1 Chronicles 21
1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
Awo Setaani n’atandika okulwana ne Isirayiri, Dawudi n’asendebwasendebwa okubala Abayisirayiri.
2 And David said to Joab and to the princes 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.
Dawudi n’alagira Yowaabu, n’abaduumizi b’eggye nti, “Mugende mubale Abayisirayiri okuva e Beeruseba okutuuka e Ddaani, mukomewo, muntegeeze bwe beenkana.”
3 And Joab said, Jehovah add to his people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold: are they not all, my lord O king, my lord's servants? why does my lord require this thing? why should he become a trespass to Israel?
Naye Yowaabu n’amuddamu nti, “Mukama ayongere ku bantu be, n’okusingawo emirundi kikumi. Mukama wange kabaka, bonna si baweereza ba mukama wange, kale kiki ekimukoza kino? Lwaki aleetera Isirayiri emitawaana?”
4 But the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab departed, and went through all Israel, and came [again] to Jerusalem.
Naye ekigambo kya kabaka ne kisinga ebya Yowaabu, era Yowaabu n’agenda n’abuna Isirayiri yonna, n’akomawo e Yerusaalemi.
5 And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. And all they of Israel were eleven hundred thousand men that drew sword; and of Judah, four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.
Yowaabu n’ategeeza Dawudi omuwendo gw’abasajja abalwanyi. Mu Isirayiri mwalimu abasajja abalwanyi akakadde kamu n’emitwalo kkumi, ng’okwo kw’otadde emitwalo amakumi ana mu emitwalo musanvu abaali mu Yuda.
6 But Levi and Benjamin he did not count among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
Naye teyabalirako Baleevi n’Ababenyamini, kubanga ekiragiro kya kabaka tekyasanyusa Yowaabu.
7 And God was displeased on account of this thing, and he smote Israel.
Ekikolwa ekyo ky’okubala abantu, kyali kya kivve mu maaso ga Katonda era n’abonereza Isirayiri.
8 And David said to God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing; and now, I beseech thee, put away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
Awo Dawudi n’agamba Katonda nti, “Nnyonoonye nnyo olw’ekikolwa ekyo. Kaakano, nkusaba ogyewo obutali butuukirivu obw’omuddu wo, kubanga nkoze ekintu eky’obusirusiru ennyo.”
9 And Jehovah spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,
Mukama Katonda n’ayogera ne nnabbi Gaadi eyaluŋŋamyanga Dawudi nti,
10 Go and speak to David saying, Thus saith Jehovah: I offer thee three [things]; choose one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
“Genda otegeeze Dawudi nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti: nkuteekeddewo eby’okulondako bisatu, weerobozeeko ekimu kye nnaakukola.’”
11 And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah:
Awo Gaadi n’agenda eri Dawudi n’amugamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Weerobozeeko ku bisatu:
12 Choose thee, either three years of famine, or three months to be destroyed before thine adversaries while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee, or three days the sword of Jehovah and the pestilence in the land, and the angel of Jehovah destroying through all the borders of Israel. And now consider what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
emyaka esatu egy’enjala, oba emyezi esatu egy’okumalibwawo abalabe bo, oba ennaku ssatu ez’ekitala kya Mukama Katonda, kawumpuli agwe mu nsi, ne malayika wa Mukama azikirize abantu mu bitundu byonna ebya Isirayiri.’ Kale nno, ssalawo kye mbanziramu oyo antumye.”
13 And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah, for his mercies are very great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.
Dawudi n’addamu Gaadi nti, “Nsobeddwa nnyo. Wakiri ka ngwe mu mukono gwa Mukama Katonda, kubanga okusaasira kwe kungi, okusinga okugwa mu mukono gw’omuntu.”
14 And Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’aweereza kawumpuli ku Isirayiri, abantu emitwalo musanvu ne bafa.
15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; and as he was destroying, Jehovah beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough; withdraw now thine hand. And the angel of Jehovah stood by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Ate era Katonda n’atuma malayika okuzikiriza Yerusaalemi. Naye Mukama bwe yalaba ebyo byonna, n’alumwa nnyo olw’ebyo byonna, n’alagira malayika eyali azikiriza abantu nti, “Ekyo kimala! Zzaayo omukono gwo.” Mu kiseera ekyo malayika wa Mukama Katonda yali ayimiridde kumpi ne gguuliro lya Olunaani Omuyebusi.
16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Jehovah stand between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. And David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.
Dawudi n’ayimusa amaaso ge, n’alaba malayika wa Mukama Katonda ng’ayimiridde wakati w’ensi n’eggulu ng’asowodde ekitala mu mukono gwe, nga kigoloddwa ku Yerusaalemi. Awo Dawudi n’abakadde, nga bambadde ebibukutu ne bavuunama amaaso gaabwe.
17 And David said to God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned and done evil; but these sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, Jehovah my God, be on me and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be smitten.
Dawudi n’agamba Katonda nti, “Si nze nalagira abantu babalibwe? Nze nnyonoonye, era nkoze ebibi. Bano ndiga, kiki kye bakoze? Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, ombonereze nze ne nnyumba yange, naye toganya kawumpuli ono kusigala ku bantu bo.”
18 And the angel of Jehovah commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up and rear an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Awo malayika wa Mukama Katonda n’alagira Gaadi okugamba Dawudi ayambuke, azimbire Mukama ekyoto ku gguuliro lya Olunaani Omuyebusi.
19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he had spoken in the name of Jehovah.
Awo Dawudi n’agondera ekigambo Gaadi kye yayogera mu linnya lya Mukama Katonda, n’ayambuka.
20 And Ornan turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
Laba Olunaani bwe yali ng’awuula eŋŋaano, n’akyuka n’alaba malayika wa Mukama, ne batabani be abana abaaliwo ne beekweka.
21 And David came to Ornan, and Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself to David with [his] face to the ground.
Awo Dawudi bwe yasembera okumpi ne Olunaani we yali, Olunaani n’amulaba, n’ava mu gguuliro, n’amuvuunamira.
22 And David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of the threshing-floor, that I may build an altar in it to Jehovah: grant it to me for the full money, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
Dawudi n’amugamba nti, “Mpa ekifo egguuliro lyo mwe liri, nzimbire Mukama ekyoto, nange n’asasula omuwendo gwakyo gwonna, kawumpuli ave ku bantu.”
23 And Ornan said to David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his sight: see, I give the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-sledges for wood, and the wheat for the oblation; I give it all.
Olunaani n’addamu Dawudi nti, “Kitwale! Mukama wange kabaka akole nga bw’asiima. Laba, nzija kukuwa ziseddume z’onoowaayo ng’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, n’ebintu ebiwuula ng’enku, n’eŋŋaano okuba ekiweebwayo eky’obutta. Ebyo byonna nzija kubikuwa.”
24 And king David said to Ornan, No; but I will in any case buy [them] for the full money; for I will not take that which is thine for Jehovah, to offer up a burnt-offering without cost.
Naye Dawudi n’agamba Olunaani nti, “Nedda, maliridde okusasula omuwendo omujjuvu. Sijja kutwalira Mukama ekikyo, wadde okuwaayo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa bye sisasulidde.”
25 And David gave to Ornan for the place in shekels of gold the weight of six hundred [shekels].
Awo Dawudi n’agula ekifo kya Olunaani kilo musanvu eza zaabu.
26 And David built there an altar to Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon Jehovah; and he answered him from the heavens by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.
Dawudi n’azimbira Mukama ekyoto mu kifo ekyo, era n’awaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, ng’akoowoola Mukama, era Mukama n’amuddamu n’omuliro okuva mu ggulu ogwaka ku kyoto eky’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa.
27 And Jehovah spoke to the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’alagira malayika okuzaayo ekitala kye mu kiraato kyakyo.
28 At that time when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
Okuva mu kiseera ekyo, Mukama bwe yaddamu Dawudi ku gguuliro lya Olunaani Omuyebusi, Dawudi n’aweerangayo ssaddaaka eyo.
29 And the tabernacle of Jehovah, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
Mu biro ebyo Eweema ya Mukama, Musa gye yali azimbidde mu ddungu, n’ekyoto eky’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa byali mu kifo ekigulumivu e Gibyoni.
30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Jehovah.
Naye Dawudi yali tasobola kugendayo kwebuuza ku Katonda, kubanga yali atya ekitala kya malayika wa Mukama Katonda.
