1[Ny nanisana ny vahoaka, sy ny aretina nanjo ny olona noho izany, ary ny fifonana nataon'i Davida] Ary Satana nitsangana hampidi-doza tamin'ny Isiraely ka nanome saina an'i Davida hanisa ny Isiraely.
1And there standeth up an adversary against Israel, and persuadeth David to number Israel,
2Dia hoy Davida tamin'i Joaba sy tamin'ireo lehiben'ny vahoaka: Mandehana, isao ny Isiraely hatrany Beri-sheba ka hatrany Dana; ary ento atỳ amiko ny isany mba ho fantatro.
2And David saith unto Joab, and unto the heads of the people, `Go, number Israel from Beer-Sheba even unto Dan, and bring unto me, and I know their number.`
3Fa hoy Joaba: Jehovah anie hampitombo ny olony ho injato toy izao na firy na firy izy; fa moa tsy mpanompon'ny tompoko izy rehetra, ry mpanjaka tompoko? Koa inona indray no itadiavan'ny tompoko izany zavatra izany? Nahoana no dia hampahadiso ny Isiraely?
3And Joab saith, `Jehovah doth add to His people as they are a hundred times; are they not, my lord, O king, all of them to my lord for servants? why doth my lord seek this? why is he for a cause of guilt to Israel?`
4Nefa tsy azon'i Joaba nolavina ny tenin'ny mpanjaka; ka dia niainga izy ka nitety ny Isiraely rehetra; dia tonga tany Jerosalema indray izy.
4And the word of the king [is] severe against Joab, and Joab goeth out, and goeth up and down in all Israel, and cometh in to Jerusalem.
5Ary natolotr'i Joaba an'i Davida ny isan'ny olona voalamina, ka nisy iray hetsy sy iray tapitrisa ny lehilahy mahatan-tsabatra teo amin'ny Isiraely; ary fito alina sy efatra hetsy ny lehilahy mahatan-tsabatra teo amin'ny Joda.
5And Joab giveth the account of the numbering of the people unto David, and all Israel is a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand, each drawing sword, and Judah [is] four hundred and seventy thousand, each drawing sword.
6Fa ny Levy sy ny Benjamina tsy mba nalaminy, satria fahavetavetana tamin'i Joaba ny tenin'ny mpanjaka.
6And Levi and Benjamin he hath not numbered in their midst, for the word of the king was abominable with Joab.
7Ary tsy sitrak'Andriamanitra izany zavatra izany; ka dia namely ny Isiraely Izy.
7And it is evil in the eyes of God concerning this thing, and He smiteth Israel,
8Ary hoy Davida tamin'Andriamanitra; Efa nanota indrindra aho tamin'izao nataoko izao; koa ankehitriny, mifona aminao aho, esory ny heloky ny mpanomponao, fa efa nanao fahadalana lehibe tokoa aho.
8and David saith unto God, `I have sinned exceedingly, in that I have done this thing; and now, cause to pass away, I pray Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant, for I have acted very foolishly.`
9Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Gada mpahitan'i Davida:
9And Jehovah speaketh unto Gad, seer of David, saying:
10Mandehana, ka lazao amin'i Davida hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Zavatra telo loha no apetrako eto anoloanao, koa fidio izay iray hataoko aminao.
10`Go, and thou hast spoken unto David, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Three — I am stretching out unto thee; choose for thee one of these, and I do [it] to thee.`
11Ary Gada nankany amin'i Davida ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Mifidia:
11And Gad cometh in unto David, and saith to him, `Thus said Jehovah, Take for thee —
12Mosary telo taona va? Sa fandringanana eo alohan'ny fahavalonao telo volana, raha tratry ny sabatry ny fahavalonao ianao? Sa ny sabatr'i Jehovah, dia areti-mandringana, no hamely ny tany hateloana, ka Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah handringana eran'ny tanin'ny Isiraely rehetra? Koa hevero tsara izay valiny ho entiko miverina any amin'Izay naniraka ahy.
12either for three years — famine, or three months to be consumed from the face of thine adversaries, even the sword of thine enemies to overtake, or three days the sword of Jehovah, even pestilence in the land, and a messenger of Jehovah destroying in all the border of Israel; and now, see; what word do I return to Him who is sending me?`
13Ary hoy Davida tamin'i Gada: Indrisy! poritra loatra aho! nefa aleoko ho azon'ny tànan'i Jehovah, fa lehibe ny famindram-pony toy izay ho azon'izay tànan'olona.
13And David saith unto Gad, `I am greatly distressed, let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah, for very many [are] His mercies, and into the hand of man let me not fall.`
14Dia nasian'i Jehovah areti-mandringana ny Isiraely ka nahafatesana fito alina izy.
14And Jehovah giveth a pestilence in Israel, and there fall of Israel seventy thousand men,
15Ary Andriamanitra naniraka Anjely hankany Jerosalema handrava azy; ary raha ilay mbola nandrava iny Izy, dia nijery Jehovah ka nanenina ny amin'ny loza ka nanao tamin'Ilay Anjely nandrava hoe: Aoka izay! Atsaharo ny tananao ankehitriny. Ary Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah nitsangana teo anilan'ny famoloan'i Araona Jebosita.
15and God sendeth a messenger to Jerusalem to destroy it, and as he is destroying Jehovah hath seen, and is comforted concerning the evil, and saith to the messenger who [is] destroying, `Enough, now, cease thy hand.` And the messenger of Jehovah is standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite,
16Ary Davida nanopy ny masony ka nahita Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah nitsangana teo anelanelan'ny tany sy ny lanitra sady nitana sabatra voatsoaka teny an-tanany, izay natondrony manandrify an'i Jerosalema. Dia niankohoka Davida sy ny loholon'ny Isiraely, izay efa samy nitafy lamba fisaonana.[Heb. lamba malailay]
16and David lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the messenger of Jehovah standing between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem, and David falleth, and the elders, covered with sackcloth, on their faces.
17Ary hoy Davida tamin'Andriamanitra: Tsy izaho va no nandidy hanisa ny vahoaka? Izaho no nanota sy nanao ratsy tokoa; fa ireo ondry ireo kosa, inona moa no mba nataony? Eny, Jehovah Andriamanitro ô, mifona aminao re aho, aoka ny tananao hamely ahy sy ny mpianakavin'ny raiko, fa aza ny olonao no asianao amin'ny areti-mandringana.
17And David saith unto God, `Did not I — I say to number the people? Yea, I it [is] who have sinned, and done great evil: and these, the flock, what did they? O Jehovah, my God, let, I pray Thee, Thy hand be on me, and on the house of my father, and not on Thy people — to be plagued.`
18Ary Gada nasain'Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah hilaza amin'i Davida mba hiakatra hanangana alitara ho an'i Jehovah ao amin'ny famoloan'i Araona Jebosita.
18And the messenger of Jehovah spake unto Gad, saying for David, `Surely David doth go up to raise an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.`
19Koa dia niakatra Davida araka ny tenin'i Gada, izay nolazainy tamin'ny anaran'i Jehovah.
19And David goeth up by the word of Gad, that he spake in the name of Jehovah.
20Ary Araona niherika ka nahita Ilay Anjely; ary ny zanany efa-dahy izay teo aminy dia niery. Ary Araona nively vary tao tamin'izay.
20And Ornan turneth back, and seeth the messenger, and his four sons [are] with him, hiding themselves, and Ornan is threshing wheat.
21Ary nony tonga teo amin'i Araona Davida, dia nijery Araona ka nahita an'i Davida, ary dia niala avy teo amin'ny famoloana izy ka niankohoka tamin'ny tany teo anatrehan'i Davida.
21And David cometh in unto Ornan, and Ornan looketh attentively, and seeth David, and goeth out from the threshing-floor, and boweth himself to David — face to the earth.
22Ary hoy Davida tamin'i Araona: Mba omeo ahy amin'izay tokom-bidiny ity famoloana ity hanorenako alitara ho an'i Jehovah; omeo ahy izy, mba hitsaharan'ny areti-mandringana tsy hamely ny vahoaka.
22And David saith unto Ornan, `Give to me the place of the threshing-floor, and I build in it an altar to Jehovah; for full silver give it to me, and the plague is restrained from the people.`
23Fa hoy Araona tamin'i Davida: Ento ary ho anao, ary aoka ny mpanjaka tompoko hanao izay sitrany; indro, omeko koa ny omby ho fanatitra dorana ary ny fivelezam-bary ho kitay ary ny vary tritika ho fanatitra hohanina; foiko avokoa izy rehetra.
23And Ornan saith unto David, `Take to thee — and my lord the king doth that which is good in his eyes: see, I have given the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for a present; the whole I have given.`
24Fa hoy Davida mpanjaka tamin'i Araona: Tsia, fa hovidiko mihitsy araka izay tokom-bidiny; fa tsy haka izay anao ho an'i Jehovah aho ary tsy hanatitra fanatitra dorana amin'izay azoko fotsiny.
24And king David saith to Ornan, `Nay, for I surely buy for full silver; for I do not lift up that which is thine to Jehovah, so as to offer a burnt-offering without cost.`
25Dia nomen'i Davida sekely volamena lanjan'enin-jato Araona ho vidin'ny tany.
25And David giveth to Ornan for the place shekels of gold [in] weight six hundred;
26Ary Davida nanorina alitara teo ho an'i Jehovah ka nanatitra fanatitra dorana sy fanati-pihavanana; dia niantso an'i Jehovah izy ka novaliany tamin'ny afo avy tany an-danitra, izay latsaka teo amin'ny alitara fandoroana ny fanatitra dorana.
26and David buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and offereth burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and calleth unto Jehovah, and He answereth him with fire from the heavens on the altar of the burnt-offering.
27Ary Jehovah nandidy Ilay Anjely, ka dia nampidiriny tamin'ny tranony ny sabany.
27And Jehovah saith to the messenger, and he turneth back his sword unto its sheath.
28Tamin'izany andro izany, nony hitan'i Davida fa novalian'i Jehovah teo amin'ny famoloan'i Araona Jebosita izy, dia namono zavatra hatao fanatitra teo izy.
28At that time when David seeth that Jehovah hath answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificeth there;
29Fa ny tabernakelin'i Jehovah izay nataon'i Mosesy tany an-efitra sy ny alitara fandoroana ny fanatitra dorana kosa dia teo amin'ny fitoerana avo tao Gibeona fahizay;nefa Davida tsy nahazo nankeo anoloan'izany hanontany amin'Andriamanitra; fa raiki-tahotra izy noho ny sabatr'Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah.
29and the tabernacle of Jehovah that Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt-offering, [are] at that time in a high place, in Gibeon;
30nefa Davida tsy nahazo nankeo anoloan'izany hanontany amin'Andriamanitra; fa raiki-tahotra izy noho ny sabatr'Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah.
30and David is not able to go before it to seek God, for he hath been afraid because of the sword of the messenger of Jehovah.
