1 Whakapapa 21
1 Na ka tu a Hatana hei hoariri mo Iharaira, a ka whakakiki a Rawiri ki te tatau i a Iharaira.
Now Satan, designing evil against Israel, put into David's mind the impulse to take the number of Israel.
2 Na ka ki a Rawiri ki a Ioapa ratou ko nga rangatira o te iwi, Tikina taua a Iharaira, o Peerehepa atu a tae noa ki Rana, ka kawe mai ai i to ratou tokomaha ki ahau, kia mohio ai ahau.
And David said to Joab and the captains of the people, Now let all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, be numbered; and give me word so that I may be certain of their number.
3 Ano ra ko Ioapa, Ma Ihowa e mea tana iwi kia rau noa atu i a ratou e noho nei, otiia, e toku ariki, e te kingi, ehara ianei ratou katoa i te pononga na toku ariki? He aha ra tenei i whaia ai e toku ariki? he aha i waiho ai hei take he mo Iharaira?
And Joab said, May the Lord make his people a hundred times more in number than they are; but, my lord king, are they not all my lord's servants? why would my lord have this done? why will he become a cause of sin to Israel?
4 Otiia kaha tonu ta te kingi kupu i ta Ioapa. Heoi ka turia atu e Ioapa, haereerea ana e ia a Iharaira katoa; kua tae ki Hiruharama.
But the king's word was stronger than Joab's. So Joab went out and went through all Israel and came to Jerusalem.
5 Na ka homai e Ioapa te tokomaha o te iwi i taua ki a Rawiri. Na a Iharaira katoa, he mano nga mano me nga mano kotahi rau, he hunga unu hoari; na a Hura, e wha rau e whitu tekau mano nga tangata unu hoari.
And Joab gave David the number of all the people; all the men of Israel, able to take up arms, were one million, one hundred thousand men; and those of Judah were four hundred and seventy thousand men, able to take up arms.
6 Ko Riwai ia raua ko Pineamine, kihai i taua e ia i roto i a ratou; he mea whakarihariha hoki ki a Ioapa te kupu a te kingi.
But Levi and Benjamin were not numbered among them, for Joab was disgusted with the king's order.
7 Na ka riri te Atua ki tenei mea; a patua ana a Iharaira e ia.
And God was not pleased with this thing; so he sent punishment on Israel.
8 Na ka mea a Rawiri ki te Atua, Nui atu toku hara i ahau i mea i tenei mea: na, tena, kia whakarerea noatia iho te he o tau pononga, nui atu hoki toku kuware.
Then David said to God, Great has been my sin in doing this; but now, be pleased to take away the sin of your servant, for I have done very foolishly.
9 Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki ta Rawiri matakite, ki a Kara; i ki ia,
Then the word of the Lord came to Gad, David's seer, saying,
10 Haere, ki atu ki a Rawiri, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, E toru enei mea ka whakaaria atu nei e ahau ki a koe, whiriwhiria tetahi o enei mau, a ka meatia e ahau ki a koe.
Go and say to David, The Lord says, Three things are offered to you: say which of them you will have, so that I may do it to you.
11 Heoi, ko te taenga o Kara ki a Rawiri, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Whiriwhiria mau,
So Gad came to David and said to him, The Lord says, Take whichever you will:
12 Kia toru ranei nga tau matekai; kia toru ranei nga marama e whakangaromia ai koe i te aroaro o ou hoariri, me te hoari a ou hoa whawhai e hopu ana i a koe? kia toru ranei nga ra o te hoari a Ihowa, ara o te mate uruta ki te whenua, me te anahera a Ihowa e whakangaro ana, i nga rohe katoa o Iharaira. Na whakaaroa te kupu e whakahokia e ahau ki toku kaitono mai.
Three years when there will not be enough food; or three months of war, when you will go in flight before your haters, being in great danger of the sword; or three days of the sword of the Lord, disease in the land, and the angel of the Lord taking destruction through all the land of Israel. Now give thought to the answer I am to take back to him who sent me.
13 Ano ra ko Rawiri ki a Kara, He noa iho oku whakaaro; na kia taka ahau ki te ringa o Ihowa, he nui hoki ana mahi aroha; kaua hoki ahau e taka ki te ringa tangata.
And David said to Gad, This is a hard decision for me to make: let me come into the hands of the Lord, for great are his mercies: let me not come into the hands of men.
14 Heoi whakapangia ana e Ihowa he mate uruta ki a Iharaira: a hinga iho o Iharaira e whitu tekau mano tangata.
So the Lord sent disease on Israel, causing the death of seventy thousand men.
15 I tonoa ano e te Atua he anahera ki Hiruharama whakangaro ai; a ia a ia e mea ana ki te whakangaro, ka titiro a Ihowa, na ka puta ke to Ihowa whakaaro mo te kino, a ka mea ki te anahera whakangaro, Kua nui: kati tou ringa. Na tu ana te anahera a Ihowa i te patunga witi a Oronana Iepuhi.
And God sent an angel to Jerusalem for its destruction: and when he was about to do so, the Lord saw, and had regret for the evil, and said to the angel of destruction, It is enough; do no more. Now the angel of the Lord was by the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 Na ka ara nga kanohi o Rawiri, ka kite i te anahera a Ihowa e tu ana i te takiwa o te whenua, o te rangi, me tana hoari, unu rawa, i tona ringa, e totoro ana ki runga i Hiruharama. Katahi ka tapapa a Rawiri ratou ko nga kaumatua, he kakahu tarat ara te hipoki.
And David, lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord there between earth and heaven, with an uncovered sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the responsible men, clothed in haircloth, went down on their faces.
17 Ka mea a Rawiri ki te Atua, He teka ianei naku i ki kia taua te iwi? Ko ahau tenei te mea i hara, i mahi nei i te he; ko enei hipi ia, i aha ratou? E Ihowa, e toku Atua, kia pa ra tou ringa ki ahau, ki te whare ano o toku papa; kauaka ia ki tau iwi, hei whiu mo ratou.
And David said to God, Was it not I who gave the order for the people to be numbered? It is I who have done the sin and the great wrong; but these are only sheep; what have they done? let your hand, O Lord God, be lifted up against me and against my family, but not against your people to send disease on them.
18 Katahi ka korero te anahera a Ihowa ki a Kara kia mea ia ki a Rawiri, kia haere a Rawiri ki runga, ki te whakaara i tetahi aata ki a Ihowa ki te patunga witi a Oronana Iepuhi.
Then the angel of the Lord gave orders to Gad to say to David that he was to go and put up an altar to the Lord on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 Na haere ana a Rawiri i ta Kara korero i korero ai ia i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa.
And David went up, as Gad had said in the name of the Lord.
20 Na ka tahuri ake a Oronana, ka kite i te anahera; a piri ana ia, ratou ko ana tama tokowha. Na i te patu witi a Oronana.
And Ornan, turning back, saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him went to a secret place. Now Ornan was crushing his grain.
21 Na, i a Rawiri e haere ana ki a Oronana, ka titiro a Oronana a ka kite i a Rawiri, na puta ana ia i te patunga witi, piko ana ki a Rawiri, tapapa ana ki te whenua.
And when David came, Ornan, looking, saw him, and came out from the grain-floor and went down on his face to the earth before him.
22 Katahi ka mea a Rawiri ki a Oronana, Homai ki ahau te wahi i tenei patunga witi, kia hanga ai e ahau he aata ki a Ihowa; kia tino rite te utu ka homai ai e koe ki ahau, kia mutu ai te whiunga o te iwi.
Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place where this grain-floor is, so that I may put up an altar here to the Lord: let me have it for its full price; so that this disease may be stopped among the people.
23 Na ka mea a Oronana ki a Rawiri, Me tango mau, a ma toku ariki, ma te kingi e mea te mea e pai ana ki tana titiro; nana, ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe nga kau hei tahunga tinana, me nga patu witi hei wahie, me te witi ano hei whakahere totokore; ka h oatu katoa e ahau.
And Ornan said to David, Take it, and let my lord the king do what seems right to him. See, I give you the oxen for burned offerings and the grain-cleaning instruments for fire-wood, and the grain for the meal offering; I give it all.
24 Na ka mea a Kingi Rawiri ki a Oronana, Kahore; engari ka hokona e ahau kia rite ano nga utu: e kore hoki ahau e tango i tau ma Ihowa, e kore hoki e whakaeke i nga mea kihai i utua hei tahunga tinana.
And King David said to Ornan, No; I will certainly give you the full price for it, because I will not take for the Lord what is yours, or give a burned offering without payment.
25 Heoi e ono rau nga hekere koura, he mea pauna, i hoatu e Rawiri ki a Oronana mo taua wahi.
So David gave Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
26 A hanga ana e Rawiri he aata ki reira ma Ihowa, whakaekea ana he tahunga tinana, he whakahere mo te pai, a karanga ana ki a Ihowa. Na ka whakahokia tana i te rangi, he ahi ki runga ki te aata tahunga tinana.
And David put up an altar there to the Lord, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings with prayers to the Lord; and he gave him an answer from heaven, sending fire on the altar of burned offering.
27 Na ka korero a Ihowa ki te anahera, a whakahokia ana e ia tana hoari ki tona takotoranga.
Then the Lord gave orders to the angel, and he put back his sword into its cover.
28 I taua wa ano, i te kitenga o Rawiri kua whakarongo a Ihowa ki a ia i te patunga witi a Oronana Iephui, ka mea patunga tapu ia ki reira.
At that time, when David saw that the Lord had given him an answer on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he made an offering there.
29 Ko te tapenakara hoki o Ihowa i hanga nei e Mohi ki te koraha, me te aata tahunga tinana, i te wahi tiketike i Kipeono i taua wa.
For the House of the Lord, which Moses had made in the waste land, and the altar of burned offerings, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
30 Kihai ia a Rawiri i ahei te haere ki mua o taua aata ki te rapu i ta te Atua; i wehi hoki ia i te hoari a te anahera a Ihowa.
But David was not able to go before it to get directions from the Lord, so great was his fear of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
