1 Kronická 21
1 Satan pak povstal proti Izraelovi, a ponukl Davida, aby sečtl lid Izraelský.
Satan decided to cause the Israeli people to have trouble. So he incited David to find out how many men in Israel [were able to be in the army].
2 Protož řekl David Joábovi a knížatům lidu: Jděte, sečtěte lid Izraelský od Bersabé až do Dan, a oznamte mi, abych věděl počet jich.
So David commanded Joab and the other army commanders, “Count all the men in Israel [who are able to be in the army]. Start at Beersheba [town in the south] and go all the way to Dan [city in the north]. Then come back and report to me, in order that I may know how many men there are.”
3 Ale Joáb řekl: Přidejž Hospodin lidu svého, což ho koli, stokrát více. I zdaliž, pane můj králi, nejsou všickni oni pána mého služebníci? Proč toho vyhledává pán můj? Proč má býti uvedena pokléska na Izraele?
But Joab replied, “Your majesty, even if Yahweh allowed us to have 100 times as many soldiers as we have now, you would [RHQ] still rule all of them. So why do you want us to do this? You will surely [RHQ] cause [all the people of] Israel to be guilty of sinning.”
4 Ale řeč královská přemohla Joába. A tak vyšed Joáb, prošel všecken lid Izraelský; potom navrátil se do Jeruzaléma.
But David would not change his mind. So Joab [and his soldiers] went everywhere in Israel and in Judah, and counted the people. Then they returned to Jerusalem,
5 I dal Joáb počet lidu sečteného Davidovi. A bylo všeho lidu Izraelského jedenáctekrát sto tisíc mužů bojovných, lidu pak Judského čtyřikrát sto tisíc, a sedmdesáte tisíc mužů bojovných.
and they reported to David that there were 1,100,000 men in Israel who could be in the army, and 470,000 in Judah.
6 Pokolení pak Léví a Beniaminova nepočítal mezi ně; nebo v ošklivosti měl Joáb rozkázaní královo.
Joab did not count the men from the tribes of Levi and Benjamin, because he was disgusted with what the king had commanded.
7 Ovšem nelíbila se Bohu ta věc, protož ranil Izraele.
David’s command to count the people caused God to become angry, so he [told David that he had decided to] punish [the people of] Israel.
8 I řekl David Bohu: Zhřešil jsem těžce, že jsem to učinil, ale nyní odejmi, prosím, nepravost služebníka svého, nebo jsem velmi bláznivě učinil.
Then David prayed, saying, “Yahweh, what I did was very foolish. I have sinned greatly by what I have done. So now I plead with you, please forgive me.”
9 V tom mluvil Hospodin k Gádovi, proroku Davidovu, řka:
Then Yahweh said to Gad, David’s prophet,
10 Jdi a rci Davidovi: Toto praví Hospodin: Trojíť věci podávám, vyvol sobě jednu z nich, kteroužť bych učinil.
“Go and tell this to David: I am allowing you to choose one of three things [to punish you]. I will do whichever one you choose.”
11 Tedy přišel Gád k Davidovi a řekl jemu: Toto praví Hospodin: Vol sobě,
So Gad went to David and said to him, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You can choose one of these [punishments]:
12 Buďto hlad za tři léta, buď abys za tři měsíce kažen byl od protivníků svých, když by meč nepřátel tvých dotekl se tebe, aneb aby za tři dni meč Hospodinův a mor byl v zemi, a anděl Hospodinův aby hubil po všech končinách Izraelských. Již tedy viz, co mám odpovědíti tomu, kterýž mne poslal.
three years of famine [in Israel], or three months during which your armies will run away from their enemies [who will attack them with] swords, or three days during which I will send my angel to cause many people in the country to die because of a (plague/very serious illness).’ So, you must decide what I will say to answer [Yahweh, ] the one who sent me.”
13 I řekl David Gádovi: Úzko mi náramně; nechť prosím, upadnu v ruce Hospodinovy, neboť jsou mnohá slitování jeho, jediné ať v ruce lidské neupadám.
David replied to Gad, “I am very distressed. But allow Yahweh to punish [MTY] me, because he is very merciful. Do not allow humans to punish me, [because they will not be merciful].”
14 A tak uvedl Hospodin mor na lid Izraelský, a padlo jich z Izraele sedmdesáte tisíc mužů.
So Yahweh sent a plague on [the people of] Israel, and 70,000 of them died because of it.
15 Poslal také Bůh anděla i na Jeruzalém, aby hubil jej. A když hubil, popatřil Hospodin, a zželelo mu se toho zlého. I řekl andělu, kterýž hubil: Dostiť jest, zdrž ruku svou. Anděl pak stál podlé humna Ornana Jebuzejského.
And God sent an angel to destroy the people in Jerusalem by the plague. But when the angel was standing at the ground where Araunah, from the Jebus people-group, threshed grain, Yahweh saw all the suffering that the people had endured, and he was grieved. So he said to the angel, “Stop what you are doing [IDM]! That is enough [IDM]!”
16 Mezi tím pozdvih David očí svých, uzřel anděla Hospodinova, stojícího mezi zemí a nebem, a meč dobytý v ruce jeho, vztažený proti Jeruzalému. I padl David, ano i starší, odíni jsouce žíněmi, na tváři své.
David looked up and saw the angel whom Yahweh had sent, standing between the sky and the ground. The angel had a sword in his hand that was pointed toward Jerusalem. Then David and the elders [of the city], who were wearing clothes made of rough sackcloth, prostrated themselves on the ground.
17 A řekl David Bohu: Zdaliž jsem já nerozkázal čísti lidu? A jáť jsem sám ten, kterýž jsem zhřešil, a převelmi jsem zle učinil, tyto pak ovce co učinily? Hospodine, Bože můj, nechť jest, prosím, ruka tvá proti mně, a proti domu otce mého, ale proti lidu tvému nechť není rána.
David said to God, “I am [RHQ] the one who ordered the men who could be in the army to be counted. I am the one who has sinned and done what is very wrong, but these people are [as innocent as] [MET] sheep. They have certainly not [RHQ] done anything [that is wrong]. So Yahweh my God, punish [IDM] me and my family, but do not allow this plague to continue to [cause] your people [to become sick and die].”
18 Zatím anděl Hospodinův mluvil k Gádovi, aby řekl Davidovi, aby vstoupě, vzdělal oltář Hospodinu na humně Ornana Jebuzejského.
Then the angel who was sent by Yahweh told Gad to go up to the place where Araunah threshed grain and tell David to build an altar to [worship] Yahweh there.
19 I vstoupil David podlé řeči Gádovy, kterouž byl mluvil ve jménu Hospodinovu.
So [after Gad told] David, [he] obeyed the message that Yahweh [MTY] had given to Gad, [and he went up there].
20 A obrátiv se Ornan, uzřel toho anděla, a čtyři synové jeho s ním skryli se. Ornan pak mlátil pšenici.
While Araunah was threshing some wheat, he turned and saw the angel. His four sons who were with him [also saw the angel, and they] hid themselves.
21 V tom přišel David k Ornanovi. A pohleděv Ornan, uzřel Davida, a vyšed z humna toho, klaněl se Davidovi až k zemi.
Then David approached. When Araunah saw him, he left the place where he was threshing grain and prostrated himself, with his face touching the ground.
22 Tedy řekl David Ornanovi: Dej mi to místo humna, ať vzdělám na něm oltář Hospodinu; za slušné peníze dej mi je, i přestane rána v lidu.
David said to him, “Please sell me your threshing place in order that I can build an altar here to [worship] Yahweh. Then he will stop this plague. I will pay the full price.”
23 I řekl Ornan Davidovi: Nechť sobě vezme, a učiní pán můj král, což se mu za dobré vidí. Hle, přidám i voly tyto k oběti zápalné, a smyky na drva, i pšenici k oběti suché, to všecko dávám.
Araunah replied, “Take it! Your majesty, do whatever you want to. I will give you the oxen [that thresh the grain] for an offering to be completely burned [on the altar]. And I will give you the threshing boards to use as wood [on the altar], and I will give you grain for a grain offering. I will give all those things to you.”
24 Král pak David řekl Ornanovi: Nikoli, ale raději koupím je od tebe za slušné peníze; neboť nevezmu, což tvého jest, Hospodinu, aniž budu obětovati oběti zápalné darem dané.
But the king said to Araunah, “No, [I will not take these things as a gift]. I will pay you the full price for it. I will not take things that belong to you, things that have cost me nothing and offer them as sacrifices to Yahweh to be completely burned on the altar.”
25 I dal David Ornanovi za to místo zlata ztíží šesti set lotů.
So David paid Araunah 600 pieces of gold for the whole area.
26 A vzdělal tu David oltář Hospodinu, a obětoval zápaly a oběti pokojné, a vzýval Hospodina. Kterýžto vyslyšel ho, spustiv oheň s nebe na oltář zápalu.
David built an altar to [worship] Yahweh there, and he offered sacrifices to be completely burned [on the altar] and sacrifices to restore fellowship [with Yahweh]. David prayed to Yahweh, and Yahweh answered by sending a fire from heaven [to burn up the offerings] on the altar.
27 I řekl Hospodin andělu, aby obrátil meč svůj do pošvy jeho.
Then Yahweh spoke to the angel, and told him to put his sword back into its sheath. [So the angel did that].
28 Toho času když uzřel David, že jej vyslyšel Hospodin na humně Ornana Jebuzejského, obětovával tu oběti.
And when David saw that Yahweh had answered him there at the place where Araunah threshed grain [and had ended the plague], he offered sacrifices there.
29 Nebo stánek Hospodinův, kterýž byl učinil Mojžíš na poušti, a oltář k zápalu toho času byl na výsosti v Gabaon.
Yahweh’s Sacred Tent, which Moses had commanded to be set up in the desert, and the altar for burning sacrifices completely, were at that time on a hill at Gibeon [city].
30 David pak nemohl tam choditi k němu, aby hledal Boha, proto že se zhrozil meče anděla Hospodinova.
But David did not want to go there to request God to tell him what he wanted [him to do], because he was afraid that the angel sent from Yahweh [might strike him with] his sword.
