< 1 Chronicles 21 >

1 Now Satan rose up against Israel, and he incited David so that he would number Israel.
Hahoi Setan ni Isarelnaw taran lahoi a thaw teh, Isarelnaw milu touk sak hanelah Devit hah a tacuek.
2 And David said to Joab and to the leaders of the people: “Go, and number Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan. And bring me the number, so that I may know it.”
Hatdawkvah, Devit ni Joab hoi a taminaw kahrawikung koe, Isarel miphun pueng Dan kho hoi Beersheba kho totouh cet awh nateh, tami nâyittouh maw tie ka panue thai nahan touk awh nateh kai koe bout na dei awh han telah atipouh.
3 And Joab responded: “May the Lord increase his people a hundred times more than they are. But, my lord the king, are they not all your servants? Why would my lord seek this thing, which may be imputed as a sin to Israel?”
Hatei, Joab ni siangpahrang koevah, BAWIPA ni taminaw teh a let 100 touh haiyah pungdaw sak naseh, siangpahrang ka bawipa e misa lah koung kaawm nahoehmaw, ka bawipa ni bangkongmaw hot hah panue han na ngai, bangdawkmaw Isarelnaw kâtapoe sak hanelah na sak vaw atipouh.
4 But the word of the king prevailed instead. And Joab went away, and he traveled around, through all of Israel. And he returned to Jerusalem.
Hateiteh siangpahrang e lawk teh Joab ni ek thai hoeh. Hatdawkvah, Joab ni Isarel ram pueng dawk a cei teh, Jerusalem vah bout a ban.
5 And he gave to David the number of those whom he had surveyed. And the entire number of Israel was found to be one million and one hundred thousand men who could draw the sword; but from Judah, there were four hundred and seventy thousand men of war.
Joab ni tami kaawm e yit touh Devit koe bout a dei pouh. Isarel ram dawk tahloi ka patuem e 1, 100, 000 touh a pha awh.
6 But Levi and Benjamin he did not number. For Joab executed the orders of the king unwillingly.
Hateiteh, Levihnaw hoi Benjaminnaw teh touk awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang e lawk teh Joab hanelah panuet a tho.
7 Then God was displeased with what had been ordered, and so he struck Israel.
Hote kong teh Cathut ni a ngai hoeh dawkvah, Isarelnaw hah a thei.
8 And David said to God: “I have sinned exceedingly in doing this. I beg you take away the iniquity of your servant. For I have acted unwisely.”
Devit ni Cathut koe hete ka sak e dawkvah puenghoi ka payon toe. Hatei nakunghai na sanpa kai ni ka payon, kai heh na pahren nateh, na ngaithoum yawkaw ei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, pathunae hno ka sak toe telah ati.
9 And the Lord spoke to Gad, the seer of David, saying:
BAWIPA ni Devit e profet Gad koe vah,
10 “Go, and speak to David, and tell him: Thus says the Lord: I give to you the option of three things. Choose the one that you will want, and I will do it to you.”
Cet nateh, Devit koe hettelah dei pouh. Hno kathum touh nang koe na patue. Nang dawk kai ni ka sak hane buetbuet touh kârawi leih telah dei pouh telah atipouh.
11 And when Gad had gone to David, he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Choose what you will want:
Gad teh Devit koe a cei teh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, na ngai e kârawi leih.
12 Either three years of famine, or three months for you to flee from your enemies, unable to escape from their sword, or three days for the sword of the Lord and a pestilence to turn within the land, with the Angel of the Lord killing in every part of Israel. Now therefore, see what I should respond to him who sent me.”
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, kum thum touh thung takang ka tho sak maw na ngai, Nahoeh pawiteh, thapa yung thum touh tarannaw ni na pâlei maw na ngai, Nahoeh pawiteh, hnin thum touh thung Lacik ka phasak maw na ngai. Na kapatounkung koe bangtelamaw ka dei pouh han, atu kâpouk nateh, dei haw telah atipouh.
13 And David said to Gad: “There are difficulties pressing upon me from every side. But it is better for me to fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies are many, than into the hands of men.”
Devit ni Gad koevah, ka lung rei a thai, kho lah king a bing. BAWIPA e kut dawk ka bawt yawkaw naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lungmanae teh a len. Tami e a kut dawk teh na phat sak hanh telah atipouh.
14 Therefore, the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel. And there fell from Israel seventy thousand men.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw thung lacik a pha sak teh, Isarelnaw tami 70, 000 touh a due awh.
15 Also, he sent an Angel to Jerusalem, so that he might strike it. And while he was striking, the Lord saw and took pity over the magnitude of the harm. And he commanded the Angel who was striking: “It is enough. Now let your hand cease.” And the Angel of the Lord was standing beside the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Hahoi Jerusalem raphoe hanelah, Cathut ni kalvantami a patoun teh, raphoe hane a kâcai navah, BAWIPA ni a khet teh, hawihoehnae sak han a noe e hah bout a kâhno. Ka raphoe e kalvantami koevah, a khout toe na kut dâw hanh lawi telah atipouh teh, BAWIPA e kalvantami teh Jebusit tami Ornan e cangkatinnae teng vah a kangdue.
16 And David, lifting up his eyes, saw the Angel of the Lord, standing between heaven and earth with a drawn sword in his hand, turned toward Jerusalem. And both he and those greater by birth, being clothed in haircloth, fell prone upon the ground.
Devit ni kho a radoung teh, BAWIPA kalvantami tahloi a rayu nalaihoi Jerusalem koelah a nue teh, talai hoi kalvan a rahak dawk a kangdue e hah a hmu. Hatdawkvah, Devit hoi kacuenaw ni buri a kâramuk awh teh, talai dawk a tabo awh.
17 And David said to God: “Am I not the one who ordered that the people be numbered? It is I who sinned; it is I who did evil. This flock, what does it deserve? O Lord my God, I beg you to let your hand be turned against me and against the house of my father. But let not your people be struck down.”
Devit ni Cathut koe taminaw touk hane kâ kapoekung teh kai nahoehmaw. Kai heh yonnae ka sak e, kahawihoehe poung lah hno ka sak e teh kai doeh. Hetnaw ni bangmaw a sak awh. Oe BAWIPA ka Cathut, kai hoi ka imthungnaw dawk na kut pho nateh, na taminaw ni lacik hah khang awh hanh naseh, telah ati.
18 Then the Angel of the Lord instructed Gad to tell David that he should ascend and build an altar to the Lord God on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA kalvantami ni Jebusit tami Ornan e cangkatinnae koevah Devit a cei vaiteh, BAWIPA hanelah thuengnae khoungroe kangdue sak hanelah, Devit koe dei pouh hanelah Gad koe kâ a poe.
19 Therefore, David ascended, in accord with the word of Gad, which he had spoken to him in the name of the Lord.
A dei e patetlah Gad ni BAWIPA min lahoi a dei pouh e patetlah Devit teh a cei.
20 Now when Ornan had looked up and seen the Angel, he and his four sons hid themselves. For at that time, he was threshing wheat upon the floor.
Ornan ni a kamlang teh kalvantami hah a hmu. Ahni koe kaawm e a capa 4 touh a kâhro. Ornan ma teh cang a katin.
21 Then, as David was approaching Ornan, Ornan saw him, and he went out from the threshing floor to meet him. And he reverenced him prone on the ground.
Hottelah Devit ni Ornan koe a pha teh, Ornan ni a khet navah, Devit hah a hmu. Cang a katin e pak a tha teh, Devit e hmalah talai dawk a tabo.
22 And David said to him: “Give this place of your threshing floor to me, so that I may build an altar to the Lord upon it. And you shall accept from me as much money as it is worth, so that the plague may cease from the people.”
Devit ni BAWIPA hanelah thuengnae khoungroe ka sak thai nahanelah cangkatinnae hmuen hah na poe haw. Taminaw koehoi lacik a kâkayaw thai nahanelah, ka kuepcalah a phu na poe han telah atipouh.
23 But Ornan said to David: “Take it, and may my lord the king do whatever pleases him. Moreover, I give the oxen also as a holocaust, and the plow for wood, and the wheat for a sacrifice. I will offer all freely.”
Ornan ni Devit koe lat yawkaw, siangpahrang ka bawipa ni ahawi na tie patetlah sak yawkaw, khenhaw! hmaisawi thuengnae sak nahanelah maitotan hoi thueng hanelah cakong, tavai hoi thueng nahanelah cakang hai na poe han. Abuemlahoi koung na poe telah atipouh.
24 And king David said to him: “By no means shall it be so. Instead, I will give money to you, as much as it is worth. For I must not take it from you, and thereby offer to the Lord holocausts that cost nothing.”
Siangpahrang Devit ni Ornan koevah, telah nahoeh. Aphu hoi kâran han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA hanlah nange ka lat mahoeh. Banghai baw laipalah thuengnae sathei hah ka poe mahoeh atipouh.
25 Therefore, David gave Ornan, for the place, the very just weight of six hundred shekels of gold.
Hatdawkvah, Devit ni hote hmuen teh Ornan koe sui shekel 600 touh hoi a ran.
26 And he built an altar to the Lord there. And he offered holocausts and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord. And he heeded him by sending fire from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust.
Devit ni hote hmuen koe BAWIPA hanlah khoungroe a sak teh, sathei thuengnae hoi roum thuengnae sathei poenae a sak. BAWIPA a kaw teh khoungroe dawkvah kalvan lahoi hmai hoi a pato.
27 And the Lord instructed the Angel, and he turned his sword back into its sheath.
BAWIPA ni kalvantaminaw hah kâ a poe teh, tahloi teh a tabu dawk bout a pâseng.
28 Then, seeing that the Lord had heeded him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, David immediately immolated victims there.
Devit ni Jebusit tami Ornan e cangkatinnae koehoi BAWIPA ni na pato tie hah a panue torei teh, hawvah thueng a sak.
29 But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses had made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, were at that time on the high place of Gibeon.
Hatnae tueng dawkvah, Mosi ni kahrawngum BAWIPA e lukkareiim hoi hmaisawinae khoungroe a sak e hah, Gibeon kho e hmuenrasang doeh ao rah.
30 And David was unable to go to the altar, so that he might pray to God there. For he had been struck with an exceedingly great fear, seeing the sword of the Angel of the Lord.
Hateiteh, Cathut koe pouknae hei hanelah Devit ni a hmalah cet thai hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e kalvantami e tahloi hah a taki.
