2 Samuel 24

1 Mirima nochako omako Jehova Nyasaye kod Israel omiyo nochwalo Daudi motimo gimoro madihinygi, kowachone niya, “Dhiyo mondo ikwan jo-Israel gi jo-Juda.”

Nthawi inanso Yehova anawakwiyira Aisraeli ndipo anawutsa mtima wa Davide kuti awavutitse ndipo anati, “Pita kawerenge Aisraeli ndi Ayuda.”

2 Omiyo ruoth nowachone Joab kod jotend jolweny mane ni kode niya, “Dhiuru e dhoudi duto mag Israel kochakore Dan nyaka Bersheba mondo ukwan jolweny, eka angʼe ni gin ji adi.”

Choncho mfumu inati kwa Yowabu pamodzi ndi atsogoleri a ankhondo amene anali nawo. “Pitani pakati pa mafuko onse a Israeli kuyambira ku Dani mpaka ku Beeriseba kuti mukawerenge anthu omenya nkhondo ndi cholinga choti ndidziwe chiwerengero chawo.”

3 To Joab nodwoko ruoth niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi med jolweny nyadi mia achiel ka ruodha ma en ruoth neno gi wangʼe. To en angʼo momiyo ruoth ma en ruodha didwar timo gima chal kama?”

Koma Yowabu anayankha mfumu kuti, “Yehova Mulungu wanu achulukitse ankhondo anu kukhala miyandamiyanda, ndipo alole inu mbuye wanga mfumu mudzazione zimenezi. Koma nʼchifukwa chiyani inu mbuye wanga mfumu mukufuna kuchita zimenezi?”

4 Kata kamano ruoth notamo Joab gi jotelo mag lweny; kuom mano ne giwuok e nyim ruoth mondo gidhi gikwan jolweny e Israel.

Komabe mawu a mfumu anapambana mawu a Yowabu ndi atsogoleri a ankhondo. Choncho anachoka pamaso pa mfumu kupita kukawerenga anthu omenya nkhondo mu Israeli.

5 Bangʼ kane gisengʼado aora Jordan, negibuoro machiegni gi Aroer, man yo milambo mar dala manie geng holo, eka negikadho Gad ma gidhi nyaka Jazer.

Atawoloka Yorodani, iwo anamanga misasa yawo pafupi ndi Aroeri kummwera kwa mzinda wa ku chigwa ndipo kenaka iwo anapita ku dziko la Gadi mpaka ku Yazeri.

6 Negidhi Gilead kod gwenge mag Tatim Hodshi, mi gikadho nyaka Dan Jaan kendo negigomo ka gichiko Sidon.

Iwo anapita ku Giliyadi ndi ku chigwa cha Tahitimu Hodisi ndipo anapitirira mpaka ku Dani Yaani ndi madera ozungulira Sidoni.

7 Bangʼe negichiko dala mochiel gohinga mar Turo kod dala duto mag jo-Hivi kod mago mag jo-Kanaan. Mogik, negidhi Bersheba man Negev e piny Juda.

Kenaka iwo anapita molunjika linga la ku Turo ndi ku mizinda yonse ya Ahivi ndi Akanaani. Pomaliza anapita ku Beeriseba ku Negevi wa ku Yuda.

8 Bangʼ dweche ochiko gi ndalo piero ariyo kane gisewuotho e piny duto, negidwogo Jerusalem.

Atayendayenda mʼdziko lonse anabwerera ku Yerusalemu patapita miyezi isanu ndi inayi ndi masiku makumi awiri.

9 Joab nokelo ne ruoth kar kwan jolweny kama: Kuom jo-Israel ne nitie ji alufu mia aboro maroteke mane nyalo kedo gi ligangla to kuom jo-Juda ne nitie ji alufu mia abich.

Yowabu anapereka chiwerengero cha anthu ankhondo kwa mfumu: Mu Israeli munali anthu 800,000 amphamvu amene amadziwa kugwiritsa ntchito lupanga ndipo mu Yuda munali anthu 500,000.

10 Daudi chunye nochandore bangʼ kane osekwano jolweny, mi nowachone Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Asetimo richo maduongʼ kuom gima asetimoni. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, akwayi mondo igol richoni kuom jatichni, nimar asetimo gima ofuwo.”

Davide anatsutsika mu mtima mwake atatha kuwerenga anthuwo ndipo anapemphera kwa Yehova kuti, “Ine ndachimwa kwambiri pa zimene ndachita. Tsono Yehova, ndikupempha kuti mukhululuke kulakwa kwa mtumiki wanu. Ine ndachita zopusa kwambiri.”

11 Kane Daudi pok ochiewo kinyne gokinyi, wach Jehova Nyasaye nosebiro ne Gad janabi, mane en jakor wach mar Daudi:

Davide asanadzuke mmawa mwake mawu a Yehova anafika kwa mneneri Gadi, mlosi wa Davide kuti,

12 “Dhiyo iwach ni Daudi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Aketo weche adek e nyimi, yier achiel kuomgi monego atimni.’”

“Pita ukamuwuze Davide kuti, ‘Yehova akuti, Ine ndikukupatsa zinthu zitatu izi. Usankhepo chimodzi pa zimenezi choti ndikuchitire.’”

13 Omiyo Gad nodhi ir Daudi mowachone niya, “Diyier mondo kech omak piny kuom higni adek? Koso diyier dweche adek kiringo wasiki malawi? Koso diyier ndalo adek mag masira? Koro par ane mondo imiya dwoko matero ni ngʼama ne oora.”

Choncho Gadi anapita kwa Davide ndipo anati kwa iye, “Kodi mungakonde kuti mʼdziko mwanu mukhale njala kwa zaka zitatu? Kapena kuti mukhale mukuthawa adani anu kwa miyezi itatu? Kapena kuti mʼdziko muno mukhale mliri kwa masiku atatu? Tsopano, ganizirani bwino ndipo musankhe chomwe mudzamuyankhe amene wandituma.”

14 Daudi nodwoko Gad niya, “An-gi chuny lit ahinya. Ber mondo alwar e lwet Jehova Nyasaye, nikech ngʼwonone duongʼ, to kik iweya alwar e lwet ji.”

Davide anati kwa Gadi, “Ine ndavutika kwambiri mu mtima mwanga. Ife atilange ndi Yehova pakuti chifundo chake ndi chachikulu, koma ndisalangidwe ndi anthu.”

15 Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nokelo masira kuom jo-Israel chakre okinyino nyaka kinde mane oketi norumo, kendo ji alufu piero abiriyo notho chakre Dan nyaka Bersheba.

Choncho Yehova anabweretsa mliri pa Aisraeli, kuyambira mmawa mpaka pa nthawi imene anafuna mwini wake, ndipo unapha anthu 70,000 kuyambira ku Dani mpaka ku Beeriseba.

16 To kane malaika orieyo bade mondo oketh Jerusalem, chuny Jehova Nyasaye ne lit nikech masirano mi nowacho ni malaika mane nego ji niya, “Oromo! Dwok lweti piny.” Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye noyudo ochungʼ e kar dino cham mar Arauna ja-Jebus.

Pamene mngelo anatambasula dzanja lake kuti awononge Yerusalemu, Yehova anamva chisoni chifukwa cha zowawazo ndipo anati kwa mngelo amene ankawononga anthu uja, “Basi kwakwanira! Leka kuwononga.” Nthawi imeneyo mngelo wa Yehova anali atayima pamalo opunthira tirigu a Arauna Myebusi.

17 Kane Daudi oneno malaika mane nego ji, nowachone Jehova Nyasaye niya, “An ema asetimo richo kendo aseketho. Magi to mana rombe, angʼo magiseketho? Akwayi ni an ema ikuma kaachiel gi joga to kik iwe masira odongʼ kuom jogi.”

Davide ataona mngelo amene ankakantha anthu uja, anati kwa Yehova, “Ine ndi amene ndachimwa. Ine mʼbusa ndiye ndachita zoyipa. Anthuwa ali ngati nkhosa zosalakwa. Kodi iwowa achita chiyani? Langani ineyo pamodzi ndi banja langa.”

18 Chiengʼno Gad nodhi ir Daudi mowachone niya, “Dhi malo mondo iger kendo mar misango ni Jehova Nyasaye e laru mar dino mar Arauna ja-Jebus.”

Tsiku limenelo Gadi anapita kwa Davide ndi kukanena kuti, “Pitani kamangeni guwa lansembe la Yehova pamalo opunthira tirigu a Arauna Myebusi.”

19 Omiyo Daudi nodhi malo mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosechike kokadho kuom Gad.

Ndipo Davide anapita monga momwe Yehova anamulamulira kudzera mwa Gadi.

20 Kane Arauna ogoyo wangʼe moneno ruoth gi joge kabiro ire, nowuok mokulore e nyim ruoth nyaka e lowo.

Arauna atayangʼana ndi kuona mfumu ndi anthu ake akubwera kumene kunali iye, iyeyo anatuluka ndi kuwerama pamaso pa mfumu mpaka nkhope yake kugunda pansi.

21 Arauna nopenje niya, “Angʼo mokelo ruodha ma en ruoth ir jatichne?” Daudi nodwoke niya, “Abiro ngʼiewo laru mar dino cham, mondo agerie kendo mar misango ni Jehova Nyasaye, eka tho manego ji orum.”

Arauna anati, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mbuye wanga mfumu mwabwera kwa mtumiki wanu?” Davide anayankha kuti, “Kudzagula malo ako opunthira tirigu kuti ndimangire Yehova guwa lansembe kuti mliri uli pa anthuwa usiye.”

22 Arauna nowacho ne Daudi niya, “We ruodha ma en ruoth okawe kendo otim kode gima chunye dwaro mondo otimgo misango. Rwedhi mag timo misango miwangʼo pep kod yiend dino kaachiel gi jok minyalo tigo kaka yien nika.

Arauna anati kwa Davide, “Mbuye wanga mfumu mutenge chilichonse chimene chikukondweretseni ndi kuchipereka nsembe. Nazi ngʼombe zazimuna za nsembe yopsereza, nazi zopunthira tirigu ndi magoli angʼombe kuti zikhale nkhuni.

23 Gigi duto, yaye ruoth, Arauna ema osechiwo ne ruoth.” Arauna nomedo wachone niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi yie kodi.”

Inu mfumu, Arauna akupereka zonsezi kwa inu mfumu.” Arauna anatinso kwa iye, “Yehova Mulungu wanu akuvomerezeni.”

24 To ruoth nodwoko Arauna niya, “Ooyo, nyaka achuli. Ok abi timo ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha misango miwangʼo pep gi gik mayudo nono.” Omiyo Daudi nochulo fedha madirom nus kilo kongʼiewogo laru mar dino kaachiel gi rwedhi.

Koma mfumu inayankha Arauna kuti, “Ayi, Ine ndikunenetsa kuti ndikulipira. Sindidzapereka kwa Yehova Mulungu wanga nsembe yopsereza imene sindinavutikire.” Kotero Davide anagula malo wopunthira tiriguwo ndi ngʼombe ndipo anapereka kwa Araunayo masekeli asiliva makumi asanu.

25 Daudi nogero kendo mar misango ni Jehova Nyasaye kanyo kendo nochiwo misengini miwangʼo pep kaachiel misengini mag lalruok. Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowinjo lamo mane olemogo ni piny, kendo nogengʼo masira mane ni e piny Israel.

Davide anamanga guwa lansembe la Yehova pamenepo ndipo anaperekapo nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano. Ndipo Yehova anayankha pempherolo mʼmalo mwa dziko lonse, ndipo mliri unatha pa Aisraeli.
