1 Chronicles 21
1 Satan decided to cause the Israeli people to have trouble. So he incited David to find out how many men in Israel [were able to be in the army].
At si Satan ay tumayo laban sa Israel, at kinilos si David na bilangin ang Israel.
2 So David commanded Joab and the other army commanders, “Count all the men in Israel [who are able to be in the army]. Start at Beersheba [town in the south] and go all the way to Dan [city in the north]. Then come back and report to me, in order that I may know how many men there are.”
At sinabi ni David kay Joab, at sa mga prinsipe ng bayan, Kayo'y magsiyaon, bilangin ninyo ang Israel mula sa Beer-seba hanggang sa Dan; at dalhan ninyo ako ng salita; upang aking maalaman ang bilang nila.
3 But Joab replied, “Your majesty, even if Yahweh allowed us to have 100 times as many soldiers as we have now, you would [RHQ] still rule all of them. So why do you want us to do this? You will surely [RHQ] cause [all the people of] Israel to be guilty of sinning.”
At sinabi ni Joab, Gawin nawa ng Panginoon ang kaniyang bayan na makasandaang higit sa dami nila; nguni't, panginoon ko na hari, di ba silang lahat ay mga lingkod ng aking panginoon? bakit kinakailangan ng panginoon ko ang bagay na ito? bakit siya'y magiging sanhi ng ipagkakasala ng Israel?
4 But David would not change his mind. So Joab [and his soldiers] went everywhere in Israel and in Judah, and counted the people. Then they returned to Jerusalem,
Gayon ma'y ang salita ng hari ay nanaig laban kay Joab. Kaya't si Joab ay yumaon, at naparoon sa buong Israel, at dumating sa Jerusalem.
5 and they reported to David that there were 1,100,000 men in Israel who could be in the army, and 470,000 in Judah.
At ibinigay ni Joab ang kabuuan ng bilang ng bayan kay David. At silang lahat na taga Israel ay labing isang daan libo na nagsisihawak ng tabak: at ang Juda ay apat na raan at pitongpung libong lalake na nagsisihawak ng tabak.
6 Joab did not count the men from the tribes of Levi and Benjamin, because he was disgusted with what the king had commanded.
Nguni't ang Levi at ang Benjamin ay hindi binilang; sapagka't ang pananalita ng hari ay kahalayhalay kay Joab.
7 David’s command to count the people caused God to become angry, so he [told David that he had decided to] punish [the people of] Israel.
At sumama ang loob ng Dios sa bagay na ito; kaya't kaniyang sinaktan ang Israel.
8 Then David prayed, saying, “Yahweh, what I did was very foolish. I have sinned greatly by what I have done. So now I plead with you, please forgive me.”
At sinabi ni David sa Dios, Ako'y nagkasala ng mabigat sa aking paggawa ng bagay na ito: nguni't ngayo'y alisin mo, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, ang kasamaan ng iyong lingkod, sapagka't aking ginawang may lubhang kamangmangan.
9 Then Yahweh said to Gad, David’s prophet,
At ang Panginoon ay nagsalita kay Gad na tagakita ni David, na sinasabi,
10 “Go and tell this to David: I am allowing you to choose one of three things [to punish you]. I will do whichever one you choose.”
Yumaon ka at magsalita kay David na sasabihin, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Pinagpapalagayan kita ng tatlong bagay; pumili ka ng isa sa mga iyan, upang aking magawa sa iyo.
11 So Gad went to David and said to him, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You can choose one of these [punishments]:
Sa gayo'y naparoon si Gad kay David, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Piliin mo ang iniibig mo:
12 three years of famine [in Israel], or three months during which your armies will run away from their enemies [who will attack them with] swords, or three days during which I will send my angel to cause many people in the country to die because of a (plague/very serious illness).’ So, you must decide what I will say to answer [Yahweh, ] the one who sent me.”
Tatlong taong kagutom; o tatlong buwan na pagkalipol sa harap ng iyong mga kaaway, samantalang ang tabak ng iyong mga kaaway ay umabot sa iyo; o kung dili ay tatlong araw na ang tabak ng Panginoon, sa makatuwid baga'y ang salot sa lupain, at ang anghel ng Panginoon ay mangwawasak sa lahat na hangganan ng Israel. Ngayon nga'y akalain mo kung anong sagot ang ibabalik ko sa kaniya na nagsugo sa akin.
13 David replied to Gad, “I am very distressed. But allow Yahweh to punish [MTY] me, because he is very merciful. Do not allow humans to punish me, [because they will not be merciful].”
At sinabi ni David kay Gad, Ako'y totoong nasa kagipitan: ipinamamanhik ko na ihulog mo ako ngayon sa kamay ng Panginoon; sapagka't totoong malaki ang kaniyang kaawaan; at huwag akong mahulog sa kamay ng tao.
14 So Yahweh sent a plague on [the people of] Israel, and 70,000 of them died because of it.
Sa gayo'y nagsugo ang Panginoon ng salot sa Israel: at nabuwal sa Israel ay pitongpung libong lalake.
15 And God sent an angel to destroy the people in Jerusalem by the plague. But when the angel was standing at the ground where Araunah, from the Jebus people-group, threshed grain, Yahweh saw all the suffering that the people had endured, and he was grieved. So he said to the angel, “Stop what you are doing [IDM]! That is enough [IDM]!”
At ang Dios ay nagsugo ng isang anghel sa Jerusalem, upang gibain; at nang kaniyang lilipulin, ang Panginoo'y tumingin, at nagsisi siya tungkol sa kasamaan, at sinabi sa manglilipol na anghel, Siya na, ngayo'y itigil mo ang iyong kamay. At ang anghel ng Panginoon ay tumayo sa tabi ng giikan ni Ornan na Jebuseo.
16 David looked up and saw the angel whom Yahweh had sent, standing between the sky and the ground. The angel had a sword in his hand that was pointed toward Jerusalem. Then David and the elders [of the city], who were wearing clothes made of rough sackcloth, prostrated themselves on the ground.
At itinanaw ni David ang kaniyang mga mata, at nakita ang anghel ng Panginoon na nakatayo sa pagitan ng lupa at ng langit, na may hawak na tabak sa kaniyang kamay na nakaunat sa Jerusalem. Nang magkagayo'y si David at ang mga matanda, na nangakapanamit ng kayong magaspang ay nangagpatirapa.
17 David said to God, “I am [RHQ] the one who ordered the men who could be in the army to be counted. I am the one who has sinned and done what is very wrong, but these people are [as innocent as] [MET] sheep. They have certainly not [RHQ] done anything [that is wrong]. So Yahweh my God, punish [IDM] me and my family, but do not allow this plague to continue to [cause] your people [to become sick and die].”
At sinabi ni David sa Dios, Hindi ba ako ang nagpabilang sa bayan? sa makatuwid baga'y ako yaong nagkasala at gumawa ng totoong kasamaan; nguni't ang mga tupang ito, ano ang kanilang ginawa? Idinadalangin ko sa iyo, Oh Panginoon kong Dios, na ang iyong kamay ay maging laban sa akin, at laban sa sangbahayan ng aking ama; nguni't huwag laban sa iyong bayan, na sila'y masasalot.
18 Then the angel who was sent by Yahweh told Gad to go up to the place where Araunah threshed grain and tell David to build an altar to [worship] Yahweh there.
Nang magkagayo'y inutusan ng anghel ng Panginoon si Gad upang sabihin kay David na siya'y sumampa, at magtayo ng isang dambana sa Panginoon sa giikan ni Ornan na Jebuseo.
19 So [after Gad told] David, [he] obeyed the message that Yahweh [MTY] had given to Gad, [and he went up there].
At si David ay sumampa sa sabi ni Gad na kaniyang sinalita sa pangalan ng Panginoon.
20 While Araunah was threshing some wheat, he turned and saw the angel. His four sons who were with him [also saw the angel, and they] hid themselves.
At si Ornan ay bumalik at nakita ang anghel; at ang kaniyang apat na anak na kasama niya ay nagsipagkubli. Si Ornan nga ay gumigiik ng trigo.
21 Then David approached. When Araunah saw him, he left the place where he was threshing grain and prostrated himself, with his face touching the ground.
At samantalang si David ay naparoroon kay Ornan, si Ornan ay tumanaw at nakita si David, at lumabas sa giikan, at iniyukod kay David ang kaniyang mukha sa lupa.
22 David said to him, “Please sell me your threshing place in order that I can build an altar here to [worship] Yahweh. Then he will stop this plague. I will pay the full price.”
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni David kay Ornan, Ibigay mo sa akin ang dako ng giikang ito, upang aking mapagtayuan ng isang dambana sa Panginoon: sa buong halaga ay ibibigay mo sa akin: upang ang salot ay tumigil sa bayan.
23 Araunah replied, “Take it! Your majesty, do whatever you want to. I will give you the oxen [that thresh the grain] for an offering to be completely burned [on the altar]. And I will give you the threshing boards to use as wood [on the altar], and I will give you grain for a grain offering. I will give all those things to you.”
At sinabi ni Ornan kay David, Kunin mo, at gawin ng panginoon kong hari ang mabuti sa harap ng kaniyang mga mata: narito, aking ibinibigay sa iyo ang mga baka na mga pinakahandog na susunugin, at ang mga kasangkapan ng giikan na pinaka kahoy, at ang trigo na pinakahandog na harina; aking ibinibigay sa lahat.
24 But the king said to Araunah, “No, [I will not take these things as a gift]. I will pay you the full price for it. I will not take things that belong to you, things that have cost me nothing and offer them as sacrifices to Yahweh to be completely burned on the altar.”
At sinabi ng haring David kay Ornan, Huwag; kundi katotohanang aking bibilhin ng buong halaga: sapagka't hindi ko kukunin ang iyo para sa Panginoon, o maghahandog man ng handog na susunugin na walang bayad.
25 So David paid Araunah 600 pieces of gold for the whole area.
Sa gayo'y ibinigay ni David kay Ornan dahil sa dakong yaon ang anim na raang siklong ginto na pinakatimbang.
26 David built an altar to [worship] Yahweh there, and he offered sacrifices to be completely burned [on the altar] and sacrifices to restore fellowship [with Yahweh]. David prayed to Yahweh, and Yahweh answered by sending a fire from heaven [to burn up the offerings] on the altar.
At ipinagtayo roon ni David ng isang dambana ang Panginoon, at naghandog ng mga handog na susunugin, at ng mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan, at tumawag sa Panginoon; at sinagot niya siya mula sa langit sa pamamagitan ng apoy sa ibabaw ng dambana ng handog na susunugin.
27 Then Yahweh spoke to the angel, and told him to put his sword back into its sheath. [So the angel did that].
At inutusan ng Panginoon ang anghel; at kaniyang isinuksok sa kaluban ang kaniyang tabak.
28 And when David saw that Yahweh had answered him there at the place where Araunah threshed grain [and had ended the plague], he offered sacrifices there.
Nang panahong yaon, nang makita ni David na sinagot siya ng Panginoon sa giikan ni Ornan na Jebuseo, siya nga'y naghain doon.
29 Yahweh’s Sacred Tent, which Moses had commanded to be set up in the desert, and the altar for burning sacrifices completely, were at that time on a hill at Gibeon [city].
Sapagka't ang tabernakulo ng Panginoon na ginawa ni Moises sa ilang at ang dambana ng handog na susunugin, ay nasa mataas na dako nang panahong yaon sa Gabaon.
30 But David did not want to go there to request God to tell him what he wanted [him to do], because he was afraid that the angel sent from Yahweh [might strike him with] his sword.
Nguni't si David ay hindi makaparoon sa harap niyaon upang magusisa sa Dios: sapagka't siya'y natakot dahil sa tabak ng anghel ng Panginoon.
