2 Samuel 24
1 And the anger of Jehovah addeth to burn against Israel, and [an adversary] moveth David about them, saying, 'Go, number Israel and Judah.'
Kutsamwa kwaMwari kwakava pamusoro pavaIsraeri zvakare, uye akakurudzira Dhavhidhi achiti, “Enda undoverenga vaIsraeri navaJudha.”
2 And the king saith unto Joab, head of the host that [is] with him, 'Go to and fro, I pray thee, through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, and inspect ye the people — and I have known the number of the people.'
Saka mambo akati kuna Joabhu navakuru vehondo vaiva naye, “Endai pakati pamarudzi ose avaIsraeri kubva kuDhani kusvikira kuBheerishebha mundonyora varume vokurwa, kuti ndizive kuti vangani varipo.”
3 And Joab saith unto the king, 'Yea, Jehovah thy God doth add unto the people, as they are, a hundred times, and the eyes of my lord the king are seeing; and my lord the king, why is he desirous of this thing?'
Asi Joabhu akapindura mambo achiti, “Jehovha Mwari wenyu ngaawanze varwi kakapetwa kupfuura rune zana, uye meso ashe wangu mambo azvione. Asi ishe wangu mambo anodireiko kuita chinhu chakadai?”
4 And the word of the king is severe towards Joab, and against the heads of the force, and Joab goeth out, and the heads of the force, [from] before the king to inspect the people, even Israel;
Kunyange zvakadaro, shoko ramambo rakakunda raJoabhu navatungamiri vehondo; saka vakabva pamberi pamambo kuti vandonyora varume vokurwa muIsraeri.
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 unto Jazer,
Shure kwokuyambuka Jorodhani, vakadzika matende avo pedyo neAroeri, zasi kweguta riri mumupata, uye ipapo vakaenda napakati peGadhi vakandosvika kuJazeri.
6 and they come in to Gilead, and unto the land of Tahtim-Hodshi, and they come in to Dan-Jaan, and round about unto Zidon,
Vakaenda kuGireadhi nokudunhu reTahitimi Hodhishi, uye napaDhani Joani uye vakapoterera nokuSidhoni.
7 and they come in to the fortress of Tyre, and all the cities of the Hivite, and of the Canaanite, and go out unto the south of Judah, to Beer-Sheba.
Ipapo vakaenda vakananga kunhare yeTire nokumaguta ose avaHivhi navaKenani. Pakupedzisira, vakaenda kuBheerishebha zasi kweJudha.
8 And they go to and fro through all the land, and come in at the end of nine months and twenty days to Jerusalem,
Mushure mokuenda kwavo munyika yose, vakadzoka kuJerusarema papera mwedzi mipfumbamwe namazuva makumi maviri.
9 and Joab giveth the account of the inspection of the people unto the king, and Israel is eight hundred thousand men of valour, drawing sword, and the men of Judah five hundred thousand men.
Joabhu akazivisa uwandu hwavanhu kuna mambo akati: MuIsraeri makanga mune mazana masere ezviuru zvavarume vakanga vakasimba, vaigona kubata munondo, uye muJudha maiva namazana mashanu ezviuru.
10 And the heart of David smiteth him, after that he hath numbered the people, and David saith unto Jehovah, 'I have sinned greatly in that which I have done, and now, O Jehovah, cause to pass away, I pray Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant, for I have acted very foolishly.'
Hana yaDhavhidhi yakarova shure kwokuverenga kwake varume vokurwa, akati kuna Jehovha, “Ndatadza zvikuru pane zvandaita. Haiwa Jehovha, zvino ndinokukumbirai, bvisa mhaka yomuranda wenyu. Ndaita chinhu choupenzi kwazvo.”
11 And David riseth in the morning, and the word of Jehovah hath been unto Gad the prophet, seer of David, saying,
Zvino Dhavhidhi akati achimuka mangwanani, shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Gadhi muprofita, muoni waDhavhidhi richiti,
12 'Go, and thou hast spoken unto David, Thus said Jehovah: Three — I am lifting up for thee, choose thee one of them, and I do [it] to thee.'
“Enda undoudza Dhavhidhi kuti, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha: Ndiri kukupa zvinhu zvitatu. Sarudza chimwe chete chazvo kuti ndichiite pamusoro pako.’”
13 And Gad cometh in unto David, and declareth to him, and saith to him, 'Do seven years of famine come in to thee in thy land? or three months art thou fleeing before thine adversary — and he pursuing thee? or are three days' pestilence in thy land? now, know and see what word I take back to Him sending me.'
Saka Gadhi akaenda kuna Dhavhidhi akati kwaari, “Unoda kuti munyika yako muve nenzara kwamakore matatu here? Kana kuti mwedzi mitatu yokutiza kubva kuvavengi vako ivo vachikudzinganisa? Kana kuti mazuva matatu edenda munyika yako? Zvino funga pamusoro pazvo ugosarudza kuti ndingandopindura sei iye andituma.”
14 And David saith unto Gad, 'I have great distress, let us fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah, for many [are] His mercies, and into the hand of man let me not fall.'
Dhavhidhi akati kuna Gadhi, “Ndiri pakutambudzika kukuru. Ngatiwirei hedu mumaoko aJehovha, nokuti ngoni dzake ihuru; asi musandirega ndichiwira mumaoko avanhu.”
15 And Jehovah giveth a pestilence on Israel from the morning even unto the time appointed, and there die of the people, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, seventy thousand men,
Saka Jehovha akatuma denda pamusoro peIsraeri kubva mangwanani iwayo kusvikira panguva yakatarwa, uye vanhu zviuru makumi manomwe vakafa kubva kuDhani kusvikira kuBheerishebha.
16 and the messenger putteth forth his hand to Jerusalem to destroy it, and Jehovah repenteth concerning the evil, and saith to the messenger who is destroying among the people, 'Enough, now, cease thy hand;' and the messenger of Jehovah was near the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Mutumwa akati atandavadza ruoko rwake kuti aparadze Jerusarema, Jehovha akazvidemba nokuda kwenjodzi iyi akati kumutumwa akanga achiparadza vanhu, “Zvaringana! Dzora ruoko rwako.” Mutumwa waJehovha ipapo akanga ava paburiro raArauna muJebhusi.
17 And David speaketh unto Jehovah, when he seeth the messenger who is smiting among the people, and saith, 'Lo, I have sinned, yea, I have done perversely; and these — the flock — what have they done? Let, I pray Thee, Thy hand be on me, and on the house of my father.'
Dhavhidhi akati aona mutumwa akanga achiuraya vanhu, akati kuna Jehovha, “Ini ndini ndakatadza uye ndikaita zvakaipa. Ava vanongova havo makwai chete. Chiiko chavakaita? Ruoko rwenyu ngaruwire pamusoro pangu ini nemhuri yangu.”
18 And Gad cometh in unto David on that day, and saith to him, 'Go up, raise to Jehovah an altar in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite;'
Pazuva iro Gadhi akaenda kuna Dhavhidhi akati kwaari, “Kwira undovakira Jehovha aritari paburiro raArauna muJebhusi.”
19 and David goeth up, according to the word of Gad, as Jehovah commanded.
Saka Dhavhidhi akakwira sezvaakanga arayirwa naJehovha kubudikidza naGadhi.
20 And Araunah looketh, and seeth the king and his servants passing over unto him, and Araunah goeth out and boweth himself to the king — his face to the earth.
Arauna akati atarisa akaona mambo navanhu vake vachiuya vakananga kwaari, akabuda akandokotamira pasi pamberi pamambo chiso chake chakatsikitsira pasi.
21 And Araunah saith, 'Wherefore hath my lord the king come unto his servant?' and David saith, 'To buy from thee the threshing-floor, to build an altar to Jehovah, and the plague is restrained from the people.'
Arauna akati, “Seiko ishe wangu mambo auya kumuranda wake?” Dhavhidhi akapindura akati, “Kuzotenga buriro rako, kuti ndivakire Jehovha aritari, kuti denda riri pamusoro pavanhu rigume.”
22 And Araunah saith unto David, 'Let my lord the king take and cause to ascend that which is good in his eyes; see, the oxen for a burnt-offering, and the threshing instruments, and the instruments of the oxen, for wood;'
Arauna akati kuna Dhavhidhi, “Ishe wangu mambo ngaatore zvose zvinomufadza agozvipira kuna Jehovha. Hedzi nzombe dzechibayiro chinopiswa, neiyi mipuro namajoko enzombe kuti dzive huni.
23 the whole hath Araunah given, [as] a king to a king; and Araunah saith unto the king, 'Jehovah thy God doth accept thee.'
Haiwa mambo, Arauna anopa zvose izvi kuna mambo.” Arauna akatizve kwaari, “Jehovha Mwari wenyu ngaakugamuchirei.”
24 And the king saith unto Araunah, 'Nay, for I do surely buy from thee for a price, and I do not cause to ascend to Jehovah my God burnt-offerings for nought;' and David buyeth the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver,
Asi mambo akapindura Arauna akati, “Kwete, ndinoda kuzvitenga kwauri. Handingabayiri Jehovha Mwari wangu zvibayiro zvinopiswa zvandisina kutenga.” Saka Dhavhidhi akatenga buriro nenzombe uye akazvipira namakumi mashanu amashekeri esirivha.
25 and David buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and causeth to ascend burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and Jehovah is entreated for the land, and the plague is restrained from Israel.
Dhavhidhi akavakira Jehovha aritari ipapo uye akabayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuwadzana. Ipapo Jehovha akapindura munyengetero wokukumbirira nyika, uye denda rikapera pamusoro peIsraeri.
