2 Samuel 24
1 Again the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and moving David against them, he said, Go, take the number of Israel and Judah.
E a ira do Senhor se tornou a accender contra Israel: e incitou a David contra elles, dizendo: Vae, numera a Israel e a Judah.
2 And the king said to Joab and the captains of the army, who were with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, and have all the people numbered, so that I may be certain of the number of the people.
Disse pois o rei a Joab, chefe do exercito, o qual tinha comsigo: Agora rodeia por todas as tribus de Israel, desde Dan até Berseba, e numera o povo: para que eu saiba o numero do povo.
3 And Joab said to the king, Whatever the number of the people, may the Lord make it a hundred times as much, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king take pleasure in doing this thing?
Então disse Joab ao rei: Ora, multiplique o Senhor teu Deus a este povo cem vezes tanto quanto agora é, e os olhos do rei meu senhor o vejam: mas porque deseja o rei meu senhor este negocio?
4 But the king's order was stronger than Joab and the captains of the army. And Joab and the captains of the army went out from the king, to take the number of the children of Israel.
Porém a palavra do rei prevaleceu contra Joab, e contra os chefes do exercito: Joab pois saiu com os chefes do exercito diante da face do rei, a numerar o povo de Israel.
5 And they went over Jordan, and starting from Aroer, from the town which is in the middle of the valley, they went in the direction of the Gadites, and on to Jazer;
E passaram o Jordão: e pozeram-se em campo junto a Aroer, á direita da cidade que está no meio do ribeiro de Gad, e junto a Jazer.
6 Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of the Hittites under Hermon; and they came to Dan, and from Dan they came round to Zidon,
E vieram a Gilead, e á terra baixa de Hodsi: tambem vieram até Dan-jaan, e ao redor de Zidon.
7 And to the walled town of Tyre, and to all the towns of the Hivites and the Canaanites: and they went out to the South of Judah at Beer-sheba.
E vieram á fortaleza de Tyro, e a todas as cidades dos heveos e dos cananeos: e sairam para a banda do sul de Judah, a Berseba.
8 So after going through all the land in every direction, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
Assim rodeiaram por toda a terra: e ao cabo de nove mezes e vinte dias voltaram a Jerusalem.
9 And Joab gave the king the number of all the people: there were in Israel eight hundred thousand fighting men able to take up arms; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand.
E Joab deu ao rei a somma do numero do povo contado: e havia em Israel oitocentos mil homens de guerra, que arrancavam espada; e os homens de Judah eram quinhentos mil homens.
10 And after the people had been numbered, David's heart was troubled. And David said to the Lord, Great has been my sin in doing this; but now, O Lord, be pleased to take away the sin of your servant, for I have done very foolishly
E o coração feriu a David, depois de haver numerado o povo: e disse David ao Senhor: Muito pequei no que fiz: porém agora, ó Senhor, peço-te que traspasses a iniquidade do teu servo; porque tenho feito mui loucamente.
11 And David got up in the morning; now the word of the Lord had come to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
Levantando-se pois David pela manhã, veiu a palavra do Senhor ao propheta Gad, vidente de David, dizendo:
12 Go and say to David, The Lord says, Three things are offered to you: say which of them you will have, and I will do it to you.
Vae, e dize a David: Assim diz o Senhor: Tres coisas te offereço; escolhe uma d'ellas, para que t'a faça.
13 So Gad came to David, and gave him word of this and said to him, Are there to be three years when there is not enough food in your land? or will you go in flight from your haters for three months, while they go after you? or will you have three days of violent disease in your land? take thought and say what answer I am to give to him who sent me.
Veiu pois Gad a David, e fez-lh'o saber; e disse-lhe: Queres que sete annos de fome te venham á tua terra; ou que por tres mezes fujas diante de teus inimigos, e elles te persigam; ou que por tres dias haja peste na tua terra? Delibera agora, e vê que resposta hei de tornar ao que me enviou.
14 And David said to Gad, This is a hard decision for me to make: let us come into the hands of the Lord, for great are his mercies: let me not come into the hands of men.
Então disse David a Gad: Estou em grande angustia: porém caiamos nas mãos do Senhor, porque muitas são as suas misericordias; mas nas mãos dos homens não caia eu.
15 So David made selection of the disease; and the time was the days of the grain-cutting, when the disease came among the people, causing the death of seventy thousand men from Dan as far as Beer-sheba.
Então enviou o Senhor a peste a Israel, desde pela manhã até ao tempo determinado: e desde Dan até Berseba, morreram setenta mil homens do povo.
16 And when the hand of the angel was stretched out in the direction of Jerusalem, for its destruction, the Lord had regret for the evil, and said to the angel who was sending destruction on the people, It is enough; do no more. And the angel of the Lord was by the grain-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Estendendo pois o anjo a sua mão sobre Jerusalem, para a destruir, o Senhor se arrependeu d'aquelle mal; e disse ao anjo que fazia a destruição entre o povo: Basta, agora retira a tua mão. E o anjo do Senhor estava junto á eira d'Arauna, o jebuseo.
17 And when David saw the angel who was causing the destruction of the people, he said to the Lord, Truly, the sin is mine; I have done wrong: but these are only sheep; what have they done? let your hand be against me and against my family.
E, vendo David ao anjo que feria o povo, fallou ao Senhor, e disse: Eis que eu sou o que pequei, e eu o que iniquamente obrei; porém estas ovelhas que fizeram? seja pois a tua mão contra mim, e contra a casa de meu pae.
18 And that day Gad came to David and said to him, Go up, and put up an altar to the Lord on the grain-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
E Gad veiu n'aquelle mesmo dia a David; e disse-lhe: Sobe, levanta ao Senhor um altar na eira de Arauna, o jebuseo.
19 So David went up, as Gad had said and as the Lord had given orders.
David subiu conforme á palavra de Gad, como o Senhor lhe tinha ordenado.
20 And Araunah, looking out, saw the king and his servants coming to him: and Araunah went out, and went down on his face to the earth before the king.
E olhou Arauna, e viu que vinham para elle o rei e os seus servos: saiu pois Arauna, e inclinou-se diante do rei com o rosto em terra.
21 And Araunah said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To give you a price for your grain-floor, so that I may put up an altar to the Lord, and the disease may be stopped among the people.
E disse Arauna: Porque vem o rei meu Senhor ao seu servo? E disse David: Para comprar de ti esta eira, afim de edificar n'ella um altar ao Senhor, para que este castigo cesse de sobre o povo.
22 And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take whatever seems right to him, and make an offering of it: see, here are the oxen for the burned offering, and the grain-cleaning instruments and the ox-yokes for wood:
Então disse Arauna a David: Tome, e offereça o rei meu senhor o que bem parecer aos seus olhos; eis ahi bois para o holocausto, e os trilhos, e o apparelho dos bois para a lenha.
23 All this does the servant of my lord the king give to the king. And Araunah said, May the Lord your God be pleased with your offering!
Tudo isto deu Arauna ao rei: disse mais Arauna ao rei: O Senhor teu Deus tome prazer em ti.
24 And the king said to Araunah, No, but I will give you a price for it; I will not give to the Lord my God burned offerings for which I have given nothing. So David got the grain-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
Porém o rei disse a Arauna: Não, porém por certo preço t'o comprarei, porque não offerecerei ao Senhor meu Deus holocaustos que me não custem nada. Assim David comprou a eira e os bois por cincoenta siclos de prata
25 And there David put up an altar to the Lord, making burned offerings and peace-offerings. So the Lord gave ear to his prayer for the land, and the disease came to an end in Israel.
E edificou ali David ao Senhor um altar, e offereceu holocaustos, e offertas pacificas. Assim o Senhor se aplacou com a terra, e cessou aquelle castigo de sobre Israel.
