1 Chronicles 21
1 Then the accuser stood up, against Israel, —and moved David, to number Israel.
Na rĩrĩ, Shaitani nĩookĩrĩire andũ a Isiraeli, na akĩarahũra Daudi nĩguo atarithie andũ a Isiraeli.
2 And David said unto Joab and unto the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel, from Beer-sheba even unto Dan, —and bring [the report] unto me, that I may know the number of them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi akĩĩra Joabu na anene a mbũtũ cia ita atĩrĩ: “Thiĩi mũgatare andũ a Isiraeli kuuma Birishiba nginya Dani, mũcooke mũndehere ũhoro nĩguo menye ũrĩa maigana.”
3 Then said Joab, May Yahweh add unto his people, as many as they are, a hundred times, but are they not, my lord O king, all of them my lord’s, as servants? wherefore should my lord seek this? wherefore should it become guilt to Israel?
Nowe Joabu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Jehova aroingĩhia mbũtũ ciake cia ita maita igana. Mwathi wakwa mũthamaki, githĩ othe matirĩ watho-inĩ waku? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mwathi wakwa ende gwĩka ũguo? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma ahĩtithie Isiraeli?”
4 But, the word of the king, prevailed against Joab, —and Joab departed, and went to and fro throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
No rĩrĩ, mũthamaki agĩkararia Joabu; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joabu akiuma hau agĩthiĩ Isiraeli guothe, na agĩcooka Jerusalemu.
5 And Joab delivered the sum of the number of the people, unto David, —and all Israel was found to be a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men, who drew sword, and Judah, four hundred and seventy thousand men, who drew sword.
Joabu akĩmenyithia Daudi mũigana wa andũ arĩa maangĩarũire mbaara ta ũũ: Isiraeli guothe kwarĩ na andũ 1,100,000 arĩa maangĩahotire kũhũthĩra rũhiũ rwa njora, thĩinĩ wao haarĩ na andũ 470,000 kuuma Juda.
6 But, Levi and Benjamin, counted he not among them, —for detestable was the word of the king unto Joab.
No rĩrĩ, Joabu ndaatarire andũ a Lawi na a Benjamini, tondũ watho ũcio wa mũthamaki nĩwamũiguithĩtie ũũru mũno.
7 And it was displeasing in the eyes of God, concerning this thing, —therefore smote he Israel.
O na ningĩ watho ũcio warĩ mũũru maitho-inĩ ma Ngai; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩherithia Isiraeli.
8 And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing, —but, now, I beseech thee, take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have shown myself very foolish.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Daudi akĩĩra Ngai atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩhĩtie mũno nĩ gwĩka ũndũ ũyũ. Rĩu ndagũthaitha ũnjehererie mahĩtia, niĩ ndungata yaku. Nĩnjĩkĩte ũndũ wa ũrimũ mũno.”
9 Then spake Yahweh unto Gad, the seer of David saying:
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Gadi ũrĩa woonagĩra Daudi maũndũ atĩrĩ,
10 Go—and thou shalt speak unto David, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, Three things, do I offer thee, —choose thee one from among them, that I may do it unto thee.
“Thiĩ ũkeere Daudi ũũ, ‘Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ũrĩ na maũndũ matatũ ma gũthuura. Nowe ũthuure ũmwe wamo ũrĩa ngũkũherithia naguo.’”
11 So Gad came unto David, —and said to him, Thus, saith Yahweh,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Gadi agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Daudi, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Thuura ũndũ ũmwe wa maya:
12 Choose thee: —Whether, for three years, [there be] famine, Or, for three months, that thou flee before thine adversaries, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee, Or, for three days, the sword of Yahweh, and pestilence be in the land, with, the messenger of Yahweh, laying waste throughout all the boundary of Israel, —Now, therefore, see, what, answer, I shall return unto him that sent me.
Ũthuure mĩaka ĩtatũ ya ngʼaragu, kana mĩeri ĩtatũ ya kũniinwo nĩ thũ ciaku igũthingatĩte na hiũ ciao cia njora, kana mĩthenya ĩtatũ ya rũhiũ rwa njora rwa Jehova, naguo nĩ atĩ kũgĩe na mĩthenya ya mũthiro bũrũri-inĩ, rĩrĩa mũraika wa Jehova akaaniinana Isiraeli guothe.’ Na rĩrĩ, tua itua ũnjĩĩre ũrĩa ngũthiĩ gũcookeria ũrĩa ũndũmĩte.”
13 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait, —Oh let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Yahweh, for abounding are his compassions, exceedingly, but, into the hand of man, let me not fall.
Daudi akĩĩra Gadi atĩrĩ, “Rĩu niĩ ndĩ na thĩĩna mũno. Nĩ kaba niĩ ngwe moko-inĩ ma Jehova, tondũ tha ciake nĩ nyingĩ mũno; no ndũkareke ngwe moko-inĩ ma andũ.”
14 So Yahweh laid pestilence, upon Israel, —and there fell, of Israel, seventy thousand men.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩrehera Isiraeli mũthiro, na andũ a Isiraeli 70,000 magĩkua.
15 And God sent a messenger to Jerusalem, to lay it waste, but, as he was laying it waste, Yahweh looked, and relented concerning the calamity, and said unto the messenger who was laying waste, Enough! now, stay thy hand. And, the messenger of Yahweh, was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Nake Ngai agĩtũma mũraika akanange Jerusalemu. No rĩrĩa mũraika ekaga ũguo-rĩ, Jehova akĩona ũndũ ũcio na akĩigua kĩeha nĩ ũndũ wa kĩnyariirĩko kĩu, nake 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.
16 And, when David lifted up his eyes, and saw the messenger of Yahweh, standing, between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn, in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem, then fell David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, upon their faces.
Nake Daudi akĩrora igũrũ akĩona mũraika wa Jehova arũngiĩ gatagatĩ ka igũrũ na thĩ acomorete rũhiũ rwa njora, arũnyiitĩte na guoko gwake gũtambũrũkĩirio Jerusalemu. Nake Daudi na athuuri, mehumbĩte nguo cia makũnia, makĩgũa magĩturumithia mothiũ mao thĩ.
17 And David said unto God, Was it not, I, who gave word to number the people? Yea, I, it was who sinned and did the great wrong, what then had, these sheep, done? O Yahweh, my God, let thy hand, I beseech thee, be against me, and against the house of my father, but not against, thy people, that they should be plagued!
Daudi akĩũria Ngai atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ti niĩ ndaathanire atĩ arũi a mbaara matarwo? Niĩ nĩ niĩ njĩhĩtie o na ngeeka ũũru. Andũ aya matariĩ o ta ngʼondu. Nĩ atĩa mekĩte? Wee Jehova Ngai wakwa, reke guoko gwaku kũnjũkĩrĩre niĩ na nyũmba yakwa, no rĩrĩ, ndũkareke mũthiro ũyũ ũikare na andũ aku.”
18 And, the messenger of Yahweh, commanded Gad, to say unto David, —that David should go up, to rear an altar unto Yahweh, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Nake mũraika wa Jehova agĩatha Gadi eere Daudi aambate athiĩ agaakĩre Jehova kĩgongona o kũu kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano kĩa Arauna ũrĩa Mũjebusi.
19 So David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spake in the name of Yahweh.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi akĩambata agĩathĩkĩra kiugo kĩu Gadi aarĩtie thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.
20 And Ornan turned, and saw the messenger, but, his four sons with him, were hiding themselves, —now, Ornan, had been threshing wheat.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Arauna aakonyoraga ngano-rĩ, akĩĩhũgũra akĩona mũraika ũcio; nao ariũ ake ana arĩa maarĩ nake makĩĩhitha.
21 Then came David unto Ornan, —and Ornan looked, and saw David, and went forth out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself unto David, with his face to the ground.
Nake Daudi agĩkuhĩrĩria, na rĩrĩa Arauna aarorire akĩmuona, akiuma kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano, akĩinamĩrĩria mũtwe wake mbere ya Daudi, na agĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ.
22 And David said unto Ornan, Grant me the place of the threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar, unto Yahweh, —for silver in full, shalt thou grant it me, that the plague may be stayed from off the people.
Daudi akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Njĩtĩkĩria njakĩre Jehova kĩgongona haha kĩhuhĩro-inĩ gĩkĩ gĩaku kĩa ngano, nĩguo mũthiro ũyũ ũkorete andũ ũthire. Nyenderia o ũrĩa thogora wakĩo ũigana.”
23 And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do what is good in his own eyes, —see! I have given the oxen for ascending-sacrifices, and, the threshing implements for wood, and the wheat for a meal-offering, —the whole, have I given.
Arauna akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Kĩoe! Reke mũthamaki mwathi wakwa eeke ũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩmũkenia. Na rĩrĩ, nĩngũkũhe ndegwa ici irutwo igongona rĩa njino, ihũũri ici cia ngano ituĩke ngũ, ngano nayo ĩtuĩke ya igongona rĩa mũtu. Icio ciothe nĩngũkũhe.”
24 Then said King David to Ornan, Nay! but I will, surely buy, it for silver in full, —for I will not take that which is thine for Yahweh, nor offer an ascending-sacrifice that hath cost me nothing.
Nowe Mũthamaki Daudi agĩcookeria Arauna atĩrĩ, “Aca, no nginya ndĩhe thogora wakĩo ũrĩa ũigana. Ndingĩrutĩra Jehova kĩndũ gĩaku, kana ndute igongona rĩa njino na kĩndũ kĩrĩa itarutĩire thogora.”
25 So David gave to Ornan, for the place, —shekels of gold, by weight, six hundred.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi akĩrĩha Arauna cekeri magana matandatũ cia thahabu nĩ ũndũ wa handũ hau.
26 And David built there an altar unto Yahweh, and caused to go up ascending-sacrifices, and peace-offerings, —and called unto Yahweh, and he responded to him, by fire, out of the heavens, upon the altar of ascending-sacrifice.
Daudi agĩakĩra Jehova kĩgongona handũ hau, na akĩruta maruta ma njino na maruta ma ũiguano. Agĩkaĩra Jehova, nake Jehova akĩmwĩtĩka na njĩra ya mwaki uumĩte igũrũ, ũgĩakana kĩgongona-inĩ kĩu kĩa maruta ma njino.
27 And Yahweh gave word to tile messenger, and he put back his sword into its sheath.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩarĩria mũraika ũcio nake agĩcookia rũhiũ rwake njora.
28 At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo, rĩrĩa Daudi onire atĩ Ngai nĩamũiguĩte arĩ kũu kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano kĩa Arauna ũcio Mũjebusi-rĩ, akĩrutĩra magongona hau.
29 But, the habitation of Yahweh, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of ascending-sacrifice, were, at that time, in the high place at Gibeon;
Hema ya Jehova ĩrĩa nyamũre ĩrĩa Musa aathondekeire werũ-inĩ, na kĩgongona kĩa maruta ma njino, hĩndĩ ĩyo ciarĩ harĩa hatũũgĩru o kũu Gibeoni.
30 and David could not go before it, to seek God, —for he had been terrified, because of the sword of the messenger of Yahweh.
No rĩrĩ, Daudi ndangĩathiire mbere yakĩo gũtuĩria ũhoro harĩ Ngai tondũ nĩetigagĩra rũhiũ rwa njora rwa mũraika ũcio wa Jehova.
