2 Samuel 24
1 And again was the anger of Yahweh kindled against Israel, —so that he suffered David to be moved against them, saying, Go, count Israel and Judah.
Aariin Waaqayyoo ammas Israaʼelitti kaʼee Daawitiin, “Dhaqiitii Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa lakkaaʼi” jedhee isaanitti kakaase.
2 The king, therefore, said unto Joab, captain of the force, who was with him—Go to and fro, I pray thee, throughout all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even unto Beer -sheba, and number ye the people, —so shall I know the sum of the people.
Kanaafuu mootichi Yooʼaabii fi ajajjoota waraanaa kanneen isa bira turaniin, “Akka ani akka isaan hammam akka baayʼatan beekuu dandaʼuuf gosoota Israaʼel kanneen Daanii hamma Bersheebaatti jiraatan hunda keessa deemaatii namoota loluu dandaʼan galmeessaa” jedhe.
3 Then said Joab unto the king—Yea, Yahweh thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold, and [suffer] the eyes of my lord the king, to see it, —but, my lord the king, wherefore doth he find pleasure in this thing?
Yooʼaab garuu deebisee, “Waaqayyo Waaqni kee loltoota kee dachaa dhibba caalaa haa baayʼisu; iji gooftaa koo mootichaas waan kana haa argu. Garuu gooftaan koo mootichi maaliif waan kana gochuu barbaade?” jedhe.
4 Notwithstanding, the word of the king prevailed against Joab, and over the captains of the force, —so Joab went forth, with the captains of the force, before the king, to number the people—Israel.
Taʼus dubbiin mootichaa Yooʼaabii fi ajajjoota loltootaa yaada geeddarachiise; kanaafuu isaan fuula mootichaa duraa baʼanii namoota Israaʼel kanneen loluu dandaʼan galmeessuu deeman.
5 And they passed over the Jordan, —and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city, that is in the midst of the ravine of Gad, even towards Jazer.
Isaanis erga Yordaanos ceʼanii booddee gara kibba magaalaa sulula keessatti argamuutiin Aroʼeer bira qubatan; achii immoo Gaad keessa darbanii Yaʼizeeritti qajeelan.
6 Thus came they to Gilead, and unto the land of Tahtim-hodshi, —and came to Dan-jaan, and round about Zidon;
Isaanis gara Giliʼaadii fi Tabaason Adasaay, itti aansanii gara Daan yaaʼanii achii immoo naannaʼanii Siidoonaa dhaqan.
7 and entered the fortress of Tyre, and all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites, —and they went out to the South of Judah, even to Beer-sheba.
Ergasii immoo gara Daʼannoo Xiiroos, gara magaalaawwan Hiiwotaatii fi Kanaʼaanotaa hundaa dhaqan. Dhuma irratti immoo gara Bersheebaa kan kibba Yihuudaatti argamtu sanaa dhaqan.
8 So, when they had gone to and fro throughout all the land, they came, at the end of nine months and twenty days, unto Jerusalem.
Isaanis erga guutummaa biyyattii keessa naannaʼanii booddee jiʼa sagalii fi bultii digdamaatti Yerusaalemitti deebiʼan.
9 And Joab delivered up the sum of the number of the people, unto the king, —and there were found to be, in Israel, eight hundred thousand men of valour, drawing the sword, —and, the men of Judah, five hundred thousand men.
Yooʼaabis lakkoobsa namoota loluu dandaʼanii mootichatti hime; Israaʼel keessa namoota lolaaf gaʼumsa qaban kanneen goraadee qabachuu dandaʼan kuma dhibba saddeeti, Yihuudaa keessa immoo namoota kuma dhibba shanitu ture.
10 And the heart of David smote him, after he had reckoned up the people, —and David said unto Yahweh—I have sinned greatly, in what I have done, Now, therefore, O Yahweh, take away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done very foolishly.
Daawit waan erga loltoota lakkaaʼee booddee balleessaan itti dhagaʼameef Waaqayyoon, “Ani waan hojjedhe keessatti cubbuu guddaa hojjedheera. Yaa Waaqayyo, ani akka ati balleessaa garbicha keetii dhiiftuuf sin kadhadha. Ani hojii gowwummaa guddaa hojjedheeraa” jedhe.
11 And, when David arose in the morning, the word of Yahweh, had come unto Gad the prophet, the seer of David, saying:
Guyyaa itti aanutti utuu Daawit hirribaa hin kaʼin ergaan Waaqayyoo gara waa himaa Daawit gara Gaad raajichaa dhufe; ergaan sunis,
12 Go and speak unto David—Thus, saith Yahweh, Three things, do I offer thee, —choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
“Dhaqiitii Daawitiin, ‘Waaqayyo akkana siin jedha: Ani filannoo sadii siifin kenna; akka ani isa sitti fiduuf isaan keessaa tokko filadhu’ jedhi” jedha.
13 So Gad came in unto David, and told him, —and said to him: Shall there come unto thee seven years of famine in thy land? Or, for three months, wilt thou flee before thine enemies while, they, pursue thee? Or shall there be, for three days, pestilence in thy land? Now, consider and see, what, answer, I shall return to him that sent me.
Kanaafuu Gaad gara Daawit dhaqee, “Waggaa torba biyya kee irra beelli haa buʼuu? Yookaan diinonni kee jiʼa sadiif si haa ariʼanii? Yookaan dhaʼichi guyyaa sadii biyya kee haa dhaʼuu? Egaa amma itti yaadiitii waan ani isa na erge sanaaf deebisu murteessi” jedheen.
14 And David said unto Gad—I am in a great strait, —let us fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Yahweh, for, manifold, are, his compassions, but, into the hand of man, let me not fall.
Daawit immoo Gaadiin, “Ani akka malee dhiphadheera. Waan araarri isaa guddaa taʼeef nu harka Waaqayyoo haa seennu; garuu akka ani harka namaa seenu hin godhin” jedhe.
15 So Yahweh sent forth a pestilence throughout Israel, from the morning even unto the time appointed, —and there died of the people, from Dan even unto Beer-sheba, seventy thousand men.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo guyyaa itti aanu ganamaa jalqabee hamma guyyaan murtaaʼe raawwatutti Israaʼelitti dhaʼicha fide; Daanii hamma Bersheebaatti namoonni kumni torbaatamni ni dhuman.
16 But, when the messenger stretched out his hand towards Jerusalem, to destroy it, then relented Yahweh as to the evil, and he said to the messenger who was destroying the people—Enough! now, stay thy hand. And, the messenger of Yahweh, was by the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Yeroo ergamaan Waaqayyoo Yerusaalemin balleessuuf harka isaa diriirfatetti Waaqayyo sababii hubaatiin sun isa gaddisiiseef ergamaa isaa kan saba balleessuuf ture sanaan, “Ni gaʼa! Harka kee deebifadhu” jedhe. Yeroo sana ergamaan Waaqayyoo oobdii Arawunaa namicha gosa Yebuus sanaa bira ture.
17 Then said David unto Yahweh, when he saw the messenger who was smiting the people, yea he said—Lo! I, have sinned, and, I, have done perversely, but what have, these sheep, done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against the house of my father!
Daawit yommuu ergamaa Waaqayyoo kan namoota ajjeesaa ture sana argetti, Waaqayyoon, “Namni cubbuu fi balleessaa hojjete anuma. Isaan kunneen garuu hoolotaa dha. Isaan maal godhan? Harki kee anaa fi maatii koo irra haa buʼu” jedhe.
18 And Gad came unto David, on that day, —and said unto him—Go up, rear thou unto Yahweh an altar, in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Gaafas Gaad gara Daawit dhaqee, “Ol baʼiitii oobdii Arawunaa namicha gosa Yebuus sanaa keessatti iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoof ijaari” jedheen.
19 So David went up, according to the word of Gad, as Yahweh had commanded.
Kanaafuu Daawit akkuma Waaqayyo karaa Gaadiin isa ajajetti ol baʼe.
20 And Araunah looked out, and saw the king, and his servants, passing over unto him—so Araunah went forth, and did homage unto the king, with his face to the ground.
Arawunaan yommuu milʼatee mootichaa fi namoota isaa kanneen gara isaa dhufaa jiran argetti, gad baʼee fuula mootichaa duratti addaan lafatti gombifamee sagade.
21 Then said Araunah, Wherefore, hath my lord the king come unto his servant? And David said—To buy of thee the threshing-floor, to build an altar unto Yahweh, that the plague may be stayed from off the people.
Arawunaanis, “Gooftaan koo mootichi maaliif gara garbicha isaa dhufe?” jedhe. Daawit immoo, “Ani akka dhaʼichi saba irra buʼe kun dhaabatuuf, oobdii kee bitee isa irratti iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoof tolchuufin dhufe” jedhee deebise.
22 Then said Araunah unto David, Let my lord the king accept it and cause to ascend what is good in his own eyes, —see! the oxen for the ascending-sacrifice, and the threshing-sledges and ox-yokes for wood.
Arawunaanis Daawitiin akkana jedhe; “Gooftaan koo mootichi waan isatti tolu kam iyyuu fudhatee haa dhiʼeessu. Aarsaa gubamuuf sangoonni kunoo ti; qoraaniif immoo miʼi ittiin midhaan dhaʼamuu fi waanjoon sangaa as jira.
23 The whole, did Araunah give, as a king to a king. And Araunah said unto the king, Yahweh thy God, accept thee!
Yaa mootii, Arawunaan waan kana hunda mootichaaf ni kenna.” Akkasumas Arawunaan, “Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif haa fudhatu” isaan jedhe.
24 But the king said unto Araunah—Nay! but I will, buy, it of thee, for a price, and will not cause to ascend unto Yahweh my God, offerings that have cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing-floor, and the oxen, for fifty shekels of silver;
Mootichi garuu, “Akkas miti; ani gatiidhaan sirraa bituu na barbaachisa. Ani waan gatii itti hin baasin Waaqayyo Waaqa kootiif aarsaa gubamu godhee hin dhiʼeessu” jedhee Arawunaaf deebise. Kanaafuu Daawit oobdichaa fi sangoota sana meetii saqilii shantamaan bite.
25 and David built there an altar unto Yahweh, and caused to go up ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings, —then was Yahweh entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
Daawitis achitti iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoof tolchee aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa nagaa dhiʼeesse. Waaqayyos kadhannaa waaʼee biyyattiif dhiʼaateef deebii kenne; dhaʼichis Israaʼel irraa ni deebiʼe.
