2 Samuel 24
1 Again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He stirred up David against them, saying, “Go and take a census of Israel and Judah.”
Sie pac pacl ah, LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sin mwet Israel, ac El oru tuh David elan aklokoalokyalos. LEUM GOD el fahk nu sel, “Fahla oakla mwet Israel ac mwet Judah.”
2 So the king said to Joab the commander of his army, who was with him, “Go now throughout the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba and register the troops, so that I may know their number.”
Na David el sapkin nu sel Joab, captain lun un mwet mweun lal, “Fahla, us mwet pwapa lom ac fahsr sasla acn lun sruf nukewa in facl Israel, mutawauk e epang me oatula safla eir, ac oakla pisen mwet uh. Nga lungse etu lah elos mwet ekasr nufon.”
3 But Joab replied to the king, “May the LORD your God multiply the troops a hundred times over, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king want to do such a thing?”
A Joab el topuk nu sin tokosra, “Leum fulat, lela LEUM GOD lom Elan oru mwet Israel in pus pacl siofok liki pisalos misenge, ac lela tuh kom in moul ac liye na ke el oru an. Tusruktu, efu ku kom ke in oekyuk elos?”
4 Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders of the army departed from the presence of the king to count the troops of Israel.
Na tokosra el sap Joab ac mwet pwapa lal in akos na ma sap lal. Ac elos illa liki ye mutal ac som in oek mwet Israel.
5 They crossed the Jordan and camped near Aroer, south of the town in the middle of the valley, and proceeded toward Gad and Jazer.
Elos tupalla Infacl Jordan ac tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos eir in Aroer, siti se infulwen infahlfal se in acn Gad. Na elos sifil fahla liki acn we ac ut epang lac som nu Jazer,
6 Then they went to Gilead and the land of Tahtim-hodshi, and on to Dan-jaan and around to Sidon.
oayapa nu Gilead ac nu Kadesh, in acn lun mwet Hit. Na elos som nu Dan, ac tok elos som liki Dan, ut roto lac nu Sidon.
7 They went toward the fortress of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and Canaanites. Finally, they went on to the Negev of Judah, to Beersheba.
Na elos ut eir lac nu Tyre, sie siti oasr kalkal rauneak, ac tafwela pac nu in siti nukewa lun mwet Hiv ac mwet Canaan, ac safla na e Beersheba, su oan eir in acn Judah.
8 At the end of nine months and twenty days, having gone through the whole land, they returned to Jerusalem.
Ouinge, elos fufahsryesr in mutunfacl sac nufon, ac tukun malem eu ac len longoul elos folokla nu Jerusalem.
9 And Joab reported to the king the total number of the troops. In Israel there were 800,000 men of valor who drew the sword, and in Judah there were 500,000.
Elos akkalemye nu sin tokosra pisen mukul nukewa su ku in wi mweun, tuh na oasr oalfoko tausin mwet Israel ac lumfoko tausin mwet Judah.
10 After David had numbered the troops, his conscience was stricken and he said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. Now, O LORD, I beg You to take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.”
Ke David el orala oaoa sac tari, el luman oela kac, na el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Nga orala ma koluk na yohk se. Nunak munas, sisla koluk luk. Ma na lalfon se pa nga orala.”
11 When David got up in the morning, a revelation from the LORD had come to Gad the prophet, David’s seer:
Ke David el tukakek ke lotutang, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Gad, mwet palu lal David,
12 “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.’”
“Fahla fahk nu sel David lah nga fah sang nu sel ke mwe sulela tolu, ac el enenu in sulela sie. Nga ac fah oru ma se ma el ac sulela an.”
13 So Gad went and said to David, “Do you choose to endure three years of famine in your land, three months of fleeing the pursuit of your enemies, or three days of plague upon your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should reply to Him who sent me.”
Na Gad el som nu yorol David ac fahk oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk, na el siyuk sel, “Ma ya kac kom lungse uh? In oasr sracl fin facl sum ke yac tolu, ku kom in kaing liki mwet lokoalok lom ke malem tolu, ku in oasr mas upa se rauni facl sum ke len tolu? Inge nunku akwoye, na kom fah fahk topuk lom an nu sik, nga in folokla fahk nu sin LEUM GOD.”
14 David answered Gad, “I am deeply distressed. Please, let us fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men.”
Na David el fahk, “Nga arulana fohsak ac nikinyula! Tusruktu nga tia lungse ngan kalyeiyuk sin mwet uh. Lela in LEUM GOD na pa orek kaiyuk nu sesr, tuh El pakoten.”
15 So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel from that morning until the appointed time, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died.
Ouinge, LEUM GOD El supwala mas na upa se nu fin facl Israel, mutawauk ke lotutang sac nwe ke pacl se El sulela in tui. Mwet Israel itngoul tausin misa, mutawauk ke tafunyen epang me nwe eir.
16 But when the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the LORD relented from the calamity and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand now!” At that time the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Ke pacl se lipufan lun LEUM GOD akola in kunausla acn Jerusalem, na LEUM GOD El aolla nunak lal ke kaiyuk se el akola in oru nu sin mwet uh, ac el fahk nu sin lipufan se ma uniya mwet ah, “Tui! Tari fal!” Lipufan sac el muta ke acn in kulkul wheat lal Araunah, mwet Jebus.
17 When David saw the angel striking down the people, he said to the LORD, “Surely I, the shepherd, have sinned and acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Please, let Your hand fall upon me and my father’s house.”
David el liye lipufan se ma uniya mwet uh, ac el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Nga pa mwet se ma orala ma koluk se inge. Nga pa oasr mwata ke tafongla sac. Mea mwet inge orala? Fal kom in kaiyu ac sou luk uh.”
18 And that day Gad came to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
In len sacna, Gad el som nu yorol David ac fahk nu sel, “Utyak nu ke acn in kulkul wheat lal Araunah, ac musaela sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD we.”
19 So David went up at the word of Gad, just as the LORD had commanded.
David el akos sap lun LEUM GOD, ac el som oana ma Gad el fahk nu sel.
20 When Araunah looked out and saw the king and his servants coming toward him, he went out and bowed facedown before the king.
Araunah el ngeti ac liyal tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal ke elos fahsr in utyak nu yorol. El putati nu infohk uh ye mutal David
21 “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” Araunah said. “To buy your threshing floor,” David replied, “that I may build an altar to the LORD, so that the plague upon the people may be halted.”
ac siyuk, “Leum fulat, efu ku kom tuku?” David el topuk, “Nga tuku in molela acn in kulkul wheat lom uh, ac etoak sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD, in tulokinya mas upa se orek inge.”
22 Araunah said to David, “My lord the king may take whatever seems good and offer it up. Here are the oxen for a burnt offering and the threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood.
Na Araunah el fahk, “O leum fulat, eis na lom, ac kisakin kutena ma kom lungse nu sin LEUM GOD. Cow mukul pa inge — kom ku in orek mwe kisa firir kac fin loang an, ac srenenu lalos ac ipinsak ke acn in kulkul wheat uh ku in orekmakinyuk mwe etong.”
23 O king, Araunah gives all these to the king.” He also said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.”
Araunah el sang ma inge nukewa nu sin tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Lela LEUM GOD lom Elan insewowo ke mwe kisa lom.”
24 “No,” replied the king, “I insist on paying a price, for I will not offer to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
A tokosra el topuk, “Mo. Nga ac moli nu sum ke ma inge. Nga tia ku in sang nu sin LEUM GOD luk mwe kisa ma tuku nu sik ke wangin molo.” Na el molela acn in kulkul wheat sac ac cow mukul uh ke ipin silver lumngaul.
25 And there he built an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Then the LORD answered the prayers on behalf of the land, and the plague upon Israel was halted.
Ac el etoak sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD, ac kisakin mwe kisa firir, ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo. Ac LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal, ac mas upa se in acn Israel ah wanginla.
