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 tempted 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 rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba 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 answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times more than they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of 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.
Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout 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 sum of the number of the people to David. And all they of Israel were a million and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was 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 counted not 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 with this thing; therefore 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, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do 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 the LORD 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 tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it to 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?
So Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee
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’ famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while the sword of thy enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the land of Israel. Now therefore consider thyself 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 now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: 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.
So the LORD sent 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 beheld, and he repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thy hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor 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 the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were 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, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father’s house; but not on thy people, that they should be afflicted.
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.
Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and build an altar to the LORD in the threshingfloor 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 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 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 as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, 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.”
Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar in it to the LORD: thou shalt grant it to me for the full price: that the plague may be restrained 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 eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; 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, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.
25 Na el sang ipin gold onfoko nu sel Araunah, molin acn in kulkul wheat sac.
So David gave to Ornan for the 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 burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven 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 the LORD commanded 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 the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor 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.
For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season 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 enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
