Samweli w’Akabiri 24:1-25
24 Kandi Yehova mwahitana oko Baisraeli omughulu omundu mughuma akuna Daudi erikola omwatsi owakendiletera Abaisraeli b’obuhanya. Omundu oyo mwamubwira ati: “Uyaghanze abandu be Israeli n’abe Yuda.”
2 Neryo omwami mwabwira Yoabu, omukulu w’abasuda biwe, ati: “Ghenda uyalabe-labe omo bihanda byosi bye Israeli, eritsuka e Dani erihika e Beeri-sheba. Ughanze abandu nitoke eriminya nga ni bangahi.”
3 Aliwe Yoabu mwabwira omwami ati: “Mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe, Yehova oMungu waghu ayire abandu mo banene ngendo 100, kandi omwami ayilangirire ekyo. Aliwe busanaki wanzire erikola omwatsi owali ng’oyu?”
4 Aliwe omwami mwakasa Yoabu n’abakulu b’abasuda erikola ekyo, neryo Yoabu n’abakulu b’abasuda mubalua ew’omwami, bamayaghanza Abaisraeli.
5 Mubasoka Olusi lwe Yordani, bamayapanga hakuhi ne Aroeri, oko luhande lw’eyikwa* lw’omuyi owali omo kati-kati k’omusya.* Mubalolera omo biharo by’Abagadi, bamayahika n’ebwanga e Yazeri.
6 Enyuma sy’aho, mubaya omo kiharo kye Gileadi n’omo kihugho kya Tatimu-hodshi, mubayahika ne Dani-yaani, bamalolera ebwanga e Sidoni.
7 Mubaghenda n’omo mwanya ogho omundu ateangahikamo bweghu-bweghu owali e Tiro n’omo miyi yosi y’Abahivi n’ey’Abakanana. N’oko nduli, mubaya e Beeri-sheba omo kiharo kye Negebu ye Yuda.
8 Mubalaba omo kihugho kyosi, bamasuba e Yerusalema habilaba emisi 9 n’ebiro 20.
9 Neryo Yoabu mwabwira omwami abandu abalyaghanzawa nga ni bangahi. E Israeli muyabya abasuda 800 000 abakalwa omo muyali, ne Yuda muyabya abasuda 500 000.
10 Aliwe Daudi abere abibugha arighanza abandu, omutima wiwe mwatsuka erimukenderya, neryo mwabwira Yehova ati: “Nabirikola erilolo erikalire omw’ighanza abandu. Neryo kisi Yehova, unganyire ingye mughombe waghu, kundi ekyo niryakola ni bukiru.”
11 Omughulu Daudi abuka omo tututu, Yehova mwakania n’omuminyereri Gadi. Gadi abya mulangiri oyo wabya akahana Daudi. OMungu mwabwira Gadi ati:
12 “Ghenda uyabwire Daudi uti, ‘Yehova akabugha ati: “Usombole oko bindu bisatu bino ekyo ngendikukolera.”’”
13 Neryo Gadi mwingira omo nyumba ya Daudi, amamubwira ati: “Ukendisombola ekyahi? Wanzire omo kihugho kyaghu imwabya enzala oko myaka 7? Wanzire omo misi 3 iwabya ukatibita ukasagha esyonzighu syaghu? Kutse wanzire omo kihugho kyaghu imwabya ekihunzo omo biro bisatu? Ulengekanaye ndeke, neryo ukendinibwira ekyo ngendiyabwira oyulyanituma.”
14 Neryo Daudi mwabwira Gadi ati: “Byamanikenderya kutsibu. Omo mwanya w’omundu eriniha amalipizi, kwanya Yehova iyo watuhagho, kundi iye akaghanyira kutsibu.”
15 Neryo Yehova mwatuma oko Baisraeli kw’ekihunzo eritsuka omo tututu erihika omughulu abugha ati kikendihwa, abandu 70 000 mubahola eritsuka e Dani erihika e Beeri-sheba.
16 Omumalaika abere abilolerya ebyala biwe ebwanga e Yerusalema akasonda eriita abandu abali omo muyi oyo, Yehova mwayikubya b’omo busana n’obuhanya obo abya akasonda erileta oko muyi oyo, neryo mwabwira omumalaika oyo wabya akita abandu ati: “Lekeraho! Kimaya ebyala byaghu.” Omumalaika wa Yehova abya hakuhi n’ekihumbiro kya Arauna Omuyebusi.
17 Omughulu Daudi alangira omumalaika oyo wabya akita abandu, mwabwira Yehova ati: “N’ingye niryakola erilolo, kandi n’ingye niryakola ekosa, esyombuli esi sikatakwiraki? Kisi ingye n’ekihanda kya baba waghe, n’itwe uhe amalipizi.”
18 Neryo ekiro ekyo Gadi mwaya ewa Daudi, amayamubwira ati: “Hetukira eyiri ekihumbiro kya Arauna Omuyebusi, uyahimbireho Yehova ekiherero.”
19 Neryo Daudi mwahetukirayo, ngoko Yehova abwira Gadi ati amubwire.
20 Arauna mwabya abilangira omwami n’abaghombe biwe ibanemwasa, mwalw’iniayabakokya, amunama n’erihira obusu bwiwe b’oko kitaka embere sy’omwami.
21 Arauna mwabulya Daudi ati: “Mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe, ukasa ewaghe ingye mughombe waghu busanaki?” Daudi mwamusubirya ati: “Ngasyaghula ekihumbiro kyaghu nitoke erihimbiraho Yehova ekiherero, obuhanya obukahika oko bandu butoke erihwa.”
22 Aliwe Arauna mwabwira Daudi ati: “Mukama waghe kandi mwami waghe, imayakyo, uherereho obuhere ngoko wanzire. Ngakuha n’esyonde. Wanganahererasyo mo buhere bw’eryokererya. Wamalagha oko syongwe, iwimya n’emiti y’erihumbamo, n’omuketo ogho tukahira oko syonde.
23 Mwami waghe, ebyosi ebyo ngakuhabyo.” Kandi Arauna mwabwira omwami ati: “Yehova oMungu waghu akutsumule.”
24 Aliwe omwami mwabwira Arauna ati: “Iyehe, ngendikuliha. Sinendiherera Yehova oMungu waghe amahere w’eryokererya ogho nitalyaghula.” Neryo Daudi mwaghula ekihumbiro ekyo n’esyonde esyo oko syoshekeli* 50 sy’efeza.*
25 Enyuma sy’aho, Daudi mwahimbira Yehova y’ekiherero, amamuherera amahere w’eryokererya n’amahere w’obuholo. Yehova mwowa ekiriro kya Daudi ekyo alira busana n’ekihugho, n’obuhanya obwahikira Abaisraeli mubwahwa.
