1 Chronicles 21
1 Satani sì dúró ti Israẹli, ó sì ti Dafidi láti ka iye Israẹli.
Then the accuser stood up, against Israel, —and moved David, to number Israel.
2 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi sì wí fún Joabu àti àwọn olórí àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Lọ kí o ka iye àwọn ọmọ Israẹli láti Beerṣeba títí dé Dani. Kí o sì padà mú iye wọn fún mi wa, kí èmi kí ó le mọ iye tí wọ́n jẹ́.”
And David said unto Joab and unto the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel, from Beer-sheba even unto Dan, —and bring [the report] unto me, that I may know the number of them.
3 Ṣùgbọ́n Joabu dá a lóhùn pé, “Kí Olúwa kí ó mú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ pọ̀ sí ní ìgbà ọgọ́rùn-ún ju ti tẹ́lẹ̀ lọ, ọba olúwa mi, gbogbo wọn kì í ha ṣe ìránṣẹ́ olúwa ni? Kí ni ó dé tí olúwa mi ṣe fẹ́ ṣè yìí? Kí ni ó de tí yóò fi mú ẹ̀bi wá sórí Israẹli?”
Then said Joab, May Yahweh add unto his people, as many as they are, a hundred times, but are they not, my lord O king, all of them my lord’s, as servants? wherefore should my lord seek this? wherefore should it become guilt to Israel?
4 Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ ọba borí tí Joabu. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Joabu jáde lọ, ó sì la gbogbo Israẹli já, ó sí dé Jerusalẹmu.
But, the word of the king, prevailed against Joab, —and Joab departed, and went to and fro throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Joabu sì fi àpapọ̀ iye àwọn ènìyàn náà fún Dafidi. Ní gbogbo Israẹli, ó sì jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún ẹgbẹ̀rún àti ọ̀kẹ́ márùn-ún ènìyàn tí ń kọ́ idà, Juda sì jẹ́ ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́tàlélógún lé ẹgbàárùn-ún ọkùnrin tí ń kọ́ idà.
And Joab delivered the sum of the number of the people, unto David, —and all Israel was found to be a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men, who drew sword, and Judah, four hundred and seventy thousand men, who drew sword.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n Joabu kó àwọn Lefi àti Benjamini mọ́ iye wọn, nítorí àṣẹ ọba jẹ́ ìríra fún un.
But, Levi and Benjamin, counted he not among them, —for detestable was the word of the king unto Joab.
7 Àṣẹ yìí pẹ̀lú sì jẹ́ búburú lójú Ọlọ́run, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì díyàjẹ Israẹli.
And it was displeasing in the eyes of God, concerning this thing, —therefore smote he Israel.
8 Nígbà náà Dafidi sọ fún Ọlọ́run pé, èmi ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ gidigidi nípa ṣíṣe èyí. Nísinsin yìí, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, mú ìjẹ̀bi àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ kúrò. Èmi ti hùwà aṣiwèrè gidigidi.
And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing, —but, now, I beseech thee, take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have shown myself very foolish.
9 Olúwa sì fi fún Gadi, aríran Dafidi pé.
Then spake Yahweh unto Gad, the seer of David saying:
10 “Lọ kí o sì wí fún Dafidi pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, èmi fi nǹkan mẹ́ta lọ̀ ọ́; yan ọ̀kan nínú wọn, kí èmi ó sì ṣe é sí ọ.’”
Go—and thou shalt speak unto David, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, Three things, do I offer thee, —choose thee one from among them, that I may do it unto thee.
11 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Gadi tọ Dafidi wá, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: ‘Yan fún ara rẹ.
So Gad came unto David, —and said to him, Thus, saith Yahweh,
12 Ọdún mẹ́ta ìyàn, tàbí ìparun ní oṣù mẹ́ta níwájú àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, pẹ̀lú idà wọn láti lé ọ bá, tàbí ọjọ́ mẹ́ta idà Olúwa ọjọ́ àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn ní ilẹ̀ náà, pẹ̀lú àwọn angẹli Olúwa láti pa gbogbo agbègbè Israẹli run.’ Nísinsin yìí ǹjẹ́, rò ó wò, èsì wo ni èmi yóò mú padà tọ ẹni tí ó rán mi.”
Choose thee: —Whether, for three years, [there be] famine, Or, for three months, that thou flee before thine adversaries, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee, Or, for three days, the sword of Yahweh, and pestilence be in the land, with, the messenger of Yahweh, laying waste throughout all the boundary of Israel, —Now, therefore, see, what, answer, I shall return unto him that sent me.
13 Dafidi sì wí fún Gadi pé, “Ìyọnu ńlá bá mi. Jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó ṣubú sí ọwọ́ Olúwa nísinsin yìí, nítorí tí àánú rẹ̀ pọ̀ gidigidi, ṣùgbọ́n má ṣe jẹ́ kí èmi kí o ṣubú sí ọwọ́ àwọn ènìyàn.”
And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait, —Oh let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Yahweh, for abounding are his compassions, exceedingly, but, into the hand of man, let me not fall.
14 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa rán àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn lórí Israẹli, àwọn tí ó ṣubú ní Israẹli jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún ní ọ̀nà àádọ́rin ènìyàn.
So Yahweh laid pestilence, upon Israel, —and there fell, of Israel, seventy thousand men.
15 Ọlọ́run sì rán angẹli kan sí Jerusalẹmu láti pa wọ́n run. Ṣùgbọ́n bí angẹli ti ń pa wọ́n run, Olúwa sì wò. Ó sì káàánú nítorí ibi náà, ó sì wí fún angẹli tí ó pa àwọn ènìyàn náà run pé, “Ó ti tó! Dá ọwọ́ rẹ dúró.” Angẹli Olúwa náà sì dúró níbi ilẹ̀ ìpakà Arauna ará Jebusi.
And God sent a messenger to Jerusalem, to lay it waste, but, as he was laying it waste, Yahweh looked, and relented concerning the calamity, and said unto the messenger who was laying waste, Enough! now, stay thy hand. And, the messenger of Yahweh, was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 Dafidi sì wòkè ó sì rí angẹli Olúwa dúró láàrín ọ̀run àti ayé pẹ̀lú idà fífàyọ ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ tí ó sì nà án sórí Jerusalẹmu. Nígbà náà Dafidi àti àwọn àgbàgbà, sì wọ aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀, wọ́n sì da ojú wọn bolẹ̀.
And, when David lifted up his eyes, and saw the messenger of Yahweh, standing, between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn, in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem, then fell David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, upon their faces.
17 Dafidi sì wí fún Ọlọ́run pé, “Èmi ha kọ́ ni mo pàṣẹ àti ka àwọn jagunjagun ènìyàn? Èmi ni ẹni náà tí ó dẹ́ṣẹ̀ tí ó sì ṣe ohun búburú pàápàá, ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe ti àgùntàn wọ̀nyí, kí ni wọ́n ṣe? Èmí bẹ̀ ọ́ Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, jẹ́ kí ọwọ́ rẹ kí ó wà lára mi àti àwọn ìdílé baba mi, ṣùgbọ́n má ṣe jẹ́ kí àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn yìí kí ó dúró lórí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ.”
And David said unto God, Was it not, I, who gave word to number the people? Yea, I, it was who sinned and did the great wrong, what then had, these sheep, done? O Yahweh, my God, let thy hand, I beseech thee, be against me, and against the house of my father, but not against, thy people, that they should be plagued!
18 Nígbà náà angẹli Olúwa náà pàṣẹ fún Gadi láti sọ fún Dafidi pé, kí Dafidi kí ó gòkè lọ, kí ó sì tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan fún Olúwa lórí ilẹ̀ ìpakà Arauna ará Jebusi.
And, the messenger of Yahweh, commanded Gad, to say unto David, —that David should go up, to rear an altar unto Yahweh, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi sì gòkè lọ pẹ̀lú ìgbọ́ràn sí ọ̀rọ̀ tí Gadi ti sọ ní orúkọ Olúwa.
So David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spake in the name of Yahweh.
20 Nígbà tí Arauna sì ń pakà lọ́wọ́, ó sì yípadà ó sì rí angẹli; àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ mẹ́rẹ̀ẹ̀rin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ pa ará wọn mọ́.
And Ornan turned, and saw the messenger, but, his four sons with him, were hiding themselves, —now, Ornan, had been threshing wheat.
21 Bí Dafidi sì ti dé ọ̀dọ̀ Arauna, Arauna sì wò, ó sì rí Dafidi, ó sì ti ibi ilẹ̀ ìpakà rẹ̀ jáde, ó sì wólẹ̀, ó dojúbolẹ̀ níwájú Dafidi.
Then came David unto Ornan, —and Ornan looked, and saw David, and went forth out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself unto David, with his face to the ground.
22 Dafidi sì wí fún Arauna pé, “Jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó ni ibi ìpakà rẹ kí èmi kí ó sì lè tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan níbẹ̀ fún Olúwa, ìwọ ó sì fi fún mi ni iye owó rẹ̀ pípé, kí a lè dá àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn dúró lọ́dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn.”
And David said unto Ornan, Grant me the place of the threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar, unto Yahweh, —for silver in full, shalt thou grant it me, that the plague may be stayed from off the people.
23 Arauna sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Mú un fún ara rẹ, sì jẹ́ kí olúwa mi ọba kí ó ṣe ohun tí ó dára lójú rẹ̀. Wò ó, èmí yóò fún ọ ní àwọn màlúù fún ẹbọ sísun, àti ohun èlò ìpakà fún igi, àti ọkà fún ọrẹ oúnjẹ. Èmi yóò fun ọ ní gbogbo èyí.”
And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do what is good in his own eyes, —see! I have given the oxen for ascending-sacrifices, and, the threshing implements for wood, and the wheat for a meal-offering, —the whole, have I given.
24 Ṣùgbọ́n ọba Dafidi dá Arauna lóhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò rà á ní iye owó rẹ̀ ní pípé, nítorí èmi kì yóò èyí tí ó jẹ́ tìrẹ fún Olúwa, tàbí láti rú ẹbọ sísun tí kò ná mi ní ohun kan.”
Then said King David to Ornan, Nay! but I will, surely buy, it for silver in full, —for I will not take that which is thine for Yahweh, nor offer an ascending-sacrifice that hath cost me nothing.
25 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi san ẹgbẹ̀ta ṣékélì wúrà fún Arauna nípa ìwọ̀n fún ibẹ̀ náà.
So David gave to Ornan, for the place, —shekels of gold, by weight, six hundred.
26 Dafidi sì tẹ́ pẹpẹ fún Olúwa níbẹ̀ ó sì rú ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ ọpẹ́. Ó sì ké pe Olúwa, Olúwa sì fi iná dá a lóhùn láti òkè ọ̀run wá lórí pẹpẹ fún ẹbọ ọrẹ sísun.
And David built there an altar unto Yahweh, and caused to go up ascending-sacrifices, and peace-offerings, —and called unto Yahweh, and he responded to him, by fire, out of the heavens, upon the altar of ascending-sacrifice.
27 Nígbà náà Olúwa sọ̀rọ̀ sí angẹli, ó sì gbé idà padà bọ̀ sínú àkọ̀ rẹ̀.
And Yahweh gave word to tile messenger, and he put back his sword into its sheath.
28 Ní àkókò náà nígbà tí Dafidi sì rí wí pé Olúwa ti dá a lóhùn lórí ilẹ̀ ìpakà ti Arauna ará Jebusi, ó sì rú ẹbọ sísun níbẹ̀.
At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29 Àgọ́ Olúwa tí Mose ti ṣe ní aginjù, àti pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun wà lórí ibi gíga ní Gibeoni ní àkókò náà.
But, the habitation of Yahweh, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of ascending-sacrifice, were, at that time, in the high place at Gibeon;
30 Ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi kò lè lọ síwájú rẹ̀ láti béèrè lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run, nítorí tí ó bẹ̀rù nípa idà ọwọ́ angẹli Olúwa.
and David could not go before it, to seek God, —for he had been terrified, because of the sword of the messenger of Yahweh.
