2 Samuel 24
1 And the anger of YHWH adds to burn against Israel, and [an adversary] moves David about them, saying, “Go, number Israel and Judah.”
Ningĩ marakara ma Jehova magĩakanĩra Isiraeli, nake agĩĩkĩra Daudi meciiria nĩguo amokĩrĩre, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũgatare andũ a Isiraeli na a Juda.”
2 And the king says to Joab, head of the host that [is] with him, “Now go to and fro through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, and inspect the people; then I have known the number of the people.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki akĩĩra Joabu na anene a mbũtũ cia ita arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi kũndũ guothe mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ ya Isiraeli kuuma Dani nginya Birishiba na mũtare andũ arĩa mangĩthiĩ mbaara, nĩgeetha menye ũrĩa maigana.”
3 And Joab says to the king, “Indeed, your God YHWH adds to the people, as they are, one hundred times, and the eyes of my lord the king are seeing; and my lord the king, why is he desirous of this thing?”
No Joabu agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai waku angĩrongerera mbũtũ cia ita maita igana, namo maitho ma mũthamaki marokĩĩonera. No nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũthamaki mwathi wakwa ende gwĩka ũndũ ta ũyũ?”
4 And the word of the king is severe toward Joab, and against the heads of the force, and Joab goes out, and the heads of the force, [from] before the king to inspect the people, even Israel;
No rĩrĩ, mũthamaki, agĩkararia Joabu na anene a mbũtũ cia ita; nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩehera mbere ya mũthamaki, magĩthiĩ gũtara andũ a Isiraeli arĩa mangĩathiire mbaara.
5 and they pass over the Jordan, and encamp in Aroer, on the right of the city that [is] in the midst of the Brook of Gad, and to Jazer,
Nao marĩkia kũringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, makĩamba hema hakuhĩ na Aroeri, mwena wa gũthini wa itũũra mũkuru-inĩ ũcio, magĩtuĩkanĩria bũrũri wa Gadi magĩkinya Jazeri.
6 and they come to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-Hodshi, and they come to Dan-Jaan, and around to Sidon,
Magĩthiĩ Gileadi na bũrũri-inĩ ũcio wa Tahatimu-Hodishi, magĩkinya Dani-Jaani magĩthiũrũrũka magĩkinya Sidoni.
7 and they come to the fortress of Tyre, and all the cities of the Hivite, and of the Canaanite, and go out to the south of Judah, to Beer-Sheba.
Magĩcooka magĩthiĩ merekeire kĩirigo kĩa hinya gĩa Turo na matũũra-inĩ mothe ma andũ a Ahivi na ma Kaanani. Marigĩrĩrio-ini magĩthiĩ Birishiba kũu Negevu ya Juda.
8 And they go to and fro through all the land, and come in to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days,
Maarĩkia gũthiĩ bũrũri-inĩ wothe, magĩcooka Jerusalemu thuutha wa mĩeri kenda na matukũ mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ.
9 and Joab gives the account of the inspection of the people to the king, and Israel is eight hundred thousand men of valor, drawing sword, and the men of Judah five hundred thousand men.
Joabu agĩcookeria mũthamaki ũhoro wa mũigana wa andũ arĩa mangĩathiire mbaara: Thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli kwarĩ andũ ngiri magana manana andũ marĩ na hinya wa mwĩrĩ na mangĩahotire kũhũthĩra rũhiũ rwa njora, nakuo Juda maarĩ ngiri magana matano.
10 And the heart of David strikes him, after that he has numbered the people, and David says to YHWH, “I have greatly sinned in that which I have done, and now, O YHWH, please cause the iniquity of Your servant to pass away, for I have acted very foolishly.”
Nake Daudi agĩthĩĩnĩka mũno ngoro thuutha wa gũtara andũ acio a mbaara, akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩhĩtie mũno nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo njĩkĩte. Rĩu, Wee Jehova-rĩ, ndagũthaitha ũnjehererie mahĩtia, niĩ ndungata yaku. Nĩnjĩkĩte ũndũ wa ũrimũ mũno.”
11 And David rises in the morning, and the word of YHWH has been to Gad the prophet, seer of David, saying,
Daudi atanokĩra rũciinĩ rũrũ rũngĩ-rĩ, kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinyĩra mũnabii Gadi, ũrĩa wonagĩra Daudi maũndũ, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
12 “Go, and you have spoken to David, Thus said YHWH: I am lifting up three [choices] for you, choose one of them, and I do [it] to you.”
“Thiĩ ũkeere Daudi ũũ, ‘Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ũrĩ na maũndũ matatũ ma gũthuura. Nawe ũthuure ũmwe wamo ũrĩa ngũkũherithia naguo.’”
13 And Gad comes to David, and declares [it] to him, and says to him, “Does seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or are you fleeing before your adversary [for] three months—and he is pursuing you? Or is there pestilence [for] three days in your land? Now, know and see what word I take back to Him sending me.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Gadi agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Daudi, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkwenda bũrũri waku ũgĩe ngʼaragu mĩaka ĩtatũ? Kana ũũrĩre thũ ciaku mĩeri ĩtatũ igũtengʼeretie? Kana kũgĩe matukũ matatũ ma mũrimũ wa mũthiro bũrũri-inĩ waku? Rĩu-rĩ, wĩciirie ũhoro ũcio ũtue itua rĩrĩa ngũcookeria ũcio ũndũmĩte.”
14 And David says to Gad, “I have great distress; please let us fall into the hand of YHWH, for His mercies [are] many, but do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
Daudi akĩĩra Gadi atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ndĩ na thĩĩna mũnene mũno. Nĩtũrekwo tũgwĩre moko-inĩ ma Jehova, nĩgũkorwo tha ciake nĩ nyingĩ; no ndũkareke ngwe moko-inĩ ma andũ.”
15 And YHWH gives a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the time appointed, and there dies of the people, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, seventy thousand men,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩrehera Isiraeli mũthiro kuuma rũciinĩ rũu nginya ihinda rĩrĩa rĩatuĩtwo; nao andũ ngiri mĩrongo mũgwanja kuuma Dani nginya Birishiba magĩkua.
16 and the messenger puts forth his hand to Jerusalem to destroy it, and YHWH sighs concerning the calamity, and says to the messenger who is destroying among the people, “Enough, now, cease your hand”; and the messenger of YHWH was near the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Rĩrĩa mũraika aatambũrũkirie guoko gwake nĩguo aanange Jerusalemu-rĩ, Jehova akĩigua kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa kĩnyariirĩko kĩu akĩĩra mũraika ũcio wanangaga andũ atĩrĩ, “Tigĩra hau! Eheria guoko gwaku.” Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũraika ũcio wa Jehova aarũgamĩte kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano kĩa Arauna, ũrĩa Mũjebusi.
17 And David speaks to YHWH when he sees the messenger who is striking among the people, and says, “Behold, I have sinned, indeed, I have done perversely; and these—the flock—what have they done? Please let Your hand be on me and on the house of my father.”
Rĩrĩa Daudi onire mũraika ũcio woragaga andũ-rĩ, akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ njĩhĩtie o na ngeeka ũũru. Andũ aya matariĩ o ta ngʼondu. Nĩatĩa mekĩte? Reke guoko gwaku kũnjũkĩrĩre niĩ na nyũmba yakwa.”
18 And Gad comes to David on that day and says to him, “Go up, raise an altar to YHWH in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite”;
Mũthenya o ro ũcio-rĩ, Gadi agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Daudi, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ambata, ũthiĩ wakĩre Jehova kĩgongona, hau kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano kĩa Arauna ũrĩa Mũjebusi.”
19 and David goes up, according to the word of Gad, as YHWH commanded.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi akĩambata o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte na kanua ka Gadi.
20 And Araunah looks, and sees the king and his servants passing over to him, and Araunah goes out and bows himself to the king [with] his face to the earth.
Rĩrĩa Arauna aacũthĩrĩirie akĩona mũthamaki na andũ ake magĩũka marorete na kũrĩ we, akiuma nja, akĩinamĩrĩra mbere ya mũthamaki aturumithĩtie ũthiũ thĩ.
21 And Araunah says, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” And David says, “To buy the threshing-floor from you, to build an altar to YHWH, and the plague is restrained from the people.”
Arauna akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũma mũthamaki mwathi wakwa oke kũrĩ ndungata yake?” Nake Daudi akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndooka kũgũra kĩhuhĩro gĩaku kĩa ngano, nĩguo njakĩre Jehova kĩgongona, nĩgeetha mũthiro ũyũ ũkorete andũ ũthire.”
22 And Araunah says to David, “Let my lord the king take [it] and cause that which is good in his eyes to ascend; see, [here are] the oxen for a burnt-offering, and the threshing instruments, and the instruments of the oxen, for wood”;
Arauna akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Reke mũthamaki mwathi wakwa oe kĩrĩa gĩothe angĩenda akĩrute igongona. Ici nĩ ndegwa cia igongona rĩa njino, na ici nĩcio indo cia kũhuhĩra ngano namo macooki ma ndegwa matuĩke ngũ.
23 Araunah has given the whole [as] a king to a king; and Araunah says to the king, “Your God YHWH accepts you.”
Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mũthamaki, Arauna nĩaheana indo icio ciothe kũrĩ mũthamaki.” Arauna agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai waku arogwĩtĩkĩra.”
24 And the king says to Araunah, “No, for I surely buy from you for a price, and I do not cause burnt-offerings to ascend to my God YHWH for nothing”; and David buys the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver,
Mũthamaki agĩcookeria Arauna atĩrĩ, “Aca, no nginya ngũrĩhe nĩ ũndũ wakĩo. Ndikũrutĩra Jehova Ngai wakwa igongona rĩa njino rĩa kĩndũ kĩrĩa itarĩhĩire thogora.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi akĩgũra kĩhuhĩro kĩu kĩa ngano na ndegwa icio na cekeri mĩrongo ĩtano cia betha.
25 and David builds an altar to YHWH there, and causes burnt-offerings and peace-offerings to ascend, and YHWH accepts the plea for the land, and the plague is restrained from Israel.
Daudi agĩakĩra Jehova kĩgongona hau, na akĩruta maruta ma njino na maruta ma ũiguano. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova agĩcookia mahooya nĩ ũndũ wa bũrũri, naguo mũthiro ũrĩa warĩ Isiraeli ũgĩthira.
