< 1 Chronicles 21 >

1 Then the accuser stood up, against Israel, —and moved David, to number Israel.
Yon jou, Satan move sou pèp Izrayèl la, li pouse David al konte konbe moun ki nan pèp Izrayèl la.
2 And David said unto Joab and unto the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel, from Beer-sheba even unto Dan, —and bring [the report] unto me, that I may know the number of them.
Wa a pale ak Joab ansanm ak lòt chèf yo, li di yo konsa: -Ale nan tout branch fanmi Izrayèl yo, depi lavil Bètcheba nan sid jouk lavil Dann nan nò. Konte dènye moun ki nan pèp la. Lèfini, fè m' yon rapò pou m' ka konnen konbe moun ki gen nan peyi a.
3 Then said Joab, May Yahweh add unto his people, as many as they are, a hundred times, but are they not, my lord O king, all of them my lord’s, as servants? wherefore should my lord seek this? wherefore should it become guilt to Israel?
Men Joab di wa a konsa: -Monwa, mwen mande Seyè a pou li fè pèp Izrayèl la vin san fwa pi plis pase jan li ye koulye a. Lèfini, monwa, ou konnen yo tout la ap sèvi ou. Men poukisa, monwa, ou vle fè sa? Poukisa ou vle pòte pèp Izrayèl la fè sa ki mal?
4 But, the word of the king, prevailed against Joab, —and Joab departed, and went to and fro throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
Men, wa a pa t' soti pou li chanje lòd li te bay la. Konsa, Joab pati, li vwayaje nan tout peyi a. Apre sa, li tounen lavil Jerizalèm.
5 And Joab delivered the sum of the number of the people, unto David, —and all Israel was found to be a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men, who drew sword, and Judah, four hundred and seventy thousand men, who drew sword.
Joab renmèt wa a rapò ki bay kantite moun ki te gen antou nan tout peyi a. Se konsa yo te jwenn yon milyon sanmil (1.100.000) gason ki konn sèvi ak nepe nan peyi Izrayèl la ak katsanswasanndimil (470.000) nan peyi Jida a.
6 But, Levi and Benjamin, counted he not among them, —for detestable was the word of the king unto Joab.
Men Joab pa t' konte moun ni nan branch fanmi Levi a, ni nan branch fanmi Benjamen an, paske lòd wa a te bay la pa t' antre nan santiman l' menm.
7 And it was displeasing in the eyes of God, concerning this thing, —therefore smote he Israel.
Men, sa David te fè a pa t' fè Bondye plezi. Bondye pini pèp Izrayèl la.
8 And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing, —but, now, I beseech thee, take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have shown myself very foolish.
Lè sa a, David di Bondye: -Sa m' fè la a, se yon gwo peche. Koulye a, tanpri, padonnen m'. Pa bliye se sèvitè ou mwen ye. Mwen te aji tankou moun fou.
9 Then spake Yahweh unto Gad, the seer of David saying:
Seyè a pale ak pwofèt Gad, konseye David la, li di l' konsa:
10 Go—and thou shalt speak unto David, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, Three things, do I offer thee, —choose thee one from among them, that I may do it unto thee.
-Ale pale ak David. W'a di l' men mesaj Seyè a voye ba ou. Li mete twa chatiman devan ou. Ou menm, w'a chwazi yonn ladan yo. Sa w'a chwazi a, se sa l'a fè ou.
11 So Gad came unto David, —and said to him, Thus, saith Yahweh,
Se konsa Gad al jwenn David lakay li, li di l' konsa: -Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Kisa ou vle?
12 Choose thee: —Whether, for three years, [there be] famine, Or, for three months, that thou flee before thine adversaries, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee, Or, for three days, the sword of Yahweh, and pestilence be in the land, with, the messenger of Yahweh, laying waste throughout all the boundary of Israel, —Now, therefore, see, what, answer, I shall return unto him that sent me.
Twa lanne grangou nan tout peyi a, twa mwa ap kouri devan lènmi k'ap pousib ou ak sòlda yo, osinon twa jou ap sibi chatiman Seyè a ak yon epidemi nan tout peyi a, pou zanj Seyè a menm ap mache touye moun nan tout peyi Izrayèl la? Al kalkile sou sa pou fe m' konnen ki repons pou m' pote bay moun ki voye m' lan.
13 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait, —Oh let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Yahweh, for abounding are his compassions, exceedingly, but, into the hand of man, let me not fall.
David reponn: -M' nan gwo tèt chaje! Men, m' pa vle tonbe anba men lèzòm menm! Pito se Seyè a ki pini m', paske li gen bon kè!
14 So Yahweh laid pestilence, upon Israel, —and there fell, of Israel, seventy thousand men.
Se konsa, Seyè a voye yon epidemi sou pèp Izrayèl la. Li touye swasanndimil (70.000) moun nan pèp Izrayèl la.
15 And God sent a messenger to Jerusalem, to lay it waste, but, as he was laying it waste, Yahweh looked, and relented concerning the calamity, and said unto the messenger who was laying waste, Enough! now, stay thy hand. And, the messenger of Yahweh, was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Seyè a te voye zanj li sou lavil Jerizalèm pou detwi l'. Lè zanj lan konmanse fè travay li, Seyè a wè sa, li fè lide sispann chatiman an. Li di zanj ki t'ap touye moun yo: -Sispann! Kenbe men ou! Lè sa a, zanj lan te gen tan toupre glasi Onan an, moun lavil Jebis la.
16 And, when David lifted up his eyes, and saw the messenger of Yahweh, standing, between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn, in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem, then fell David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, upon their faces.
David voye je l', li wè zanj Seyè a kanpe nan lè a, san pye l' pa touche tè, bra l' lonje sou lavil Jerizalèm ak yon nepe nan men l'. Lè sa a, David ak chèf fanmi yo, rad sak yo sou yo, bese tèt yo jouk atè.
17 And David said unto God, Was it not, I, who gave word to number the people? Yea, I, it was who sinned and did the great wrong, what then had, these sheep, done? O Yahweh, my God, let thy hand, I beseech thee, be against me, and against the house of my father, but not against, thy people, that they should be plagued!
David pale ak Seyè a, li di l' konsa: -Se mwen menm ki te mande pou yo konte moun yo. Se mwen menm ki antò. Se mwen menm ki fè sa ki mal. Kisa moun sa yo fè? Se mouton yo ye. Tanpri, Seyè, Bondye mwen, pa voye ankenn malè sou pèp la. Se mwen menm ansanm ak fanmi mwen pou ou ta pini.
18 And, the messenger of Yahweh, commanded Gad, to say unto David, —that David should go up, to rear an altar unto Yahweh, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Zanj Seyè a te bay pwofèt Gad lòd pou l' te al mande David pou l' moute lakay Onan, moun lavil Jebis la, bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a nan mitan glasi a.
19 So David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spake in the name of Yahweh.
David koute sa Gad te di l' la, li moute lakay Onan jan Seyè a te ba li lòd la.
20 And Ornan turned, and saw the messenger, but, his four sons with him, were hiding themselves, —now, Ornan, had been threshing wheat.
Onan menm t'ap bat ble ansanm ak kat pitit gason l' yo ki te la avè l' sou glasi a. Lè yo wè zanj lan, pitit li yo kouri al kache.
21 Then came David unto Ornan, —and Ornan looked, and saw David, and went forth out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself unto David, with his face to the ground.
Onan vire tèt li, li wè David ki t'ap vini. Li kite glasi a, li tonbe ajenou devan wa a, li bese tèt li jouk fwon li touche tè.
22 And David said unto Ornan, Grant me the place of the threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar, unto Yahweh, —for silver in full, shalt thou grant it me, that the plague may be stayed from off the people.
David di Onan konsa: -Vann mwen anplasman glasi a pou m' bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a. Ban mwen li pou pri li vo. Konsa, epidemi k'ap fini ak pèp la va sispann.
23 And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do what is good in his own eyes, —see! I have given the oxen for ascending-sacrifices, and, the threshing implements for wood, and the wheat for a meal-offering, —the whole, have I given.
Onan di David konsa: -Monwa, ou mèt pran l' pou fè sa ou vle avè l'. Men m'ap bay bèf sa yo pou ou boule nèt sou lotèl la. Men jouk bèf yo ak bwa kabwa yo pou fè dife, ak ble pou sèvi ofrann grenn jaden an. M'ap ba ou tout bagay sa yo.
24 Then said King David to Ornan, Nay! but I will, surely buy, it for silver in full, —for I will not take that which is thine for Yahweh, nor offer an ascending-sacrifice that hath cost me nothing.
Men wa David reponn Onan, li di l': -Non. Se achte m'ap achte. Se pou m' peye ou sa yo vo. M' pa ka ofri Seyè a sa ki pou ou. Mwen p'ap pran anyen ki pa koute m' lajan pou m' ofri bay Seyè a.
25 So David gave to Ornan, for the place, —shekels of gold, by weight, six hundred.
Se konsa David bay Onan swasant pyès lò pou anplasman glasi a.
26 And David built there an altar unto Yahweh, and caused to go up ascending-sacrifices, and peace-offerings, —and called unto Yahweh, and he responded to him, by fire, out of the heavens, upon the altar of ascending-sacrifice.
Lèfini, li bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a, li fè ofrann bèt boule pou Bondye ak ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi. Li lapriyè nan pye Seyè a. Seyè a reponn li, li voye dife soti nan syèl la pou boule ofrann ki sou lotèl la.
27 And Yahweh gave word to tile messenger, and he put back his sword into its sheath.
Lè sa a, Seyè a bay zanj li a lòd pou li mete nepe li nan djenn li ankò.
28 At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
Lè David wè Seyè a te reponn lapriyè li te fè nan pye l' sou glasi Onan, moun lavil Jebis la, li ofri bèt pou touye sou lotèl la.
29 But, the habitation of Yahweh, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of ascending-sacrifice, were, at that time, in the high place at Gibeon;
Men lè sa a, Tant Randevou Moyiz te fè moute pou Seyè a nan dezè a ansanm ak lotèl pou boule ofrann bèt yo te sou mòn Gabawon toujou, kote yo te mete apa pou Seyè a.
30 and David could not go before it, to seek God, —for he had been terrified, because of the sword of the messenger of Yahweh.
Men, David pa t' ka ale la pou adore Seyè a, paske li te pè nepe zanj Seyè a.
