< Kings II 24 >

1 And the Lord caused his anger to burn forth again in Israel, and [Satan] stirred up David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Juda.
Mirima nochako omako Jehova Nyasaye kod Israel omiyo nochwalo Daudi motimo gimoro madihinygi, kowachone niya, “Dhiyo mondo ikwan jo-Israel gi jo-Juda.”
2 And the king said to Joab commander of the host, who was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel and Juda, from Dan even to Bersabee, and number the people, and I will know the number of the people.
Omiyo ruoth nowachone Joab kod jotend jolweny mane ni kode niya, “Dhiuru e dhoudi duto mag Israel kochakore Dan nyaka Bersheba mondo ukwan jolweny, eka angʼe ni gin ji adi.”
3 And Joab said to the king, Now may the Lord add to the people a hundred-fold as many as they are, and [may] the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king desire this thing?
To Joab nodwoko ruoth niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi med jolweny nyadi mia achiel ka ruodha ma en ruoth neno gi wangʼe. To en angʼo momiyo ruoth ma en ruodha didwar timo gima chal kama?”
4 Nevertheless the word of the king prevailed against Joab an the captains of the host: And Joab and the captains of the host went out before the king to number the people of Israel.
Kata kamano ruoth notamo Joab gi jotelo mag lweny; kuom mano ne giwuok e nyim ruoth mondo gidhi gikwan jolweny e Israel.
5 And they went over Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right of the city which is in the midst of the valley of Gad and Eliezer.
Bangʼ kane gisengʼado aora Jordan, negibuoro machiegni gi Aroer, man yo milambo mar dala manie geng holo, eka negikadho Gad ma gidhi nyaka Jazer.
6 And they came to Galaad, and into the land of Thabason, which is Adasai, and they came to Danidan and Udan, and compassed Sidon.
Negidhi Gilead kod gwenge mag Tatim Hodshi, mi gikadho nyaka Dan Jaan kendo negigomo ka gichiko Sidon.
7 And they came to Mapsar of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Evite and the Chananite: and they came by the South of Juda to Bersabee.
Bangʼe negichiko dala mochiel gohinga mar Turo kod dala duto mag jo-Hivi kod mago mag jo-Kanaan. Mogik, negidhi Bersheba man Negev e piny Juda.
8 And they compassed the whole land; and they arrived at Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
Bangʼ dweche ochiko gi ndalo piero ariyo kane gisewuotho e piny duto, negidwogo Jerusalem.
9 And Joab gave in the number of the census of the people to the king: and Israel consisted of eight hundred thousand men of might that drew sword; and the men of Juda, five hundred thousand fighting men.
Joab nokelo ne ruoth kar kwan jolweny kama: Kuom jo-Israel ne nitie ji alufu mia aboro maroteke mane nyalo kedo gi ligangla to kuom jo-Juda ne nitie ji alufu mia abich.
10 And the heart of David struck him after he had numbered the people; and David said to the Lord, I have sinned grievously, O Lord, [in] what I have now done: remove, I pray you, the iniquity of your servant, for I have been exceedingly foolish.
Daudi chunye nochandore bangʼ kane osekwano jolweny, mi nowachone Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Asetimo richo maduongʼ kuom gima asetimoni. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, akwayi mondo igol richoni kuom jatichni, nimar asetimo gima ofuwo.”
11 And David rose early in the morning, and the word of the Lord came to the prophet Gad, the seer, saying, Go, and speak to David, saying,
Kane Daudi pok ochiewo kinyne gokinyi, wach Jehova Nyasaye nosebiro ne Gad janabi, mane en jakor wach mar Daudi:
12 Thus says the Lord, I bring [one of] three things upon you: now choose you one of them, and I will do [it] to you.
“Dhiyo iwach ni Daudi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Aketo weche adek e nyimi, yier achiel kuomgi monego atimni.’”
13 And Gad went in to David, and told him, and said to him, Choose [one of these things] to befall you, whether there shall come upon you [for] three years famine in your land; or that you should flee three months before your enemies, and they should pursue you; or that there should be [for] three days mortality in your land. Now then decide, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
Omiyo Gad nodhi ir Daudi mowachone niya, “Diyier mondo kech omak piny kuom higni adek? Koso diyier dweche adek kiringo wasiki malawi? Koso diyier ndalo adek mag masira? Koro par ane mondo imiya dwoko matero ni ngʼama ne oora.”
14 And David said to Gad, On every side I am much straitened: let me fall now into the hands of the Lord, for his compassions [are] very many; and let me not fall into the hands of man.
Daudi nodwoko Gad niya, “An-gi chuny lit ahinya. Ber mondo alwar e lwet Jehova Nyasaye, nikech ngʼwonone duongʼ, to kik iweya alwar e lwet ji.”
15 So David chose for himself the mortality: and [they were] the days of wheat harvest; and the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from morning till noon, and the plague began amongst the people; and there died of the people from Dan even to Bersabee seventy thousand men.
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nokelo masira kuom jo-Israel chakre okinyino nyaka kinde mane oketi norumo, kendo ji alufu piero abiriyo notho chakre Dan nyaka Bersheba.
16 And the angel of the Lord stretched out his hand against Jerusalem to destroy it, and the Lord repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, [It is] enough now, withhold your hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.
To kane malaika orieyo bade mondo oketh Jerusalem, chuny Jehova Nyasaye ne lit nikech masirano mi nowacho ni malaika mane nego ji niya, “Oromo! Dwok lweti piny.” Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye noyudo ochungʼ e kar dino cham mar Arauna ja-Jebus.
17 And David spoke to the Lord when he saw the angel striking the people, and he said, Behold, it is I that have done wrong, but these sheep what have they done? Let your hand, I pray you, be upon me, and upon my father's house.
Kane Daudi oneno malaika mane nego ji, nowachone Jehova Nyasaye niya, “An ema asetimo richo kendo aseketho. Magi to mana rombe, angʼo magiseketho? Akwayi ni an ema ikuma kaachiel gi joga to kik iwe masira odongʼ kuom jogi.”
18 And Gad came to David in that day, and said to him, Go up, and set up to the Lord and altar in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.
Chiengʼno Gad nodhi ir Daudi mowachone niya, “Dhi malo mondo iger kendo mar misango ni Jehova Nyasaye e laru mar dino mar Arauna ja-Jebus.”
19 And David went up according to the word of Gad, as the Lord commanded him.
Omiyo Daudi nodhi malo mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechike kokadho kuom Gad.
20 And Orna looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on before him: and Orna went forth, and did obeisance to the king with his face to the earth.
Kane Arauna ogoyo wangʼe moneno ruoth gi joge kabiro ire, nowuok mokulore e nyim ruoth nyaka e lowo.
21 And Orna said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? and David said, To buy of you the threshing floor, in order to build an altar to the Lord that the plague may be restrained from off the people.
Arauna nopenje niya, “Angʼo mokelo ruodha ma en ruoth ir jatichne?” Daudi nodwoke niya, “Abiro ngʼiewo laru mar dino cham, mondo agerie kendo mar misango ni Jehova Nyasaye, eka tho manego ji orum.”
22 And Orna said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer to the Lord that which is good in his eyes: behold, [here are] oxen for a whole burnt offering, and the wheels and furniture of the oxen for wood.
Arauna nowacho ne Daudi niya, “We ruodha ma en ruoth okawe kendo otim kode gima chunye dwaro mondo otimgo misango. Rwedhi mag timo misango miwangʼo pep kod yiend dino kaachiel gi jok minyalo tigo kaka yien nika.
23 Orna gave all to the king: and Orna said to the king, The Lord your God bless you.
Gigi duto, yaye ruoth, Arauna ema osechiwo ne ruoth.” Arauna nomedo wachone niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi yie kodi.”
24 And the king said to Orna, Nay, but I will surely buy it of you at a fair price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God a whole burnt offering for nothing. So David purchased the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
To ruoth nodwoko Arauna niya, “Ooyo, nyaka achuli. Ok abi timo ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha misango miwangʼo pep gi gik mayudo nono.” Omiyo Daudi nochulo fedha madirom nus kilo kongʼiewogo laru mar dino kaachiel gi rwedhi.
25 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings: and Solomon made an addition to the altar afterwards, for it was little at first. And the Lord listened to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
Daudi nogero kendo mar misango ni Jehova Nyasaye kanyo kendo nochiwo misengini miwangʼo pep kaachiel misengini mag lalruok. Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowinjo lamo mane olemogo ni piny, kendo nogengʼo masira mane ni e piny Israel.
