24 ¹Yɛn Agya abufuw sɔre tiaa Israel bio, na ɔkanyan Dawid tiaa wɔn se, “Kɔ na kɔkan Israel ne Yuda.”

²Enti ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Yoab, asraafo no so sahene a na ɔka ne ho no se, “Kɔ Israel mmusuakuw nyinaa mu, efi Dan kosi Beer-Seba, na kan nnipa no, na mahu nnipa no dodow.”

³Nanso Yoab ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “WʼAgya mfa nnipa no nka wɔn ho mmɔho ɔha sɛnea wɔte no, na me wura ɔhene no ani nhu. Nanso adɛn nti na me wura ɔhene no pɛ sɛ ɔyɛ saa ade yi?”

⁴Nanso ɔhene no ahyɛde no so sen Yoab ne asraafo no so sahene no. Enti Yoab ne asraafo no so sahene no fii ɔhene no anim kɔkan Israelfo. ⁵Wɔtwaa Yordan na wɔbɔɔ nsraban wɔ Aroer nkyɛn, wɔ kurow a ɛda bon no mfinimfini no anafo fam, wɔ Gad kwan so, na wɔtoaa so kɔɔ Yaser. ⁶Afei wɔbaa Gilead ne Tatim-Hodsi mantam mu, na wɔbaa Dan-Yaan, na wɔtwaa ho hyiaa kɔɔ Sidon, ⁷na wɔbaa Tiro aban ne Hiwifo ne Kanaanfo nkurow nyinaa so, na wɔfii adi kɔɔ Yuda Negeb wɔ Beer-Seba. ⁸Enti bere a wɔakyinkyin asase no nyinaa mu awie no, wɔbaa Yerusalem asram akron ne nnafua aduonu akyi. ⁹Yoab de nnipakan no dodow bɔɔ ɔhene no amanneɛ: na Israel wɔ mmarima akokodurufo a wɔtwe akofena 800,000, na Yuda wɔ 500,000.

¹⁰Nanso Dawid kan nnipa no wiei no, nʼahonim buu no fɔ. Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ yɛn Agya se, “Mayɛ bɔne kɛse wɔ nea mayɛ yi mu. Afei, mʼAgya, mesrɛ wo, yi wo somfo afɔdi no fi hɔ, efisɛ mayɛ nkwaseasɛm kɛse.”

¹¹Bere a Dawid sɔree anɔpa no, yɛn Agya asɛm baa odiyifo Gad, Dawid nhumufo no, nkyɛn se:

¹²“Kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ Dawid se, ‘Sɛɛ na yɛn Agya se: Mede nneɛma abiɛsa ato wʼanim. Yi emu baako, na mede bɛba wo so.’”

¹³Enti Gad baa Dawid nkyɛn bɛka asɛm no kyerɛɛ no, na obisaa no se, “Ɔkɔm mfe abiɛsa bɛba wʼasase so anaa? Anaasɛ wobɛguan wɔ wʼatamfo anim asram abiɛsa bere a wɔtaa wo? Anaasɛ ɔyaredɔm bɛba wʼasase so nnansa? Afei dwen ho na si gyinae sɛ mmuae bɛn na mede nkɔma nea ɔsomaa me no.”

¹⁴Afei Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Gad se, “Mewɔ ahohiahia kɛse mu. Ma yɛnhwe yɛn Agya nsa mu, efisɛ ne mmɔborɔhunu dɔɔso yiye; na mma menhwe onipa nsa mu.”

¹⁵Enti yɛn Agya maa ɔyaredɔm baa Israel so fi anɔpa no kosii bere a wɔahyɛ no, na nnipa 70,000 a wofi Dan kosi Beer-Seba wuwui. ^a a v15 Ebia “bere a wɔahyɛ no” kyerɛ anwummere afɔrebɔ dɔnhwerew a wɔahyɛ no.

¹⁶Nanso bere a ɔbɔfo no teɛɛ ne nsa wɔ Yerusalem so sɛ ɔresɛe no no, yɛn Agya sesaa nʼadwene wɔ amanehunu no ho, na ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔbɔfo a na ɔresɛe nnipa no se, “Ɛdɔɔso! Afei twe wo nsa.” Saa bere no na yɛn Agya bɔfo no wɔ Yebusini Arauna ayuporobea ho.

¹⁷Bere a Dawid huu ɔbɔfo a na ɔrekunkum nnipa no, ɔka kyerɛɛ yɛn Agya se, “Hwɛ, me na mayɛ bɔne; me na mayɛ mfomso. Nanso saa nguan yi, dɛn na wɔayɛ? Mesrɛ wo, ma wo nsa mmɛda me ne mʼagya fi so.”

Dawid Si Afɔremuka

¹⁸Da no ara Gad baa Dawid nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Foro kɔ na kosi afɔremuka ma yɛn Agya wɔ Yebusini Arauna ayuporobea so.” ¹⁹Enti Dawid foro kɔɔ sɛnea Gad asɛm no te, sɛnea yɛn Agya ahyɛ no. ²⁰Bere a Arauna hwɛɛ fam huu ɔhene no ne ne nkoa sɛ wɔreba ne nkyɛn no, ɔfii adi kɔkotow ɔhene no, de nʼanim butuw fam. ²¹Na Arauna bisaa se, “Adɛn nti na me wura ɔhene no aba ne somfo nkyɛn?” Dawid buaa se, “Sɛ mɛtɔ ayuporobea no afi wo nkyɛn, na masi afɔremuka ama yɛn Agya, na wɔasiw ɔyaredɔm no ano afi nnipa no so.”

²²Arauna ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Ma me wura ɔhene no mfa biribiara a ɛyɛ no fɛ mmɔ afɔre. Hwɛ, anantwi ni ma ɔhyew afɔre no, na ayuporo nnwinnade ne anantwi kɔnnua nso ni ma nnyansin. ²³Ao ɔhene, Arauna de eyinom nyinaa ma ɔhene.” Na Arauna ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Awurade wo Nyankopɔn ani nsɔ wo.”

²⁴Nanso ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Arauna se, “Dabi, ɛsɛ sɛ metɔ afi wo nkyɛn wɔ ne bo so. Merenfa ɔhyew afɔre a mantua ho hwee mmɔ mma mʼAgya.” Enti Dawid de dwetɛ bɛyɛ pɔn 1.2 tɔɔ ayuporobea no ne anantwi no. ²⁵Na Dawid sii afɔremuka maa yɛn Agya wɔ hɔ, na ɔbɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre. Enti yɛn Agya tiee mpaebɔ a wɔbɔɔ maa asase no, na wosiw ɔyaredɔm no ano fii Israel so.
