2 Samuel 24
1 Now again the anger of YHWH burned against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, "Go, number Israel and Judah."
E voltou o furor do SENHOR a acender-se contra Israel, e incitou a Davi contra eles a que dissesse: Vai, conta a Israel e a Judá.
2 So the king said to Joab and the captains of the army, who were with him, "Now go back and forth through all Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba and number the people, that I may know the sum of the people."
E disse o rei a Joabe, general do exército que tinha consigo: Rodeia todas as tribos de Israel, desde Dã até Berseba, e contai o povo, para que eu saiba o número da gente.
3 But Joab said to the king, "Now may YHWH your God add to the people, however many they may be, one hundred times; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king delight in this thing?"
E Joabe respondeu ao rei: Acrescente o SENHOR teu Deus ao povo cem vezes tanto quanto são, e que o veja meu senhor ao rei; mas para que quer isto meu senhor o rei?
4 However, the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the army. Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king, to number the children of Israel.
Porém a palavra do rei pôde mais que Joabe, e que os capitães do exército. Saiu, pois, Joabe, com os capitães do exército, de diante do rei, para contar o povo de Israel.
5 They crossed over the Jordan and began from Aroer, and from the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad; then on to Jazer.
E passando o Jordão assentaram em Aroer, à direita da cidade que está em meio do ribeiro de Gade e junto a Jazer.
6 Then they came to Gilead, and to the region of the Hethites, to Kedesh; and they came to Dan. Then they skirted Sidon,
Depois vieram a Gileade, e à terra baixa de Hodsi: e dali vieram a Dã-Jaã e ao redor de Sídon.
7 and came to the stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites; and they went out to the south of Judah, at Beersheba.
E vieram logo à fortaleza de Tiro, e a todas as cidades dos heveus e dos cananeus; e saíram ao sul de Judá, a Berseba.
8 So when they had gone back and forth through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
E depois que andaram toda a terra, voltaram a Jerusalém ao fim de nove meses e vinte dias.
9 Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
E Joabe deu a conta do número do povo ao rei; e foram os de Israel oitocentos mil homens fortes que tiravam espada; e dos de Judá quinhentos mil homens.
10 David's heart struck him after that he had numbered the people. David said to YHWH, "I have sinned greatly in that which I have done. But now, YHWH, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly."
E depois que Davi contou o povo, sentiu-se atormentado em seu coração; e disse Davi ao SENHOR: Eu pequei gravemente por haver feito isto; mas agora, ó SENHOR, rogo-te que tires o pecado de teu servo, porque eu agi muito loucamente.
11 When David rose up in the morning, the word of YHWH came to Gad, David's seer, saying,
E pela manhã, quando Davi se levantou, veio a palavra do SENHOR a Gade profeta, vidente de Davi, dizendo:
12 "Go and speak to David, 'Thus says YHWH, "I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you."'
Vai, e dize a Davi: Assim disse o SENHOR: Três coisas te ofereço: tu te escolherás uma delas, a qual eu faça.
13 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, "Shall three years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days' pestilence in your land? Now answer, and consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me."
Veio, pois, Gade a Davi, e notificou-lhe, e disse-lhe: Queres que te venham sete anos de fome em tua terra? Ou que fujas três meses diante de teus inimigos, e que eles te persigam? Ou que três dias haja pestilência em tua terra? Pensa agora, e olha o que responderei ao que me enviou.
14 David said to Gad, "All of them are difficult for me. Only let me fall now into the hand of YHWH; for his mercies are great. Let me not fall into the hand of man."
Então Davi disse a Gade: Em grande angústia estou: rogo que caia na mão do SENHOR, porque suas misericórdias são muitas, e que não caia eu em mãos de homens.
15 So YHWH sent a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the appointed time; and the destruction began among the people. And there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.
E enviou o SENHOR pestilência a Israel desde a manhã até o tempo assinalado: e morreram do povo, desde Dã até Berseba, setenta mil homens.
16 When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, YHWH relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, "It is enough. Now stay your hand." The angel of YHWH was standing near the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. And 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 down on their faces.
E quando o anjo estendeu sua mão sobre Jerusalém para destruí-la, o SENHOR se arrependeu daquele mal, e disse ao anjo que destruía o povo: Basta agora; detém tua mão. Então o anjo do SENHOR estava junto à eira de Araúna, o jebuseu.
17 Then David spoke to YHWH when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, "Look, I have sinned, and I, the shepherd, have done great evil. But these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me, and against my father's house."
E Davi disse ao SENHOR, quando viu ao anjo que feria ao povo: Eu pequei, eu fiz a maldade: que fizeram estas ovelhas? Rogo-te que tua mão se torne contra mim, e contra a casa de meu pai.
18 And Gad went to David that day and said, "Go up, build an altar to YHWH on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."
E Gade veio a Davi aquele dia, e disse-lhe: Sobe, e faze um altar ao SENHOR na era de Araúna jebuseu.
19 So David went up and did what Gad had said, as YHWH commanded.
E subiu Davi, conforme ao dito de Gade, que o SENHOR lhe havia mandado.
20 And Araunah looked out and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him, so Araunah went out and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
E olhando Araúna, viu ao rei e a seus servos que passavam a ele. Saindo então Araúna, inclinou-se diante do rei até terra.
21 And Araunah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" And David said, "To buy this threshing floor from you to build an altar to YHWH, so that the plague may be held back from the people."
E Araúna disse: Por que vem meu senhor o rei a seu servo? E Davi respondeu: Para comprar de ti a eira, para edificar altar ao SENHOR, a fim de que a mortandade cesse do povo.
22 But Araunah said to David, "Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Look, the oxen for the burnt offering, and the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood.
E Araúna disse a Davi: Tome e sacrifique meu senhor o rei o que bem lhe parecer; eis aqui bois para o holocausto; e trilhos e outros equipamentos de bois para lenha:
23 All these Araunah gives to the king." And Araunah said to the king, "May YHWH your God accept you."
Tudo isto, ó rei, Araúna dá ao rei. Logo disse Araúna ao rei: o SENHOR teu Deus se agrade de ti.
24 But the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to YHWH my God which cost me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
E o rei disse a Araúna: Não, mas por preço o comprarei de ti; porque não oferecerei ao SENHOR meu Deus holocaustos gastando nada. Então Davi comprou a eira e os bois por cinquenta siclos de prata.
25 Then David built an altar to YHWH there and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So YHWH responded to the plea for the land, and the plague was withdrawn from Israel.
E ali Davi edificou um altar ao SENHOR, e sacrificou holocaustos e ofertas pacíficas; e o SENHOR se aplacou com a terra, e cessou a praga de Israel.
