1Again the LORD’s anger burned against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, “Go, count Israel and Judah.”
1Israel taengah lungoe hamla BOEIPA te a thintoek loh a koei. Te vaengah amih taengah David te a vueh pah tih, “Cet lamtah Israel neh Judah ke tae lah laeh,” a ti nah.
2The 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.”
2Te dongah manghai loh amah taengkah tatthai mangpa Joab te, “Dan lamloh Beersheba duela Israel koca boeih taengah cet laeh. Pilnam te tae lamtah pilnam hlangmi te ka ming eh?,” a ti nah.
3Joab 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?”
3Tedae Joab loh manghai te, “Pilnam te BOEIPA na Pathen loh amah la a thap tih ka boei manghai kah mikhmuh ah amih te a pueh yakhat lam khaw hmu mai saw. Tedae ka boei manghai loh balae tih hebang hno he a ngaih,” a ti.
4Notwithstanding, 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.
4Tedae manghai kah olka loh Joab neh tatthai mangpa rhoek te a hut a tet. Te dongah Joab tah Israel pilnam te soep hamla caem neh mangpa rhoek neh manghai mikhmuh lamkah loh bit uh.
5They 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;
5Jordan a poeng uh tih Gad neh Jazer soklong khui kah khopuei bantang Aroer ah rhaeh uh.
6then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; and they came to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon,
6Te vaengah Gilead neh Tahtimhodshi kho te a paan uh tih Danjaan neh Sidon kaepvai khaw a pha uh.
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 Beersheba.
7Tyre hmuencak, Khivee neh Kanaan khopuei boeih te khaw a pha uh tih Judah Beersheba tuithim la pawk uh.
8So when they had gone back and forth through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
8Kho tom te a hil uh tih hla ko phoeiah hnin kul a thok daengah Jerusalem la pawk.
9Joab 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.
9Pilnam kah hlangboel te Joab loh manghai taengah tun a paek vaengah Israel te cunghang aka pom tatthai hlang thawng ya rhet, Judah hlang te hlang thawng ya nga om.
10David’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.”
10Pilnam te a tae phoeiah David te a lungbuei loh a ngawn. Te dongah David loh BOEIPA taengah, “Ka saii te muep ka tholh coeng. BOEIPA aw, ka pavai tangkik dongah ni, na sal kathaesainah he han hlah mai laeh,” a ti nah.
11When David rose up in the morning, the LORD’s word came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,
11Mincang ah David te thoo. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah ol te David khohmu, tonghma Gad taengla a pha tih,
12“Go and speak to David, ‘The LORD says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”
12“Cet lamtah he he David taengah thui pah, BOEIPA loh, 'Kai loh nang taengah pathum ka tai he namah ham pakhat ah tuek lamtah nang ham kan saii eh?,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
13So 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.”
13Te dongah Gad te David taengah cet tih a puen pah. Te vaengah David te, “Na khohmuen ah khokha kum rhih ha pai saeh a? Na rhal rhoek mikhmuh ah hla thum na rhaelrham vetih nang n'hloem saeh a? Na khohmuen he hnin thum khuiah duektahaw om koinih ta. Ming lamtah hmu laeh. Mebang kan tueih ham khaw kamah taengla ol ham voei,” a ti nah.
14David 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.”
14David loh Gad taengah, “Kai puen ka cak tangkik coeng. A haidamnah tah aka len koek haidamnah la a om dongah BOEIPA kah kut dongah tla uh mai saeh lamtah hlang kut dongah ka tla boel mai eh,” a ti.
15So 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.
15Te dongah mincang lamloh khoning tue duela BOEIPA loh Israel soah duektahaw a paek. Te vaengah pilnam te Dan lamloh Beersheba duela hlang thawng sawmrhih duek.
16When the angel stretched out his hand toward 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.
16Jerusalem te phae hamla puencawn loh a kut a thueng. Tedae yoethae kongah BOEIPA khaw damti coeng tih puencawn te, “Pilnam sokah kutcaihnah te temah laeh saeh, na kut yuek laeh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah puencawn tah Jebusi Araunah cangtilhmuen ah om.
17David 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.”
17Pilnam aka ngawn puencawn te a hmuh vaengah David loh BOEIPA taengah a bih tih, “Kai ka tholh coeng tih ka paihaeh coeng he. Tu rhoek loh balae a saii. Na kut he kamah so neh a pa kah imkhui ah tla mai saeh,” a ti nah.
18Gad 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.”
18Tekah khohnin ah Gad te David taengla pawk tih, “Cet lamtah, Jebusi Araunah kah cangtilhmuen ah BOEIPA ham hmueihtuk suem laeh,” a ti nah.
19David went up according to the saying of Gad, as the LORD commanded.
19Te dongah BOEIPA loh a uen Gad kah ol vanbangla David khaw cet.
20Araunah looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him. Then Araunah went out and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
20Te vaengah Araunah loh a dan hatah manghai neh a sal rhoek loh amah taengla ham paan te a hmuh. Te dongah Araunah loh hlah uh tih manghai hmaiah a maelhmai neh diklai la a bakop pah.
21Araunah 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.”
21Te vaengah Araunah loh, “Ka boei manghai loh a sal taengah balae tih ha pawk co?,” a ti. Te dongah David loh, “BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk suem hamla cangtilhmuen he nang taeng lamkah lai ham ni. Te daengah ni lucik tah pilnam taeng lamloh a paa eh?,” a ti nah.
22Araunah 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.
22Araunah loh David taengah, “Ka boei manghai loh a mikhmuh ah a mikdai aka then te lo saeh lamtah khuen pai saeh. Hmueihhlutnah vaito neh tloep khaw, thing hamla vaito dongkah hnopai khaw so lah he,” a ti nah.
23All this, O king, does Araunah give to the king.” Araunah said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.”
23Soeprhaep boeih te Araunah loh manghai hut la manghai taengah a paek. Te vaengah Araunah loh manghai te, “BOEIPA na Pathen loh nang te m'moeithen nawn saeh,” a ti nah.
24The 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.
24Tedae manghai loh Araunah taengah, “Pawh, nang taeng lamkah he a phu neh ka lai la ka lai eh. Hmueihhlutnah he BOEIPA ka Pathen taengah a yoeyup la ka khuen mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah David loh cangtilhmuen neh vaito te cak shekel sawmnga neh a lai.
25David 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.
25Te phoeiah David loh BOEIPA ham hmueihtuk pahoi a suem tih hmueihhlutnah neh rhoepnah hmueih te a khuen. Te daengah te khohmuen ham BOEIPA taengah thangthui tih Israel sokah lucik te khaw cing van.
