of them, that I may [do it] unto thee.

13 Heoi ka tae a Kara ki a Rawiri, a ka korero ki a ia, ka mea, Kia tae atu ranei ki a koe etahi tau matekai e whitu ki tou whenua? kia toru ranei nga marama e rere ai koe i te aroaro o ou hoariri, me ta ratou whai ano i a koe? kia toru ranei nga r a o te mate uruta ki tou whenua? Na whakaaroa e koe kia kitea ai taku kupu e whakahoki ai ki toku kaitono mai.

So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days’ pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.

14 Ano ra ko Rawiri ki a Kara, he noa iho oku whakaaro: na kia taka tatou aianei ki roto ki te ringa o Ihowa, he nui hoki ana mahi tohu; a kaua ahau e taka ki te ringa o te tangata.

And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies [are] great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.

15 Heoi whakapangia ana e Ihowa he mate uruta ki a Iharaira, o te ata iho ano a taea noatia te wa i whakaritea: a mate ake o te iwi, o Rana a tae noa ki Peerehepa, e whitu tekau mano tangata.

So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.

16 A, no te toronga atu o te ringa o te anahera ki Hiruharama whakangaro ai, ka puta ke to Ihowa whakaaro mo te kino, a ka mea ia ki te anahera e whakangaro ana i te iwi, Kua nui tenei: kati tou ringa. A, i te patunga witi a Arauna Iepuhi, te anahe ra a Ihowa.

And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.

17 I korero hoki a Rawiri ki a Ihowa i tona kitenga i te anahera i patua ai te iwi, i mea, Ina, kua hara ahau, kua mahi i te mahi he: ko enei hipi ia, i aha ratou? Tena, kia pa tou ringa ki ahau, ki te whare ano o toku papa.

And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father’s house.

18 Na ka haere a Kara ki a Rawiri i taua ra, a ka mea ki a ia, Haere ki runga, whakaarahia he aata ki a Ihowa ki te patunga witi a Arauna Iepuhi.

And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.

19 Na whakatika ana a Rawiri, pera ana me te kupu a Kara, me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai.

And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.

20 A ka titiro atu a Arauna, ka kite i te kingi ratou ko ana tangata e haere mai ana ki a ia: na ka puta atu a Arauna, piko ana ki te kingi, ahu ana tona mata ki te whenua.

And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.

21 Na ka mea a Arauna, He aha toku ariki, te kingi, i haere mai ai ki tana pononga? Na ka mea a Rawiri, Ki te hoki i tau patunga witi, kia hanga ai he aata ki a Ihowa, kia mutu ai te whiunga o te iwi.

And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.

22 Na ka mea a Arauna ki a Rawiri, Me tango e toku ariki, e te kingi, me whakaeke te mea e pai ana ki tana titiro: nana, nga kau hei tahunga tinana, me nga patu witi, me nga mea o nga kau hei wahie!

And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what [seemeth] good unto him: behold, [here be] oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and [other] instruments of the oxen for wood.

23 Ko enei katoa, e te kingi, e hoatu ana e Arauna ki te kingi. I mea ano a Arauna ki te kingi, Kia manako a Ihowa, tou Atua ki a koe

All these [things] did Araunah, [as] a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.

24 Na ka mea te kingi ki a Arauna, Kahore, engari me ata hoki e ahau tou wahi ki te utu, e kore hoki e whakaherea e ahau he tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa, ki toku Atua, kahore i utua e ahau. Heoi hokona ana e Rawiri taua patunga witi me nga kau ki te h iriwa, e rima tekau hekere.

And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy [it] of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

25 A hanga ana e Rawiri he aata ki reira ma Ihowa, whakaekea ana e ia etahi tahunga tinana me etahi whakahere mo te pai. Heoi ka marie a Ihowa ki te whenua, a ka mutu te mate uruta ki a Iharaira.

And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
