Chronicles I 21
1 And the devil stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
Israel douna din, Satan’in Israel chate mijat simdin David lengpa atildoh tai.
2 And king David said to Joab and to the captains of the forces, Go, number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me [the account], and I shall know 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 add to his people, a hundred-fold as many as they [are], and [let] the eyes of my lord the king see [it]: all [are] the servants of my lord. Why does my lord seek this thing? [do it not], lest it become a 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 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab went out and passed 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 the number of the mustering of the people to David: and all Israel was a million and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and the sons of Juda [were] four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.
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 he numbered not Levi and Benjamin amongst them; for the word of the king was painful to Joab.
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 [there was] evil in the sight of the Lord respecting this thing; and he struck Israel.
Hichun, Pathen in mijatsim kibolchu alunghanpi jeh in ami Israelte chu gotna achantan ahi.
8 And David said to God, I have sinned exceedingly, in that I have done this thing: and now, I pray you, remove the sin of your servant; for I have been exceedingly foolish.
Chuphat’in David in Pathen jah a hitin aseitai, “Vo Kapathen, keiman nangma doumahtah kaboldoh tai, ngolhoitah hijongle neingaidam kit in,” ati.
9 And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer, saying,
Chuphatchun, Pathenin David ding’a mitva neiya pangpa Gad heng’a hitin aseitai,
10 Go and speak to David, saying, Thus says the Lord, I bring three things upon you: choose one of them for yourself, and I will 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 And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus says the Lord, Choose for yourself,
Hijeh chun David heng’a Gad ahung’in hitin aseitai, “Pathenin hicheng thum hi nagon pehtai,”
12 either three years of famine, or that you should flee three months from the face of your enemies, and the sword of your enemies [shall be employed] to destroy you, or that the sword of the Lord and pestilence [should be] three days in the land, and the angel of the Lord [shall be] destroying in all the inheritance of Israel. And now consider what I shall answer to him that sent the message.
“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, They are very hard for me, even [all] the three: let me fall now into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies [are] very abundant, and let me not fall by any means into the hands of man.
“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 brought pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel 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 to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the Lord saw, and repented for the evil, and said to the angel that was destroying, Let it suffice you; withhold your hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the threshing floor of Orna 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 lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord, standing between the earth and the heaven, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem: and David and the elders clothed in sackcloth, fell upon 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 [that] gave orders to number the people? and I am the guilty one; I have greatly sinned: but these sheep, what have they done? O Lord God, let your hand be upon me, and upon my father's house, and not on your people for destruction, O Lord!
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 And the angel of the Lord told Gad to tell David, that he should go up to erect and altar to the Lord, in the threshing floor of Orna 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 according to the word of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the Lord.
Hijeh chun David in Gad thulhut bangin Pathen thupeh chu boldin achetou tai.
20 And Orna turned and saw the king; and he hid himself and his four sons with him. Now Orna was threshing wheat.
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 David came to Orna; and Orna came forth from the threshing floor, and did obeisance to David with his face to the ground.
Araunah in David chu changphol ahinphah amu phat’in, a bolban dalhan Lengpa chu ana bohkhup tai.
22 And David said to Orna, Give me your place of the threshing floor, and I will build upon it an altar to the Lord: give it me for its worth in money, and the plague shall cease from [amongst] 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 Orna said to David, Take it to yourself, and let my lord the king do what is right in his eyes: see, I have given the calves for a whole burnt offering, and the plough for wood, and the corn for a meat-offering; I have given 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 Orna, Nay; for I will surely buy it for its worth in money: for I will not take your property for the Lord, to offer a whole burnt offering to the Lord without cost [to myself].
Ahivangin Leng David in Araunah adonbut in, “keiman aman lhingset napeng ting, nangma thil vang maicham thilto din kilah tha pong’e”.
25 And David gave to Orna for his place six hundred shekels of gold [by] weight.
Chuin, David in Araunah chu sana pheng jagup chu changphol man dingin apetai.
26 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings: and he cried to the Lord, and he answered him by fire out of heaven on the altar of whole burnt offerings, and [it] consumed the whole burnt 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 And the Lord spoke to the angel; and he put up the sword into its sheath.
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 answered him in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite, he also sacrificed there.
Pathen in amaicham sem asanpeh ahet phat’in David in jong Araunah changphol mun chun kilhaina maicham asemtai.
29 And the tabernacle of the Lord which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of whole burnt offerings, [were] at that time in the high place at Gabaon.
Hiche phat laiya hi, Pakai houbuh maicham le pumgo thilto maicham phung, Mose in gammang laiya anasem chu Gibeon mun a aumpet ahi.
30 And David could not go before it to enquire of God; for he hasted not because 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.
