Ukubalwa kwabantu
1Intukuthelo kaJehova yaphinda yamvuthela u-Israyeli, wamvusa uDavide ukuba athi: “Hamba ubale u-Israyeli noJuda.
2Inkosi yasisithi kuJowabi induna yebutho eyayilaye: Hamba khathesi ezizweni zonke zakoIsrayeli, kusukela koDani kusiya eBherisheba, ubale abantu, ukuze ngazi umumo wabantu.
3UJowabe wayesethi enkosini: “UJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakwenezela abantu ngokuphindwe kayikhulu, noma ngabe baningi kangakanani, namehlo enkosi yami, inkosi, akubone; kodwa inkosi yami, inkosi, ithokozelani lendaba?
4Kepha izwi lenkosi lamahlula uJowabe nezinduna zempi. UJowabe nezinduna zempi basuka enkosini ukubala abantu bakwa-Israyeli.
5Bawela iJordani, bamisa e-Aroweri ngakwesokunene komuzi ophakathi nomfula uGadi naseJazeri.
6Bafika kwaGileyadi nasezweni laseThatimihodi; bafika eDanjan, bazungeza ngaseSidoni.
7Bafika enqabeni yaseTire nasemizini yonke yamaHivi namaKhanani, baphumela eningizimu yakwaJuda naseBeri Sheba.
8Sebedabule izwe lonke, bafika eJerusalema ekupheleni kwezinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye nezinsuku ezingamashumi amabili.
9UJowabe wayinika inkosi umumo wokubalwa kwabantu; kwakukhona kwa-Israyeli amadoda anamandla ayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili ahloma inkemba; amadoda akwaJuda ayengamadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amahlanu.
10Inhliziyo kaDavida yasimtshaya ngemva kokubala abantu. UDavide wayesethi kuJehova: “Ngonile kakhulu ngalokho engikwenzileyo; ngoba ngenze izinto ezinengi zobuthutha.
11UDavide esevuka ekuseni, izwi likaJehova lafika kuGadi umprofethi, umboni kaDavide, lathi:
12Hamba uthi kuDavide: ‘Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngikubekela izinto ezintathu; zikhetheleni enye yazo, ukuze ngiyenze kini.
13UGadi wasefika kuDavida, wamtshela wathi kuye: Ufike phezu kwakho iminyaka eyisikhombisa yendlala elizweni lakini? Noma uyakubalekela izitha zakho izinyanga ezintathu, zikuxoshe? noma kukhona izinsuku ezintathu zesifo ezweni lakini? ake welulekeni, nibone ukuthi ngizakumphendula bani ongithumileyo.
14UDavida wasesithi kuGadi: Ngisosizini olukhulu; masiwele esandleni sikaJehova; ngokuba umusa wakhe mkhulu, mangingaweli esandleni somuntu.
15UJehova wayesethuma isifo phezu kuka-Israyeli kusukela ekuseni kwaze kwaba yisikhathi esimisiweyo;
16Kwathi ingelosi yelulela isandla sayo eJerusalema ukuyichitha, uJehova wazisola ngobubi, wathi engelosini eyayibhubhisa abantu: “Kwanele, bamba isandla sakho. Ingelosi kaJehova yayisesibuyeni sika-Arawuna umJebusi.
17UDavide wakhuluma kuJehova lapho ebona ingelosi ishaya abantu, wathi: “Bheka, ngonile, ngenzile okubi; kodwa lezi zimvu zenzeni? isandla sakho masibe phezu kwami nendlu kababa.
18UGadi wayesefika kuDavide ngalolo suku, wathi kuye: “Khuphuka, wakhele uJehova i-altare esibuyeni sika-Arawuna umJebusi.”
19UDavide wenyuka njengezwi likaGadi, njengalokho uJehova emyalile.
20U-Arawuna wabheka, wabona inkosi nezinceku zayo beza kuye; u-Arawuna waphuma wakhothama phambi kwenkosi ubuso bakhe bubheke phansi.
21U-Arawuna wasesithi: Kungani inkosi yami, inkosi, ize encekwini yayo? UDavide wathi: “Ukuzithengela isibuya, ukwakhela uJehova i-altare, ukuze inhlupheko yabantu inqanyulwe.
22U-Arawuna wayesethi kuDavide: “Inkosi yami, inkosi, mayithathe, ihlabele okuhle kuyo; bheka, nazi izinkabi zomnikelo wokushiswa, nezibhulo nezinye izinto zezinkabi zibe yizinkuni.
23Zonke lezi zinto u-Arawuna inkosi wazinika inkosi. U-Arawuna wayesethi enkosini: “UJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ukwamukele;
24Inkosi yasisithi kuArawuna: Hatshi! kodwa ngiyakusithenga kuwe ngentengo; ngiyakunikela kuJehova uNkulunkulu wami iminikelo yokushiswa engeyize. UDavide wathenga isibuya nezinkabi ngamashekeli angamashumi ayisihlanu esiliva.
25UDavide wamakhela khona uJehova i-altare, wanikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa nangeminikelo yokuthula. Ngakho uJehova walithandazela izwe, futhi isifo sanqamuka kwa-Israyeli.
