< 1 Chronicles 21 >

1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
Tada Satan ustade na Izraela i potače Davida da izbroji Izraelce.
2 And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
Kralj reče Joabu i narodnim knezovima: “Idite, izbrojte Izraelce od Beer Šebe pa do Dana, onda se vratite i kažite mi koliko ih je na broju.”
3 And Joab said, Jehovah add to his people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold: are they not all, my lord O king, my lord's servants? why does my lord require this thing? why should he become a trespass to Israel?
Joab reče: “Neka Jahve dade svome narodu još sto puta ovoliko koliko ga je sada! Nisu li, moj gospodaru kralju, svi oni sluge mome gospodaru? Zašto traži to moj gospodar? Zašto da bude na krivicu Izraelu?”
4 But the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab departed, and went through all Israel, and came [again] to Jerusalem.
Ali kraljeva riječ bijaše jača od Joabove. Tako je Joab otišao i počeo obilaziti sav Izrael, a onda se, najposlije, vrati u Jeruzalem.
5 And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. And all they of Israel were eleven hundred thousand men that drew sword; and of Judah, four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.
Joab dade Davidu popis naroda; Izraelaca bijaše milijun i sto tisuća ljudi vičnih maču, a Judejaca četiri stotine i sedamdeset tisuća vičnih maču.
6 But Levi and Benjamin he did not count among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
Ali nije pobrojio među njima ni Levijeva ni Benjaminova plemena, jer je Joabu bila odvratna kraljeva zapovijed.
7 And God was displeased on account of this thing, and he smote Israel.
Bilo je to mrsko i u Božjim očima, pa Bog udari Izraela.
8 And David said to God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing; and now, I beseech thee, put away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
David reče Bogu: “Veoma sam sagriješio što sam to učinio. Ali oprosti krivicu svome sluzi jer sam vrlo ludo radio!”
9 And Jehovah spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,
Jahve reče Davidovu vidiocu Gadu:
10 Go and speak to David saying, Thus saith Jehovah: I offer thee three [things]; choose one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
“Idi i kaži Davidu: 'Ovako veli Jahve: Troje stavljam preda te; izaberi sebi jedno od toga da ti učinim!'”
11 And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah:
Došavši k Davidu, Gad mu reče: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Biraj sebi
12 Choose thee, either three years of famine, or three months to be destroyed before thine adversaries while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee, or three days the sword of Jehovah and the pestilence in the land, and the angel of Jehovah destroying through all the borders of Israel. And now consider what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
ili glad za tri godine, ili da tri mjeseca bježiš pred neprijateljima i mač tvojih neprijatelja da te stiže, ili da tri dana Jahvin mač i kuga bude na zemlji i Jahvin anđeo da ubija po svim izraelskim krajevima.' Sada promisli i gledaj što da odgovorim onome koji me poslao!”
13 And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah, for his mercies are very great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.
David reče Gadu: “Na velikoj sam muci! Ah, neka padnem u Jahvine ruke, jer je veliko njegovo milosrđe, a u ljudske ruke da ne zapadnem!”
14 And Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
Tako je Jahve poslao kugu na Izraela te pomrije sedamdeset tisuća Izraelaca.
15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; and as he was destroying, Jehovah beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough; withdraw now thine hand. And the angel of Jehovah stood by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Bog je poslao anđela na Jeruzalem da ga istrebljuje; a kad je počeo istrebljivati, pogledao je Jahve i sažalilo mu se zbog zla, pa je rekao anđelu zatorniku: “Dosta je sada, spusti ruku!” Jahvin je anđeo stajao kraj gumna Jebusejca Ornana.
16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Jehovah stand between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. And David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.
David, podigavši oči, vidje Jahvina anđela kako stoji između zemlje i neba držeći u ruci isukan mač koji je podigao na Jeruzalem, i on pade ničice sa starješinama obučenim u kostrijet.
17 And David said to God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned and done evil; but these sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, Jehovah my God, be on me and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be smitten.
David reče Bogu: “Nisam li ja zapovjedio da se izbroji narod? Ja sam, dakle, onaj koji sam sagriješio i grdno zlo načinio, a što učiniše te ovce? Jahve, Bože moj, neka tvoja ruka dođe na me i na moju obitelj, a ne na taj narod da ga pomori!”
18 And the angel of Jehovah commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up and rear an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Tada Jahvin anđeo reče Gadu da kaže Davidu neka uziđe i neka podigne žrtvenik Jahvi na gumnu Jebusejca Ornana.
19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he had spoken in the name of Jehovah.
David je otišao po riječi koju mu je Gad rekao u Jahvino ime.
20 And Ornan turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
A Ornan, okrenuvši se, opazi anđela, a njegova se četiri sina sakriše. Ornan je vrhao pšenicu.
21 And David came to Ornan, and Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself to David with [his] face to the ground.
Uto dođe David do Ornana, a on, pogledavši i opazivši Davida, dođe s gumna i pokloni se Davidu licem do zemlje.
22 And David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of the threshing-floor, that I may build an altar in it to Jehovah: grant it to me for the full money, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
Tada David reče Ornanu: “Daj mi to gumno da sagradim na njemu žrtvenik Jahvi; za potpunu cijenu daj mi ga da bi prestao pomor u narodu!”
23 And Ornan said to David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his sight: see, I give the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-sledges for wood, and the wheat for the oblation; I give it all.
Ornan odgovori Davidu: “Neka ga uzme i neka čini moj gospodar kralj što je dobro u njegovim očima; evo, dajem ti goveda za paljenice, i mlatilice za drva, i pšenicu za prinosnicu; sve ti to poklanjam.”
24 And king David said to Ornan, No; but I will in any case buy [them] for the full money; for I will not take that which is thine for Jehovah, to offer up a burnt-offering without cost.
Kralj David reče Ornanu: “Ne, nego hoću da kupim u tebe i da platim, jer neću da prinosim Jahvi što je tvoje, da prinosim paljenice koje su mi poklonjene.”
25 And David gave to Ornan for the place in shekels of gold the weight of six hundred [shekels].
I David dade Ornanu za ono mjesto šest stotina zlatnih šekela na mjeru.
26 And David built there an altar to Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon Jehovah; and he answered him from the heavens by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.
Tada sagradi ondje žrtvenik Jahvi i prinese paljenice i pričesnice; a kad je prizvao Jahvu, on ga usliša spustivši oganj s neba na žrtvenik za paljenice.
27 And Jehovah spoke to the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.
Jahve zapovjedi anđelu da vrati mač u korice.
28 At that time when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
U ono vrijeme, vidjevši da ga je Jahve uslišio na gumnu Jebusejca Ornana, David poče prinositi žrtve ondje.
29 And the tabernacle of Jehovah, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
Jahvino prebivalište, koje je napravio Mojsije u pustinji, i žrtvenik za paljenice bio je u to vrijeme na uzvisini u Gibeonu.
30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Jehovah.
David nije mogao ići k njemu da traži Boga jer ga je bio spopao strah od mača Jahvina anđela.
