1And the anger of the Lord was again kindled against Israel, and stirred up David among them, saying: Go, number Israel and Juda.
1Israel nuiah Angraeng palungphuihaih hmai baktiah angqongh; to pongah Setan mah David khaeah, Caeh loe, Israel hoi Judah kaminawk to kroek ah, tiah pahruek.
2And the king said to Joab the general of his army: Go through all the tribes of Israel from Dan to Bersabee, and number ye the people that I may know the number of them.
2To pongah siangpahrang mah Joab hoi anih taengah kaom misatuh angraengnawk khaeah, Kami nazetto maw oh o, tiah ka panoek thai hanah, caeh loe, Dan hoi Beersheba khoek to Israel acaengnawk to kroek boih ah, tiah a naa.
3And Joab said to the king: The Lord thy God increase thy people, and make them as many more as they are now, and again multiply them a hundredfold in the sight of my lord the king: but what meaneth my lord the king by this kind of thing?
3Toe Joab mah siangpahrang khaeah, Na Angraeng Sithaw mah na misatuh kaminawk to alet cumvai khoek to pungsak nasoe; to hmuen to ka Angraeng siangpahrang mah hnu nasoe; toe tipongah ka angraeng siangpahrang mah to baktih hmuen sak hanah na koeh loe? tiah a naa.
4But the king’s words prevailed over the words of Joab, and of the captains of the army: and Joab, and the captains of the soldiers went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
4Toe siangpahrang ih lok mah Joab hoi misatuh angraengnawk ih lok to pazawk. To pongah Joab hoi misatuh angraengnawk loe Israel kaminawk kroek hanah anih hmaa hoiah caeh o.
5And when they had passed the Jordan, they came to Aroer to the right side of the city, which is in the vale of Gad.
5Jordan vapui angkat o pacoengah, Gad azawn thungah kaom, Aroer vangpui ni angyae bang ih, Jazer vangpui taengah atai o;
6And by Jazer they passed into Galaad, and to the lower land of Hodsi, and they came into the woodlands of Dan. And going about by Sidon,
6Gilead prae hoi Tahtim Hodshi, tiah kawk ih ohhaih ahmuen kangtha prae ah caeh o tathuk; to ahmuen hoiah Daan-Jaan ah caeh o moe, Sidon prae bangah caeh o poe,
7They passed near the walls of Tyre, and all the land of the Hevite, and the Chanaanite, and they came to the south of Juda into Bersabee:
7to pacoengah Tura misa abuephaih im ah caeh o tathuk moe, Hiv kaminawk, Kanaan kaminawk khaeah doeh caeh o; hnukkhuem koekah Judah prae aloih bangah kaom Beersheba vangpui ah caeh o.
8And having gone through the whole land, after nine months and twenty days, they came to Jerusalem.
8Prae thung boih ah caeh o moe, khrah takawtto boenghaih, ni pumphaeto naah Jerusalem to phak o.
9And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people to the king, and there were found of Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword: and of Juda five hundred thousand fighting men.
9Joab mah siangpahrang khaeah, kaminawk nazetto maw oh, tiah thuih pae; Israel prae thungah sumsen hoi misatuh thaih kami, sang cumvai tazetto oh o moe, Judah prae thungah sang cumvai pangato oh o.
10But David’s heart struck him, after the people were numbered: and David said to the Lord: I have sinned very much in what I have done: but I pray thee, O Lord, to take away the iniquity of thy servant, because I have done exceeding foolishly.
10David loe misatuh thaih kami to kroek pacoengah, dawnpakhuem moe, Angraeng khaeah, Kai loe paroeai hmuen sakpazae boeh; Aw Angraeng, vaihi na tamna ih zaehaih takhoe ving hanah, tahmenhaih kang hnik; paroeai amthuhaih hoiah hmuen to ka sak moeng boeh, tiah a naa.
11And David arose in the morning, and the word of the Lord came to Gad the prophet and the seer of David, saying:
11David mah khawnbang khawnthaw angthawk naah, David ih tahmaa, Gad khaeah Angraeng ih lok to angzoh,
12Go, and say to David: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee thy choice of three things, choose one of them which thou wilt, that I may do it to thee.
12caeh loe David khaeah, Angraeng mah, Qoih hanah hmuen thumto kang paek; na nuiah ka sak han ih hmuen thumto thungah maeto qoi ah, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
13And when Gad was come to David, he told him, saying: Either seven years of famine shall come to thee in thy land: or thou shalt flee three months before thy adversaries, and they shall pursue thee: or for three days there shall be a pestilence in thy land. Now therefore deliberate, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
13To pongah Gad loe David khaeah caeh moe, anih khaeah, Na prae thungah saning sarihto thung khokhaahaih maw na koeh? To tih ai boeh loe saning thumto thung na misanawk mah patom moe cawnh? To tih ai boeh loe na prae thungah ni thumto thung kasae nathaih phaksak? Kai patoehkung khaeah kawbangmaw ka thuih pae han, tiah poek het ah loe, na thui ah, tiah a naa.
14And David said to Gad: I am in a great strait: but it is better that I should fall into the hands of the Lord (for his mercies are many) than into the hands of men.
14David mah Gad khaeah, Paroeai palung ka set; anih tahmenhaih loe, len parai pongah, Angraeng ih ban ah kam timh o halat han boeh; minawk ban thungah amtimsak hmah, tiah a naa.
15And the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel, from the morning unto the time appointed, and there died of the people from Dan to Bersabee seventy thousand men.
15To pongah akhawnbang hoi atue khaehhaih ni karoek to, Angraeng mah, Israel kaminawk nuiah kasae nathaih to phaksak; Daan hoi Beersheba karoek to kami sang quisarihto duek o.
16And when the angel of the Lord had stretched out his hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord had pity on the affliction, and said to the angel that slew the people: It is enough: now hold thy hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite.
16Jerusalem vangpui phraek hanah, a nuiah van kami mah ban phok naah, to patangkhanghaih pongah, Angraeng to dawnpakhuem moe, kami hum van kami khaeah, Khawt boeh! Na ban pakhuem duem lai ah! tiah a naa. To naah Angraeng ih van kami loe Jebus acaeng Araunah ih cang atithaih ahmuen ah oh.
17And David said to the Lord, when he saw the angel striking the people: It is I; I am he that have sinned, I have done wickedly: these that are the sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I beseech thee, be turned against me, and against my father’s house.
17Kami hum van kami to David mah hnuk naah, Angraeng khaeah, Khenah, Kai loe ka zae boeh, amthuhaih hoiah zaehaih ka sak moeng boeh; toe hae tuunawk loe timaw sakpazaehaih tawnh o? Na ban loe kaimah hoi kampa ih imthung takoh nuiah krah nasoe, tiah a naa.
18And Gad came to David that day, and said: Go up, and build an altar to the Lord in the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite.
18To na niah Gad mah David khaeah caeh moe, anih khaeah, Caeh loe, Jebus acaeng Araunah ih cang atithaih ahmuen ah, Angraeng han hmaicam maeto sah ah, tiah a naa.
19And David went up according to the word of Gad which the Lord had commanded him.
19To pongah Angraeng mah Gad khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, David loe caeh tahang.
20And Areuna looked, and saw the king and his servants coming towards him:
20Araunah mah a taengah angzo siangpahrang hoi a tamnanawk to hnuk naah, Caeh moe, siangpahrang hmaa ah long ah akuep.
21An going out he worshipped the king, bowing with his face to the earth, and said: Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? Arid David said to him: To buy the thrashingfloor of thee, and build an altar to the Lord, that the plague, which rageth among the people, may cease.
21Araunah mah, Tipongah ka Angraeng siangpahrang loe a tamna khaeah angzoh loe? tiah a naa. David mah, Kaminawk khae hoi nathaih kasae anghmat boih thai hanah, Angraeng han hmaicam sak ka koeh pongah, nang ih cang atithaih ahmuen qan hanah kang zoh, tiah a naa.
22And Areuna said to David: Let my lord the king take, and offer, as it seemeth good to him: thou hast here oxen for a holocaust, and the wain, and the yokes of the oxen for wood.
22Araunah mah David khaeah, Ka angraeng siangpahrang mah a koeh ih hmuen to la nasoe loe, paek nasoe; khenah, angbawnhaih sak hanah maitaw taenawk doeh hae ah oh; angbawnhaih sak hanah cang atithaih thing hoi maitaw hmai pakhaem naah patoh ih thingnawk doeh oh.
23All these things Areuna as a king gave to the king: and Areuna said to the king: The Lord thy God receive thy vow.
23Aw siangpahrang, Araunah mah siangpahrang hanah hae hmuennawk hae paek boih boeh, tiah a naa. Araunah mah, Na Angraeng Sithaw mah talawk nasoe, tiah a naa.
24And the king answered him, and said: Nay, but I will buy it of thee at a price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God holocausts free cost. So David bought the floor, and the oxen, for fifty sicles of silver:
24Toe siangpahrang mah Araunah khaeah, To tiah na ai ni; atho paek han ih ni ka thuih; atho paek ai ah hak ih hmuen hoiah ka Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, angbawnhaih ka sah mak ai, tiah a naa. To pongah cang atithaih ahmuen hoi maitaw ataenawk to David mah phoisa shekel quipangato hoiah qanh.
25And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered holocausts and peace offerings: and the Lord became merciful to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
25David mah to ahmuen ah hmaicam to sak moe, hmai angbawnhaih hoi angdaeh angbawnhaih to sak. To naah Angraeng mah prae zuengah lawkthuihaih to pathim pae pongah, Israel nui ih kasae nathaih to anghmat.
