< Chronicles I 21 >

1 And the devil 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 king David said to Joab and to the captains of the forces, Go, number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me [the account], and I shall know their number.
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 And Joab said, May the Lord add to his people, a hundred-fold as many as they [are], and [let] the eyes of my lord the king see [it]: all [are] the servants of my lord. Why does my lord seek this thing? [do it not], lest it become a sin 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 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab went out and passed through 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 gave the number of the mustering of the people to David: and all Israel was a million and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and the sons of Juda [were] four hundred and seventy thousand men that 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 he numbered not Levi and Benjamin among them; for the word of the king was painful to 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 [there was] evil in the sight of the Lord respecting this thing; and he struck Israel.
Men, sa David te fè a pa t' fè Bondye plezi. Bondye pini pèp Izrayèl la.
8 And David said to God, I have sinned exceedingly, in that I have done this thing: and now, I pray you, remove the sin of your servant; for I have been exceedingly 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 And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer, saying,
Seyè a pale ak pwofèt Gad, konseye David la, li di l' konsa:
10 Go and speak to David, saying, Thus says the Lord, I bring three things upon you: choose one of them for yourself, and I will do it to you.
-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 And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus says the Lord, Choose for yourself,
Se konsa Gad al jwenn David lakay li, li di l' konsa: -Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Kisa ou vle?
12 either three years of famine, or that you should flee three months from the face of your enemies, and the sword of your enemies [shall be employed] to destroy you, or that the sword of the Lord and pestilence [should be] three days in the land, and the angel of the Lord [shall be] destroying in all the inheritance of Israel. And now consider what I shall answer to him that sent the message.
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 to Gad, They are very hard for me, even [all] the three: let me fall now into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies [are] very abundant, and let me not fall by any means into the hands of man.
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 the Lord brought 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 an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the Lord saw, and repented for the evil, and said to the angel that was destroying, Let it suffice you; withhold your hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the threshing floor of Orna 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 David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord, standing between the earth and the heaven, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem: and David and the elders clothed in sackcloth, fell 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 to God, [Was it] not I [that] gave orders to number the people? and I am the guilty one; I have greatly sinned: but these sheep, what have they done? O Lord God, let your hand be upon me, and upon my father's house, and not on your people for destruction, O Lord!
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 angel of the Lord told Gad to tell David, that he should go up to erect and altar to the Lord, in the threshing floor of Orna 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 And David went up according to the word of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the Lord.
David koute sa Gad te di l' la, li moute lakay Onan jan Seyè a te ba li lòd la.
20 And Orna turned and saw the king; and he hid himself and his four sons with him. Now Orna was 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 And David came to Orna; and Orna came forth from the threshing floor, and did obeisance to 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 to Orna, Give me your place of the threshing floor, and I will build upon it an altar to the Lord: give it me for its worth in money, and the plague shall cease from [among] 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 Orna said to David, Take it to yourself, and let my lord the king do what is right in his eyes: see, I have given the calves for a whole burnt offering, and the plow for wood, and the corn for a meat-offering; I have given all.
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 And king David said to Orna, Nay; for I will surely buy it for its worth in money: for I will not take your property for the Lord, to offer a whole burnt offering to the Lord without cost [to myself].
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 And David gave to Orna for his place six hundred shekels of gold [by] weight.
Se konsa David bay Onan swasant pyès lò pou anplasman glasi a.
26 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings: and he cried to the Lord, and he answered him by fire out of heaven on the altar of whole burnt offerings, and [it] consumed the whole burnt offering.
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 the Lord spoke to the angel; and he put up the 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 the Lord answered him in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite, he also 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 And the tabernacle of the Lord which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of whole burnt offerings, [were] at that time in the high place at Gabaon.
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 enquire of God; for he hasted not because of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
Men, David pa t' ka ale la pou adore Seyè a, paske li te pè nepe zanj Seyè a.
