¹And again the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them saying, Go, number Israel and Judah.

¹Huan, TOUPA hehna Iaraelte tungah a hongtung nawn guih a, Kuan inla, Israel mi leh Juda mite sim vek in, chi in David in amau tung a thusia bawl ding in a tok thou hi.

²And the king said to Joab the captain of the host, who was with him, Go, I pray thee, through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and count the people, that I may know the number of the people.

²Huan, kumpipa'n a kiang a om sepaih heutu Joab kiang ah, Israel nam tengteng lak ah Dan a kipan Beer-seba pha in vialvak inla, mi bangzah ahi ua ka theihtheihna ding in sim vek un, a chi a.

³And Joab said to the king, May Jehovah thy God even add to the people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see [it]; but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?

³Huan, Joab in kumpipa kiang ah, Toupa na Pathian in mipite pungsak in, bangzah a tam leng, a mun za leng, toupa ka pu in mu man heh; himahleh toupa kapu in bangding a huai theih ut ahia? a chi a.

⁴But the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the army. And Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel.

⁴Himahleh kumpipa thu in Joab leh sepaihheutute a zouta a. Huchiin Joab leh sepaih heutute Israel mite sim dingin kumpipa kianga kipan a pai khe ta uhi.

⁵And they passed over the Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the midst of the ravine of Gad, and toward Jaazer.

⁵Huan, Jordan gal a va kah ua, huan, Gad guam laitak taklam a kho om Aroer ah Jazer pha in om mun a bawl ua:

⁶And they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and came to Dan-jaan, and to the environs of Sidon;

⁶Huan, Gilead gam leh Tahtim-hodai gam a tung uh; huan, Dan-jaan, leh Zidon kimvel a tung ua.

⁷and they came to the fortified city of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites; and went out to the south of Judah, to Beer-sheba.

⁷Huan, Tura kulh leh, Hivmite khuate tengteng leh, Kanan mite khuate tengteng a va tung ua; Beer-seba a, Juda simlam ah a pai khia uh.

⁸And they went through all the land, and came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

⁸Huchi in gam tengteng a tot suah khit un kha kua leh ni sawmnih a bei in Jerusalem a hongtung uh.

⁹And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to the king; and there were of Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.

⁹Huan, Joab in mihing zah kumpipa a pia a; huan, Israel gamah namsau tawi mi mi hangsan nuai giat a om uh; huan, Juda mi bel nuai nga a om uh.

¹⁰And David's heart smote him after he had numbered the people. And David said to Jehovah, I have sinned greatly in what I have done; and now, I beseech thee, Jehovah, put away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

¹⁰Huan, mihing a sim khit un David lungtang a nuam hetkei. Huan, David in TOUPA kiang ah, Ka thilhih ah nakpi mahmah in ka nakhialta hi: himahleh tu in aw TOUPA, na sikha thulimlouhna koih mang ding in ka hon ngen hi; hai huai mahmah in ka na hihta hi, a chi a.

¹¹And when David arose in the morning, the word of Jehovah came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

¹¹Huan, zingsanga David a thoh leh, David zawlnei Gad kiang ah Toupa thu a na tung a,

¹²Go and say to David, Thus saith Jehovah: I impose on thee three [things]; choose one of them that I may do it unto thee.

¹²Kuan inla, David kiang ah, TOUPA'N hichi in a chi, Thil thum ka hontah a na tung a ka hih ding in khat tel in, a chi hi, chi in.

¹³And Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, Shall seven years of famine come to thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine adversaries while they pursue thee? or shall there be three days' pestilence in thy land? Now be aware and consider what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.

¹³Huchi in Gad bel David kiang ah a hoh a, a hilh a, a kiang ah, Na gam a na tunga kum sagih kial a kiak hia, na melma ma a nang a hon delh sung ua kha thum nana taimang takdih hia, na gama ni thum hi honglen? honsawlpa bangchibang in ahia ka dawn ding kingaihtuah inla, hon hilh dih ve, a chi a.

¹⁴And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah; for his mercies are great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.

¹⁴Huan, David in Gad kiang ah, Ka lung a zing mahmah mai: TOUPA khut ah puk lut peuhmah phot leng; a chitnate lah a thupi mahmah ngala; mihing khut ah honpuk lut sak mahmah ken, a chi a.

¹⁵And Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the set time; and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.

¹⁵Huchi in TOUPA'N Israel mite tungah zingsang a kipan in hun seh tan hi a lengsak a; huchi in mipi lak a mi Dan akipan in Beer-seba tan in mi sing sagih a si uh.

¹⁶And the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it; but Jehovah repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed among the people, It is enough: withdraw now thine hand. And the angel of Jehovah was by the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

¹⁶Huan, angel in hihse dinga Jerusalem lam a a khut a lik leh TOUPA'N thil hoihlou hih a tup a lungheithaka, mite hihmangpa angel kiang ah. Hunta; na khut lik nawn ken, a chi a. Huan, TOUPA angel bel Jebus mi Araun phual chin ah a om.

¹⁷And David spoke to Jehovah when he saw the angel that smote among the people, and said, Behold, it is I that have sinned, and it is I that have committed iniquity; but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, be on me, and on my father's house!

¹⁷Huan, David in mi hihlumpa angel a muh in TOUPA a houpih a, Ngai in, ka nakhialta hi, diklou tak in thil ka na hihta ahi; hizongleh, hiai belamte'n bang thil a hih ua? na khut in kei leh ka pa inkote hon khoih zaw hen aw, a chi a.

¹⁸And Gad came that day to David, and said to him, Go up, rear an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

¹⁸Huan, huai ni in Gad bel David kiang ah a hoh a, a kiang ah, Kuan tou inla, Jebus mi Arsun phual ah TOUPA a ding in maitam va bawl in, a chi a.

¹⁹And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as Jehovah had commanded.

¹⁹Huan, David TOUPA'N thu a piak bang a Gad in a hilh bang in a kuan touta hi.

²⁰And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on towards him; and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

²⁰Huan, Araun in malam a et leh, amahlam zuan a kumpipa leh a lawite hongpai a mu a; huchi in Araun a pawt a, a mai a lei si in kumpipa ma ah a khup boh a.

²¹And Araunah said, Why is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar to Jehovah, that the plague may be stayed from the people.

²¹Huan, Araun in, Bang achia ahia toupa ka pu a sikha kiang a a hong? a chi a. Huan, David in, mipite lak ahi a kikhin theihna ding a TOUPA adia maitam bawl ding a na phual lei ding in, a chi a.

²²And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer up that which is good in his sight: see, [here are] oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-sledges and implements of the oxen for wood.

²²Huan, Araun in David kiang ah, Toupa ka pu in kilawm a sak aleh la henla, lan leh a ke; en in, halmang a lat ding in bawngtalte a om uh, huan, sing ding in phual vanzatte leh bawng vante a om;

²³All these things, O king, doth Araunah give to the king. And Araunah said to the king, Jehovah thy God accept thee.

²³Aw toupa, hiaite tengteng Araun in kumpipa a pe vek hi, a chi a. Huan Araun in kumpipa kiang ah, TOUPA na Pathian in honna dawng heh, a chi a.

²⁴And the king said to Araunah, No; but I will in any case buy [them] of thee at a price: neither will I offer up to Jehovah my God burnt-offerings without cost. And David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

²⁴Huan, kumpipa'n Araun kiang ah, Hi lou e, a man neiin a lei mahmah in ka hon leisak ding ahi zaw; bangmah senna omlou in TOUPA ka Pathian kiang ah halmang thillatte ka lankei hial ding, a chi a. Huchi in David in phual leh bawngtalte, dangka sekel sawmnga in a leita hi.Huan, David in huailai ah TOUPA adingin maitam a bawla, halmang thillatte leh lemna thillatte a lan hi. Huchi in TOUPA a gam tunguah a lungkim a, Israel gam akipan hi a vengta hi.

²⁵And David built there an altar to Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. And Jehovah was propitious to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

²⁵Huan, David in huailai ah TOUPA adingin maitam a bawla, halmang thillatte leh lemna thillatte a lan hi. Huchi in TOUPA a gam tunguah a lungkim a, Israel gam akipan hi a vengta hi.
