< Chronicles I 21 >

1 And the devil stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
Satani sì dúró ti Israẹli, ó sì ti Dafidi láti ka iye Israẹli.
2 And king David said to Joab and to the captains of the forces, Go, number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me [the account], and I shall know their 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 And Joab said, May the Lord add to his people, a hundred-fold as many as they [are], and [let] the eyes of my lord the king see [it]: all [are] the servants of my lord. Why does my lord seek this thing? [do it not], lest it become a sin to Israel.
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 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab went out and passed through all Israel, and came 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 Joab gave the number of the mustering of the people to David: and all Israel was a million and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and the sons of Juda [were] four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.
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 But he numbered not Levi and Benjamin among them; for the word of the king was painful to Joab.
Ṣùgbọ́n Joabu kó àwọn Lefi àti Benjamini mọ́ iye wọn, nítorí àṣẹ ọba jẹ́ ìríra fún un.
7 And [there was] evil in the sight of the Lord respecting this thing; and he struck Israel.
Àṣẹ yìí pẹ̀lú sì jẹ́ búburú lójú Ọlọ́run, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì díyàjẹ Israẹli.
8 And David said to God, I have sinned exceedingly, in that I have done this thing: and now, I pray you, remove the sin of your servant; for I have been exceedingly foolish.
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 And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer, saying,
Olúwa sì fi fún Gadi, aríran Dafidi pé.
10 Go and speak to David, saying, Thus says the Lord, I bring three things upon you: choose one of them for yourself, and I will do it 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 And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus says the Lord, Choose for yourself,
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 that you should flee three months from the face of your enemies, and the sword of your enemies [shall be employed] to destroy you, or that the sword of the Lord and pestilence [should be] three days in the land, and the angel of the Lord [shall be] destroying in all the inheritance of Israel. And now consider what I shall answer to him that sent the message.
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 And David said to Gad, They are very hard for me, even [all] the three: let me fall now into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies [are] very abundant, and let me not fall by any means into the hands of man.
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 brought pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa rán àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn lórí Israẹli, àwọn tí ó ṣubú ní Israẹli jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún ní ọ̀nà àádọ́rin ènìyàn.
15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the Lord saw, and repented for the evil, and said to the angel that was destroying, Let it suffice you; withhold your hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the threshing floor of Orna 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 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord, standing between the earth and the heaven, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem: and David and the elders clothed in sackcloth, fell upon 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 And David said to God, [Was it] not I [that] gave orders to number the people? and I am the guilty one; I have greatly sinned: but these sheep, what have they done? O Lord God, let your hand be upon me, and upon my father's house, and not on your people for destruction, O Lord!
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 And the angel of the Lord told Gad to tell David, that he should go up to erect and altar to the Lord, in the threshing floor of Orna 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 And David went up according to the word of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the Lord.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi sì gòkè lọ pẹ̀lú ìgbọ́ràn sí ọ̀rọ̀ tí Gadi ti sọ ní orúkọ Olúwa.
20 And Orna turned and saw the king; and he hid himself and his four sons with him. Now Orna was threshing wheat.
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 And David came to Orna; and Orna came forth from the threshing floor, and did obeisance to 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 And David said to Orna, Give me your place of the threshing floor, and I will build upon it an altar to the Lord: give it me for its worth in money, and the plague shall cease from [among] the people.
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 And Orna said to David, Take it to yourself, and let my lord the king do what is right in his eyes: see, I have given the calves for a whole burnt offering, and the plow for wood, and the corn for a meat-offering; I have given all.
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 And king David said to Orna, Nay; for I will surely buy it for its worth in money: for I will not take your property for the Lord, to offer a whole burnt offering to the Lord without cost [to myself].
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 And David gave to Orna for his place six hundred shekels of gold [by] weight.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi san ẹgbẹ̀ta ṣékélì wúrà fún Arauna nípa ìwọ̀n fún ibẹ̀ náà.
26 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings: and he cried to the Lord, and he answered him by fire out of heaven on the altar of whole burnt offerings, and [it] consumed the whole 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 And the Lord spoke to the angel; and he put up the sword into its sheath.
Nígbà náà Olúwa sọ̀rọ̀ sí angẹli, ó sì gbé idà padà bọ̀ sínú àkọ̀ rẹ̀.
28 At that time when David saw that the Lord answered him in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite, he also sacrificed 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 And the tabernacle of the Lord which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of whole burnt offerings, [were] at that time in the high place at Gabaon.
Àgọ́ Olúwa tí Mose ti ṣe ní aginjù, àti pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun wà lórí ibi gíga ní Gibeoni ní àkókò náà.
30 And David could not go before it to enquire of God; for he hasted not because 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.
