1 Chronicles 21
1 Then the accuser stood up, against Israel, —and moved David, to number Israel.
Seexanni Israaʼelitti kaʼee akka Daawit saba Israaʼel lakkaaʼuuf isa kakaase.
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.
Kanaafuu Daawit Yooʼaabii fi ajajjoota loltootaatiin, “Dhaqaatii Bersheebaadhaa hamma Daaniitti Israaʼeloota lakkaaʼaa. Ergasii immoo akka ani akka isaan hammam akka baayʼatan beekuu dandaʼuuf deebiʼaatii natti himaa” jedhe.
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?
Yooʼaab garuu deebisee, “Waaqayyo loltoota isaa dachaa dhibba caalaa haa baayʼisu. Yaa gooftaa koo mooticha, isaan hundi garboota gooftaa kootiif bulan mitii? Gooftaan koo maaliif waan kana gochuu barbaade? Inni maaliif Israaʼelitti yakka fida?” jedhe.
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.
Taʼus dubbiin mootichaa Yooʼaabin yaada geeddarachiise; kanaafuu Yooʼaab achii baʼee guutummaa Israaʼel keessa naannaʼee Yerusaalemitti deebiʼe.
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.
Yooʼaabis lakkoobsa namoota loluu dandaʼanii Daawititti hime; namoota Yihuudaa keessa jiraatan kuma dhibba afurii fi torbaatama dabalatee namoota goraadee qabachuu dandaʼan miliyoona tokkoo fi kuma dhibba tokkootu guutummaa Israaʼel keessa ture.
6 But, Levi and Benjamin, counted he not among them, —for detestable was the word of the king unto Joab.
Sababii ajajni mootichaa Yooʼaabin jibbisiiseef inni gosoota Lewwiitii fi Beniyaam itti dabalee hin lakkoofne.
7 And it was displeasing in the eyes of God, concerning this thing, —therefore smote he Israel.
Ajajni kun fuula Waaqaa durattis waan hamaa ture; kanaafuu inni Israaʼelin rukute.
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.
Kana irratti Daawit Waaqaan, “Ani waan kana gochuudhaan akka malee cubbuu hojjedheera. Amma garuu akka ati balleessaa garbicha keetii dhiiftuuf sin kadhadha. Ani hojii gowwummaa guddaa hojjedheeraa” jedhe.
9 Then spake Yahweh unto Gad, the seer of David saying:
Waaqayyos Gaad raajii Daawit sanaan akkana jedhe;
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.
“Dhaqiitii Daawitiin, ‘Waaqayyo akkana siin jedha: Ani filannoo sadii siifin kenna. Akka ani isa sitti fiduuf, isaan keessaa tokko filadhu’ jedhi.”
11 So Gad came unto David, —and said to him, Thus, saith Yahweh,
Kanaafuu Gaad gara Daawit dhaqee akkana jedheen; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Filannoo kee addaan baafadhu:
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.
Beela waggaa sadii yookaan jiʼa sadii fuula diinota keetii dura ariʼamuu fi goraadee isaaniitiin balleeffamuu yookaan guyyaa goraadee Waaqayyoo sadii jechuunis guyyoota dhaʼichi biyyattiitti buʼee ergamaan Waaqayyoo kutaa Israaʼel hunda balleessu.’ Egaa amma waan ani isa na erge sanaaf deebisu murteeffadhu.”
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.
Daawit immoo Gaadiin, “Ani akka malee dhiphadheera. Waan araarri isaa akka malee guddaa taʼeef ani harka Waaqayyoo seenuu naaf wayya; garuu akka ani harka namaa seenu na hin godhin” jedhe.
14 So Yahweh laid pestilence, upon Israel, —and there fell, of Israel, seventy thousand men.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Israaʼelitti dhaʼicha ergee namoonni Israaʼel kuma torbaatama ni dhuman.
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.
Waaqni akka inni Yerusaalem balleessuuf ergamaa isaa tokko erge. Garuu utuma ergamaan Waaqayyoo sun Yerusaalemin balleessuuf qophaaʼaa jiruu Waaqayyo balaa sana argee gaabbee ergamaa isaa kan saba balleessuuf ture sanaan, “Ni gaʼa! Harka kee deebifadhu” jedhe. Yeroo sana ergamaan Waaqayyoo sun oobdii Ornaa namicha gosa Yebuus sanaa bira dhaabachaa ture.
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.
Daawitis ol ilaalee ergamaa Waaqayyoo kan goraadee luqqifamee Yerusaalemitti diriirfame harka isaatti qabatee samii fi lafa gidduu dhaabachaa jiru tokko ni arge. Daawitii fi maanguddoonni wayyaa gaddaa uffatanii fuula isaa duratti addaan lafatti ni gombifaman.
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!
Daawit immoo Waaqaan, “Namni akka loltoonni lakkaaʼaman godhe ana mitii? Namni cubbuu fi balleessaa hojjete anuma. Isaan kunneen garuu hoolotaa dha. Isaan maal godhan? Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa koo harki kee anaa fi maatii koo irra haa buʼu; garuu akka dhaʼichi kun saba kee irra turu hin godhin” jedhe.
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.
Ergasii ergamaan Waaqayyoo akka Daawit ol baʼee oobdii Ornaa namicha gosa Yebuus sanaa keessatti iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoof ijaaru akka inni Daawititti himu Gaadin ajaje.
19 So David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spake in the name of Yahweh.
Kanaafuu Daawit dubbii Gaad maqaa Waaqayyootiin isatti hime sanaaf ajajamee ol baʼe.
20 And Ornan turned, and saw the messenger, but, his four sons with him, were hiding themselves, —now, Ornan, had been threshing wheat.
Ornaan utuu qamadii dhaʼuutti jiruu ol jedhee ergamaa Waaqayyoo sana arge; ilmaan isaa warri isa wajjin turan afranis ni dhokatan.
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.
Ergasii Daawit achi gaʼe; Ornaanis yommuu milʼatee isa argetti oobdii sana keessaa baʼee fuula Daawit duratti addaan lafatti gombifamee sagade.
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.
Daawitis, “Ani akka isa irratti iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoof tolchee akkasiin dhaʼichi saba irra buʼe kun dhaabatuuf oobdii kee naaf kenni. Gatii isaa guutuutti natti gurguri” jedheen.
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.
Ornaanis Daawitiin, “Fudhadhu! Gooftaan koo mootichi waan isatti tolu kam iyyuu haa godhu. Kunoo ani aarsaa gubamuuf sangoota, qoraaniif ulee ittiin midhaan dhaʼan, kennaa midhaan dhiʼeeffamuufis qamadii nan kenna; ani waan kana hunda nan kenna” jedhe.
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.
Daawit Mootichi garuu Ornaadhaan, “Kun hin taʼu; ani gatii isaa guutuu siifin kenna. Ani waan kan kee taʼe Waaqayyoof hin fudhadhu yookaan waan gatii na hin baasisin aarsaa gubamuuf hin dhiʼeessu” jedhe.
25 So David gave to Ornan, for the place, —shekels of gold, by weight, six hundred.
Kanaafuu Daawit gatii lafa sanaa Ornaadhaaf warqee saqilii dhibbaa jaʼa kafale.
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.
Daawitis achitti iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoof tolchee aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa nagaa dhiʼeesse. Innis Waaqayyoon ni waammate; Waaqayyos samiidhaa ibiddaan iddoo aarsaa gubamuu irratti isaaf deebii kenne.
27 And Yahweh gave word to tile messenger, and he put back his sword into its sheath.
Sana booddee Waaqayyo ergamaa isaa sanatti dubbate; innis goraadee isaa manʼee isaatti ni deebise.
28 At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
Daawit yeroo sanatti akka Waaqayyo oobdii Ornaa namicha gosa Yebuus sanaa irratti deebii isaa kenne ni hubate; achittis aarsaa ni dhiʼeesse.
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;
Dunkaanni Waaqayyoo kan Museen gammoojjiitti hojjetee fi iddoon aarsaa gubamuu Gibeʼoon keessa gaara sagadaa irra ture.
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.
Daawit garuu sababii goraadee ergamaa Waaqayyoo sodaateef achi dhaqee fuula iddoo aarsaa sanaa duratti Waaqa kadhachuu hin dandeenye.
