1 Chronicles 21
1 And an adversary 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 leaders of the people, "Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them."
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 Joab said, "May the LORD make his people a hundred times as many as they are. But, my lord the king, aren't they all my lord's servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt 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 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
Zvisinei, shoko ramambo rakakunda raJoabhu, saka Joabhu akabvapo akaenda muIsraeri yose uye akadzokera kuJerusarema.
5 Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew sword: and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who 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 he did not count Levi and Benjamin 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 God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel.
Kurayira uku kwakanga kwakaipawo pamberi paMwari, saka akaranga Israeri.
8 David said to God, "I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your 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 The LORD spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,
Jehovha akati kuna Gadhi muoni waDhavhidhi,
10 "Go and speak to David, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, "I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you."'"
“Enda undotaurira Dhavhidhi kuti, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha: Ndinokupa zvinhu zvitatu zvokusarudza. Zvisarudzire chaunoda kuti ndikuitire ndichikuranga.’”
11 So Gad came to David, and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Take your choice:
Saka Gadhi akaenda kuna Dhavhidhi akati kwaari, “Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Sarudza pakati peizvi:
12 either three years of famine; or three months of fleeing from before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who 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 David said to Gad, "I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are very great. 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 So the LORD sent a pestilence on Israel; and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
Saka Jehovha akatumira denda muIsraeri uye zviuru makumi manomwe zvavarume veIsraeri vakawira pasi vakafa.
15 God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, the LORD saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, "It is enough; now stay your hand." The angel of the LORD was standing 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 David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and the sky, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then 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 David said to God, "Isn't it I who commanded the people to be numbered? It is even I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, O LORD my God, be against me, and against my father's house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued."
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 Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up, and raise an altar to the LORD 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 David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the LORD.
Saka Dhavhidhi akakwidza mukuteerera shoko rakanga rataurwa naGadhi muzita raJehovha.
20 Ornan turned back, and saw the king, and his four sons who were with him hiding themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
Arauna paakanga achipura zviyo, akacheuka akaona mutumwa; vanakomana vake vana vaaiva navo vakanohwanda.
21 As David came to Ornan, 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 Then David said to Ornan, "Give me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build thereon an altar to the LORD. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people."
Dhavhidhi akati kwaari, “Ndipewo nzvimbo yeburiro rako kuti ndigovakira Jehovha aritari, kuti denda riri pavanhu rimiswe. Nditengeserewo nomutengo waro wakazara.”
23 Ornan said to David, "Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Look, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. 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 King David said to Ornan, "No; but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for the LORD, nor offer 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 So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
Saka Dhavhidhi akaripira Arauna mashekeri mazana matanhatu egoridhe kuti apiwe nzvimbo iyi.
26 David built an altar to the LORD there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire on the altar of burnt offering, and it consumed the 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 The LORD commanded 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 the LORD 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 For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses 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 couldn't go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
Asi Dhavhidhi haaikwanisa kuenda pamberi payo kundobvunza Mwari nokuti aitya munondo womutumwa waJehovha.
