1 Chronicles 21
1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
Satan loh Israel a thoh thil tih Israel tae hamla David a vueh.
2 And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
Te dongah David loh Joab taeng neh pilnam mangpa rhoek taengah, “Cet uh lamtah Israel he Beersheba lamloh Dan duela tae uh. Te phoeiah kai taengla ha puen uh lamtah a hlangmi te ka ming van eh,” a ti nah.
3 And Joab said, Jehovah add to his people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold: are they not all, my lord O king, my lord's servants? why does my lord require this thing? why should he become a trespass to Israel?
Tedae Joab loh, “BOEIPA loh a pilnam te a pueh yakhat la a thap bitko. Ka boei manghai aw, amih boeih te ka boei taengah sal la a om uh moenih a? Ka boeipa loh balae tih he he a hue. Balae tih Israel soah dumlai la a om eh?” a ti.
4 But the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab departed, and went through all Israel, and came [again] to Jerusalem.
Tedae manghai kah ol loh Joab te a khum a la. Te dongah Joab te nong tih Israel tom te a pha phoeiah Jerusalem la pawk.
5 And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. And all they of Israel were eleven hundred thousand men that drew sword; and of Judah, four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.
Te phoeiah Joab loh pilnam hlangboel hlangmi te David taengla a paek. Te vaengah Israel boeih te cunghang aka pom thai hlang thawng thawng khat neh thawng yakhat om. Judah kah cunghang aka pom hlang he thawng ya li neh thawng sawmrhih lo.
6 But Levi and Benjamin he did not count among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
Tedae manghai ol loh Joab te a tuei dongah Levi neh Benjamin tah amih lakli ah nuen sak pawh.
7 And God was displeased on account of this thing, and he smote Israel.
He ol he Pathen mik ah a lolh dongah Israel te a ngawn.
8 And David said to God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing; and now, I beseech thee, put away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
David loh Pathen taengah, “He kah hno ka saii he bahoeng ka tholh coeng. Na sal kah thaesainah he khuen mai laeh, ka pavai tangkik dongah ni,” a ti nah.
9 And Jehovah spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh David kah khohmu Gad te a voek tih,
10 Go and speak to David saying, Thus saith Jehovah: I offer thee three [things]; choose one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
“Cet lamtah David te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. ‘Kai loh nang te pathum kan doe tih te khuikah pakhat te namah ham tuek lamtah nang taengah kan saii eh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
11 And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah:
Te phoeiah Gad te David taengla pawk tih amah te, “BOEIPA loh a thui he namah ham doe laeh.
12 Choose thee, either three years of famine, or three months to be destroyed before thine adversaries while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee, or three days the sword of Jehovah and the pestilence in the land, and the angel of Jehovah destroying through all the borders of Israel. And now consider what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
Khokha kum thum nim, na rhal mikhmuh lamloh hla thum na khoengvoep uh tih na thunkha kah cunghang loh n'kae te nim? Hnin thum khuiah BOEIPA kah cunghang neh diklai ah duektahaw la BOEIPA puencawn loh Israel kah khorhi tom ah a phae te nim? Mebang khaw hmu lamtah kai taengla ol ham mael laeh,” a ti nah.
13 And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah, for his mercies are very great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.
David loh Gad taengah, “Kai he puen ka cak tangkik coeng. A haidamnah he a len tangkik dongah BOEIPA kut ah ka tla mai eh. Tedae hlang kut ah tah ka tla boel eh,” a ti nah.
14 And Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Israel soah duektahaw a paek tih Israel hlang thawng sawmrhih cungku.
15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; and as he was destroying, Jehovah beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough; withdraw now thine hand. And the angel of Jehovah stood by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Te phoeiah Pathen loh Jerusalem phae hamla puencawn a tueih. Tedae a phae te BOEIPA loh a hmuh tanglang vaengah tah boethae khaw damti. Te dongah khopuei aka phae puencawn te, “Temah laeh saeh, na kut yuek laeh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah puencawn te Jebusi Ornan kah cangtilhmuen ah pai.
16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Jehovah stand between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. And David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.
David loh a mik a huel vaengah diklai laklo neh vaan laklo ah aka pai BOEIPA puencawn te a hmuh. Te long te a kut dongah a cunghang a muk tih Jerusalem te a nuen. Te dongah David neh a ham rhoek tah a maelhmai ah tlamhni neh a khuk uh tih bakop uh.
17 And David said to God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned and done evil; but these sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, Jehovah my God, be on me and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be smitten.
David loh Pathen taengah, “Pilnam tae ham aka thui te kai moenih a? Anih te kai ka tholh sak dongah ka thae tah ka thae coeng. Tedae he boiva rhoek loh balae a saii uh? Ka Pathen BOEIPA aw, na kut te kamah so neh a pa kah imkhui soah tla mai saeh. Tedae na pilnam te lucik neh ben boel mai,” a ti nah.
18 And the angel of Jehovah commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up and rear an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Te daengah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh Gad te, “David te thui pah, David te BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk suem hamla Jebusi Ornan kah cangtilhmuen ah cet saeh,” a ti nah.
19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he had spoken in the name of Jehovah.
Te dongah David khaw BOEIPA ming neh a thui Gad ol bangla cet.
20 And Ornan turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
Ornan a mael vaengah puencawn te a hmuh. Te vaengah a taengkah a capa pali tah thuh uh dae Ornan tah cang a til.
21 And David came to Ornan, and Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself to David with [his] face to the ground.
David te Ornan taengla pawk tih Ornan loh a paelki vaengah David te a hmuh. Te dongah cangtilhmuen lamloh thoeih tih David taengah a maelhmai te diklai la buluk.
22 And David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of the threshing-floor, that I may build an altar in it to Jehovah: grant it to me for the full money, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
David loh Ornan te, “Cangtil hmuen he kai taengah m'pae mai lamtah a soah BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk ka suem mai eh. Te te tangka nen khaw kai he boeih m'pae mai. Te daengah ni lucik he pilnam dong lamloh a cing eh,” a ti nah.
23 And Ornan said to David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his sight: see, I give the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-sledges for wood, and the wheat for the oblation; I give it all.
Ornan loh David taengah, “Namah ham lo lamtah ka boei manghai a mikhmuh ah a then la saii saeh. So lah he, Hmueihhlutnah ham vaito neh thing hamla tloep kam paek bitni. Cang he khaw khocang la boeih kam paek bitni,” a ti nah.
24 And king David said to Ornan, No; but I will in any case buy [them] for the full money; for I will not take that which is thine for Jehovah, to offer up a burnt-offering without cost.
Tedae manghai David loh Ornan te, “Moenih, tangka la boeih a lai la kan lai eh. Nang taengkah te BOEIPA ham akhaw, hmueihhlutnah nawn ham akhaw a yoe la ka lo mahpawh,” a ti nah.
25 And David gave to Ornan for the place in shekels of gold the weight of six hundred [shekels].
Te dongah David loh Ornan te a hmuen phu la sui shekel a khiing ya rhuk a paek.
26 And David built there an altar to Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon Jehovah; and he answered him from the heavens by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.
Te phoeiah David loh BOEIPA ham hmueihtuk pahoi a suem tih hmueihhlutnah neh rhoepnah te a nawn. BOEIPA a khue vaengah anih te hmueihtuk sokah hmueihhlutnah dongah vaan lamkah hmai neh a voek.
27 And Jehovah spoke to the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.
Te daengah BOEIPA loh puencawn te a voek tih a cunghang te tuengim khuila a sang.
28 At that time when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
Te vaeng tue kah Jebusi Ornan cangtilhmuen ah BOEIPA loh anih a doo te David loh a hmuh van neh pahoi a nawn.
29 And the tabernacle of Jehovah, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
Moses loh khosoek kah a saii BOEIPA kah dungtlungim neh te vaeng tue kah hmueihhlutnah hmueihtuk tah Gibeon hmuensang ah om pueng.
30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Jehovah.
Tedae BOEIPA puencawn kah cunghang ha loh a let sak coeng dongah David loh a mikhmuh la a caeh ham khaw, Pathen a toem ham coeng thai pawh.
