1Zvino Satani akamukira vaIsiraeri, akakurudzira Dhavhidhi kuti averenge vaIsiraeri.
1And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
2Dhavhidhi akati kuna Joabhu nokumachinda avanhu, Endai mundoverenga vaIsiraeri kubva paBheerishebha kusvikira paDhani; mudzoke neshoko, ndizive kuwanda kwavo.
2And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them.
3Joabhu akati, Jehovha ngaawedzere vanhu vake runezana pakuwanda kwavo zvino; asi ishe wangu mambo, vose havazi varanda vashe wangu here? Ishe wangu anotsvakireiko chinhu ichi? Achapinzireiko vaIsiraeri pamhosva?
3And Joab said, Jehovah make his people a hundred times as many as they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt unto Israel?
4Kunyange zvakadaro shoko ramambo rakakurira Joabhu. Zvino Joabhu akaenda, akapota pakati pavaIsiraeri vose, akasvika Jerusaremu.
4Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
5Joabhu akarondedzera kuwanda kwavanhu kuna Dhavhidhi. Valsiraeri vose vakasvika zviuru zvinezviuru nezviuru zvinezana zvavanhu vaigona kurwa nomunondo; uye vaJudha vakasvika zviuru zvamazana mana namakumi manomwe vaigona kurwa nomunondo.
5And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.
6Asi haana kuverenga vaRevhi navaBhenjamini pakati pavo; nekuti shoko ramambo rakanga rakaipa kwazvo kuna Joabhu.
6But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
7Zvino Mwari akanga asingafari nechinhu ichi; saka akarova Isiraeri.
7And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.
8Dhavhidhi akati kuna Mwari, Ndatadza kwazvo zvandaita chinhu ichi; asi zvino bvisai henyu kuipa komuranda wenyu; nekuti ndaita sebenzi kwazvo.
8And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing: but now, put away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
9Jehovha akataura naGadhi, muoni waDhavhidhi, akati,
9And Jehovah spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,
10Enda unotaura naDhavhidhi, uti, zvanzi naJehovha, Ndinokuisira zvinhu zvitatu, chizvitsaurira chimwe chazvo, ndikuitire icho.
10Go and speak unto David, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
11Zvino Gadhi akaenda kuna Dhavhidhi, akati kwaari, Zvanzi naJehovha, Chitsaura chaunoda;
11So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Take which thou wilt:
12makore matatu enzara, kana kuparadzwa navavengi vako mwedzi mitatu, uchidzingwa nomunondo wavavengi vako, kana munondo waJehovha mazuva matatu, ndiro denda panyika, mutumwa waJehovha achiparadza panyika yose yaIsiraeri. Zvino chifunga hako, urangarire mhinduro yandingadzosera kuna iye akandituma.
12either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before thy foes, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of Jehovah, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of Jehovah destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
13Ipapo Dhavhidhi akati kuna Gadhi, Ndiri pakumanikidzwa kukuru; ndiwire hangu zvino muruoko rwaJehovha, nekuti nyasha dzake ihuru, asi ndirege hangu kuwira muruoko rwomunhu.
13And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall, I pray, into the hand of Jehovah; for very great are his mercies: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
14Ipapo Jehovha akatuma denda pakati paIsiraeri; varume vane zviuru zvina makumi manomwe vakafa pakati paIsiraeri.
14So Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
15Mwari akatuma mutumwa Jerusaremu kuzoriparadza; zvino wakati oda kuparadza, Jehovha akatarira, akazvidemba pamusoro pechinhu icho chakaipa, akati kumutumwa akanga achiparadza, Zvino, chidzosa ruoko rwako. Zvino mutumwa waJehovha akanga amire paburiro raOrinani muJebhusi.
15And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was about to destroy, Jehovah beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the destroying angel, It is enough; now stay thy hand. And the angel of Jehovah was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16Dhavhidhi akatarira, akaona mutumwa waJehovha amire pakati penyika nokudenga, akabata munondo wakavhomorwa muruoko rwake, wakatambanudzwa pamusoro peJerusaremu. Ipapo Dhavhidhi navakuru vakawira pasi nezviso zvavo, vakafuka saga.
16And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Jehovah standing between earth and heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
17Zvino Dhavhidhi akati kuna Mwari, Ko handizi ini here ndakaraira kuti vanhu vaverengwe? Ndini ndakatadza hangu ndikaita zvakaipa zvikuru; asi makwai awa akaiteiko? Jehovha Mwari wangu, ruoko rwenyu ngarundirove harwo ini neimba yababa vangu; asi ngarurege kurova vanhu venyu, nokuvatambudza.
17And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, O Jehovah my God, be against me, and against my father's house; but not against thy people, that they should be plagued.
18Ipapo mutumwa waJehovha akaraira Gadhi kuti audze Dhavhidhi kuti Dhavhidhi akwire avakire Jehovha aritari paburiro raOrinani muJebhusi.
18Then the angel of Jehovah commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and rear an altar unto Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19Dhavhidhi akakwira nokureva kwaGadhi kwaakataura nezita raJehovha.
19And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of Jehovah.
20Orinani akacheuka, akaona mutumwa; vanakomana vake vana, vaiva naye, vakavanda. Zvino Orinani wakange achipura gorosi.
20And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons that were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
21Dhavhidhi akati achisvika kuna Orinani, Orinani akatarira akaona Dhavhidhi, akabuda paburiro, akakotamira pasi nechiso chake pamberi paDhavhidhi.
21And 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.
22Ipapo Dhavhidhi akati kuna Orinani, Ndipe nzvimbo yeburiro iri, kuti ndivakirepo aritari kuna Jehovha; unofanira kundipa iro nditenge nomutengo wakafanira, kuti denda ripere pakati pavanhu.
22Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar unto Jehovah: for the full price shalt thou give it me, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
23Ipapo Orinani akati kuna Dhavhidhi, Ritorei henyu, ishe wangu, mambo aite sezvaanoda; tarirai, ndinokupai nzombe zvive zvipiriso zvinopiswa, nenhumbi dzokupura nadzo dzive huni, nezviyo chive chipiriso choupfu; ndinozvipa zvose.
23And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give [thee] the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal-offering; I give it all.
24Mambo Dhavhidhi akati kuna Orinani, Kwete, asi zvirokwazvo ndicharitenga nomutengo wakafanira; nekuti handingatori chinhu chako ndikapa Jehovha, kana kuuya nechipiriso chinopiswa chisina mutengo.
24And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for Jehovah, nor offer a burnt-offering without cost.
25Naizvozvo Dhavhidhi akapa Orinani mashekeri ana mazana matanhatu endarama pakurema kwawo, uri mutengo wenzvimbo iyo.
25So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
26Dhavhidhi akavakira Jehovha aritari ipapo, akabayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuyananisa, akashumira Jehovha; iye akamupindura nomoto wakabva kudenga ukawira paaritari yechipiriso chinopiswa.
26And David built there an altar unto Jehovah, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon Jehovah; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.
27Jehovha akaraira mutumwa, iye akadzoserazve munondo wake mumuhara wawo.
27And Jehovah commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.
28Zvino nenguva iyo Dhavhidhi akati aona kuti Jehovha amupindura paburiro raOrinani muJebhusi, akabayirapo.
28At that time, when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29Nekuti panguva iyo tabhenekari yaJehovha, yakanga yavakwa naMozisi murenje, nearitari yokupisira zvipiriso, zvakanga zviri padunhu rakakwirira paGibhiyoni.
29For the tabernacle of Jehovah, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
30Asi Dhavhidhi akanga asingagoni kuendako kuzobvunza Mwari pamberi payo; nekuti akanga achitya nemhaka yomunondo womutumwa waJehovha.
30But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Jehovah.
