1 Chronicles 21
1 Then Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel.
Alò, Satan te kanpe kont Israël e te bourade David pou kontwole moun Israël yo.
2 So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, “Go and count the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan and bring me a report, so that I may know their number.”
Pou sa, David te di a Joab, e a chèf a pèp yo: “Ale konte moun Israël yo soti Beer-Schéba jis rive Dan, e pote ban m chif yo pou m kab konnen fòs kantite yo.”
3 But Joab replied, “May the LORD multiply His troops a hundred times over. My lord the king, are they not all servants of my lord? Why does my lord want to do this? Why should he bring guilt on Israel?”
Joab te di: “Ke SENYÈ a kapab ogmante sou pèp li a san fwa ke sa! Men mèt mwen, wa a, èske yo tout se pa sèvitè mèt mwen an? Poukisa mèt mwen an ap chache afè sa a? Poukisa sa ta dwe koz pou Israël ta vin koupab?”
4 Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab. So Joab departed and traveled throughout Israel, and then he returned to Jerusalem.
Malgre sa, pawòl wa a te vin genyen kont pawòl Joab yo. Konsa, Joab te sòti ale nan tout Israël pou te rive Jérusalem.
5 And Joab reported to David the total number of the troops. In all Israel there were 1,100,000 men who drew the sword, including 470,000 in Judah.
Joab te bay nimewo a tout moun a David yo. Epi tout Israël, mesye ki te rale nepe yo, se te yon milyon-san-mil òm e Juda te kat-san-swasann-dis òm ki te rale nepe yo.
6 But Joab did not include Levi and Benjamin in the count, because the king’s command was detestable to him.
Men li pa t kontwole Lévi avèk Benjamin pami yo, paske kòmand wa a te twouve byen rayisab pou Joab.
7 This command was also evil in the sight of God; so He struck Israel.
“Bondye pa t kontan avèk bagay sa a e pou sa, li te frape Israël.
8 Then David said to God, “I have sinned greatly because I have done this thing. Now I beg You to take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.”
David te di a Bondye: Mwen te peche anpil, pwiske mwen te fè bagay sa a. Men souple, koulye a, retire inikite a sèvitè Ou a, paske mwen te fè yon bagay byen sòt.”
9 And the LORD instructed Gad, David’s seer,
SENYÈ a te pale ak Gad, konseye David la, epi te di l:
10 “Go and tell David that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am offering you three options. Choose one of them, and I will carry it out against you.’”
“Ale pale ak David. Di l: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, “M ap ofri ou twa bagay. Chwazi pou kont ou youn nan yo, ke mwen va fè pou ou.”’”
11 So Gad went and said to David, “This is what the LORD says: ‘You must choose
Konsa, Gad te vin kote David. Li te di l: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, ‘Pran pou ou menm
12 between three years of famine, three months of being swept away before your enemies and overtaken by their swords, or three days of the sword of the LORD—days of plague upon the land, with the angel of the LORD ravaging every part of Israel.’ Now then, decide how I should reply to Him who sent me.”
oswa, twazan gwo grangou, oswa twa mwa ke ou va chase kraze nèt pa lènmi ou, pandan nepe pa yo ap pran ou nèt, oswa gwo epidemi nan peyi a avèk zanj SENYÈ a k ap detwi toupatou nan tout teritwa Israël la.’ Pou sa, reflechi sou repons ke mwen va retounen bay a Sila ki te voye mwen an.”
13 David answered Gad, “I am deeply distressed. Please, let me fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men.”
David te di a Gad: “Mwen byen twouble. Souple, kite mwen tonbe nan men SENYÈ a, paske mizerikòd Li byen gran. Men pa kite mwen tonbe nan men a lòm.”
14 So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell dead.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te voye epidemi sou Israël. Swasann-di-mil nan mesye Israël yo te tonbe.
15 Then God sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem, but as the angel was doing so, the LORD saw it and relented from the calamity, and He said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand now!” At that time the angel of the LORD was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Epi Bondye te voye yon zanj Jérusalem pou detwi vil la, men lè l te prè pou detwi, SENYÈ a te wè, e te lache de gwo dega a. Li te di a zanj ki t ap detwi a: “Sa kont. Alò, lache men ou.” Zanj SENYÈ a t ap kanpe akote glasi vannen ki pou Ornan an, Jebizyen an.
16 When David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem, David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell facedown.
David te leve zye li, e te wè zanj SENYÈ a ki te kanpe antre syèl la avèk tè a, avèk nepe li rale nan men l, lonje sou Jérusalem. Konsa, David avèk ansyen yo te kouvri yo avèk twal sak e te tonbe sou figi yo.
17 And David said to God, “Was it not I who gave the order to count the people? I am the one who has sinned and acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? O LORD my God, please let Your hand fall upon me and my father’s house, but do not let this plague remain upon Your people.”
David te di a Bondye: “Èske se pa mwen menm ki te kòmande kontwòl a tout pèp la? Anverite, se te mwen ki te peche e ki te fè anpil mal. Men mouton sila yo, se kisa yo menm te fè? O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen an, souple, kite men Ou vin kont mwen avèk lakay zansèt mwen yo, men pa kont pèp Ou a, pou yo ta vin toumante.”
18 Then the angel of the LORD ordered Gad to tell David to go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Alò, zanj SENYÈ a te kòmande Gad pou pale David, pou David ta dwe monte pou bati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a sou glasi vannen ki te pou Ornan an, Jebizyen an.
19 So David went up at the word that Gad had spoken in the name of the LORD.
Konsa, David te monte selon pawòl ke Gad te pale nan non SENYÈ a.
20 Now Ornan was threshing wheat when he turned and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves.
Alò, Ornan te vire fè bak, e li te wè zanj lan. Kat fis pa li yo ki te avè l yo te kache tèt yo. Alò, Ornan t ap bat ble.
21 David came to Ornan, and when Ornan looked out and saw David, he left the threshing floor and bowed facedown before David.
Lè David te vin kote Ornan, Ornan te gade. Li te wè David e te sòti nan glasi vannen an pou te pwostène li menm devan David avèk figi li atè.
22 Then David said to Ornan, “Grant me the site of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar to the LORD. Sell it to me for the full price, so that the plague upon the people may be halted.”
Alò, David te di a Ornan: “Ban mwen anplasman sila a avèk glasi vannen an, pou m kab bati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a. Pou valè tout pri li, ou va ban mwen li, pou touman sila a kab vin frennen pami pèp la.”
23 Ornan said to David, “My lord the king may take whatever seems good. Look, I will give the oxen for the burnt offerings, the threshing sledges for the wood, and the wheat for the grain offering—I will give it all.”
Ornan te di a David: “Pran li pou kont ou, epi kite mèt mwen an, wa a, fè sa ki bon nan zye l. Gade, mwen bay ou bèf yo pou ofrann brile a ak mas pilon, kon bwa ak ble kon ofrann sereyal la. M ap ba ou tout.”
24 “No,” replied King David, “I insist on paying the full price, for I will not take for the LORD what belongs to you, nor will I offer burnt offerings that cost me nothing.”
Men Wa David te di a Ornan: “Non, men anverite, mwen va achte li pou tout pri li. Paske mwen p ap pran sa ki pou ou pou SENYÈ a, ni ofri ofrann brile ki pa t koute mwen anyen.”
25 So David paid Ornan six hundred shekels of gold for the site.
Konsa David te bay Ornan sis-san sik an lò selon pwa li pou anplasman an.
26 And there he built an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. He called upon the LORD, who answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.
Alò, David te bati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a la, e te ofri ofrann brile yo avèk ofrann lapè yo. Li te rele SENYÈ a, e Li te reponn li avèk dife soti nan syèl la sou lotèl ofrann brile a.
27 Then the LORD spoke to the angel, who put his sword back into its sheath.
SENYÈ a te kòmande zanj lan e li te remèt nepe li nan fouwo.
28 At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there.
Nan lè sa, lè David te wè ke SENYÈ a te reponn li sou glasi vannen Ornan an, Jebizyen an. Li te ofri yon sakrifis la.
29 For the tabernacle of the LORD that Moses had made in the wilderness and the altar of burnt offering were presently at the high place in Gibeon,
Paske tabènak SENYÈ a, ke Moïse te fè nan dezè a ak lotèl ofrann brile a te nan wo plas Gabaon an nan lè sa a.
30 but David could not go before it to inquire of God, because he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
Men David pa t kab ale devan li nan Gabaon pou fè demand Bondye, paske nepe zanj SENYÈ a te bay li gwo lakrent.
