Sie Chronicle 21
1 Satan el tuh lungse elan aklokoalokye mwet Israel, na pa el oru tuh David elan nunkeak elan oakla pisen mwet uh.
And the devil stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
2 David el sapkin nu sel Joab ac mwet pwapa lal saya, “Kowos fahla ac sasla nu in facl Israel nufon, mutawauk e epang me oatula safla eir, ac oakla pisen mwet uh. Nga lungse etu lah elos mwet ekasr nufon.”
And king David said to Joab and to the captains of the forces, Go, number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me [the account], and I shall know their number.
3 Na Joab el fahk, “Finsrak LEUM GOD Elan oru tuh mwet Israel in puseni pacl siofok liki pisalos misenge! Leum Fulat, elos nukewa mwet kulansap lom. Na efu ku kom lungsum in oru ma se inge, ac sang mwatan mutunfacl se inge nufon?”
And Joab said, May the Lord add to his people, a hundred-fold as many as they [are], and [let] the eyes of my lord the king see [it]: all [are] the servants of my lord. Why does my lord seek this thing? [do it not], lest it become a sin to Israel.
4 Tusruktu, nunak lal tokosra ku lukel Joab, pwanang Joab el illa ac fahsr sasla in facl Israel nufon, na el folok nu Jerusalem.
Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab went out and passed through all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
5 El fahkak nu sel Tokosra David pisen mukul nukewa ma fal in wi mweun: oasr sie million siofok tausin mwet Israel, ac mwet angfoko itngoul tausin mwet Judah.
And Joab gave the number of the mustering of the people to David: and all Israel was a million and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and the sons of Juda [were] four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.
6 Ke sripen Joab el tiana insese nu ke sap se lal tokosra inge, el tiana oakla mwet in sruf lal Levi ac Benjamin.
But he numbered not Levi and Benjamin amongst them; for the word of the king was painful to Joab.
7 God El tia insewowo ke ma orek inge, na pa El sang kai upa nu fin mwet Israel.
And [there was] evil in the sight of the Lord respecting this thing; and he struck Israel.
8 Ac David el fahk nu sin God, “Nga orala ma koluk na yohk se. Nunak munas, sisla koluk luk. Ma na lalfon se pa nga orala.”
And David said to God, I have sinned exceedingly, in that I have done this thing: and now, I pray you, remove the sin of your servant; for I have been exceedingly foolish.
9 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Gad, mwet palu lal David,
And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer, saying,
10 “Fahla fahk nu sel David lah nga fah sang nu sel ke mwe sulela tolu, ac el enenu in sulela sie. Nga ac fah oru ma se ma el ac sulela an.”
Go and speak to David, saying, Thus says the Lord, I bring three things upon you: choose one of them for yourself, and I will do it to you.
11 Gad el som ac fahk nu sel David ma LEUM GOD El fahk, na el siyuk sel, “Ma ya kac kom lungse uh?
And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus says the Lord, Choose for yourself,
12 In oasr sracl fin facl sum ke yac tolu? Ku kom in kaing liki un mwet mweun lun mwet lokoalok lom ke malem tolu? Ku LEUM GOD Elan mweuni kom ke cutlass natul ac supwama mas upa, ac sie lipufan in use misa nu fin acn Israel nufon ke len tolu? Mea nga ac fahk in topuk LEUM GOD?”
either three years of famine, or that you should flee three months from the face of your enemies, and the sword of your enemies [shall be employed] to destroy you, or that the sword of the Lord and pestilence [should be] three days in the land, and the angel of the Lord [shall be] destroying in all the inheritance of Israel. And now consider what I shall answer to him that sent the message.
13 Na David el fahk nu sel Gad, “Nga arulana fohsak ac nikinyula! Tusruktu nga tia lungse ngan kalyeiyuk sin mwet uh. Lela in LEUM GOD na pa orek kaiyuk nu sesr, tuh El pakoten.”
And David said to Gad, They are very hard for me, even [all] the three: let me fall now into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies [are] very abundant, and let me not fall by any means into the hands of man.
14 Na LEUM GOD El supwala mas na upa se nu fin mwet Israel, ac mwet itngoul tausin selos misa.
So the Lord brought pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
15 Na El supwala sie lipufan in kunausla acn Jerusalem, tusruktu El sifil ekulla nunak lal ac fahk nu sin lipufan sac, “Tui! Tari fal!” Lipufan sac el tuyak ke acn in kulkul wheat lal Araunah, mwet Jebus.
And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the Lord saw, and repented for the evil, and said to the angel that was destroying, Let it suffice you; withhold your hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.
16 David el liye lipufan sac ke el tu yen engyeng uh ac el sruok cutlass natul inpaol ac akola in kunausla acn Jerusalem. David ac mwet kol lun mwet Israel elos nokomang nuknuk in eoksra, ac elos srimi nwe ten ac mutalos pusral fin fohk uh.
And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord, standing between the earth and the heaven, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem: and David and the elders clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
17 Ac David el pre ac fahk, “O God, nga pa oru ma koluk se inge. Nga pa sapkin in oaoala mwet uh. Mea mwet inge orala? LEUM GOD luk, fal kom in kaiyu ac sou luk, ac fuhlela mwet lom inge.”
And David said to God, [Was it] not I [that] gave orders to number the people? and I am the guilty one; I have greatly sinned: but these sheep, what have they done? O Lord God, let your hand be upon me, and upon my father's house, and not on your people for destruction, O Lord!
18 Na lipufan lun LEUM GOD el fahk nu sel Gad elan sapkin nu sel David tuh elan som ac etoak sie loang in acn in kulkul wheat lal Araunah.
And the angel of the Lord told Gad to tell David, that he should go up to erect and altar to the Lord, in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.
19 David el akos sap lun LEUM GOD ac som, oana ma Gad el tuh fahk nu sel.
And David went up according to the word of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the Lord.
20 Ke nien kulkul wheat ah, Araunah ac wen akosr natul elos muta kulkul wheat. Ke elos liye lipufan sac, wen ekasr ah kaing ac wikla.
And Orna turned and saw the king; and he hid himself and his four sons with him. Now Orna was threshing wheat.
21 Ke pacl se Araunah el liyalak Tokosra David ke el fahsru ac apkuranme, el som liki nien kulkul wheat uh, ac srimi nwe ten ac mutal pusral infohk uh.
And David came to Orna; and Orna came forth from the threshing floor, and did obeisance to David with his face to the ground.
22 David el fahk nu sel, “Kukakunma nien kulkul wheat lom uh, tuh nga in etoak sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD, in tulokinya mas upa se orek inge. Nga lungse molela nufon.”
And David said to Orna, Give me your place of the threshing floor, and I will build upon it an altar to the Lord: give it me for its worth in money, and the plague shall cease from [amongst] the people.
23 Ac Araunah el fahk, “O Tokosra, eis na lom ac orekmakin nu ke enenu lom. Cow mukul pa inge, kom ku in orek mwe kisa firir kac fin loang an, ac ipin sak ke acn in kulkul wheat uh ku in orekmakinyuk mwe etong, oayapa wheat tuh in mwe sang lom. Ma inge kewa nga sot nu sum.”
And Orna said to David, Take it to yourself, and let my lord the king do what is right in his eyes: see, I have given the calves for a whole burnt offering, and the plough for wood, and the corn for a meat-offering; I have given all.
24 Tusruktu tokosra el topuk, “Mo, nga ac moli nufon ma inge. Nga ac tia kisakin nu sin LEUM GOD ma su ma lom, ma tuku nu sik ke wangin molo.”
And king David said to Orna, Nay; for I will surely buy it for its worth in money: for I will not take your property for the Lord, to offer a whole burnt offering to the Lord without cost [to myself].
25 Na el sang ipin gold onfoko nu sel Araunah, molin acn in kulkul wheat sac.
And David gave to Orna for his place six hundred shekels of gold [by] weight.
26 David el etoak sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD we, ac kisakin mwe kisa firir, ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo. El pre, ac LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal, ac supweya e lucng me in akosak mwe kisa fin loang uh.
And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings: and he cried to the Lord, and he answered him by fire out of heaven on the altar of whole burnt offerings, and [it] consumed the whole burnt offering.
27 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin lipufan sac tuh elan filiya cutlass natul ah, ac lipufan sac akos.
And the Lord spoke to the angel; and he put up the sword into its sheath.
28 Ke David el liye ma inge el akilen lah LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal, na el oru mwe kisa lal fin loang uh ke acn in kulkul wheat lal Araunah.
At that time when David saw that the Lord answered him in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite, he also sacrificed there.
29 Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD su Moses el tuh orala yen mwesis, oayapa loang se mwe kisa uh orek fac, srakna oan ke nien alu in acn Gibeon in pacl se inge.
And the tabernacle of the Lord which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of whole burnt offerings, [were] at that time in the high place at Gabaon.
30 Tusruktu David el tia ku in som alu nu sin God we, mweyen el sangeng ke cutlass se nutin lipufan lun LEUM GOD.
And David could not go before it to enquire of God; for he hasted not because of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
