< Kronika 1 21 >
1 Eva eme be Satana tsi tsitre ɖe Israel ŋu eye wòdee David me be wòaxlẽ Israel blibo la.
USathane wasesukuma emelana loIsrayeli, wavusa uDavida ukuthi abale uIsrayeli.
2 David gblɔ na Yoab kple kplɔla bubuawo be, “Miɖaxlẽ Israelviwo tso Beerseba va se ɖe Dan eye miana manya woƒe xexlẽme.”
Ngakho uDavida wathi kuJowabi lakubabusi babantu: Hambani libale uIsrayeli kusukela eBherishebha kuze kufike koDani, lilethe kimi ukuze ngazi inani labo.
3 Ke Yoab melɔ̃ ɖe nya sia dzi o. Ebia David be, “Ne Yehowa na eƒe amewo dzi ɖe edzi zi alafa ɖeka hã la, ɖe wo katã manye tɔwòwo oa? Nu ka ta nèle didim be míawɔ nu sia? Nu ka ta nàna Israel nakpɔ fɔbubu?”
UJowabi wasesithi: INkosi kayandise ebantwini bayo njengoba benjalo ngokulikhulu. Nkosi yami, nkosi, abasizo bonke yini izinceku zenkosi yami? Inkosi yami ikufunelani lokhu? Izakuba licala ngani kuIsrayeli?
4 Ke fia la ƒe nya ɖu Yoab kple aʋafia bubuawo tɔ dzi ta la, Yoab wɔ nu si wòɖo nɛ. Ezɔ mɔ to Israelnyigba blibo la dzi eye wòtrɔ yi Yerusalem.
Kodwa ilizwi lenkosi laba lamandla phezu kukaJowabi. Ngakho uJowabi waphuma, wahambahamba phakathi kukaIsrayeli wonke; wafika eJerusalema.
5 Yoab gblɔ na David be, ame siwo ate ŋu awɔ aʋa la nye ame miliɔn ɖeka akpe alafa ɖeka le Israel kple ame akpe alafa ene blaadre le Yuda.
UJowabi wasenika uDavida inani lokubalwa kwabantu. Njalo wonke uIsrayeli wayengamadoda azinkulungwane ezizinkulungwane lezinkulungwane ezilikhulu ahwatsha inkemba; loJuda wayengamadoda azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amane lamatshumi ayisikhombisa ahwatsha inkemba.
6 Ke mexlẽ Leviviwo kple Benyaminviwo de ame siawo me o elabena mekpɔ dzidzɔ le nu si fia la zi edzi be wòawɔ la ŋu o.
Kodwa uLevi loBhenjamini kababalanga phakathi kwabo, ngoba ilizwi lenkosi lalinengeka kuJowabi.
7 Mawu hã mekpɔ dzidzɔ le amexexlẽ sia ŋu o, eya ta wòhe to na Israel ɖe eta.
Njalo kwaba kubi emehlweni kaNkulunkulu mayelana lalindaba; ngakho wamtshaya uIsrayeli.
8 David gblɔ na Mawu be, “Nyee nye ame si wɔ nu vɔ̃, meɖe kuku, tsɔe kem, medze si nu vɔ̃ si mewɔ le nu sia wɔwɔ me.”
UDavida wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Ngonile kakhulu ngoba ngenze linto. Kodwa khathesi, ake wedlulise ububi benceku yakho, ngoba ngenze ngobuthutha obukhulu.
9 Yehowa gblɔ na Gad, ame si nye nukpɔla na David be,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuGadi umboni kaDavida isithi:
10 “Yi, nàgblɔ na David be, ‘Nya si Yehowa gblɔe nye: Metsɔ nu etɔ̃ le dadam ɖe wò ŋkume. Tia wo dometɔ ɖeka ne mawɔ eŋu dɔ ɖe ŋutiwò.’”
Hamba ukhulume kuDavida uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Mina ngikubekela okuthathu; zikhethele okunye kukho engizakwenza kuwe.
11 Ale Gad yi David gbɔ eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Nya si Yehowa gblɔe nye, ‘Tsɔ ɖeka le nu etɔ̃awo dome.
UGadi wasefika kuDavida wathi kuye: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Zikhethele:
12 Ne èlɔ̃ la, àtia be dɔwuame nava anyigba la dzi ƒe etɔ̃ loo, alo Israel ƒe futɔwo nasi mi ɣleti etɔ̃ loo alo Yehowa ƒe dɔla nana dɔvɔ̃ nawu amewo le anyigba la dzi ŋkeke etɔ̃. Bu eŋuti nyuie eye nàna manya ŋuɖoɖo si matsɔ ayi na ame si dɔm la.’”
Kumbe iminyaka emithathu yendlala; loba inyanga ezintathu uqedwa ebusweni bezitha zakho lenkemba yezitha zakho ikufice; kumbe insuku ezintathu inkemba yeNkosi, ngitsho umatshayabhuqe wesifo, elizweni, lengilosi yeNkosi ichitha kuwo wonke umngcele wakoIsrayeli. Ngakho-ke bona ukuthi yimpendulo bani engizayibuyisela kongithumileyo.
13 David gblɔ na Gad be, “Meɖo xaxa gã aɖe me. Na madze Yehowa ƒe asi me le eƒe nublanuikpɔkpɔ sɔ gbɔ la ta, ke mègana madze amegbetɔ ƒe asi me o.”
UDavida wasesithi kuGadi: Ngicindezelwe kakhulu; ake ngiwele esandleni seNkosi, ngoba izisa zayo zinengi kakhulu; kodwa kangingaweli esandleni somuntu.
14 Ale Yehowa na dɔvɔ̃ va Israelnyigba dzi eye wòwu ame akpe blaadre.
Ngakho iNkosi yathuma umatshayabhuqe wesifo koIsrayeli; kwasekusiwa abantu abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa.
15 Le dɔvɔ̃ la ƒe ɣeyiɣi me la, Mawu ɖo mawudɔla aɖe ɖa be wòagbã Yerusalem, ke egakpɔ nublanui na du la ale gbegbe be, wòtrɔ ta me eye wòɖe gbe na mawudɔla la be, “Esɔ gbɔ!” Mawudɔla la nɔ tsitre ɖe Arauna, Yebusitɔ la ƒe lugbɔƒe ɣe ma ɣi.
UNkulunkulu wasethuma ingilosi eJerusalema ukuyibhubhisa; njalo isayibhubhisa, iNkosi yabona yazisola ngalobobubi, yasisithi kuyo ingilosi ebhubhisayo: Kwanele, khathesi buyisa isandla sakho. Ingilosi yeNkosi yayimi-ke ebaleni lokubhulela likaOrinani umJebusi.
16 Esi David kpɔ mawudɔla la wònɔ tsitre ɖe dziƒo kple anyigba dome, ɖe eƒe yi le aku me eye wòdoe ɖe Yerusalem gbɔ la, eya kple Israel ƒe ametsitsiwo ta akpanya eye wodze anyi ɖe Yehowa ŋkume, le konyifafa me.
UDavida wasephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona ingilosi yeNkosi imi phakathi komhlaba lamazulu lenkemba yayo ehwatshiweyo esandleni sayo iyelulele phezu kweJerusalema. UDavida labadala begqoke-ke amasaka bathi mbo ngobuso babo.
17 David gblɔ na Mawu be, “Nyee nye ame si wɔ nu vɔ̃ be mena be woaxlẽ amewo. Ke nu kae alẽ siawo ya wɔ? Oo, Yehowa, nye Mawu, tsrɔ̃ nye kple nye ƒome, ke mègatsrɔ̃ wò amewo o.”
UDavida wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Kakusimi yini othe kababale abantu? Yebo yimi owonileyo owenze okubi sibili. Kodwa lezizimvu zenzeni? Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, isandla sakho ake sibe phezu kwami laphezu kwendlu kababa, kodwa hatshi phezu kwabantu bakho ukuthi bahlutshwe.
18 Yehowa ƒe dɔla gblɔ na Gad be wòagblɔ na David be wòatu vɔsamlekpui na Yehowa ɖe Arauna, Yebusitɔ la ƒe lugbɔƒe.
Ingilosi yeNkosi yasisithi kuGadi katshele uDavida ukuthi uDavida kenyuke ayekwakhela iNkosi ilathi ebaleni lokubhulela likaOrinani umJebusi.
19 Ale David wɔ ɖe nya si Gad gblɔ nɛ le Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ me la dzi.
UDavida wasesenyuka ngelizwi likaGadi alikhuluma ngebizo leNkosi.
20 Esime Arauna nɔ lu gbɔm la, enye kɔ eye wòkpɔ mawudɔla la; Via ŋutsu ene siwo nɔ egbɔ la, ɣla wo ɖokuiwo.
UOrinani enyemukula wabona ingilosi; lamadodana akhe amane ayelaye acatsha. UOrinani wayebhula-ke ingqoloyi.
21 Esi David va Arauna gbɔ eye Arauna fɔ kɔ dzi kpɔe la, Arauna dzo le lugbɔƒe la eye wòɖade ta agu tsyɔ mo anyi ɖe David ƒe ŋkume.
UDavida esefika kuOrinani, uOrinani wakhangela wambona uDavida, waphuma ebaleni lokubhulela, wakhothamela uDavida ngobuso emhlabathini.
22 David gblɔ na Arauna be, “Tsɔ wò lugbɔƒe la nam ale be maɖi vɔsamlekpui na Yehowa ɖe edzi be dɔvɔ̃ si le dukɔa dzi la nu natso. Dzrae nam ɖe asi si wòaxɔ tututu la nu.”
UDavida wasesithi kuOrinani: Nginika indawo yebala lokubhulela ukuze ngakhele iNkosi ilathi kuyo; nginike yona ngemali egcweleyo, ukuze inhlupheko imiswe ebantwini.
23 Arauna gblɔ na David be, “Xɔe! Nye aƒetɔ, fia la newɔ nu sia nu si dze eŋu. Kpɔ ɖa, mana nyitsu hena numevɔsa la, luƒotiwo hena nake eye lu hena nuɖuvɔsa la. Matsɔ esiawo katã na wò.”
UOrinani wasesithi kuDavida: Zithathele, inkosi yami inkosi kayenze okuhle emehlweni ayo; khangela, ngiyanika inkabi zibe yiminikelo yokutshiswa, lezimbulo zibe zinkuni, lengqoloyi ibe ngumnikelo wokudla. Ngiyanika konke.
24 Fia David ɖo eŋu na Arauna be, “Ao, maƒlee ko. Maxe fe si dze la, ɖe eta. Nyemate ŋu atsɔ nu si nye tɔwò la asa vɔe na Yehowa, asa numevɔ kple nu siwo ta nyemexe fe aɖeke ɖo o!”
Kodwa inkosi uDavida yathi kuOrinani: Hatshi, kodwa ngizathenga lokuthenga ngemali egcweleyo; ngoba kangiyikuthathela iNkosi okwakho, loba nginikele iminikelo yokutshiswa ngaphandle kwentengo.
25 Ale David xe sikaga kilogram adre na Arauna ɖe lugbɔƒe la ta.
UDavida wasemnika uOrinani ngaleyondawo amashekeli angamakhulu ayisithupha egolide ngesisindo.
26 David ɖi vɔsamlekpui na Yehowa ɖe afi ma eye wòsa numevɔ kple akpedavɔ le edzi. Edo gbe ɖa na Yehowa eye Yehowa ɖo eŋu nɛ heɖo dzo ɖa tso dziƒo wòva bi vɔsa la le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
UDavida waseyakhela khona iNkosi ilathi, wanikela iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula, wayibiza iNkosi; yasimphendula ngomlilo ovela emazulwini phezu kwelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa.
27 Tete Yehowa ɖe gbe na mawudɔla la be wòatsɔ eƒe yi la ade aku me.
INkosi yasilaya ingilosi; yasibuyisela inkemba yayo esikhwameni sayo.
28 Le ɣe ma ɣi me, esi David kpɔ be Yehowa ɖo yeƒe gbedodoɖa ŋu le Yebusitɔ, Arauna ƒe lugbɔƒea la, esa vɔwo le afi ma.
Ngalesosikhathi uDavida esebonile ukuthi iNkosi imphendule ebaleni lokubhulela likaOrinani umJebusi, wanikela khona imihlatshelo.
29 Yehowa ƒe Agbadɔ si Mose tu le gbedzi ƒe vɔsamlekpui si dzi wowɔ numevɔsa le ɣe ma ɣi me la nɔ Gibeon ƒe vɔsaƒe.
Ngoba ithabhanekele leNkosi uMozisi ayelenze enkangala lelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa ngalesosikhathi kwakusendaweni ephakemeyo eGibeyoni.
30 Ke David mete ŋu yi vɔsaƒe la ne wòabia gbe Yehowa o elabena evɔ̃ na Yehowa ƒe dɔla la ƒe yi.
Kodwa uDavida wayengelakho ukuhamba phambi kwalo ukudinga uNkulunkulu, ngoba wethuswa yinkemba yengilosi yeNkosi.
