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.”

And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He moved David against them, saying: 'Go, number 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.”

And the king said to Joab the captain of the host that was with him: 'Go now to and fro through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the sum of the people.'

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?”

And Joab said unto the king: 'Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever they may be, a hundredfold, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it; but why doth my lord the king delight in this 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.

Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people 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.

And they passed over the Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and unto 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 came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and round about to Zidon,

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.

and came to the stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites; and they went out to the south of Judah, at Beer-sheba.

8 Bayan suka ratsa dukan ƙasashen, a ƙarshe suka koma Urushalima, bayan wata tara da kwana ashirin.

So when they had gone to and fro through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

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 gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto the king; and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.

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.”

And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD: 'I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, O LORD, put away, I beseech Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant; for I have done 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,

And when David rose up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying:

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 speak unto David: Thus saith the LORD: I lay upon thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.'

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 came to David, and told him, and said unto him: 'Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thy foes while they pursue thee? or shall there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise thee, and consider what answer I shall return to Him that 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.”

And David said unto Gad: 'I am in a great strait; let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for His mercies are great; and let me not fall into the hand of man.'

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 pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed; and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.

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.

And when the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented Him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people: 'It is enough; now stay thy hand.' And 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.”

And David spoke unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said: 'Lo, I have sinned, and I have done iniquitously; but these sheep, what have they done? let Thy hand, I pray Thee, be against me, and against 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 Gad came that day to David, and said unto him: 'Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.'

19 Saboda haka Dawuda ya haura, yadda Ubangiji ya umarta ta wurin Gad.

And David went up according to the saying of Gad, as the LORD commanded.

20 Da Arauna ya hangi Dawuda da mutanensa suna zuwa wajensa, sai ya fita a guje, ya je ya rusuna a gaban sarki.

And Araunah looked forth, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him; and Araunah went out, and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.

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.”

And Araunah said: 'Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant?' And David said: 'To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.'

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.”

And Araunah said unto David: 'Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him; behold the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-instruments and the furniture of the oxen for the wood.'

23 Dukan wannan, ranka yă daɗe, Arauna ya ba wa sarki. Arauna ya kuma ce, “Bari Ubangiji Allahnka yă karɓa.”

All this did Araunah the king give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king: 'The LORD thy God accept thee.'

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.

And the king said unto Araunah: 'Nay; but I will verily buy it of thee at a price; neither will I offer burnt-offerings unto the LORD my God which 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 David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
