2 Samuel 24
Beibl William Morgan
24 A thrachefn dicllonedd yr Arglwydd a enynnodd yn erbyn Israel; ac efe a anogodd Dafydd yn eu herbyn hwynt, i ddywedyd, Dos, cyfrif Israel a Jwda. 2 Canys y brenin a ddywedodd wrth Joab tywysog y llu oedd ganddo ef, Dos yn awr trwy holl lwythau Israel, o Dan hyd Beer‐seba, a chyfrif y bobl, fel y gwypwyf rifedi y bobl. 3 A Joab a ddywedodd wrth y brenin, Yr Arglwydd dy Dduw a chwanego y bobl yn gan cymaint ag y maent, fel y gwelo llygaid fy arglwydd frenin: ond paham yr ewyllysia fy arglwydd frenin y peth hyn? 4 A gair y brenin fu drech na Joab, ac na thywysogion y llu. Joab am hynny a aeth allan, a thywysogion y llu, o ŵydd y brenin, i gyfrif pobl Israel.
5 A hwy a aethant dros yr Iorddonen, ac a wersyllasant yn Aroer, o’r tu deau i’r ddinas sydd yng nghanol dyffryn Gad, a thua Jaser. 6 Yna y daethant i Gilead, ac i wlad Tahtim‐hodsi; daethant hefyd i Dan-jaan, ac o amgylch i Sidon; 7 Daethant hefyd i amddiffynfa Tyrus, ac i holl ddinasoedd yr Hefiaid, a’r Canaaneaid; a hwy a aethant i du deau Jwda, i Beer‐seba. 8 Felly y cylchynasant yr holl wlad, ac a ddaethant ymhen naw mis ac ugain niwrnod i Jerwsalem. 9 A rhoddes Joab nifer cyfrif y bobl at y brenin: ac Israel ydoedd wyth gan mil o wŷr grymus yn tynnu cleddyf; a gwŷr Jwda oedd bum can mil o wŷr.
10 A chalon Dafydd a’i trawodd ef, ar ôl iddo gyfrif y bobl. A dywedodd Dafydd wrth yr Arglwydd, Pechais yn ddirfawr yn yr hyn a wneuthum: ac yn awr dilea, atolwg, O Arglwydd, anwiredd dy was; canys ynfyd iawn y gwneuthum. 11 A phan gyfododd Dafydd y bore, daeth gair yr Arglwydd at Gad y proffwyd, gweledydd Dafydd, gan ddywedyd, 12 Dos a dywed wrth Dafydd, Fel hyn y dywedodd yr Arglwydd; Yr ydwyf fi yn gosod tri pheth o’th flaen di; dewis i ti un ohonynt, a gwnaf hynny i ti. 13 Felly Gad a ddaeth at Dafydd, ac a fynegodd iddo, ac a ddywedodd wrtho, A fynni ddyfod i ti saith mlynedd o newyn yn dy wlad? neu ffoi dri mis o flaen dy elynion, a hwy yn dy erlid? ai ynteu bod haint yn y wlad dri diwrnod? Yn awr ymgynghora, ac edrych pa beth a atebaf i’r hwn a’m hanfonodd i. 14 A dywedodd Dafydd wrth Gad, Y mae yn gyfyng iawn arnaf fi: bid i mi syrthio yn awr yn llaw yr Arglwydd, canys aml yw ei drugareddau ef, ac na chwympwyf yn llaw dyn. 15 Yna y rhoddes yr Arglwydd haint yn Israel, o’r bore hyd yr amser nodedig: a bu farw o’r bobl, o Dan hyd Beer‐seba, ddeng mil a thrigain o wŷr. 16 A phan estynasai yr angel ei law at Jerwsalem i’w dinistrio hi, edifarhaodd ar yr Arglwydd y drwg hwn, ac a ddywedodd wrth yr angel oedd yn dinistrio y bobl, Digon bellach: atal dy law. Ac angel yr Arglwydd oedd wrth lawr dyrnu Arafna y Jebusiad. 17 A llefarodd Dafydd wrth yr Arglwydd, pan ganfu efe yr angel a drawsai y bobl, a dywedodd, Wele, myfi a bechais, ac a wneuthum yn ddrygionus: ond y defaid hyn, beth a wnaethant hwy? bydded, atolwg, dy law arnaf fi, ac ar dŷ fy nhad.
18 A Gad a ddaeth at Dafydd y dwthwn hwnnw, ac a ddywedodd wrtho, Dos i fyny, cyfod allor i’r Arglwydd yn llawr dyrnu Arafna y Jebusiad. 19 A Dafydd a aeth i fyny, yn ôl gair Gad, fel y gorchmynasai yr Arglwydd. 20 Ac Arafna a edrychodd, ac a ganfu y brenin a’i weision yn dyfod tuag ato. Ac Arafna a aeth allan, ac a ostyngodd ei wyneb i lawr gerbron y brenin. 21 Ac Arafna a ddywedodd, Paham y daeth fy arglwydd frenin at ei was? A dywedodd Dafydd, I brynu gennyt ti y llawr dyrnu, i adeiladu allor i’r Arglwydd, fel yr atalier y pla oddi wrth y bobl. 22 A dywedodd Arafna wrth Dafydd, Cymered, ac offrymed fy arglwydd frenin yr hyn fyddo da yn ei olwg: wele yr ychen yn boethoffrwm, a’r ffustiau ac offer yr ychen yn lle cynnud. 23 Hyn oll a roddodd Arafna, megis brenin, i’r brenin. A dywedodd Arafna wrth y brenin, Yr Arglwydd dy Dduw a fyddo bodlon i ti. 24 A dywedodd y brenin wrth Arafna, Nage; eithr gan brynu y prynaf ef mewn pris gennyt: ac nid offrymaf i’r Arglwydd fy Nuw boethoffrymau rhad. Felly Dafydd a brynodd y llawr dyrnu a’r ychen, er deg a deugain o siclau arian. 25 Ac yno yr adeiladodd Dafydd allor i’r Arglwydd, ac a offrymodd boethoffrymau ac offrymau hedd. A’r Arglwydd a gymododd â’r wlad, a’r pla a ataliwyd oddi wrth Israel.
2 Samuel 24
King James Version
24 And again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
2 For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.
3 And Joab said unto the king, Now the Lord thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
4 Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
5 And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that lieth in the midst of the river of Gad, and toward Jazer:
6 Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi; and they came to Danjaan, and about to Zidon,
7 And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, even to Beersheba.
8 So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
9 And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
10 And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the Lord, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O Lord, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
11 For when David was up in the morning, the word of the Lord came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
12 Go and say unto David, Thus saith the Lord, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
13 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
14 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the Lord; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
15 So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.
16 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.
17 And David spake unto the Lord when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.
18 And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the Lord in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.
19 And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the Lord commanded.
20 And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.
21 And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the Lord, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
22 And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.
23 All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The Lord thy God accept thee.
24 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25 And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
