1 Chronicles 21
1 Sotheli Sathan roos ayens Israel, and stiride Dauid for to noumbre Israel.
Ɔbonsam sɔre tiaa Israel, ma Dawid kanee Israelfoɔ.
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 firi Beer-Seba a ɛwɔ anafoɔ fam kɔsi Dan a ɛwɔ atifi fam, na momfa wɔn dodoɔ mmrɛ me, na ɛmma menhunu 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 kaa sɛ, “Awurade mmɔ ne nkurɔfoɔ no dodoɔ ho mpɛn ɔha ɔha! Na me wura, adɛn enti na wopɛ sɛ woyɛ saa? Wɔn nyinaa nyɛ wʼasomfoɔ anaa? Adɛn enti 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 kaa sɛ, deɛ ɛteɛ biara ɛsɛ sɛ Yoab kan nnipa no. Enti, Yoab kyinkyinii Israel nyinaa kanee nnipa no. Na ɔsane 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 dodoɔ kyerɛɛ Dawid. Na wɔn dodoɔ yɛ mmarima ɔpepem baako ne ɔpeha a wɔaso ɔsa kɔ wɔ Israel ne ɔpehanan 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 mmusuakuo anka nnipakan no ho, ɛfiri sɛ, na deɛ ɔhene ahyɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no yɛ no ahomete.
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 sɛ, “Mayɛ bɔne kɛseɛ. Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ mekan nnipa no. Mesrɛ wo, fa me nkwaseadeɛ a mayɛ no kyɛ me.”
9 And the Lord spak to Gad, the profete of Dauid,
Na Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Gad a ɔyɛ Dawid ɔdehunumuni no. Na nkra no nie:
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 sɛ, ‘Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: Merema wo nneɛma mmiɛnsa. Yi saa asotweɛ yi mu 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 bɛkaa sɛ, “Nneɛma mmiɛnsa a Awurade de ama wo no nie:
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.
Wopɛ a, yi mfeɛ mmiɛnsa a ɛkɔm kɛseɛ bɛba anaa abosome mmiɛnsa a wʼatamfoɔ bɛkunkum mo anaa nnansa a ɔyaredɔm a ano yɛ den yie a, Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ nam so de ɔsɛeɛ bɛba Israel asase so. Dwene yei ho, na ma menhunu mmuaeɛ 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 sɛ, “Yei yɛ ahohiahiasɛm. Ma ɛmfiri Awurade nsam, ɛfiri sɛ, nʼahummɔborɔ so. Mma ɛmfiri onipa 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 ɔpeduɔson wuwuiɛ.
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 ɔbɔfoɔ sɛ ɔnkɔsɛe Yerusalem. Na ɔsoro ɔbɔfoɔ no reyɛ ahoboa asɛe no no, Awurade nyaa ahummɔborɔ ka kyerɛɛ owuo soro ɔbɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Gyae! Ɛno ara dɔɔso!” Saa ɛberɛ no na ɔsoro ɔbɔfoɔ no gyina Yebusini Arauna ayuporobea 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 pagyaa nʼani hunuu sɛ Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no gyina ɔsoro ne asase ntam a, watwe nʼakofena de akyerɛ Yerusalem so. Enti, Dawid ne Israel mpanimfoɔ firaa ayitoma de kyerɛɛ wɔn ahoyera, na wɔhwehwee fam de wɔn anim butubutuu 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 sɛ, “Me na mede nnipakan no ho asɛm baeɛ! Me ne obi a mayɛ bɔne na mafom. Saa nkurɔfoɔ yi deɛ, ɛso bi nna wɔn so. Ɛdeɛn na wɔayɛ? Ao Awurade me Onyankopɔn, ma wʼabufuo mmra me ne me fiefoɔ so, na nsɛe wo nkurɔfoɔ.”
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 ɔbɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ Gad sɛ ɔnka nkyerɛ Dawid ma ɔnsi afɔrebukyia mma Awurade wɔ Yebusini Arauna ayuporobea hɔ.
19 Therfor Dauid stiede bi the word of Gad, which he spak to hym bi the word of the Lord.
Na Dawid yɛɛ deɛ 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 ɛberɛ no nʼani abere repore nʼatokoɔ so no danee ne ho hunuu ɔbɔfoɔ no wɔ hɔ. Ne mmammarima baanan a na wɔka ne ho wɔ hɔ no dwane kɔtetɛeɛ.
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.
Ɛberɛ a Arauna hunuu sɛ ɔhene Dawid reba ayuporobea hɔ no, ɔfiri hɔ kɔkotoo 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 sɛ, “Tɔn ayuporobea yi ma me sɛdeɛ ne boɔ teɛ. Na mɛsi afɔrebukyia ama Awurade wɔ hɔ sɛdeɛ ɔbɛsi 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 sɛ, “Fa, me wura, na fa yɛ deɛ wopɛ. Anantwie a wode bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ nie. Wobɛtumi de ayuporobea nnua yi ayɛ anyina de asɔ ogya wɔ afɔrebukyia no so. Fa atokoɔ no nso bɔ atokoɔ afɔdeɛ. 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 sɛ, “Dabi! Mepɛ sɛ metua deɛ ɛfata ma wo. Merentumi nnye wʼagyapadeɛ mfa mma Awurade. Meremmɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ 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 nson maa Arauna, de tɔɔ ayuporobea 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 afɔrebukyia wɔ hɔ maa Awurade, bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ so. Na Dawid bɔɔ mpaeɛ no, Awurade tiee no, nam so de ogya firi soro bɛhyee afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛwɔ afɔrebukyia no so no.
27 And the Lord comaundide to the aungel, and he turnede his swerd in to the schethe.
Afei, Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ ɔbɔfoɔ no maa ɔsane de nʼakofena no hyɛɛ ne bɔha 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.
Ɛberɛ a Dawid hunuu sɛ Awurade atie ne mpaeɛbɔ no, ɔbɔɔ afɔdeɛ pii wɔ Yebusini Arauna ayuporobea 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 ɛberɛ no na Awurade Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan ne afɔrebukyia a Mose sii wɔ ɛserɛ 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 ankɔbisa Onyankopɔn ase, ɛfiri sɛ, akofena a Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no tweeɛ no bɔɔ no hu.
