1Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
1Huan Setanin Israelte a suala, David bel Israelte sim utna a neisak hi.
2David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, “Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them.”
2Huan Davidin Joab leh a miliante uh kiangah, Kuan unla, Beer-seba akipan Dan tanin Israel mite sim unla, a zah uh ka theih theihna dingin honghilh nawn un, a chi a.
3Joab said, “May Yahweh make his people a hundred times as many as they are. But, my lord the king, aren’t they all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?”
3Huan Joabin kumpipa kiangah, toupa a mite a mun jain zong hihpung leh, kumpipa ka toupa, ka toupa mite mah hi lou uh ahi maw? bangdia ka toupan huai theih kilawp ahia? bangdia Israelte siamlouh tan lohna hi ding ahia oi? a chi a.
4Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
4Huchiin Joab a pawt khiaa, Israel gam tentengah a paia, Jerusalem ah a pai nawna.
5Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew sword: and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who drew sword.
5Huan Joabin mihing om zah David a hilha. Israel gama namsau tawi mi tengteng maktaduai khat leh nuai khat ahi uh; huan Juda gama namsau tawi mi bel nuai li leh sing sagih ahi uh.
6But he didn’t count Levi and Benjamin among them; for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.
6Levite leh Benjaminte bel a sim tel tei keia; kumpipa thu Joab jakdah lamtak ahi ngala.
7God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel.
7Huan huai thilah Pathian a kipak ta keia; huchiin Israelte a gawtta hi.
8David said to God, “I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.”
8Huan Davidin Pathian kiangah, Hiai thil ka nahihna ah nakpi takin ka nahihkhialta ahi; himahleh na sikha thulimlouhna hehpihtakin ngaidamin, haihuai takin ka nahihta ahi, a chi a.
9Yahweh spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying,
9Huan TOUPAN David jawlnei Gad kiangah,
10“Go and speak to David, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”
10Kuan inla, David kiangah, TOUPAN hichiin a chi, Thil thum ka hontah: na tunga ka hih dingin a lak ua khat telin, a chi hi, chiin a gen a.
11So Gad came to David, and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Take your choice:
11Huchiin David kiangah Gad a vahoha, a kiangah, TOUPAN hichiin a chi,
12either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days the sword of Yahweh, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of Yahweh destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.’”
12A koi ahia na deih telin; kum thum kial kiak hia, na melmate namsaua delh phaka oma kha thum na melmate vuallelhsak hia, ni thum hi, TOUPA namsaua TOUPA angelin Israel gam tengtenga mi hihmanthat jel? chiin. Huchiin kei honsawlpa bang ka chi dawn dia, kingaihtuah inla, honhilh dih ve, a chi a.
13David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into the hand of Yahweh; for his mercies are very great. Let me not fall into the hand of man.”
13Huan Davidin Gad kiangah, ka lungjing mahmah; TOUPA khut ah puklut peuhmah mail eng; a chitna lah a thupi mahmah ngala; mihing khut ah jaw honpuklut sak mahmah ken, a chi a.
14So Yahweh sent a pestilence on Israel; and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
14Huchiin TOUPAN Israelte lakah hi a lengsakta.
15God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, Yahweh saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, “It is enough; now stay your hand.” The angel of Yahweh was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
15Huan Jerusalem khua hihse dingin Pathianin angel a sawla; huan a hihsiat sin laitakin, TOUPAN a ena, thil hoihlou hih a tup khiama, mite hihmangthang angel kiangah, A hunta; na khut lik nawn ken, a chi a. Huan TOUPA angel Jebus mi Ornan phual chinah a ding hi.
16David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Yahweh standing between earth and the sky, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.
16Huan David a dak tou a, TOUPA angel, namsau phawisaa Jerusalem lam ngima, lei leh van kikala ding a mu a. Huchiin David leh a upaten saiip puan silhin leiah a khup bohta uhi.
17David said to God, “Isn’t it I who commanded the people to be numbered? It is even I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, O Yahweh my God, be against me, and against my father’s house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued.”
17Huan Davidin Pathian kiangah, keimah ka hi ka hia mipite sim ding chih thu pepa? keimah ka hi, thil nanahihkhiala, ginatlouhhuaitak thil nanahih; hiai belamten bang thil ahia a hih tei uh? aw TOUPA ka Pathian, keimah leh ka inkote tungah na khut kha jaw inla, na miten hi thuak nawn kei uhen, a chi a.
18Then the angel of Yahweh commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up, and raise an altar to Yahweh in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
18Huchiin TOUPA angelin Gad kiangah David vahoh tou-a, Jebus mi Ornan phuala TOUPA adia maitam vabawl dinga David hilh dingin thu a pia a.
19David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of Yahweh.
19Huan Gadin TOUPA mina a gen bangin David a hoh touta hi.
20Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
20Huan Ornan a kilehheia, angel a mu a; huan, a tapa li a kianga om teite a buta uh. Arnanin buh a nachil ahi.
21As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
21Huan David Ornan kiang a tunin, Ornan a kiheia, David a mutaa, huan, phual akipan a pawt khia, a maia lei siin David maah a khupbohta hi.
22Then David said to Ornan, “Give me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build thereon an altar to Yahweh. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”
22Huchiin Davidin Ornan kiangah, Hiai phual TOUPA adia maitam ka bawlna din honpe dih ve; a man kim geih lain honpia in, mipite laka hi a kikhin theihna dingin, a chi a.
23Ornan said to David, “Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Behold, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all.”
23Huan Ornanin David kiangah, Tangin, TOUPA ka kumpipan pha a sak bangin hih hen; halmanga lat dingin bawngtal te, sing dingin phual vanzatte, tangbuang thillat dingin buhte hi; ka hontuahsak vek ding, a chi a.
24King David said to Ornan, “No; but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for Yahweh, nor offer a burnt offering without cost.”
24Huan kumpipa Davidin Ornan kiangah, Hilou e; a man kim geihin ka lei zo ding, man beiin nanga TOUPA adin ka la kei ding, halmang thillat leng ka lan kei ding, a chi a.
25So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
25Huchiin Davidin huai mun leinain Ornan dangkaeng sekel za guk a pia.
26David built an altar to Yahweh there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on Yahweh; and he answered him from the sky by fire on the altar of burnt offering.
26Huan Davidin huailaiah TOUPA dingin maitam a bawltaa, halmang thillatte, leh lemna thillatte a lana, TOUPA a sam; huan, amah maitam tunga meiin van akipanin adawngta hi.
27Yahweh commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.
27Huan TOUPAN angel thu a piaa, a namsau a pai ah a thun nawnta hi.
28At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
28Huan Davidin Jebus mi Ornan phual ah TOUPAN a hondawng chih a theihin huailaiah a kithoihta hi.
29For the tabernacle of Yahweh, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
29Huchih laiin Mosiin gamdaia Toupa biakbuk leh halmang thillatna maitam a bawl Gibeon khua mun sangah a om ahi.Himahleh David bel TOUPA angel namsau a kihtak jiakin Pathian dong dingin huailaiah a hoh theikei hi.
30But David couldn’t go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Yahweh.
30Himahleh David bel TOUPA angel namsau a kihtak jiakin Pathian dong dingin huailaiah a hoh theikei hi.
