I Chronicles 21

And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.

Na ka tu a Hatana hei hoariri mo Iharaira, a ka whakakiki a Rawiri ki te tatau i a Iharaira.

And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer–sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.

Na ka ki a Rawiri ki a Ioapa ratou ko nga rangatira o te iwi, Tikina taua a Iharaira, o Peerehepa atu a tae noa ki Rana, ka kawe mai ai i to ratou tokomaha ki ahau, kia mohio ai ahau.

And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?

Ano ra ko Ioapa, Ma Ihowa e mea tana iwi kia rau noa atu i a ratou e noho nei, otiia, e toku ariki, e te kingi, ehara ianei ratou katoa i te pononga na toku ariki? He aha ra tenei i whaia ai e toku ariki? he aha i waiho ai hei take he mo Iharaira?

Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.

Otiia kaha tonu ta te kingi kupu i ta Ioapa. Heoi ka turia atu e Ioapa, haereerea ana e ia a Iharaira katoa; kua tae ki Hiruharama.

And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.

Na ka homai e Ioapa te tokomaha o te iwi i taua ki a Rawiri. Na a Iharaira katoa, he mano nga mano me nga mano kotahi rau, he hunga unu hoari; na a Hura, e wha rau e whitu tekau mano nga tangata unu hoari.

But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.

Ko Riwai ia raua ko Pineamine, kihai i taua e ia i roto i a ratou; he mea whakarihariha hoki ki a Ioapa te kupu a te kingi.

And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.

Na ka riri te Atua ki tenei mea; a patua ana a Iharaira e ia.

And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

Na ka mea a Rawiri ki te Atua, Nui atu toku hara i ahau i mea i tenei mea: na, tena, kia whakarerea noatia iho te he o tau pononga, nui atu hoki toku kuware.

And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,

Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki ta Rawiri matakite, ki a Kara; i ki ia,

Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.

Haere, ki atu ki a Rawiri, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, E toru enei mea ka whakaaria atu nei e ahau ki a koe, whiriwhiria tetahi o enei mau, a ka meatia e ahau ki a koe.

So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee

Heoi, ko te taenga o Kara ki a Rawiri, ka mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Whiriwhiria mau,

Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.

Kia toru ranei nga tau matekai; kia toru ranei nga marama e whakangaromia ai koe i te aroaro o ou hoariri, me te hoari a ou hoa whawhai e hopu ana i a koe? kia toru ranei nga ra o te hoari a Ihowa, ara o te mate uruta ki te whenua, me te anahera a Ihowa e whakangaro ana, i nga rohe katoa o Iharaira. Na whakaaroa te kupu e whakahokia e ahau ki toku kaitono mai.

And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.

Ano ra ko Rawiri ki a Kara, He noa iho oku whakaaro; na kia taka ahau ki te ringa o Ihowa, he nui hoki ana mahi aroha; kaua hoki ahau e taka ki te ringa tangata.

So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.

Heoi whakapangia ana e Ihowa he mate uruta ki a Iharaira: a hinga iho o Iharaira e whitu tekau mano tangata.

And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

I tonoa ano e te Atua he anahera ki Hiruharama whakangaro ai; a ia a ia e mea ana ki te whakangaro, ka titiro a Ihowa, na ka puta ke to Ihowa whakaaro mo te kino, a ka mea ki te anahera whakangaro, Kua nui: kati tou ringa. Na tu ana te anahera a Ihowa i te patunga witi a Oronana Iepuhi.

And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.

Na ka ara nga kanohi o Rawiri, ka kite i te anahera a Ihowa e tu ana i te takiwa o te whenua, o te rangi, me tana hoari, unu rawa, i tona ringa, e totoro ana ki runga i Hiruharama. Katahi ka tapapa a Rawiri ratou ko nga kaumatua, he kakahu tarat ara te hipoki.

And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.

Ka mea a Rawiri ki te Atua, He teka ianei naku i ki kia taua te iwi? Ko ahau tenei te mea i hara, i mahi nei i te he; ko enei hipi ia, i aha ratou? E Ihowa, e toku Atua, kia pa ra tou ringa ki ahau, ki te whare ano o toku papa; kauaka ia ki tau iwi, hei whiu mo ratou.

Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

Katahi ka korero te anahera a Ihowa ki a Kara kia mea ia ki a Rawiri, kia haere a Rawiri ki runga, ki te whakaara i tetahi aata ki a Ihowa ki te patunga witi a Oronana Iepuhi.

And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the LORD.

Na haere ana a Rawiri i ta Kara korero i korero ai ia i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa.

And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

Na ka tahuri ake a Oronana, ka kite i te anahera; a piri ana ia, ratou ko ana tama tokowha. Na i te patu witi a Oronana.

And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.

Na, i a Rawiri e haere ana ki a Oronana, ka titiro a Oronana a ka kite i a Rawiri, na puta ana ia i te patunga witi, piko ana ki a Rawiri, tapapa ana ki te whenua.

Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.

Katahi ka mea a Rawiri ki a Oronana, Homai ki ahau te wahi i tenei patunga witi, kia hanga ai e ahau he aata ki a Ihowa; kia tino rite te utu ka homai ai e koe ki ahau, kia mutu ai te whiunga o te iwi.

And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all.

Na ka mea a Oronana ki a Rawiri, Me tango mau, a ma toku ariki, ma te kingi e mea te mea e pai ana ki tana titiro; nana, ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe nga kau hei tahunga tinana, me nga patu witi hei wahie, me te witi ano hei whakahere totokore; ka h oatu katoa e ahau.

And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.

Na ka mea a Kingi Rawiri ki a Oronana, Kahore; engari ka hokona e ahau kia rite ano nga utu: e kore hoki ahau e tango i tau ma Ihowa, e kore hoki e whakaeke i nga mea kihai i utua hei tahunga tinana.

So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.

Heoi e ono rau nga hekere koura, he mea pauna, i hoatu e Rawiri ki a Oronana mo taua wahi.

And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.

A hanga ana e Rawiri he aata ki reira ma Ihowa, whakaekea ana he tahunga tinana, he whakahere mo te pai, a karanga ana ki a Ihowa. Na ka whakahokia tana i te rangi, he ahi ki runga ki te aata tahunga tinana.

And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.

Na ka korero a Ihowa ki te anahera, a whakahokia ana e ia tana hoari ki tona takotoranga.

At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.

I taua wa ano, i te kitenga o Rawiri kua whakarongo a Ihowa ki a ia i te patunga witi a Oronana Iephui, ka mea patunga tapu ia ki reira.

For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon.

Ko te tapenakara hoki o Ihowa i hanga nei e Mohi ki te koraha, me te aata tahunga tinana, i te wahi tiketike i Kipeono i taua wa.

But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

Kihai ia a Rawiri i ahei te haere ki mua o taua aata ki te rapu i ta te Atua; i wehi hoki ia i te hoari a te anahera a Ihowa.
