1 Chronicles 21
1 Satan decided to cause the Israeli people to have trouble. So he incited David to find out how many men in Israel [were able to be in the army].
Sa: ida: ne da Isala: ili fi ilima bidi hamosu ima: ne dawa: i galu. E da Da: ibidi ea asigi dawa: su ganodini hamobeba: le, Da: ibidi da Isala: ili fi dunu huluane idili dedemusa: dawa: i galu.
2 So David commanded Joab and the other army commanders, “Count all the men in Israel [who are able to be in the army]. Start at Beersheba [town in the south] and go all the way to Dan [city in the north]. Then come back and report to me, in order that I may know how many men there are.”
Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi da dadi gagui wa: i ouligisudafa amo Youa: be, amola ea afoha ouligisu dunu huluane ilima amane sia: i, “Isala: ili fi huluane fadomane fasisa asili muni na: iyado soge bega: asili na: iyado bega: doaga: le amola dunu huluane idima. Na da ili idi dawa: mu hanai gala.”
3 But Joab replied, “Your majesty, even if Yahweh allowed us to have 100 times as many soldiers as we have now, you would [RHQ] still rule all of them. So why do you want us to do this? You will surely [RHQ] cause [all the people of] Israel to be guilty of sinning.”
Be Youa: be da amane adole i, “Hina noga: idafa! Dia Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunu ilia idi amo bagalesili, bu afae da 100 ba: ma: ne hamomu da defea. Amola amo dafawane ba: ma: ne, di da esalumu da defea. Be di, hina noga: idafa, ninia fi huluane da wadela: le hamosa: besa: le, abuliba: le amo hamomusa: hanabela: ?”
4 But David would not change his mind. So Joab [and his soldiers] went everywhere in Israel and in Judah, and counted the people. Then they returned to Jerusalem,
Be Da: ibidi da Youa: be ea sia: i nabawane hamoma: ne logei. Youa: be da e fisili, Isala: ili dunu idimusa: asi. E da Isala: ili soge huluanedafa amo ganodini ahoanu, Yelusalemega buhagi.
5 and they reported to David that there were 1,100,000 men in Israel who could be in the army, and 470,000 in Judah.
E da hina bagadema amo dunu huluane amo da gegemusa: defele esalu, amo ilia idi ema sia: ne iasu. Ilia idi da Isala: ili dunu 1,100,000 agoane amola Yuda dunu 470,000 agoane.
6 Joab did not count the men from the tribes of Levi and Benjamin, because he was disgusted with what the king had commanded.
Youa: be da hina bagade Da: ibidi ea hamoma: ne sia: i higa: iba: le, e da Lifai amola Bediamini fi dunu hame idili dedei.
7 David’s command to count the people caused God to become angry, so he [told David that he had decided to] punish [the people of] Israel.
Gode da amo hou hamoi hihini ba: i. Amaiba: le, e da Isala: ili fi ilima se iasu i.
8 Then David prayed, saying, “Yahweh, what I did was very foolish. I have sinned greatly by what I have done. So now I plead with you, please forgive me.”
Da: ibidi da Godema amane sia: i, “Na da amo hamobeba: le, wadela: le bagadedafa hamoi. Dafawane! Na da gagaoui agoane hamoi dagoi. Na gogolema: ne olofoma.”
9 Then Yahweh said to Gad, David’s prophet,
Hina Gode da Ga: de (Da: ibidi ea balofede dunu) ema amane sia: i,
10 “Go and tell this to David: I am allowing you to choose one of three things [to punish you]. I will do whichever one you choose.”
“Di Da: ibidima asili, amola ema Na da ilegesu udiana ema olelemu. Amo ilegesu hi da ilegesea, amo Na da ema hamomu.”
11 So Gad went to David and said to him, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You can choose one of these [punishments]:
Ga: de da ema asili, Hina Gode Ea sia: i ema alofele i. E da Da: ibidima amane adole ba: i, “Di da adi ilegesala: ?
12 three years of famine [in Israel], or three months during which your armies will run away from their enemies [who will attack them with] swords, or three days during which I will send my angel to cause many people in the country to die because of a (plague/very serious illness).’ So, you must decide what I will say to answer [Yahweh, ] the one who sent me.”
Dia soge amo ganodini ha: i ode udiana ilegema: bela: ? O oubi udiana amoga dia ha lai da di hasalabeba: le, di sefasimu, amo ilegema: bela: ? O eso udiana Hina Gode da Ea gegesu gobiheiga dima doagala: mu amola olo bagade dia sogega madelama: ne, Ea a: igele dunu asunasimu, amo ilegema: bela: ? Di dawa: lalu, nama adole ima. Amasea, na da Hina Godema alofele adole imunu.”
13 David replied to Gad, “I am very distressed. But allow Yahweh to punish [MTY] me, because he is very merciful. Do not allow humans to punish me, [because they will not be merciful].”
Da: ibidi da bu adole i, “Na da bidi hamosu bagadedafa amoga sisiga: i. Be na da osobo bagade dunuga se nabimu higa: i. Hina Gode Hisu da ninima se imunu da defea. Bai e da asigisa, amola gogolema: ne olofosu dawa:”
14 So Yahweh sent a plague on [the people of] Israel, and 70,000 of them died because of it.
Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da olo bagade Isala: ili dunuma iasi. Olo da amogala hahabe muni, Gode ea ilegei eso idi ganodini ba: i. Olo da Isala: ili soge bega: asili, la: idi bega: doaga: le, amola Isala: ili dunu 70,000 agoane da bogogia: i ba: i.
15 And God sent an angel to destroy the people in Jerusalem by the plague. But when the angel was standing at the ground where Araunah, from the Jebus people-group, threshed grain, Yahweh saw all the suffering that the people had endured, and he was grieved. So he said to the angel, “Stop what you are doing [IDM]! That is enough [IDM]!”
Hina Gode da Ea a: igele dunu Yelusaleme wadela: lesimusa: asunasi. Be Hina Gode ea asigi dawa: su afadenene, da: i dione, a:igele dunuma sia: i, “Aligima! Bu mae wadela: lesima.” Amogalu, a:igele dunu da Yebiusaide dunu ea dio amo Alona ea widi dabasu sogebi amoga lelebe ba: i.
16 David looked up and saw the angel whom Yahweh had sent, standing between the sky and the ground. The angel had a sword in his hand that was pointed toward Jerusalem. Then David and the elders [of the city], who were wearing clothes made of rough sackcloth, prostrated themselves on the ground.
Da: ibidi da a: igele ea gegesu gobihei gaguiwane, Yelusaleme gugunufinisimusa: , osobo gadodili hamefufua esalebe ba: i. Amalalu, Da: ibidi amola Isala: ili ouligisu dunu - huluane da eboboi abulaga ga: i- ilia da beguduli osoboga mi bugila sa: i.
17 David said to God, “I am [RHQ] the one who ordered the men who could be in the army to be counted. I am the one who has sinned and done what is very wrong, but these people are [as innocent as] [MET] sheep. They have certainly not [RHQ] done anything [that is wrong]. So Yahweh my God, punish [IDM] me and my family, but do not allow this plague to continue to [cause] your people [to become sick and die].”
Da: ibidi da Hina Godema amane sia: i, “Gode! Na fawane da wadela: le hamoi. Na fawane da idili dedesu hamoma: ne sia: i. Amo hahani dunu da adi hamobela: ? Na Hina Gode! Di da na amola na sosogo ninima se imunu da defea galu. Be Dia fi dunu yolesima!”
18 Then the angel who was sent by Yahweh told Gad to go up to the place where Araunah threshed grain and tell David to build an altar to [worship] Yahweh there.
Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da ema sia: beba: le, Ga: de da Da: ibidima asili, amane sia: i, “Dia Alona ea widi dabasu amoga asili, Hina Godema gobele salimusa: , oloda gaguma.”
19 So [after Gad told] David, [he] obeyed the message that Yahweh [MTY] had given to Gad, [and he went up there].
Da: ibidi da Hina Gode Ea sia: Ga: demadi misi, amo nababeba: le, asi.
20 While Araunah was threshing some wheat, he turned and saw the angel. His four sons who were with him [also saw the angel, and they] hid themselves.
Widi dabasu sogega, Alona amola egefe biyaduyale da widi dabalelebe ba: i. Ilia da a: igele ba: beba: le, Alona egefelali da wamoaligimusa: hobea: i.
21 Then David approached. When Araunah saw him, he left the place where he was threshing grain and prostrated himself, with his face touching the ground.
Alona da hina bagade manebe ba: beba: le, e da dabasu soge fisili, beguduli osoboga mi bugila sa: i.
22 David said to him, “Please sell me your threshing place in order that I can build an altar here to [worship] Yahweh. Then he will stop this plague. I will pay the full price.”
Da: ibidi da ema amane sia: i, “Dia widi dabasu sogebi nama bidi lama! Bai amogawi amo olo hedofama: ne, na da Hina Godema oloda hamomusa: misi. Na da amo sogebi ea bidi defele dima imunu.”
23 Araunah replied, “Take it! Your majesty, do whatever you want to. I will give you the oxen [that thresh the grain] for an offering to be completely burned [on the altar]. And I will give you the threshing boards to use as wood [on the altar], and I will give you grain for a grain offering. I will give all those things to you.”
Alona da amane sia: i, “Defea, hina noga: idafa! Lama! Amola dia hanaiga Hina Godema gobele salima. Amola na bulamagau di oloda da: iya gobele salimusa: lama. Ilia ‘youge’ amola dabasu ifa amo lalu didima: ne lama. Na da amo huluane udigili dima iaha.”
24 But the king said to Araunah, “No, [I will not take these things as a gift]. I will pay you the full price for it. I will not take things that belong to you, things that have cost me nothing and offer them as sacrifices to Yahweh to be completely burned on the altar.”
Be hina bagade da bu adole i, “Hame mabu! Na da amo liligi ea bidi defele dima imunu. Liligi amo na da bidi mae iawane udigili lai, amo na da na Hina Godema hame gobele salimu.”
25 So David paid Araunah 600 pieces of gold for the whole area.
Amola, e da widi dabasu sogebi, amo gouli fage 600 agoanega bidi lai.
26 David built an altar to [worship] Yahweh there, and he offered sacrifices to be completely burned [on the altar] and sacrifices to restore fellowship [with Yahweh]. David prayed to Yahweh, and Yahweh answered by sending a fire from heaven [to burn up the offerings] on the altar.
Amalalu, Da: ibidi da Hina Godema oloda gaguli, amola amo da: iya Wadela: i Hou Dabe Ima: ne Iasu amola Hahawane Gilisili Olofele Iasu hamosu. Da: ibidi da Hina Godema sia: ne gadoi amola Hina Gode da Da: ibidi ea sia: ne gadosu nababeba: le, dabe adole i. E da muagadodili, lalu amo gobele salasu liligi gobele salimusa: iasi.
27 Then Yahweh spoke to the angel, and told him to put his sword back into its sheath. [So the angel did that].
Hina Gode da Ea a: igele dunuma, ea gegesu gobihei bu salima: ne sia: i.
28 And when David saw that Yahweh had answered him there at the place where Araunah threshed grain [and had ended the plague], he offered sacrifices there.
Amo hou ba: beba: le, Hina Gode da ea sia: ne gadosu amoma dabe adole i, Da: ibidi da ba: i dagoi. Amaiba: le, e da Alona widi dadabisu sogebiga oloda da: iya, gobele salasu.
29 Yahweh’s Sacred Tent, which Moses had commanded to be set up in the desert, and the altar for burning sacrifices completely, were at that time on a hill at Gibeon [city].
Amo esoga, Hina Gode Ea Abula Diasu (Mousese da amo hafoga: i sogega hamoi) amola oloda amoga ilia da gobele salasu, amo da Gibione sia: ne gadosu sogebiga dialebe ba: i.
30 But David did not want to go there to request God to tell him what he wanted [him to do], because he was afraid that the angel sent from Yahweh [might strike him with] his sword.
Be Da: ibidi da Godema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: , Gibione soge amoga masunu hamedei ba: i. Bai e da Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu ea gegesu gobiheiba: le beda: i galu.
