1 Chronicles 21
1 And an adversary up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
Yon jou, Satan move sou pèp Izrayèl la, li pouse David al konte konbe moun ki nan pèp Izrayèl la.
2 And David said to Joab and to the leaders of the people, "Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them."
Wa a pale ak Joab ansanm ak lòt chèf yo, li di yo konsa: -Ale nan tout branch fanmi Izrayèl yo, depi lavil Bètcheba nan sid jouk lavil Dann nan nò. Konte dènye moun ki nan pèp la. Lèfini, fè m' yon rapò pou m' ka konnen konbe moun ki gen nan peyi a.
3 Joab said, "May Jehovah make his people a hundred times as many as they are. But, my lord the king, aren't they all my lord's servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?"
Men Joab di wa a konsa: -Monwa, mwen mande Seyè a pou li fè pèp Izrayèl la vin san fwa pi plis pase jan li ye koulye a. Lèfini, monwa, ou konnen yo tout la ap sèvi ou. Men poukisa, monwa, ou vle fè sa? Poukisa ou vle pòte pèp Izrayèl la fè sa ki mal?
4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
Men, wa a pa t' soti pou li chanje lòd li te bay la. Konsa, Joab pati, li vwayaje nan tout peyi a. Apre sa, li tounen lavil Jerizalèm.
5 Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew sword: and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who drew sword.
Joab renmèt wa a rapò ki bay kantite moun ki te gen antou nan tout peyi a. Se konsa yo te jwenn yon milyon sanmil (1.100.000) gason ki konn sèvi ak nepe nan peyi Izrayèl la ak katsanswasanndimil (470.000) nan peyi Jida a.
6 But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
Men Joab pa t' konte moun ni nan branch fanmi Levi a, ni nan branch fanmi Benjamen an, paske lòd wa a te bay la pa t' antre nan santiman l' menm.
7 God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel.
Men, sa David te fè a pa t' fè Bondye plezi. Bondye pini pèp Izrayèl la.
8 David said to God, "I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly."
Lè sa a, David di Bondye: -Sa m' fè la a, se yon gwo peche. Koulye a, tanpri, padonnen m'. Pa bliye se sèvitè ou mwen ye. Mwen te aji tankou moun fou.
9 Jehovah spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,
Seyè a pale ak pwofèt Gad, konseye David la, li di l' konsa:
10 "Go and speak to David, saying, 'Thus says Jehovah, "I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you."'"
-Ale pale ak David. W'a di l' men mesaj Seyè a voye ba ou. Li mete twa chatiman devan ou. Ou menm, w'a chwazi yonn ladan yo. Sa w'a chwazi a, se sa l'a fè ou.
11 So Gad came to David, and said to him, "Thus says Jehovah, 'Take your choice:
Se konsa Gad al jwenn David lakay li, li di l' konsa: -Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Kisa ou vle?
12 either three years of famine; or three months of fleeing from before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days the sword of Jehovah, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of Jehovah destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.'"
Twa lanne grangou nan tout peyi a, twa mwa ap kouri devan lènmi k'ap pousib ou ak sòlda yo, osinon twa jou ap sibi chatiman Seyè a ak yon epidemi nan tout peyi a, pou zanj Seyè a menm ap mache touye moun nan tout peyi Izrayèl la? Al kalkile sou sa pou fe m' konnen ki repons pou m' pote bay moun ki voye m' lan.
13 David said to Gad, "I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into the hand of Jehovah; for his mercies are very great. Let me not fall into the hand of man."
David reponn: -M' nan gwo tèt chaje! Men, m' pa vle tonbe anba men lèzòm menm! Pito se Seyè a ki pini m', paske li gen bon kè!
14 So Jehovah sent a pestilence on Israel; and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
Se konsa, Seyè a voye yon epidemi sou pèp Izrayèl la. Li touye swasanndimil (70.000) moun nan pèp Izrayèl la.
15 God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, Jehovah saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, "It is enough; now stay your hand." The angel of Jehovah was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Seyè a te voye zanj li sou lavil Jerizalèm pou detwi l'. Lè zanj lan konmanse fè travay li, Seyè a wè sa, li fè lide sispann chatiman an. Li di zanj ki t'ap touye moun yo: -Sispann! Kenbe men ou! Lè sa a, zanj lan te gen tan toupre glasi Onan an, moun lavil Jebis la.
16 David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Jehovah standing between earth and the sky, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.
David voye je l', li wè zanj Seyè a kanpe nan lè a, san pye l' pa touche tè, bra l' lonje sou lavil Jerizalèm ak yon nepe nan men l'. Lè sa a, David ak chèf fanmi yo, rad sak yo sou yo, bese tèt yo jouk atè.
17 David said to God, "Isn't it I who commanded the people to be numbered? It is even I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, Jehovah my God, be against me, and against my father's house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued."
David pale ak Seyè a, li di l' konsa: -Se mwen menm ki te mande pou yo konte moun yo. Se mwen menm ki antò. Se mwen menm ki fè sa ki mal. Kisa moun sa yo fè? Se mouton yo ye. Tanpri, Seyè, Bondye mwen, pa voye ankenn malè sou pèp la. Se mwen menm ansanm ak fanmi mwen pou ou ta pini.
18 Then the angel of Jehovah commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up, and raise an altar to Jehovah in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Zanj Seyè a te bay pwofèt Gad lòd pou l' te al mande David pou l' moute lakay Onan, moun lavil Jebis la, bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a nan mitan glasi a.
19 David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of Jehovah.
David koute sa Gad te di l' la, li moute lakay Onan jan Seyè a te ba li lòd la.
20 Ornan turned back, and saw the king, and his four sons who were with him hiding themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
Onan menm t'ap bat ble ansanm ak kat pitit gason l' yo ki te la avè l' sou glasi a. Lè yo wè zanj lan, pitit li yo kouri al kache.
21 As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
Onan vire tèt li, li wè David ki t'ap vini. Li kite glasi a, li tonbe ajenou devan wa a, li bese tèt li jouk fwon li touche tè.
22 Then David said to Ornan, "Give me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build thereon an altar to Jehovah. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people."
David di Onan konsa: -Vann mwen anplasman glasi a pou m' bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a. Ban mwen li pou pri li vo. Konsa, epidemi k'ap fini ak pèp la va sispann.
23 Ornan said to David, "Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Look, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all."
Onan di David konsa: -Monwa, ou mèt pran l' pou fè sa ou vle avè l'. Men m'ap bay bèf sa yo pou ou boule nèt sou lotèl la. Men jouk bèf yo ak bwa kabwa yo pou fè dife, ak ble pou sèvi ofrann grenn jaden an. M'ap ba ou tout bagay sa yo.
24 King David said to Ornan, "No; but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for Jehovah, nor offer a burnt offering without cost."
Men wa David reponn Onan, li di l': -Non. Se achte m'ap achte. Se pou m' peye ou sa yo vo. M' pa ka ofri Seyè a sa ki pou ou. Mwen p'ap pran anyen ki pa koute m' lajan pou m' ofri bay Seyè a.
25 So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
Se konsa David bay Onan swasant pyès lò pou anplasman glasi a.
26 David built an altar to Jehovah there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on Jehovah; and he answered him from heaven by fire on the altar of burnt offering, and it consumed the burnt offering.
Lèfini, li bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a, li fè ofrann bèt boule pou Bondye ak ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi. Li lapriyè nan pye Seyè a. Seyè a reponn li, li voye dife soti nan syèl la pou boule ofrann ki sou lotèl la.
27 Jehovah commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.
Lè sa a, Seyè a bay zanj li a lòd pou li mete nepe li nan djenn li ankò.
28 At that time, when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
Lè David wè Seyè a te reponn lapriyè li te fè nan pye l' sou glasi Onan, moun lavil Jebis la, li ofri bèt pou touye sou lotèl la.
29 For the tabernacle of Jehovah, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
Men lè sa a, Tant Randevou Moyiz te fè moute pou Seyè a nan dezè a ansanm ak lotèl pou boule ofrann bèt yo te sou mòn Gabawon toujou, kote yo te mete apa pou Seyè a.
30 But David couldn't go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Jehovah.
Men, David pa t' ka ale la pou adore Seyè a, paske li te pè nepe zanj Seyè a.
