1 Whakapapa 21
1 Na ka tu a Hatana hei hoariri mo Iharaira, a ka whakakiki a Rawiri ki te tatau i a Iharaira.
And the devil stood up against Israel, and moved David to number 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 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 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 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 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.
Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab went out and passed 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 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 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 he numbered not Levi and Benjamin among them; for the word of the king was painful to Joab.
7 Na ka riri te Atua ki tenei mea; a patua ana a Iharaira e ia.
And [there was] evil in the sight of the Lord respecting this thing; and he struck 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.
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 ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki ta Rawiri matakite, ki a Kara; i ki ia,
And the Lord spoke to Gad the 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 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 Heoi, ko te taenga o Kara ki a Rawiri, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Whiriwhiria mau,
And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus says the Lord, Choose for yourself,
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.
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 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, 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 Heoi whakapangia ana e Ihowa he mate uruta ki a Iharaira: a hinga iho o Iharaira e whitu tekau mano tangata.
So the Lord brought pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel 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 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 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 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 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 [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 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.
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 Na haere ana a Rawiri i ta Kara korero i korero ai ia i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa.
And David went up according to the word of Gad, which he spoke 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 Orna turned and saw the king; and he hid himself and his four sons with him. Now Orna was threshing wheat.
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 David came to Orna; and Orna came forth from the threshing floor, and did obeisance to David with his face to the ground.
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.
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 [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 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 plow for wood, and the corn for a meat-offering; I have given 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 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 Heoi e ono rau nga hekere koura, he mea pauna, i hoatu e Rawiri ki a Oronana mo taua wahi.
And David gave to Orna for his place six hundred shekels of gold [by] weight.
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 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 Na ka korero a Ihowa ki te anahera, a whakahokia ana e ia tana hoari ki tona takotoranga.
And the Lord spoke to the angel; and he put up the sword into its sheath.
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 answered him in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite, he also sacrificed 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.
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 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.
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.
