< 2 Samuel 24 >

1 Ọzọkwa, Onyenwe anyị were iwe dị ọkụ megide Izrel. Ọ kpaliri Devid imegide ha, sị, “Gaa gụọ Izrel na Juda ọnụ.”
Awo Mukama n’asunguwalira Isirayiri nate, n’aleetera Dawudi okubabala. Dawudi n’alagira nti, “Genda obale Isirayiri ne Yuda.”
2 Ya mere, eze gwara Joab na ndịisi ọchịagha ya ha so, “Jegharịa nʼebo niile nke Izrel, site na Dan ruo Bịasheba, gụkọtaa ndị tozuru ije agha nʼIzrel niile ka m nwee ike mata ole ọnụọgụgụ ha dị.”
Kabaka n’alagira Yowaabu n’abaduumizi ab’eggye nti, “Mugende mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri okuva e Ddaani okutuuka e Beeruseba mubale abantu, ntegeere omuwendo gwabwe.”
3 Joab zaghachiri eze, “Ka Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị, mee ka ndị agha mụbaa, otu onye narị ụzọ, otu onye narị ụzọ karịa. Ka anya onyenwe m, bụ eze, hụkwa ya. Ma nʼihi gịnị ka onyenwe m bụ eze ji chọọ ime ihe dị otu a?”
Naye Yowaabu n’addamu kabaka nti, “Mukama Katonda wo ayongere ku bantu bo emirundi kikumi n’okusingawo, nga mukama wange kabaka akyali mulamu. Naye kiki ekikukoza ekintu bwe kityo mukama wange kabaka?”
4 Ma okwu eze dị ike karịa nke Joab na nke ndị ọchịagha ahụ. Ya mere, ha hapụrụ ihu eze pụọ ịgụ ndị agha Izrel ọnụ.
Naye ekigambo kya kabaka ne kisinga amaanyi ebigambo bya Yowaabu n’abaduumizi b’eggye, era ne bava mu maaso ga kabaka ne batanula okubala abantu ba Isirayiri.
5 Mgbe ha gabigachara Jọdan, ha manyere ụlọ ikwu ha na nso Aroea, nʼaka nri obodo ahụ dị nʼetiti ndagwurugwu Gad na-eru Jeza,
Oluvannyuma olw’okusomoka Yoludaani, ne basiisira okumpi ne Aloweri ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo olw’ekibuga mu kiwonvu, ne bayitira mu Gaadi okutuuka e Yazeri.
6 ha gara Gilead ruokwa nʼala Taatim Hodshi, bịarukwaa Dan Jaan, jee gburugburu jeruo Saịdọn.
Ne bagenda e Gireyaadi ne mu kitundu kya Tatimukodusi, ne batuuka e Ddaani-Yaani ne beebungulula ne baggukira e Sidoni.
7 Ha jere ruokwa nʼebe e wusiri ike nke Taịa, na obodo niile nke ndị Hiv, na nke ndị Kenan. Nʼikpeazụ, ha gaara ruo Bịasheba nʼime ndịda Juda.
Ne bagenda ku kigo eky’e Ttuulo ne mu bibuga byonna eby’Abakiivi n’eby’Abakanani, ne bakomekkereza omulimu gwabwe e Beeruseba mu bukiikaddyo obwa Yuda.
8 Mgbe ha jegharịchara nʼala ahụ niile; ha lọghachitere na Jerusalem na ngwụcha ọnwa nke itoolu na iri abalị abụọ ya.
Awo oluvannyuma olw’okuyitaayita mu nsi yonna omulimu nga bagukoledde emyezi mwenda n’ennaku amakumi abiri, ne baddayo e Yerusaalemi.
9 Joab nyere eze ngụkọta ọnụọgụgụ nke ndị agha Izrel. NʼIzrel, ha dị narị puku asatọ, bụ ndị ikom ndị tozuru iji mma agha buo agha, na Juda ha dị narị puku ise.
Yowaabu n’awaayo omuwendo gw’abantu bonna eri kabaka. Mu Isirayiri mwaweramu abasajja abalwanyi emitwalo kinaana, ne mu Yuda ne muweramu abasajja abalwanyi emitwalo amakumi ataano.
10 Ma obi Devid bidoro ịta ya ụta mgbe ọ gụchara ndị ikom na-alụ agha ọnụ. Ọ sịrị Onyenwe anyị, “Emehiela m nke ukwuu nʼihi ihe m mere. Ma ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị biko, arịọ m gị, wezuga ikpe ọmụma nke dịịrị ohu gị; nʼihi na emeela m ihe nzuzu dị ukwuu.”
Naye Dawudi n’akeŋŋeentererwa emmeeme olw’ekikolwa ekyo eky’okubala abantu. N’agamba Mukama nti, “Nnyonoonye nnyo olw’ekyo kye nkoze. Kaakano, Ayi Mukama Katonda nziggyako omusango guno omuddu wo gw’azizza, kubanga nkoze eky’obusirusiru.”
11 Nʼụtụtụ echi ya, tupu Devid na-eteta nʼụra, okwu Onyenwe anyị eruola Gad onye amụma, bụ onye ọhụ ụzọ Devid, sị,
Awo mu kiro ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kijjira nnabbi Gaadi, omulabi wa Dawudi nti,
12 “Gaa gwa Devid, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu: Ụzọ ihe atọ ka m na-eche gị nʼihu. Họrọ otu nʼime ha nke m ga-eme ka ọ bịakwasị gị.’”
“Genda otegeeze Dawudi nti, ‘Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: ku bino ebisatu londawo ekimu kye nnaakukola.’”
13 Ya mere, Gad jekwuuru Devid sị ya, “Ọ bụ ka oke ụnwụ ịda nʼala gị afọ atọ? Ka ọ bụ na ị ga-agbalaga site nʼihu ndị iro gị ọnwa atọ, ka ha na-achụ gị ọsọ? Ka ọ bụ ka ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe daa nʼala gị mkpụrụ ụbọchị atọ? Ugbu a, chee echiche, kpebie ọsịsa ị chọrọ ka m weghachiri onye ahụ zitere m.”
Gaadi n’agenda eri Dawudi n’amugamba nti, “Ndireeta enjala mu nsi okumala emyaka musanvu? Oba, ndikuddusa mu maaso g’abalabe bo okumala emyezi esatu, nga bakugoba? Oba, walibaawo ennaku ssatu eza kawumpuli mu nsi yo? Kirowoozeeko, ontegeeze ky’onoosalawo, nzizeeyo obubaka eri oyo antumye.”
14 Devid sịrị Gad, “Anọ m nʼoke nsogbu, ọ ka mma ka anyị daba nʼaka Onyenwe anyị karịa ịdaba nʼaka mmadụ, nʼihi na obi ebere ya bara ụba.”
Awo Dawudi n’agamba Gaadi nti, “Nsobeddwa nnyo; wakiri tugwe mu mukono gwa Mukama Katonda, kubanga okusaasira kwe kungi; okusinga okugwa mu mikono gy’abantu.”
15 Nʼihi ya, Onyenwe anyị zitere ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe nʼala Izrel, site nʼụtụtụ ahụ ruo oge akara aka. Ọ bụ iri puku mmadụ asaa nwụrụ site na Dan ruo Bịasheba.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’aweereza kawumpuli ku Isirayiri okuva ku makya okwo okumala ekiseera Mukama kye yateekateeka, abantu emitwalo musanvu ne bafa okuva mu bitundu ebya Ddaani okutuuka e Beeruseba.
16 Mgbe mmụọ ozi ahụ setịpụrụ aka ya ibibi Jerusalem, o wutere Onyenwe anyị nʼihi oke mbibi ahụ. Ọ sịrị mmụọ ozi ahụ nke na-eweta nhụju anya nye ndị mmadụ, “O zuola. Seghachi aka gị.” Mgbe ahụ, mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe ịzọcha ọka Arauna onye Jebus.
Malayika bwe yagolola omukono gwe eri Yerusaalemi okukizikiriza, Mukama ne yejjusa olw’ekikolwa ekyo, n’agamba malayika eyabonereza abantu nti, “Kinaamala, toyoongera nate.” Olwo malayika wa Mukama Katonda yali atuuse ku gguuliro lya Alawuna Omuyebusi.
17 Mgbe Devid hụrụ mmụọ ozi ahụ na-etida ndị mmadụ, ọ sịrị Onyenwe anyị, “Ọ bụ mụ onwe m mehiere; mụ bụ onye ọzụzụ atụrụ, mere ajọ omume. Ma ndị a bụ naanị ụmụ atụrụ, gịnị kwanụ ka ha mere? Ka aka gị dịgide naanị nʼahụ m, dịgidekwa nʼahụ ndị ụlọ m.”
Awo Dawudi bwe yalaba malayika wa Mukama Katonda eyabonereza abantu, n’ayogera nti, “Nze nnyonoonye era nze nkoze eby’ekyejo, naye endiga zino, tezirina kye zikoze. Nkwegayiridde, omukono gwo ka gubonereze nze n’ennyumba ya kitange.”
18 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Gad bịara nʼụlọ Devid gwa ya sị, “Gaa, wuore Onyenwe anyị ebe ịchụ aja nʼebe ịzọcha ọka Arauna, onye Jebus.”
Ku lunaku olwo Gaadi n’agenda eri Dawudi n’amugamba nti, “Yambuka ozimbire Mukama Katonda ekyoto ku gguuliro lya Alawuna Omuyebusi.”
19 Ya mere, Devid rubere isi gaa mee dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere site nʼọnụ Gad.
Awo Dawudi n’agondera ebiragiro bya Mukama Katonda bye yayisa mu Gaadi, n’ayambuka ku gguuliro.
20 Mgbe Arauna weliri anya hụ eze na ndị ọrụ ya ka ha na-abịa nʼebe ọ nọ, ọ pụtara kpọọ isiala nye eze. Kpudokwa ihu ya nʼala.
Alawuna n’alengera kabaka n’abasajja be nga bajja gy’ali, n’afuluma n’avuunama mu maaso ga kabaka, ne yeeyala wansi.
21 Arauna sịrị, “Gịnị mere onyenwe m, bụ eze ji bịakwute ohu ya?” Devid zaghachiri, “Abịara m ịzụrụ ebe ịzọcha ọka gị, ka m nwee ike wuore Onyenwe anyị ebe ịchụ aja; ka akwụsị ọrịa a na-efe efe dakwasịrị ndị mmadụ.”
Alawuna n’abuuza nti, “Kiki ekireese mukama wange kabaka eri omuddu we?” Dawudi n’addamu nti, “Nzize okugula egguuliro lyo, nzimbire Mukama ekyoto, kawumpuli aleke okubuna mu bantu.”
22 Arauna sịrị Devid, “Ka onyenwe m, bụ eze were ihe ọbụla ọ chọrọ, werekwa chụọ aja. Lee ehi maka iji chụọ aja nsure ọkụ, leekwa ihe igwe ịzọcha ọka niile, na osisi ndị ahụ niile a na-anyanye ehi nʼolu, ka ha bụrụ nkụ.
Alawuna n’agamba Dawudi nti, “Mukama wange kabaka atwale kyonna ky’anaasiima akiweeyo. Ente ziizo ez’ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, n’ebintu ebiwuula n’ebikoligo by’ente byonna mbiwaddeyo okuba enku.
23 Eze, ihe ndị a niile ka mụ bụ Arauna na-enye eze, ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nabatakwa gị.”
Ebyo byonna, Alawuna abiwaddeyo eri kabaka.” Alawuna n’ayongerako nti, “Olabe ekisa mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda wo.”
24 Ma eze zaghachiri Arauna, “Ee, aghaghị m ịkwụzu gị ụgwụ ya, nʼihi na agaghị m achụrụ Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke m aja nsure ọkụ nke na-agaghị efu m ihe ọbụla.” Ya mere, Devid zụrụ ebe ịzọcha ọka ahụ na ehi ahụ niile, kwụọ Arauna iri shekel ọlaọcha ise, nʼihi ha.
Naye kabaka n’agamba Alawuna nti, “Nedda, nzija kulisasulira. Sijja kuwaayo ssaddaaka ez’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama Katonda wange, nga sisasulidde muwendo.” Awo Dawudi n’asasulira egguuliro n’ente, omuwendo ogw’enkana effeeza, gulaamu lukaaga.
25 Devid wuru ebe ịchụrụ Onyenwe anyị aja nʼebe ahụ. Chụọkwa aja nsure ọkụ na aja udo. Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị zara ekpere o kpere nʼihi ala ahụ. Nrịa nrịa ahụ na-efe efe nke dakwasịrị Izrel kwụsịkwara.
Dawudi n’azimbira Mukama ekyoto n’awaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe. Olwo Mukama Katonda n’ayanukula okusaba kwe ku lw’ensi, kawumpuli n’ava ku Isirayiri.
