1 Nyakati 21
1 Adui akainuka dhidi ya Israeli na kumchochea Daudi kuhesabu Israeli.
Sotheli Sathan roos ayens Israel, and stiride Dauid for to noumbre Israel.
2 Daudi akamwabia Yoabu na kwa wakuu wa Jeshi, “Nenda, wahesabu watu wa Israeli kutoka Beerisheba mpaka Dani na uniletee taarifa, ilinijue idadi yao.”
And Dauid seide to Joab, and to the princes of the puple, Go ye, and noumbre Israel fro Bersabe til to Dan, and brynge ye the noumbre to me, that Y wite.
3 Yoabu akasema, “Yahweh na afanya jeshi lake mara mia zaidi ya lilivyo. Lakini bwana wangu mfalme, kwani wote hawamtumikii bwana wangu? kwa nini bwana wangu anataka hili? Kwa nini ulete hatia kwa Israeli?”
And Joab answeride, The Lord encresse his puple an hundrid fold more than thei ben; my lord the kyng, whether alle ben not thi seruauntis? Whi sekith my lord this thing, that schal be arettid in to synne to Israel?
4 Lakini neno la mfalme halikubadilika kwa Yoabu. Hivyo Yoabu akaondoka na kwenda Israeli yote. Kisha akarudi Yerusalemu.
But the word of the kyng hadde more the maistrie; and Joab yede out, and cumpasside al Israel, and turnede ayen in to Jerusalem.
5 Yoabu akatoa taarifa ya idadi ya jumla ya wanaume wa mapambano kwa Daudi. Kulikuwa ndani ya Israeli wanaume 1, 100, 000 walio beba upanga. Yuda peke yake kulikuwa na wanajeshi 470, 000.
And he yaf to Dauid the noumbre of hem, which he hadde cumpassid; and al the noumbre of Israel was foundun a thousynde thousande, and an hundrid thousynde of men, drawynge out swerd; forsothe of Juda weren thre hundrid thousynde, and seuenti thousynde of werriouris.
6 Lakini Levi na Benjamini hawaku hesabiwa miongoni mwao, kwa kuwa amri ya mfalme ilimuudhi Yoabu.
For Joab noumbride not Leuy and Beniamyn, for ayens his wille he dide the comaundement of the kyng.
7 Mungu alikwazika na hili tendo, akashambulia Israeli.
Forsothe that that was comaundid displeside the Lord, and he smoot Israel.
8 Daudi akamwambia Mungu, “Nimetenda dhambi kubwa kwa kufanya hili. Sasa chukua hatia ya mtumishi wako, nimetenda kwa ujinga sana.”
And Dauid seide to God, Y synnede greetli that Y wolde do this; Y biseche, do thou awey the wickidnesse of thi seruaunt, for Y dide folili.
9 Yahweh akamwambia Gadi, nabii wa Daudi,
And the Lord spak to Gad, the profete of Dauid,
10 “Nenda useme kwa Daudi, “Hili ndilo Yahweh anasema: Ninakupa maamuzi matatu. Chagua moja wapo.”
and seide, Go thou, and speke to Dauid, and seie to him, The Lord seith these thingis, Y yeue to thee the chesyng of thre thingis; chese thou oon which thou wolt, that Y do to thee.
11 Hivyo Gadi akaenda kwa Daudi na kusema, “Yahweh anasema hivi, 'Chagua moja ya haya:
And whanne Gad was comen to Dauid, he seide to Dauid, The Lord seith these thingis, Chese thou that that thou wolt, ether pestilence thre yeer,
12 kati ya miaka mitatu ya ukame, miezi mitatu unakimbizwa na adui zako na kupatwa na upanga wao, au siku tatu za upanga wa Yahweh, yani, pigo katika nchi, malaika wa Yahweh akiharibu nchi yote ya Israeli.' Hivyo sasa, amua jibu gani ni mpelekee yeye aliye nituma.”
ether that thre monethis thou fle thin enemyes and mow not ascape her swerd, ether that the swerd of the Lord and deeth regne thre daies in the lond, and that the aungel of the Lord slee in alle the coostis of Israel. Now therfor se thou, what Y schal answere to hym that sente me.
13 Kisha Daudi akamwambia Gadi, “Nipo katika shida kubwa sana. Acha nianguke katika mikono ya Yahweh kuliko kuangukia mikono ya mwanadamu, sababu matendo yake ya rehema ni makubwa mno.”
And Dauid seide to Gad, Angwischis oppresse me on ech part, but it is betere to me, that Y falle in to the hondis of the Lord, for his merciful doynges ben manye, than in to the hondis of men.
14 Hivyo Yahweh akatuma pigo Israeli, na watu elfu sabini wakafa.
Therfor the Lord sente pestilence in to Israel, and seuenti thousynde of men felden doun of Israel.
15 Mungu akatuma malaika Yerusalemu kuiharibu. Wakati alipo taka kuiharibu, Yahweh akatazama na kubadili nia yake kuhusu shambulio. Akasema kwa malaika wa uharibifu, “Imetosha! Rudisha mkono wako.” Wakati huo malaika wa Yahweh alikua amesimama eneo la kupeta la Orinani Myebusi.
Also he sente an aungel in to Jerusalem, that he schulde smyte it; and whanne it was smytun, the Lord siy, and hadde merci on the greetnesse of yuel; and comaundide to the aungel that smoot, It suffisith, now thin hond ceesse. Forsothe the aungel of the Lord stood bisidis the cornfloor of Ornam Jebusey.
16 Daudi akatazama juu na kuona malaika wa Yahweh amesimama kati ya nchi na mbingu, akiwa na upanga mkonono mwake akiuelekeza Yerusalemu. Kisha Daudi na wazee, wakiwa wamevaa magunia, wakalala chini uso ukiwa kwenye ardhi.
And Dauid reiside hise iyen, and siy the aungel of the Lord stondynge bitwixe heuene and erthe, and a drawun swerd in his hond, and turnede ayens Jerusalem. And bothe he and the grettere men in birthe weren clothid with heiris, and felden doun lowe on the erthe.
17 Daudi akamwambia Mungu, “Sio mimi niliye amuru jeshi kuhesabiwa? Nimefanya hichi kitu kiovu. Lakini hawa kondoo, wamefanya nini? Yahweh Mungu wangu! Acha mkono wako unipige mimi na familia yangu, lakini usiache pigo iliendelee kubaki kwa watu wako.”
And Dauid seide to the Lord, Whether Y am not that comaundide that the puple schulde be noumbrid? Y it am that synnede, Y it am that dide yuel; what disseruid this floc? My Lord God, Y biseche, thin hond be turned `in to me, and `in to the hows of my fadir; but thi puple be not smytun.
18 Hivyo malaika wa Yahweh akamuamuru Gadi kusema kwa Daudi, kwamba Daudi aende juu na kujenga madhabahu ya Yahweh katika eneo la kupeta la Oranani Myebusi.
Forsothe an aungel of the Lord comaundide Gad, that he schulde seie to Dauid, `that he schulde stie, and bilde an auter to the Lord God in the cornfloor of Ornam Jebusei.
19 Daudi akaenda kama Gadi alivyo muelekeza cha kufanya kwa jina la Yahweh.
Therfor Dauid stiede bi the word of Gad, which he spak to hym bi the word of the Lord.
20 Wakati Orinani akipepeta ngano, aligeuka na kumuona malaika. Yeye na wana wake wanne wakajificha.
Forsothe whanne Ornam hadde `biholde, and hadde seyn the aungel, and hise foure sones `with hym `hadde seyn, thei hidden hem, for in that tyme he threischide whete in the cornfloor.
21 Wakati Daudi alipo kuja kwa Orinani, Orinani akatazama na kumuona Daudi. Aliacha eneo la kupeta na akamuinamia Daudi uso wake ukiwa kwenye ardhi.
Therfor whanne Dauid cam to Ornam, Ornam bihelde Dauid, and yede forth fro the cornfloor ayens hym, and worschipide hym, lowli on the ground.
22 Kisha Daudi akasema kwa Orinani, “Niuzie hili eneo la kupeta, iliniweze kumjenga Yahweh madhabahu. Nitalipa gharama yote, ili pigo liondolewe kwa watu.”
And Dauid seide to hym, Yyue the place of thi cornfloor to me, that Y bilde ther ynne an auter to the Lord; so that thou take as myche siluer as it is worth, and that the veniaunce ceesse fro the puple.
23 Orinani wakwambia Daudi, “Chukuwa kama lako, bwana wangu mfalme. Fanya nalo linalo kupendeza. Tazama, nitakupa ng'ombe kwa sadaka ya kuteketeza, vifaa vya kupeta kwa ajili ya mbao, na ngano kwa sadaka ya mbegu; nitakupa yote wewe.”
Forsothe Ornam seide to Dauid, Take thou, and my lord the kyng do what euer thing plesith hym; but also Y yyue oxis in to brent sacrifice, and instrumentis of tree, wherbi cornes ben throischun, in to trees, and wheete in to sacrifice; Y yyue alle thingis wilfully.
24 Mfalme Daudi akamwambia Orinani, “Hapana, nina sisitiza kununua kwa bei yote. Sitachukua kilicho chako na kutoa kama sadaka ya kuteketeza kwa Yahweh kama haitanighramu chochote.”
And `Dauid the kyng seide to hym, It schal not be don so, but Y schal yyue siluer as myche as it is worth; for Y owe not take awei fro thee, and offre so to the Lord brent sacrifices freli youun.
25 Hivyo Daudi akalipa shekeli mia sita ya dhahabu kwa hilo eneo.
Therfor Dauid yaf to Ornam for the place sixe hundrid siclis of gold of most iust weiyte.
26 Daudi akajenga madhabahu ya Yahweh pale na kutoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za ushirika. Akamuita Yahweh, aliye mjibu kwa moto kutoka mbinguni kwenye madhabahu ya sadaka za kuteketezwa.
And he bildide there an auter to the Lord, and he offride brent sacrifice and pesible sacrifices, and he inwardli clepide God; and God herde hym in fier fro heuene on the auter of brent sacrifice.
27 Kisha Yahweh akampa agizo malaika, na malaika akarudisha upanga kwenye mfuko wake.
And the Lord comaundide to the aungel, and he turnede his swerd in to the schethe.
28 Daudi alipo ona kuwa Yahweh amemjibu kwenye eneo la kupeta la Orinani Myebusi, alitoa dhabihu pale pale kwa wakati huo.
Therfor anoon Dauid siy, that the Lord hadde herd hym in the corn floor of Ornam Jebusey, and he offride there slayn sacrifices.
29 Sasa kwa wakati huo, hema la kuabudia la Yahweh, ambalo Musa alilitengeneza nyikani, na madhabahu ya sadaka za kuteketezwa, zilikuwa sehemu ya juu huko Gibeoni.
Forsothe the tabernacle of the Lord, that Moyses hadde maad in the deseert, and the auter of brent sacrifices, was in that tempest in the hiy place of Gabaon;
30 Walakini, Daudi hakuweza kwenda huko kumuliza Mungu muelekeo, kwa kuwa alikuwa anaogopa upanga wa malaika wa Yahweh.
and Dauid myyte not go to the auter, to biseche God there, for he was aferd bi ful greet drede, seynge the swerd of the `aungel of the Lord.
