13 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, David de Gad ke: “Sane nɛ ɔ he wa ha mi wawɛɛ nitsɛ. I kpa mo pɛɛ, ha nɛ ma nɔ Yehowa dɛ mi, ejakaa e mɔbɔ nami hiɛ babauu nitsɛ; se ko ha nɛ ma nɔ adesa dɛ mi.”
14 Kɛkɛ nɛ Yehowa ngɔ gbenɔ hiɔ nɛ sãã nɔ kɛ ba Israel nɔ, nɛ nihi 70,000 gbo ngɛ Israel.
15 Jehanɛ hu ɔ, anɔkuale Mawu ɔ tsɔ bɔfo ko Yerusalem konɛ e ya kpata ma a hɛ mi; se benɛ bɔfo ɔ miɔ nɛ e maa pee jã a, Yehowa na nɛ e pia e he* ngɛ haomi nɛ ba a he je, nɛ e de bɔfo ɔ nɛ e ngɛ ni ɔmɛ a hɛ mi kpatae ɔ ke: “E hiɛ! Amlɔ nɛ ɔ, moo ba o nine si.” Jamɛ a be ɔ mi ɔ, Yehowa bɔfo ɔ ngɛ Ornan, Yebusno ɔ ngma fiaami he ɔ kasa nya haa.
16 Benɛ David wo e hɛ nɔ ɔ, e na Yehowa bɔfo ɔ nɛ daa si ngɛ kɔɔhiɔ mi,* kɛ e dɛ mi klaate nɛ́ e kɛ tsɔɔ Yerusalem. Oya nɔuu nɛ David kɛ nikɔtɔma amɛ nɛ a ha kpekpe ɔ kplã si, nɛ a ngɔ a hɛ mi kɛ bu zugba.
17 David de anɔkuale Mawu ɔ ke: “Anɛ pi imi nɛ i de ke a kane ni ɔmɛ lo? Imi lɛ i pee yayami, nɛ imi lɛ i tɔ̃; se jijɔ nɛ ɔmɛ lɛɛ, mɛni a pee? Oo Yehowa ye Mawu, i kpa mo pɛɛ, ha nɛ o nine nɛ te si kɛ wo i kɛ ye tsɛ we ɔ; se koo ngɔ haomi nɛ ɔ kɛ ba o we bi ɔmɛ a nɔ.”
18 Kɛkɛ nɛ Yehowa bɔfo ɔ de Gad ke e ya de David nɛ e kuɔ kɛ ya Ornan, nɛ ji Yebusno ɔ ngma fiaami he ɔ, nɛ́ e ya ma afɔle sami latɛ ha Yehowa ngɛ lejɛ ɔ.
19 Enɛ ɔ he ɔ, David kuɔ kɛ ho ngɛ Gad munyu ɔ nya kaa bɔ nɛ Yehowa de ɔ.
20 Jamɛ a be ɔ mi ɔ, Ornan ngɛ hwiit fiaae; benɛ e plɛ e he ɔ, e na bɔfo ɔ, kɛkɛ nɛ e binyumuhi eywiɛ nɛ a piɛɛ e he ɔ ya laa.
21 Benɛ David kuɔ kɛ ba Ornan ngɔ ɔ, Ornan wo e hɛ nɔ, nɛ e na David, nɛ oya nɔuu nɛ Ornan je ngma fiaami he ɔ, nɛ e ya kplã si ha David, nɛ e kɛ e hɛ mi bu zugba.
22 David de Ornan ke: “Moo jua* ngma fiaami he ɔ kɛ ha mi, konɛ ma ma afɔle sami latɛ ngɛ nɔ ha Yehowa. Moo jua ha mi nɛ ma wo mo hiɔ sisiisi, bɔ nɛ pee nɛ haomi nɛ ba ni ɔmɛ a nɔ ɔ se nɛ po.”
23 Se Ornan de David ke: “Ye nyɔmtsɛ matsɛ ɔ nɛ e ngɔ kaa e nɔ́, nɛ e pee nɔ́ nɛ e susu kaa e hi.* Hyɛ, i ngɛ mo nahi nɛ o kɛ ma nyɛ maa sã sami afɔle ɔmɛ, kɛ ngma fiaami tsohi nɛ o kɛ ma nyɛ maa pee lɛ́, kɛ hwiit nɛ o kɛ maa sã ngma afɔle ɔ hae. I kɛ kulaa ngɛ mo hae.”
24 Se Matsɛ David de Ornan ke, “Ohoo, e sa nɛ o jua ha mi nɛ ma wo mo hiɔ sisiisi, ejakaa i be o nɔ́ ko ngɔe kɛ ha Yehowa, nɛ jã kɛ̃ nɛ i kɛ níhi nɛ i ná yaka be sami afɔle sãe ha lɛ.”
25 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, David ha Ornan sika tsu nɛ e jiɔmi ji shekel* 600, nɛ e kɛ he ngma fiaami he ɔ.
26 Nɛ David ma afɔle sami latɛ ngɛ lejɛ ɔ ha Yehowa, nɛ e sã sami afɔlehi kɛ tue mi jɔmi afɔlehi, nɛ e tsɛ Yehowa, nɛ e he nɔ, nɛ e ha nɛ la je hiɔwe kɛ ba sã afɔle ɔ ngɛ afɔle sami latɛ ɔ nɔ.
27 Kɛkɛ nɛ Yehowa fã bɔfo ɔ ke e kpale e klaate ɔ kɛ wo kpo ɔ mi.
28 Benɛ David na kaa Yehowa he lɛ nɔ ngɛ Ornan, nɛ ji Yebusno ɔ ngma fiaami he ɔ, e ya nɔ nɛ e sã afɔle ngɛ lejɛ ɔ.
29 Se jamɛ a be ɔ mi ɔ, Yehowa bo tsu klɔuklɔu ɔ nɛ Mose pee ngɛ nga a nɔ ɔ, kɛ afɔle sami latɛ nɛ a sãã sami afɔle ngɛ nɔ ɔ ngɛ he nɛ ya hiɔwe ɔ ngɛ Gibeon.
30 Se David nyɛ we nɛ e ya lejɛ ɔ nɛ e ya bi Mawu juɛmi, ejakaa e ye gbeye wawɛɛ ngɛ Yehowa bɔfo ɔ klaate ɔ he je.
