< Chronicles I 21 >

1 And the devil stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
Então Satanaz se levantou contra Israel, e incitou David a numerar a Israel.
2 And king David said to Joab and to the captains of the forces, Go, number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me [the account], and I shall know their number.
E disse David a Joab e aos maioraes do povo: Ide, numerae a Israel, desde Berseba até Dan; e trazei-me a conta, para que saiba o numero d'elles.
3 And Joab said, May the Lord add to his people, a hundred-fold as many as they [are], and [let] the eyes of my lord the king see [it]: all [are] the servants of my lord. Why does my lord seek this thing? [do it not], lest it become a sin to Israel.
Então disse Joab: O Senhor accrescente ao seu povo cem vezes tanto como é; porventura, ó rei meu senhor, não são todos servos de meu senhor? Porque procura isto o meu senhor? Porque seria causa de delicto para com Israel.
4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab went out and passed through all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
Porém a palavra do rei prevaleceu contra Joab; pelo que saiu Joab, e passou por todo o Israel; então voltou para Jerusalem.
5 And Joab gave the number of the mustering of the people to David: and all Israel was a million and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and the sons of Juda [were] four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.
E Joab deu a David a somma do numero do povo: e era todo o Israel um milhão e cem mil homens, dos que arrancavam espada; e de Judah quatrocentos e setenta mil homens, dos que arrancavam espada.
6 But he numbered not Levi and Benjamin among them; for the word of the king was painful to Joab.
Porém os de Levi e Benjamin não contou entre elles, porque a palavra do rei foi abominavel a Joab.
7 And [there was] evil in the sight of the Lord respecting this thing; and he smote Israel.
E este negocio tambem pareceu mal aos olhos de Deus: pelo que feriu a Israel.
8 And David said to God, I have sinned exceedingly, in that I have done this thing: and now, I pray thee, remove the sin of thy servant; for I have been exceedingly foolish.
Então disse David a Deus: Gravemente pequei em fazer este negocio; porém agora sê servido tirar a iniquidade de teu servo, porque obrei mui loucamente.
9 And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer, saying,
Fallou pois o Senhor a Gad, o vidente de David, dizendo:
10 Go and speak to David, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I bring three things upon thee: choose one of them for thyself, and I will do it to thee.
Vae, e falla a David, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: Tres coisas te proponho: escolhe uma d'ellas, para que eu t'a faça.
11 And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Choose for thyself,
E Gad veiu a David, e lhe disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Escolhe para ti,
12 either three years of famine, or that thou shouldest flee three months from the face of thine enemies, and the sword of thine enemies [shall be employed] to destroy thee, or that the sword of the Lord and pestilence [should be] three days in the land, and the angel of the Lord [shall be] destroying in all the inheritance of Israel. And now consider what I shall answer to him that sent the message.
Ou tres annos de fome, ou que tres mezes te consumas diante de teus adversarios, e a espada de teus inimigos te alcance, ou que tres dias a espada do Senhor, isto é, a peste na terra, e o anjo do Senhor destruam todos os termos de Israel: vê pois agora que resposta hei de levar a quem me enviou.
13 And David said to Gad, They are very hard for me, even [all] the three: let me fall now into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies [are] very abundant, and let me not fall by any means into the hands of man.
Então disse David a Gad: Estou em grande angustia; caia eu pois nas mãos do Senhor, porque são muitissimas as suas misericordias; mas que eu não caia nas mãos dos homens.
14 So the Lord brought pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
Mandou pois o Senhor a peste a Israel: e cairam d'Israel setenta mil homens.
15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the Lord saw, and repented for the evil, and said to the angel that was destroying, Let it suffice thee; withhold thine hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the threshing-floor of Orna the Jebusite.
E o Senhor mandou um anjo a Jerusalem para a destruir; e, destruindo-a elle, o Senhor o viu, e se arrependeu d'aquelle mal, e disse ao anjo destruidor: Basta, agora retira a tua mão. E o anjo do Senhor estava junto á eira de Ornan, jebuseo.
16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord, standing between the earth and the heaven, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem: and David and the elders clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
E, levantando David os seus olhos, viu o anjo do Senhor, que estava entre a terra e o céu, com a sua espada desembainhada na sua mão estendida contra Jerusalem: então David e os anciãos, cobertos de saccos, se prostraram sobre os seus rostos.
17 And David said to God, [Was it] not I [that] gave orders to number the people? and I am the guilty one; I have greatly sinned: but these sheep, what have they done? O Lord God, let thy hand be upon me, and upon my father's house, and not on thy people for destruction, O Lord!
E disse David a Deus: Não sou eu o que disse que se contasse o povo? E eu mesmo sou o que pequei, e fiz muito mal; mas estas ovelhas que fizeram? Ah! Senhor, meu Deus, seja a tua mão contra mim, e contra a casa de meu pae, e não para castigo de teu povo.
18 And the angel of the Lord told Gad to tell David, that he should go up to erect and altar to the Lord, in the threshing-floor of Orna the Jebusite.
Então o anjo do Senhor disse a Gad que dissesse a David que subisse David para levantar um altar ao Senhor na eira d'Ornan, jebuseo.
19 And David went up according to the word of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the Lord.
Subiu pois David, conforme a palavra de Gad, que fallara em nome do Senhor.
20 And Orna turned and saw the king; and he hid himself and his four sons with him. Now Orna was threshing wheat.
E, virando-se Ornan, viu o anjo, e se esconderam com elle seus quatro filhos: e Ornan estava trilhando o trigo.
21 And David came to Orna; and Orna came forth from the threshing-floor, and did obeisance to David with his face to the ground.
E David veiu a Ornan: e olhou Ornan, e viu a David, e saiu da eira, e se prostrou perante David com o rosto em terra.
22 And David said to Orna, Give me thy place of the threshing-floor, and I will build upon it an altar to the Lord: give it me for its worth in money, and the plague shall cease from [among] the people.
E disse David a Ornan: Dá-me este logar da eira, para edificar n'elle um altar ao Senhor; dá-m'o pelo seu valor, para que cesse este castigo sobre o povo.
23 And Orna said to David, Take it to thyself, and let my lord the king do what is right in his eyes: see, I have given the calves for a whole-burnt-offering, and the plough for wood, and the corn for a meat-offering; I have given all.
Então disse Ornan a David: Toma-a para ti, e faça o rei meu Senhor d'ella o que parecer bem aos seus olhos: eis que dou os bois para holocaustos, e os trilhos para lenha, e o trigo para offerta de manjares: tudo dou.
24 And king David said to Orna, Nay; for I will surely buy it for its worth in money: for I will not take thy property for the Lord, to offer a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord without cost [to myself].
E disse o rei David a Ornan: Não, antes pelo seu valor a quero comprar: porque não tomarei o que é teu, para o Senhor; para que não offereça holocausto sem custo.
25 And David gave to Orna for his place six hundred shekels of gold [by] weight.
E David deu a Ornan por aquelle logar o peso de seiscentos siclos de oiro.
26 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered up whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings: and he cried to the Lord, and he answered him by fire out of heaven on the altar of whole-burnt-offerings, and [it] consumed the whole-burnt-offering.
Então David edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, e offereceu n'elle holocaustos e sacrificios pacificos: e invocou o Senhor, o qual lhe respondeu com fogo do céu sobre o altar do holocausto.
27 And the Lord spoke to the angel; and he put up the sword into its sheath.
E o Senhor deu ordem ao anjo, e elle tornou a sua espada á bainha.
28 At that time when David saw that the Lord answered him in the threshing-floor of Orna the Jebusite, he also sacrificed there.
Vendo David, no mesmo tempo, que o Senhor lhe respondera na eira de Ornan, jebuseo, sacrificou ali.
29 And the tabernacle of the Lord which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of whole-burnt-offerings, [were] at that time in the high place at Gabaon.
Porque o tabernaculo do Senhor, que Moysés fizera no deserto, e o altar do holocausto, estavam n'aquelle tempo no alto de Gibeon.
30 And David could not go before it to enquire of God; for he hasted not because of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
E não podia David ir perante elle buscar ao Senhor; porque estava aterrorisado por causa da espada do anjo do Senhor.
