2 Samuel 24
1 And the anger of the Lord was again kindled against Israel, and stirred up David among them, saying: Go, number Israel and Juda.
Sie pac pacl ah, LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sin mwet Israel, ac El oru tuh David elan aklokoalokyalos. LEUM GOD el fahk nu sel, “Fahla oakla mwet Israel ac mwet Judah.”
2 And the king said to Joab the general of his army: Go through all the tribes of Israel from Dan to Bersabee, and number ye the people that I may know the number of them.
Na David el sapkin nu sel Joab, captain lun un mwet mweun lal, “Fahla, us mwet pwapa lom ac fahsr sasla acn lun sruf nukewa in facl Israel, mutawauk e epang me oatula safla eir, ac oakla pisen mwet uh. Nga lungse etu lah elos mwet ekasr nufon.”
3 And Joab said to the king: The Lord thy God increase thy people, and make them as many more as they are now, and again multiply them a hundredfold in the sight of my lord the king: but what meaneth my lord the king by this kind of thing?
A Joab el topuk nu sin tokosra, “Leum fulat, lela LEUM GOD lom Elan oru mwet Israel in pus pacl siofok liki pisalos misenge, ac lela tuh kom in moul ac liye na ke el oru an. Tusruktu, efu ku kom ke in oekyuk elos?”
4 But the king’s words prevailed over the words of Joab, and of the captains of the army: and Joab, and the captains of the soldiers went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
Na tokosra el sap Joab ac mwet pwapa lal in akos na ma sap lal. Ac elos illa liki ye mutal ac som in oek mwet Israel.
5 And when they had passed the Jordan, they came to Aroer to the right side of the city, which is in the vale of Gad.
Elos tupalla Infacl Jordan ac tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos eir in Aroer, siti se infulwen infahlfal se in acn Gad. Na elos sifil fahla liki acn we ac ut epang lac som nu Jazer,
6 And by Jazer they passed into Galaad, and to the lower land of Hodsi, and they came into the woodlands of Dan. And going about by Sidon,
oayapa nu Gilead ac nu Kadesh, in acn lun mwet Hit. Na elos som nu Dan, ac tok elos som liki Dan, ut roto lac nu Sidon.
7 They passed near the walls of Tyre, and all the land of the Hevite, and the Chanaanite, and they came to the south of Juda into Bersabee:
Na elos ut eir lac nu Tyre, sie siti oasr kalkal rauneak, ac tafwela pac nu in siti nukewa lun mwet Hiv ac mwet Canaan, ac safla na e Beersheba, su oan eir in acn Judah.
8 And having gone through the whole land, after nine months and twenty days, they came to Jerusalem.
Ouinge, elos fufahsryesr in mutunfacl sac nufon, ac tukun malem eu ac len longoul elos folokla nu Jerusalem.
9 And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people to the king, and there were found of Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword: and of Juda five hundred thousand fighting men.
Elos akkalemye nu sin tokosra pisen mukul nukewa su ku in wi mweun, tuh na oasr oalfoko tausin mwet Israel ac lumfoko tausin mwet Judah.
10 But David’s heart struck him, after the people were numbered: and David said to the Lord: I have sinned very much in what I have done: but I pray thee, O Lord, to take away the iniquity of thy servant, because I have done exceeding foolishly.
Ke David el orala oaoa sac tari, el luman oela kac, na el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Nga orala ma koluk na yohk se. Nunak munas, sisla koluk luk. Ma na lalfon se pa nga orala.”
11 And David arose in the morning, and the word of the Lord came to Gad the prophet and the seer of David, saying:
Ke David el tukakek ke lotutang, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Gad, mwet palu lal David,
12 Go, and say to David: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee thy choice of three things, choose one of them which thou wilt, that I may do it to thee.
“Fahla fahk nu sel David lah nga fah sang nu sel ke mwe sulela tolu, ac el enenu in sulela sie. Nga ac fah oru ma se ma el ac sulela an.”
13 And when Gad was come to David, he told him, saying: Either seven years of famine shall come to thee in thy land: or thou shalt flee three months before thy adversaries, and they shall pursue thee: or for three days there shall be a pestilence in thy land. Now therefore deliberate, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
Na Gad el som nu yorol David ac fahk oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk, na el siyuk sel, “Ma ya kac kom lungse uh? In oasr sracl fin facl sum ke yac tolu, ku kom in kaing liki mwet lokoalok lom ke malem tolu, ku in oasr mas upa se rauni facl sum ke len tolu? Inge nunku akwoye, na kom fah fahk topuk lom an nu sik, nga in folokla fahk nu sin LEUM GOD.”
14 And David said to Gad: I am in a great strait: but it is better that I should fall into the hands of the Lord (for his mercies are many) than into the hands of men.
Na David el fahk, “Nga arulana fohsak ac nikinyula! Tusruktu nga tia lungse ngan kalyeiyuk sin mwet uh. Lela in LEUM GOD na pa orek kaiyuk nu sesr, tuh El pakoten.”
15 And the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel, from the morning unto the time appointed, and there died of the people from Dan to Bersabee seventy thousand men.
Ouinge, LEUM GOD El supwala mas na upa se nu fin facl Israel, mutawauk ke lotutang sac nwe ke pacl se El sulela in tui. Mwet Israel itngoul tausin misa, mutawauk ke tafunyen epang me nwe eir.
16 And when the angel of the Lord had stretched out his hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord had pity on the affliction, and said to the angel that slew the people: It is enough: now hold thy hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite.
Ke pacl se lipufan lun LEUM GOD akola in kunausla acn Jerusalem, na LEUM GOD El aolla nunak lal ke kaiyuk se el akola in oru nu sin mwet uh, ac el fahk nu sin lipufan se ma uniya mwet ah, “Tui! Tari fal!” Lipufan sac el muta ke acn in kulkul wheat lal Araunah, mwet Jebus.
17 And David said to the Lord, when he saw the angel striking the people: It is I; I am he that have sinned, I have done wickedly: these that are the sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I beseech thee, be turned against me, and against my father’s house.
David el liye lipufan se ma uniya mwet uh, ac el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Nga pa mwet se ma orala ma koluk se inge. Nga pa oasr mwata ke tafongla sac. Mea mwet inge orala? Fal kom in kaiyu ac sou luk uh.”
18 And Gad came to David that day, and said: Go up, and build an altar to the Lord in the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite.
In len sacna, Gad el som nu yorol David ac fahk nu sel, “Utyak nu ke acn in kulkul wheat lal Araunah, ac musaela sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD we.”
19 And David went up according to the word of Gad which the Lord had commanded him.
David el akos sap lun LEUM GOD, ac el som oana ma Gad el fahk nu sel.
20 And Areuna looked, and saw the king and his servants coming towards him:
Araunah el ngeti ac liyal tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal ke elos fahsr in utyak nu yorol. El putati nu infohk uh ye mutal David
21 An going out he worshipped the king, bowing with his face to the earth, and said: Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? Arid David said to him: To buy the thrashingfloor of thee, and build an altar to the Lord, that the plague, which rageth among the people, may cease.
ac siyuk, “Leum fulat, efu ku kom tuku?” David el topuk, “Nga tuku in molela acn in kulkul wheat lom uh, ac etoak sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD, in tulokinya mas upa se orek inge.”
22 And Areuna said to David: Let my lord the king take, and offer, as it seemeth good to him: thou hast here oxen for a holocaust, and the wain, and the yokes of the oxen for wood.
Na Araunah el fahk, “O leum fulat, eis na lom, ac kisakin kutena ma kom lungse nu sin LEUM GOD. Cow mukul pa inge — kom ku in orek mwe kisa firir kac fin loang an, ac srenenu lalos ac ipinsak ke acn in kulkul wheat uh ku in orekmakinyuk mwe etong.”
23 All these things Areuna as a king gave to the king: and Areuna said to the king: The Lord thy God receive thy vow.
Araunah el sang ma inge nukewa nu sin tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Lela LEUM GOD lom Elan insewowo ke mwe kisa lom.”
24 And the king answered him, and said: Nay, but I will buy it of thee at a price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God holocausts free cost. So David bought the floor, and the oxen, for fifty sicles of silver:
A tokosra el topuk, “Mo. Nga ac moli nu sum ke ma inge. Nga tia ku in sang nu sin LEUM GOD luk mwe kisa ma tuku nu sik ke wangin molo.” Na el molela acn in kulkul wheat sac ac cow mukul uh ke ipin silver lumngaul.
25 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered holocausts and peace offerings: and the Lord became merciful to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
Ac el etoak sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD, ac kisakin mwe kisa firir, ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo. Ac LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal, ac mas upa se in acn Israel ah wanginla.
