1 Chronicles 21
1 Sotheli Sathan roos ayens Israel, and stiride Dauid for to noumbre Israel.
Shetani akainuka dhidi ya Israeli na kumshawishi Daudi ahesabu watu wa Israeli.
2 And Dauid seide to Joab, and to the princes of the puple, Go ye, and noumbre Israel fro Bersabe til to Dan, and brynge ye the noumbre to me, that Y wite.
Kwa hiyo Daudi akamwambia Yoabu na majemadari wa jeshi, “Nendeni mkawahesabu Waisraeli kuanzia Beer-Sheba mpaka Dani. Kisha nileteeni taarifa ili kwamba niweze kufahamu wako wangapi.”
3 And Joab answeride, The Lord encresse his puple an hundrid fold more than thei ben; my lord the kyng, whether alle ben not thi seruauntis? Whi sekith my lord this thing, that schal be arettid in to synne to Israel?
Yoabu akajibu, “Bwana na aongeze jeshi lake mara mia na zaidi. Mfalme bwana wangu, kwani hawa wote si raiya wa bwana wangu? Kwa nini bwana wangu unataka kufanya hivi? Kwa nini kuleta hatia juu ya Israeli?”
4 But the word of the kyng hadde more the maistrie; and Joab yede out, and cumpasside al Israel, and turnede ayen in to Jerusalem.
Hata hivyo, neno la mfalme likawa na nguvu juu ya Yoabu; kwa hiyo Yoabu akaondoka na kuzunguka Israeli yote kisha akarudi Yerusalemu.
5 And he yaf to Dauid the noumbre of hem, which he hadde cumpassid; and al the noumbre of Israel was foundun a thousynde thousande, and an hundrid thousynde of men, drawynge out swerd; forsothe of Juda weren thre hundrid thousynde, and seuenti thousynde of werriouris.
Yoabu akampa Daudi jumla ya idadi ya watu wanaoweza kupigana. Katika Israeli kulikuwa na watu 1,100,000 ambao wangeweza kutumia upanga na katika Yuda watu 470,000.
6 For Joab noumbride not Leuy and Beniamyn, for ayens his wille he dide the comaundement of the kyng.
Lakini Yoabu hakuwahesabu Walawi na Wabenyamini, kwa sababu alichukizwa sana na amri ya mfalme.
7 Forsothe that that was comaundid displeside the Lord, and he smoot Israel.
Amri hii ilikuwa mbaya machoni pa Mungu pia; hivyo akaiadhibu Israeli.
8 And Dauid seide to God, Y synnede greetli that Y wolde do this; Y biseche, do thou awey the wickidnesse of thi seruaunt, for Y dide folili.
Kisha Daudi akamwambia Mungu, “Nimetenda dhambi kubwa kwa kufanya jambo hili. Sasa, ninakusihi, ondoa hatia ya mtumishi wako. Nimefanya jambo la kipumbavu sana.”
9 And the Lord spak to Gad, the profete of Dauid,
Bwana akamwambia Gadi, mwonaji wa Daudi,
10 and seide, Go thou, and speke to Dauid, and seie to him, The Lord seith these thingis, Y yeue to thee the chesyng of thre thingis; chese thou oon which thou wolt, that Y do to thee.
“Nenda ukamwambie Daudi, hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: ‘Ninakupa wewe uchaguzi wa mambo matatu. Nichagulie mojawapo nitakalotenda dhidi yako.’”
11 And whanne Gad was comen to Dauid, he seide to Dauid, The Lord seith these thingis, Chese thou that that thou wolt, ether pestilence thre yeer,
Kwa hiyo Gadi akamwendea Daudi akamwambia, “Hili ndilo Bwana asemalo: ‘Chagua:
12 ether that thre monethis thou fle thin enemyes and mow not ascape her swerd, ether that the swerd of the Lord and deeth regne thre daies in the lond, and that the aungel of the Lord slee in alle the coostis of Israel. Now therfor se thou, what Y schal answere to hym that sente me.
miaka mitatu ya njaa, au miezi mitatu ya kushindwa na adui zako, ukipatwa na upanga wao, au siku tatu za upanga wa Bwana, yaani, siku tatu za tauni katika nchi na malaika wa Bwana akiangamiza kila mahali katika Israeli.’ Sasa basi, amua jinsi nitakavyomjibu yeye aliyenituma.”
13 And Dauid seide to Gad, Angwischis oppresse me on ech part, but it is betere to me, that Y falle in to the hondis of the Lord, for his merciful doynges ben manye, than in to the hondis of men.
Daudi akamwambia Gadi, “Ninayo mahangaiko makubwa. Mimi na nianguke mikononi mwa Bwana kwa maana rehema zake ni kuu mno, lakini usiniache niangukie mikononi mwa wanadamu.”
14 Therfor the Lord sente pestilence in to Israel, and seuenti thousynde of men felden doun of Israel.
Basi Bwana akatuma tauni katika Israeli, watu 70,000 wa Israeli wakafa.
15 Also he sente an aungel in to Jerusalem, that he schulde smyte it; and whanne it was smytun, the Lord siy, and hadde merci on the greetnesse of yuel; and comaundide to the aungel that smoot, It suffisith, now thin hond ceesse. Forsothe the aungel of the Lord stood bisidis the cornfloor of Ornam Jebusey.
Mungu akapeleka malaika kuangamiza Yerusalemu. Lakini malaika alipokuwa akifanya hivyo, Bwana akaona na akahuzunika kwa sababu ya maafa, akamwambia yule malaika aliyekuwa anaangamiza watu, “Yatosha! Rudisha mkono wako.” Wakati huo malaika wa Bwana alikuwa amesimama katika sakafu ya kupuria nafaka ya Arauna Myebusi.
16 And Dauid reiside hise iyen, and siy the aungel of the Lord stondynge bitwixe heuene and erthe, and a drawun swerd in his hond, and turnede ayens Jerusalem. And bothe he and the grettere men in birthe weren clothid with heiris, and felden doun lowe on the erthe.
Daudi akayainua macho yake akamwona huyo malaika wa Bwana akiwa amesimama katikati ya mbingu na dunia, naye ameunyoosha upanga wake juu ya Yerusalemu tayari kuangamiza. Kisha Daudi na wazee, waliokuwa wamevaa nguo za gunia, wakaanguka kifudifudi.
17 And Dauid seide to the Lord, Whether Y am not that comaundide that the puple schulde be noumbrid? Y it am that synnede, Y it am that dide yuel; what disseruid this floc? My Lord God, Y biseche, thin hond be turned `in to me, and `in to the hows of my fadir; but thi puple be not smytun.
Daudi akamwambia Mungu, “Je, si mimi ndiye niliyeamuru watu wahesabiwe? Mimi ndiye niliyetenda dhambi na kukosa. Hawa ni kondoo tu. Wamefanya nini? Ee Bwana, Mungu wangu, mkono wako na uwe juu yangu mimi na jamaa yangu, lakini usiache tauni hii iendelee juu ya watu wako.”
18 Forsothe an aungel of the Lord comaundide Gad, that he schulde seie to Dauid, `that he schulde stie, and bilde an auter to the Lord God in the cornfloor of Ornam Jebusei.
Kisha malaika wa Bwana akamwamuru Gadi amwambie Daudi apande na kumjengea Bwana madhabahu kwenye sakafu ya kupuria nafaka ya Arauna Myebusi.
19 Therfor Dauid stiede bi the word of Gad, which he spak to hym bi the word of the Lord.
Kwa hiyo Daudi akakwea, akalitii lile neno ambalo Gadi alikuwa amelisema katika jina la Bwana.
20 Forsothe whanne Ornam hadde `biholde, and hadde seyn the aungel, and hise foure sones `with hym `hadde seyn, thei hidden hem, for in that tyme he threischide whete in the cornfloor.
Arauna alipokuwa akipura ngano, akageuka akamwona yule malaika. Wanawe wanne waliokuwa pamoja naye wakajificha, yeye akaendelea kupura ngano.
21 Therfor whanne Dauid cam to Ornam, Ornam bihelde Dauid, and yede forth fro the cornfloor ayens hym, and worschipide hym, lowli on the ground.
Kisha Daudi akakaribia, Arauna alipotazama na kumwona, akaondoka kwenye uwanja wa kupuria nafaka akamsujudia Daudi akiuinamisha uso wake ardhini.
22 And Dauid seide to hym, Yyue the place of thi cornfloor to me, that Y bilde ther ynne an auter to the Lord; so that thou take as myche siluer as it is worth, and that the veniaunce ceesse fro the puple.
Daudi akamwambia, “Nipatie huu uwanja wako wa kupuria nafaka ili niweze kujenga madhabahu ya Bwana tauni ipate kukomeshwa katika watu. Niuzie kwa bei yake kamili.”
23 Forsothe Ornam seide to Dauid, Take thou, and my lord the kyng do what euer thing plesith hym; but also Y yyue oxis in to brent sacrifice, and instrumentis of tree, wherbi cornes ben throischun, in to trees, and wheete in to sacrifice; Y yyue alle thingis wilfully.
Arauna akamwambia Daudi, “Uchukue huo uwanja. Mfalme bwana wangu na afanye lolote analopenda. Tazama, nitatoa maksai kwa ajili ya sadaka za kuteketezwa, vifaa vya kupuria kuwa kuni, pamoja na ngano kwa ajili ya dhabihu ya nafaka. Natoa hivi vyote.”
24 And `Dauid the kyng seide to hym, It schal not be don so, but Y schal yyue siluer as myche as it is worth; for Y owe not take awei fro thee, and offre so to the Lord brent sacrifices freli youun.
Lakini Mfalme Daudi akamjibu Arauna, “La hasha! Lakini ninasisitiza kwamba nitalipa bei yake kamili. Sitachukua kilicho chako kwa ajili ya Bwana au kutoa sadaka ya kuteketezwa ambayo hainigharimu chochote.”
25 Therfor Dauid yaf to Ornam for the place sixe hundrid siclis of gold of most iust weiyte.
Basi Daudi akamlipa Arauna shekeli za dhahabu 600 kwa ajili ya ule uwanja.
26 And he bildide there an auter to the Lord, and he offride brent sacrifice and pesible sacrifices, and he inwardli clepide God; and God herde hym in fier fro heuene on the auter of brent sacrifice.
Kisha Daudi akamjengea Bwana madhabahu mahali hapo, na kutoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani. Akamwita Bwana naye Bwana akajibu maombi yake kwa moto toka mbinguni juu ya madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
27 And the Lord comaundide to the aungel, and he turnede his swerd in to the schethe.
Kisha Bwana akanena na yule malaika, naye akarudisha upanga wake katika ala yake.
28 Therfor anoon Dauid siy, that the Lord hadde herd hym in the corn floor of Ornam Jebusey, and he offride there slayn sacrifices.
Wakati huo, Daudi alipoona kwamba Bwana amemjibu kule kwenye uwanja wa kupuria nafaka wa Arauna Myebusi, akatoa dhabihu huko.
29 Forsothe the tabernacle of the Lord, that Moyses hadde maad in the deseert, and the auter of brent sacrifices, was in that tempest in the hiy place of Gabaon;
Maskani ya Bwana ambayo Mose aliitengeneza kule jangwani, pamoja na madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa wakati huo vilikuwa viko mahali pa juu pa kuabudia huko Gibeoni.
30 and Dauid myyte not go to the auter, to biseche God there, for he was aferd bi ful greet drede, seynge the swerd of the `aungel of the Lord.
Lakini Daudi hakuthubutu kuisogelea ili kumuuliza Mungu, kwa sababu aliuogopa upanga wa yule malaika wa Bwana.
