Luo Samuel 24
1 Sie pac pacl ah, LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sin mwet Israel, ac El oru tuh David elan aklokoalokyalos. LEUM GOD el fahk nu sel, “Fahla oakla mwet Israel ac mwet Judah.”
Again the LORD’s anger burnt against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, “Go, count Israel and Judah.”
2 Na David el sapkin nu sel Joab, captain lun un mwet mweun lal, “Fahla, us mwet pwapa lom ac fahsr sasla acn lun sruf nukewa in facl Israel, mutawauk e epang me oatula safla eir, ac oakla pisen mwet uh. Nga lungse etu lah elos mwet ekasr nufon.”
The king said to Joab the captain of the army, who was with him, “Now go back and forth through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the sum of the people.”
3 A Joab el topuk nu sin tokosra, “Leum fulat, lela LEUM GOD lom Elan oru mwet Israel in pus pacl siofok liki pisalos misenge, ac lela tuh kom in moul ac liye na ke el oru an. Tusruktu, efu ku kom ke in oekyuk elos?”
Joab said to the king, “Now may the LORD your God add to the people, however many they may be, one hundred times; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king delight in this thing?”
4 Na tokosra el sap Joab ac mwet pwapa lal in akos na ma sap lal. Ac elos illa liki ye mutal ac som in oek mwet Israel.
Notwithstanding, the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the captains of the army. Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel.
5 Elos tupalla Infacl Jordan ac tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos eir in Aroer, siti se infulwen infahlfal se in acn Gad. Na elos sifil fahla liki acn we ac ut epang lac som nu Jazer,
They passed over the Jordan and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and to Jazer;
6 oayapa nu Gilead ac nu Kadesh, in acn lun mwet Hit. Na elos som nu Dan, ac tok elos som liki Dan, ut roto lac nu Sidon.
then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; and they came to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon,
7 Na elos ut eir lac nu Tyre, sie siti oasr kalkal rauneak, ac tafwela pac nu in siti nukewa lun mwet Hiv ac mwet Canaan, ac safla na e Beersheba, su oan eir in acn Judah.
and came to the stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites; and they went out to the south of Judah, at Beersheba.
8 Ouinge, elos fufahsryesr in mutunfacl sac nufon, ac tukun malem eu ac len longoul elos folokla nu Jerusalem.
So when they had gone back and forth through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
9 Elos akkalemye nu sin tokosra pisen mukul nukewa su ku in wi mweun, tuh na oasr oalfoko tausin mwet Israel ac lumfoko tausin mwet Judah.
Joab gave up the sum of the counting of the people to the king; and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
10 Ke David el orala oaoa sac tari, el luman oela kac, na el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Nga orala ma koluk na yohk se. Nunak munas, sisla koluk luk. Ma na lalfon se pa nga orala.”
David’s heart struck him after he had counted the people. David said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in that which I have done. But now, the LORD, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.”
11 Ke David el tukakek ke lotutang, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Gad, mwet palu lal David,
When David rose up in the morning, the LORD’s word came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,
12 “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, ‘The LORD says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”
13 Na Gad el som nu yorol David ac fahk oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk, na el siyuk sel, “Ma ya kac kom lungse uh? In oasr sracl fin facl sum ke yac tolu, ku kom in kaing liki mwet lokoalok lom ke malem tolu, ku in oasr mas upa se rauni facl sum ke len tolu? Inge nunku akwoye, na kom fah fahk topuk lom an nu sik, nga in folokla fahk nu sin LEUM GOD.”
So Gad came to David, and told him, saying, “Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ pestilence in your land? Now answer, and consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.”
14 Na David el fahk, “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.”
David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let us fall now into the LORD’s hand, for his mercies are great. Let me not fall into man’s hand.”
15 Ouinge, LEUM GOD El supwala mas na upa se nu fin facl Israel, mutawauk ke lotutang sac nwe ke pacl se El sulela in tui. Mwet Israel itngoul tausin misa, mutawauk ke tafunyen epang me nwe eir.
So the LORD sent a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the appointed time; and seventy thousand men died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba.
16 Ke pacl se lipufan lun LEUM GOD akola in kunausla acn Jerusalem, na LEUM GOD El aolla nunak lal ke kaiyuk se el akola in oru nu sin mwet uh, ac el fahk nu sin lipufan se ma uniya mwet ah, “Tui! Tari fal!” Lipufan sac el muta ke acn in kulkul wheat lal Araunah, mwet Jebus.
When the angel stretched out his hand towards Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” The LORD’s angel was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
17 David el liye lipufan se ma uniya mwet uh, ac el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Nga pa mwet se ma orala ma koluk se inge. Nga pa oasr mwata ke tafongla sac. Mea mwet inge orala? Fal kom in kaiyu ac sou luk uh.”
David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, “Behold, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me, and against my father’s house.”
18 In len sacna, Gad el som nu yorol David ac fahk nu sel, “Utyak nu ke acn in kulkul wheat lal Araunah, ac musaela sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD we.”
Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up, build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
19 David el akos sap lun LEUM GOD, ac el som oana ma Gad el fahk nu sel.
David went up according to the saying of Gad, as the LORD commanded.
20 Araunah el ngeti ac liyal tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal ke elos fahsr in utyak nu yorol. El putati nu infohk uh ye mutal David
Araunah looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on towards him. Then Araunah went out and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
21 ac siyuk, “Leum fulat, efu ku kom tuku?” David el topuk, “Nga tuku in molela acn in kulkul wheat lom uh, ac etoak sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD, in tulokinya mas upa se orek inge.”
Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” David said, “To buy your threshing floor, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”
22 Na Araunah el fahk, “O leum fulat, eis na lom, ac kisakin kutena ma kom lungse nu sin LEUM GOD. Cow mukul pa inge — kom ku in orek mwe kisa firir kac fin loang an, ac srenenu lalos ac ipinsak ke acn in kulkul wheat uh ku in orekmakinyuk mwe etong.”
Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Behold, the cattle for the burnt offering, and the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood.
23 Araunah el sang ma inge nukewa nu sin tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Lela LEUM GOD lom Elan insewowo ke mwe kisa lom.”
All this, O king, does Araunah give to the king.” Araunah said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.”
24 A tokosra el topuk, “Mo. Nga ac moli nu sum ke ma inge. Nga tia ku in sang nu sin LEUM GOD luk mwe kisa ma tuku nu sik ke wangin molo.” Na el molela acn in kulkul wheat sac ac cow mukul uh ke ipin silver lumngaul.
The king said to Araunah, “No, but I will most certainly buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25 Ac el etoak sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD, ac kisakin mwe kisa firir, ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo. Ac LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal, ac mas upa se in acn Israel ah wanginla.
David built an altar to the LORD there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was removed from Israel.
