1 Chronicles 21
1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
Satani akamukira Israeri akakurudzira Dhavhidhi kuti averenge vaIsraeri.
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.
Saka Dhavhidhi akati kuna Joabhu navatungamiri vamapoka avarwi, “Endai mundoverenga vaIsraeri vose kubva kuBheerishebha kusvikira kuDhani. Uye mugozondiudza kuitira kuti ndizive kuti vangani variko.”
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?
Asi Joabhu akapindura akati, “Jehovha ngavawedzere uwandu hwavarwi vake kakapetwa kazana. Ishe wangu mambo, ava vose havasi pasi petsoka dzenyu here? Seiko ishe wangu muchida kuita izvi? Sei muchida kuuyisa mhosva kuna Israeri?”
4 But the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab departed, and went through all Israel, and came [again] to Jerusalem.
Zvisinei, shoko ramambo rakakunda raJoabhu, saka Joabhu akabvapo akaenda muIsraeri yose uye akadzokera kuJerusarema.
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.
Joabhu akataurira Dhavhidhi uwandu hwavarwi achiti muIsraeri yose maiva navanhu vaigona kubata munondo vaisvika miriyoni nezana rezviuru zvavarume, vachisanganisira zviuru mazana mana nemakumi manomwe muJudha.
6 But Levi and Benjamin he did not count among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
Asi Joabhu haana kusanganisira Revhi naBhenjamini mukuverenga uku, nokuti kurayira kwamambo kwakanga kwakaipa kwazvo kwaari.
7 And God was displeased on account of this thing, and he smote Israel.
Kurayira uku kwakanga kwakaipawo pamberi paMwari, saka akaranga Israeri.
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.
Ipapo Dhavhidhi akati kuna Mwari, “Ndakatadza zvikuru pandakaita chinhu ichi. Zvino ndinokumbirawo kuti mubvise kuipa kwomuranda wenyu. Ndakaita sebenzi kwazvo.”
9 And Jehovah spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,
Jehovha akati kuna Gadhi muoni waDhavhidhi,
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.
“Enda undotaurira Dhavhidhi kuti, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha: Ndinokupa zvinhu zvitatu zvokusarudza. Zvisarudzire chaunoda kuti ndikuitire ndichikuranga.’”
11 And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah:
Saka Gadhi akaenda kuna Dhavhidhi akati kwaari, “Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Sarudza pakati peizvi:
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.
Makore matatu enzara, mwedzi mitatu yokutsvairwa pamberi pavavengi vako, minondo yavo ichikuparadzai, kana kuti mazuva matatu omunondo waJehovha, mazuva edenda munyika mutumwa waJehovha achiparadza panyika yose yaIsraeri.’ Zvino saka zvisarudzirei kuti ndinganopindura sei uyo akandituma.”
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.
Dhavhidhi akati kuna Gadhi, “Ndiri mukutambudzika kukuru kwazvo. Rega hako ndiwire mumaoko aJehovha nokuti tsitsi dzake dzakakura kwazvo, asi musandirega ndichiwira mumaoko avanhu.”
14 And Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
Saka Jehovha akatumira denda muIsraeri uye zviuru makumi manomwe zvavarume veIsraeri vakawira pasi vakafa.
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.
Uye Jehovha akatuma mutumwa kuti aparadze Jerusarema, asi mutumwa uya paakanga achiita izvi Jehovha akazviona uye akazvidemba nokuda kwedambudziko iri akati kumutumwa aiparadza vanhu, “Zvakwana! Dzosa ruoko rwako.” Mutumwa waJehovha ipapo akanga akamira paburiro raArauna muJebhusi.
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.
Dhavhidhi akatarisa kumusoro akaona mutumwa waJehovha akamira pakati pedenga nenyika, aine munondo muruoko rwake akarutambanudzira pamusoro peJerusarema. Ipapo Dhavhidhi navakuru vose vakapfeka masaga, vakawira pasi vakatsikitsira zviso zvavo.
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.
Dhavhidhi akati kuna Mwari, “Handisini here ndakarayira kuti varwi vose vaverengwe? Ndini ndakatadza ndikaita zvakaipa, ava vanongova makwai chete. Vakaiteiko? Haiwa Jehovha, Mwari wangu, regai ruoko rwenyu ruwire pandiri ini nemhuri yangu, asi musarega denda iri riri pamusoro pavanhu venyu.”
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.
Ipapo mutumwa waJehovha akarayira Gadhi kuti ataurire Dhavhidhi kuti akwire andovakira Jehovha aritari muburiro raArauna muJebhusi.
19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he had spoken in the name of Jehovah.
Saka Dhavhidhi akakwidza mukuteerera shoko rakanga rataurwa naGadhi muzita raJehovha.
20 And Ornan turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
Arauna paakanga achipura zviyo, akacheuka akaona mutumwa; vanakomana vake vana vaaiva navo vakanohwanda.
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.
Ipapo Dhavhidhi akaswedera, uye Arauna paakatarisa akamuona, akasiya buriro akakotamira pasi pamberi paDhavhidhi akaisa chiso chake pasi.
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.
Dhavhidhi akati kwaari, “Ndipewo nzvimbo yeburiro rako kuti ndigovakira Jehovha aritari, kuti denda riri pavanhu rimiswe. Nditengeserewo nomutengo waro wakazara.”
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.
Arauna akati kuna Dhavhidhi, “Ritorei henyu! Ishe wangu mambo ngavaite zvinovafadza. Tarirai ndichakupai nzombe yezvibayiro zvinopiswa, matanda okupurisa dzive huni, uye zviyo zvive zvipiriso zvoupfu. Ndichakupai zvose izvi.”
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.
Asi mambo Dhavhidhi akapindura Arauna akati, “Kwete, ndinoda kutenga nomutengo wakazara. Handingatori ndichipa Jehovha zvinhu zvako iwe kana kubayira chipiriso chinopiswa chandisina kuripira.”
25 And David gave to Ornan for the place in shekels of gold the weight of six hundred [shekels].
Saka Dhavhidhi akaripira Arauna mashekeri mazana matanhatu egoridhe kuti apiwe nzvimbo iyi.
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.
Dhavhidhi akavaka aritari kuna Jehovha ipapo uye akapa zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuwadzana. Akadana kuna Jehovha uye Jehovha akamupindura nomoto wakabva kudenga ukaenda paaritari yezvipiriso zvinopiswa.
27 And Jehovah spoke to the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.
Ipapo Jehovha akataurira mutumwa iye akadzorera munondo wake mumuhara wawo.
28 At that time when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
Panguva iyoyo Dhavhidhi paakaona kuti Jehovha akanga amupindura paburiro raArauna muJebhusi, akapa zvipiriso ipapo.
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.
Tabhenakeri yaJehovha yakanga yagadzirwa naMozisi murenje. Nearitari yezvipiriso zvinopiswa zvakanga zviri panzvimbo yakakwirira paGibheoni panguva iyoyo.
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.
Asi Dhavhidhi haaikwanisa kuenda pamberi payo kundobvunza Mwari nokuti aitya munondo womutumwa waJehovha.
