2 Samuel 24
1 And the anger of YHWH adds to burn against Israel, and [an adversary] moves David about 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 says to Joab, head of the host that [is] with him, “Now go to and fro through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, and inspect the people; then I have known 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 says to the king, “Indeed, your God YHWH adds to the people, as they are, one hundred times, and the eyes of my lord the king are seeing; and my lord the king, why is he desirous of 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 And the word of the king is severe toward Joab, and against the heads of the force, and Joab goes out, and the heads of the force, [from] before the king to inspect the people, even 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 pass over the Jordan, and encamp in Aroer, on the right of the city that [is] in the midst of the Brook of Gad, and to Jazer,
Jordan a poeng uh tih Gad neh Jazer soklong khui kah khopuei bantang Aroer ah rhaeh uh.
6 and they come to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-Hodshi, and they come to Dan-Jaan, and around to Sidon,
Te vaengah Gilead neh Tahtimhodshi kho te a paan uh tih Danjaan neh Sidon kaepvai khaw a pha uh.
7 and they come to the fortress of Tyre, and all the cities of the Hivite, and of the Canaanite, and go 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 go to and fro through all the land, and come in 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 gives the account of the inspection of the people to the king, and Israel is eight hundred thousand men of valor, drawing sword, and the men of Judah 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 the heart of David strikes him, after that he has numbered the people, and David says to YHWH, “I have greatly sinned in that which I have done, and now, O YHWH, please cause the iniquity of Your servant to pass away, for I have acted 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 David rises in the morning, and the word of YHWH has been to Gad the prophet, seer of David, saying,
Mincang ah David te thoo. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah ol te David khohmu, tonghma Gad taengla a pha tih,
12 “Go, and you have spoken to David, Thus said YHWH: I am lifting up three [choices] for you, choose one of them, and I do [it] to you.”
“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 comes to David, and declares [it] to him, and says to him, “Does seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or are you fleeing before your adversary [for] three months—and he is pursuing you? Or is there pestilence [for] three days in your land? Now, know and see what word I take back to Him sending 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 says to Gad, “I have great distress; please let us fall into the hand of YHWH, for His mercies [are] many, but do not let me 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 YHWH gives a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the time appointed, and there dies 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 messenger puts forth his hand to Jerusalem to destroy it, and YHWH sighs concerning the calamity, and says to the messenger who is destroying among the people, “Enough, now, cease your hand”; and the messenger of YHWH was near 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 speaks to YHWH when he sees the messenger who is striking among the people, and says, “Behold, I have sinned, indeed, I have done perversely; and these—the flock—what have they done? Please let Your hand be on me and on the house of my father.”
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 comes to David on that day and says to him, “Go up, raise an altar to YHWH 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 goes up, according to the word of Gad, as YHWH commanded.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh a uen Gad kah ol vanbangla David khaw cet.
20 And Araunah looks, and sees the king and his servants passing over to him, and Araunah goes out and bows himself to the king [with] his face to the earth.
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 says, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” And David says, “To buy the threshing-floor from you, to build an altar to YHWH, and the plague is restrained 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 says to David, “Let my lord the king take [it] and cause that which is good in his eyes to ascend; see, [here are] the oxen for a burnt-offering, and the threshing instruments, and the instruments 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 Araunah has given the whole [as] a king to a king; and Araunah says to the king, “Your God YHWH accepts you.”
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 says to Araunah, “No, for I surely buy from you for a price, and I do not cause burnt-offerings to ascend to my God YHWH for nothing”; and David buys 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 builds an altar to YHWH there, and causes burnt-offerings and peace-offerings to ascend, and YHWH accepts the plea for the land, and the plague is restrained 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.
