1 Chronicles 21
1 Now Satan rose up against Israel, and he incited David so that he would number Israel.
Mas Satanás se levantou contra Israel, e incitou a Davi a que contasse a Israel.
2 And David said to Joab and to the leaders of the people: “Go, and number Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan. And bring me the number, so that I may know it.”
E disse Davi a Joabe e a os príncipes do povo: Ide, contai a Israel desde Berseba até Dã, e trazei-me o número deles para que eu o saiba.
3 And Joab responded: “May the Lord increase his people a hundred times more than they are. But, my lord the king, are they not all your servants? Why would my lord seek this thing, which may be imputed as a sin to Israel?”
E disse Joabe: Acrescente o SENHOR a seu povo cem vezes outros tantos. Rei senhor meu, não são todos estes servos de meu senhor? Para que procura meu senhor isto, que será pernicioso a Israel?
4 But the word of the king prevailed instead. And Joab went away, and he traveled around, through all of Israel. And he returned to Jerusalem.
Mas o mandamento do rei pode mais que Joabe. Saiu por tanto Joabe, e foi por todo Israel; e voltou a Jerusalém, e deu a conta do número do povo a Davi.
5 And he gave to David the number of those whom he had surveyed. And the entire number of Israel was found to be one million and one hundred thousand men who could draw the sword; but from Judah, there were four hundred and seventy thousand men of war.
E achou-se em todo Israel que tiravam espada, onze vezes cem mil; e de Judá quatrocentos e setenta mil homens que tiravam espada.
6 But Levi and Benjamin he did not number. For Joab executed the orders of the king unwillingly.
Entre estes não foram contados os levitas, nem os filhos de Benjamim, porque Joabe abominava o mandamento do rei.
7 Then God was displeased with what had been ordered, and so he struck Israel.
Assim desagradou este negócio a os olhos de Deus, e feriu a Israel.
8 And David said to God: “I have sinned exceedingly in doing this. I beg you take away the iniquity of your servant. For I have acted unwisely.”
E disse Davi a Deus: Pequei gravemente em fazer isto: rogo-te que faças passar a iniquidade de teu servo, porque eu ei feito muito loucamente.
9 And the Lord spoke to Gad, the seer of David, saying:
E falou o SENHOR a Gade, vidente de Davi, dizendo:
10 “Go, and speak to David, and tell him: Thus says the Lord: I give to you the option of three things. Choose the one that you will want, and I will do it to you.”
Vai, e fala a Davi, e dize-lhe: Assim disse o SENHOR: Três coisas te proponho; escolhe de elas uma que eu faça contigo.
11 And when Gad had gone to David, he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Choose what you will want:
E vindo Gade a Davi, disse-lhe: Assim disse o SENHOR:
12 Either three years of famine, or three months for you to flee from your enemies, unable to escape from their sword, or three days for the sword of the Lord and a pestilence to turn within the land, with the Angel of the Lord killing in every part of Israel. Now therefore, see what I should respond to him who sent me.”
Escolhe-te, ou três anos de fome; ou ser por três meses defeito diante de teus inimigos, e que a espada de teus adversários te alcance; ou por três dias a espada do SENHOR e pestilência na terra, e que o anjo do SENHOR destrua em todo o termo de Israel. Olha, pois, o que responderá ao que me enviou.
13 And David said to Gad: “There are difficulties pressing upon me from every side. But it is better for me to fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies are many, than into the hands of men.”
Então Davi disse a Gade: Estou em grande angústia: rogo que eu caia na mão do SENHOR; porque suas misericórdias são muitas em extremo, e que não caia eu em mãos de homens.
14 Therefore, the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel. And there fell from Israel seventy thousand men.
Assim o SENHOR deu pestilência em Israel, e caíram de Israel setenta mil homens.
15 Also, he sent an Angel to Jerusalem, so that he might strike it. And while he was striking, the Lord saw and took pity over the magnitude of the harm. And he commanded the Angel who was striking: “It is enough. Now let your hand cease.” And the Angel of the Lord was standing beside the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
E enviou o SENHOR o anjo a Jerusalém para destruí-la: mas estando ele destruindo, olhou o SENHOR, e arrependeu-se daquele mal,
16 And David, lifting up his eyes, saw the Angel of the Lord, standing between heaven and earth with a drawn sword in his hand, turned toward Jerusalem. And both he and those greater by birth, being clothed in haircloth, fell prone upon the ground.
E levantando Davi seus olhos, viu ao anjo do SENHOR, que estava entre o céu e a terra, tendo uma espada nua em sua mão, estendida contra Jerusalém. Então Davi e os anciãos se prostraram sobre seus rostos, cobertos de sacos.
17 And David said to God: “Am I not the one who ordered that the people be numbered? It is I who sinned; it is I who did evil. This flock, what does it deserve? O Lord my God, I beg you to let your hand be turned against me and against the house of my father. But let not your people be struck down.”
E disse Davi a Deus: Não sou eu o que fez contar o povo? Eu mesmo sou o que pequei, e certamente fiz mal; mas estas ovelhas, que fizeram? Ó SENHOR, Deus meu, seja agora tua mão contra mim, e contra a casa de meu pai, e não haja praga em teu povo.
18 Then the Angel of the Lord instructed Gad to tell David that he should ascend and build an altar to the Lord God on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
E o anjo do SENHOR ordenou a Gade que dissesse a Davi, que subisse e construísse um altar a o SENHOR na era de Ornã jebuseu.
19 Therefore, David ascended, in accord with the word of Gad, which he had spoken to him in the name of the Lord.
Então Davi subiu, conforme a palavra de Gade que lhe havia dito em nome do SENHOR.
20 Now when Ornan had looked up and seen the Angel, he and his four sons hid themselves. For at that time, he was threshing wheat upon the floor.
E voltando-se Ornã viu o anjo; pelo que se esconderam quatro filhos seus que com ele estavam. E Ornã trilhava o trigo.
21 Then, as David was approaching Ornan, Ornan saw him, and he went out from the threshing floor to meet him. And he reverenced him prone on the ground.
E vindo Davi a Ornã, olhou este, e viu a Davi: e saindo da eira, prostrou-se em terra a Davi.
22 And David said to him: “Give this place of your threshing floor to me, so that I may build an altar to the Lord upon it. And you shall accept from me as much money as it is worth, so that the plague may cease from the people.”
Então disse Davi a Ornã: Dá-me este lugar da eira, em que edifique um altar a o SENHOR, e dá-o a mim por seu devido preço, para que cesse a praga do povo.
23 But Ornan said to David: “Take it, and may my lord the king do whatever pleases him. Moreover, I give the oxen also as a holocaust, and the plow for wood, and the wheat for a sacrifice. I will offer all freely.”
E Ornã respondeu a Davi: Toma-o para ti, e faça meu senhor o rei o que bem lhe parecer; e ainda os bois darei para o holocausto, e os trilhos para lenha, e trigo para a oferta de alimentos; eu dou tudo.
24 And king David said to him: “By no means shall it be so. Instead, I will give money to you, as much as it is worth. For I must not take it from you, and thereby offer to the Lord holocausts that cost nothing.”
Então o rei Davi disse a Ornã: Não, mas sim que efetivamente a comprarei por seu justo preço: porque não tomarei para o SENHOR o que é teu, nem sacrificarei holocausto que nada me custe.
25 Therefore, David gave Ornan, for the place, the very just weight of six hundred shekels of gold.
E deu Davi a Ornã pelo lugar seiscentos siclos de ouro por peso.
26 And he built an altar to the Lord there. And he offered holocausts and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord. And he heeded him by sending fire from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust.
E edificou ali Davi um altar a o SENHOR, em o que ofereceu holocaustos e sacrifícios pacíficos, e invocou a o SENHOR, o qual lhe respondeu por fogo dos céus em o altar do holocausto.
27 And the Lord instructed the Angel, and he turned his sword back into its sheath.
E como o SENHOR falou ao anjo, ele voltou sua espada à bainha.
28 Then, seeing that the Lord had heeded him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, David immediately immolated victims there.
Então vendo Davi que o SENHOR lhe havia ouvido na eira de Ornã jebuseu, sacrificou ali.
29 But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses had made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, were at that time on the high place of Gibeon.
E o tabernáculo do SENHOR que Moisés havia feito no deserto, e o altar do holocausto, estavam então no alto de Gibeão:
30 And David was unable to go to the altar, so that he might pray to God there. For he had been struck with an exceedingly great fear, seeing the sword of the Angel of the Lord.
Mas Davi não pode ir ali a consultar a Deus, porque estava espantado por causa da espada do anjo do SENHOR.
