1 Tarihi 21
1 Sai Shaiɗan ya tashi gāba da Isra’ila, ya zuga Dawuda ya ƙidaya Isra’ila.
Then the accuser stood up, against Israel, —and moved David, to number Israel.
2 Saboda haka Dawuda ya ce wa Yowab da shugabannin mayaƙa, “Ku tafi ku ƙidaya Isra’ilawa daga Beyersheba zuwa Dan. Ku kawo mini labarin saboda in san su nawa ne.”
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.
3 Amma Yowab ya amsa ya ce, “Ubangiji ya riɓaɓɓanya mayaƙansa fiye da sau ɗari. Ranka yă daɗe sarki, dukansu ba bayin shugabana ba ne? Me ya sa ranka yă daɗe yake so yă yi haka? Me zai sa ka kawo laifi a kan Isra’ila?”
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?
4 Amma sarki ya nace a kan maganar da ya yi wa Yowab. Sai Yowab ya tashi ya tafi cikin dukan Isra’ila, ya kewaye sa’an nan ya dawo Urushalima.
But, the word of the king, prevailed against Joab, —and Joab departed, and went to and fro throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Yowab ya ba labarin yawan mayaƙan wa Dawuda. A cikin Isra’ila akwai mutum miliyon da dubu ɗari ɗaya waɗanda za su iya riƙe takobi, haɗe da dubu ɗari huɗu da saba’in a Yahuda.
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.
6 Amma Yowab bai haɗa da mutanen Lawi da na Benyamin a ƙidayar ba, domin bai ji daɗin umarnin sarki ba.
But, Levi and Benjamin, counted he not among them, —for detestable was the word of the king unto Joab.
7 Wannan umarnin mugu ne a gaban Allah; saboda haka ya hukunta Isra’ila.
And it was displeasing in the eyes of God, concerning this thing, —therefore smote he Israel.
8 Sai Dawuda ya ce wa Allah, “Na yi zunubi ƙwarai ta wurin yin wannan. Yanzu, na roƙe ka, ka ɗauke laifin bawanka. Na yi wauta sosai.”
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.
9 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Gad, mai duba na Dawuda,
Then spake Yahweh unto Gad, the seer of David saying:
10 “Tafi ka faɗa wa Dawuda, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce ina ba ka abubuwa uku. Ka zaɓi ɗaya daga cikinsu don in aikata a kanka.’”
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.
11 Saboda haka Gad ya tafi wurin Dawuda ya ce masa, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Ka yi zaɓi,
So Gad came unto David, —and said to him, Thus, saith Yahweh,
12 shekara uku na yunwa, wata uku na shan ɗibga a gaban abokan gābanka, sa’ad da za su bi suna kakkashe ku, ko kuwa kwana uku na takobin Ubangiji, ranakun annoba a cikin ƙasar, mala’ikan Ubangiji zai hallaka kowane sashe na Isra’ila.’ Yanzu sai ka yanke shawara yadda zan amsa wa wanda ya aiko ni.”
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.
13 Dawuda ya ce wa Gad, “Na shiga uku. Bari in fāɗa a hannuwan Ubangiji, gama jinƙansa yana da girma sosai; amma kada ka bari in fāɗa a hannuwan mutane.”
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.
14 Sai Ubangiji ya aiko da annoba a kan Isra’ila, mutane duba saba’in na Isra’ila suka mutu.
So Yahweh laid pestilence, upon Israel, —and there fell, of Israel, seventy thousand men.
15 Allah kuwa ya aiki mala’ika yă hallaka Urushalima. Amma yayinda mala’ikan yana gab da yin haka, sai Ubangiji ya gani ya kuma yi nadama saboda masifar, sai ya ce wa mala’ikan wanda yake hallaka mutane, “Ya isa! Janye hannunka.” Mala’ikan Ubangiji kuwa yana tsaye a masussukar Ornan mutumin Yebus.
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.
16 Sai Dawuda ya ɗaga ido ya ga mala’ikan Ubangiji tsaye tsakanin sama da duniya, da takobi a zāre a hannunsa ya miƙa a kan Urushalima. Sai Dawuda da dattawa, saye da rigunan makoki suka fāɗi rubda jiki.
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.
17 Dawuda ya ce wa Allah, “Ba ni ba ne na umarta a ƙidaya mayaƙan? Ni ne wanda ya yi zunubin da kuma abin da ba daidai ba. Waɗannan dai tumaki ne. Me suka yi? Ya Ubangiji Allahna, bari hannunka ya fāɗi a kaina da kuma iyalina, amma kada ka bar wannan annoba ya kasance a kan mutanenka.”
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!
18 Sa’an nan mala’ikan Ubangiji ya umarci Gad yă faɗa wa Dawuda yă haura yă gina bagade wa Ubangiji a masussukar Ornan mutumin Yebus.
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.
19 Saboda haka Dawuda ya haura cikin biyayya ga maganar da Allah ya yi da sunan Ubangiji.
So David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spake in the name of Yahweh.
20 Yayinda Ornan yake sussukar alkama, sai ya juya ya ga mala’ika;’ya’yansa maza guda huɗu da suke tare da shi suka ɓuya.
And Ornan turned, and saw the messenger, but, his four sons with him, were hiding themselves, —now, Ornan, had been threshing wheat.
21 Sai Dawuda ya kusato, sa’ad da Ornan ya duba sai ya gan shi, ya bar masussukar ya rusuna a gaban Dawuda da fuskarsa har ƙasa.
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.
22 Dawuda ya ce wa Ornan, “Ka ba ni masussukarka saboda in gina bagade wa Ubangiji, don annobar da take kan mutane tă daina. Ka sayar mini ita a cikakken kuɗinta.”
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.
23 Ornan ya ce wa Dawuda, “Ka karɓa! Bari ranka yă daɗe, sarki yă yi duk abin da ya ga ya yi masa kyau. Duba, zan ba da shanu domin hadaya ta ƙonawa, da itacen sussuka, da kuma alkama domin hadaya ta gari. Zan ba da dukan wannan.”
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.
24 Amma Sarki Dawuda ya amsa wa Ornan ya ce, “A’a, na nace zan biya cikakken kuɗinta. Ba zan karɓi abinka kawai don Ubangiji ba, ko in miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawar da ba tă ci mini wani abu ba.”
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.
25 Saboda haka Dawuda ya biya Ornan shekel ɗari shida na zinariya saboda wurin.
So David gave to Ornan, for the place, —shekels of gold, by weight, six hundred.
26 Dawuda ya gina bagade wa Ubangiji a can ya kuma miƙa hadayu na ƙonawa da hadayu na salama, Ubangiji kuwa ya amsa masa ta wurin wuta daga sama a kan bagaden hadaya ta ƙonawa.
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.
27 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya yi magana ga mala’ikan, ya kuma mayar da takobinsa a kube.
And Yahweh gave word to tile messenger, and he put back his sword into its sheath.
28 A lokacin, sa’ad da Dawuda ya ga cewa Ubangiji ya amsa masa a masussukar Ornan mutumin Yebus, sai ya miƙa hadayu a can.
At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29 Tabanakul na Ubangiji da Musa ya yi a hamada, da kuma bagaden hadaya ta ƙonawa a lokacin suna a tudun Gibeyon.
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;
30 Amma Dawuda bai iya zuwa gabansa don yă yi tambaya ga Allah ba, gama yana jin tsoron takobin mala’ikan Ubangiji.
and David could not go before it, to seek God, —for he had been terrified, because of the sword of the messenger of Yahweh.
