1 Chronicles 21
1 Now Satan rose up against Israel, and he incited David so that he would number Israel.
Alò, Satan te kanpe kont Israël e te bourade David pou kontwole moun Israël yo.
2 And David said to Joab and to the leaders of the people: “Go, and number Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan. And bring me the number, so that I may know it.”
Pou sa, David te di a Joab, e a chèf a pèp yo: “Ale konte moun Israël yo soti Beer-Schéba jis rive Dan, e pote ban m chif yo pou m kab konnen fòs kantite yo.”
3 And Joab responded: “May the Lord increase his people a hundred times more than they are. But, my lord the king, are they not all your servants? Why would my lord seek this thing, which may be imputed as a sin to Israel?”
Joab te di: “Ke SENYÈ a kapab ogmante sou pèp li a san fwa ke sa! Men mèt mwen, wa a, èske yo tout se pa sèvitè mèt mwen an? Poukisa mèt mwen an ap chache afè sa a? Poukisa sa ta dwe koz pou Israël ta vin koupab?”
4 But the word of the king prevailed instead. And Joab went away, and he traveled around, through all of Israel. And he returned to Jerusalem.
Malgre sa, pawòl wa a te vin genyen kont pawòl Joab yo. Konsa, Joab te sòti ale nan tout Israël pou te rive Jérusalem.
5 And he gave to David the number of those whom he had surveyed. And the entire number of Israel was found to be one million and one hundred thousand men who could draw the sword; but from Judah, there were four hundred and seventy thousand men of war.
Joab te bay nimewo a tout moun a David yo. Epi tout Israël, mesye ki te rale nepe yo, se te yon milyon-san-mil òm e Juda te kat-san-swasann-dis òm ki te rale nepe yo.
6 But Levi and Benjamin he did not number. For Joab executed the orders of the king unwillingly.
Men li pa t kontwole Lévi avèk Benjamin pami yo, paske kòmand wa a te twouve byen rayisab pou Joab.
7 Then God was displeased with what had been ordered, and so he struck Israel.
“Bondye pa t kontan avèk bagay sa a e pou sa, li te frape Israël.
8 And David said to God: “I have sinned exceedingly in doing this. I beg you take away the iniquity of your servant. For I have acted unwisely.”
David te di a Bondye: Mwen te peche anpil, pwiske mwen te fè bagay sa a. Men souple, koulye a, retire inikite a sèvitè Ou a, paske mwen te fè yon bagay byen sòt.”
9 And the Lord spoke to Gad, the seer of David, saying:
SENYÈ a te pale ak Gad, konseye David la, epi te di l:
10 “Go, and speak to David, and tell him: Thus says the Lord: I give to you the option of three things. Choose the one that you will want, and I will do it to you.”
“Ale pale ak David. Di l: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, “M ap ofri ou twa bagay. Chwazi pou kont ou youn nan yo, ke mwen va fè pou ou.”’”
11 And when Gad had gone to David, he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Choose what you will want:
Konsa, Gad te vin kote David. Li te di l: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, ‘Pran pou ou menm
12 Either three years of famine, or three months for you to flee from your enemies, unable to escape from their sword, or three days for the sword of the Lord and a pestilence to turn within the land, with the Angel of the Lord killing in every part of Israel. Now therefore, see what I should respond to him who sent me.”
oswa, twazan gwo grangou, oswa twa mwa ke ou va chase kraze nèt pa lènmi ou, pandan nepe pa yo ap pran ou nèt, oswa gwo epidemi nan peyi a avèk zanj SENYÈ a k ap detwi toupatou nan tout teritwa Israël la.’ Pou sa, reflechi sou repons ke mwen va retounen bay a Sila ki te voye mwen an.”
13 And David said to Gad: “There are difficulties pressing upon me from every side. But it is better for me to fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies are many, than into the hands of men.”
David te di a Gad: “Mwen byen twouble. Souple, kite mwen tonbe nan men SENYÈ a, paske mizerikòd Li byen gran. Men pa kite mwen tonbe nan men a lòm.”
14 Therefore, the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel. And there fell from Israel seventy thousand men.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te voye epidemi sou Israël. Swasann-di-mil nan mesye Israël yo te tonbe.
15 Also, he sent an Angel to Jerusalem, so that he might strike it. And while he was striking, the Lord saw and took pity over the magnitude of the harm. And he commanded the Angel who was striking: “It is enough. Now let your hand cease.” And the Angel of the Lord was standing beside the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Epi Bondye te voye yon zanj Jérusalem pou detwi vil la, men lè l te prè pou detwi, SENYÈ a te wè, e te lache de gwo dega a. Li te di a zanj ki t ap detwi a: “Sa kont. Alò, lache men ou.” Zanj SENYÈ a t ap kanpe akote glasi vannen ki pou Ornan an, Jebizyen an.
16 And David, lifting up his eyes, saw the Angel of the Lord, standing between heaven and earth with a drawn sword in his hand, turned toward Jerusalem. And both he and those greater by birth, being clothed in haircloth, fell prone upon the ground.
David te leve zye li, e te wè zanj SENYÈ a ki te kanpe antre syèl la avèk tè a, avèk nepe li rale nan men l, lonje sou Jérusalem. Konsa, David avèk ansyen yo te kouvri yo avèk twal sak e te tonbe sou figi yo.
17 And David said to God: “Am I not the one who ordered that the people be numbered? It is I who sinned; it is I who did evil. This flock, what does it deserve? O Lord my God, I beg you to let your hand be turned against me and against the house of my father. But let not your people be struck down.”
David te di a Bondye: “Èske se pa mwen menm ki te kòmande kontwòl a tout pèp la? Anverite, se te mwen ki te peche e ki te fè anpil mal. Men mouton sila yo, se kisa yo menm te fè? O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen an, souple, kite men Ou vin kont mwen avèk lakay zansèt mwen yo, men pa kont pèp Ou a, pou yo ta vin toumante.”
18 Then the Angel of the Lord instructed Gad to tell David that he should ascend and build an altar to the Lord God on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Alò, zanj SENYÈ a te kòmande Gad pou pale David, pou David ta dwe monte pou bati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a sou glasi vannen ki te pou Ornan an, Jebizyen an.
19 Therefore, David ascended, in accord with the word of Gad, which he had spoken to him in the name of the Lord.
Konsa, David te monte selon pawòl ke Gad te pale nan non SENYÈ a.
20 Now when Ornan had looked up and seen the Angel, he and his four sons hid themselves. For at that time, he was threshing wheat upon the floor.
Alò, Ornan te vire fè bak, e li te wè zanj lan. Kat fis pa li yo ki te avè l yo te kache tèt yo. Alò, Ornan t ap bat ble.
21 Then, as David was approaching Ornan, Ornan saw him, and he went out from the threshing floor to meet him. And he reverenced him prone on the ground.
Lè David te vin kote Ornan, Ornan te gade. Li te wè David e te sòti nan glasi vannen an pou te pwostène li menm devan David avèk figi li atè.
22 And David said to him: “Give this place of your threshing floor to me, so that I may build an altar to the Lord upon it. And you shall accept from me as much money as it is worth, so that the plague may cease from the people.”
Alò, David te di a Ornan: “Ban mwen anplasman sila a avèk glasi vannen an, pou m kab bati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a. Pou valè tout pri li, ou va ban mwen li, pou touman sila a kab vin frennen pami pèp la.”
23 But Ornan said to David: “Take it, and may my lord the king do whatever pleases him. Moreover, I give the oxen also as a holocaust, and the plow for wood, and the wheat for a sacrifice. I will offer all freely.”
Ornan te di a David: “Pran li pou kont ou, epi kite mèt mwen an, wa a, fè sa ki bon nan zye l. Gade, mwen bay ou bèf yo pou ofrann brile a ak mas pilon, kon bwa ak ble kon ofrann sereyal la. M ap ba ou tout.”
24 And king David said to him: “By no means shall it be so. Instead, I will give money to you, as much as it is worth. For I must not take it from you, and thereby offer to the Lord holocausts that cost nothing.”
Men Wa David te di a Ornan: “Non, men anverite, mwen va achte li pou tout pri li. Paske mwen p ap pran sa ki pou ou pou SENYÈ a, ni ofri ofrann brile ki pa t koute mwen anyen.”
25 Therefore, David gave Ornan, for the place, the very just weight of six hundred shekels of gold.
Konsa David te bay Ornan sis-san sik an lò selon pwa li pou anplasman an.
26 And he built an altar to the Lord there. And he offered holocausts and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord. And he heeded him by sending fire from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust.
Alò, David te bati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a la, e te ofri ofrann brile yo avèk ofrann lapè yo. Li te rele SENYÈ a, e Li te reponn li avèk dife soti nan syèl la sou lotèl ofrann brile a.
27 And the Lord instructed the Angel, and he turned his sword back into its sheath.
SENYÈ a te kòmande zanj lan e li te remèt nepe li nan fouwo.
28 Then, seeing that the Lord had heeded him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, David immediately immolated victims there.
Nan lè sa, lè David te wè ke SENYÈ a te reponn li sou glasi vannen Ornan an, Jebizyen an. Li te ofri yon sakrifis la.
29 But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses had made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, were at that time on the high place of Gibeon.
Paske tabènak SENYÈ a, ke Moïse te fè nan dezè a ak lotèl ofrann brile a te nan wo plas Gabaon an nan lè sa a.
30 And David was unable to go to the altar, so that he might pray to God there. For he had been struck with an exceedingly great fear, seeing the sword of the Angel of the Lord.
Men David pa t kab ale devan li nan Gabaon pou fè demand Bondye, paske nepe zanj SENYÈ a te bay li gwo lakrent.
