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 Yahweh was ignited against Israel, and he moved David against them saying, “Go, count 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.”
The king said to Joab the commander of the army, who was with him, “Go throughout all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and count all the people, so that I may know the total number of men fit for battle.”
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?”
Joab said to the king, “May Yahweh your God multiply the number of people a hundred times, and may the eyes of my master the king see it take place. But why does my master the king want this?”
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 was final against Joab and against the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders went out from the king's presence to count 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.
They crossed over the Jordan and encamped near Aroer, south of the city in the valley. Then they traveled on through Gad to Jazer.
6 Suka tafi Gileyad ta yankin Tatim Hodshi, sa’an nan suka tafi Dan Ya’an, suka kuma yi wajen kewaye Sidon.
They came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi, then on to Dan Jaan and around toward 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 reached the stronghold of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and the Canaanites. Then they went out to the Negev in Judah at Beersheba.
8 Bayan suka ratsa dukan ƙasashen, a ƙarshe suka koma Urushalima, bayan wata tara da kwana ashirin.
When they had gone throughout all the land, they came back 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.
Then Joab reported the total of the count of the fighting men to the king. There were in Israel 800,000 brave men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were 500,000 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.”
Then David's heart afflicted him after he had counted the men. So he said to Yahweh, “I have greatly sinned by doing this. Now, Yahweh, take away your servant's guilt, 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 rose up in the morning, the word of Yahweh came to 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 say to David: 'This is what Yahweh says: “I am giving you three choices. Choose one of them.”'”
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 to David and said to him, “Will three years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months from your enemies while they pursue you? Or will there be three days of plague in your land? Now decide what answer I should return 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.”
Then David said to Gad, “I am in deep trouble. Let us fall into Yahweh's hands rather than into the hand of man, for his merciful actions are very great.”
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 Yahweh sent a plague on Israel from the morning to a fixed time, and seventy thousand people died from Dan to Beersheba.
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.
When the angel reached out with his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, Yahweh changed his mind because of the harm it would cause, and he said to the angel who was destroying people, “Enough! Now draw back your hand.” At that time the angel of Yahweh was standing at 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.”
Then David spoke to Yahweh when he saw the angel who had attacked the people, and said, “I have sinned, and I have acted perversely. But these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand punish me and my father's family!”
18 A ranar, Gad ya koma wurin Dawuda ya ce, “Ka tashi, ka tafi ka gina wa Ubangiji bagade a masussukar Arauna, mutumin Yebus.”
Then Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar for Yahweh at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
19 Saboda haka Dawuda ya haura, yadda Ubangiji ya umarta ta wurin Gad.
So David went up as Gad instructed him to do, as Yahweh 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.
Araunah looked out and saw the king and his servants approaching. So Araunah went out and bowed to 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.”
Then Araunah said, “Why has my master the king come to me, his servant?” David replied, “To buy your threshing floor, so I can build an altar for Yahweh, so that the plague may be removed 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.”
Araunah said to David, “Take it as your own, my master the king. Do with it what is good in your sight. Look, here are oxen for the burnt offering and 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.”
All this, my king, I, Araunah, will give to you.” Then he said to the king, “May Yahweh 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.
The king said to Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it at a price. I will not offer as a burnt offering to Yahweh anything that costs 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.
David built an altar for Yahweh there and offered on it burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. So Yahweh answered the prayer on behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was confined.
