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 Satan 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 David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
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, Jehovah add to his people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold: are they not all, my lord O king, my lord's servants? why does my lord require this thing? why should he become a trespass 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.
But the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab departed, and went through all Israel, and came [again] 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 sum of the number of the people to David. And all they of Israel were eleven hundred thousand men that drew sword; and of Judah, 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 Levi and Benjamin he did not count among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
7 God El tia insewowo ke ma orek inge, na pa El sang kai upa nu fin mwet Israel.
And God was displeased on account of this thing, and he smote 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 greatly, in that I have done this thing; and now, I beseech thee, put away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
9 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Gad, mwet palu lal David,
And Jehovah spoke to Gad, David's 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 saith Jehovah: I offer thee three [things]; choose one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
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 saith Jehovah:
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?”
Choose thee, either three years of famine, or three months to be destroyed before thine adversaries while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee, or three days the sword of Jehovah and the pestilence in the land, and the angel of Jehovah destroying through all the borders of Israel. And now consider what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
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, I am in a great strait: let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah, for his mercies are very great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.
14 Na LEUM GOD El supwala mas na upa se nu fin mwet Israel, ac mwet itngoul tausin selos misa.
And Jehovah sent a 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, Jehovah beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough; withdraw now thine hand. And the angel of Jehovah stood by the threshing-floor of Ornan 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 Jehovah stand between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. And David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on 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, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned and done evil; but these sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, Jehovah my God, be on me and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be smitten.
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 Jehovah commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up and rear an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 David el akos sap lun LEUM GOD ac som, oana ma Gad el tuh fahk nu sel.
And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he had spoken in the name of Jehovah.
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 Ornan turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan 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 Ornan, and Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself 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 Ornan, Grant me the place of the threshing-floor, that I may build an altar in it to Jehovah: grant it to me for the full money, that the plague may be stayed from 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 Ornan said to David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his sight: see, I give the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-sledges for wood, and the wheat for the oblation; I give it 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 Ornan, No; but I will in any case buy [them] for the full money; for I will not take that which is thine for Jehovah, to offer up a burnt-offering without cost.
25 Na el sang ipin gold onfoko nu sel Araunah, molin acn in kulkul wheat sac.
And David gave to Ornan for the place in shekels of gold the weight of six hundred [shekels].
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 Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon Jehovah; and he answered him from the heavens by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.
27 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin lipufan sac tuh elan filiya cutlass natul ah, ac lipufan sac akos.
And Jehovah spoke to the angel; and he put up his sword again 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 Jehovah had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he 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 Jehovah, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
30 Tusruktu David el tia ku in som alu nu sin God we, mweyen el sangeng ke cutlass se nutin lipufan lun LEUM GOD.
But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Jehovah.
