2 Samuel 24
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He moved David against them, saying: 'Go, number Israel and Judah.'
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 captain of the host that was with him: 'Go now to and fro through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the sum of the people.'
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 unto the king: 'Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever they may be, a hundredfold, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it; but why doth my lord the king delight in this 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.
4Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host 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 they passed over the Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and unto Jazer;
5Jordan vapui angkat o pacoengah, Gad azawn thungah kaom, Aroer vangpui ni angyae bang ih, Jazer vangpui taengah atai o;
6then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and round about to Zidon,
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,
7and 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 Beer-sheba.
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.
8So when they had gone to and fro through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
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 numbering of the people unto the king; and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand 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.
10And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD: 'I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, O LORD, put away, I beseech Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant; for I have done very 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 when David rose up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying:
11David mah khawnbang khawnthaw angthawk naah, David ih tahmaa, Gad khaeah Angraeng ih lok to angzoh,
12'Go and speak unto David: Thus saith the LORD: I lay upon thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto 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.
13So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him: 'Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thy foes while they pursue thee? or shall there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise thee, and consider 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 unto Gad: 'I am in a great strait; let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for His mercies are great; and let me not fall into the hand of man.'
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.
15So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed; and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba 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 stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented Him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people: 'It is enough; now stay thy hand.' And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing-floor of Araunah 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 spoke unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said: 'Lo, I have sinned, and I have done iniquitously; but these sheep, what have they done? let Thy hand, I pray Thee, be 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 that day to David, and said unto him: 'Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshing-floor of Araunah 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 saying of Gad, as the LORD commanded.
19To pongah Angraeng mah Gad khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, David loe caeh tahang.
20And Araunah looked forth, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him; and Araunah went out, and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.
20Araunah mah a taengah angzo siangpahrang hoi a tamnanawk to hnuk naah, Caeh moe, siangpahrang hmaa ah long ah akuep.
21And Araunah said: 'Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant?' And David said: 'To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.'
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 Araunah said unto David: 'Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him; behold the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-instruments and the furniture of the oxen for the 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 this did Araunah the king give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king: 'The LORD thy God accept thee.'
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 said unto Araunah: 'Nay; but I will verily buy it of thee at a price; neither will I offer burnt-offerings unto the LORD my God which cost me nothing.' So David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels 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 unto the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. So the LORD was entreated for 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.
