2 Samuel 24
1 Yahweh was angry with the Israeli people again, so he incited David to cause trouble for them. He said to David, “Send [some men] to count the people of Israel and Judah.”
Simged manen ti pungtot ni Yahweh iti Israel, ken tinignayna ni David a bumusor kadakuada a kunana, “Mapanka ket bilangem ti Israel ken Juda.”
2 So the king said to Joab, the commander of his army, “Go [with your officers] through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan [city in the far north] to Beersheba [town in the far south], and count the people, in order that I may know how many people [there are who are able to be soldiers in the army].”
Kinuna ti ari kenni Joab a pangulo dagiti armada, a kaduana, “Mapanka kadagiti amin a tribu ti Israel, manipud Dan agingga idiay Beerseba, ket bilangem amin a tattao, tapno ammok ti pakadagupan a bilang dagiti tattao a mabalin a makigubat.”
3 But Joab replied to the king, “Your Majesty, I wish/desire that Yahweh our God will cause there to be 100 times as many people [in Israel] as there are now, and I wish/desire that you would see that happen [before you die]. But why do you want us to do this?”
Kinuna ni Joab iti ari, “Paaduen koma ni Yahweh a Diosmo ti bilang dagiti tattao iti mamingasut a daras, ket makita koma ti apok nga ari a mapasamak daytoy. Ngem apay a kayat ti apok nga ari daytoy?”
4 But the king commanded Joab and his officers to do it. So they left the king and went out to count the people of Israel.
Nupay kasta, ti sao ti ari ket saanen a mabaliwan ni Joab ken dagiti pangulo ti armada. Isu a pimmanaw da Joab ken dagiti pangulo ti armada iti sangoanan ti ari tapno bilangenda dagiti tattao ti Israel.
5 They crossed the Jordan [River] and set up their tents south of Aroer [town], in the middle of the valley, in the territory [that was given to the tribe] of Gad. From there they went [north] to Jazer [city]
Binallasiwda ti Jordan ket nagkampoda idiay asideg ti Aroer, iti abagatan ti siudad idiay tanap. Kalpasanna, nagdaliasatda idiay Gad agingga idiay Jazer.
6 Then they went [north] to [the] Gilead [region] and to Kadesh [city], in the land where the Heth people-group lived. Then they went to Dan [city in the far north of Israel], and then further west, to Sidon [city near the Mediterranean Sea].
Dimtengda idiay Galaad ken idiay daga ti Tatim Hodsi, ket intuloyda a nagdaliasat a nagturong idiay Dan Jaan ket nanglikawda a napan idiay Sidon.
7 Then they went [south] to Tyre, a city with high walls around it, and to all the cities where the Hiv and Canaan people-groups live. Then they went [east] to Beersheba, in the southern part of Judah.
Nakadanunda iti nasarikedkedan a paset ti Tiro ken kadagiti amin siudad dagiti Heveo ken dagiti Cananeo. Kalpasanna, rimmuarda idiay Negev a paset ti Juda idiay Beerseba.
8 After nine months and 20 days, when they had finished going throughout the land [and counting the people], they returned to Jerusalem.
Idi nasursordan ti entero a daga, nagsublida idiay Jerusalem kalpasan iti siam a bulan ken duapulo nga aldaw.
9 They reported to the king the number of people that they had counted. There were 800,000 men in Israel and 500,000 men in Judah who were able to become soldiers in the army [MTY].
Ket impadamag ni Joab iti ari ti kadagupan a bilang dagiti mannakigubat a lallaki. Idiay Israel, adda iti walo gasut a ribu a natutured a lallaki a makabael a mangasot iti kampilan, ken lima gasut a ribu a lallaki iti Juda.
10 But after David’s men had counted the people, David regretted [IDM] that he had told them to do that. [One night] he said to Yahweh, “I have committed a very big sin. Please forgive me, because what I have done is very foolish.”
Ket nariribuk ti puso ni David kalpasan a binilangna dagiti lallaki. Isu a kinunana kenni Yahweh, “Nakabasolak iti nadagsen gapu iti panangaramidko iti daytoy. Ngarud, Yahweh, punasem ti basol daytoy adipenmo, gapu ta minamaag unay ti panagtignayko.
11 When David got up the next morning, Yahweh gave a message to the prophet Gad. He said to him,
Idi bimmangon ni David iti agsapa, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Gad a profeta, ti profeta ni David, kunana,
12 “Go and tell this to David: ‘I am allowing you to choose one of three things [to punish you]. I will do whichever one you choose.’”
“Mapanmo ibaga kenni David: 'Kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh: “Ikkanka iti tallo a pagpiliam. Mangpilika iti maysa kadagitoy.”'”
13 So Gad went to David and told him [what Yahweh had said]. He said to David, “You can choose whether there will be three years of famine in your land, or three months of your [army] running away from your enemies, or three days when there will be a (plague/very severe illness) in your land. You think about it and choose [which one you want, and tell me], and I will return to Yahweh and tell him what your answer is.”
Isu a napan ni Gad kenni David ket kinunana kenkuana, “Kayatmo kadi nga umay ti panagbisin iti dagam iti tallo a tawen? Wenno tallo a bulan nga itartarayam dagiti kabusormo kabayatan a kamkamatendaka? Wenno adda ti tallo nga aldaw a didigra iti dagam? Ita, manggeddengka no ania a sungbat ti rumbeng nga ibagak iti nangibaon kaniak.”
14 David said to Gad, “All those are very terrible things for me to choose between! But allow Yahweh to punish [MTY] me, because he is very merciful. Do not allow humans to punish me, [because they will not be merciful].”
Ket kinuna ni David kenni Gad, “Narikut ti sasaadek. Kadagiti ima lattan ni Yahweh ti pakatnagan tayo a saan ket a kadagiti ima dagiti tattao, gapu ta manangaasi unay isuna.”
15 So Yahweh sent a plague on the Israeli people. It started that morning and did not stop until the time that he had chosen/set. All over the land, from Dan to Beersheba, there were 70,000 Israelis who died [because of the plague].
Isu a nangiyeg ni Yahweh iti didigra iti Israel manipud iti agsapa agingga iti naituding a tiempo, ket pitopulo a ribu a tattao ti natay manipud iti Dan agingga iti Beerseba.
16 When [Yahweh’s] angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy [the people by this plague], Yahweh changed his mind about punishing [any more] people. He said to the angel who was killing them [with the plague], “Stop what you are doing [IDM]! That is enough!” [When he said that, ] the angel was standing at the ground where Araunah, from the Jebus people-group, threshed grain.
Idi inyunnat ti anghel ti imana iti Jerusalem tapno dadaelenna daytoy, nagbaliw ti panunot ni Yahweh maipapan iti didigra ket kinunana iti anghel a mangdaddadael kadagiti tattao, “Kuston! Itan, ibabam ti imam.” Iti dayta a tiempo, agtaktakder ti anghel ni Yahweh iti pagirikan ni Arauna a Jebuseo.
17 When David saw the angel who was causing the people to become sick and die, he said to Yahweh, “Truly, I am the one who has committed the sin. I have done a very wicked thing, but these people are [as innocent as] sheep [MET]. They have certainly not [RHQ] done anything [that is wrong]. So you should punish [IDM] me and my family, [not these people]!”
Ket kinasarita ni David ni Yahweh idi nakitana ti anghel a nangraut kadagiti tattao ket kinunana, “Nakabasolak ken nakaaramidak iti saan a nasayaat. Ngem dagitoy a karnero, ania ti inaramidda? Pangaasim, ta imam koma ti mangdusa kaniak ken iti pamilia ti amak!”
18 That day Gad came to David and said to him, “Go up to the place where Araunah threshes grain, and build an altar to [worship] Yahweh there.”
Ket iti dayta nga aldaw, napan ni Gad kenni David ket kinunana kenkuana, “Sumang-atka ket agpatakderka iti altar para kenni Yahweh idiay pagirikan ni Arauna a Jebuseo.”
19 So David did what Gad told him to do, which was what Yahweh had commanded, [and he went up there].
Simang-at ngarud ni David a kas imbaga ni Gad nga aramidenna, kas imbilin ni Yahweh.
20 When Araunah looked down and saw the king and his officials coming toward him, he prostrated himself on the ground in front of the king, with his face touching the ground.
Timman-aw ni Arauna ket nakitana ti ari ken dagiti adipenna a sumungsungad. Isu a rimmuar ni Arauna ket nagkurno iti sangoanan ti ari a nakadisso ti rupana iti daga.
21 Araunah said, “Your Majesty, why have you come to me?” David replied, “[I have come] to buy this ground where you thresh grain, in order to build an altar to Yahweh [and offer sacrifices on it], in order that he will stop the plague.”
Ket kinuna ni Arauna, “Apay nga imay kaniak nga adipenna ti apok nga ari?” Insungbat ni David, “Tapno umayko gatangen ti pagirikam, iti kasta ket makaipatakderak iti altar para kenni Yahweh, tapno maikkat ti didigra kadagiti tattao.”
22 Araunah replied to David, “Your Majesty, offer to Yahweh whatever you wish/want. Here, take my oxen to use for the offering that will be completely burned on the altar. And here, take their yokes and the boards [that I use] for the threshing, [and use them] for the wood that you will burn.
Kinuna ni Arauna kenni David, “Alaem daytoy a kas kukuam apok nga ari. Aramidem iti daytoy ti ammom a nasayaat iti panagkitam. Kitaem, adtoy dagiti baka para iti daton a mapuoran ken dagiti pagirik ken sangol ti baka a pagsungrod.
23 I, Araunah, am giving all this to you, the king.” Then he said, “I desire/hope that Yahweh our God will accept your offering.”
Siak ni Arauna, amin dagitoy apok nga ari ket itedko kenka.” Kalpasanna, kinunana iti ari, “Sapay koma ta awatennaka ni Yahweh a Diosmo.”
24 But the king said to Araunah, “No, [I will not take these things as a gift.] I will pay you for it. I will not take sacrifices that have cost me nothing, and offer them to Yahweh to be completely burned on the altar.” So he paid 50 pieces of silver to Araunah for the oxen and the ground.
Kinuna ti ari kenni Arauna, “Saan, ipilitko a gatangek daytoy iti umno a gatad.” Saanak nga agidaton iti kas daton a mapuoran para kenni Yahwen iti aniaman a banag a saanko a naggastusan” Isu a ginatang ni David ti pagirikan ken dagiti baka iti limapulo a siklo ti pirak.
25 Then David built an altar to Yahweh, and he offered [the oxen] to be completely burned on the altar, and he also offered sacrifices to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. Then, Yahweh answered David’s prayers, and he caused the plague in Israel to end.
Nangipatakder sadiay ni David iti altar para kenni Yahweh ket nagidaton iti rabaw daytoy kadagiti daton a mapuoran ken kadagiti daton a pakilangenlangen. Isu a kinaasian ni Yahweh ti daga ket simardeng ti didigra iti Israel.
