1 Seenaa 21
1 Seexanni Israaʼelitti kaʼee akka Daawit saba Israaʼel lakkaaʼuuf isa kakaase.
And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
2 Kanaafuu Daawit Yooʼaabii fi ajajjoota loltootaatiin, “Dhaqaatii Bersheebaadhaa hamma Daaniitti Israaʼeloota lakkaaʼaa. Ergasii immoo akka ani akka isaan hammam akka baayʼatan beekuu dandaʼuuf deebiʼaatii natti himaa” jedhe.
And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
3 Yooʼaab garuu deebisee, “Waaqayyo loltoota isaa dachaa dhibba caalaa haa baayʼisu. Yaa gooftaa koo mooticha, isaan hundi garboota gooftaa kootiif bulan mitii? Gooftaan koo maaliif waan kana gochuu barbaade? Inni maaliif Israaʼelitti yakka fida?” jedhe.
And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then does my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?
4 Taʼus dubbiin mootichaa Yooʼaabin yaada geeddarachiise; kanaafuu Yooʼaab achii baʼee guutummaa Israaʼel keessa naannaʼee Yerusaalemitti deebiʼe.
Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Yooʼaabis lakkoobsa namoota loluu dandaʼanii Daawititti hime; namoota Yihuudaa keessa jiraatan kuma dhibba afurii fi torbaatama dabalatee namoota goraadee qabachuu dandaʼan miliyoona tokkoo fi kuma dhibba tokkootu guutummaa Israaʼel keessa ture.
And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.
6 Sababii ajajni mootichaa Yooʼaabin jibbisiiseef inni gosoota Lewwiitii fi Beniyaam itti dabalee hin lakkoofne.
But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
7 Ajajni kun fuula Waaqaa durattis waan hamaa ture; kanaafuu inni Israaʼelin rukute.
And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he stroke Israel.
8 Kana irratti Daawit Waaqaan, “Ani waan kana gochuudhaan akka malee cubbuu hojjedheera. Amma garuu akka ati balleessaa garbicha keetii dhiiftuuf sin kadhadha. Ani hojii gowwummaa guddaa hojjedheeraa” jedhe.
And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I plead to you, do away the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.
9 Waaqayyos Gaad raajii Daawit sanaan akkana jedhe;
And the LORD spoke unto Gad, David's seer, saying,
10 “Dhaqiitii Daawitiin, ‘Waaqayyo akkana siin jedha: Ani filannoo sadii siifin kenna. Akka ani isa sitti fiduuf, isaan keessaa tokko filadhu’ jedhi.”
Go and tell David, saying, Thus says the LORD, I offer you three things: choose you one of them, that I may do it unto you.
11 Kanaafuu Gaad gara Daawit dhaqee akkana jedheen; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Filannoo kee addaan baafadhu:
So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus says the LORD, Choose you
12 Beela waggaa sadii yookaan jiʼa sadii fuula diinota keetii dura ariʼamuu fi goraadee isaaniitiin balleeffamuu yookaan guyyaa goraadee Waaqayyoo sadii jechuunis guyyoota dhaʼichi biyyattiitti buʼee ergamaan Waaqayyoo kutaa Israaʼel hunda balleessu.’ Egaa amma waan ani isa na erge sanaaf deebisu murteeffadhu.”
Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before your foes, while that the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise yourself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
13 Daawit immoo Gaadiin, “Ani akka malee dhiphadheera. Waan araarri isaa akka malee guddaa taʼeef ani harka Waaqayyoo seenuu naaf wayya; garuu akka ani harka namaa seenu na hin godhin” jedhe.
And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.
14 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Israaʼelitti dhaʼicha ergee namoonni Israaʼel kuma torbaatama ni dhuman.
So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
15 Waaqni akka inni Yerusaalem balleessuuf ergamaa isaa tokko erge. Garuu utuma ergamaan Waaqayyoo sun Yerusaalemin balleessuuf qophaaʼaa jiruu Waaqayyo balaa sana argee gaabbee ergamaa isaa kan saba balleessuuf ture sanaan, “Ni gaʼa! Harka kee deebifadhu” jedhe. Yeroo sana ergamaan Waaqayyoo sun oobdii Ornaa namicha gosa Yebuus sanaa bira dhaabachaa ture.
And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now your hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 Daawitis ol ilaalee ergamaa Waaqayyoo kan goraadee luqqifamee Yerusaalemitti diriirfame harka isaatti qabatee samii fi lafa gidduu dhaabachaa jiru tokko ni arge. Daawitii fi maanguddoonni wayyaa gaddaa uffatanii fuula isaa duratti addaan lafatti ni gombifaman.
And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
17 Daawit immoo Waaqaan, “Namni akka loltoonni lakkaaʼaman godhe ana mitii? Namni cubbuu fi balleessaa hojjete anuma. Isaan kunneen garuu hoolotaa dha. Isaan maal godhan? Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa koo harki kee anaa fi maatii koo irra haa buʼu; garuu akka dhaʼichi kun saba kee irra turu hin godhin” jedhe.
And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let your hand, I pray you, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on your people, that they should be plagued.
18 Ergasii ergamaan Waaqayyoo akka Daawit ol baʼee oobdii Ornaa namicha gosa Yebuus sanaa keessatti iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoof ijaaru akka inni Daawititti himu Gaadin ajaje.
Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 Kanaafuu Daawit dubbii Gaad maqaa Waaqayyootiin isatti hime sanaaf ajajamee ol baʼe.
And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the LORD.
20 Ornaan utuu qamadii dhaʼuutti jiruu ol jedhee ergamaa Waaqayyoo sana arge; ilmaan isaa warri isa wajjin turan afranis ni dhokatan.
And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
21 Ergasii Daawit achi gaʼe; Ornaanis yommuu milʼatee isa argetti oobdii sana keessaa baʼee fuula Daawit duratti addaan lafatti gombifamee sagade.
And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
22 Daawitis, “Ani akka isa irratti iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoof tolchee akkasiin dhaʼichi saba irra buʼe kun dhaabatuuf oobdii kee naaf kenni. Gatii isaa guutuutti natti gurguri” jedheen.
Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: you shall grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.
23 Ornaanis Daawitiin, “Fudhadhu! Gooftaan koo mootichi waan isatti tolu kam iyyuu haa godhu. Kunoo ani aarsaa gubamuuf sangoota, qoraaniif ulee ittiin midhaan dhaʼan, kennaa midhaan dhiʼeeffamuufis qamadii nan kenna; ani waan kana hunda nan kenna” jedhe.
And Ornan said unto David, Take it to you, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give you the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the food offering; I give it all.
24 Daawit Mootichi garuu Ornaadhaan, “Kun hin taʼu; ani gatii isaa guutuu siifin kenna. Ani waan kan kee taʼe Waaqayyoof hin fudhadhu yookaan waan gatii na hin baasisin aarsaa gubamuuf hin dhiʼeessu” jedhe.
And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is your for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.
25 Kanaafuu Daawit gatii lafa sanaa Ornaadhaaf warqee saqilii dhibbaa jaʼa kafale.
So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
26 Daawitis achitti iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoof tolchee aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa nagaa dhiʼeesse. Innis Waaqayyoon ni waammate; Waaqayyos samiidhaa ibiddaan iddoo aarsaa gubamuu irratti isaaf deebii kenne.
And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.
27 Sana booddee Waaqayyo ergamaa isaa sanatti dubbate; innis goraadee isaa manʼee isaatti ni deebise.
And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.
28 Daawit yeroo sanatti akka Waaqayyo oobdii Ornaa namicha gosa Yebuus sanaa irratti deebii isaa kenne ni hubate; achittis aarsaa ni dhiʼeesse.
At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29 Dunkaanni Waaqayyoo kan Museen gammoojjiitti hojjetee fi iddoon aarsaa gubamuu Gibeʼoon keessa gaara sagadaa irra ture.
For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon.
30 Daawit garuu sababii goraadee ergamaa Waaqayyoo sodaateef achi dhaqee fuula iddoo aarsaa sanaa duratti Waaqa kadhachuu hin dandeenye.
But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
