1 Chronicles 21
1 And an adversary up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
| وَوَقَفَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ ضِدَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَغْوَى دَاوُدَ لِيُحْصِيَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ |
2 And David said to Joab and to the leaders of the people, "Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them."
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِيُوآبَ وَلِرُؤَسَاءِ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «ٱذْهَبُوا عِدُّوا إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ إِلَى دَانَ، وَأْتُوا إِلَيَّ فَأَعْلَمَ عَدَدَهُمْ». | ٢ |
3 Joab said, "May YHWH make his people a hundred times as many as they are. But, my lord the king, aren't they all my lord's servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?"
| فَقَالَ يُوآبُ: «لِيَزِدِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى شَعْبِهِ أَمْثَالَهُمْ مِئَةَ ضِعْفٍ. أَلَيْسُوا جَمِيعًا يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكَ عَبِيدًا لِسَيِّدِي؟ لِمَاذَا يَطْلُبُ هَذَا سَيِّدِي؟ لِمَاذَا يَكُونُ سَبَبَ إِثْمٍ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ؟» | ٣ |
4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
| فَٱشْتَدَّ كَلَامُ ٱلْمَلِكِ عَلَى يُوآبَ. فَخَرَجَ يُوآبُ وَطَافَ فِي كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٤ |
5 Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew sword: and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who drew sword.
| فَدَفَعَ يُوآبُ جُمْلَةَ عَدَدِ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى دَاوُدَ، فَكَانَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَلْفَ أَلْفٍ وَمِئَةَ أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ مُسْتَلِّي ٱلسَّيْفِ، وَيَهُوذَا أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ مُسْتَلِّي ٱلسَّيْفِ، | ٥ |
6 But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
| وَأَمَّا لَاوِي وَبَنْيَامِينُ فَلَمْ يَعُدَّهُمْ مَعَهُمْ لِأَنَّ كَلَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ كَانَ مَكْرُوهًا لَدَى يُوآبَ. | ٦ |
7 God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel.
| وَقَبُحَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱللهِ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرُ فَضَرَبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٧ |
8 David said to God, "I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly."
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلهِ: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ جِدًّا حَيْثُ عَمِلْتُ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ. وَٱلْآنَ أَزِلْ إِثْمَ عَبْدِكَ لِأَنِّي سَفِهْتُ جِدًّا». | ٨ |
9 YHWH spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,
| فَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ جَادَ رَائِيَ دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: | ٩ |
10 "Go and speak to David, saying, 'Thus says YHWH, "I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you."'"
| «ٱذْهَبْ وَكَلِّمْ دَاوُدَ قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ثَلَاثَةً أَنَا عَارِضٌ عَلَيْكَ فَٱخْتَرْ لِنَفْسِكَ وَاحِدًا مِنْهَا فَأَفْعَلَهُ بِكَ». | ١٠ |
11 So Gad came to David, and said to him, "Thus says YHWH, 'Take your choice:
| فَجَاءَ جَادُ إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: ٱقْبَلْ لِنَفْسِكَ: | ١١ |
12 either three years of famine; or three months of fleeing from before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days the sword of YHWH, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of YHWH destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.'"
| إِمَّا ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ جُوعٌ، أَوْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ هَلَاكٌ أَمَامَ مُضَايِقِيكَ وَسَيْفُ أَعْدَائِكَ يُدْرِكُكَ، أَوْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ يَكُونُ فِيهَا سَيْفُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَوَبَأٌ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَمَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَعْثُو فِي كُلِّ تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَٱنْظُرِ ٱلْآنَ مَاذَا أَرُدُّ جَوَابًا لِمُرْسِلِي». | ١٢ |
13 David said to Gad, "I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into the hand of YHWH; for his mercies are very great. Let me not fall into the hand of man."
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِجَادٍ: «قَدْ ضَاقَ بِيَ ٱلْأَمْرُ جِدًّا. دَعْنِي أَسْقُطْ فِي يَدِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَنَّ مَرَاحِمَهُ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَلَا أَسْقُطُ فِي يَدِ إِنْسَانٍ». | ١٣ |
14 So YHWH sent a pestilence on Israel; and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
| فَجَعَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَبَأً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَسَقَطَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ. | ١٤ |
15 God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, YHWH saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, "It is enough; now stay your hand." The angel of YHWH was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
| وَأَرْسَلَ ٱللهُ مَلَاكًا عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِإِهْلَاكِهَا، وَفِيمَا هُوَ يُهْلِكُ رَأَى ٱلرَّبُّ فَنَدِمَ عَلَى ٱلشَّرِّ، وَقَالَ لِلْمَلَاكِ ٱلْمُهْلِكِ: «كَفَى ٱلْآنَ، رُدَّ يَدَكَ». وَكَانَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَاقِفًا عِنْدَ بَيْدَرِ أُرْنَانَ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّ. | ١٥ |
16 David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of YHWH standing between earth and the sky, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.
| وَرَفَعَ دَاوُدُ عَيْنَيْهِ فَرَأَى مَلَاكَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَاقِفًا بَيْنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَسَيْفُهُ مَسْلُولٌ بِيَدِهِ وَمَمْدُودٌ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. فَسَقَطَ دَاوُدُ وَٱلشُّيُوخُ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ مُكْتَسِينَ بِٱلْمُسُوحِ. | ١٦ |
17 David said to God, "Isn't it I who commanded the people to be numbered? It is even I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, YHWH my God, be against me, and against my father's house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued."
| وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلهِ: «أَلَسْتُ أَنَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَ بِإِحْصَاءِ ٱلشَّعْبِ؟ وَأَنَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْطَأَ وَأَسَاءَ، وَأَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْخِرَافُ فَمَاذَا عَمِلُوا؟ فَأَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي لِتَكُنْ يَدُكَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي لَا عَلَى شَعْبِكَ لِضَرْبِهِمْ». | ١٧ |
18 Then the angel of YHWH commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up, and raise an altar to YHWH in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
| فَكَلَّمَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ جَادَ أَنْ يَقُولَ لِدَاوُدَ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ دَاوُدُ لِيُقِيمَ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ فِي بَيْدَرِ أُرْنَانَ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّ. | ١٨ |
19 David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of YHWH.
| فَصَعِدَ دَاوُدُ حَسَبَ كَلَامِ جَادَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٩ |
20 Ornan turned back, and saw the king, and his four sons who were with him hiding themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
| فَٱلْتَفَتَ أُرْنَانُ فَرَأَى ٱلْمَلَاكَ. وَبَنُوهُ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ مَعَهُ ٱخْتَبَأُوا، وَكَانَ أُرْنَانُ يَدْرُسُ حِنْطَةً. | ٢٠ |
21 As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
| وَجَاءَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى أُرْنَانَ. وَتَطَلَّعَ أُرْنَانُ فَرَأَى دَاوُدَ، وَخَرَجَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْدَرِ وَسَجَدَ لِدَاوُدَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢١ |
22 Then David said to Ornan, "Give me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build thereon an altar to YHWH. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people."
| فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِأُرْنَانَ: «أَعْطِنِي مَكَانَ ٱلْبَيْدَرِ فَأَبْنِيَ فِيهِ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ. بِفِضَّةٍ كَامِلَةٍ أَعْطِنِي إِيَّاهُ، فَتَكُفَّ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ عَنِ ٱلشَّعْبِ». | ٢٢ |
23 Ornan said to David, "Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Look, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all."
| فَقَالَ أُرْنَانُ لِدَاوُدَ: «خُذْهُ لِنَفْسِكَ، وَلْيَفْعَلْ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكُ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ. اُنْظُرْ. قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُ ٱلْبَقَرَ لِلْمُحْرَقَةِ، وَٱلنَّوَارِجَ لِلْوَقُودِ، وَٱلْحِنْطَةَ لِلتَّقْدِمَةِ. ٱلْجَمِيعَ أَعْطَيْتُ». | ٢٣ |
24 King David said to Ornan, "No; but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for YHWH, nor offer a burnt offering without cost."
| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ لِأُرْنَانَ: «لَا! بَلْ شِرَاءً أَشْتَرِيهِ بِفِضَّةٍ كَامِلَةٍ، لِأَنِّي لَا آخُذُ مَا لَكَ لِلرَّبِّ فَأُصْعِدَ مُحْرَقَةً مَجَّانِيَّةً». | ٢٤ |
25 So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
| وَدَفَعَ دَاوُدُ لِأُرْنَانَ عَنِ ٱلْمَكَانِ ذَهَبًا وَزْنُهُ سِتُّ مِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ. | ٢٥ |
26 David built an altar to YHWH there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on YHWH; and he answered him from heaven by fire on the altar of burnt offering, and it consumed the burnt offering.
| وَبَنَى دَاوُدُ هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ، وَأَصْعَدَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ، وَدَعَا ٱلرَّبَّ فَأَجَابَهُ بِنَارٍ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ. | ٢٦ |
27 YHWH commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.
| وَأَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمَلَاكَ فَرَدَّ سَيْفَهُ إِلَى غِمْدِهِ. | ٢٧ |
28 At that time, when David saw that YHWH had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
| فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ لَمَّا رَأَى دَاوُدُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَجَابَهُ فِي بَيْدَرِ أُرْنَانَ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّ ذَبَحَ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٨ |
29 For the tabernacle of YHWH, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
| وَمَسْكَنُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ مُوسَى فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَمَذْبَحُ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ كَانَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ فِي ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَةِ فِي جِبْعُونَ. | ٢٩ |
30 But David couldn't go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of YHWH.
| وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ دَاوُدُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى أَمَامِهِ لِيَسْأَلَ ٱللهَ لِأَنَّهُ خَافَ مِنْ جِهَةِ سَيْفِ مَلَاكِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٣٠ |
