1 Weche Mag Ndalo 21
1 Satan ne dwaro hinyo jo-Israel omiyo nosundo Daudi mondo okwan jo-Israel.
Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to take a census of Israel.
2 Daudi nowachone Joab kaachiel gi jotend jolweny niya, “Dhiuru kendo ukwan jo-Israel kochakore Bersheba nyaka chop Dan, bangʼe to inyisa kar rombgi mondo mi angʼe ni gin ji adi.”
David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, “Go, count Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know how many there are.”
3 To Joab nodwoke niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye med jolweny madirom nyadi mia achiel. Ruodha kendo jatenda, to donge gin duto gin jo-ruoth? To en angʼo momiyo ruoth ma en ruodha didwar timo richo machal kama ni Israel?”
Joab said, “May Yahweh 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 Kata kamano ruoth notamo Joab omiyo Joab nowuok modhi e piny jo-Israel duto, bangʼe noduogo Jerusalem.
Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel, then came to Jerusalem.
5 Joab nokelo ne Daudi kar kwan jolweny kama: Kuom jo-Israel ne nitie ji tara achiel gi alufu mia achiel mane nyalo tingʼo ligangla koriwore gi jo-Juda alufu mia angʼwen gi piero abiriyo.
Joab gave the sum of the census of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew a sword; and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who drew a sword.
6 To Joab ne ok okwano jo-Lawi kod jo-Benjamin nikech nosin gi chik ruoth.
But he didn’t count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.
7 Chikni ne rach ahinya e nyim wangʼ Nyasaye omiyo nokumo jo-Israel.
God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel.
8 Eka Daudi nowacho ni Nyasaye niya, “Asetimo richo maduongʼ kuom gima asetimoni. To koro akwayi mondo igol richoni kuom jatichni. Asetimo gima ofuwo ahinya.”
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 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Gad ma jokor wach mar Daudi niya,
Yahweh spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying,
10 “Dhiyo iwach ni Daudi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Aketo weche adek e nyimi. Yier achiel kuomgi monego atimni.’”
“Go and speak to David, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”
11 Omiyo Gad nodhi ir Daudi mowachone niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye owacho: ‘Kaw achiel kuomgi:
So Gad came to David and said to him, “Yahweh says, ‘Take your choice:
12 higni adek mag kech, dweche adek ma wasiku biro lawoue gi ligangla ka negou kata ndalo adek mar ligangla mar Jehova Nyasaye (ma en ndalo mag dera marach e piny), ka malaika Jehova Nyasaye neko kamoro amora e piny Israel.’ Koro par ane mondo imiya dwoko matero ni ngʼama ne oora.”
either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days of the sword of Yahweh, even pestilence in the land, and Yahweh’s angel destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.’”
13 Daudi nodwoko Gad niya, “An-gi chuny lit ahinya. Ber mondo alwar e lwet Jehova Nyasaye nikech ngʼwonone duongʼ, to kik iweya mondo alwar e lwet ji.”
David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into Yahweh’s hand, for his mercies are very great. Don’t let me fall into man’s hand.”
14 Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nokelo masira kuom jo-Israel kendo nonego jo-Israel alufu piero abiriyo.
So Yahweh sent a pestilence on Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
15 Kendo Nyasaye nooro malaika mondo oketh Jerusalem. To kane malaikano timo kamano Jehova Nyasaye noneno mano mi okuyo nikech tim malichno mi nonyiso malaika mane nego ji niya, “Oromo! Koro dwok lweti.” Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye noyudo ochungʼ e kar dino cham mar Arauna ja-Jebus.
God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, Yahweh saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” Yahweh’s angel was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 Daudi nongʼiyo malo ma oneno malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye kochungo e kind polo gi piny ka otingʼo ligangla mager e lwete mane orieyo kuom Jerusalem. Bangʼe Daudi gi jodongo nopodho piny auma ka girwakore gi pien gugru.
David lifted up his eyes, and saw Yahweh’s angel 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 Daudi nowacho ni Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Donge an ema nagolo chik mondo okwan joma nyalo dhi e lweny? An ma an jakwath ema asetimo richo kendo aseketho. Magi to gin mana rombe, angʼo magiseketho? Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha, akwayi ni an ema ikuma kaachiel gi joga to kik iwe masira odongʼ kuom jogi.”
David said to God, “Isn’t it I who commanded the people to be counted? It is even I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, O Yahweh my God, be against me and against my father’s house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued.”
18 Bangʼe malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Gad mondo onyis Daudi odhi malo kar dino cham ma Arauna ja-Jebus mondo oger kendo mar misango ni Jehova Nyasaye.
Then Yahweh’s angel commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up and raise an altar to Yahweh on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 Omiyo Daudi nodhi malo kaluwore gi wach mane Gad osewachone kuom nying Jehova Nyasaye.
David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in Yahweh’s name.
20 Kane Arauna dino ngano, notingʼo wangʼe ma oneno malaika, yawuote mane ni kode nopondo.
Ornan turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
21 Bangʼe Daudi nodhi ire, kane Arauna ogoyo wangʼe monene, nowuok kar dino mokulore auma nyaka e lowo e nyim Daudi.
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 Daudi nonyise niya, “Yie imiya laru mar dino cham mondo angʼiew mondo agerie kendo mar misango ni Jehova Nyasaye eka tho manego ji orum. Yie iusnago e kar romb nengone duto.”
Then David said to Ornan, “Sell me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar to Yahweh on it. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”
23 Arauna nowacho ne Daudi niya, “Kawe! Mad ruodha ma jatenda okawe kendo otim kode gima chunye dwaro. Ne, anamiyi rwedhi mondo ichiw kaka misango miwangʼo pep, kod gige dino kaka yien kaachiel gi ngano kaka cham michiwo; abiro chiwogi duto.”
Ornan said to David, “Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Behold, 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 To Ruoth Daudi nodwoko Arauna niya, “Ooyo, nyaka achuli nengone duto mowinjore kode.” Ok anayie ngangʼ kawo ne Jehova Nyasaye giri nono kata timo misango miwangʼo pep ma ok achuloe gimoro.
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 Yahweh, nor offer a burnt offering that costs me nothing.”
25 Omiyo Daudi nochulo Arauna pesa mag dhahabu ma dirom kilo abiriyo mane nengo kar dinono.
So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
26 Daudi nogero kendo mar misango ni Jehova Nyasaye kanyo kendo nochiwo misango miwangʼo pep kod chiwo mar lalruok. Noluongo Jehova Nyasaye, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke gi mach moa e polo kalwar e kendo mar misango miwangʼo pep.
David built an altar to Yahweh there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on Yahweh; and he answered him from the sky by fire on the altar of burnt offering.
27 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo gi malaika mine odwoko liganglane e olalo mare.
Then Yahweh commanded the angel, and he put his sword back into its sheath.
28 E sechego Daudi notimo misengini kanyo kane oneno ni Jehova Nyasaye osedwoke e laru mar dino mar Arauna ja-Jebus.
At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29 Hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye mane Musa oloso e thim, kaachiel gi kendo mar misango miwangʼo pep e kindego ne pod nitiere e kar lemo man Gibeon.
For Yahweh’s tabernacle, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
30 Kata kamano, Daudi ne ok nyal dhiyo bute mondo openj Nyasaye nikech ne oluoro ligangla mar malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye.
But David couldn’t go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid because of the sword of Yahweh’s angel.
