1 Chronicles 21
1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
Og Satan stod Israel imod, og han tilskyndede David til at tælle Israel.
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.
Og David sagde til Joab og til Folkets Høvedsmænd: Gaar, tæller Israel fra Beersaba og indtil Dan, og bringer mig Besked, at jeg kan vide deres Tal.
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?
Da sagde Joab: Herren lægge til sit Folk, som disse ere, hundrede Gange saa mange! ere de ikke, min Herre Konge, alle sammen min Herres Tjenere? hvorfor forlanger min Herre da dette? hvorfor skal dette være til en Skyld paa Israel?
4 But the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab departed, and went through all Israel, and came [again] to Jerusalem.
Men Kongens Ord fik Overhaand imod Joab; saa drog Joab ud og vandrede igennem hele Israel og kom til Jerusalem.
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.
Og Joab gav David Tallet paa Folket, som var talt; og det hele Israel var elleve Hundrede Tusinde Mænd, som kunde uddrage Sværd, og Juda fire Hundrede og halvfjerdsindstyve Tusinde Mænd, som kunde uddrage Sværd.
6 But Levi and Benjamin he did not count among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
Dog talte han ikke Levi og Benjamin med iblandt dem; thi Kongens Ord var Joab vederstyggeligt.
7 And God was displeased on account of this thing, and he smote Israel.
Men denne Gerning var ond for Guds Øjne, derfor slog han Israel.
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.
Da sagde David til Gud: Jeg har syndet saare, at jeg har gjort denne Gerning; men nu, kære, borttag din Tjeners Misgerning, thi jeg handlede meget daarligt.
9 And Jehovah spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,
Og Herren talte til Gad, Davids Seer, og sagde:
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.
Gak og tal til David og sig: Saa sagde Herren: Jeg lægger dig tre Ting for, udvælg dig een af dem, og den vil jeg gøre dig.
11 And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah:
Der Gad kom til David, da sagde han til ham: Saa sagde Herren: Tag du imod
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.
enten Hunger i tre Aar, eller imod Nederlag for dine Modstanderes Ansigt tre Maaneder, og at dine Fjenders Sværd naar dig, eller imod Herrens Sværd, det er Pest, tre Dage udi Landet, saa at Herrens Engel udbreder Ødelæggelse i hele Israels Landemærke; saa se nu til, hvad Svar jeg skal sige til den igen, som mig udsendte.
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.
Da sagde David til Gad: Jeg er saare angst; kære, jeg vil falde i Herrens Haand, thi hans Barmhjertighed er saare stor, og jeg vil ikke falde i Menneskens Haand.
14 And Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
Saa lod Herren Pest komme i Israel, og der faldt af Israel halvfjerdsindstyve Tusinde Mænd.
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.
Og Gud sendte en Engel til Jerusalem for at ødelægge den, og der han ødelagde den, saa Herren til og angrede det onde og sagde til Engelen, som ødelagde: Det er nok, drag nu din Haand tilbage; og Herrens Engel stod ved Ornans, Jebusitens Tærskeplads.
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.
Der David opløftede sine Øjne og saa Herrens Engel staa imellem Jorden og imellem Himmelen og det dragne Sværd i hans Haand udrakt over Jerusalem, da faldt David og de Ældste, skjulte med Sæk, paa deres Ansigt.
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.
Og David sagde til Gud: Har jeg ikke sagt, at man skulde tælle Folket? ja jeg, jeg er den, som syndede og gjorde meget ilde, men disse Faar, hvad have de gjort? Herre, min Gud! kære, lad din Haand være imod mig og imod min Faders Hus, og ikke imod dit Folk til Plage.
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.
Da sagde Herrens Engel til Gad, at han skulde sige til David, at David skulde gaa op for at rejse Herren et Alter paa Ornans, Jebusitens, Tærskeplads.
19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he had spoken in the name of Jehovah.
Saa gik David op efter Gads Ord, som denne talte i Herrens Navn.
20 And Ornan turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
Der Oman vendte sig om, da saa han Engelen, og hans fire Sønner, som vare hos ham, skjulte sig; men Ornan tærskede Hvede.
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.
Og David kom til Ornan, og Ornan saa sig om og saa David, og han gik frem fra Tærskepladsen og bøjede sig ned for David med Ansigtet til Jorden.
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.
Og David sagde til Ornan: Giv mig den Tærskeplads, saa vil jeg bygge Herren et Alter derpaa; giv mig den for fuld Betaling, at Plagen maa holde op for Folket.
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.
Da sagde Ornan til David: Tag du den og gør, min Herre Konge! det, som er godt for dine Øjne; se, jeg giver Okserne til Brændoffer og Tærskeslæderne til Veddet, og Hveden til Madofferet, jeg giver det alt.
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.
Og Kong David sagde til Ornan: Ikke saa, men jeg vil visselig købe det for fuld Betaling; thi jeg vil ikke tage det, som tilhører dig, til Herren og til at ofre Brændoffer for intet.
25 And David gave to Ornan for the place in shekels of gold the weight of six hundred [shekels].
Saa gav David Ornan for Stedet seks Hundrede Sekel Guld efter Vægt.
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.
Og David byggede Herren der et Alter og ofrede Brændofre og Takofre; og der han kaldte paa Herren, da bønhørte han ham ved Ild fra Himmelen paa Brændofferets Alter.
27 And Jehovah spoke to the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.
Og Herren sagde til Engelen, at han skulde stikke sit Sværd i Skeden igen.
28 At that time when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
Samme Tid, der David saa, at Herren bønhørte ham paa Ornans, Jebusitens, Tærskeplads, da ofrede han der.
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.
Thi Herrens Tabernakel, som Mose havde ladet gøre i Ørken, og Brændofferets Alter var paa den samme Tid paa Højen udi Gibeon.
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.
Og David kunde ikke gaa hen foran den for at søge Gud; thi han var forfærdet for Herrens Engels Sværd.
