IziKronike 1-21
uSirayeli ubalwa ukusuka eBher-shebha ukuya kutsho kwaDan
1Ke kaloku uSathana wabasukela oonyana bakaSirayeli, wamlinga uDavide ukuba awabale amaSirayeli. 2Wathi uDavide kuYowabhi nakubathetheli babantu, Hambani niye kuwabala amaSirayeli, nithabathele eBher-shebha, nide nise kwaDan; undizisele inani labo, ndilazi. 3Wathi uYowabhi, uYehova makabandise abantu bakhe kalikhulu kunabo bangabo; kodwa, nkosi yam kumkani, bonke aba asingabakhonzi benkosi yam na? iyifunelani lento nkosi yam? Kutheni ilityala likaSirayeli nje? 4Laqinisela ilizwi lokumkani kuYowabhi. Wemka uYowabhi, wacanda kumaSirayeli onke, weza eYerusalem. 5uYowabhi wamnika uDavide inani labantu. Bonke abaphuma kwaSirayeli baba liwaka elinekhulu lamawaka, namaYuda angamawaka angamakhulu amane anamanci mathandathu amawaka. 6Akababalelanga uLevi noBhenjamin phakathi kwabo, ngokuba ilizwi lokumkani lalisikizi kuYowabhi. 7Akakholiswanga ke ngulo uThixo; ngoko ke, wawoyisa amaSirayeli. 8Wathi uDavide kuThixo, Ndonile kunene ngale nto ndiyenzileyo; ke ngoko bususe ububi bomkhonzi wakho; ngokuba ndenze izinto ezininzi zobudenge. 9Wathetha uYehova kuGadi, imboni kaDavide, wathi: 10Yiya uthethe kuDavide, uthi, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ndikunika izinto ezintathu; zinyulele ibe nye kuzo, ndikwenzele yona. 11Waya ke uGadi kuDavide, wathi kuye, uYehova uthe, Zinyulele; 12nokuba yiminyaka emithathu yendlala; nokuba ziinyanga ezintathu ugxothwe ziintshaba zakho, xa umkhonto weentshaba zakho ufika kuwe; nokuba ziintsuku ezintathu ikrele likaYehova, nendyikitya yokufa, ibe sehlabathini; ke isithunywa sikaYehova sawatshabalalisa onke amazwe akwaSirayeli. Kaloku ke, mandinixelele ilizwi endiya kulibuyisela kowandithumayo. 13Wathi uDavide kuGadi, Ndibandezelekile; mandiwele esandleni sikaYehova; ngokuba zininzi iinceba zakhe, kodwa mandingaweli ezandleni zabantu. 14uYehova wathumela isibetho kuSirayeli, kwaza kwafa amashumi asixhenxe amawaka amadoda kwaSirayeli. 15uThixo wathuma isithunywa eYerusalem, ukuba siyitshabalalise; wakubona oko uYehova, wasikwa yimfesane ngenxa yobubi obo, wathi kwisithunywa eso sitshabalalisayo, Kwanele, bamba isandla sakho. Ingelosi kaYehova yayimi etroneni kaOrnan umYebhusi. 16Wawaphakamisa amehlo akhe uDavide, wayibona ingelosi kaYehova imi phakathi komhlaba nezulu, iphethe ikrele layo ngesandla, isalathe eYerusalem. Emva koko uDavide namadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli bawa ngobuso, benxibe iingubo ezimnyama. 17Wathi uDavide kuThixo, Asindim yini na othe mababalwe abantu? ndonile, ndonile, ndonile; kodwa ezi zimvu zenze ntoni na? Yehova, Thixo wam, isandla sakho masibe phezu kwam, nendlu kabawo; kungabi phakathi kwabantu bakho, ukuze batshatyalaliswe. 18Ke isithunywa sikaNdikhoyo sathi kuGadi makaxelele uDavide ukuba uDavide makanyuke aye kumakhela uNdikhoyo iqonga lamadini esandeni sikaOrnan umYebhusi. 19Wenyuka uDavide ngokwelizwi likaGadi, awalithethayo egameni likaYehova. 20Wajika uOrnane, wabona isithunywa; oonyana bakhe abane abakunye naye bazimele. Ke uOrnane wayebhula ingqolowa. 21Wathi akufika uDavide kuOrnan, uOrnan wakhangela waza wambona uDavide, waphuma esandeni waza waqubuda kuDavide ejonge phantsi. 22Wathi uDavide kuOrnan, Ndinike esi sandá, ndimakhele khona uYehova isibingelelo; ndinike ngexabiso elizalisekileyo, sithintelwe isibetho sabantu. 23Wathi uOrnan kuDavide, Yithabathe, inkosi yam ukumkani yenze okulungileyo emehlweni ayo; Yabonani, ndininika iinkomo zibe ngamadini anyukayo, namakhiwane abe ziinkuni, nengqolowa ibe ngumnikelo wokudla; Ndinikela ngako konke. 24Wathi ukumkani uDavide kuOrnan: “Hayi! kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kusithenga ngexabiso elipheleleyo, ngenxa yokuba andiyi kuthabatha oko kukokwakho kuYehova, okanye ndinikele nomnikelo otshiswayo ngaphandle kwentlawulo. 25uDavide wamnika uOrnan loo ndawo ubunzima beeshekele zegolide ezibunzima bumakhulu mathandathu. 26Wakhela apho ke uDavide isibingelelo kuYehova, wanyusa amadini anyukayo neyombulelo, wanqula uYehova; wamphendula ngomlilo ophuma ezulwini, phezu kwesibingelelo sedini elinyukayo. 27Wathetha uYehova kwisithunywa; walifaka ikrele esingxotyeni sakhe. 28Ngelo xesha akubona uDavide ukuba uYehova umphendule ngesibetho sikaOrnan umYebhusi, wabingelela apho. 29Kuba ngelo xesha umnquba kaYehova awawenzayo uMoses entlango nesibingelelo somnikelo otshiswayo zazikwindawo ephakamileyo yaseGibheyon. 30Kodwa uDavide akazange akwazi ukumkhokelela ekubeni abuze kuThixo, kuba wayesoyika ikrele lengelosi kaYehova.
