1 Chronicles 21
1 Sotheli Sathan roos ayens Israel, and stiride Dauid for to noumbre Israel.
Ɔbonsam sɔre tiaa Israel, maa Dawid kan Israelfo.
2 And Dauid seide to Joab, and to the princes of the puple, Go ye, and noumbre Israel fro Bersabe til to Dan, and brynge ye the noumbre to me, that Y wite.
Dawid hyɛɛ Yoab ne nʼasahene sɛ, “Monkan nnipa a wɔwɔ asase yi so nyinaa efi Beer-Seba a ɛwɔ anafo fam kosi Dan a ɛwɔ atifi fam, na momfa wɔn dodow mmrɛ me, na ɛmma minhu wɔn ano.”
3 And Joab answeride, The Lord encresse his puple an hundrid fold more than thei ben; my lord the kyng, whether alle ben not thi seruauntis? Whi sekith my lord this thing, that schal be arettid in to synne to Israel?
Na Yoab kae se, “Awurade mmɔ ne nkurɔfo no dodow ho mpɛn ɔha ɔha! Na me wura, adɛn nti na wopɛ sɛ woyɛ saa? Wɔn nyinaa nyɛ wʼasomfo ana? Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ ma Israel yɛ bɔne?”
4 But the word of the kyng hadde more the maistrie; and Joab yede out, and cumpasside al Israel, and turnede ayen in to Jerusalem.
Nanso ɔhene no kae se, nea ɛte biara ɛsɛ sɛ Yoab kan nnipa no. Enti Yoab kyinkyinii Israel nyinaa kan nnipa no. Na ɔsan baa Yerusalem
5 And he yaf to Dauid the noumbre of hem, which he hadde cumpassid; and al the noumbre of Israel was foundun a thousynde thousande, and an hundrid thousynde of men, drawynge out swerd; forsothe of Juda weren thre hundrid thousynde, and seuenti thousynde of werriouris.
bɛkaa nnipa no dodow kyerɛɛ Dawid. Na wɔn dodow yɛ mmarima ɔpepem baako ne mpem ɔha a wɔaso ɔsakɔ wɔ Israel ne mpem ahannan aduɔson wɔ Yuda.
6 For Joab noumbride not Leuy and Beniamyn, for ayens his wille he dide the comaundement of the kyng.
Nanso Yoab amfa Lewi ne Benyamin mmusuakuw anka nnipakan no ho, efisɛ na nea ɔhene ahyɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no yɛ no ahometew.
7 Forsothe that that was comaundid displeside the Lord, and he smoot Israel.
Onyankopɔn ampɛ nnipakan no koraa, enti ɔtwee Israel aso wɔ ho.
8 And Dauid seide to God, Y synnede greetli that Y wolde do this; Y biseche, do thou awey the wickidnesse of thi seruaunt, for Y dide folili.
Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn se, “Mayɛ bɔne kɛse. Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ mekan nnipa no. Mesrɛ wo, fa me nkwaseade a mayɛ no kyɛ me.”
9 And the Lord spak to Gad, the profete of Dauid,
Na Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Gad a ɔyɛ Dawid ɔdehufo no se,
10 and seide, Go thou, and speke to Dauid, and seie to him, The Lord seith these thingis, Y yeue to thee the chesyng of thre thingis; chese thou oon which thou wolt, that Y do to thee.
“Kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ Dawid se, ‘Sɛnea Awurade se ni: Merema wo nsɛm ahorow abiɛsa. Paw emu baako na menyɛ ntia wo.’”
11 And whanne Gad was comen to Dauid, he seide to Dauid, The Lord seith these thingis, Chese thou that that thou wolt, ether pestilence thre yeer,
Enti Gad baa Dawid nkyɛn bɛkae se, “Sɛnea Awurade se ni: ‘Paw emu nea wopɛ:
12 ether that thre monethis thou fle thin enemyes and mow not ascape her swerd, ether that the swerd of the Lord and deeth regne thre daies in the lond, and that the aungel of the Lord slee in alle the coostis of Israel. Now therfor se thou, what Y schal answere to hym that sente me.
mfe abiɛsa a ɔkɔm kɛse bɛba anaa asram abiɛsa a wʼatamfo bekunkum mo anaa nnansa a ɔyaredɔm a ano yɛ den yiye a, Awurade bɔfo nam so de ɔsɛe bɛba Israel asase so.’ Afei dwene eyi ho, na ma minhu mmuae ko a memfa nkɔma Awurade.”
13 And Dauid seide to Gad, Angwischis oppresse me on ech part, but it is betere to me, that Y falle in to the hondis of the Lord, for his merciful doynges ben manye, than in to the hondis of men.
Dawid buaa Gad se, “Mewɔ ahohiahia mu. Ma mentɔ Awurade nsam, efisɛ nʼahummɔbɔ no so. Mma me nkɔtɔ nnipa nsam.”
14 Therfor the Lord sente pestilence in to Israel, and seuenti thousynde of men felden doun of Israel.
Na Awurade maa ɔyaredɔm baa Israel so, maa nnipa mpem aduɔson wuwui.
15 Also he sente an aungel in to Jerusalem, that he schulde smyte it; and whanne it was smytun, the Lord siy, and hadde merci on the greetnesse of yuel; and comaundide to the aungel that smoot, It suffisith, now thin hond ceesse. Forsothe the aungel of the Lord stood bisidis the cornfloor of Ornam Jebusey.
Afei, Onyankopɔn somaa ɔsoro ɔbɔfo sɛ ɔnkɔsɛe Yerusalem. Na bɔfo no reyɛ no, Awurade nyaa ahummɔbɔ ka kyerɛɛ owu ɔbɔfo no se, “Gyae! Ɛno ara dɔɔso!” Saa bere no na ɔbɔfo no gyina Yebusini Arauna awiporowbea hɔ.
16 And Dauid reiside hise iyen, and siy the aungel of the Lord stondynge bitwixe heuene and erthe, and a drawun swerd in his hond, and turnede ayens Jerusalem. And bothe he and the grettere men in birthe weren clothid with heiris, and felden doun lowe on the erthe.
Dawid pagyaw nʼani huu sɛ Awurade bɔfo no gyina ɔsoro ne asase ntam a, watwe nʼafoa de akyerɛ Yerusalem so. Enti Dawid ne Israel mpanyimfo furaa atweaatam de kyerɛɛ wɔn ahoyeraw, na wɔhwehwee fam de wɔn anim butubutuw hɔ.
17 And Dauid seide to the Lord, Whether Y am not that comaundide that the puple schulde be noumbrid? Y it am that synnede, Y it am that dide yuel; what disseruid this floc? My Lord God, Y biseche, thin hond be turned `in to me, and `in to the hows of my fadir; but thi puple be not smytun.
Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn se, “Me na mede nnipakan no ho asɛm bae! Me ne obi a mayɛ bɔne na mafom. Saa nkurɔfo yi de, ɛso bi nna wɔn so. Dɛn na wɔayɛ? Awurade me Nyankopɔn, ma wʼabufuw mmra me ne me fifo so, na nsɛe wo nkurɔfo.”
18 Forsothe an aungel of the Lord comaundide Gad, that he schulde seie to Dauid, `that he schulde stie, and bilde an auter to the Lord God in the cornfloor of Ornam Jebusei.
Na Awurade bɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ Gad se ɔnka nkyerɛ Dawid mma onsi afɔremuka mma Awurade wɔ Yebusini Arauna awiporowbea hɔ.
19 Therfor Dauid stiede bi the word of Gad, which he spak to hym bi the word of the Lord.
Na Dawid yɛɛ nea Awurade nam Gad so ka kyerɛɛ no no.
20 Forsothe whanne Ornam hadde `biholde, and hadde seyn the aungel, and hise foure sones `with hym `hadde seyn, thei hidden hem, for in that tyme he threischide whete in the cornfloor.
Arauna a saa bere no na nʼani abere reporow nʼatoko so no dan ne ho huu ɔbɔfo no wɔ hɔ. Ne mmabarima baanan a na wɔka ne ho wɔ hɔ no guan kohintawee.
21 Therfor whanne Dauid cam to Ornam, Ornam bihelde Dauid, and yede forth fro the cornfloor ayens hym, and worschipide hym, lowli on the ground.
Bere a Arauna huu sɛ ɔhene Dawid reba awiporowbea hɔ no, ofi hɔ kɔkotow nʼanim.
22 And Dauid seide to hym, Yyue the place of thi cornfloor to me, that Y bilde ther ynne an auter to the Lord; so that thou take as myche siluer as it is worth, and that the veniaunce ceesse fro the puple.
Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Arauna se, “Tɔn awiporowbea yi ma me sɛnea ne bo te. Na mesi afɔremuka ama Awurade wɔ hɔ sɛnea obesiw ɔyaredɔm no ano.”
23 Forsothe Ornam seide to Dauid, Take thou, and my lord the kyng do what euer thing plesith hym; but also Y yyue oxis in to brent sacrifice, and instrumentis of tree, wherbi cornes ben throischun, in to trees, and wheete in to sacrifice; Y yyue alle thingis wilfully.
Arauna ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Fa, me wura, na fa yɛ nea wopɛ. Anantwi a wode bɛbɔ afɔre ni. Wubetumi de awiporowbea nnua yi ayɛ nnyina de asɔ gya wɔ afɔremuka no so. Fa atoko no nso bɔ atoko afɔre. Mede ne nyinaa bɛma wo.”
24 And `Dauid the kyng seide to hym, It schal not be don so, but Y schal yyue siluer as myche as it is worth; for Y owe not take awei fro thee, and offre so to the Lord brent sacrifices freli youun.
Na ɔhene no buaa Arauna se, “Dabi! Mepɛ sɛ mitua nea ɛfata ma wo. Merentumi nnye wʼagyapade mfa mma Awurade. Meremmɔ ɔhyew afɔre a memmɔɔ ho ka.”
25 Therfor Dauid yaf to Ornam for the place sixe hundrid siclis of gold of most iust weiyte.
Enti Dawid tuaa sikakɔkɔɔ kilogram ason maa Arauna, de tɔɔ awiporowbea no.
26 And he bildide there an auter to the Lord, and he offride brent sacrifice and pesible sacrifices, and he inwardli clepide God; and God herde hym in fier fro heuene on the auter of brent sacrifice.
Dawid sii afɔremuka wɔ hɔ maa Awurade, bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre wɔ so. Na Dawid bɔɔ mpae no, Awurade tiee no, nam so de ogya fi soro bɛhyew afɔrebɔde a ɛwɔ afɔremuka no so no.
27 And the Lord comaundide to the aungel, and he turnede his swerd in to the schethe.
Afei, Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ ɔbɔfo no ma ɔsan de nʼafoa no hyɛɛ ne boha mu.
28 Therfor anoon Dauid siy, that the Lord hadde herd hym in the corn floor of Ornam Jebusey, and he offride there slayn sacrifices.
Bere a Dawid huu sɛ Awurade atie ne mpaebɔ no, ɔbɔɔ afɔre pii wɔ Yebusini Arauna awiporowbea hɔ.
29 Forsothe the tabernacle of the Lord, that Moyses hadde maad in the deseert, and the auter of brent sacrifices, was in that tempest in the hiy place of Gabaon;
Saa bere no na Awurade Ahyiae Ntamadan ne afɔremuka a Mose sii wɔ sare so hɔ no sisi Gibeon sorɔnsorɔmmea hɔ.
30 and Dauid myyte not go to the auter, to biseche God there, for he was aferd bi ful greet drede, seynge the swerd of the `aungel of the Lord.
Nanso Dawid antumi ankɔ hɔ ankobisa Onyankopɔn ase, efisɛ afoa a Awurade bɔfo no twee no bɔɔ no hu.
