Samuel omutivali 24:1-25
24 Jehova okwa li a handukila neenghono Ovaisrael,+ eshi umwe a lombwela David* a ti: “Inda u ka valule+ Israel naJuda.”+
2 Onghee ohamba oya lombwela Joab,+ ondjai yetangakwaita, oo a li pamwe naye: “Alikana, inda komapata aeshe aIsrael, okudja kuDan fiyo okuBer-seba+ nokushanga ovanhu, opo ndi shiive omuvalu wavo.”
3 Ashike Joab okwa tya kohamba: “Jehova Kalunga koye na hapupalife ovanhu lwe-100, nomesho omwene wange ohamba nae shi mone, ndele omolwashike omwene wange ohamba wa hala okuninga oshinima sha tya ngaho?”
4 Ashike ohamba oya anya okupwilikina kuJoab nosho yo kovakulunhu vetangakwaita. Onghee Joab novakulunhu vetangakwaita ova dja po pohamba, ndele tava i va ka shange Ovaisrael.+
5 Ova tauluka omulonga waJordan nokwoonga onhanda puAroer,+ kolukadi* loshilando pokati kefilu, ndele tava i va yuka kOvagad, nova onga onhanda muJaser.+
6 Konima yaasho, ova ya kuGilead+ nokoshilando shaTagtim-hodsi, ndele tava twikile okuya kuDan-jaan nokudingilila Sidon.+
7 Opo nee ova ya kohotekuma yomuTirus+ nokoilando aishe yOvahevi+ noyOvakaanan, nohauxuuninwa ova xulila muNegeb+ shaJuda, muBer-seba.+
8 Ova pita moilando aishe, ndele tava i kuJerusalem pexulilo leemwedi omuwoi nomafiku 20.
9 Joab okwa yandja kohamba omuvalu wovanhu ovo va shangwa. Israel okwa li e na ovakwaita 800 000 va homata omaongamukonda, na Juda okwa li e na ovalumenhu 500 000.+
10 Ashike eliudo* laDavid ola li tali mu vele ombedi,+ konima eshi a valulifa ovanhu. Opo nee David okwa tya kuJehova: “Onda nyona unene,+ eshi nda ninga oshinima eshi. Jehova, alikana, dimina po omupiya woye omolwenyono olo,+ osheshi onda katuka filufilu shihe li pandunge.”+
11 Eshi David a penduka ongula, ondjovo yaJehova oye uya komuprofeti Gad,+ omumonikokule waDavid, tai ti:
12 “Inda u ka lombwele David to ti, ‘Jehova okwa ti: “Ohandi ku pe u hoolole poinima itatu. Hoolola po osho ndi na oku ku ningila.”’”+
13 Opo nee Gad okwe uya kuDavid, ndele ta ti kuye: “Mbela medu loye namu uye ondjala oule weedula heyali?+ Ile kala to tewatewa kovatondi voye oule weemwedi nhatu?+ Ile moshilongo shoye namu uye oudu wolutapo oule womafiku atatu?+ Diladila nawa paife kutya ondi na oku ka nyamukula ngahelipi ou a tuma nge.”
14 Onghee David okwa tya kuGad: “Osho oshidjuu neenghono kwaame. Alikana, natu handukilwe kuJehova,+ molwaashi oku na onghenda inene;+ ashike inatu handukilwa nande kovanhu.”+
15 Opo nee Jehova okwa tumina Israel oudu wolutapo+ okudja ongula fiyo opefimbo olo la nunwa, novanhu 70 000 okudja kuDan fiyo okuBer-seba+ ova fya.+
16 Eshi omweengeli a yelula eke laye ta aneke Jerusalem e shi hanaune po, Jehova okwe lialuluka* omolwehandukilo olo,+ ndele ta ti komweengeli oo ta hanauna po ovanhu: “Osha wana! Shunifa eke loye pedu.” Omweengeli waJehova okwa li popepi noshipale shaArauna,+ Omujebusi.+
17 Eshi David a mona omweengeli, oo a li ta dipaa ovanhu, okwa tya kuJehova: “Aame nda nyona; aame nda ninga osho sha puka, ndele eedi edi+ oda ninga shike? Alikana, aame u handukila pamwe neumbo latate.”+
18 Gad okwe uya kuDavid mefiku olo, ndele ta ti kuye: “Inda, ndele to tungile Jehova oaltari poshipale shaArauna, Omujebusi.”+
19 Onghee David okwa ya palombwelo laGad ngaashi Jehova a popya.
20 Eshi Arauna a tala pedu nokwa mona ohamba nosho yo ovapiya vayo va yuka kuye, diva Arauna okwa ya nokulinyongamena ohamba oshipala shaye sha twa pedu.
21 Arauna okwa pula ta ti: “Omolwashike omwene wange ohamba e uya komupiya waye?” David okwe mu nyamukula a ti: “Onde uya okulanda ko oshipale shoye ndi tungile Jehova oaltari, opo ehandukilo, olo a tumina ovanhu, li lote.”+
22 Ashike Arauna okwa tya kuDavid: “Omwene wange ohamba ne shi kufe po, ndele ta yandje osho she mu wapalela.* Tambula eengobe dexwikiloyambo, oshilei* nosho yo eendjoko di ka ninge oikuni.
23 Oinima aishe ei ohandi* i pe ohamba.” Opo nee Arauna okwa tya kohamba: “Jehova Kalunga koye ne ku file onghenda.”
24 Ashike ohamba oya nyamukula Arauna ya ti: “Ahawe, ondi na oku i landa ko kwoove kondado yonhumba. Itandi ka yambela Jehova Kalunga kange omaxwikiloyambo inandi a futila.” Onghee David okwa landa ko oshipale nosho yo eengobe keesekeli* 50 doisilveri.+
25 David okwa tungila ko Jehova oaltari+ noku mu yambela omaxwikiloyambo nosho yo omayambo oukumwe. Opo nee Jehova okwa uda ekemo laDavid ponhele yedu,+ nehandukilo, olo a li a tumina Ovaisrael, ola lota.
