2 Samuel 24

1 Israel nuiah Angraeng palungphuihaih hmai baktiah angqongh; to pongah Setan mah David khaeah, Caeh loe, Israel hoi Judah kaminawk to kroek ah, tiah pahruek.

And again the anger of YHWH was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.

2 To pongah siangpahrang mah Joab hoi anih taengah kaom misatuh angraengnawk khaeah, Kami nazetto maw oh o, tiah ka panoek thai hanah, caeh loe, Dan hoi Beersheba khoek to Israel acaengnawk to kroek boih ah, tiah a naa.

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 Beer-sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.

3 Toe Joab mah siangpahrang khaeah, Na Angraeng Sithaw mah na misatuh kaminawk to alet cumvai khoek to pungsak nasoe; to hmuen to ka Angraeng siangpahrang mah hnu nasoe; toe tipongah ka angraeng siangpahrang mah to baktih hmuen sak hanah na koeh loe? tiah a naa.

And Joab said unto the king, Now YHWH thy Elohim add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my master the king may see it: but why doth my master the king delight in this thing?

4 Toe siangpahrang ih lok mah Joab hoi misatuh angraengnawk ih lok to pazawk. To pongah Joab hoi misatuh angraengnawk loe Israel kaminawk kroek hanah anih hmaa hoiah caeh o.

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 Jordan vapui angkat o pacoengah, Gad azawn thungah kaom, Aroer vangpui ni angyae bang ih, Jazer vangpui taengah atai o;

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 Gilead prae hoi Tahtim Hodshi, tiah kawk ih ohhaih ahmuen kangtha prae ah caeh o tathuk; to ahmuen hoiah Daan-Jaan ah caeh o moe, Sidon prae bangah caeh o poe,

Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and about to Zidon,

7 to pacoengah Tura misa abuephaih im ah caeh o tathuk moe, Hiv kaminawk, Kanaan kaminawk khaeah doeh caeh o; hnukkhuem koekah Judah prae aloih bangah kaom Beersheba vangpui ah caeh o.

And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hibites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, even to Beer-sheba.

8 Prae thung boih ah caeh o moe, khrah takawtto boenghaih, ni pumphaeto naah Jerusalem to phak o.

So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

9 Joab mah siangpahrang khaeah, kaminawk nazetto maw oh, tiah thuih pae; Israel prae thungah sumsen hoi misatuh thaih kami, sang cumvai tazetto oh o moe, Judah prae thungah sang cumvai pangato oh o.

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 David loe misatuh thaih kami to kroek pacoengah, dawnpakhuem moe, Angraeng khaeah, Kai loe paroeai hmuen sakpazae boeh; Aw Angraeng, vaihi na tamna ih zaehaih takhoe ving hanah, tahmenhaih kang hnik; paroeai amthuhaih hoiah hmuen to ka sak moeng boeh, tiah a naa.

And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto YHWH, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O YHWH, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

11 David mah khawnbang khawnthaw angthawk naah, David ih tahmaa, Gad khaeah Angraeng ih lok to angzoh,

For when David was up in the morning, the word of YHWH came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

12 caeh loe David khaeah, Angraeng mah, Qoih hanah hmuen thumto kang paek; na nuiah ka sak han ih hmuen thumto thungah maeto qoi ah, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.

Go and say unto David, Thus saith YHWH, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.

13 To pongah Gad loe David khaeah caeh moe, anih khaeah, Na prae thungah saning sarihto thung khokhaahaih maw na koeh? To tih ai boeh loe saning thumto thung na misanawk mah patom moe cawnh? To tih ai boeh loe na prae thungah ni thumto thung kasae nathaih phaksak? Kai patoehkung khaeah kawbangmaw ka thuih pae han, tiah poek het ah loe, na thui ah, tiah a naa.

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 David mah Gad khaeah, Paroeai palung ka set; anih tahmenhaih loe, len parai pongah, Angraeng ih ban ah kam timh o halat han boeh; minawk ban thungah amtimsak hmah, tiah a naa.

And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of YHWH; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.

15 To pongah akhawnbang hoi atue khaehhaih ni karoek to, Angraeng mah, Israel kaminawk nuiah kasae nathaih to phaksak; Daan hoi Beersheba karoek to kami sang quisarihto duek o.

So YHWH sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.

16 Jerusalem vangpui phraek hanah, a nuiah van kami mah ban phok naah, to patangkhanghaih pongah, Angraeng to dawnpakhuem moe, kami hum van kami khaeah, Khawt boeh! Na ban pakhuem duem lai ah! tiah a naa. To naah Angraeng ih van kami loe Jebus acaeng Araunah ih cang atithaih ahmuen ah oh.

And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, YHWH 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 YHWH was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.

17 Kami hum van kami to David mah hnuk naah, Angraeng khaeah, Khenah, Kai loe ka zae boeh, amthuhaih hoiah zaehaih ka sak moeng boeh; toe hae tuunawk loe timaw sakpazaehaih tawnh o? Na ban loe kaimah hoi kampa ih imthung takoh nuiah krah nasoe, tiah a naa.

And David spake unto YHWH 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 To na niah Gad mah David khaeah caeh moe, anih khaeah, Caeh loe, Jebus acaeng Araunah ih cang atithaih ahmuen ah, Angraeng han hmaicam maeto sah ah, tiah a naa.

And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto YHWH in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.

19 To pongah Angraeng mah Gad khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, David loe caeh tahang.

And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as YHWH commanded.

20 Araunah mah a taengah angzo siangpahrang hoi a tamnanawk to hnuk naah, Caeh moe, siangpahrang hmaa ah long ah akuep.

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 Araunah mah, Tipongah ka Angraeng siangpahrang loe a tamna khaeah angzoh loe? tiah a naa. David mah, Kaminawk khae hoi nathaih kasae anghmat boih thai hanah, Angraeng han hmaicam sak ka koeh pongah, nang ih cang atithaih ahmuen qan hanah kang zoh, tiah a naa.

And Araunah said, Wherefore is my master the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto YHWH, that the plague may be stayed from the people.

22 Araunah mah David khaeah, Ka angraeng siangpahrang mah a koeh ih hmuen to la nasoe loe, paek nasoe; khenah, angbawnhaih sak hanah maitaw taenawk doeh hae ah oh; angbawnhaih sak hanah cang atithaih thing hoi maitaw hmai pakhaem naah patoh ih thingnawk doeh oh.

And Araunah said unto David, Let my master 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 Aw siangpahrang, Araunah mah siangpahrang hanah hae hmuennawk hae paek boih boeh, tiah a naa. Araunah mah, Na Angraeng Sithaw mah talawk nasoe, tiah a naa.

All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, YHWH thy Elohim accept thee.

24 Toe siangpahrang mah Araunah khaeah, To tiah na ai ni; atho paek han ih ni ka thuih; atho paek ai ah hak ih hmuen hoiah ka Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, angbawnhaih ka sah mak ai, tiah a naa. To pongah cang atithaih ahmuen hoi maitaw ataenawk to David mah phoisa shekel quipangato hoiah qanh.

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 YHWH my Elohim of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

25 David mah to ahmuen ah hmaicam to sak moe, hmai angbawnhaih hoi angdaeh angbawnhaih to sak. To naah Angraeng mah prae zuengah lawkthuihaih to pathim pae pongah, Israel nui ih kasae nathaih to anghmat.

And David built there an altar unto YHWH, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So YHWH was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
