I Oihanaalii 21
1 KU e mai la o Satana i ka Iseraela, a hoowalewale mai la ia Davida e helu aku i ka Iseraela.
And there standeth up an adversary against Israel, and persuadeth David to number Israel,
2 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.
And David saith unto Joab, and unto the heads of the people, 'Go, number Israel from Beer-Sheba even unto Dan, and bring unto me, and I know their number.'
3 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?
And Joab saith, 'Jehovah doth add to His people as they are a hundred times; are they not, my lord, O king, all of them to my lord for servants? why doth my lord seek this? why is he for a cause of guilt to Israel?'
4 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.
And the word of the king [is] severe against Joab, and Joab goeth out, and goeth up and down in all Israel, and cometh in to Jerusalem.
5 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.
And Joab giveth the account of the numbering of the people unto David, and all Israel is a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand, each drawing sword, and Judah [is] four hundred and seventy thousand, each drawing sword.
6 Aka, aole ia i helu i ka Levi a me ka Beniamina, no ka mea, ua hoowahawahaia ka olelo a ke alii e Ioaba.
And Levi and Benjamin he hath not numbered in their midst, for the word of the king was abominable with Joab.
7 A he hewa no ia mea imua o na maka o Iehova; nolaila ia i hahau ai i ka Iseraela.
And it is evil in the eyes of God concerning this thing, and He smiteth Israel,
8 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.
and David saith unto God, 'I have sinned exceedingly, in that I have done this thing; and now, cause to pass away, I pray Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant, for I have acted very foolishly.'
9 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Gada i ko Davida kaula, i mai la,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Gad, seer of David, saying:
10 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.
'Go, and thou hast spoken unto David, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Three — I am stretching out unto thee; choose for thee one of these, and I do [it] to thee.'
11 A hele mai la o Gada, i mai la ia ia, Eia ka Iehova e olelo mai nei, e koho oe nou,
And Gad cometh in unto David, and saith to him, 'Thus said Jehovah, Take for thee —
12 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.
either for three years — famine, or three months to be consumed from the face of thine adversaries, even the sword of thine enemies to overtake, or three days the sword of Jehovah, even pestilence in the land, and a messenger of Jehovah destroying in all the border of Israel; and now, see; what word do I return to Him who is sending me?'
13 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.
And David saith unto Gad, 'I am greatly distressed, let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah, for very many [are] His mercies, and into the hand of man let me not fall.'
14 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.
And Jehovah giveth a pestilence in Israel, and there fall of Israel seventy thousand men,
15 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.
and God sendeth a messenger to Jerusalem to destroy it, and as he is destroying Jehovah hath seen, and is comforted concerning the evil, and saith to the messenger who [is] destroying, 'Enough, now, cease thy hand.' And the messenger of Jehovah is standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite,
16 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.
and David lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the messenger of Jehovah standing between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem, and David falleth, and the elders, covered with sackcloth, on their faces.
17 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.
And David saith unto God, 'Did not I — I say to number the people? Yea, I it [is] who have sinned, and done great evil: and these, the flock, what did they? O Jehovah, my God, let, I pray Thee, Thy hand be on me, and on the house of my father, and not on Thy people — to be plagued.'
18 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.
And the messenger of Jehovah spake unto Gad, saying for David, 'Surely David doth go up to raise an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.'
19 Pii aku la o Davida no ka olelo ana a Gada, ana i olelo ai ma ka inoa o Iehova.
And David goeth up by the word of Gad, that he spake in the name of Jehovah.
20 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.
And Ornan turneth back, and seeth the messenger, and his four sons [are] with him, hiding themselves, and Ornan is threshing wheat.
21 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.
And David cometh in unto Ornan, and Ornan looketh attentively, and seeth David, and goeth out from the threshing-floor, and boweth himself to David — face to the earth.
22 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.
And David saith unto Ornan, 'Give to me the place of the threshing-floor, and I build in it an altar to Jehovah; for full silver give it to me, and the plague is restrained from the people.'
23 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.
And Ornan saith unto David, 'Take to thee — and my lord the king doth that which is good in his eyes: see, I have given the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for a present; the whole I have given.'
24 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.
And king David saith to Ornan, 'Nay, for I surely buy for full silver; for I do not lift up that which is thine to Jehovah, so as to offer a burnt-offering without cost.'
25 A uku aku o Davida ia Orenana i eono haneri sekela gula ma ke kaupaona ana, no ia wahi.
And David giveth to Ornan for the place shekels of gold [in] weight six hundred;
26 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.
and David buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and offereth burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and calleth unto Jehovah, and He answereth him with fire from the heavens on the altar of the burnt-offering.
27 Kauoha mai la o Iehova i ka anela; a hoihoi ae la ia i ka pahikaua maloko o kona wahi.
And Jehovah saith to the messenger, and he turneth back his sword unto its sheath.
28 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.
At that time when David seeth that Jehovah hath answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificeth there;
29 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.
and the tabernacle of Jehovah that Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt-offering, [are] at that time in a high place, in Gibeon;
30 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.
and David is not able to go before it to seek God, for he hath been afraid because of the sword of the messenger of Jehovah.
