1 H addaba Shayddaan baa ku kacay reer binu Israa'iil oo wuxuu Daa'uud ku dhaqaajiyey inuu reer binu Israa'iil tiriyo.

Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.

2 M arkaasaa Daa'uud ku yidhi Yoo'aab iyo amiirradii, Taga oo reer binu Israa'iil soo tiriya tan iyo Bi'ir Shebac iyo ilaa Daan, oo war ii keena si aan u ogaado dadka tiradiisa.

So David said to Joab and the leaders of the people, “Go and number Israel from Beersheba to Dan. Then let me know how many people there are.”

3 M arkaasaa Yoo'aab yidhi, Rabbigu dadkiisa ha ka dhigo boqol jeer in ka sii badan inta ay haatan yihiin, laakiinse boqorow sayidkaygiiyow, iyagu kulligood sow ma aha addoommadaada? Maxaadse waxan u doonaysaa, sayidkaygiiyow? Oo maxaadse reer binu Israa'iil sabab ay ku dembaabaan ugu noqonaysaa?

Joab said, “May the Lord add to His people a hundred times as many as they are! But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord want this thing done? Why should he bring guilt upon Israel?”

4 H abase yeeshee boqorka hadalkiisii waa ka adkaaday hadalkii Yoo'aab. Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Yoo'aab wuu tegey, oo wuxuu dhex maray reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, dabadeedna Yeruusaalem buu yimid.

But the king’s word was stronger than Joab. So Joab left and went through all of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem.

5 M arkaasaa Yoo'aab Daa'uud siiyey tiradii dadka, oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay ahaayeen kun kun iyo boqol kun oo nin oo seefqaad ah, oo reer Yahuudahna waxay ahaayeen afar boqol iyo toddobaatan kun oo nin oo seefqaad ah.

He gave the number of all the people to David. There were 1, 100, 000 men in all Israel who used the sword. And there were 470, 000 men in Judah who used the sword.

6 L aakiinse isagu sooma uu tirin reer Laawi iyo reer Benyaamiin, maxaa yeelay, Yoo'aab waa karaahiyeystay boqorka hadalkiisii.

But Joab did not number Levi and Benjamin among them because he did not like what the king had told him to do.

7 H addaba taas ayaa Ilaah ugu cadhooday, markaasuu laayay reer binu Israa'iil.

God was not pleased that Israel was numbered so He punished Israel.

8 M arkaasaa Daa'uud Ilaah ku yidhi, Waxaan sameeyey aad baan ugu dembaabay, haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, iga fogee dembigayga anoo addoonkaaga ah, waayo, nacasnimo weyn baan sameeyey.

David said to God, “I have sinned very much by doing this thing. But now I beg You, take away the sin of Your servant for I have done a very foolish thing.”

9 M arkaasaa Rabbigu la hadlay Gaad oo ahaa Daa'uud waxarkihiisa, oo wuxuu yidhi,

The Lord said to Gad, David’s man of God,

10 T ag oo Daa'uud la hadal oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu kugu leeyahay, Saddexdan waxyaalood baan ku siinayaa, ee ka dooro mid aan kugu sameeyo.

“Go and tell David, ‘This is what the Lord says. “I give you three things to choose from. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”

11 S idaas daraaddeed Gaad baa Daa'uud u yimid oo ku yidhi, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Midkaad doonaysid dooro,

So Gad came to David and said, “This is what the Lord says. ‘Choose one of these.

12 s addex sannadood oo abaar ah, ama saddex bilood oo aad ku baabba'did cadaawayaashaada hortooda iyadoo seefta cadaawayaashaadu ay ku gaadhayso, amase haddii kale saddex maalmood oo seefta Rabbigu iyadoo belaayo ah ay dalka dhex marayso, oo ay malaa'igtii Rabbiga dadka baabbi'inayso kulli dalka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan. Haddaba bal ka fiirso jawaabta aan u celiyo kii i soo diray.

Three years of no food in the land; three months to be destroyed by the sword of those who hate you; or three days of the sword of the Lord. This would be a disease sent upon the land. The angel of the Lord would destroy with disease through all the land of Israel.’ Now decide what answer I should give Him Who sent me.”

13 M arkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Gaad ku yidhi, Cidhiidhi weyn baan ku jiraa, Rabbiga gacantiisa aan ku dhaco, waayo, naxariistiisu waa badan tahay, laakiinse yaanan dad gacantiis ku dhicin.

David said to Gad, “I am in much trouble. Let me fall into the hand of the Lord. For His loving-kindness is very great. But do not let me fall into the hand of man.”

14 S aas aawadeed Rabbigu belaayo ayuu ku soo dejiyey reer binu Israa'iil, oo waxaa reer binu Israa'iil ka dhintay toddobaatan kun oo nin.

So the Lord sent a disease upon Israel. And 70, 000 men of Israel died.

15 O o haddana Rabbigu wuxuu Yeruusaalem u soo diray malag wax baabbi'iya, oo markuu u dhowaaday inuu baabbi'iyo ayaa Rabbigu fiiriyey, oo belaayadii ka qoomamooday, oo wuxuu malaggii wax baabbi'inayay ku yidhi, Bes weeye, haddaba gacanta soo celi. Oo malaggii Rabbigu wuxuu ag joogay meeshii hadhuudhka lagu tumi jiray oo uu Aarnaankii reer Yebuus lahaa.

God sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem. But as he was about to destroy it, the Lord saw the trouble and was sorry. He said to the destroying angel, “It is enough. Now take your hand away.” The angel of the Lord was standing by the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

16 M arkaasaa Daa'uud indhihii kor u taagay oo wuxuu arkay malaggii Rabbiga oo taagan dhulka iyo samada dhexdooda oo gacanta ku haysta seef gal la' oo Yeruusaalem ku kor fidsan. Markaasay Daa'uud iyo odayaashiiba, iyagoo dhar joonyad ah qaba, wejiga dhulka saareen.

Then David looked up and saw the angel of the Lord standing between earth and heaven. The angel had his sword in his hand, held out over Jerusalem. Then David and the leaders fell on their faces. They were dressed in cloth made from hair.

17 M arkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Ilaah ku yidhi, Kii amray in dadka la soo tiriyo sow aniga ma aha? Kii dembaabay oo waxa aad u xun sameeyey waa aniga, laakiinse idahanu maxay sameeyeen? Haddaba Rabbiyow Ilaahayow, waan ku baryayaaye, gacantaadu ha ka gees noqoto aniga iyo reerka aabbahay, laakiinse dadkaaga yaanay ka gees noqon oo aanay belaayo ku dhicin.

David said to God, “Was it not I who said that the people must be numbered? I am the one who has sinned and done a very bad thing. But what have these sheep done? O Lord my God, I beg You, let Your hand be against me and my father’s house. But do not let the trouble be upon Your people.”

18 M arkaasaa malaggii Rabbigu Gaad ku amray inuu Daa'uud ku yidhaahdo, Tag oo Rabbiga meel allabari ugu dhis meeshii wax lagu tumi jiray ee Aarnaankii reer Yebuus leeyahay.

Then the angel of the Lord told Gad to say to David, “Go up and build an altar to the Lord on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.”

19 O o Daa'uud baa ku tegey wixii uu Gaad yidhi, oo uu ku hadlay magicii Rabbiga.

So David went up when he heard what Gad said in the name of the Lord.

20 M arkaasaa Aarnaan soo jeestay oo arkay malaggii, oo afartiisii wiil oo isaga la joogayna way dhuunteen. Haddaba Aarnaan wuxuu tumayay sarreen.

Now Ornan was beating the grain. He turned and saw the angel. And his four sons hid themselves.

21 O o markii Daa'uud u yimid Aarnaan ayaa Aarnaan arkay Daa'uud, oo intuu meeshii ka baxay ayuu u sujuuday Daa'uud, wejigana dhulkuu saaray.

Ornan looked and saw David coming. So he went out from the grain-floor and put his face to the ground showing respect to David.

22 M arkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Aarnaan ku yidhi, Meeshan wax lagu tumo i sii, aan meel allabari Rabbiga uga dhisee. Waxaad igu siinaysaa qiima buuxa in belaayadu ay dadka ka joogsato.

David said to him, “Give me this part of the grain-floor, that I may build an altar on it to the Lord. Give it to me for the full price. Then the disease will be turned away from the people.”

23 M arkaasaa Aarnaan wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Boqorow sayidkaygiiyow, qaado oo samee wixii kula wanaagsan, bal eeg, dibida waxaan kuu siinayaa qurbaanno la gubo aawadiis, oo alaabta wax lagu tumona qoryo aawadood, sarreenkana qurbaan aawadiis, anigu kulli waan ku wada siinayaa.

Ornan said to David, “Take it. Let my lord the king do what is good in his eyes. See, I will give the bulls for burnt gifts. I will give the objects made of wood used for beating grain for the fire-wood. And I will give the grain for the grain gift. I will give it all.”

24 M arkaasaa Boqor Daa'uud wuxuu Aarnaan ku yidhi, Maya, laakiinse sida runta ah qiima buuxa ayaan kaaga iibsanayaa, waayo, Rabbiga u qaadi maayo wax aad adigu leedahay, oo qurbaan la gubo oo aanan waxba ka bixin anigu Ilaah ugu bixin maayo.

But King David said to Ornan, “No, I will buy it for the full price. I will not take what is yours for the Lord. And I will not give a burnt gift for which I do not pay.”

25 H addaba Daa'uud wuxuu Aarnaan meeshii ka siiyey dahab miisaankiisu yahay lix boqol oo sheqel.

So David gave Ornan 600 pieces of gold by weight for the place.

26 M arkaasaa Daa'uud halkaas Rabbiga uga dhisay meel allabari, oo wuxuu u bixiyey qurbaanno la gubo iyo qurbaanno nabaadiino, oo Rabbiguu baryay, oo isna wuxuu isagii samada ugaga jawaabay dab ku soo kor dhacay meeshii qurbaanka la gubo.

Then David built an altar there to the Lord. He gave burnt gifts and peace gifts, and he called to the Lord. The Lord answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt gifts.

27 M arkaasaa Rabbigu amray malaggii, isna seeftiisuu ku celiyey galkeedii.

Then the Lord told the angel to return his sword to its holder.

28 O o isla markaasba Daa'uud markuu arkay in Rabbigu isaga uga jawaabay meeshii wax lagu tumi jiray oo uu lahaa Aarnaan oo ahaa reer Yebuus ayuu halkaas ku allabaryay.

When David saw that the Lord had answered him on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he gave his gifts there.

29 W aayo, taambuuggii Rabbiga ee Muuse cidlada ku dhex sameeyey iyo meeshii qurbaanka la guboba markaas waxay dhex yiilleen meesha sare ee Gibecoon ku taal.

The meeting tent which Moses had made in the desert was in the high place at Gibeon then. The altar of burnt gifts was there also.

30 L aakiinse Daa'uud meeshaas ma uu hor tegi karin inuu Ilaah wax soo weyddiisto, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ka baqayay seeftii malagga Rabbiga.

But David could not go in front of it to pray to God. For he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
