1 Dungkrhoekhaih 21
1 Israel pacuek hanah Setan loe angthawk moe, Israel kaminawk kroek hanah David to pahruek.
And an adversary up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
2 David mah Joab hoi zaehoikung angraengnawk khaeah, Beersheba hoi Dan karoek to caeh oh loe, Israel kaminawk to kroek oh; kami nazetto maw oh, tiah panoek hanah, kai khaeah na sin oh, tiah a naa.
And David said to Joab and to the leaders of the people, "Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them."
3 Joab mah, Angraeng mah angmah ih kaminawk alet cumvai khoek to pungsak nasoe; toe ka angraeng siangpahrang, Israel caanawk loe ka angraeng ih tamna ah na ai maw oh o? To pongah tih han ih hae hmuen hae sak na koeh loe? Tipongah Israel nuiah zaehaih sak han na koeh loe? tiah a naa.
Joab said, "May Jehovah make his people a hundred times as many as they are. But, my lord the king, aren't they all my lord's servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?"
4 Toe siangpahrang ih lok mah Joab to pazawk. To pongah Joab loe Israel prae boih ah caeh moe, Jerusalem ah amlaem let.
Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Joab mah milu cazin to David khaeah paek. Israel prae boih ah sumsen patoh thaih kaminawk, sang cumvai hatlaito oh o moe, Judah prae thungah sumsen patoh thaih kami, sang cumvai pali, sing sarihto oh o.
Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew sword: and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who drew sword.
6 Toe siangpahrang ih lok to Joab mah koeh ai pongah, Levi acaeng hoi Benjamin acaeng to kroek ai.
But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
7 Hae hmuen nuiah Sithaw palung anghoe ai pongah, Israel to boh.
God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel.
8 David mah Sithaw khaeah, Hae hmuen ka sak pongah paroeai ka zae boeh; vaihi tahmenhaih kang hnik, na tamna zaehaih hae na takhoe pae ah; amthuhaih hmuen ni ka sak boeh, tiah a naa.
David said to God, "I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly."
9 Angraeng mah David ih tahmaa Gad khaeah,
Jehovah spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,
10 caeh ah loe David khaeah Angraeng mah, Qoih koi hmuen thumto kang paek han, na koehhaih kang sak pae hanah, thumto thungah maeto qoi ah, tiah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
"Go and speak to David, saying, 'Thus says Jehovah, "I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you."'"
11 To pongah Gad mah David khaeah caeh moe, anih khaeah, Angraeng mah,
So Gad came to David, and said to him, "Thus says Jehovah, 'Take your choice:
12 saning thumto khokhahaih maw, khrah thumto thung na misanawk sumsen hoiah ang tuk pazawk moe, na misanawk hmaa ah nam rohaih maw, to tih ai boeh loe Angraeng ih sumsen ah kaom, ni thumto thung prae boih ah nathaih kasae tonghaih hoi Angraeng ih van kami mah Israel prae boih parohaih maw, hae thumto thungah maeto qoih hanah thuih, tiah a naa. To pongah vaihi kai patoehkung Anih khaeah kawbangmaw ka thuih pae han, tiah poek het ah loe na thui ah, tiah a naa.
either three years of famine; or three months of fleeing from before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days the sword of Jehovah, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of Jehovah destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.'"
13 David mah Gad khaeah, Palung ka set parai; anih tahmenhaih loe len parai pongah, Angraeng ban ah na krahsak ah; kami ban ah na krahsak hmah, tiah a naa.
David said to Gad, "I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into the hand of Jehovah; for his mercies are very great. Let me not fall into the hand of man."
14 To pongah Angraeng mah Israel nuiah nathaih to phaksak, Israel kami sing sarihto duek o.
So Jehovah sent a pestilence on Israel; and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
15 Jerusalem phraek hanah Angraeng mah van kami maeto patoeh; van kami mah phreak ih hmuen to Angraeng mah khet naah, anih loe sak ih kasae hmuen pongah dawnpakhuem moe, parokung van kami khaeah, Khawt boeh, na ban to azuk ah, tiah a naa. Angraeng ih van kami loe Jebus kami Ornan ih cang atithaih ahmuen taengah angdoet.
God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, Jehovah saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, "It is enough; now stay your hand." The angel of Jehovah was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 David mah khet tahang naah, long hoi van salakah angdoe, Jerusalem nuiah sumsen kalaek, Angraeng ih van kami to hnuk. David hoi kacoehtanawk loe kazii to angzaeng o boih moe, nihcae hmaa ah akuep o.
David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Jehovah standing between earth and the sky, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.
17 David mah Sithaw khaeah, Kaimah na ai maw milu cazin ka koksak? Kai loe ka zae boeh, hmuen ka sakpazae boeh; hae ih tuunawk loe tih zaehaih maw sak o? Aw ka Angraeng Sithaw, kaimah hoi kam panawk ih imthung nuiah, na ban to krahsak ah; nangmah ih kaminawk nuiah, hae nathaih hae phasak hmah, tiah a naa.
David said to God, "Isn't it I who commanded the people to be numbered? It is even I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, Jehovah my God, be against me, and against my father's house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued."
18 To pacoengah Angraeng ih van kami mah Gad khaeah, David khaeah caeh tahang ah loe, Jebus kami Ornan ih cang atithaih ahmuen ah, Angraeng hanah hmaicam sak hanah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
Then the angel of Jehovah commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up, and raise an altar to Jehovah in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 David loe Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah Gad mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah caeh tahang.
David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of Jehovah.
20 Ornan loe cang atit li moe, hnukbang angqoi naah, van kami to hnuk; a taengah kaom a capa palitonawk loe anghawk o king.
Ornan turned back, and saw the king, and his four sons who were with him hiding themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
21 David loe Ornan khaeah caeh, Ornan mah anih to hnuk naah, cang atithaih to toengh sut moe, David hmaa ah long ah akuep.
As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
22 David mah Ornan khaeah, Kai ih kaminawk nuiah nathaih to dip moe, Angraeng han hmaicam ka sak thai hanah, cang na tithaih ahmuen to atho hoiah na qansak ah, tiah a naa.
Then David said to Ornan, "Give me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build thereon an altar to Jehovah. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people."
23 Ornan mah David khaeah, La ah, ka angraeng siangpahrang mah a koeh ih hmuen to sah nasoe; khenah, hmai angbawnhaih paek hanah maitawnawk doeh kang paek; cang atit naah patoh ih thing doeh kang paek, angdaeh angbawnhaih sak hanah cang doeh kang paek; hmuennawk hae kang paek boih, tiah a naa.
Ornan said to David, "Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Look, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all."
24 Toe David siangpahrang mah Ornan khaeah, To tih na ai, kakoep ah atho kang paek han; nang ih ahmuen to Angraeng hanah azom ah ka la mak ai, atho hoi qan ai ih hmuen hoiah angbawnhaih ka sah mak ai, tiah a naa.
King David said to Ornan, "No; but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for Jehovah, nor offer a burnt offering without cost."
25 To pongah David mah Ornan ih lawkhmuen qanhaih atho sui shekel cumvai tarukto paek.
So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
26 David mah to ahmuen ah Angraeng hanah hmaicam to sak; hmai angbawnhaih hoi angdaeh angbawnhaih to a sak moe, Angraeng to kawk; Angraeng mah kawkhaih lok to van hoiah pathim pae, angbawnhaih hmaicam to hmai mah kangh pae.
David built an altar to Jehovah there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on Jehovah; and he answered him from heaven by fire on the altar of burnt offering, and it consumed the burnt offering.
27 Angraeng mah van kami khaeah lokthuih pae pongah, anih mah a sumsen to tabu thungah pacaeng let.
Jehovah commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.
28 Jebus acaeng Ornan ih cang atithaih ahmuen hoiah Angraeng mah lok pathim pae, tiah David mah panoek naah, to ahmuen ah angbawnhaih to sak.
At that time, when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29 To nathuem ah Mosi mah praezaek ah sak ih Angraeng ih kahni im hoi hmai angbawnhaih hmaicam loe Gideon hmuensang ah ni oh.
For the tabernacle of Jehovah, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
30 Toe Angraeng ih van kami ih sumsen to zit pongah, David loe Sithaw lokdueng hanah hmabangah caeh thai ai.
But David couldn't go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Jehovah.
