1Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
1 Gaa no Saytan* tun ka kay ka gaaba nda Israyla ka Dawda zuku a ma Israyla kabu.
2David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, “Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them.”
2 Kala Dawda ne Yowab da jama jine borey se: «Wa koy ka Israyla kabu za Beyer-Seba gaa ka koy hala Dan gaa, ka kand'ay se baaru hal ay m'i lasaabo bay.»
3Joab said, “May Yahweh make his people a hundred times as many as they are. But, my lord the king, aren’t they all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?”
3 Yowab mo ne: «Rabbi ma nga jama tonton hala sorro zangu ka bisa sohõ waney cine! Amma, ya koyo ay bonkoono, manti i kulu ay koyo tamyaŋ no? Ifo se no ay koyo ga woodin ceeci? Ifo se no a ga ciya taali beeri sabaabu Israyla se?»
4Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
4 Kulu nda yaadin, bonkoono sanno hin Yowab wano. Woodin sabbay se no Yowab dira ka Israyla kulu gana ka ye ka kaa Urusalima.
5Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew sword: and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who drew sword.
5 Yowab mo na borey kulu kabuyaŋ lasaabo no Dawda se. Israyla kulu ra i gar alboro zambar hala zambar fo da zambar zangu, kaŋ yaŋ ga waani takuba. Yahuda mo gonda zambar zangu taaci nda wayye kaŋ yaŋ ga waani takuba.
6But he didn’t count Levi and Benjamin among them; for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.
6 Amma a mana Lawitey da Benyamin kundey kabu i ra, zama Yowab go ga koyo lordo fanta.
7God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel.
7 Haya din mo ga laala no Irikoy diyaŋ gaa, hal a na Israyla kar.
8David said to God, “I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.”
8 Dawda mo ne Irikoy se: «Ay na zunubi te gumo, za kaŋ ay na hayo wo te. Amma sohõ, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma ay, ni tamo laala tuusu ka kaa, zama ay na saamotaray te gumo.»
9Yahweh spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying,
9 Rabbi mo salaŋ Dawda wane annabo Gad se ka ne:
10“Go and speak to David, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”
10 «Ma koy ka salaŋ Dawda se ka ne yaa no Rabbi ci: Ay ga hari hinza salle ni se: kala ni ma afo suuban i ra ni boŋ se, kaŋ ay ga te ni se.»
11So Gad came to David, and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Take your choice:
11 Kala Gad kaa Dawda do ka ne a se: «Rabbi ne ni ma suuban ni boŋ se:
12either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days the sword of Yahweh, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of Yahweh destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.’”
12 hala jiiri hinza haray, wala handu hinza kaŋ ni ibarey ga ni gaaray, i takuba mo ma ni to, wala mo Rabbi takuba hala jirbi hinza, sanda balaaw ma laabo ŋwa, Rabbi malayka go ga halaciyaŋ te Israyla laabo me-a-me ra. Sohõ kay, ma fongu ka lasaabu tuyaŋ kaŋ dumi no ay ga ye d'a nga kaŋ n'ay donton din do.»
13David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into the hand of Yahweh; for his mercies are very great. Let me not fall into the hand of man.”
13 Kala Dawda ne Gad se: «Ay furo kambe da cimi! Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, naŋ ya furo Rabbi kambe ra, zama a suujo ga beeri gumo. Amma ay ma si furo boro kambe ra.»
14So Yahweh sent a pestilence on Israel; and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
14 Kala Rabbi na balaaw samba Israyla gaa, Israyla alboro zambar wayye bu mo.
15God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, Yahweh saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, “It is enough; now stay your hand.” The angel of Yahweh was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
15 Irikoy na malayka donton Urusalima mo gaa zama a m'a halaci se. Waato kaŋ a ga ba k'a halaci, kala Rabbi di Urusalima masiiba. A bakaraw n'a bina di mo, hal a ne halaciyaŋ malayka se: «A wasa. Ma ni kamba ye sohõ.» Alwaato din mo Rabbi malayka go ga kay Arawna Yebusanca karayaŋ gangano jarga.
16David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Yahweh standing between earth and the sky, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.
16 Dawda mo na nga boŋ sambu ka guna. Rabbi malayka go ga kay beene nda ganda game ra, takuba foobante go a kambe ra ga salle Urusalima boŋ do. Gaa no Dawda nda arkusey, kaŋ go daabante nda bufu zaarayaŋ, i kaŋ ganda birante.
17David said to God, “Isn’t it I who commanded the people to be numbered? It is even I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, O Yahweh my God, be against me, and against my father’s house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued.”
17 Kala Dawda ne Irikoy se: «Manti ay no ka ne i ma jama kabu, wala? Oho, cimi no, ay no ka zunubi te, ay na laala te mo gumo. Amma feejey wo, ifo no i te? Ya Rabbi ay Irikoyo, ay ga ni ŋwaaray no, naŋ ni kamba ma in d'ay baaba windo kar, day manti ni jama wo, hala balaawo m'i ŋwa!»
18Then the angel of Yahweh commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up, and raise an altar to Yahweh in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
18 Gaa no Rabbi malayka ne Gad se a ma ci Dawda se ka ne Dawda ma ziji ka koy ka sargay feema cina Rabbi se Arawna Yebusanca karayaŋ gangano ra.
19David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of Yahweh.
19 Kala Dawda ziji nd'a Gad sanno boŋ kaŋ a salaŋ Rabbi maa ra din boŋ.
20Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
20 Arawna binde zagu ka di malayka. A ize aru taaca kaŋ go a banda mo na ngey boŋ tugu. Arawna go alkama safayaŋ gaa.
21As 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.
21 Kaŋ Dawda go ga kaa Arawna do, Arawna guna kal a di Dawda. A fun mo karayaŋ gangano ra ka koy ka sombu Dawda jine, a moyduma to hala ganda laabo gaa.
22Then David said to Ornan, “Give me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build thereon an altar to Yahweh. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”
22 Dawda mo ne Arawna se: «M'ay no karayaŋ gangano wo zama ay ma sargay feema cina Rabbi se a ra. A nooro timmanta me no ni g'a no ay se, zama i ma balaawo gaay k'a bare a ma fun jama banda.»
23Ornan said to David, “Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Behold, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all.”
23 Kala Arawna ne Dawda se: «Soobay k'a sambu ni boŋ se. Koyo ay bonkoono ma te haŋ kaŋ ga boori ni diyaŋ gaa. Guna, ay ga hawey no i m'i te sargay kaŋ i ga ton, karayaŋ bundey mo ma te tuuri, alkama ma te ŋwaari sarga. Ay g'i kulu no yaamo.»
24King David said to Ornan, “No; but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for Yahweh, nor offer a burnt offering without cost.”
24 Amma Bonkoono Dawda ne Arawna se: «Abada. Zama daahir ay g'a day a nooro timmanta me, zama ay si ni haya sarga Rabbi se, ay si sargay kaŋ i ga ton salle da hay fo kaŋ ay du yaamo.»
25So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
25 Dawda binde na wura sekel* zangu iddu (danga kilo iyye cine) neesi ka no Arawna se ka du nango.
26David built an altar to Yahweh there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on Yahweh; and he answered him from the sky by fire on the altar of burnt offering.
26 Dawda mo na sargay feema cina noodin Rabbi se ka sargay kaŋ i ga ton yaŋ da saabuyaŋ sargayyaŋ salle a ra. A hẽ Rabbi gaa. Nga mo tu a se da danji kaŋ fun beene ka kaŋ ganda feema ra ka sargay kaŋ i ga ton ŋwa.
27Yahweh commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.
27 Rabbi mo salaŋ malayka se, nga mo na nga takuba yeti nyaŋo ra.
28At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
28 Saaya din ra, kaŋ Dawda di kaŋ Rabbi tu nga se Arawna Yebusanca karayaŋ gangano ra, kal a soobay ka sargayyaŋ salle noodin.
29For the tabernacle of Yahweh, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
29 Zama waato din Rabbi hukumo kaŋ Musa te saajo ra, nga nda sargay kaŋ i ga ton feema, i go Jibeyon tudo boŋ sududuyaŋ nango ra.
30But David couldn’t go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Yahweh.
30 Amma Dawda mana du ka koy noodin ka hã Irikoy gaa, zama Rabbi malayka takuba n'a humburandi gumo.
