2 Samuel 24
1 And the anger of YHWH adds to burn against Israel, and [an adversary] moves David about them, saying, “Go, number Israel and Judah.”
Još je jednom srdžba Jahvina planula na Izraelce te potakla Davida protiv njih govoreći: “Idi, izbroj Izraelce i Judejce!”
2 And the king says to Joab, head of the host that [is] with him, “Now go to and fro through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, and inspect the people; then I have known the number of the people.”
I kralj zapovjedi Joabu i vojvodama koji bijahu s njim: “Obiđite sva Izraelova plemena od Dana do Beer Šebe i popišite narod da znam koliko ima naroda.”
3 And Joab says to the king, “Indeed, your God YHWH adds to the people, as they are, one hundred times, and the eyes of my lord the king are seeing; and my lord the king, why is he desirous of this thing?”
Joab odgovori kralju: “Neka Jahve, tvoj Bog, dade svome narodu još sto puta ovoliko koliko ga je sada i neka to još vidi svojim očima moj gospodar kralj, ali zašto moj gospodar kralj ima takvu želju?”
4 And the word of the king is severe toward Joab, and against the heads of the force, and Joab goes out, and the heads of the force, [from] before the king to inspect the people, even Israel;
Ali kraljeva riječ bijaše jača od Joabove i od riječi vojvoda njegove vojske. Tako Joab i vojvode odoše ispred kralja da popišu izraelski narod.
5 and they pass over the Jordan, and encamp in Aroer, on the right of the city that [is] in the midst of the Brook of Gad, and to Jazer,
Prijeđoše oni preko Jordana i počeše kod Aroera i kod grada što leži usred doline i krenuše odande prema Gaditima i prema Jazeru.
6 and they come to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-Hodshi, and they come to Dan-Jaan, and around to Sidon,
Potom dođoše u Gilead i u zemlju Hetita, u Kadeš; zatim stigoše u Dan, a iz Dana skrenuše prema Sidonu.
7 and they come to the fortress of Tyre, and all the cities of the Hivite, and of the Canaanite, and go out to the south of Judah, to Beer-Sheba.
Zatim dođoše do tvrđave Tira i u sve gradove Hivijaca i Kanaanaca i završiše svoj put u Negebu Judinu, u Beer Šebi.
8 And they go to and fro through all the land, and come in to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days,
Prošavši svu zemlju, vratiše se poslije devet mjeseci i dvadeset dana u Jeruzalem.
9 and Joab gives the account of the inspection of the people to the king, and Israel is eight hundred thousand men of valor, drawing sword, and the men of Judah five hundred thousand men.
Joab dade kralju popis naroda: Izraelaca bijaše osam stotina tisuća ratnika vičnih maču, a Judejaca pet stotina tisuća ljudi.
10 And the heart of David strikes him, after that he has numbered the people, and David says to YHWH, “I have greatly sinned in that which I have done, and now, O YHWH, please cause the iniquity of Your servant to pass away, for I have acted very foolishly.”
Poslije toga Davida zapeče savjest što je dao brojiti narod pa reče Jahvi: “Veoma sam sagriješio što sam to učinio! Ali, Jahve, oprosti tu krivicu sluzi svome, jer sam vrlo ludo radio.”
11 And David rises in the morning, and the word of YHWH has been to Gad the prophet, seer of David, saying,
Kad je David ujutro ustao, već je Jahvina riječ bila došla proroku Gadu, Davidovu vidiocu:
12 “Go, and you have spoken to David, Thus said YHWH: I am lifting up three [choices] for you, choose one of them, and I do [it] to you.”
“Idi i kaži Davidu: Ovako govori Jahve: 'Troje stavljam preda te, izaberi jedno od toga da ti učinim!'”
13 And Gad comes to David, and declares [it] to him, and says to him, “Does seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or are you fleeing before your adversary [for] three months—and he is pursuing you? Or is there pestilence [for] three days in your land? Now, know and see what word I take back to Him sending me.”
Gad tako dođe Davidu i javi mu ovo: “Hoćeš li da dođu tri gladne godine na tvoju zemlju, ili da tri mjeseca bježiš pred svojim neprijateljem koji će te goniti, ili da bude tri dana kuga u tvojoj zemlji? Sada promisli i gledaj što da odgovorim onome koji me poslao!”
14 And David says to Gad, “I have great distress; please let us fall into the hand of YHWH, for His mercies [are] many, but do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
David odgovori Gadu: “Na velikoj sam muci! Ali neka padnemo u ruke Jahvine, jer je veliko njegovo milosrđe, a u ljudske ruke neka ne zapadnem!”
15 And YHWH gives a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the time appointed, and there dies of the people, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, seventy thousand men,
David, dakle, izabra kugu. Bilo je upravo vrijeme pšenične žetve. Jahve pusti kugu na Izraela od jutra pa do određenoga vremena; i pomor udari na narod i pomrije sedamdeset tisuća ljudi od Dana do Beer Šebe.
16 and the messenger puts forth his hand to Jerusalem to destroy it, and YHWH sighs concerning the calamity, and says to the messenger who is destroying among the people, “Enough, now, cease your hand”; and the messenger of YHWH was near the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Kad je anđeo pružio svoju ruku na Jeruzalem da ga uništi, sažali se Jahvi zbog toga zla, pa reče anđelu koji je ubijao narod: “Dosta je sada! Povuci svoju ruku!” A Jahvin je anđeo bio upravo kod gumna Araune Jebusejca.
17 And David speaks to YHWH when he sees the messenger who is striking among the people, and says, “Behold, I have sinned, indeed, I have done perversely; and these—the flock—what have they done? Please let Your hand be on me and on the house of my father.”
Kad David vidje anđela koji je ubijao narod, zavapi Jahvi: “Evo, ja sam sagriješio, ja sam učinio zlo! A oni, ovce, što su skrivili? Neka tvoja ruka padne na mene i na moju obitelj!”
18 And Gad comes to David on that day and says to him, “Go up, raise an altar to YHWH in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite”;
Istoga dana dođe Gad k Davidu i reče mu: “Idi i podigni Jahvi žrtvenik na gumnu Araune Jebusejca!”
19 and David goes up, according to the word of Gad, as YHWH commanded.
I ode David po Gadovoj riječi, kako mu je zapovjedio Jahve.
20 And Araunah looks, and sees the king and his servants passing over to him, and Araunah goes out and bows himself to the king [with] his face to the earth.
Kad Arauna pogleda, opazi kralja i njegove dvorane gdje idu prema njemu. Arauna iziđe i pokloni se kralju licem do zemlje.
21 And Araunah says, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” And David says, “To buy the threshing-floor from you, to build an altar to YHWH, and the plague is restrained from the people.”
Arauna upita: “Zašto je moj gospodar kralj došao svome sluzi?” A David odgovori: “Da kupi od tebe ovo gumno, da sagradi žrtvenik Jahvi, kako bi prestao pomor u narodu.”
22 And Araunah says to David, “Let my lord the king take [it] and cause that which is good in his eyes to ascend; see, [here are] the oxen for a burnt-offering, and the threshing instruments, and the instruments of the oxen, for wood”;
Arauna reče Davidu: “Neka ga uzme moj gospodar kralj i neka žrtvuje ono što je u njegovim očima dobro! Evo goveda za paljenicu, mlatilice, i volujske opreme za drvo!
23 Araunah has given the whole [as] a king to a king; and Araunah says to the king, “Your God YHWH accepts you.”
Sve to sluga moga gospodara kralja poklanja kralju!” Još reče Arauna kralju: “Jahve, Bog tvoj, neka ti bude milostiv!”
24 And the king says to Araunah, “No, for I surely buy from you for a price, and I do not cause burnt-offerings to ascend to my God YHWH for nothing”; and David buys the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver,
Ali kralj odgovori Arauni: “Ne, nego hoću da kupim od tebe i da platim; neću prinositi Jahvi, svome Bogu, paljenica koje su mi poklonjene.” I tako David kupi ono gumno i goveda za pedeset srebrnih šekela.
25 and David builds an altar to YHWH there, and causes burnt-offerings and peace-offerings to ascend, and YHWH accepts the plea for the land, and the plague is restrained from Israel.
Ondje David sagradi žrtvenik Jahvi i prinese paljenice i pričesnice. Tada se Jahve smilova zemlji i presta pomor u Izraelu.
