And David said unto GOD, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let THINE hand, I pray THEE, O LORD my GOD, be on me, and on my father’s house; but not on THY people, that they should be plagued.
Naye Daudi akamwambia Mungu, Je! Si mimi niliyeamuru watu wahesabiwe? Naam, mimi ndimi niliyekosa, na kufanya yaliyo maovu sana; lakini kondoo hawa, wamefanya nini? Mkono wako, nakusihi, Ee BWANA MUNGU wangu, na uwe juu yangu, na juu ya nyumba ya babangu; wala si juu ya watu wako, hata wao wapigwe.
