1 IziKronike 21

¹USathane wavukela u-Israyeli, wamlinga uDavide ukuba abale u-Israyeli.

²UDavide wathi kuJowabe nasezinduneni zabantu: “Hambani nibale u-Israyeli kusukela eBeri Sheba kuze kube kwaDani; nilethe kimi inani labo, ukuze ngilazi.

³Wathi uJowabe: “UJehova makenze abantu bakhe ngokuphindwe kayikhulu kunabo; kodwa, nkosi yami, nkosi, zonke azizona izinceku zenkosi yami na? pho, inkosi yami ifunelani lokhu na? izakuba yisiphambeko sikaIsrayeli ngani?

⁴Kepha izwi lenkosi lamahlula uJowabe. UJowabe wayesesuka, wadabula u-Israyeli wonke, wafika eJerusalema.

⁵UJowabe wasemnika uDavida inani lenani labantu. Bonke kwa-Israyeli babeyinkulungwane nekhulu lamadoda ahloma inkemba, futhi uJuda babe yizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane namashumi ayisithupha abahlome inkemba.

⁶Kepha uLevi noBenjamini akababalanga phakathi kwabo, ngokuba izwi lenkosi lalinengekile kuJowabe.

⁷Kwaba kubi kuNkulunkulu ngale ndaba; ngalokho wamnqoba u-Israyeli.

⁸UDavide wayesethi kuNkulunkulu: “Ngonile kakhulu, ngokuba ngenze lokho; kepha manje susa ububi benceku yakho; ngoba ngenze izinto ezinengi zobuthutha.

⁹UJehova wakhuluma kuGadi, umboni kaDavide, wathi:

¹⁰Hamba utshele uDavida uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngikubekela izinto ezintathu: zikhethele eyodwa kuzo, ukuze ngiyenze kuwe.

¹¹UGadi wayesefika kuDavide, wathi kuye: “Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Zikhethele;

¹²Noma iminyaka emithathu yendlala; noma izinyanga ezintathu ukuchithwa phambi kwezitha zakho, inkemba yezitha zakho ikufice; noma izinsuku ezintathu inkemba kaJehova, isifo esiwumshayabhuqe ezweni, ingelosi kaJehova ichitha kuzo zonke izifunda zakwa-Israyeli. Ake nginitshele ukuthi yizwi lini engiyakulibuyisela kongithumileyo.

¹³UDavida wasesithi kuGadi: Ngisosizini olukhulu; mangiwele esandleni sikaJehova; ngokuba umusa wakhe mkhulu kakhulu, kepha mangingaweli esandleni somuntu.

¹⁴UJehova wayesethuma isifo kwa-Israyeli, kwawa abantu bakwa-Israyeli abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa.

¹⁵UNkulunkulu wathuma ingelosi eJerusalema ukuba ilichithe; kwathi esachitha, uJehova wakubona, wazisola ngobubi, wathi engelosini echithayo: “Kwanele, bamba isandla sakho.” Ingelosi kaJehova yayimi esibuyeni sika-Orinani umJebusi.

¹⁶UDavide waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wayibona ingelosi kaJehova imi phakathi komhlaba nezulu inenkemba yayo ehoshiweyo esandleni sayo yelulelwe phezu kweJerusalema. UDavide namalunga akwa-Israyeli, abembethe izingubo zokulila, bawa ngobuso.

¹⁷UDavida wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Kakusimi yini owalaya ukuthi abantu babalwe? mina yimi ngonile ngenza okubi impela; kodwa lezi zimvu zenzeni? isandla sakho, Jehova Nkulunkulu wami, masibe phezu kwami naphezu kwendlu kababa; kodwa hhayi kubantu bakho, ukuze bahlushwe.

¹⁸Khona-ke ingelosi kaJehova yayala uGadi ukuba atshele uDavide ukuba uDavide akhuphuke ayokwakhela uJehova i-altare esibuyeni sika-Orinani umJebusi.

¹⁹UDavide wenyuka njengezwi likaGadi alikhuluma egameni likaJehova.

²⁰U-Orinani waphenduka wayibona ingelosi; amadodana akhe amane ayenaye acasha. U-Orinani wayebhula ukolweni.

²¹Lapho uDavide efika ku-Orinani, u-Orinani wabheka futhi wambona uDavide, waphuma esibuyeni wakhothama phambi kukaDavide ubuso bakhe bubheke phansi.

²²UDavide wayesethi ku-Orinani: “Nginike indawo yalesi sibuya ukuba ngakhele uJehova i-altare phezu kwayo; kumelwe unginike yona ngenani eliphelele, ukuze inhlupho yabantu ivinjwe.

²³U-Orinani wayesethi kuDavide: “Zithathele, inkosi yami, inkosi, yenze okuhle emehlweni ayo; bhekani, ngininika izinkomo zomnikelo wokushiswa, nezibhulo zibe yizinkuni, nokolweni womnikelo wempuphu; Nginikela ngakho konke.

²⁴Khona-ke inkosi uDavide yathi ku-Orinani: “Qha! kodwa ngokuqinisekile ngizokuthenga ngenani eliphelele, ngoba ngeke ngithathele uJehova okungokwakho, futhi angiyikunikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa ngaphandle kwezindleko.

²⁵UDavide wamnika u-Orinani amashekeli angamakhulu ayisithupha egolide ngesisindo saleyo ndawo.

²⁶UDavide wamakhela khona uJehova i-altare, wanikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa neyokubonga, wakhuleka kuJehova; wamphendula ngomlilo ovela ezulwini phezu kwe-altare lomnikelo wokushiswa.

²⁷UJehova wayiyala ingelosi; wayesehosha inkemba yakhe futhi.

²⁸Ngaleso sikhathi lapho uDavide ebona ukuthi uJehova wayemphendulile esibuyeni sika-Orinani umJebusi, wanikela khona.

²⁹Ngokuba itabernakele likaJehova uMose alenza ehlane ne-altare lomnikelo wokushiswa ngaleso sikhathi kwakusendaweni ephakeme yaseGibeyoni.

³⁰Kepha uDavide wayengenakuhamba phambi kwakhe ukubuza kuNkulunkulu, ngokuba wayesaba inkemba yengelosi kaJehova.
