Kings II 24
1 And the Lord caused his anger to burn forth again in Israel, and [Satan] stirred up David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Juda.
E a ira do Senhor se tornou a acender contra Israel: e incitou a David contra eles, dizendo: vai, numera a Israel e a Judá.
2 And the king said to Joab commander of the host, who was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel and Juda, from Dan even to Bersabee, and number the people, and I will know the number of the people.
Disse pois o rei a Joab, chefe do exército, o qual tinha consigo: Agora rodeia por todas as tribos de Israel, desde Dan até Berseba, e numera o povo: para que eu saiba o número do povo.
3 And Joab said to the king, Now may the Lord add to the people a hundred-fold as many as they are, and [may] the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king desire this thing?
Então disse Joab ao rei: Ora, multiplique o Senhor teu Deus a este povo cem vezes tanto quanto agora é, e os olhos do rei meu senhor o vejam: mas porque deseja o rei meu senhor este negócio?
4 Nevertheless the word of the king prevailed against Joab an the captains of the host: And Joab and the captains of the host went out before the king to number the people of Israel.
Porém a palavra do rei prevaleceu contra Joab, e contra os chefes do exército: Joab pois saiu com os chefes do exército diante da face do rei, a numerar o povo de Israel.
5 And they went over Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right of the city which is in the midst of the valley of Gad and Eliezer.
E passaram o Jordão: e puseram-se em campo junto a Aroer, à direita da cidade que está no meio do ribeiro de Gad, e junto a Jazer.
6 And they came to Galaad, and into the land of Thabason, which is Adasai, and they came to Danidan and Udan, and compassed Sidon.
E vieram a Gilead, e à terra baixa de Hodsi: também vieram até Dan-jaan, e ao redor de Zidon.
7 And they came to Mapsar of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Evite and the Chananite: and they came by the South of Juda to Bersabee.
E vieram à fortaleza de Tiro, e a todas as cidades dos heveus e dos cananeus: e sairam para a banda do sul de Judá, a Berseba.
8 And they compassed the whole land; and they arrived at Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
Assim rodearam por toda a terra: e ao cabo de nove meses e vinte dias voltaram a Jerusalém.
9 And Joab gave in the number of the census of the people to the king: and Israel consisted of eight hundred thousand men of might that drew sword; and the men of Juda, five hundred thousand fighting men.
E Joab deu ao rei a soma do número do povo contado: e havia em Israel oitocentos mil homens de guerra, que arrancavam espada; e os homens de Judá eram quinhentos mil homens.
10 And the heart of David struck him after he had numbered the people; and David said to the Lord, I have sinned grievously, O Lord, [in] what I have now done: remove, I pray you, the iniquity of your servant, for I have been exceedingly foolish.
E o coração feriu a David, depois de haver numerado o povo: e disse David ao Senhor: Muito pequei no que fiz: porém agora, ó Senhor, peço-te que traspasses a iniquidade do teu servo; porque tenho feito mui loucamente.
11 And David rose early in the morning, and the word of the Lord came to the prophet Gad, the seer, saying, Go, and speak to David, saying,
Levantando-se pois David pela manhã, veio a palavra do Senhor ao profeta Gad, vidente de David, dizendo:
12 Thus says the Lord, I bring [one of] three things upon you: now choose you one of them, and I will do [it] to you.
Vai, e dize a David: Assim diz o Senhor: três coisas te ofereço; escolhe uma delas, para que te a faça.
13 And Gad went in to David, and told him, and said to him, Choose [one of these things] to befall you, whether there shall come upon you [for] three years famine in your land; or that you should flee three months before your enemies, and they should pursue you; or that there should be [for] three days mortality in your land. Now then decide, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
Veio pois Gad a David, e fêz-lho saber; e disse-lhe: Queres que sete anos de fome te venham à tua terra; ou que por três meses fujas diante de teus inimigos, e eles te persigam; ou que por três dias haja peste na tua terra? Delibera agora, e vê que resposta hei de tornar ao que me enviou.
14 And David said to Gad, On every side I am much straitened: let me fall now into the hands of the Lord, for his compassions [are] very many; and let me not fall into the hands of man.
Então disse David a Gad: Estou em grande angústia: porém caiamos nas mãos do Senhor, porque muitas são as suas misericórdias; mas nas mãos dos homens não caia eu.
15 So David chose for himself the mortality: and [they were] the days of wheat harvest; and the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from morning till noon, and the plague began among the people; and there died of the people from Dan even to Bersabee seventy thousand men.
Então enviou o Senhor a peste a Israel, desde pela manhã até ao tempo determinado: e desde Dan até Berseba, morreram setenta mil homens do povo.
16 And the angel of the Lord stretched out his hand against Jerusalem to destroy it, and the Lord repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, [It is] enough now, withhold your hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.
Estendendo pois o anjo a sua mão sobre Jerusalém, para a destruir, o Senhor se arrependeu daquele mal; e disse ao anjo que fazia a destruição entre o povo: Basta, agora retira a tua mão. E o anjo do Senhor estava junto à eira de Arauna, o jebuseu.
17 And David spoke to the Lord when he saw the angel striking the people, and he said, Behold, it is I that have done wrong, but these sheep what have they done? Let your hand, I pray you, be upon me, and upon my father's house.
E, vendo David ao anjo que feria o povo, falou ao Senhor, e disse: Eis que eu sou o que pequei, e eu o que iniquamente obrei; porém estas ovelhas que fizeram? seja pois a tua mão contra mim, e contra a casa de meu pai.
18 And Gad came to David in that day, and said to him, Go up, and set up to the Lord and altar in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.
E Gad veio naquele mesmo dia a David; e disse-lhe: Sobe, levanta ao Senhor um altar na eira de Arauna, o jebuseu.
19 And David went up according to the word of Gad, as the Lord commanded him.
David subiu conforme à palavra de Gad, como o Senhor lhe tinha ordenado.
20 And Orna looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on before him: and Orna went forth, and did obeisance to the king with his face to the earth.
E olhou Arauna, e viu que vinham para ele o rei e os seus servos: saiu pois Arauna, e inclinou-se diante do rei com o rosto em terra.
21 And Orna said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? and David said, To buy of you the threshing floor, in order to build an altar to the Lord that the plague may be restrained from off the people.
E disse Arauna: Porque vem o rei meu Senhor ao seu servo? E disse David: Para comprar de ti esta eira, afim de edificar nela um altar ao Senhor, para que este castigo cesse de sobre o povo.
22 And Orna said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer to the Lord that which is good in his eyes: behold, [here are] oxen for a whole burnt offering, and the wheels and furniture of the oxen for wood.
Então disse Arauna a David: Tome, e ofereça o rei meu senhor o que bem parecer aos seus olhos; eis ai bois para o holocausto, e os trilhos, e o aparelho dos bois para a lenha.
23 Orna gave all to the king: and Orna said to the king, The Lord your God bless you.
Tudo isto deu Arauna ao rei: disse mais Arauna ao rei: O Senhor teu Deus tome prazer em ti.
24 And the king said to Orna, Nay, but I will surely buy it of you at a fair price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God a whole burnt offering for nothing. So David purchased the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
Porém o rei disse a Arauna: Não, porém por certo preço to comprarei, porque não oferecerei ao Senhor meu Deus holocaustos que me não custem nada. Assim David comprou a eira e os bois por cincoênta siclos de prata
25 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings: and Solomon made an addition to the altar afterwards, for it was little at first. And the Lord listened to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
E edificou ali David ao Senhor um altar, e ofereceu holocaustos, e ofertas pacíficas. Assim o Senhor se aplacou com a terra, e cessou aquele castigo de sobre Israel.
