1 Chronicles 21
1 And Satan rose up against Israel: and moved David to number Israel.
Então Satanás se levantou contra Israel, e incitou David a numerar a Israel.
2 And David said to Joab, and to the rulers of the people: Go, and number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me the number of them that I may know it.
E disse David a Joab e aos maiorais do povo: Ide, numerai a Israel, desde Berseba até Dan; e trazei-me a conta, para que saiba o número deles.
3 And Joab answered: The Lord make his people a hundred times more than they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all thy servants: why doth my lord seek this thing, which may be imputed as a sin to Israel?
Então disse Joab: O Senhor acrescente 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 delito para com Israel.
4 But the king’s word rather prevailed: and Joab departed, and went through all Israel: and returned to Jerusalem.
Porém a palavra do rei prevaleceu contra Joab; pelo que saiu Joab, e passou por todo o Israel; então voltou para Jerusalém.
5 And he gave David the number of them, whom he had surveyed: and all the number of Israel was found to be eleven hundred thousand men that drew the sword: and of Juda four hundred and seventy thousand fighting men.
E Joab deu a David a soma do número do povo: e era todo o Israel um milhão e cem mil homens, dos que arrancavam espada; e de Judá quatrocentos e setenta mil homens, dos que arrancavam espada.
6 But Levi and Benjamin he did not number: for Joab unwillingly executed the king’s orders.
Porém os de Levi e Benjamin não contou entre eles, porque a palavra do rei foi abominável a Joab.
7 And God was displeased with this thing that was commanded: and he struck Israel.
E este negócio também pareceu mal aos olhos de Deus: pelo que feriu a Israel.
8 And David said to God: I have sinned exceedingly in doing this: I beseech thee take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done foolishly.
Então disse David a Deus: Gravemente pequei em fazer este negócio; porém agora sê servido tirar a iniquidade de teu servo, porque obrei mui loucamente.
9 And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer of David, saying:
Falou pois o Senhor a Gad, o vidente de David, dizendo:
10 Go, and speak to David, and tell him: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee the choice of three things: choose one which thou wilt, and I will do it to thee.
Vai, e fala a David, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: três coisas te proponho: escolhe uma delas, para que eu t'a faça.
11 And when Gad was come to David, he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: choose which thou wilt:
E Gad veio a David, e lhe disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Escolhe para ti,
12 Either three years’ famine: or three months to flee from thy enemies, and not to be able to escape their sword: or three days to have the sword of the Lord, and pestilence in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying in all the coasts of Israel: now therefore see what I shall answer him who sent me.
Ou três anos de fome, ou que três meses te consumas diante de teus adversários, e a espada de teus inimigos te alcance, ou que três 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: I am on every side in a great strait: 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 disse David a Gad: Estou em grande angústia; caia eu pois nas mãos do Senhor, porque são muitíssimas as suas misericórdias; mas que eu não caia nas mãos dos homens.
14 So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel. And there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
Mandou pois o Senhor a peste a Israel: e cairam de Israel setenta mil homens.
15 And he sent an angel to Jerusalem, to strike it: and as he was striking it, the Lord beheld, and took pity for the greatness of the evil: and said to the angel that destroyed: It is enough, now stop thy hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the thrashing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
E o Senhor mandou um anjo a Jerusalém para a destruir; e, destruindo-a ele, o Senhor o viu, e se arrependeu daquele mal, e disse ao anjo destruidor: Basta, agora retira a tua mão. E o anjo do Senhor estava junto à eira de Ornan, jebuseu.
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 against Jerusalem: and both he and the ancients clothed in haircloth, fell down flat on the ground.
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 Jerusalém: então David e os anciãos, cobertos de sacos, se prostraram sobre os seus rostos.
17 And David said to God: Am not I he that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned: it is I that have done the evil: but as for this flock, what hath it deserved? O Lord my God, let thy hand be turned, I beseech thee, upon me, and upon my father’s house: and let not thy people be destroyed.
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 pai, e não para castigo de teu povo.
18 And the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to tell David, to go up, and build an altar to the Lord God in the thrashingfloor of Ornan 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, jebuseu.
19 And David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spoke to him in the name of the Lord.
Subiu pois David, conforme a palavra de Gad, que falara em nome do Senhor.
20 Now when Ornan looked up, and saw the angel, he and his four sons hid themselves: for at that time he was thrashing wheat in the floor.
E, virando-se Ornan, viu o anjo, e se esconderam com ele seus quatro filhos: e Ornan estava trilhando o trigo.
21 And as David was coming to Ornan, Ornan saw him, and went out of the thrashingfloor to meet him, and bowed down to him with his face to the ground.
E David veio 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 him: Give me this place of thy thrashingfloor, that I may build therein an altar to the Lord: but thou shalt take of me as much money as it is worth, that the plague may cease from the people.
E disse David a Ornan: Dá-me este lugar da eira, para edificar nele um altar ao Senhor; dá-mo pelo seu valor, para que cesse este castigo sobre o povo.
23 And Ornan said to David: Take it, and let my lord the king do all that pleaseth him: and moreover the oxen also I give for a holocaust, and the drays for wood, and the wheat for the sacrifice: I will give it all willingly.
Então disse Ornan a David: Toma-a para ti, e faça o rei meu Senhor dela o que parecer bem aos seus olhos: eis que dou os bois para holocaustos, e os trilhos para lenha, e o trigo para oferta de manjares: tudo dou.
24 And king David said to him: It shall not be so, but I will give thee money as much as it is worth: for I must not take it from thee, and so offer to the Lord holocausts free cost.
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 ofereça holocausto sem custo.
25 So David gave to Ornan for the place, six hundred sicles of gold of just weight.
E David deu a Ornan por aquele lugar o peso de seiscentos siclos de ouro.
26 And he built there an altar to the Lord: and he offered holocausts, and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord, and he heard him by sending Are from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust.
Então David edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, e ofereceu nele holocaustos e sacrifícios pacíficos: e invocou o Senhor, o qual lhe respondeu com fogo do céu sobre o altar do holocausto.
27 And the Lord commanded the angel: and he put up his sword again into the sheath.
E o Senhor deu ordem ao anjo, e ele tornou a sua espada à bainha.
28 And David seeing that the Lord had heard him in the thrashingfloor of Oman the Jebusite, forthwith offered victims there.
Vendo David, no mesmo tempo, que o Senhor lhe respondera na eira de Ornan, jebuseu, sacrificou ali.
29 But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, was at that time in the high place of Gabaon.
Porque o tabernáculo do Senhor, que Moisés fizera no deserto, e o altar do holocausto, estavam naquele tempo no alto de Gibeon.
30 And David could not go to the altar there to pray to God: for he was seized with an exceeding great fear, seeing the sword of the angel of the Lord.
E não podia David ir perante ele buscar ao Senhor; porque estava aterrorisado por causa da espada do anjo do Senhor.
