16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem . Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
16 Daudi akainua macho yake, akamwona huyo malaika wa Bwana amesimama kati ya nchi na mbingu, naye alikuwa na upanga wazi mkononi, umenyoshwa juu ya Yerusakmu. Ndipo Daudi na wazee wakaanguka kifulifuli, nao wamevaa nguo za magunia.
