2 Samuel 24
1 And again the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them saying, Go, number Israel and Judah.
Israel taengah lungoe hamla BOEIPA te a thintoek loh a koei. Te vaengah amih taengah David te a vueh pah tih, “Cet lamtah Israel neh Judah ke tae lah laeh,” a ti nah.
2 And the king said to Joab the captain of the host, who was with him, Go, I pray thee, through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and count the people, that I may know the number of the people.
Te dongah manghai loh amah taengkah tatthai mangpa Joab te, “Dan lamloh Beersheba duela Israel koca boeih taengah cet laeh. Pilnam te tae lamtah pilnam hlangmi te ka ming eh?,” a ti nah.
3 And Joab said to the king, May Jehovah thy God even add to the people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see [it]; but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?
Tedae Joab loh manghai te, “Pilnam te BOEIPA na Pathen loh amah la a thap tih ka boei manghai kah mikhmuh ah amih te a pueh yakhat lam khaw hmu mai saw. Tedae ka boei manghai loh balae tih hebang hno he a ngaih,” a ti.
4 But the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the army. And Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel.
Tedae manghai kah olka loh Joab neh tatthai mangpa rhoek te a hut a tet. Te dongah Joab tah Israel pilnam te soep hamla caem neh mangpa rhoek neh manghai mikhmuh lamkah loh bit uh.
5 And they passed over the Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the midst of the ravine of Gad, and toward Jaazer.
Jordan a poeng uh tih Gad neh Jazer soklong khui kah khopuei bantang Aroer ah rhaeh uh.
6 And they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and came to Dan-jaan, and to the environs of Sidon;
Te vaengah Gilead neh Tahtimhodshi kho te a paan uh tih Danjaan neh Sidon kaepvai khaw a pha uh.
7 and they came to the fortified city of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites; and went out to the south of Judah, to Beer-sheba.
Tyre hmuencak, Khivee neh Kanaan khopuei boeih te khaw a pha uh tih Judah Beersheba tuithim la pawk uh.
8 And they went through all the land, and came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
Kho tom te a hil uh tih hla ko phoeiah hnin kul a thok daengah Jerusalem la pawk.
9 And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to the king; and there were of Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
Pilnam kah hlangboel Te Joab loh manghai taengah tun a paek vaengah Israel Te cunghang aka pom tatthai hlang thawng ya rhet, Judah hlang Te hlang thawng ya nga om.
10 And David's heart smote him after he had numbered the people. And David said to Jehovah, I have sinned greatly in what I have done; and now, I beseech thee, Jehovah, put away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
Pilnam te a tae phoeiah David Te a lungbuei loh a ngawn. Te dongah David loh BOEIPA taengah, “Ka saii te muep ka tholh coeng. BOEIPA aw, ka pavai tangkik dongah ni, na sal kathaesainah he han hlah mai laeh,” a ti nah.
11 And when David arose in the morning, the word of Jehovah came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
Mincang ah David Te thoo. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah ol Te David khohmu, tonghma Gad taengla a pha tih,
12 Go and say to David, Thus saith Jehovah: I impose on thee three [things]; choose one of them that I may do it unto thee.
“Cet lamtah he he David taengah thui pah, BOEIPA loh, 'Kai loh nang taengah pathum ka tai he namah ham pakhat ah tuek lamtah nang ham kan saii eh?,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
13 And Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, Shall seven years of famine come to thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine adversaries while they pursue thee? or shall there be three days' pestilence in thy land? Now be aware and consider what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
Te dongah Gad Te David taengah cet tih a puen pah. Te vaengah David te, “Na khohmuen ah khokha kum rhih ha pai saeh a? Na rhal rhoek mikhmuh ah hla thum na rhaelrham vetih nang n'hloem saeh a? Na khohmuen he hnin thum khuiah duektahaw om koinih ta. Ming lamtah hmu laeh. Mebang kan tueih ham khaw kamah taengla ol ham voei,” a ti nah.
14 And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah; for his mercies are great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.
David loh Gad taengah, “Kai puen ka cak tangkik coeng. A haidamnah tah aka len koek haidamnah la a om dongah BOEIPA kah kut dongah tla uh mai saeh lamtah hlang kut dongah ka tla boel mai eh,” a ti.
15 And Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the set time; and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.
Te dongah mincang lamloh khoning tue duela BOEIPA loh Israel soah duektahaw a paek. Te vaengah pilnam Te Dan lamloh Beersheba duela hlang thawng sawmrhih duek.
16 And the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it; but Jehovah repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed among the people, It is enough: withdraw now thine hand. And the angel of Jehovah was by the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Jerusalem Te phae hamla puencawn loh a kut a thueng. Tedae yoethae kongah BOEIPA khaw damti coeng tih puencawn te, “Pilnam sokah kutcaihnah te temah laeh saeh, na kut yuek laeh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah puencawn tah Jebusi Araunah cangtilhmuen ah om.
17 And David spoke to Jehovah when he saw the angel that smote among the people, and said, Behold, it is I that have sinned, and it is I that have committed iniquity; but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, be on me, and on my father's house!
Pilnam aka ngawn puencawn te a hmuh vaengah David loh BOEIPA taengah a bih tih, “Kai ka tholh coeng tih ka paihaeh coeng he. Tu rhoek loh balae a saii. Na kut he kamah so neh a pa kah imkhui ah tla mai saeh,” a ti nah.
18 And Gad came that day to David, and said to him, Go up, rear an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Tekah khohnin ah Gad Te David taengla pawk tih, “Cet lamtah, Jebusi Araunah kah cangtilhmuen ah BOEIPA ham hmueihtuk suem laeh,” a ti nah.
19 And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as Jehovah had commanded.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh a uen Gad kah ol vanbangla David khaw cet.
20 And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on towards him; and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
Te vaengah Araunah loh a dan hatah manghai neh a sal rhoek loh amah taengla ham paan te a hmuh. Te dongah Araunah loh hlah uh tih manghai hmaiah a maelhmai neh diklai la a bakop pah.
21 And Araunah said, Why is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar to Jehovah, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
Te vaengah Araunah loh, “Ka boei manghai loh a sal taengah balae tih ha pawk co?,” a ti. Te dongah David loh, “BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk suem hamla cangtilhmuen he nang taeng lamkah lai ham ni. Te daengah ni lucik tah pilnam taeng lamloh a paa eh?,” a ti nah.
22 And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer up that which is good in his sight: see, [here are] oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-sledges and implements of the oxen for wood.
Araunah loh David taengah, “Ka boei manghai loh a mikhmuh ah a mikdai aka then Te lo saeh lamtah khuen pai saeh. Hmueihhlutnah vaito neh tloep khaw, thing hamla vaito dongkah hnopai khaw so lah he,” a ti nah.
23 All these things, O king, doth Araunah give to the king. And Araunah said to the king, Jehovah thy God accept thee.
Soeprhaep boeih te Araunah loh manghai hut la manghai taengah a paek. Te vaengah Araunah loh manghai te, “BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang te m'moeithen nawn saeh,” a ti nah.
24 And the king said to Araunah, No; but I will in any case buy [them] of thee at a price: neither will I offer up to Jehovah my God burnt-offerings without cost. And David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
Tedae manghai loh Araunah taengah, “Pawh, nang taeng lamkah he a phu neh ka lai la ka lai eh. Hmueihhlutnah he BOEIPA ka Pathen taengah a yoeyup la ka khuen mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah David loh cangtilhmuen neh vaito te cak shekel sawmnga neh a lai.
25 And David built there an altar to Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. And Jehovah was propitious to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
Te phoeiah David loh BOEIPA ham hmueihtuk pahoi a suem tih hmueihhlutnah neh rhoepnah hmueih te a khuen. Te daengah Te khohmuen ham BOEIPA taengah thangthui tih Israel sokah lucik te khaw cing van.
