2 Samuel 24

1 Men HERRENS vrede blussede atter op mod Israel, saa at han æggede David mod dem og sagde: »Gaa hen og hold Mandtal over Israel og Juda!«

And it repeated [the] anger of Yahweh to burn on Israel and he incited David against them saying go count Israel and Judah.

2 Kongen sagde da til Joab og Hærførerne, der var hos ham: »Drag rundt i alle Israels Stammer fra Dan til Be'ersjeba og hold Mønstring over Folket, for at jeg kan faa Tallet paa det at vide!«

And he said the king to Joab - [the] commander of the army who [was] with him go about please in all [the] tribes of Israel from Dan and to Beer Sheba and enroll the people and I will know [the] number of the people.

3 Men Joab svarede Kongen: »Maatte HERREN din Gud forøge Folket hundredfold, og maatte min Herre Kongen selv opleve det — men hvorfor har min Herre Kongen sat sig sligt for?«

And he said Joab to the king and may he add Yahweh God your to the people like them - and like them a hundred times and [the] eyes of lord my the king [are] seeing [it] and lord my the king why? does he delight in the thing this.

4 Men Joab og Hærførerne maatte bøje sig for Kongens Ord. Joab og Hærførerne forlod derfor Kongen for at holde Mønstring over Israels Folk.

And it prevailed [the] word of the king to Joab and over [the] commanders of the army and he went out Joab and commanders of the army before the king to enroll the people Israel.

5 De gik over Jordan og begyndte ved Aroer og Byen, der ligger midt i Dalen; drog ad Gad til og i Retning af Ja'zer;

And they passed over the Jordan and they encamped at Aroer [the] south of the city which [is] in [the] middle of the wadi Gad and to Jazer.

6 saa kom de til Gilead og til Hetiternes Land hen imod Kadesj, derpaa til Dan, og fra Dan vendte de sig hen mod Zidon;

And they came Gilead towards and to [the] land of Tahtim Hodshi and they came Dan towards Jaan and around to Sidon.

7 saa kom de til Fæstningen Tyrus og alle Hivviternes og Kana'anæernes Byer, hvorfra de gik til Be'ersjeba i det judæiske Sydland.

And they came [the] fortress of Tyre and all [the] cities of the Hivite[s] and the Canaanite[s] and they went out to [the] Negev of Judah Beer Sheba.

8 Efter at de var draget hele Landet rundt i ni Maaneder og tyve Dage, kom de tilbage til Jerusalem.

And they went about in all the land and they came from [the] end of nine months and twenty day[s] Jerusalem.

9 Joab opgav derpaa Kongen Tallet, der var fundet ved Folketællingen, og Israel talte 800 000 kraftige, vaabenføre Mænd, Juda 500 000 Mænd.

And he gave Joab [the] number of [the] muster of the people to the king and it was Israel eight hundred thousand man of strength [who] drew a sword and [the] man of Judah [was] five hundred thousand man.

10 Men efter at David havde holdt Mandtal over Folket, slog Samvittigheden ham, og han sagde til HERREN: »Jeg har syndet svarlig i, hvad jeg har gjort! Men tilgiv nu, HERRE, din Tjeners Brøde, thi jeg har handlet som en stor Daare!«

And it struck [the] heart of David him after thus he had counted the people. And he said David to Yahweh I have sinned exceedingly [that] which I have done and now O Yahweh take away please [the] iniquity of servant your for I have acted foolishly exceedingly.

11 Da David stod op om Morgenen kom HERRENS Ord til Profeten Gad, Davids Seer, saaledes:

And he arose David in the morning. And [the] word of Yahweh it came to Gad the prophet [the] seer of David saying.

12 »Gaa hen og sig til David: Saa siger HERREN; Jeg forelægger dig tre Ting; vælg selv, hvilken jeg skal lade times dig!«

Go and you will speak to David thus he says Yahweh three [things] I [am] laying on you choose for yourself one from them so I may do [it] to you.

13 Gad kom da til David og kundgjorde ham det og sagde: »Skal der komme tre Hungersnødsaar over dig i dit Land, eller vil du i tre Maaneder jages paa Flugt, forfulgt af din Fjende, eller skal der komme tre Dages Pest i dit Land? Overvej nu, hvad jeg skal svare ham, der har sendt mig!«

And he went Gad to David and he told to him and he said to him ¿ will it come to you seven years - famine - in land your or? three months fleeing you before opponents your and he [will be] pursuing you and or? to be three days pestilence in land your now know and see what? will I bring back [the] [one who] sent me word.

14 David svarede Gad: »Jeg er i saare stor Vaande — lad os saa falde i HERRENS Haand, thi hans Barmhjertighed er stor; i Menneskehaand vil jeg ikke falde!«

And he said David to Gad it is distress to me exceedingly let us fall please in [the] hand of Yahweh for [are] great (compassion his *Q(K)*) and in [the] hand of humankind may not I fall.

15 Saa valgte David da Pesten. Ved Hvedehøstens Tid begyndte Soten at ramme Folket; og der døde 70 000 Mand af Folket fra Dan til Be'ersjeba.

And he gave Yahweh pestilence in Israel from the morning and until a time of an appointed time and he died of the people from Dan and to Beer Sheba seventy thousand man.

16 Da Engelen udrakte sin Haand mod Jerusalem for at ødelægge det, angrede HERREN det onde, og han sagde til Engelen, som ødelagde Folket »Nu er det nok, drag din Haand tilbage!« HERRENS Engel var da ved Jebusiten Aravnas Tærskeplads.

And he stretched out hand his the angel - Jerusalem to destroy it and he relented Yahweh concerning the harm and he said to the angel the destroyer among the people enough now let drop hand your and [the] angel of Yahweh he was near [the] threshing floor of (Araunah *Q(K)*) the Jebusite.

17 Men da David saa Engelen, som slog Folket, sagde han til HERREN: »Det er mig, der har syndet, mig, der har begaaet Brøden; men Faarene der, hvad har de gjort? Lad din Haand dog ramme mig og mit Fædrenehus!«

And he said David to Yahweh when saw he - the angel - who was striking down the people and he said here! I (the shepherd *X*) I have sinned and I I have done wrong and these the sheep what? have they done let it be please hand your on me and on [the] house of father my.

18 Samme Dag kom Gad til David og sagde: »Gaa op og rejs HERREN et Alter paa Jebusiten Aravnas Tærskeplads!«

And he came Gad to David on the day that and he said to him go up raise up to Yahweh an altar on [the] threshing floor of (Araunah *Q(K)*) the Jebusite.

19 Og David gik derop efter Gads Ord, saaledes som HERREN havde paabudt.

And he went up David according to [the] word of Gad just as he had commanded Yahweh.

20 Da Aravna, der var ved at tærske Hvede, saa ned og fik Øje paa Kongen og hans Folk, som kom hen imod ham, gik han ud og kastede sig paa sit Ansigt til Jorden for ham;

And he looked down Araunah and he saw the king and servants his passing on to him and he went out Araunah and he bowed down to the king face his [the] ground towards.

21 og Aravna sagde: »Hvorfor kommer min Herre Kongen til sin Træl?« David svarede: »For at købe Tærskepladsen af dig og bygge HERREN et Alter, at Folket maa blive friet fra Plagen!«

And he said Araunah why? has he come lord my the king to servant his and he said David to buy from with you the threshing floor to build an altar to Yahweh so it may be restrained the plague from on the people.

22 Da sagde Aravna til David: »Min Herre Kongen tage den og ofre, hvad ham tykkes ret! Her er Okserne til Brændoffer og Tærskeslæderne og Oksernes Stavtøj til Brændsel!

And he said Araunah to David let him take and let him offer up lord my the king the good (in eyes his *Q(K)*) see the ox[en] for the burnt offering and the threshing-sledges and [the] equipment of the ox[en] for the wood.

23 Min Herre Kongens Træl giver Kongen det hele!« Og Aravna sagde til Kongen: »Maatte HERREN din Gud have Behag i dig!«

Everything he gives Araunah O king to the king. And he said Araunah to the king Yahweh God your may he accept favorably you.

24 Men Kongen svarede Aravna: »Nej, jeg vil købe det af dig for dets fulde Værdi; jeg vil ikke bringe HERREN min Gud Brændofre, som intet koster mig!« Saa købte David Tærskepladsen og Okserne for halvtredsindstyve Sølvsekel;

And he said the king to Araunah In-deed certainly I will buy [it] from you for a price and not I will offer up to Yahweh God my burnt offerings without paying and he bought David the threshing floor and the ox[en] for silver shekels fifty.

25 og David byggede HERREN et Alter der og ofrede Brændofre og Takofre. Da forbarmede HERREN sig over Landet, og Israel blev friet fra Plagen.

And he built there David an altar to Yahweh and he offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings and he was entreated Yahweh for the land and it was restrained the plague from on Israel.
