1 Chronicles 21
1 Then Satan stands up against Israel, and persuades David to number Israel,
Alò, Satan te kanpe kont Israël e te bourade David pou kontwole moun Israël yo.
2 and David says to Joab and to the heads of the people, “Go, number Israel from Beer-Sheba even to Dan, and bring [the account] to me, and I know their number.”
Pou sa, David te di a Joab, e a chèf a pèp yo: “Ale konte moun Israël yo soti Beer-Schéba jis rive Dan, e pote ban m chif yo pou m kab konnen fòs kantite yo.”
3 And Joab says, “YHWH adds to His people as they are one hundred times; are they not, my lord, O king, all of them for servants to my lord? Why does my lord seek this? Why is he for a cause of guilt to Israel?”
Joab te di: “Ke SENYÈ a kapab ogmante sou pèp li a san fwa ke sa! Men mèt mwen, wa a, èske yo tout se pa sèvitè mèt mwen an? Poukisa mèt mwen an ap chache afè sa a? Poukisa sa ta dwe koz pou Israël ta vin koupab?”
4 And the word of the king [is] severe against Joab, and Joab goes out, and goes up and down in all Israel, and comes to Jerusalem.
Malgre sa, pawòl wa a te vin genyen kont pawòl Joab yo. Konsa, Joab te sòti ale nan tout Israël pou te rive Jérusalem.
5 And Joab gives the account of the numbering of the people to David, and all Israel is one million and one hundred thousand, each drawing sword, and Judah [is] four hundred and seventy thousand, each drawing sword.
Joab te bay nimewo a tout moun a David yo. Epi tout Israël, mesye ki te rale nepe yo, se te yon milyon-san-mil òm e Juda te kat-san-swasann-dis òm ki te rale nepe yo.
6 And he has not numbered Levi and Benjamin in their midst, for the word of the king was abominable with Joab.
Men li pa t kontwole Lévi avèk Benjamin pami yo, paske kòmand wa a te twouve byen rayisab pou Joab.
7 And it is evil in the eyes of God concerning this thing, and He strikes Israel,
“Bondye pa t kontan avèk bagay sa a e pou sa, li te frape Israël.
8 and David says to God, “I have sinned exceedingly in that I have done this thing; and now, please cause the iniquity of Your servant to pass away, for I have acted very foolishly.”
David te di a Bondye: Mwen te peche anpil, pwiske mwen te fè bagay sa a. Men souple, koulye a, retire inikite a sèvitè Ou a, paske mwen te fè yon bagay byen sòt.”
9 And YHWH speaks to Gad, seer of David, saying,
SENYÈ a te pale ak Gad, konseye David la, epi te di l:
10 “Go, and you have spoken to David, saying, Thus said YHWH: I am extending three [choices] to you; choose one of these for yourself, and I do [it] to you.”
“Ale pale ak David. Di l: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, “M ap ofri ou twa bagay. Chwazi pou kont ou youn nan yo, ke mwen va fè pou ou.”’”
11 And Gad comes to David and says to him, “Thus said YHWH: Take for yourself—
Konsa, Gad te vin kote David. Li te di l: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, ‘Pran pou ou menm
12 either famine for three years, or three months to be consumed from the face of your adversaries (even [for] the sword of your enemies to overtake), or three days of the sword of YHWH (even pestilence in the land, and a messenger of YHWH destroying in all the border of Israel); and now, see; what word do I return to Him who is sending me?”
oswa, twazan gwo grangou, oswa twa mwa ke ou va chase kraze nèt pa lènmi ou, pandan nepe pa yo ap pran ou nèt, oswa gwo epidemi nan peyi a avèk zanj SENYÈ a k ap detwi toupatou nan tout teritwa Israël la.’ Pou sa, reflechi sou repons ke mwen va retounen bay a Sila ki te voye mwen an.”
13 And David says to Gad, “I am greatly distressed, please let me fall into the hand of YHWH, for His mercies [are] very many, and do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
David te di a Gad: “Mwen byen twouble. Souple, kite mwen tonbe nan men SENYÈ a, paske mizerikòd Li byen gran. Men pa kite mwen tonbe nan men a lòm.”
14 And YHWH gives a pestilence in Israel, and there falls from Israel seventy thousand men,
Konsa, SENYÈ a te voye epidemi sou Israël. Swasann-di-mil nan mesye Israël yo te tonbe.
15 and God sends a messenger to Jerusalem to destroy it, and as he is destroying, YHWH has seen, and is comforted concerning the calamity, and says to the messenger who [is] destroying, “Enough now, cease your hand.” And the messenger of YHWH is standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite,
Epi Bondye te voye yon zanj Jérusalem pou detwi vil la, men lè l te prè pou detwi, SENYÈ a te wè, e te lache de gwo dega a. Li te di a zanj ki t ap detwi a: “Sa kont. Alò, lache men ou.” Zanj SENYÈ a t ap kanpe akote glasi vannen ki pou Ornan an, Jebizyen an.
16 and David lifts up his eyes, and sees the messenger of YHWH standing between the earth and the heavens, and his sword [is] drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem, and David falls, and the elderly, covered with sackcloth, on their faces.
David te leve zye li, e te wè zanj SENYÈ a ki te kanpe antre syèl la avèk tè a, avèk nepe li rale nan men l, lonje sou Jérusalem. Konsa, David avèk ansyen yo te kouvri yo avèk twal sak e te tonbe sou figi yo.
17 And David says to God, “Did I not command to number the people? Indeed, it [is] I who have sinned, and done great evil: and these, the flock, what did they do? O YHWH, my God, please let Your hand be on me, and on the house of my father, and not on Your people—to be plagued.”
David te di a Bondye: “Èske se pa mwen menm ki te kòmande kontwòl a tout pèp la? Anverite, se te mwen ki te peche e ki te fè anpil mal. Men mouton sila yo, se kisa yo menm te fè? O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen an, souple, kite men Ou vin kont mwen avèk lakay zansèt mwen yo, men pa kont pèp Ou a, pou yo ta vin toumante.”
18 And the messenger of YHWH commanded to Gad to say to David, “Surely David goes up to raise an altar to YHWH in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.”
Alò, zanj SENYÈ a te kòmande Gad pou pale David, pou David ta dwe monte pou bati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a sou glasi vannen ki te pou Ornan an, Jebizyen an.
19 And David goes up by the word of Gad, that he spoke in the Name of YHWH.
Konsa, David te monte selon pawòl ke Gad te pale nan non SENYÈ a.
20 And Ornan turns back and sees the messenger, and his four sons [are] with him hiding themselves, and Ornan is threshing wheat.
Alò, Ornan te vire fè bak, e li te wè zanj lan. Kat fis pa li yo ki te avè l yo te kache tèt yo. Alò, Ornan t ap bat ble.
21 And David comes to Ornan, and Ornan looks attentively and sees David, and goes out from the threshing-floor, and bows himself to David—face to the earth.
Lè David te vin kote Ornan, Ornan te gade. Li te wè David e te sòti nan glasi vannen an pou te pwostène li menm devan David avèk figi li atè.
22 And David says to Ornan, “Give the place of the threshing-floor to me, and I build an altar to YHWH in it; give it to me for full price, and the plague is restrained from the people.”
Alò, David te di a Ornan: “Ban mwen anplasman sila a avèk glasi vannen an, pou m kab bati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a. Pou valè tout pri li, ou va ban mwen li, pou touman sila a kab vin frennen pami pèp la.”
23 And Ornan says to David, “Take [it] to yourself, and my lord the king does that which is good in his eyes; see, I have given the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for a present; I have given the whole.”
Ornan te di a David: “Pran li pou kont ou, epi kite mèt mwen an, wa a, fè sa ki bon nan zye l. Gade, mwen bay ou bèf yo pou ofrann brile a ak mas pilon, kon bwa ak ble kon ofrann sereyal la. M ap ba ou tout.”
24 And King David says to Ornan, “No, for I surely buy [it] for full price; for I do not lift up that which is yours to YHWH, so as to offer a burnt-offering without cost.”
Men Wa David te di a Ornan: “Non, men anverite, mwen va achte li pou tout pri li. Paske mwen p ap pran sa ki pou ou pou SENYÈ a, ni ofri ofrann brile ki pa t koute mwen anyen.”
25 And David gives to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold [in] weight for the place;
Konsa David te bay Ornan sis-san sik an lò selon pwa li pou anplasman an.
26 and David builds an altar to YHWH there, and offers burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and calls to YHWH, and He answers him from the heavens with fire on the altar of the burnt-offering.
Alò, David te bati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a la, e te ofri ofrann brile yo avèk ofrann lapè yo. Li te rele SENYÈ a, e Li te reponn li avèk dife soti nan syèl la sou lotèl ofrann brile a.
27 And YHWH speaks to the messenger, and he turns back his sword to its sheath.
SENYÈ a te kòmande zanj lan e li te remèt nepe li nan fouwo.
28 At that time, when David sees that YHWH has answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrifices there;
Nan lè sa, lè David te wè ke SENYÈ a te reponn li sou glasi vannen Ornan an, Jebizyen an. Li te ofri yon sakrifis la.
29 and the Dwelling Place of YHWH that Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt-offering, [are] at that time at a high place in Gibeon;
Paske tabènak SENYÈ a, ke Moïse te fè nan dezè a ak lotèl ofrann brile a te nan wo plas Gabaon an nan lè sa a.
30 and David is not able to go before it to seek God, for he has been afraid because of the sword of the messenger of YHWH.
Men David pa t kab ale devan li nan Gabaon pou fè demand Bondye, paske nepe zanj SENYÈ a te bay li gwo lakrent.
