< 1 Chronicles 21 >

1 And Satan rose up against Israel: and moved David to number Israel.
Satan ne dwaro hinyo jo-Israel omiyo nosundo Daudi mondo okwan jo-Israel.
2 And David said to Joab, and to the rulers of the people: Go, and number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me the number of them that I may know it.
Daudi nowachone Joab kaachiel gi jotend jolweny niya, “Dhiuru kendo ukwan jo-Israel kochakore Bersheba nyaka chop Dan, bangʼe to inyisa kar rombgi mondo mi angʼe ni gin ji adi.”
3 And Joab answered: The Lord make his people a hundred times more than they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all thy servants: why doth my lord seek this thing, which may be imputed as a sin to Israel?
To Joab nodwoke niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye med jolweny madirom nyadi mia achiel. Ruodha kendo jatenda, to donge gin duto gin jo-ruoth? To en angʼo momiyo ruoth ma en ruodha didwar timo richo machal kama ni Israel?”
4 But the king’s word rather prevailed: and Joab departed, and went through all Israel: and returned to Jerusalem.
Kata kamano ruoth notamo Joab omiyo Joab nowuok modhi e piny jo-Israel duto, bangʼe noduogo Jerusalem.
5 And he gave David the number of them, whom he had surveyed: and all the number of Israel was found to be eleven hundred thousand men that drew the sword: and of Juda four hundred and seventy thousand fighting men.
Joab nokelo ne Daudi kar kwan jolweny kama: Kuom jo-Israel ne nitie ji tara achiel gi alufu mia achiel mane nyalo tingʼo ligangla koriwore gi jo-Juda alufu mia angʼwen gi piero abiriyo.
6 But Levi and Benjamin he did not number: for Joab unwillingly executed the king’s orders.
To Joab ne ok okwano jo-Lawi kod jo-Benjamin nikech nosin gi chik ruoth.
7 And God was displeased with this thing that was commanded: and he struck Israel.
Chikni ne rach ahinya e nyim wangʼ Nyasaye omiyo nokumo jo-Israel.
8 And David said to God: I have sinned exceedingly in doing this: I beseech thee take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done foolishly.
Eka Daudi nowacho ni Nyasaye niya, “Asetimo richo maduongʼ kuom gima asetimoni. To koro akwayi mondo igol richoni kuom jatichni. Asetimo gima ofuwo ahinya.”
9 And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer of David, saying:
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Gad ma jokor wach mar Daudi niya,
10 Go, and speak to David, and tell him: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee the choice of three things: choose one which thou wilt, and I will do it to thee.
“Dhiyo iwach ni Daudi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Aketo weche adek e nyimi. Yier achiel kuomgi monego atimni.’”
11 And when Gad was come to David, he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: choose which thou wilt:
Omiyo Gad nodhi ir Daudi mowachone niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye owacho: ‘Kaw achiel kuomgi:
12 Either three years’ famine: or three months to flee from thy enemies, and not to be able to escape their sword: or three days to have the sword of the Lord, and pestilence in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying in all the coasts of Israel: now therefore see what I shall answer him who sent me.
higni adek mag kech, dweche adek ma wasiku biro lawoue gi ligangla ka negou kata ndalo adek mar ligangla mar Jehova Nyasaye (ma en ndalo mag dera marach e piny), ka malaika Jehova Nyasaye neko kamoro amora e piny Israel.’ Koro par ane mondo imiya dwoko matero ni ngʼama ne oora.”
13 And David said to Gad: I am on every side in a great strait: 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.
Daudi nodwoko Gad niya, “An-gi chuny lit ahinya. Ber mondo alwar e lwet Jehova Nyasaye nikech ngʼwonone duongʼ, to kik iweya mondo alwar e lwet ji.”
14 So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel. And there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nokelo masira kuom jo-Israel kendo nonego jo-Israel alufu piero abiriyo.
15 And he sent an angel to Jerusalem, to strike it: and as he was striking it, the Lord beheld, and took pity for the greatness of the evil: and said to the angel that destroyed: It is enough, now stop thy hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the thrashing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Kendo Nyasaye nooro malaika mondo oketh Jerusalem. To kane malaikano timo kamano Jehova Nyasaye noneno mano mi okuyo nikech tim malichno mi nonyiso malaika mane nego ji niya, “Oromo! Koro dwok lweti.” Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye noyudo ochungʼ e kar dino cham mar Arauna ja-Jebus.
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 against Jerusalem: and both he and the ancients clothed in haircloth, fell down flat on the ground.
Daudi nongʼiyo malo ma oneno malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye kochungo e kind polo gi piny ka otingʼo ligangla mager e lwete mane orieyo kuom Jerusalem. Bangʼe Daudi gi jodongo nopodho piny auma ka girwakore gi pien gugru.
17 And David said to God: Am not I he that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned: it is I that have done the evil: but as for this flock, what hath it deserved? O Lord my God, let thy hand be turned, I beseech thee, upon me, and upon my father’s house: and let not thy people be destroyed.
Daudi nowacho ni Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Donge an ema nagolo chik mondo okwan joma nyalo dhi e lweny? An ma an jakwath ema asetimo richo kendo aseketho. Magi to gin mana rombe, angʼo magiseketho? Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha, akwayi ni an ema ikuma kaachiel gi joga to kik iwe masira odongʼ kuom jogi.”
18 And the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to tell David, to go up, and build an altar to the Lord God in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Bangʼe malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Gad mondo onyis Daudi odhi malo kar dino cham ma Arauna ja-Jebus mondo oger kendo mar misango ni Jehova Nyasaye.
19 And David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spoke to him in the name of the Lord.
Omiyo Daudi nodhi malo kaluwore gi wach mane Gad osewachone kuom nying Jehova Nyasaye.
20 Now when Ornan looked up, and saw the angel, he and his four sons hid themselves: for at that time he was thrashing wheat in the floor.
Kane Arauna dino ngano, notingʼo wangʼe ma oneno malaika, yawuote mane ni kode nopondo.
21 And as David was coming to Ornan, Ornan saw him, and went out of the thrashingfloor to meet him, and bowed down to him with his face to the ground.
Bangʼe Daudi nodhi ire, kane Arauna ogoyo wangʼe monene, nowuok kar dino mokulore auma nyaka e lowo e nyim Daudi.
22 And David said to him: Give me this place of thy thrashingfloor, that I may build therein an altar to the Lord: but thou shalt take of me as much money as it is worth, that the plague may cease from the people.
Daudi nonyise niya, “Yie imiya laru mar dino cham mondo angʼiew mondo agerie kendo mar misango ni Jehova Nyasaye eka tho manego ji orum. Yie iusnago e kar romb nengone duto.”
23 And Ornan said to David: Take it, and let my lord the king do all that pleaseth him: and moreover the oxen also I give for a holocaust, and the drays for wood, and the wheat for the sacrifice: I will give it all willingly.
Arauna nowacho ne Daudi niya, “Kawe! Mad ruodha ma jatenda okawe kendo otim kode gima chunye dwaro. Ne, anamiyi rwedhi mondo ichiw kaka misango miwangʼo pep, kod gige dino kaka yien kaachiel gi ngano kaka cham michiwo; abiro chiwogi duto.”
24 And king David said to him: It shall not be so, but I will give thee money as much as it is worth: for I must not take it from thee, and so offer to the Lord holocausts free cost.
To Ruoth Daudi nodwoko Arauna niya, “Ooyo, nyaka achuli nengone duto mowinjore kode.” Ok anayie ngangʼ kawo ne Jehova Nyasaye giri nono kata timo misango miwangʼo pep ma ok achuloe gimoro.
25 So David gave to Ornan for the place, six hundred sicles of gold of just weight.
Omiyo Daudi nochulo Arauna pesa mag dhahabu ma dirom kilo abiriyo mane nengo kar dinono.
26 And he built there an altar to the Lord: and he offered holocausts, and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord, and he heard him by sending Are from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust.
Daudi nogero kendo mar misango ni Jehova Nyasaye kanyo kendo nochiwo misango miwangʼo pep kod chiwo mar lalruok. Noluongo Jehova Nyasaye, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke gi mach moa e polo kalwar e kendo mar misango miwangʼo pep.
27 And the Lord commanded the angel: and he put up his sword again into the sheath.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo gi malaika mine odwoko liganglane e olalo mare.
28 And David seeing that the Lord had heard him in the thrashingfloor of Oman the Jebusite, forthwith offered victims there.
E sechego Daudi notimo misengini kanyo kane oneno ni Jehova Nyasaye osedwoke e laru mar dino mar Arauna ja-Jebus.
29 But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, was at that time in the high place of Gabaon.
Hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye mane Musa oloso e thim, kaachiel gi kendo mar misango miwangʼo pep e kindego ne pod nitiere e kar lemo man Gibeon.
30 And David could not go to the altar there to pray to God: for he was seized with an exceeding great fear, seeing the sword of the angel of the Lord.
Kata kamano, Daudi ne ok nyal dhiyo bute mondo openj Nyasaye nikech ne oluoro ligangla mar malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye.
