2 Samweli 24
1 Kisha hasira ya Yahwe ikawaka dhidi ya Israeli, naye akamchochea Daudi kinyume chao kusema, “Nenda, ukawahesabu Israeli na Yuda.”
And it repeated [the] anger of Yahweh to burn on Israel and he incited David against them saying go count Israel and Judah.
2 Mfalme akamwambia Yoabu, jemedari wa jeshi, aliyekuwa pamoja naye, “Nenda upite katika kabila zote za Israeli, toka Dani mpaka Beersheba, uwahesabu watu wote, ili niweze kujua idadi kamili ya watu wanaofaa kwa vita.”
And he said the king to Joab - [the] commander of the army who [was] with him go about please in all [the] tribes of Israel from Dan and to Beer Sheba and enroll the people and I will know [the] number of the people.
3 Yoabu akamwambia mfalme, “Yahwe Mungu wako na aizidishe hesabu ya watu mara mia, na macho ya bwana wangu mfalme yaone ikifanyika. Lakini kwa nini bwana wangu mfalme analitaka jambo hili?
And he said Joab to the king and may he add Yahweh God your to the people like them - and like them a hundred times and [the] eyes of lord my the king [are] seeing [it] and lord my the king why? does he delight in the thing this.
4 Walakini neno la mfalme lilikuwa la mwisho dhidi ya Yoabu na dhidhi ya majemedari wa jeshi. Hivyo Yoabu na majemedari wakatoka mbele ya mfalme kuwahesabu watu wa Israeli.
And it prevailed [the] word of the king to Joab and over [the] commanders of the army and he went out Joab and commanders of the army before the king to enroll the people Israel.
5 Wakavuka Yordani na kupiga kambi karibu na Aroeri, kusini mwa mji bondeni. Kisha wakasafiri kupitia Gadi mpaka Yazeri.
And they passed over the Jordan and they encamped at Aroer [the] south of the city which [is] in [the] middle of the wadi Gad and to Jazer.
6 Wakaja Gileadi na nchi ya Tahtimu Hodshi, kisha Dani, Jaani na karibu kuelekea Sidoni.
And they came Gilead towards and to [the] land of Tahtim Hodshi and they came Dan towards Jaan and around to Sidon.
7 Wakafika ngome ya Tiro na miji yote ya Wahivi na Wakanaani. Kisha wakaenda Negebu katika Yuda huko Beersheba.
And they came [the] fortress of Tyre and all [the] cities of the Hivite[s] and the Canaanite[s] and they went out to [the] Negev of Judah Beer Sheba.
8 Walipokuwa wamepita katika nchi yote, wakarejea Yerusalemu mwishoni mwa miezi tisa na siku ishirini.
And they went about in all the land and they came from [the] end of nine months and twenty day[s] Jerusalem.
9 Ndipo Yoabu alipotoa taarifa ya hesabu kamili kwa mfalme kuhusu watu wawezao kupigana vita. Katika Israeli kulikuwa na watu 800, 000 jasiri wawezao kutoa upanga, na wale wa Yuda walikuwa watu 500, 000.
And he gave Joab [the] number of [the] muster of the people to the king and it was Israel eight hundred thousand man of strength [who] drew a sword and [the] man of Judah [was] five hundred thousand man.
10 Ndipo moyo wa Daudi ukamchoma alipokuwa amewahesabu watu. Hivyo akamwambia Yahwe, “Kwa kufanya hivi nimetenda dhambi sana. Sasa, Yahwe, uiondoe hatia ya mtumishi wako, kwani nimetenda kwa upumbavu.”
And it struck [the] heart of David him after thus he had counted the people. And he said David to Yahweh I have sinned exceedingly [that] which I have done and now O Yahweh take away please [the] iniquity of servant your for I have acted foolishly exceedingly.
11 Daudi alipoinuka asubuhi, neno la Yahwe likamjia nabii Gadi, mwonaji wa Daudi, kusema,
And he arose David in the morning. And [the] word of Yahweh it came to Gad the prophet [the] seer of David saying.
12 Nenda umwambie Daudi; 'Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Yahwe: “Ninakupa mambo matatu. Uchague mojawapo.”
Go and you will speak to David thus he says Yahweh three [things] I [am] laying on you choose for yourself one from them so I may do [it] to you.
13 Hivyo Gadi akaenda kwa Daudi na kumwambia, “Je miaka mitatu ya njaa ije katika nchi yako? au miezi mitatu ukimbie kutoka kwa adui zako huku wakikufuatia? au kuwe na tauni ya siku tatu katika nchi yako? Amua sasa jibu gani nimrudishie aliyenituma.”
And he went Gad to David and he told to him and he said to him ¿ will it come to you seven years - famine - in land your or? three months fleeing you before opponents your and he [will be] pursuing you and or? to be three days pestilence in land your now know and see what? will I bring back [the] [one who] sent me word.
14 Ndipo Daudi alipomwambia Gadi, “Nipo katika shida kubwa. Haya na tuanguke katika mikono ya Yahwe kuliko kuanguka katika mikono ya mwanadamu, kwani matendo yake ya rehema ni makuu sana.”
And he said David to Gad it is distress to me exceedingly let us fall please in [the] hand of Yahweh for [are] great (compassion his *Q(K)*) and in [the] hand of humankind may not I fall.
15 Hivyo akatuma tauni juu ya Israeli kuanzia asubuhi kwa muda ulioamriwa, na watu sabini na tano elfu kutoka Dani mpaka Beersheba wakafa.
And he gave Yahweh pestilence in Israel from the morning and until a time of an appointed time and he died of the people from Dan and to Beer Sheba seventy thousand man.
16 Malaika aliponyosha mkono wake kuelekea Yerusalemu ili kuuharibu, Yahwe akabadili nia yake kuhusu madhara, na akamwambia malaika aliyekuwa tiyari kuwaangamiza watu, “Yatosha! Rudisha mkono wako sasa.” Wakati huo malaika wa Yahwe alikuwa amesimama katika kiwanja cha kupuria cha Arauna Myebusi.
And he stretched out hand his the angel - Jerusalem to destroy it and he relented Yahweh concerning the harm and he said to the angel the destroyer among the people enough now let drop hand your and [the] angel of Yahweh he was near [the] threshing floor of (Araunah *Q(K)*) the Jebusite.
17 Daudi alipomwona malaika aliyekuwa amewapiga watu, akamwambia Yahwe kusema, “Nimetenda dhambi, na nimetenda kwa upumbavu. Lakini kondoo hawa, wamefanya nini? Tafadhari, mkono wako na uniadhibu mimi na familia ya baba yangu!”
And he said David to Yahweh when saw he - the angel - who was striking down the people and he said here! I (the shepherd *X*) I have sinned and I I have done wrong and these the sheep what? have they done let it be please hand your on me and on [the] house of father my.
18 Kisha Gadi akaja siku hiyo kwa Daudi na kumwambia, “Kwea na ujenge madhabahu kwa ajili ya Yahwe katika kiwanja cha kupuria cha Arauna Myebusi.”
And he came Gad to David on the day that and he said to him go up raise up to Yahweh an altar on [the] threshing floor of (Araunah *Q(K)*) the Jebusite.
19 Hivyo Daudi akakwea kama Gadi alivyomwelekeza kufanya, kama Yahwe alivyokuwa ameagiza.
And he went up David according to [the] word of Gad just as he had commanded Yahweh.
20 Arauna akatazama na kumwona mfalme na watumishi wake wakikaribia. Ndipo Arauna akaondoka na kumsujudia mfalme uso wake mpaka juu ya ardhi.
And he looked down Araunah and he saw the king and servants his passing on to him and he went out Araunah and he bowed down to the king face his [the] ground towards.
21 Kisha Arauna akasema, “Kwa nini bwana wangu mfalme amekuja kwangu, mtumishi wake? Daudi akajibu, “Kununua uwanja wako wa kupuria, ili nimjengee Yahwe madhabahu, ili kwamba tauni iondolewe kwa watu.”
And he said Araunah why? has he come lord my the king to servant his and he said David to buy from with you the threshing floor to build an altar to Yahweh so it may be restrained the plague from on the people.
22 Arauna akamwambia Daudi, “Chukua liwe lako, bwana wangu mfalme. Ulifanyie lolote lolote lililojema machoni pako. Tazama, ng'ombe kwa ajili ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa na miganda ya kupuria na nira kwa kuni.
And he said Araunah to David let him take and let him offer up lord my the king the good (in eyes his *Q(K)*) see the ox[en] for the burnt offering and the threshing-sledges and [the] equipment of the ox[en] for the wood.
23 Haya yote bwana wangu mfalme, mimi Arauna nakupa.” Kisha akamwambia mfalme, “Yahwe Mungu wako na awe nawe.”
Everything he gives Araunah O king to the king. And he said Araunah to the king Yahweh God your may he accept favorably you.
24 Mfalme akamwambia Arauna, “Hapana, nahimiza kukinunua kwa thamani yake. Sitatoa kama sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa Yahwe chochote nisichokigharimia.” Hivyo Daudi akakinunua kiwanja cha kupuria na ng'ombe kwa shekeli hamsini za fedha.
And he said the king to Araunah In-deed certainly I will buy [it] from you for a price and not I will offer up to Yahweh God my burnt offerings without paying and he bought David the threshing floor and the ox[en] for silver shekels fifty.
25 Daudi akajenga madhabahu kwa Yahwe pale na kutoa juu yake sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani. Hivyo wakamsihi Yahwe kwa niaba ya nchi, hivyo akaizuia tauni katika katika Israeli yote.
And he built there David an altar to Yahweh and he offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings and he was entreated Yahweh for the land and it was restrained the plague from on Israel.
