1 Chronicles 21
1 Satan interfered to cause trouble for Israel. He provoked David to do a census of Israel.
Satani sì dúró ti Israẹli, ó sì ti Dafidi láti ka iye Israẹli.
2 So David told Joab and the army commanders, “Go and count the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan. Then report back to me so I can have a total number.”
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi sì wí fún Joabu àti àwọn olórí àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Lọ kí o ka iye àwọn ọmọ Israẹli láti Beerṣeba títí dé Dani. Kí o sì padà mú iye wọn fún mi wa, kí èmi kí ó le mọ iye tí wọ́n jẹ́.”
3 But Joab replied, “May the Lord multiply his people a hundred times over. Your Majesty, aren't they all your subjects? Why do you want to do this? Why should you make Israel guilty?”
Ṣùgbọ́n Joabu dá a lóhùn pé, “Kí Olúwa kí ó mú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ pọ̀ sí ní ìgbà ọgọ́rùn-ún ju ti tẹ́lẹ̀ lọ, ọba olúwa mi, gbogbo wọn kì í ha ṣe ìránṣẹ́ olúwa ni? Kí ni ó dé tí olúwa mi ṣe fẹ́ ṣè yìí? Kí ni ó de tí yóò fi mú ẹ̀bi wá sórí Israẹli?”
4 But the king was adamant so Joab left and went all over Israel. Eventually he returned to Jerusalem,
Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ ọba borí tí Joabu. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Joabu jáde lọ, ó sì la gbogbo Israẹli já, ó sí dé Jerusalẹmu.
5 and he gave David the number of people censused. In Israel there were 1,100,000 fighting men who could handle a sword, and 470,000 in Judah.
Joabu sì fi àpapọ̀ iye àwọn ènìyàn náà fún Dafidi. Ní gbogbo Israẹli, ó sì jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún ẹgbẹ̀rún àti ọ̀kẹ́ márùn-ún ènìyàn tí ń kọ́ idà, Juda sì jẹ́ ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́tàlélógún lé ẹgbàárùn-ún ọkùnrin tí ń kọ́ idà.
6 However, Joab did not include Levi and Benjamin in the census total, because he disagreed with what the king had ordered.
Ṣùgbọ́n Joabu kó àwọn Lefi àti Benjamini mọ́ iye wọn, nítorí àṣẹ ọba jẹ́ ìríra fún un.
7 The Lord considered the census a bad thing to do and he punished Israel for it.
Àṣẹ yìí pẹ̀lú sì jẹ́ búburú lójú Ọlọ́run, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì díyàjẹ Israẹli.
8 Then David said to God, “I have committed a terrible sin by doing this. Please take away the guilt of your servant, for I have been very stupid.”
Nígbà náà Dafidi sọ fún Ọlọ́run pé, èmi ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ gidigidi nípa ṣíṣe èyí. Nísinsin yìí, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, mú ìjẹ̀bi àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ kúrò. Èmi ti hùwà aṣiwèrè gidigidi.
9 The Lord told Gad, David's seer,
Olúwa sì fi fún Gadi, aríran Dafidi pé.
10 “Go and tell David that this is what the Lord says: ‘I'm giving you three options. Choose one of them, and that's what I'll do to you.’”
“Lọ kí o sì wí fún Dafidi pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, èmi fi nǹkan mẹ́ta lọ̀ ọ́; yan ọ̀kan nínú wọn, kí èmi ó sì ṣe é sí ọ.’”
11 So Gad went and told David, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Make your choice:
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Gadi tọ Dafidi wá, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: ‘Yan fún ara rẹ.
12 either three years of famine; or three months of devastation, running from the swords of your enemies; or three days of the Lord's sword—in other words three days of plague in the land, with an angel of the Lord causing destruction throughout the whole of Israel.’ Now you have to decide how I should reply to the one who sent me.”
Ọdún mẹ́ta ìyàn, tàbí ìparun ní oṣù mẹ́ta níwájú àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, pẹ̀lú idà wọn láti lé ọ bá, tàbí ọjọ́ mẹ́ta idà Olúwa ọjọ́ àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn ní ilẹ̀ náà, pẹ̀lú àwọn angẹli Olúwa láti pa gbogbo agbègbè Israẹli run.’ Nísinsin yìí ǹjẹ́, rò ó wò, èsì wo ni èmi yóò mú padà tọ ẹni tí ó rán mi.”
13 David replied to Gad, “This is an awful situation for me! Please, let the Lord decide my punishment, for he is so merciful. Don't let me be punished by people.”
Dafidi sì wí fún Gadi pé, “Ìyọnu ńlá bá mi. Jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó ṣubú sí ọwọ́ Olúwa nísinsin yìí, nítorí tí àánú rẹ̀ pọ̀ gidigidi, ṣùgbọ́n má ṣe jẹ́ kí èmi kí o ṣubú sí ọwọ́ àwọn ènìyàn.”
14 So the Lord a plague on Israel, and 70,000 Israelites died.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa rán àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn lórí Israẹli, àwọn tí ó ṣubú ní Israẹli jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún ní ọ̀nà àádọ́rin ènìyàn.
15 God also sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem. But just as the angel was about to destroy it, the Lord saw it, and he relented from causing such a disaster. He told the destroying angel, “That's enough. You can stop now.” Right then the angel of the Lord was standing beside the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Ọlọ́run sì rán angẹli kan sí Jerusalẹmu láti pa wọ́n run. Ṣùgbọ́n bí angẹli ti ń pa wọ́n run, Olúwa sì wò. Ó sì káàánú nítorí ibi náà, ó sì wí fún angẹli tí ó pa àwọn ènìyàn náà run pé, “Ó ti tó! Dá ọwọ́ rẹ dúró.” Angẹli Olúwa náà sì dúró níbi ilẹ̀ ìpakà Arauna ará Jebusi.
16 When David looked up and saw the angel of the Lord standing between earth and heaven, holding his drawn sword extended over Jerusalem, David and the elders, wearing sackcloth, fell on their faces.
Dafidi sì wòkè ó sì rí angẹli Olúwa dúró láàrín ọ̀run àti ayé pẹ̀lú idà fífàyọ ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ tí ó sì nà án sórí Jerusalẹmu. Nígbà náà Dafidi àti àwọn àgbàgbà, sì wọ aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀, wọ́n sì da ojú wọn bolẹ̀.
17 David said to God, “Wasn't it me who ordered the census of the people? I'm the one who has sinned and acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Lord my God, please punish me and my family, but don't punish your people with this plague.”
Dafidi sì wí fún Ọlọ́run pé, “Èmi ha kọ́ ni mo pàṣẹ àti ka àwọn jagunjagun ènìyàn? Èmi ni ẹni náà tí ó dẹ́ṣẹ̀ tí ó sì ṣe ohun búburú pàápàá, ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe ti àgùntàn wọ̀nyí, kí ni wọ́n ṣe? Èmí bẹ̀ ọ́ Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, jẹ́ kí ọwọ́ rẹ kí ó wà lára mi àti àwọn ìdílé baba mi, ṣùgbọ́n má ṣe jẹ́ kí àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn yìí kí ó dúró lórí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ.”
18 Then the angel of the Lord told Gad to tell David to go and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Nígbà náà angẹli Olúwa náà pàṣẹ fún Gadi láti sọ fún Dafidi pé, kí Dafidi kí ó gòkè lọ, kí ó sì tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan fún Olúwa lórí ilẹ̀ ìpakà Arauna ará Jebusi.
19 So David went and did what Gad had told him in the name of the Lord.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi sì gòkè lọ pẹ̀lú ìgbọ́ràn sí ọ̀rọ̀ tí Gadi ti sọ ní orúkọ Olúwa.
20 Ornan was busy threshing wheat. He turned around and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him went and hid.
Nígbà tí Arauna sì ń pakà lọ́wọ́, ó sì yípadà ó sì rí angẹli; àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ mẹ́rẹ̀ẹ̀rin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ pa ará wọn mọ́.
21 When David arrived, Ornan looked out and saw David. He left the threshing floor and bowed down before David with his face to the ground.
Bí Dafidi sì ti dé ọ̀dọ̀ Arauna, Arauna sì wò, ó sì rí Dafidi, ó sì ti ibi ilẹ̀ ìpakà rẹ̀ jáde, ó sì wólẹ̀, ó dojúbolẹ̀ níwájú Dafidi.
22 David said to Ornan, “Please let me have the threshing floor. I'll buy it at its full price. Then I can build an altar to the Lord here so that the plague on the people may be stopped.”
Dafidi sì wí fún Arauna pé, “Jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó ni ibi ìpakà rẹ kí èmi kí ó sì lè tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan níbẹ̀ fún Olúwa, ìwọ ó sì fi fún mi ni iye owó rẹ̀ pípé, kí a lè dá àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn dúró lọ́dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn.”
23 “Take it, and Your Majesty can do whatever you want with it,” Ornan told David. “You can have the oxen for burnt offerings, the threshing boards for firewood, and the wheat for a grain offering. I'll give it all to you.”
Arauna sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Mú un fún ara rẹ, sì jẹ́ kí olúwa mi ọba kí ó ṣe ohun tí ó dára lójú rẹ̀. Wò ó, èmí yóò fún ọ ní àwọn màlúù fún ẹbọ sísun, àti ohun èlò ìpakà fún igi, àti ọkà fún ọrẹ oúnjẹ. Èmi yóò fun ọ ní gbogbo èyí.”
24 “No, I insist, I will pay the full price,” replied King David “I won't take for the Lord what is yours or present burnt offerings that didn't cost me anything.”
Ṣùgbọ́n ọba Dafidi dá Arauna lóhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò rà á ní iye owó rẹ̀ ní pípé, nítorí èmi kì yóò èyí tí ó jẹ́ tìrẹ fún Olúwa, tàbí láti rú ẹbọ sísun tí kò ná mi ní ohun kan.”
25 So David paid Ornan six hundred shekels of gold for the place.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi san ẹgbẹ̀ta ṣékélì wúrà fún Arauna nípa ìwọ̀n fún ibẹ̀ náà.
26 David built an altar to the Lord there and presented burnt offerings and friendship offerings. He called on the Lord in prayer, and the Lord answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.
Dafidi sì tẹ́ pẹpẹ fún Olúwa níbẹ̀ ó sì rú ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ ọpẹ́. Ó sì ké pe Olúwa, Olúwa sì fi iná dá a lóhùn láti òkè ọ̀run wá lórí pẹpẹ fún ẹbọ ọrẹ sísun.
27 Then the Lord told the angel to put his sword back into its sheath.
Nígbà náà Olúwa sọ̀rọ̀ sí angẹli, ó sì gbé idà padà bọ̀ sínú àkọ̀ rẹ̀.
28 When David saw that the Lord had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there.
Ní àkókò náà nígbà tí Dafidi sì rí wí pé Olúwa ti dá a lóhùn lórí ilẹ̀ ìpakà ti Arauna ará Jebusi, ó sì rú ẹbọ sísun níbẹ̀.
29 At that time the tent of the Lord that Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at the high place in Gibeon.
Àgọ́ Olúwa tí Mose ti ṣe ní aginjù, àti pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun wà lórí ibi gíga ní Gibeoni ní àkókò náà.
30 But David did not want to go there to ask God's will, because he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
Ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi kò lè lọ síwájú rẹ̀ láti béèrè lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run, nítorí tí ó bẹ̀rù nípa idà ọwọ́ angẹli Olúwa.
