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].
KU e mai la o Satana i ka Iseraela, a hoowalewale mai la ia Davida e helu aku i ka Iseraela.
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.”
Olelo aku la o Davida ia Ioaba a i na luna o kanaka, Ou haele, e helu i ka Iseraela, mai Beereseba a hiki i Dana: a e lawe mai i ko lakou helu ana io'u nei, i ike au.
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.”
Ekemu mai la o Ioaba, E hoonui o Iehova i kona poe kanaka, a pahaneri hou aku: aka, e kuu haku, e ke alii, aole anei lakou a pau na kauwa a kuu haku? No ke aha la hoi e makemake nei kuu haku ia mea? No ke aha la oia e lilo ai i kumu e lawehala ai o ka Iseraela?
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,
Aka, ua ikaika ka olelo a ke alii maluna o Ioaba. Nolaila, hele aku la o Ioaba, a kaahele mawaena o Iseraela a pau, a hoi mai la i Ierusalema.
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.
Haawi aku la o Ioaba i ka huina o ka helu ana i na kanaka ia Davida. A o ka helu ana i ka Iseraela a pau, he tausani tausani a me ka haneri tausani keu ka poe i unuhi i ka pahikaua: a no ka Iuda eha haneri a me kanahiku tausani kanaka ka i unuhi i ka pahikaua.
6 Joab did not count the men from the tribes of Levi and Benjamin, because he was disgusted with what the king had commanded.
Aka, aole ia i helu i ka Levi a me ka Beniamina, no ka mea, ua hoowahawahaia ka olelo a ke alii e Ioaba.
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.
A he hewa no ia mea imua o na maka o Iehova; nolaila ia i hahau ai i ka Iseraela.
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.”
Olelo aku la o Davida i ke Akua, Ua hana lapuwale iho nei au i kuu hana ana ia mea: a ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e kala ae oe i ka hewa o kau kauwa; no ka mea, ua hana lapuwale loa no wau.
9 Then Yahweh said to Gad, David’s prophet,
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Gada i ko Davida kaula, i mai la,
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.”
O hele e hai ia Davida, i ka i ana aku, Eia ka Iehova e olelo mai nei, Ke hoike aku nei au nou i ekolu mau mea; e koho oe i kekahi o lakou, i hana aku ai au ia ia oe.
11 So Gad went to David and said to him, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You can choose one of these [punishments]:
A hele mai la o Gada, i mai la ia ia, Eia ka Iehova e olelo mai nei, e koho oe nou,
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.”
I na makahiki wi ekolu paha; a ekolu na malama paha e hee ai imua o kou poe enemi, a loaa mai oukou i ka pahikaua o kou poe enemi; a eia paha, ekolu la o ka pahikaua o Iehova, oia ke ahulau ma ka aina, a o ka anela o Iehova e luku mai ana ma na palena a pau o ka Iseraela. Nolaila hoi, e kuka iho oe i ka olelo na'u e hoihoi aku i ka mea nana au i hoouna mai.
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].”
Olelo mai la o Davida ia Gada, He pilikia nui ko'u: e aho e haule iho au ano iloko o ka lima o Iehova; no ka mea, he nui loa kona aloha: aole au make haule iloko o ka lima o kanaka.
14 So Yahweh sent a plague on [the people of] Israel, and 70,000 of them died because of it.
A hoouna mai la o Iehova i ke ahulau iluna o ka Iseraela; a make iho la na kanaka o ka Iseraela he kanahiku tausani.
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]!”
A hoouna mai la ke Akua i kekahi anela i Ierusalema e luku iho ia wahi: a i kona luku ana, nana mai la o Iehova, a hoololi iho la i kona manao hoino mai; a i mai la ia i ka anela nana i luku mai, U'oki, e alia kou lima ano. A ku iho la ka anela o Iehova ma kahi hehi palaoa o Orenana ka Iebusa.
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.
Nana ae la na maka o Davida iluna, a ike aku la i ka anela o Iehova e ku ana mawaena o ka honua a o ka lani, a he pahikaua i unuhiia ma kona lima i oia'ku maluna o Ierusalema. Alaila, o Davida a me na lunakahiko i aahuia i ke kapa inoino, haule iho la lakou ilalo ke alo.
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].”
Olelo aku la o Davida i ke Akua, Aole anei owau ka mea i kauoha aku e heluia'i na kanaka? Owau io no ka mea i hewa, a i hana i keia mea ino maoli. Aka, o keia poe hipa, heaha ka lakou i hana'i? Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e Iehova kuu Akua, e kau mai i kou lima maluna iho o'u a o ka ohana a ko'u makuakane; aole maluna o kou poe kanaka, e make ai lakou.
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.
Alaila, kauoha mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Gada, e olelo aku ia Davida, e pii aku o Davida, a e kukulu i kuahu no Iehova ma kahi hehi palaoa o Orenana ka Iebusa.
19 So [after Gad told] David, [he] obeyed the message that Yahweh [MTY] had given to Gad, [and he went up there].
Pii aku la o Davida no ka olelo ana a Gada, ana i olelo ai ma ka inoa o Iehova.
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.
Haliu ae la o Orenana ihope, a ike aku la i ka anela, alaila pee iho la oia a me kana mau keikikane eha me ia. E hehi palaoa ana o Orenana.
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.
A i ka hele ana mai o Davida io Orenana la, nana ae la o Orenana, a ike aku la ia Davida, a hele aku la ia iwaho o kahi hehi palaoa, a kulou iho la ia imua o Davida, ilalo ke alo ma ka honua.
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.”
Alaila, i mai la o Davida ia Orenana, E haawi mai oe i ka wahi hehi palaoa, i kukulu iho ai au ilaila i kuahu no Iehova: e haawi mai oe ia'u ia no ke kumukuai maoli: i hookiia'i ke ahulau mai na kanaka aku.
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.”
I aku la o Orenana ia Davida, E lawe oe nou, a e hana iho kuu haku ke alii i ka mea pono imua o kona maka. Aia hoi, ke haawi aku nei au i na bipi no na mohaikuni, a me na laau kaa palaoa i wahie, a me ka palaoa i mohaiai: ke haawi aku nei au ia a pau loa.
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.”
Olelo mai la o Davida ke alii ia Orenana, Aole, aka, he oiaio no, e kuai no au ia wahi no ke kumukuai maoli: no ka mea, aole au e lawe i kau no Iehova, aole hoi e kaumaha aku i na mohaikuni i kuai ole ia.
25 So David paid Araunah 600 pieces of gold for the whole area.
A uku aku o Davida ia Orenana i eono haneri sekela gula ma ke kaupaona ana, no ia wahi.
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.
A hana iho la o Davida i kuahu no Iehova malaila, a kaumaha aku la i na mohaikuni, a me na mohai hoomalu, a kahea aku la oia ia Iehova; a maliu mai la oia ia ia mai ka lani mai i ke ahi maluna o ke kuahu mohaikuni.
27 Then Yahweh spoke to the angel, and told him to put his sword back into its sheath. [So the angel did that].
Kauoha mai la o Iehova i ka anela; a hoihoi ae la ia i ka pahikaua maloko o kona wahi.
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.
Ia manawa no, a ike aku la o Davida ua maliu mai o Iehova ia ia ma kahi hehi palaoa o Orenana ka Iebusa, alaila mohai aku la ia ma ia wahi.
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].
No ka mea, o ka halelewa o Iehova, a Mose i hana'i iloko o ka waoakua, a me ke kuahu mohaikuni, aia no ia i kela manawa ma kahi kiekie o Gibeona.
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.
Aka, aole i hiki ia Davida ke hele ilaila e ninau i ke Akua imua ona: no ka mea, ua makau oia i ka pahikaua o ka anela o Iehova.
