Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1U A hoaa hou ia ka inaina o Iehova i ka Iseraela, a ua hoowalewaleia mai o Davida maluna o lakou, e kena aku ai, E haele e helu aku i ka Iseraela a me ka Iuda.
1And the anger of the Lord was again kindled against Israel, and stirred up David among them, saying: Go, number Israel and Juda.
2I aku la ke alii ia Ioaba ka lunakaua, e noho ana me ia, E poaihele oukou i na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, mai Dana a hiki aku i Beereseba, a e helu oukou i na kanaka, i ike hoi au i ka nui o na kanaka.
2And 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.
3I aku la o Ioaba i ke alii, E hoonui mai o Iehova i na kanaka i ko lakou nui, a pahaneri hou aku; a e ike aku hoi na maka o kuu haku o ke alii ia mea: i aha hoi e makemake nei ko'u haku ke alii ia mea?
3And 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?
4Aka, ua ikaika aku ka olelo a ke alii maluna o ka loaba, a i ka poe lunakaua ona, Haele aku la o Ioaba a me na lunakaua mai ke alo aku o ke alii e helu iho i na kanaka o Iseraela.
4But 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.
5Hele aku la lakou ma kela aoao o Ioredane, a kukulu i na halelewa ma Aroera ma ka aoao akau o ke kulanakauhale mawaena konu o ke awawa o Gada, ma ka aoao ma Iazera:
5And when they had passed the Jordan, they came to Aroer to the right side of the city, which is in the vale of Gad.
6Alaila hele aku la lakou i Gileada, a ma ka aina i Tahetima-hodesi; a hele aku la hoi lakou i Daniaana, a poai ae la a hiki aku i Zidona.
6And 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,
7Hiki aku la lakou i ka pakaua paa i Turo, a i na kulanakauhale o ka Hivi, a me ka Kanaana: a hele aku la lakou ma ke kukuluhema o ka Iuda ma Beereseba.
7They 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:
8A hala na malama eiwa me na la he iwakalua, ua pau ae la ka aina i ke kaaheleia a hoi mai la lakou i Ierusalema.
8And having gone through the whole land, after nine months and twenty days, they came to Jerusalem.
9A haawi aku la o Ioaba i ka huina o ka helu ana i na kanaka, i ke alii: a iloko o ka Iseraela he ewalu haneri tausani kanaka koa, na mea unuhi i ka pahikaua: a he elima haneri tausani kanaka no ka Iuda.
9And 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.
10Kui iho la ka naau o Davida ia ia iho, mahope iho o kana helu ana i na kanaka. I aku la Davida ia Iehova, Ua hewa nui au i ka mea a'u i hana iho nei: e Iehova, e lawe aku oe i ka hala o kau kauwa; no ka mea, ua hana lapuwale no wau.
10But 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.
11A ala'e la o Davida i kakahiaka, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova i ke kaula io Gada la, i ke Davida kaula, i ka i ana mai,
11And David arose in the morning, and the word of the Lord came to Gad the prophet and the seer of David, saying:
12E hele oe, e i aku ia Davida, Penei ka Iehova olelo, Ke hoike aku nei au i ekolu mau mea nou; e koho oe i kekahi o ia mau mea, i hana aku ai au ia oe ilaila.
12Go, 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.
13Hele mai la o Gada io Davida la, a hai mai la ia ia, i mai la, E hiki mai anei na makahiki wi ehiku i kou aina? a e auhee paha oe i ekolu malama imua o kou poe enemi i ko lakou alualu ana mai ia oe? a e hiki mai paha na la ahulau ekolu ma kou aina? E kuka iho oe, a e noonoo iho i ka olelo a'u e hoihoi aku ai i ka mea nana au i hoouna mai nei.
13And 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.
14I aku la o Davida ia Gada, He pilikia nui ko'u: e aho e haule iho kakou ano iloko o na lima o Iehova; no ka mea, he nui kona aloha: aole au e make haule iloko o ka lima o kanaka.
14And 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.
15A hoouna mai la o Iehova i ke ahulau iluna o ka Iseraela, mai ke kakahiaka a hiki i ka manawa i oleloia'i, a make iho la na kanaka mai Dana a hiki i Beereseba, he kanahiku tausani kanaka.
15And 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.
16I ka wa i o aku ai ka anela i kona lima maluna o Ierusalema, mihi iho la o Iehova no ka poino, i mai la ia i ka anela nana i luku mai i na kanaka, Ua oki; e alia kou lima ano. E ku ana ka anela ma kahi hehi palaoa no Arauna ka Iebusi.
16And 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.
17Olelo aku la o Davida ia Iehova i kona ike ana aku i ka anela nana i luku mai i na kanaka, i aku la, Eia hoi, ua hewa wau, ua hana ino no hoi: aka, o keia poe hipa, heaha la ka lakou i hana aku ai? ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e kauia mai kou lima maluna o'u, a maluna hoi o ka ohana a ko'u makuakane.
17And 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.
18Hele aku la o Gada io Davida la ia la, i mai la ia ia, E pii aku oe, e kukulu i kuahu no Iehova ma kahi hehi palaoa no Arauna ka Iebusi.
18And Gad came to David that day, and said: Go up, and build an altar to the Lord in the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite.
19Pii aku la o Davida ma ka olelo ana a Gada, e like me ka Iehova i kauoha mai ai.
19And David went up according to the word of Gad which the Lord had commanded him.
20Nana aku la o Arauna, a ike aku la i ke alii a me kana poe kauwa e hele mai ana io na la. Hele aku la o Arauna iwaho, a kulou iho la imua o ke alii ilalo kona alo i ka honua.
20And Areuna looked, and saw the king and his servants coming towards him:
21I aku la o Arauna i ke alii, No ke aha la i hele mai nei kuu haku ke alii i kana kauwa? I mai la o Davida, E kuai me oe i kahi hehi palaoa, i wahi e hana ai i kuahu no Iehova, i hookiia'i ke ahulau mai na kanaka aku.
21An 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.
22I aku la o Arauna ia Davida, E lawe kuu haku ke alii, a e mohai aku e like me kona manao he pono: eia hoi na bipikane i mohai kuni, a me na laau kaa palaoa, a me na mea laau a na bipi i wahie.
22And 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.
23Haawi aku la o Arauna me he alii la ia mau mea a pau i ke alii. I aku la hoi o Arauna i ke alii, E maliu mai hoi o Iehova ia oe.
23All these things Areuna as a king gave to the king: and Areuna said to the king: The Lord thy God receive thy vow.
24I mai la ke alii ia Arauna, Aole pela, oiaio no e kuai aku au me oe, ma ke kumukuai: aole au e kaumaha aku i na mohaikuni ia Iehova i ko'u Akua i ka mea i loaa ia'u ma ke kumukuai ole. A kuai aku la o Davida i kahi hehi palaoa a me na bipikane, i kanalima sekela kala.
24And 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:
25Hana iho la o Davida i kuahu malaila no Iehova, a kaumaha aku la ia i na mohaikuni, a me na mohai hoomalu. A maliu mai la o Iehova i ka aina, a hookiia iho la ke ahulau mai ka Iseraela aku.
25And 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.
