“And GOD was displeased with this thing; therefore HE smote Israel. And David said unto GOD, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech THEE, do away the iniquity of THY servant; for I have done very foolishly.
“Neno hilo likawa baya machoni pa MUNGU; kwa hiyo akawapiga Israeli. Naye Daudi akamwambia MUNGU, Nimekosa sana, kwa kuwa nimelifanya jambo hili; lakini sasa uuondolee mbali nakusihi, uovu wa mtumwa wako; kwani nimefanya upumbavu kabisa.
