1 Tarihi 21
1 Sai Shaiɗan ya tashi gāba da Isra’ila, ya zuga Dawuda ya ƙidaya Isra’ila.
Satan decided to cause the Israeli people to have trouble. So he incited David to find out how many men in Israel [were able to be in the army].
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.”
So David commanded Joab and the other army commanders, “Count all the men in Israel [who are able to be in the army]. Start at Beersheba [town in the south] and go all the way to Dan [city in the north]. Then come back and report to me, in order that I may know how many men there are.”
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?”
But Joab replied, “Your majesty, even if Yahweh allowed us to have 100 times as many soldiers as we have now, you would [RHQ] still rule all of them. So why do you want us to do this? You will surely [RHQ] cause [all the people of] Israel to be guilty of sinning.”
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 David would not change his mind. So Joab [and his soldiers] went everywhere in Israel and in Judah, and counted the people. Then they returned 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 they reported to David that there were 1,100,000 men in Israel who could be in the army, and 470,000 in Judah.
6 Amma Yowab bai haɗa da mutanen Lawi da na Benyamin a ƙidayar ba, domin bai ji daɗin umarnin sarki ba.
Joab did not count the men from the tribes of Levi and Benjamin, because he was disgusted with what the king had commanded.
7 Wannan umarnin mugu ne a gaban Allah; saboda haka ya hukunta Isra’ila.
David’s command to count the people caused God to become angry, so he [told David that he had decided to] punish [the people of] 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.”
Then David prayed, saying, “Yahweh, what I did was very foolish. I have sinned greatly by what I have done. So now I plead with you, please forgive me.”
9 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Gad, mai duba na Dawuda,
Then Yahweh said to Gad, David’s prophet,
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 tell this to David: I am allowing you to choose one of three things [to punish you]. I will do whichever one you choose.”
11 Saboda haka Gad ya tafi wurin Dawuda ya ce masa, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Ka yi zaɓi,
So Gad went to David and said to him, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You can choose one of these [punishments]:
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.”
three years of famine [in Israel], or three months during which your armies will run away from their enemies [who will attack them with] swords, or three days during which I will send my angel to cause many people in the country to die because of a (plague/very serious illness).’ So, you must decide what I will say to answer [Yahweh, ] the one who 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.”
David replied to Gad, “I am very distressed. But allow Yahweh to punish [MTY] me, because he is very merciful. Do not allow humans to punish me, [because they will not be merciful].”
14 Sai Ubangiji ya aiko da annoba a kan Isra’ila, mutane duba saba’in na Isra’ila suka mutu.
So Yahweh sent a plague on [the people of] Israel, and 70,000 of them died because of it.
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 an angel to destroy the people in Jerusalem by the plague. But when the angel was standing at the ground where Araunah, from the Jebus people-group, threshed grain, Yahweh saw all the suffering that the people had endured, and he was grieved. So he said to the angel, “Stop what you are doing [IDM]! That is enough [IDM]!”
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.
David looked up and saw the angel whom Yahweh had sent, standing between the sky and the ground. The angel had a sword in his hand that was pointed toward Jerusalem. Then David and the elders [of the city], who were wearing clothes made of rough sackcloth, prostrated themselves on the ground.
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.”
David said to God, “I am [RHQ] the one who ordered the men who could be in the army to be counted. I am the one who has sinned and done what is very wrong, but these people are [as innocent as] [MET] sheep. They have certainly not [RHQ] done anything [that is wrong]. So Yahweh my God, punish [IDM] me and my family, but do not allow this plague to continue to [cause] your people [to become sick and die].”
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.
Then the angel who was sent by Yahweh told Gad to go up to the place where Araunah threshed grain and tell David to build an altar to [worship] Yahweh there.
19 Saboda haka Dawuda ya haura cikin biyayya ga maganar da Allah ya yi da sunan Ubangiji.
So [after Gad told] David, [he] obeyed the message that Yahweh [MTY] had given to Gad, [and he went up there].
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.
While Araunah was threshing some wheat, he turned and saw the angel. His four sons who were with him [also saw the angel, and they] hid themselves.
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 David approached. When Araunah saw him, he left the place where he was threshing grain and prostrated himself, with his face touching 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.”
David said to him, “Please sell me your threshing place in order that I can build an altar here to [worship] Yahweh. Then he will stop this plague. I will pay the full price.”
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.”
Araunah replied, “Take it! Your majesty, do whatever you want to. I will give you the oxen [that thresh the grain] for an offering to be completely burned [on the altar]. And I will give you the threshing boards to use as wood [on the altar], and I will give you grain for a grain offering. I will give all those things to you.”
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.”
But the king said to Araunah, “No, [I will not take these things as a gift]. I will pay you the full price for it. I will not take things that belong to you, things that have cost me nothing and offer them as sacrifices to Yahweh to be completely burned on the altar.”
25 Saboda haka Dawuda ya biya Ornan shekel ɗari shida na zinariya saboda wurin.
So David paid Araunah 600 pieces of gold for the whole area.
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.
David built an altar to [worship] Yahweh there, and he offered sacrifices to be completely burned [on the altar] and sacrifices to restore fellowship [with Yahweh]. David prayed to Yahweh, and Yahweh answered by sending a fire from heaven [to burn up the offerings] on the altar.
27 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya yi magana ga mala’ikan, ya kuma mayar da takobinsa a kube.
Then Yahweh spoke to the angel, and told him to put his sword back into its sheath. [So the angel did that].
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.
And when David saw that Yahweh had answered him there at the place where Araunah threshed grain [and had ended the plague], he offered sacrifices there.
29 Tabanakul na Ubangiji da Musa ya yi a hamada, da kuma bagaden hadaya ta ƙonawa a lokacin suna a tudun Gibeyon.
Yahweh’s Sacred Tent, which Moses had commanded to be set up in the desert, and the altar for burning sacrifices completely, were at that time on a hill at Gibeon [city].
30 Amma Dawuda bai iya zuwa gabansa don yă yi tambaya ga Allah ba, gama yana jin tsoron takobin mala’ikan Ubangiji.
But David did not want to go there to request God to tell him what he wanted [him to do], because he was afraid that the angel sent from Yahweh [might strike him with] his sword.
