2 Sama’ila 24
1 Fushin Ubangiji ya sāke ƙuna a kan Isra’ila, sai ya zuga Dawuda, yana cewa, “Je ka ƙidaya Isra’ila da Yahuda.”
Again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He stirred up David against them, saying, “Go and take a census of Israel and Judah.”
2 Saboda haka sarki ya ce wa Yowab da komandodin da suke tare da shi, “Tafi cikin dukan kabilan Isra’ila, daga Dan har zuwa Beyersheba, ku ƙidaya mayaƙa don in san yawansu.”
So the king said to Joab the commander of his army, who was with him, “Go now throughout the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba and register the troops, so that I may know their number.”
3 Amma Yowab ya ce wa sarki, “Ubangiji Allahnka ya sa mayaƙan su ƙaru sau ɗari fiye da yadda suke, har ranka yă daɗe, sarki yă gani da idonsa. Me ya sa ranka yă daɗe, sarki yake so yă yi abu haka?”
But Joab replied to the king, “May the LORD your God multiply the troops a hundred times over, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king want to do such a thing?”
4 Duk da haka, maganar sarki ya rinjayi Yowab da komandodin soja, sai suka tashi daga gaban sarki, suka tafi su ƙirga mayaƙan Isra’ila.
Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders of the army departed from the presence of the king to count the troops of Israel.
5 Bayan suka ƙetare Urdun, sai suka yi sansani kusa da Arower, kudu da garin da yake cikin kwari, sa’an nan suka ratsa ta wajen Gad, suka ci gaba zuwa Yazer.
They crossed the Jordan and camped near Aroer, south of the town in the middle of the valley, and proceeded toward Gad and Jazer.
6 Suka tafi Gileyad ta yankin Tatim Hodshi, sa’an nan suka tafi Dan Ya’an, suka kuma yi wajen kewaye Sidon.
Then they went to Gilead and the land of Tahtim-hodshi, and on to Dan-jaan and around to Sidon.
7 Sa’an nan suka yi ta wajen kagarar Taya da dukan garuruwan Hiwiyawa da Kan’aniyawa. A ƙarshe, suka ci gaba zuwa Beyersheba a Negeb na Yahuda.
They went toward the fortress of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and Canaanites. Finally, they went on to the Negev of Judah, to Beersheba.
8 Bayan suka ratsa dukan ƙasashen, a ƙarshe suka koma Urushalima, bayan wata tara da kwana ashirin.
At the end of nine months and twenty days, having gone through the whole land, they returned to Jerusalem.
9 Yowab ya ba wa sarki jimillar yawan mayaƙan. A Isra’ila akwai mutum dubu ɗari takwas da za su iya riƙe takobi. A Yahuda kuwa mutum dubu ɗari biyar.
And Joab reported to the king the total number of the troops. In Israel there were 800,000 men of valor who drew the sword, and in Judah there were 500,000.
10 Bayan Dawuda ya ƙidaya mayaƙan, lamirinsa ya kāshe shi, sai ya ce wa Ubangiji, “Ya Ubangiji na yi laifi ƙwarai a kan abin da na yi. Ina roƙonka ka gafarta wa bawanka. Na yi wauta ƙwarai.”
After David had numbered the troops, his conscience was stricken and he said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. Now, O LORD, I beg You to take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.”
11 Kafin Dawuda yă tashi da safe kashegari, maganar Ubangiji ta riga ta zo wa annabin nan Gad, mai duban nan na Dawuda. Ubangiji ya ce,
When David got up in the morning, a revelation from the LORD had come to Gad the prophet, David’s seer:
12 “Je ka faɗa wa Dawuda, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ina ba ka zaɓi uku. Ka zaɓi ɗaya daga cikinsu don in aikata maka shi.’”
“Go and tell David that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am offering you three options. Choose one of them, and I will carry it out against you.’”
13 Sai Gad ya zo wurin Dawuda ya ce masa, “Kana so a yi yunwa shekara uku a ƙasarka? Ko kana so ka yi ta gudu a gaban abokan gābanka har wata uku? Ko kuwa ka fi so a yi annoba kwana uku a ƙasarka? Yanzu, sai ka yi tunani, ka yanke shawarar game da amsar da zan mayar wa wanda ya aiko ni.”
So Gad went and said to David, “Do you choose to endure three years of famine in your land, three months of fleeing the pursuit of your enemies, or three days of plague upon your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should reply to Him who sent me.”
14 Dawuda ya ce wa Gad, “Na shiga uku. Gara mu fāɗa a hannuwan Ubangiji gama alherinsa da girma yake. Amma fa kada ka bar ni in fāɗa a hannun mutane.”
David answered Gad, “I am deeply distressed. Please, let us fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men.”
15 Saboda haka Ubangiji ya aika da annoba a kan Isra’ila tun daga safe har zuwa lokacin da aka ƙayyade, mutum dubu saba’in kuwa daga Dan zuwa Beyersheba suka mutu.
So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel from that morning until the appointed time, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died.
16 Da mala’ikan Ubangiji ya miƙa hannunsa wajen Urushalima, don yă hallaka ta, sai Ubangiji ya tsai da masifar, ya ce wa mala’ikan da yake wahal da mutane, “Ya isa, ka janye hannunka.” A lokacin kuwa Mala’ikan Ubangiji yana tsaye a masussukar Arauna, mutumin Yebus.
But when the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the LORD relented from the calamity and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand now!” At that time the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
17 Da Dawuda ya ga mala’ikan da ya bubbugi mutane, sai ya ce wa Ubangiji, “Ni ne na yi zunubi, na kuma yi abin da ba daidai ba. Waɗannan tumaki ne kawai. Me suka yi? Bari hukuncinka yă sauko a kaina da iyalina.”
When David saw the angel striking down the people, he said to the LORD, “Surely I, the shepherd, have sinned and acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Please, let Your hand fall upon me and my father’s house.”
18 A ranar, Gad ya koma wurin Dawuda ya ce, “Ka tashi, ka tafi ka gina wa Ubangiji bagade a masussukar Arauna, mutumin Yebus.”
And that day Gad came to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
19 Saboda haka Dawuda ya haura, yadda Ubangiji ya umarta ta wurin Gad.
So David went up at the word of Gad, just as the LORD had commanded.
20 Da Arauna ya hangi Dawuda da mutanensa suna zuwa wajensa, sai ya fita a guje, ya je ya rusuna a gaban sarki.
When Araunah looked out and saw the king and his servants coming toward him, he went out and bowed facedown before the king.
21 Arauna ya ce, “Me ya sa ranka yă daɗe, sarki ya zo wajen bawansa?” Dawuda ya ce, “Don in saya masussukarka, saboda in gina wa Ubangiji bagade don a tsayar da annoban da suke a bisa mutane.”
“Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” Araunah said. “To buy your threshing floor,” David replied, “that I may build an altar to the LORD, so that the plague upon the people may be halted.”
22 Arauna ya ce wa Dawuda, “Bari ranka yă daɗe, sarki yă ɗauki duk abin da ya ga dama yă miƙa shi. Ga shanu, don hadaya ta ƙonawa, ga kuma kayan masussuka da itacen shanu, don itace.”
Araunah said to David, “My lord the king may take whatever seems good and offer it up. Here are the oxen for a burnt offering and the threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood.
23 Dukan wannan, ranka yă daɗe, Arauna ya ba wa sarki. Arauna ya kuma ce, “Bari Ubangiji Allahnka yă karɓa.”
O king, Araunah gives all these to the king.” He also said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.”
24 Amma sarki ya ce wa Arauna, “A’a, dole in biya ka saboda waɗannan. Ba yadda zan miƙa wa Ubangiji Allahna hadayun ƙonawa da bai ci mini kome ba.” Sai Dawuda ya saya, ya kuma biya masussukar, da shanun a bakin shekel hamsin na azurfa.
“No,” replied the king, “I insist on paying a price, for I will not offer to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25 Dawuda ya gina wa Ubangiji bagade a wurin, ya kuma miƙa masa hadaya ta ƙonawa, da hadaya ta salama. Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya amsa addu’o’in a madadin ƙasar, aka kuma kawar wa Isra’ila annoban.
And there he built an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Then the LORD answered the prayers on behalf of the land, and the plague upon Israel was halted.
