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 LORD’s anger burned 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 captain of the army, who was with him, “Now go back and forth through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and count 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?”
Joab said to the king, “Now may the LORD your God add to the people, however many they may be, one hundred times; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does 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 army. Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king 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 passed over the Jordan and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and to 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 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.
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 Beersheba.
8 Bayan suka ratsa dukan ƙasashen, a ƙarshe suka koma Urushalima, bayan wata tara da kwana ashirin.
So when they had gone back and forth 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.
Joab gave up the sum of the counting of the people to the king; and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who 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.”
David’s heart struck him after he had counted the people. David said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in that which I have done. But now, the LORD, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your 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,
When David rose up in the morning, the LORD’s word 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 and speak to David, ‘The LORD says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to 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 came to David, and told him, saying, “Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ pestilence in your land? Now answer, and consider what answer I shall 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.”
David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let us fall now into the LORD’s hand, for his mercies are great. Let me not fall into man’s hand.”
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 on Israel from the morning even to the appointed time; and seventy thousand men died of the people from Dan even 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 stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” The LORD’s angel 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.”
David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, “Behold, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand 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.”
Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up, 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.
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.
Araunah looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him. Then Araunah went out and bowed himself 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.”
Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” David said, “To buy your threshing floor, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting 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, “Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Behold, the cattle for the burnt offering, and the threshing sledges and the yokes 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, O king, does Araunah give to the king.” Araunah 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.
The king said to Araunah, “No, but I will most certainly buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to 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.
David built an altar to the LORD there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was removed from Israel.
