1 Chronicles 21
1 Now Satan, designing evil against Israel, put into David's mind the impulse to take the number of Israel.
Israel douna din, Satan’in Israel chate mijat simdin David lengpa atildoh tai.
2 And David said to Joab and the captains of the people, Now let all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, be numbered; and give me word so that I may be certain of their number.
Hijeh hin David nin Joab le a sepai lamkai ho jah ah, “Sahlam gamkai Bersheba apat lhumlam gamkai Dan chan gei Israel mijat gasim uvin lang, nasimdoh jat u chu kaheng’a hinchoi’un, keiman kahet nom’e.
3 And Joab said, May the Lord make his people a hundred times more in number than they are; but, my lord king, are they not all my lord's servants? why would my lord have this done? why will he become a cause of sin to Israel?
Ahin Joab’in adonbut’in, “Pakaiyin Israel chate ajat ja’n hin punsah hen. Ahin ka Pakai le ka Lengpa, amaho khu namite hilou ham? Iding’a ka Pakaipa’n hiche nabol nom ham? Iding’a Israelte chung’a themmona lhunsah ding nagot ham?” ati.
4 But the king's word was stronger than Joab's. So Joab went out and went through all Israel and came to Jerusalem.
Ahivang’in, lengpan athusei chu apetchah in, hijehchun Joab jong lengpa thupeh nit’in Israel chate chenna gam jousea mijat agasim in Jerusalem ahung kile tai.
5 And Joab gave David the number of all the people; all the men of Israel, able to take up arms, were one million, one hundred thousand men; and those of Judah were four hundred and seventy thousand men, able to take up arms.
Hichun ajatsimdoh jat chu David heng’a ahetsah tai. Gaalhang chemjam lamthei cheh chu mi nel khat le sang jakhat alhingin, Judah mite jong Sang jali le sang somsagi alhing uve.
6 But Levi and Benjamin were not numbered among them, for Joab was disgusted with the king's order.
Hiche jatsim ahin Joab in Levi mite le Benjamin mite vang asimtha pon ahi ajehchu, lengpa thupeh chu Joab in ama boldia adeimo behseh jeng ahi.
7 And God was not pleased with this thing; so he sent punishment on Israel.
Hichun, Pathen in mijatsim kibolchu alunghanpi jeh in ami Israelte chu gotna achantan ahi.
8 Then David said to God, Great has been my sin in doing this; but now, be pleased to take away the sin of your servant, for I have done very foolishly.
Chuphat’in David in Pathen jah a hitin aseitai, “Vo Kapathen, keiman nangma doumahtah kaboldoh tai, ngolhoitah hijongle neingaidam kit in,” ati.
9 Then the word of the Lord came to Gad, David's seer, saying,
Chuphatchun, Pathenin David ding’a mitva neiya pangpa Gad heng’a hitin aseitai,
10 Go and say to David, The Lord says, Three things are offered to you: say which of them you will have, so that I may do it to you.
“David heng’a gache’n lang Pathen in hitin aseiye tin gaseipeh tan”, gimbolna thum lah a hin khat kilhen inlang, hichu keiman ka guilhun sah teiding ahi”, ati.
11 So Gad came to David and said to him, The Lord says, Take whichever you will:
Hijeh chun David heng’a Gad ahung’in hitin aseitai, “Pathenin hicheng thum hi nagon pehtai,”
12 Three years when there will not be enough food; or three months of war, when you will go in flight before your haters, being in great danger of the sword; or three days of the sword of the Lord, disease in the land, and the angel of the Lord taking destruction through all the land of Israel. Now give thought to the answer I am to take back to him who sent me.
“Kum thum sung’a kel lhah ding nadei’am, na galmiten chemjam a lhathum sungsea nasuhgam ding nalhen ding ham ahiloule, ni thum sung a gamna hise nasatah a lhung’a nalenggam sung pumpia pakai vantil in namite asuhgam ding hoichi nalhen joh ding ham?” “Eihin solpa Pathen heng’a iti kalhut ding nalhen joh hitam?” ati.
13 And David said to Gad, This is a hard decision for me to make: let me come into the hands of the Lord, for great are his mercies: let me not come into the hands of men.
“Kadinmun ahahsa valtai” tin David in Gad jah a aseitai. “iti nama jongle mihem khut a kipeh sang’in Ka Pakai, Ka Pathen khut joh’in kipelut tang’e. Ajehchu, amihepina kidangtahchu kakinem nalaiye” ati.
14 So the Lord sent disease on Israel, causing the death of seventy thousand men.
Hichun, Pathenin Israelte lah a gamna hise alan sah tan, mi sangsom sagi jen in thina atoh tai.
15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem for its destruction: and when he was about to do so, the Lord saw, and had regret for the evil, and said to the angel of destruction, It is enough; do no more. Now the angel of the Lord was by the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Chuban’a jong, Pathenin Jerusalem sugamhel din mithat vantil ahinsoltan ahileh, akigotjinglai un, Pathenin alung ahin heiyin, vantil jah’a, “Aphaset tai, ngatan” tin aseitai. Chupettah chun, mithat vantil chu Jerusalem chungvum’a ana pansa tan ahi. Hichu Jebus mipa Araunah changphol ahitai.
16 And David, lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord there between earth and heaven, with an uncovered sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the responsible men, clothed in haircloth, went down on their faces.
David in vanlang a Pakai vantil ten chemjam pum a Jerusalem suhgam ding agot u amu phat’in. Israel lamkai pipuho toh kisih pumin tol lang ngan, khaodip ponsil pum’in.
17 And David said to God, Was it not I who gave the order for the people to be numbered? It is I who have done the sin and the great wrong; but these are only sheep; what have they done? let your hand, O Lord God, be lifted up against me and against my family, but not against your people to send disease on them.
Chuin, David in Pathen jah’a aseitai, “Israelte mijatsim ding’a thupeh nei chu keima kahi, abolkhel le achonse chu keima kahi, kamite vang kelngoi bang’a themmona ipi aboldoh u hitam? O ka Pakai le ka Pathen’u, nalunghanna kei le ka insung mite chung’a chuhsah tan, namite vang sugam hih hel in.
18 Then the angel of the Lord gave orders to Gad to say to David that he was to go and put up an altar to the Lord on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Hichun, Pakai vantil’in Gad jah a David achetou a Jebus mipa Araunah changphol a maichamphung asah din thupeh aneitai.
19 And David went up, as Gad had said in the name of the Lord.
Hijeh chun David in Gad thulhut bangin Pathen thupeh chu boldin achetou tai.
20 And Ornan, turning back, saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him went to a secret place. Now Ornan was crushing his grain.
Araunah le achapate mi li chun suhlou chang ana den pettah in Vantil chu amu uvin ahileh, achapate chu akichat jeh un ajam uvin akisel gam taove.
21 And when David came, Ornan, looking, saw him, and came out from the grain-floor and went down on his face to the earth before him.
Araunah in David chu changphol ahinphah amu phat’in, a bolban dalhan Lengpa chu ana bohkhup tai.
22 Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place where this grain-floor is, so that I may put up an altar here to the Lord: let me have it for its full price; so that this disease may be stopped among the people.
David in Araunah jah a hitin aseitai, “Na Changphol mun hi aman lhingsel keiman nape’ng ting, Pakai maicham phungkhat satang’e, chuteng Pakai lunghan na hiche gimna hise jong thip tante”.
23 And Ornan said to David, Take it, and let my lord the king do what seems right to him. See, I give you the oxen for burned offerings and the grain-cleaning instruments for fire-wood, and the grain for the meal offering; I give it all.
“Kilah inlang nadei bangtah in mangcha tan Kapu, chujongleh keiman Pumgo thilto a manchah din Bongchalte, maicham mei ti nadin changsuh thing chule, thilto din suhlou chang jong pehtha nge” tin Araunah in David jah a aseitai.
24 And King David said to Ornan, No; I will certainly give you the full price for it, because I will not take for the Lord what is yours, or give a burned offering without payment.
Ahivangin Leng David in Araunah adonbut in, “keiman aman lhingset napeng ting, nangma thil vang maicham thilto din kilah tha pong’e”.
25 So David gave Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
Chuin, David in Araunah chu sana pheng jagup chu changphol man dingin apetai.
26 And David put up an altar there to the Lord, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings with prayers to the Lord; and he gave him an answer from heaven, sending fire on the altar of burned offering.
Hilaimun hin David in maicham phungkhat asan, pumgo thilto le kichamna maicham asemin, taona amang tan ahile, Pathenin asanpeh hetna din van'a kon meikou ahin sol lhan pumgo thilto jouse akavam hel tai.
27 Then the Lord gave orders to the angel, and he put back his sword into its cover.
Hijeh chun Pathenin Chemjam ana lam’a kigo vantil chu a chempai a anungkoi din thu ape tai.
28 At that time, when David saw that the Lord had given him an answer on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he made an offering there.
Pathen in amaicham sem asanpeh ahet phat’in David in jong Araunah changphol mun chun kilhaina maicham asemtai.
29 For the House of the Lord, which Moses had made in the waste land, and the altar of burned offerings, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
Hiche phat laiya hi, Pakai houbuh maicham le pumgo thilto maicham phung, Mose in gammang laiya anasem chu Gibeon mun a aumpet ahi.
30 But David was not able to go before it to get directions from the Lord, so great was his fear of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
Ahivangin David chun hiche laimun a chu Pathen lung gahol a gache ding chu agel le mithat vantil chemjam toh gotsa dem a anaum jeh chun angapcha pon ahi.
