2 Samuel 24

1 BAWIPA teh Isarelnaw koe a lungkhuek teh, Isarelnaw hoi Judahnaw hah touk haw, telah Devit hroecoe sak hanelah a lungthin a tacuek.

And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He moved David against them, saying: 'Go, number Israel and Judah.'

2 Siangpahrang ni ama koe kaawm e ransabawi Joab koe Isarel miphun pueng Dan kho hoi Beersheba kho totouh cet awh nateh, tami nâyittouh maw tie ka panue thai nahan touk awh haw atipouh.

And the king said to Joab the captain of the host that was with him: 'Go now to and fro through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the sum of the people.'

3 Joab ni siangpahrang koevah, BAWIPA na Cathut ni taminaw moikapap lah bout a pung sak teh, a let 100 touh haiyah na hmu hanelah siangpahrang ka bawipa ni, bangkongmaw hot hah panue han na ngai telah atipouh.

And Joab said unto the king: 'Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever they may be, a hundredfold, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it; but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?'

4 Hateiteh siangpahrang e lawk ni Joab hoi a ransanaw hah a tâ dawkvah, Joab hoi ransa kacuenaw ni taminaw touk hanelah ahni koehoi a tâco awh.

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 tui a raka awh teh, Gad yawn lungui kaawm e Jazer koelae Aroer kho a roe awh.

And they passed over the Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and unto Jazer;

6 Gilead ram hoi Tahtimhodshi ram vah a pha awh. Danjaan ram hoi Sidon tengpam ram totouh a kalup awh.

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

7 Taire rapanim koe a pha awh teh, Hiv khonaw, Kanaan taminaw e khopuinaw koe a pha awh. Judah ram akalah thoseh, Beersheba totouh thoseh thouk a cei awh.

and came to the stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites; and they went out to the south of Judah, at Beer-sheba.

8 Ram tangkuem be a katin awh teh, thapa yung tako touh hoi a hnin 20 touh a kuep hnukkhu, Jerusalem kho dawk a pha awh.

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

9 Joab ni milu cayin hah siangpahrang koe a poe. Isarel dawk tahloi ka sin ni teh tarankahawi e tami 800, 000 Judahnaw dawk 500, 000 touh a pha awh.

And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering 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 Tami be a touk hnukkhu, Devit ni amahoima yon a kâpen. Devit ni BAWIPA koevah, ka sak e hno dawk puenghoi ka payon toe. Oe BAWIPA na san kaie yon na takhoe pouh haw. Pathu laihoi doeh hno ka sak toe telah a ti.

And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD: 'I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, O LORD, put away, I beseech Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.'

11 Devit teh amom a thaw navah, BAWIPA e lawk hah Devit e profet Gad koe a pha.

And when David rose up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying:

12 Cet nateh, Devit koe hettelah dei pouh. Hno kathum touh nang koe na patue. Nang dawk kai ni ka sak hane buetbuet touh na rawi han, telah a dei e lawk hah patuen dei pouh haw telah atipouh.

'Go and speak unto David: Thus saith the LORD: I lay upon thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.'

13 Gad teh Devit koe a cei teh, Na ram dawk 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, kâpouk nateh, dei haw telah atipouh.

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 thy foes while they pursue thee? or shall there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise thee, and consider what answer I shall return to Him that sent Me.'

14 Devit ni Gad koevah, kângailah a ru toe. BAWIPA e kut dawk bawt naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lungmanae teh a len. Tami e a kut dawk teh na phat sak hanh telah Gad koe a dei pouh.

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 BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw koe amom hoi atueng a khoe e totouh, patawnae a pha sak. Dan kho hoi Beersheba kho totouh tami 70, 000 touh a due awh.

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 Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.

16 Kalvan tami ni Jerusalem kho hah ka raphoe han telah, a kut a dâw navah, BAWIPA ni haw e runae dawk hoi a kamlang teh, tami ka raphoe e kalvantami koevah, a khout toe na kut dâw hanh lawi telah atipouh. Hatnavah BAWIPA e kalvantami teh, Jebusit tami Araunah e cangkatinnae teng vah ao.

And when the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented Him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people: 'It is enough; now stay thy hand.' And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

17 Taminaw kathetkung kalvan tami hah Devit ni a hmu navah, kai ka payon toe, hnokahawi hoeh e ka sak toe. Hatei teh hete tunaw ni bangmaw a sak awh, na kut teh kai hoi apa imthung dawk phat naseh telah BAWIPA koe a ti.

And David spoke unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said: 'Lo, I have sinned, and I have done iniquitously; but these sheep, what have they done? let Thy hand, I pray Thee, be against me, and against my father's house.'

18 Hote hnin dawk Gad ni Devit koe a tho teh, cet haw. Jebusit tami Araunah e cangkatinnae teng vah BAWIPA hanelah thuengnae khoungroe na sak han telah atipouh.

And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him: 'Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.'

19 BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah Devit ni a cei.

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

20 Hottelah siangpahrang teh a taminaw hoi a tho e hah Araunah ni a khet teh a hmu navah, alawilah a tâco teh, siangpahrang e a hmalah a tabo.

And Araunah looked forth, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him; and Araunah went out, and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.

21 Kaie bawipa siangpahrang teh a san koe bangkongmaw a tho telah atipouh. Devit ni taminaw koe Lacik a kangkhoung thai nahan BAWIPA hanelah thuengnae sak hanelah ka ngai teh nange laikawk ka ran hanelah ka tho telah atipouh.

And Araunah said: 'Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant?' And David said: 'To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.'

22 Araunah ni Devit koevah, siangpahrang ka bawipa, ahawi na tie patetlah thueng yawkaw naseh. Hmaisawi thueng nahanelah maitotannaw ao. Thing hanelah laikawk puengcang, maitonaw e puengcangnaw hai ao telah atipouh.

And Araunah said unto David: 'Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him; behold the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-instruments and the furniture of the oxen for the wood.'

23 Oe siangpahrang, hetnaw pueng Araunah ni siangpahrang koevah a poe telah ati. Araunah ni siangpahrang koevah, BAWIPA na Cathut ni na coe lawi naseh telah atipouh.

All this did Araunah the king give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king: 'The LORD thy God accept thee.'

24 Siangpahrang ni Araunah koevah telah nahoeh, aphu hoi na ran pouh han. Banghai pâbaw laipalah BAWIPA ka Cathut koe hmaisawi thuengnae ka poe mahoeh telah ati. Devit ni tangka shekel 50 touh hoi cangkatinnae hmuen hoi maitonaw hah a ran.

And the king said unto Araunah: 'Nay; but I will verily buy it of thee at a price; neither will I offer burnt-offerings unto the LORD my God which cost me nothing.' So David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

25 Devit ni haw e a hmuen koe BAWIPA hanelah thuengnae a sak teh, hmaisawi thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae a poe. BAWIPA ni Isarel ram hanelah ratoumnae lawk hah a thai teh Lacik teh a kangkhoung toe.

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