1 Chronicles 21
1 Then the accuser 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 unto Joab and unto the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel, from Beer-sheba even unto Dan, —and bring [the report] unto me, that I may know the number 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 Then said Joab, May Yahweh add unto his people, as many as they are, a hundred times, but are they not, my lord O king, all of them my lord’s, as servants? wherefore should my lord seek this? wherefore should it become guilt to 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 But, the word of the king, prevailed against Joab, —and Joab departed, and went to and fro 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 delivered the sum of the number of the people, unto David, —and all Israel was found to be a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men, who drew sword, and Judah, four hundred and seventy thousand men, who 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, counted he not among them, —for detestable was the word of the king unto Joab.
Kasi kati na bango, Joabi atangaki te ekolo ya Levi mpe ya Benjame; pamba te etinda ya mokonzi esepelisaki ye te.
7 And it was displeasing in the eyes of God, concerning this thing, —therefore smote he 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, I beseech thee, take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have shown myself very foolish.
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 Then spake Yahweh unto Gad, the seer of David saying:
Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Gadi, mopesi toli ya Davidi:
10 Go—and thou shalt speak unto David, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, Three things, do I offer thee, —choose thee one from among 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 unto David, —and said to him, Thus, saith Yahweh,
Gadi akendeki koyebisa Davidi makambo oyo Yawe alobaki na ye: — Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: « Oponi etumbu nini:
12 Choose thee: —Whether, for three years, [there be] famine, Or, for three months, that thou flee before thine adversaries, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee, Or, for three days, the sword of Yahweh, and pestilence be in the land, with, the messenger of Yahweh, laying waste throughout all the boundary of Israel, —Now, therefore, see, what, answer, I shall return unto 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, —Oh let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Yahweh, for abounding are his compassions, exceedingly, but, into the hand of man, let me not fall.
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 Yahweh laid 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 a messenger to Jerusalem, to lay it waste, but, as he was laying it waste, Yahweh looked, and relented concerning the calamity, and said unto the messenger who was laying waste, Enough! now, stay thy hand. And, the messenger of Yahweh, 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, when David lifted up his eyes, and saw the messenger of Yahweh, standing, between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn, in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem, then fell David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, 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, Was it not, I, who gave word to number the people? Yea, I, it was who sinned and did the great wrong, what then had, these sheep, done? O Yahweh, my God, let thy hand, I beseech thee, be against me, and against the house of my father, 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 And, the messenger of Yahweh, commanded Gad, to say unto David, —that David should go up, to rear an altar unto Yahweh, 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 So David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spake in the name of Yahweh.
Davidi akendeki kuna kolanda liloba oyo Gadi alobaki na Kombo na Yawe.
20 And Ornan turned, and saw the messenger, but, his four sons with him, were hiding themselves, —now, Ornan, had been 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 Then came David unto Ornan, —and Ornan looked, and saw David, and went forth out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself unto 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 And David said unto Ornan, Grant me the place of the threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar, unto Yahweh, —for silver in full, shalt thou grant it me, that the plague may be stayed from off 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 what is good in his own eyes, —see! I have given the oxen for ascending-sacrifices, and, the threshing implements for wood, and the wheat for a meal-offering, —the whole, have I given.
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 Then said King David to Ornan, Nay! but I will, surely buy, it for silver in full, —for I will not take that which is thine for Yahweh, nor offer an ascending-sacrifice that hath cost me nothing.
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, —shekels of gold, by weight, six hundred.
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 Yahweh, and caused to go up ascending-sacrifices, and peace-offerings, —and called unto Yahweh, and he responded to him, by fire, out of the heavens, upon the altar of ascending-sacrifice.
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 Yahweh gave word to tile messenger, and he put back his sword into its sheath.
Boye Yawe alobaki na anjelu, mpe anjelu azongisaki mopanga na ye na ebombelo na yango.
28 At that time, when David saw that Yahweh 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 But, the habitation of Yahweh, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of ascending-sacrifice, 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 and David could not go before it, to seek God, —for he had been terrified, because of the sword of the messenger of Yahweh.
Nzokande Davidi azalaki kokoka te kozwa mokano ya kokende kotuna Nzambe liboso ya Mongombo, pamba te azalaki kobanga mopanga na Yawe.
