1 Setouknae 21
1 Hahoi Setan ni Isarelnaw taran lahoi a thaw teh, Isarelnaw milu touk sak hanelah Devit hah a tacuek.
And an adversary up against Israel, and moved 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 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 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.
Joab said, "May the LORD 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 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. Therefore 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.
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 Hateiteh, Levihnaw hoi Benjaminnaw teh touk awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang e lawk teh Joab hanelah panuet a tho.
But he did not count Levi and Benjamin 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.
God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck 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.
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 BAWIPA ni Devit e profet Gad koe vah,
The LORD spoke to 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 speak to David, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, "I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you."'"
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 to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Take your choice:
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 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 the LORD, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who 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.
David said to Gad, "I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are very great. 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 the LORD sent a pestilence on Israel; and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
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.
God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, the LORD saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, "It is enough; now stay your hand." The angel of the LORD was standing by the threshing floor 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.
David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD 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 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.
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, O LORD my God, be against me, and against my father's house; but not against your 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 the LORD commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up, and raise an altar to the LORD in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 A dei e patetlah Gad ni BAWIPA min lahoi a dei pouh e patetlah Devit teh a cei.
David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the LORD.
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.
Ornan turned back, and saw the king, and his four sons who were with him hiding themselves. Now Ornan was 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.
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 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, "Give me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build thereon an altar to the LORD. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting 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.
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 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.
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 the LORD, nor offer a burnt offering without cost."
25 Hatdawkvah, Devit ni hote hmuen teh Ornan koe sui shekel 600 touh hoi a ran.
So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
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.
David built an altar to the LORD there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire on the altar of burnt offering, and it consumed the burnt offering.
27 BAWIPA ni kalvantaminaw hah kâ a poe teh, tahloi teh a tabu dawk bout a pâseng.
The LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.
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 the LORD had answered him in the threshing floor 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 the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time 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 couldn't go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
