2 Samuel 24
1 And the anger of the Lord was again kindled against Israel, and stirred up David among them, saying: Go, number Israel and Juda.
Alò, kòlè SENYÈ a te brile ankò kont Israël e li te pwovoke David kont yo pou di: “Ale konte moun Israël avèk Juda yo.”
2 And the king said to Joab the general of his army: Go through all the tribes of Israel from Dan to Bersabee, and number ye the people that I may know the number of them.
Wa a te di a Joab, chèf lame ki te avèk li a: “Ale, koulye a, atravè tout tribi Israël yo, soti nan Dan jis rive Beer-Schéba e anrejistre pèp la pou m kab konnen nonb de moun yo.”
3 And Joab said to the king: The Lord thy God increase thy people, and make them as many more as they are now, and again multiply them a hundredfold in the sight of my lord the king: but what meaneth my lord the king by this kind of thing?
Men Joab te di a wa a: “Alò, ke SENYÈ a ta kapab ajoute san fwa anplis kantite moun ke yo ye a, pandan zye a mèt mwen an, wa a, kab toujou wè. Men poukisa mèt mwen an, wa a, twouve plezi nan bagay sila a?”
4 But the king’s words prevailed over the words of Joab, and of the captains of the army: and Joab, and the captains of the soldiers went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
Men pawòl a wa a te pran plas kont Joab, e kont chèf lame yo. Pou sa, Joab avèk chèf lame yo te sòti nan prezans wa a pou anrejistre pèp Israël la.
5 And when they had passed the Jordan, they came to Aroer to the right side of the city, which is in the vale of Gad.
Yo te travèse Jourdain an pou te fè kan Aroër, sou bò dwat vil la ki nan mitan vale Gad la, ak vè Jaezer.
6 And by Jazer they passed into Galaad, and to the lower land of Hodsi, and they came into the woodlands of Dan. And going about by Sidon,
Epi yo te vini Galaad, nan peyi Thachthim-Hodschi, yo te rive Danjaan ak kote Sidon an.
7 They passed near the walls of Tyre, and all the land of the Hevite, and the Chanaanite, and they came to the south of Juda into Bersabee:
Epi yo te rive nan fòterès Tyr la, nan tout vil a Evyen yo ak Kananeyen yo; epi yo te sòti nan sid Juda, nan Beer-Schéba.
8 And having gone through the whole land, after nine months and twenty days, they came to Jerusalem.
Konsa, lè yo te fin pase nan tout peyi a, yo te vini Jérusalem nan fen nèf mwa e ven jou.
9 And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people to the king, and there were found of Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword: and of Juda five hundred thousand fighting men.
Epi Joab te bay nimewo anrejistreman pèp la bay wa a. Te gen an Israël, ui-san-mil mesye vanyan ki te kapab rale nepe e mesye nan Juda yo te senk-san-mil.
10 But David’s heart struck him, after the people were numbered: and David said to the Lord: I have sinned very much in what I have done: but I pray thee, O Lord, to take away the iniquity of thy servant, because I have done exceeding foolishly.
Koulye a, kè David te vin twouble lè li te fin konte pèp la. Konsa, David te di a SENYÈ a: “Mwen te fè gwo peche nan sa mwen te fè a. Men koulye a, O SENYÈ, souple retire inikite a sèvitè Ou a, paske mwen te aji nan foli.”
11 And David arose in the morning, and the word of the Lord came to Gad the prophet and the seer of David, saying:
Lè David te leve nan maten, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a pwofèt Gad la, vwayan David la, e li te di:
12 Go, and say to David: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee thy choice of three things, choose one of them which thou wilt, that I may do it to thee.
“Ale pale avèk David: ‘Konsa SENYÈ a di: “Mwen ap ofri ou twa bagay; chwazi pou ou menm youn nan yo, pou m fè ou.”’”
13 And when Gad was come to David, he told him, saying: Either seven years of famine shall come to thee in thy land: or thou shalt flee three months before thy adversaries, and they shall pursue thee: or for three days there shall be a pestilence in thy land. Now therefore deliberate, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
Konsa, Gad te rive kote David e li te di li: “Èske sèt ane gwo grangou va rive ou nan peyi ou? Oswa èske ou va sove ale pandan twa mwa devan lènmi ou yo pandan y ap kouri dèyè ou? Oswa èske va gen twa jou gwo epidemi nan peyi ou? Alò konsidere e wè ki repons mwen va pote bay Sila ki te voye mwen an.”
14 And David said to Gad: I am in a great strait: but it is better that I should fall into the hands of the Lord (for his mercies are many) than into the hands of men.
Epi David te di a Gad: “Mwen nan gwo pwoblèm. Annou tonbe nan men a SENYÈ a, paske mizerikòd Li gran; men pa kite mwen tonbe nan men a lòm.”
15 And the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel, from the morning unto the time appointed, and there died of the people from Dan to Bersabee seventy thousand men.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te voye yon epidemi sou Israël jis rive nan maten nan lè chwazi a e swasann-di-mil moun nan pèp la soti Dan jis rive Beer-Schéba te mouri.
16 And when the angel of the Lord had stretched out his hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord had pity on the affliction, and said to the angel that slew the people: It is enough: now hold thy hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite.
Lè zanj lan te lonje men li vè Jérusalem pou detwi li, SENYÈ a te repanti de gwo malè a. Li te di a zanj ki te detwi pèp la: “Sa ase! Koulye a, lache men ou!” Epi zanj SENYÈ a te akote glasi a Aravna a, Jebizyen an.
17 And David said to the Lord, when he saw the angel striking the people: It is I; I am he that have sinned, I have done wickedly: these that are the sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I beseech thee, be turned against me, and against my father’s house.
Konsa, David te pale a SENYÈ a lè li te wè zanj ki t ap frape pèp la. Li te di: “Gade byen, se mwen ki te peche a, se mwen ki te fè mal la. Men mouton sila yo, kisa yo te fè? Souple, kite men Ou vin kont mwen, ak kont lakay papa m.”
18 And Gad came to David that day, and said: Go up, and build an altar to the Lord in the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite.
Konsa, Gad te rive kote David nan jou sa menm, e li te di li: “Ale monte, bati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a sou glasi Aravna a, Jebizyen an.”
19 And David went up according to the word of Gad which the Lord had commanded him.
David te monte pa pawòl a Gad la, jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande a.
20 And Areuna looked, and saw the king and his servants coming towards him:
Aravna te gade anba e te wè wa a avèk sèvitè li yo ki t ap travèse bò kote li. Epi Aravna te parèt deyò e li te bese figi li jiska atè devan wa a.
21 An going out he worshipped the king, bowing with his face to the earth, and said: Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? Arid David said to him: To buy the thrashingfloor of thee, and build an altar to the Lord, that the plague, which rageth among the people, may cease.
Alò, Aravna te di: “Poukisa mèt mwen, wa a, te vin kote sèvitè li a?” David te reponn: “Pou achte glasi a nan men ou, pou m kab bati yon lotèl bay SENYÈ a, pou epidemi an kab vin sispann sou pèp la.”
22 And Areuna said to David: Let my lord the king take, and offer, as it seemeth good to him: thou hast here oxen for a holocaust, and the wain, and the yokes of the oxen for wood.
Aravna te di a David: “Kite mèt mwen an, wa a, pran sa li wè ki bon nan zye li, e ofri li. Gade, men bèf pou ofrann brile a, bwa kabwèt yo avèk jouk bèf yo pou bwa dife a.
23 All these things Areuna as a king gave to the king: and Areuna said to the king: The Lord thy God receive thy vow.
Tout bagay, O wa, Aravna ap bay wa a.” Epi Aravna te di a wa a: “Ke SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, kapab kontan avèk ou.”
24 And the king answered him, and said: Nay, but I will buy it of thee at a price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God holocausts free cost. So David bought the floor, and the oxen, for fifty sicles of silver:
Sepandan, wa a te di a Aravna: “Non, men mwen va, anverite, achte li pou yon pri. Paske mwen p ap ofri ofrann brile bay SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an ki pa koute m anyen.” Konsa, David te achte glasi a avèk bèf yo pou senkant sik ajan.
25 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered holocausts and peace offerings: and the Lord became merciful to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
David te bati la yon lotèl bay SENYÈ a e li te ofri ofrann brile yo avèk ofrann lapè yo. Konsa, SENYÈ a te kontan akoz lapriyè pou peyi a, e epidemi an te vin sispann an Israël.
