1 Chronicles 21
1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
Satana atelemelaki Isalaele mpe atindikaki Davidi na kotanga motango ya bato ya Isalaele.
2 And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people: 'Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them.'
Boye, Davidi apesaki mitindo na Joabi mpe na bakambi ya bato: — Bokende kotanga bato ya Isalaele, longwa na Beri-Sheba kino na Dani, mpe boyebisa ngai motango na bango mpo ete nayeba.
3 And Joab said: 'The LORD make His people a hundred times so many more as they are; but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt unto Israel?'
Kasi Joabi azongisaki: — Tika ete Yawe akomisa bato na Ye ebele koleka mbala nkama! Oh mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, bango nyonso bazali te basali ya nkolo na ngai? Mpo na nini nkolo na ngai alingi kosala bongo? Mpo na nini komemisa Isalaele ngambo?
4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
Kasi mokonzi atingamaki kaka na mitindo oyo apesaki na Joabi. Boye, Joabi abimaki, atambolaki kati na Isalaele mobimba mpe azongaki na Yelusalemi.
5 And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men that drew sword; and Judah was four hundred three-score and ten thousand men that drew sword.
Joabi ayebisaki Davidi motango ya bato oyo atangaki, bato oyo bakoki kosalela mopanga na bitumba: bato monkoko moko na nkoto nkama moko kati na Isalaele mobimba, mpe nkoto nkama minei na tuku sambo kati na Yuda.
6 But Levi and Benjamin he did not number among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
Kasi kati na bango, Joabi atangaki te ekolo ya Levi mpe ya Benjame; pamba te etinda ya mokonzi esepelisaki ye te.
7 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore He smote Israel.
Etinda yango esepelisaki Nzambe te mpe Nzambe apesaki Isalaele etumbu.
8 And David said unto God: 'I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing; but now, put away, I beseech Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.'
Davidi alobaki na Nzambe: — Nasali lisumu monene na kotanga bato. Sik’oyo, nabondeli Yo, limbisa mabe ya mosali na Yo; pamba te nasali makambo lokola moto ya liboma.
9 And the LORD spoke unto Gad, David's seer, saying:
Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Gadi, mopesi toli ya Davidi:
10 'Go and speak unto David, saying: Thus saith the LORD: I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.'
— Kende koyebisa Davidi: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Nazali kotalisa yo bitumbu misato; pona moko kati na yango mpo ete Ngai nakokisa yango lokola etumbu mpo na yo. › »
11 So Gad came to David, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD: Take which thou wilt:
Gadi akendeki koyebisa Davidi makambo oyo Yawe alobaki na ye: — Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: « Oponi etumbu nini:
12 either three years of famine; or three months to be swept away before thy foes, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to Him that sent me.'
mibu misato ya nzala makasi; sanza misato oyo banguna na yo bakolonga yo mpe mipanga na bango ekoboma basoda na yo; to mikolo misato elongo na mopanga ya Yawe mpe bokono oyo ebomaka, mikolo oyo anjelu ya Yawe akobebisa etuka nyonso ya Isalaele? Kanisa sik’oyo malamu mpe yebisa ngai eyano oyo ngai nasengeli komema epai na Ye oyo atindi ngai. »
13 And David said unto Gad: 'I am in a great strait; let me fall now into the hand of the LORD, for very great are His mercies; and let me not fall into the hand of man.'
Davidi azongiselaki Gadi: — Nazali na pasi makasi kati na motema. Eleki malamu mpo na ngai kokweya na maboko ya Yawe, pamba te mawa na Ye ezali solo monene; kasi tika ete nakweya te na maboko ya bato!
14 So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
Boye, Yawe atindaki kati na Isalaele bokono oyo ebomaka, mpe bato ya Isalaele nkoto tuku sambo bakufaki.
15 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it; and as he was about to destroy, the LORD beheld, and He repented Him of the evil, and said to the destroying angel: 'It is enough; now stay thy hand.' And the angel of the LORD was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Nzambe atindaki anjelu na Yelusalemi mpo na kobebisa yango; kasi wana anjelu azalaki kobebisa, Yawe atalaki mpe ayokaki mawa mpo na pasi wana. Alobaki na anjelu oyo azalaki kobebisa: « Ekoki! Longola loboko na yo! » Anjelu na Yawe atelemaki pembeni ya etando ya Orinani, moto ya Yebusi.
16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD standing between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
Davidi atombolaki miso mpe amonaki anjelu ya Yawe atelemi kati ya likolo mpe mabele, bongo na loboko na ye oyo asembolaki likolo ya Yelusalemi, asimbaki mopanga ezanga ebombelo. Davidi mpe bampaka balataki basaki mpe bakweyaki bilongi kino na mabele.
17 And David said unto God: 'Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? let Thy hand, I pray Thee, O LORD my God, be against me, and against my father's house; but not against Thy people, that they should be plagued.'
Davidi alobaki na Nzambe: — Boni, ezali ngai nde napesaki mitindo ete batanga motango ya bato? Ngai moko nde nasalaki masumu, ngai moko nde nasalaki mbeba oyo eleki mabe. Bango, bato ya ekolo na ngai, basali mabe moko te. Oh Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, ebongi nde opesa ngai mpe libota na ngai etumbu; kasi tika ete bokono oyo ebomaka ekweyela te bato na Yo!
18 Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Anjelu na Yawe atindaki Gadi koloba na Davidi: — Kende kotonga etumbelo mpo na Yawe, na etando ya Orinani, moto ya Yebusi.
19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the LORD.
Davidi akendeki kuna kolanda liloba oyo Gadi alobaki na Kombo na Yawe.
20 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons that were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
Bongo, wana Orinani azalaki kotuta ble, abalukaki mpe amonaki anjelu. Boye bana na ye ya mibali minei oyo bazalaki na ye elongo babombamaki.
21 And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed down to David with his face to the ground.
Davidi apusanaki pembeni ya Orinani; mpe tango Orinani atalaki mpe amonaki Davidi, abimaki na etando mpe agumbamaki liboso ya Davidi, elongi kino na mabele.
22 Then David said to Ornan: 'Give me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar unto the LORD; for the full price shalt thou give it me; that the plague may be stayed from the people.'
Davidi alobaki na Orinani: — Pesa ngai etando na yo, tekela ngai yango na motuya ya mbongo oyo ekoki na yango, mpo ete natonga etumbelo mpo na Yawe; tekela ngai yango mpo ete etumbu ya bokono oyo ezali koboma bato esila.
23 And Ornan said unto David: 'Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes; lo, I give thee the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing-instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal-offering; I give it all'
Orinani azongiselaki Davidi: — Kamata yango; mpe tika ete mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, asala na yango nyonso oyo amoni ete ezali malamu mpo na ye. Tala, ngai, nakopesa bangombe ya mibali lokola mbeka ya kotumba, banzete oyo babetelaka ble lokola koni, mpe ble lokola mbeka ya bambuma. Nakopesa nyonso wana.
24 And king David said to Ornan: 'Nay, but I will verily buy it for the full price; for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer a burnt-offering without cost.'
Kasi mokonzi Davidi alobaki na Orinani: — Te! Nasengeli kaka kosomba yango mpe kopesa yo motuya oyo ekoki na yango; nakomema te epai na Yawe eloko oyo ezali ya yo, nakobonzela Yawe te bambeka ya kotumba oyo nazwi na ofele.
25 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
Boye, Davidi asombaki etando yango epai ya Orinani, na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende ya wolo, nkama motoba.
26 And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon the LORD; and He answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.
Davidi atongaki kuna etumbelo mpo na Yawe mpe abonzaki bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka ya boyokani. Abelelaki Yawe, mpe Yawe ayanolaki ye na moto oyo ewutaki likolo mpe ekweyaki na etumbelo ya bambeka.
27 And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword back into the sheath thereof.
Boye Yawe alobaki na anjelu, mpe anjelu azongisaki mopanga na ye na ebombelo na yango.
28 At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
Banda na tango wana, lokola Davidi amonaki ete Yawe ayanolaki ye na etando ya Orinani, moto ya Yebusi, akomaki kobonza bambeka tango nyonso na esika wana.
29 For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
Mongombo na Yawe oyo Moyize atongaki na esobe mpe etumbelo ya bambeka ya kotumba ezalaki na tango wana, na esambelo ya likolo ya ngomba ya Gabaoni.
30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was terrified because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
Nzokande Davidi azalaki kokoka te kozwa mokano ya kokende kotuna Nzambe liboso ya Mongombo, pamba te azalaki kobanga mopanga na Yawe.
