USathane wasemelana labako-Israyeli njalo wafuqela uDavida ukuba abale abantu bako-Israyeli.
2 大卫就吩咐约押和民中的首领说:“你们去数点以色列人,从别是巴直到但,回来告诉我,我好知道他们的数目。”
Ngakho uDavida wathi kuJowabi kanye labalawuli bamabutho, “Hambani liyebala u-Israyeli kusukela eBherishebha kusiya koDani. Beseliphenduka lizongitshela ukuze ngazi ukuthi bangaki khonale.”
3 约押说:“愿耶和华使他的百姓比现在加增百倍。我主我王啊,他们不都是你的仆人吗?我主为何吩咐行这事,为何使以色列人陷在罪里呢?”
Kodwa uJowabi waphendula wathi, “Sengathi uThixo angandisa amabutho akhe ngokuphindwe okwedlula ikhulu. Mhlekazi wami nkosi, kambe kabasibantu benkosi yami bonke laba? Inkosi yami ifunelani ukukwenza lokhu? Kungani ithanda ukwehlisela icala phezu kwabako-Israyeli?”
4 但王的命令胜过约押。约押就出去,走遍以色列地,回到耶路撒冷,
Loba kwakunjalo, uJowabi wakhulelwa yilizwi lenkosi, ngakho uJowabi walibhoda lonke elako-Israyeli wasebuyela eJerusalema.
5 将百姓的总数奏告大卫:以色列人拿刀的有一百一十万;犹大人拿刀的有四十七万。
UJowabi wafika wabikela uDavida inani lamadoda ayengalwa empini: Kulolonke elako-Israyeli kwakulamadoda ayisigidi lezinkulungwane ezilikhulu ayelakho ukuthi angayiphatha inkemba, kubalwa labazinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane alamatshumi ayisikhombisa koJuda.
6 惟有利未人和便雅悯人没有数在其中,因为约押厌恶王的这命令。
Kodwa ekubaleni kwakhe uJowabi kazange ahlanganise abaLevi labakaBhenjamini, ngoba umlayo wenkosi wawumnenga.
Kanti njalo lowomlayo wawuyisono phambi kukaNkulunkulu, lakanye wamjezisa u-Israyeli.
8 大卫祷告 神说:“我行这事大有罪了!现在求你除掉仆人的罪孽,因我所行的甚是愚昧。”
Ngakho uDavida wasesithi kuNkulunkulu, “Ngonile kakhulu phambi kwakho ngokwenza lokhu. Ngakho, ngiyakuncenga, susa umlandu lo encekwini yakho. Ngenze ubuwula obukhulu kakhulu.”
UThixo wakhuluma loGadi, umboni kaDavida, wathi:
10 “你去告诉大卫说,耶和华如此说:我有三样灾,随你选择一样,我好降与你。”
“Hamba uyetshela uDavida ukuthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: Ngikunika ukuthi ukhethe phakathi kokuthathu. Khetha okukodwa okumele ngikwehlisele khona mina.’”
11 于是,迦得来见大卫,对他说:“耶和华如此说:‘你可以随意选择:
Ngakho uGadi waya kuDavida wathi kuye, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Zikhethele wena okufunayo:
12 或三年的饥荒;或败在你敌人面前,被敌人的刀追杀三个月;或在你国中有耶和华的刀,就是三日的瘟疫,耶和华的使者在以色列的四境施行毁灭。’现在你要想一想,我好回复那差我来的。”
iminyaka emithathu yendlala, loba izinyanga ezintathu zokududulwa uxotshwa yizitha zakho, ngenkemba zazo zikukhulela, loba insuku ezintathu zokumelana lenkemba kaThixo, kuyikuthi kuyabe kuyisifo elizweni, ingilosi kaThixo iletha incithakalo kulolonke elako-Israyeli.’ Ngakho, khathesi khetha ukuthi ngifike ngithini kulo ongithumileyo.”
13 大卫对迦得说:“我甚为难。我愿落在耶和华的手里,因为他有丰盛的怜悯;我不愿落在人的手里。”
UDavida wathi kuGadi, “Ngisosizini olukhulu kakhulu; kungangcono ngizinikele ezandleni zikaThixo, ngoba umusa wakhe mkhulu kakhulu; kodwa unganginikeli ezandleni zabantu.”
14 于是,耶和华降瘟疫与以色列人,以色列人就死了七万。
Ngakho uThixo wathumela isifo ko-Israyeli, kwafa amadoda azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa ko-Israyeli.
15 神差遣使者去灭耶路撒冷,刚要灭的时候,耶和华看见后悔,就不降这灾了,吩咐灭城的天使说:“够了,住手吧!”那时,耶和华的使者站在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场那里。
Njalo uNkulunkulu wasethumela ingilosi ukuba iyechitha iJerusalema. Kodwa ingilosi ithe isakwenza lokho, uThixo wazisola ngencithakalo eyayizakwenzakala wahle wakhuza ingilosi eyayizabhubhisa abantu wathi, “Kwanele! Susa isandla sakho.” Ingilosi kaThixo ngalesosikhathi yayisimi esizeni sika-Onani umJebusi.
16 大卫举目,看见耶和华的使者站在天地间,手里有拔出来的刀,伸在耶路撒冷以上。大卫和长老都身穿麻衣,面伏于地。
UDavida wakhangela phezulu wabona ingilosi kaThixo imi phakathi kwezulu lomhlaba, iphethe inkemba esandleni sayo phezu kweJerusalema. Ngakho uDavida labadala, begqoke amasaka, bawa phansi ngobuso.
17 大卫祷告 神说:“吩咐数点百姓的不是我吗?我犯了罪,行了恶,但这群羊做了什么呢?愿耶和华—我 神的手攻击我和我的父家,不要攻击你的民,降瘟疫与他们。”
UDavida wathi kuNkulunkulu, “Angithi yimi engithe akubalwe amadoda okulwa na? Yimi engonileyo ngadala isono. Laba abasilutho yizimvu ezilandelayo. Benzeni? Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wami, isandla sakho asiwele phezu kwami labendlu yami, kodwa akuthi isifo singasali ebantwini bakho.”
18 耶和华的使者吩咐迦得去告诉大卫,叫他上去,在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场上为耶和华筑一座坛;
Ngakho ingilosi kaThixo yathuma uGadi ukuthi ayetshela uDavida ukuthi ayekwakha i-alithari likaThixo esizeni sika-Onani umJebusi.
Lakanye uDavida walalela ilizwi elakhitshwa nguGadi ngebizo likaThixo.
20 那时阿珥楠正打麦子,回头看见天使,就和他四个儿子都藏起来了。
U-Onani esabhula ingqoloyi, wanyemukula wabona ingilosi; amadodana akhe amane ayelaye acatsha.
21 大卫到了阿珥楠那里,阿珥楠看见大卫,就从禾场上出去,脸伏于地,向他下拜。
Kwasekufika uDavida, kuthe u-Onani embona, watshiya ukubhula wayakhothamela uDavida elokhu ebuso bukhothamele phansi.
22 大卫对阿珥楠说:“你将这禾场与相连之地卖给我,我必给你足价,我好在其上为耶和华筑一座坛,使民间的瘟疫止住。”
UDavida wathi kuye, “Ake ungivumele ngibone isiza sakho sokubhulela amabele ukuze ngakhe i-alithari likaThixo, ukuze isifo esisebantwini simiswe. Ngithengisela sona ngentengo yaso egcweleyo.”
23 阿珥楠对大卫说:“你可以用这禾场,愿我主我王照你所喜悦的去行。我也将牛给你作燔祭,把打粮的器具当柴烧,拿麦子作素祭。这些我都送给你。”
U-Onani wathi kuDavida, “Sithathe! Inkosi yami kayenze lokho ebona kuyithokozisa. Khangela, mina ngizaletha inkabi zomnikelo wokutshiswa, lemibhulo yokubhula izakuba zinkuni, ingqoloyi izakuba ngumnikelo wamabele. Konke lokhu ngiyakunika.”
24 大卫王对阿珥楠说:“不然!我必要用足价向你买。我不用你的物献给耶和华,也不用白得之物献为燔祭。”
Kodwa inkosi uDavida yathi ku-Onani, “Hayi, ngifuna ukuthenga ngentengo egcweleyo. Angiyikuthatha okuya kuThixo okungokwakho, angiyikunikela umnikelo wokutshiswa engingawuthenganga.”
25 于是大卫为那块地平了六百舍客勒金子给阿珥楠。
Ngakho uDavida wanika u-Onani amashekeli egolide angamakhulu ayisithupha ethenga leyondawo.
26 大卫在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛,献燔祭和平安祭,求告耶和华。耶和华就应允他,使火从天降在燔祭坛上。
UDavida wakhela uThixo i-alithari kuleyondawo wanikela iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yobudlelwano. Wakhuleka kuThixo, uThixo wamphendula ngomlilo uvela ezulwini phezu kwe-alithari lomnikelo wokutshiswa.
Ngakho uThixo wakhuluma lengilosi, yona yasibuyisela inkemba yayo esikhwameni sayo.
28 那时,大卫见耶和华在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场上应允了他,就在那里献祭。
Ngalesosikhathi, uDavida esebonile ukuthi uThixo wayemphendule esizeni sika-Onani umJebusi, wanikela iminikelo kuleyondawo.
29 摩西在旷野所造之耶和华的帐幕和燔祭坛都在基遍的高处;
Ithabanikeli likaThixo, elalakhiwe nguMosi enkangala, kanye le-alithari leminikelo yokutshiswa ngalesosikhathi kwakusendaweni ephakemeyo eGibhiyoni.
30 只是大卫不敢前去求问 神,因为惧怕耶和华使者的刀。
Kodwa uDavida wehluleka ukuya khona ukuze abuze kuNkulunkulu ngoba wayesesaba inkemba yengilosi kaThixo.
