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.”

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.”

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?”

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.”

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

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

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.”

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.”

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.

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.

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.”

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.”

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

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

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.”

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.

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

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.

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.
