1 Setouknae 21
1 Hahoi Setan ni Isarelnaw taran lahoi a thaw teh, Isarelnaw milu touk sak hanelah Devit hah a tacuek.
And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
2 Hatdawkvah, Devit ni Joab hoi a taminaw kahrawikung koe, Isarel miphun pueng Dan kho hoi Beersheba kho totouh cet awh nateh, tami nâyittouh maw tie ka panue thai nahan touk awh nateh kai koe bout na dei awh han telah atipouh.
And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer–sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
3 Hatei, Joab ni siangpahrang koevah, BAWIPA ni taminaw teh a let 100 touh haiyah pungdaw sak naseh, siangpahrang ka bawipa e misa lah koung kaawm nahoehmaw, ka bawipa ni bangkongmaw hot hah panue han na ngai, bangdawkmaw Isarelnaw kâtapoe sak hanelah na sak vaw atipouh.
And Joab answered, Yhwh make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?
4 Hateiteh siangpahrang e lawk teh Joab ni ek thai hoeh. Hatdawkvah, Joab ni Isarel ram pueng dawk a cei teh, Jerusalem vah bout a ban.
Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Joab ni tami kaawm e yit touh Devit koe bout a dei pouh. Isarel ram dawk tahloi ka patuem e 1, 100, 000 touh a pha awh.
And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.
6 Hateiteh, Levihnaw hoi Benjaminnaw teh touk awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang e lawk teh Joab hanelah panuet a tho.
But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.
7 Hote kong teh Cathut ni a ngai hoeh dawkvah, Isarelnaw hah a thei.
And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.
8 Devit ni Cathut koe hete ka sak e dawkvah puenghoi ka payon toe. Hatei nakunghai na sanpa kai ni ka payon, kai heh na pahren nateh, na ngaithoum yawkaw ei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, pathunae hno ka sak toe telah ati.
And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
9 BAWIPA ni Devit e profet Gad koe vah,
And Yhwh spake unto Gad, David’s seer, saying,
10 Cet nateh, Devit koe hettelah dei pouh. Hno kathum touh nang koe na patue. Nang dawk kai ni ka sak hane buetbuet touh kârawi leih telah dei pouh telah atipouh.
Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith Yhwh, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
11 Gad teh Devit koe a cei teh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, na ngai e kârawi leih.
So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith Yhwh, Choose thee
12 BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, kum thum touh thung takang ka tho sak maw na ngai, Nahoeh pawiteh, thapa yung thum touh tarannaw ni na pâlei maw na ngai, Nahoeh pawiteh, hnin thum touh thung Lacik ka phasak maw na ngai. Na kapatounkung koe bangtelamaw ka dei pouh han, atu kâpouk nateh, dei haw telah atipouh.
Either three years’ famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of Yhwh, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of Yhwh destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
13 Devit ni Gad koevah, ka lung rei a thai, kho lah king a bing. BAWIPA e kut dawk ka bawt yawkaw naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lungmanae teh a len. Tami e a kut dawk teh na phat sak hanh telah atipouh.
And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of Yhwh; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.
14 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw thung lacik a pha sak teh, Isarelnaw tami 70, 000 touh a due awh.
So Yhwh sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
15 Hahoi Jerusalem raphoe hanelah, Cathut ni kalvantami a patoun teh, raphoe hane a kâcai navah, BAWIPA ni a khet teh, hawihoehnae sak han a noe e hah bout a kâhno. Ka raphoe e kalvantami koevah, a khout toe na kut dâw hanh lawi telah atipouh teh, BAWIPA e kalvantami teh Jebusit tami Ornan e cangkatinnae teng vah a kangdue.
And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, Yhwh beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of Yhwh stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 Devit ni kho a radoung teh, BAWIPA kalvantami tahloi a rayu nalaihoi Jerusalem koelah a nue teh, talai hoi kalvan a rahak dawk a kangdue e hah a hmu. Hatdawkvah, Devit hoi kacuenaw ni buri a kâramuk awh teh, talai dawk a tabo awh.
And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Yhwh stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
17 Devit ni Cathut koe taminaw touk hane kâ kapoekung teh kai nahoehmaw. Kai heh yonnae ka sak e, kahawihoehe poung lah hno ka sak e teh kai doeh. Hetnaw ni bangmaw a sak awh. Oe BAWIPA ka Cathut, kai hoi ka imthungnaw dawk na kut pho nateh, na taminaw ni lacik hah khang awh hanh naseh, telah ati.
And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O Yhwh my God, be on me, and on my father’s house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.
18 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA kalvantami ni Jebusit tami Ornan e cangkatinnae koevah Devit a cei vaiteh, BAWIPA hanelah thuengnae khoungroe kangdue sak hanelah, Devit koe dei pouh hanelah Gad koe kâ a poe.
Then the angel of Yhwh commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto Yhwh in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 A dei e patetlah Gad ni BAWIPA min lahoi a dei pouh e patetlah Devit teh a cei.
And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of Yhwh.
20 Ornan ni a kamlang teh kalvantami hah a hmu. Ahni koe kaawm e a capa 4 touh a kâhro. Ornan ma teh cang a katin.
And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves, but Ornan continued threshing wheat.
21 Hottelah Devit ni Ornan koe a pha teh, Ornan ni a khet navah, Devit hah a hmu. Cang a katin e pak a tha teh, Devit e hmalah talai dawk a tabo.
And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
22 Devit ni BAWIPA hanelah thuengnae khoungroe ka sak thai nahanelah cangkatinnae hmuen hah na poe haw. Taminaw koehoi lacik a kâkayaw thai nahanelah, ka kuepcalah a phu na poe han telah atipouh.
Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto Yhwh: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.
23 Ornan ni Devit koe lat yawkaw, siangpahrang ka bawipa ni ahawi na tie patetlah sak yawkaw, khenhaw! hmaisawi thuengnae sak nahanelah maitotan hoi thueng hanelah cakong, tavai hoi thueng nahanelah cakang hai na poe han. Abuemlahoi koung na poe telah atipouh.
And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the grain offering; I give it all.
24 Siangpahrang Devit ni Ornan koevah, telah nahoeh. Aphu hoi kâran han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA hanlah nange ka lat mahoeh. Banghai baw laipalah thuengnae sathei hah ka poe mahoeh atipouh.
And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for Yhwh, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.
25 Hatdawkvah, Devit ni hote hmuen teh Ornan koe sui shekel 600 touh hoi a ran.
So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
26 Devit ni hote hmuen koe BAWIPA hanlah khoungroe a sak teh, sathei thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae sathei poenae a sak. BAWIPA a kaw teh khoungroe dawkvah kalvan lahoi hmai hoi a pato.
And David built there an altar unto Yhwh, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon Yhwh; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.
27 BAWIPA ni kalvantaminaw hah kâ a poe teh, tahloi teh a tabu dawk bout a pâseng.
And Yhwh commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.
28 Devit ni Jebusit tami Ornan e cangkatinnae koehoi BAWIPA ni na pato tie hah a panue torei teh, hawvah thueng a sak.
At that time when David saw that Yhwh had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29 Hatnae tueng dawkvah, Mosi ni kahrawngum BAWIPA e lukkareiim hoi hmaisawinae khoungroe a sak e hah, Gibeon kho e hmuenrasang doeh ao rah.
For the tabernacle of Yhwh, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon.
30 Hateiteh, Cathut koe pouknae hei hanelah Devit ni a hmalah cet thai hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e kalvantami e tahloi hah a taki.
But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Yhwh.
