1Again the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, “Go, number Israel and Judah.”
1Quichal cuißchic xjoskßil li Kâcuaß Dios saß xbêneb laj Israel. Joßcan nak quixqßue xjoskßil laj David saß xbêneb. Quiyeheß re laj David nak târajlaheb chixjunileb laj Israel ut eb laj Judá.
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 number the people, that I may know the sum of the people.”
2Joßcan nak li rey David quixye re laj Joab li kßaxal nim xcuanquil saß xbêneb li soldados: —Tatxic âcuochbeneb chixjunileb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb li soldados. Têrajla chixjunileb li cuanqueb saß li naßajej Israel. Naticla chak saß li tenamit Dan ut nacuulac toj saß li tenamit Beerseba. Nacuaj xnaubal jarubeb li cristian, chan.
3Joab said to the king, “Now may Yahweh 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?”
3Laj Joab quixye re: —At rey, aß taxak li Dios chiqßuehok re chi tâmc chi nabal eb laj Israel. Ut tâcuileb taxak chixjunileb. Abanan nacuaj xpatzßbal âcue cßaßut nak nasahoß âchßôl chirajlanquileb laj Israel, chan.
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 number the people of Israel.
4Abanan li rey quixpuersi laj Joab ut eb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb li soldados chixbânunquil. Joßcan nak queßel riqßuin li rey ut queßcôeb chirajlanquileb chixjunileb laj Israel.
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:
5Queßnumeß junpacßal li nimaß Jordán ut queßxyîb lix muhebâleb saß li sur re li tenamit Aroer. Li tenamit aßan cuan saß xyi li ru takßa saß xjayal li cuib chi tenamit Gad ut Jazer.
6then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; and they came to Dan Jaan, and around to Sidon,
6Chirix aßan queßcôeb saß eb li tenamit Galaad ut Hodsi saß lix naßajeb laj hititas. Nak queßel aran queßcôeb saß li tenamit Dan-jaán. Ut chirix aßan queßcôeb Sidón ut saß eb li naßajej li cuanqueb chi xjun sutam.
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.
7Mokon chic, queßcôeb saß li tenamit Tiro, li kßaxal cau rib chi pletic. Ut queßcôeb saß chixjunileb lix tenamiteb laj heveo ut eb laj cananeo. Ut queßcôeb saß li tenamit Beerseba, li cuan saß xcuênt Judá ut queßcuulac toj Neguev.
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.
8Nak ac xeßnumeß rajlanquil chixjunileb li tenamit, queßsukßi cuißchic Jerusalén. Belêb po riqßuin junmay cutan queßxnumsi chixbeninquil xsaß chixjunil li tenamit.
9Joab gave up the sum of the numbering 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.
9Ut laj Joab quixye re li rey David jarubeb li cristian. Cuakxakib ciento mil chi cuînk cuanqueb Israel cauheb rib chi pletic. Ut ôb ciento mil chi cuînk cuanqueb Judá.
10David’s heart struck him after that he had numbered the people. David said to Yahweh, “I have sinned greatly in that which I have done. But now, Yahweh, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.”
10Nak ac queßajlâc chixjunileb laj Israel, quiyotßeß xchßôl laj David. Quitijoc ut quixye re li Dios: —At Kâcuaß, nimla mâc li xinbânu lâin. Nintzßâma châcuu nak tâcuy tâsach taxak lin mâc. Xmâcßaßil innaßleb xinbânu cuiß, chan.
11When David rose up in the morning, the word of Yahweh came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,
11Cuulajak chic, nak ac xcuacli laj David, li Kâcuaß quiâtinac riqßuin li profeta Gad, li naqßuehoc xnaßleb laj David.
12“Go and speak to David, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”
12Quixye re: —Tatxic riqßuin laj David ut tâye re, “Joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß. Tinye âcue oxib pây ru li raylal naru tinbânu. Tâsicß ru li bar cuan tâcuaj lâat tinbânu”, chan li Dios.
13So Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, “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.”
13Laj Gad cô riqßuin laj David ut quixye re: —¿Cßaßru tâcuaj tixbânu li Kâcuaß? ¿Ma tâcuaj nak tâcuânk cuukub chihab li cueßej saß lâ tenamit? ¿Malaj ut tâcuaj nak tatêlelik oxibak po chiruheb li xicß nequeßiloc âcue? ¿Malaj ut tâcuaj nak teßcâmk li tenamit xban li caki yajel chiru oxib cutan? Cßoxla chi us cßaßru tâcuaj ut ye cue cßaßru tinye re li Kâcuaß, chan laj Gad.
14David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let us fall now into the hand of Yahweh; for his mercies are great. Let me not fall into the hand of man.”
14Laj David quixye: —Kßaxal ra saß inchßôl ut incßaß nintau cßaßru tinbânu. Abanan takacanab kib saß rukß li Dios xban nak nim li rusilal. Incßaß nakaj nak totßanekß saß rukßeb li xicß nequeßiloc ke, chan laj David.
15So Yahweh sent a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the appointed time; and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.
15Joßcan nak li Kâcuaß quixtakla li caki yajel saß xbêneb laj Israel saß li ekßela aßan toj quicuulac li hônal li quixye li Kâcuaß. Queßcam lajêb xcâcßâl mil chi cuînk. Quixtiquib chak saß li tenamit Dan ut quicuulac toj saß li tenamit Beerseba.
16When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, Yahweh relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, “It is enough. Now stay your hand.” The angel of Yahweh was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
16Oc raj re chixsachbal ru li tenamit Jerusalén lix ángel li Dios, abanan quiyotßeß xchßôl li Dios chirilbal li raylal yôqueb chixcßulbal. Ut li Dios quixye re li ángel li yô chi camsînc reheb: —Tzßakal li xabânu. Mârahobtesiheb chic, chan. Saß li hônal aßan lix ángel li Dios cuan chire li naßajej li narisi cuiß rix li trigo laj Arauna laj jebuseo.
17David spoke to Yahweh 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.”
17Laj David quiril li ángel li yô chi camsînc reheb li cristian ut quixye re li Dios: —At Kâcuaß, lâin xinbânun re li mâusilal aßin. Lâin cuan inmâc. Eb li cristian aßin mâcßaßeb xmâc. Chanchaneb li carner. Nintzßâma châcuu nak tâqßue li raylal saß inbên lâin ut saß xbêneb li cualal incßajol, chan.
18Gad came that day to David, and said to him, “Go up, build an altar to Yahweh on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
18Saß ajcuiß li cutan aßan laj Gad quicuulac riqßuin laj David ut quixye re: —Tatxic saß li naßajej li narisi cuiß rix lix trigo laj Arauna laj jebuseo. Ut aran tâyîb jun li artal re xlokßoninquil li Kâcuaß, chan.
19David went up according to the saying of Gad, as Yahweh commanded.
19Joßcan nak li rey David cô chixbânunquil li cßaßru quiyeheß re xban laj Gad, joß quitaklâc cuiß xban li Kâcuaß.
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.
20Laj Arauna quiril nak li rey David ut eb li nequeßtenkßan re yôqueb chak chi châlc riqßuin. Qui-el ut quixcuikßib rib saß chßochß chiru li rey David.
21Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” David said, “To buy your threshing floor, to build an altar to Yahweh, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”
21Laj Arauna quixye: —At rey, ¿cßaß raj ru tâcuaj nak xatchal chicuilbal lâin aj cßanjel châcuu? chan. Laj David quixye re: —Lâin tincuaj xlokßbal lâ naßaj li nacacuisi cuiß rix lâ trigo. Tinyîb jun li artal arin re xlokßoninquil li Kâcuaß Dios re nak teßxcanab câmc li tenamit, chan.
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 instruments and the yokes of the oxen for the wood:
22Laj Arauna quixye re: —At rey, bânu joß nacacßoxla nak us xbânunquil. Qßue lâ mayej chiru li Kâcuaß lâ Dios. Naru tâcamsi li cuib chi bôyx aßin chokß re lâ cßatbil mayej. Ut li cheß li naqßueman saß xcuxeb tâcßanjelak re lâ siß joß ajcuiß lix cheßel li naßajej aßin, chan.
23all this, king, does Araunah give to the king.” Araunah said to the king, “May Yahweh your God accept you.”
23Laj Arauna quixqßue chixjunil re li rey David ut quixye re: —Chixcßulak taxak li Kâcuaß lâ mayej, chan.
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 Yahweh my God which cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
24Li rey David quixye re: —Incßaß tincßul yal chi joßcan. Incßaß naru tinmayeja chiru li Kâcuaß li incßaß xintoj rix lâin, chan. Joßcan nak quixlokß li naßajej li narisi cuiß rix lix trigo laj Arauna, joß eb ajcuiß lix bôyx. Lajêb roxcßâl chi tumin plata quixqßue re.Quixyîb lix artal laj David saß li naßajej aßan. Quixqßue lix cßatbil mayej. Ut quixqßue lix mayej re xcßambaleb rib saß usilal riqßuin li Kâcuaß. Li Kâcuaß quirabi li cßaßru queßxtzßâma chiru ut quirisi li caki yajel saß xbêneb laj Israel.
25David built an altar to Yahweh there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So Yahweh was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
25Quixyîb lix artal laj David saß li naßajej aßan. Quixqßue lix cßatbil mayej. Ut quixqßue lix mayej re xcßambaleb rib saß usilal riqßuin li Kâcuaß. Li Kâcuaß quirabi li cßaßru queßxtzßâma chiru ut quirisi li caki yajel saß xbêneb laj Israel.
