21 ¹Ndipo Woneneza anawukira Israeli, nasonkhezera Davide kuti awerenge Aisraeli. ^a a v1 Woneneza ndilo dzina limene FHB imagwiritsa ntchito pa Satana, mdani wauzimu amene amatsutsa anthu a Mulungu. ²Davide anati kwa Yoabu ndi atsogoleri a gulu lankhondo, “Pitani, mukawerenge Aisraeli kuyambira Beeriseba mpaka Dani, ndipo mudzandidziwitse, kuti ndidziwe chiwerengero chawo.”

³Yoabu anati, “Atate wathu awonjezere anthu ake mowirikiza ka 100! Mbuye wanga mfumu, kodi onsewa si atumiki a mbuye wanga? Nanga chifukwa chiyani mbuye wanga akufunsa zimenezi? Chifukwa chiyani kudzetsa mlandu pa Israeli?”

⁴Koma mawu a mfumu anapambana mawu a Yoabu, kotero Yoabu anatuluka, nayendayenda mu Israeli monse, ndipo anafika ku Yerusalemu. ⁵Yoabu anapereka kwa Davide chiwerengero cha anthu owerengedwa: Aisraeli onse anali ndi amuna 1,100,000 onyamula malupanga, Yuda anali ndi amuna 470,000 onyamula malupanga. ⁶Koma sanawerenge Levi ndi Benjamini, pakuti Yoabu ananyansidwa ndi lamulo la mfumu.

⁷Chinthu ichi chinali cholakwa kwambiri pamaso pa Atate wathu, kotero anakantha Israeli. ⁸Ndipo Davide anati kwa Atate wathu, “Ndachimwa kwambiri pochita zimenezi. Tsopano, chonde chotsani mlandu wa mtumiki wanu, pakuti ndachita zopusa kwambiri.”

⁹Ndipo Atate wathu anayankhula kwa Gadi, mlosi wa Davide:

¹⁰Pita ukanene kwa Davide, “Atate wako akuti: Ndili ndi zinthu zitatu zoti ndikuchitire; sankha chimodzi mwa izo, ndipo ndidzakuchitira icho.”

¹¹Gadi anadza kwa Davide, nati kwa iye, “Atate wathu akuti: ‘Dzisankhire wekha, ¹²kaya zaka zitatu za njala, kapena miyezi itatu yothawa pamaso pa adani ako, lupanga lawo likukupeza, kapena masiku atatu a lupanga la Atate wathu: mliri m'dziko, ndipo mngelo wa Atate wathu akuwononga m'madera onse a Israeli.’ Tsopano ganizirani yankho limene ndidzabwezera kwa amene anandituma.”

¹³Davide anati kwa Gadi, “Ndili pa mavuto aakulu. Ndigwe m'manja mwa Atate wathu, pakuti chifundo chake nchachikulu kwambiri—koma osati m'manja mwa munthu.”

¹⁴Kotero Atate wathu anatumiza mliri pa Israeli, ndipo anthu 70,000 a mu Israeli anafa.

¹⁵Ndipo Atate wathu anatumiza mngelo kukawononga Yerusalemu; koma pamene mngelo amawononga, Atate wathu anaona, nasintha maganizo pa tsoka ilo, nati kwa mngelo, “Zakwana! Letsa dzanja lako.” Mngelo wa Atate wathu anaimirira pafupi ndi bwalo lopunthira la Ornani Myebusi.

¹⁶Davide anakweza maso ake, naona mngelo wa Atate wathu ataimirira pakati pa dziko lapansi ndi kumwamba, ndi lupanga losololedwa m'dzanja mwake, litatambasulidwa pa Yerusalemu. Ndipo Davide ndi akuluakulu, atavala ziguduli, anagwa pansi chafufumimba. ¹⁷Davide anati kwa Atate wathu, “Kodi si ine amene ndinalamula kuti anthu awerengedwe? Ine ndine amene ndinachimwa ndi kuchita zoipa zazikulu. Koma nkhosa izi—kodi zachita chiyani? E, Atate wanga, dzanja lanu likhale pa ine ndi pa banja la atate wanga, osati pa anthu anu ndi mliri.” ^b b v17 Davide, mfumu imene inali mbusa, akupempha kuti chilango chigwere pa iye yekha m'malo mwa anthu ake—kulozera kutsogolo kwa Yesu, Mbusa Wabwino amene akadzalandira chiweruzo cha anthu ake pa iye mwini mwakufuna kwake.

Guwa la Nsembe Lamangidwa; Atate Wathu Ayankha ndi Moto

¹⁸Mngelo wa Atate wathu anauza Gadi kuti auze Davide kuti akwere, akamange guwa la nsembe la Atate wathu pa bwalo lopunthira la Ornani Myebusi. ¹⁹Kotero Davide anakwera monga mwa mawu a Gadi, amene anawayankhula m'dzina la Atate wathu.

²⁰Ornani anatembenuka, naona mngelo; ana ake aamuna anayi amene anali naye anabisala. Iye anali kupuntha tirigu. ²¹Pamene Davide anafika kwa Ornani, Ornani anayang'ana, naona Davide, nachoka pa bwalo lopunthira, nawerama pamaso pa Davide, nkhope yake ili pansi.

²²Davide anati kwa Ornani, “Ndipatse malo a bwalo lopunthira awa kuti ndimange pamenepo guwa la nsembe la Atate wathu; undipatse pa mtengo wokwanira, kuti mliri uletsedwe pa anthu.”

²³Ornani anati kwa Davide, “Tengani. Mbuye wanga mfumu achite zimene akuona kuti nzoyenera. Taonani, ndikupereka ng'ombe kuti zikhale nsembe zopsereza, ndi zida zopunthira kuti zikhale nkhuni, ndi tirigu kuti ukhale nsembe ya ufa—ndikupereka zonse.”

²⁴Koma Mfumu Davide anati kwa Ornani, “Ayi, ndidzagula ndithu pa mtengo wokwanira. Sindidzatenga zako kuti zikhale za Atate wathu, kapena kupereka nsembe zopsereza zimene sizinandiwononge kanthu.”

²⁵Kotero Davide anapereka kwa Ornani golide wokwana pafupifupi mapaundi khumi ndi asanu chifukwa cha malowo. ²⁶Davide anamanga pamenepo guwa la nsembe la Atate wathu, napereka nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano, nayitana Atate wathu, amene anamuyankha ndi moto wochokera kumwamba pa guwa la nsembe yopsereza.

²⁷Ndipo Atate wathu analamula mngelo, ndipo iye anabwezera lupanga lake m'chimake.

²⁸Pa nthawi imeneyo, pamene Davide anaona kuti Atate wathu wamuyankha pa bwalo lopunthira la Ornani Myebusi, anapereka nsembe pamenepo. ²⁹Mose anapanga chihema cha Atate wathu m'chipululu; icho, pamodzi ndi guwa la nsembe yopsereza, panthawiyo chinali pa malo okwera a ku Gibeoni. ³⁰Koma Davide sanathe kupita kumeneko kukafunafuna Atate wathu, chifukwa anaopa lupanga la mngelo wa Atate wathu.
