1 Israel douna din, Satan’in Israel chate mijat simdin David lengpa atildoh tai.
And Satan stoode vp against Israel, and prouoked Dauid to nomber Israel.
2 Hijeh hin David nin Joab le a sepai lamkai ho jah ah, “Sahlam gamkai Bersheba apat lhumlam gamkai Dan chan gei Israel mijat gasim uvin lang, nasimdoh jat u chu kaheng’a hinchoi’un, keiman kahet nom’e.
Therefore Dauid said to Ioab, and to the rulers of the people, Go, and nomber Israel from Beer-sheba euen to Dan, and bring it to me, that I may knowe the nomber of them.
3 Ahin Joab’in adonbut’in, “Pakaiyin Israel chate ajat ja’n hin punsah hen. Ahin ka Pakai le ka Lengpa, amaho khu namite hilou ham? Iding’a ka Pakaipa’n hiche nabol nom ham? Iding’a Israelte chung’a themmona lhunsah ding nagot ham?” ati.
And Ioab answered, The Lord increase his people an hundreth times so many as they be, O my lord the King: are they not all my lords seruats? wherefore doeth my lord require this thing? why should he be a cause of trespasse to Israel?
4 Ahivang’in, lengpan athusei chu apetchah in, hijehchun Joab jong lengpa thupeh nit’in Israel chate chenna gam jousea mijat agasim in Jerusalem ahung kile tai.
Neuerthelesse the Kings word preuailed against Ioab. And Ioab departed and went thorowe all Israel, and returned to Ierusalem.
5 Hichun ajatsimdoh jat chu David heng’a ahetsah tai. Gaalhang chemjam lamthei cheh chu mi nel khat le sang jakhat alhingin, Judah mite jong Sang jali le sang somsagi alhing uve.
And Ioab gaue the nomber and summe of the people vnto Dauid: and all Israel were eleuen hundreth thousande men that drewe sword: and Iudah was foure hundreth and seuentie thousande men that drewe sword.
6 Hiche jatsim ahin Joab in Levi mite le Benjamin mite vang asimtha pon ahi ajehchu, lengpa thupeh chu Joab in ama boldia adeimo behseh jeng ahi.
But the Leuites and Beniamin counted he not among them: for the Kings worde was abominable to Ioab.
7 Hichun, Pathen in mijatsim kibolchu alunghanpi jeh in ami Israelte chu gotna achantan ahi.
And God was displeased with this thing: therefore he smote Israel.
8 Chuphat’in David in Pathen jah a hitin aseitai, “Vo Kapathen, keiman nangma doumahtah kaboldoh tai, ngolhoitah hijongle neingaidam kit in,” ati.
Then Dauid saide vnto God, I haue sinned greatly, because I haue done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, remooue the iniquitie of thy seruant: for I haue done very foolishly.
9 Chuphatchun, Pathenin David ding’a mitva neiya pangpa Gad heng’a hitin aseitai,
And the Lord spake vnto Gad Dauids Seer, saying,
10 “David heng’a gache’n lang Pathen in hitin aseiye tin gaseipeh tan”, gimbolna thum lah a hin khat kilhen inlang, hichu keiman ka guilhun sah teiding ahi”, ati.
Goe and tell Dauid, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I offer thee three thinges: choose thee one of them, that I may doe it vnto thee.
11 Hijeh chun David heng’a Gad ahung’in hitin aseitai, “Pathenin hicheng thum hi nagon pehtai,”
So Gad came to Dauid, and sayde vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Take to thee
12 “Kum thum sung’a kel lhah ding nadei’am, na galmiten chemjam a lhathum sungsea nasuhgam ding nalhen ding ham ahiloule, ni thum sung a gamna hise nasatah a lhung’a nalenggam sung pumpia pakai vantil in namite asuhgam ding hoichi nalhen joh ding ham?” “Eihin solpa Pathen heng’a iti kalhut ding nalhen joh hitam?” ati.
Either three yeeres famine, or three moneths to be destroyed before thine aduersaries, and the sworde of thine enemies to take thee, or els the sworde of the Lord and pestilence in the lande three dayes, that the Angel of the Lord may destroy throughout all the coastes of Israel: nowe therefore aduise thee, what word I shall bring againe to him that sent me.
13 “Kadinmun ahahsa valtai” tin David in Gad jah a aseitai. “iti nama jongle mihem khut a kipeh sang’in Ka Pakai, Ka Pathen khut joh’in kipelut tang’e. Ajehchu, amihepina kidangtahchu kakinem nalaiye” ati.
And Dauid said vnto Gad, I am in a wonderfull strait. let me nowe fall into the hande of the Lord: for his mercies are exceeding great, and let me not fall into the hande of man.
14 Hichun, Pathenin Israelte lah a gamna hise alan sah tan, mi sangsom sagi jen in thina atoh tai.
So the Lord sent a pestilence in Israel, and there fell of Israel seuentie thousande men.
15 Chuban’a jong, Pathenin Jerusalem sugamhel din mithat vantil ahinsoltan ahileh, akigotjinglai un, Pathenin alung ahin heiyin, vantil jah’a, “Aphaset tai, ngatan” tin aseitai. Chupettah chun, mithat vantil chu Jerusalem chungvum’a ana pansa tan ahi. Hichu Jebus mipa Araunah changphol ahitai.
And God sent the Angel into Ierusalem to destroy it. And as he was destroying, the Lord behelde, and repented of the euill and sayde to the Angel that destroyed, It is nowe ynough, let thine hande cease. Then the Angel of the Lord stoode by the thresshing floore of Ornan the Iebusite.
16 David in vanlang a Pakai vantil ten chemjam pum a Jerusalem suhgam ding agot u amu phat’in. Israel lamkai pipuho toh kisih pumin tol lang ngan, khaodip ponsil pum’in.
And Dauid lift vp his eyes, and sawe the Angel of the Lord stande betweene the earth and the heauen with his sworde drawen in his hand, and stretched out towarde Ierusalem. Then Dauid and the Elders of Israel, which were clothed in sacke, fell vpon their faces.
17 Chuin, David in Pathen jah’a aseitai, “Israelte mijatsim ding’a thupeh nei chu keima kahi, abolkhel le achonse chu keima kahi, kamite vang kelngoi bang’a themmona ipi aboldoh u hitam? O ka Pakai le ka Pathen’u, nalunghanna kei le ka insung mite chung’a chuhsah tan, namite vang sugam hih hel in.
And Dauid said vnto God, Is it not I that commanded to nomber the people? It is euen I that haue sinned and haue committed euil, but these sheepe what haue they done? O Lord my God, I beseech thee, let thine hande be on me and on my fathers house, and not on thy people for their destruction.
18 Hichun, Pakai vantil’in Gad jah a David achetou a Jebus mipa Araunah changphol a maichamphung asah din thupeh aneitai.
Then the Angel of the Lord commanded Gad to say to Dauid, that Dauid should goe vp, and set vp an altar vnto the Lord in the thresshing floore of Ornan the Iebusite.
19 Hijeh chun David in Gad thulhut bangin Pathen thupeh chu boldin achetou tai.
So Dauid went vp according to the saying of Gad, which he had spoken in the Name of the Lord.
20 Araunah le achapate mi li chun suhlou chang ana den pettah in Vantil chu amu uvin ahileh, achapate chu akichat jeh un ajam uvin akisel gam taove.
And Ornan turned about, and sawe the Angel, and his foure sonnes, that were with him, hid them selues, and Ornan thresshed wheat.
21 Araunah in David chu changphol ahinphah amu phat’in, a bolban dalhan Lengpa chu ana bohkhup tai.
And as Dauid came to Ornan, Ornan looked and sawe Dauid, and went out of the thresshing floore, and bowed himselfe to Dauid with his face to the grounde.
22 David in Araunah jah a hitin aseitai, “Na Changphol mun hi aman lhingsel keiman nape’ng ting, Pakai maicham phungkhat satang’e, chuteng Pakai lunghan na hiche gimna hise jong thip tante”.
And Dauid saide to Ornan, Giue me the place of thy thresshing floore, that I may builde an altar therein vnto the Lord: giue it me for sufficient money, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
23 “Kilah inlang nadei bangtah in mangcha tan Kapu, chujongleh keiman Pumgo thilto a manchah din Bongchalte, maicham mei ti nadin changsuh thing chule, thilto din suhlou chang jong pehtha nge” tin Araunah in David jah a aseitai.
Then Ornan saide vnto Dauid, Take it to thee, and let my lord the King do that which seemeth him good: loe, I giue thee bullockes for burnt offrings, and thresshing instruments for wood, and wheat for meate offring, I giue it all.
24 Ahivangin Leng David in Araunah adonbut in, “keiman aman lhingset napeng ting, nangma thil vang maicham thilto din kilah tha pong’e”.
And King Dauid saide to Ornan, Not so: but I will bye it for sufficient money: for I wil not take that which is thine for the Lord, nor offer burnt offrings without cost.
25 Chuin, David in Araunah chu sana pheng jagup chu changphol man dingin apetai.
So Dauid gaue to Ornan for that place sixe hundreth shekels of golde by weight.
26 Hilaimun hin David in maicham phungkhat asan, pumgo thilto le kichamna maicham asemin, taona amang tan ahile, Pathenin asanpeh hetna din van'a kon meikou ahin sol lhan pumgo thilto jouse akavam hel tai.
And Dauid built there an altar vnto the Lord, and offred burnt offrings, and peace offrings, and called vpon the Lord, and he answered him by fire from heauen vpon the altar of burnt offring.
27 Hijeh chun Pathenin Chemjam ana lam’a kigo vantil chu a chempai a anungkoi din thu ape tai.
And when the Lord had spoken to the Angel, he put vp his sworde againe into his sheath.
28 Pathen in amaicham sem asanpeh ahet phat’in David in jong Araunah changphol mun chun kilhaina maicham asemtai.
At that time when Dauid sawe that the Lord had heard him in the thresshing floore of Ornan the Iebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29 Hiche phat laiya hi, Pakai houbuh maicham le pumgo thilto maicham phung, Mose in gammang laiya anasem chu Gibeon mun a aumpet ahi.
(But the Tabernacle of the Lord which Moses had made in the wildernesse, and the altar of burnt offring were at that season in the hie place at Gibeon.
30 Ahivangin David chun hiche laimun a chu Pathen lung gahol a gache ding chu agel le mithat vantil chemjam toh gotsa dem a anaum jeh chun angapcha pon ahi.
And Dauid could not go before it to aske counsel at God: for he was afraide of the sworde of the Angel of the Lord.)
