1 Chronicles 21
1 Satan decided to cause the Israeli people to have trouble. So he incited David to find out how many men in Israel [were able to be in the army].
Mas Satanás se levantou contra Israel, e incitou a Davi a que contasse a Israel.
2 So David commanded Joab and the other army commanders, “Count all the men in Israel [who are able to be in the army]. Start at Beersheba [town in the south] and go all the way to Dan [city in the north]. Then come back and report to me, in order that I may know how many men there are.”
E disse Davi a Joabe e a os príncipes do povo: Ide, contai a Israel desde Berseba até Dã, e trazei-me o número deles para que eu o saiba.
3 But Joab replied, “Your majesty, even if Yahweh allowed us to have 100 times as many soldiers as we have now, you would [RHQ] still rule all of them. So why do you want us to do this? You will surely [RHQ] cause [all the people of] Israel to be guilty of sinning.”
E disse Joabe: Acrescente o SENHOR a seu povo cem vezes outros tantos. Rei senhor meu, não são todos estes servos de meu senhor? Para que procura meu senhor isto, que será pernicioso a Israel?
4 But David would not change his mind. So Joab [and his soldiers] went everywhere in Israel and in Judah, and counted the people. Then they returned to Jerusalem,
Mas o mandamento do rei pode mais que Joabe. Saiu por tanto Joabe, e foi por todo Israel; e voltou a Jerusalém, e deu a conta do número do povo a Davi.
5 and they reported to David that there were 1,100,000 men in Israel who could be in the army, and 470,000 in Judah.
E achou-se em todo Israel que tiravam espada, onze vezes cem mil; e de Judá quatrocentos e setenta mil homens que tiravam espada.
6 Joab did not count the men from the tribes of Levi and Benjamin, because he was disgusted with what the king had commanded.
Entre estes não foram contados os levitas, nem os filhos de Benjamim, porque Joabe abominava o mandamento do rei.
7 David’s command to count the people caused God to become angry, so he [told David that he had decided to] punish [the people of] Israel.
Assim desagradou este negócio a os olhos de Deus, e feriu a Israel.
8 Then David prayed, saying, “Yahweh, what I did was very foolish. I have sinned greatly by what I have done. So now I plead with you, please forgive me.”
E disse Davi a Deus: Pequei gravemente em fazer isto: rogo-te que faças passar a iniquidade de teu servo, porque eu ei feito muito loucamente.
9 Then Yahweh said to Gad, David’s prophet,
E falou o SENHOR a Gade, vidente de Davi, dizendo:
10 “Go and tell this to David: I am allowing you to choose one of three things [to punish you]. I will do whichever one you choose.”
Vai, e fala a Davi, e dize-lhe: Assim disse o SENHOR: Três coisas te proponho; escolhe de elas uma que eu faça contigo.
11 So Gad went to David and said to him, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You can choose one of these [punishments]:
E vindo Gade a Davi, disse-lhe: Assim disse o SENHOR:
12 three years of famine [in Israel], or three months during which your armies will run away from their enemies [who will attack them with] swords, or three days during which I will send my angel to cause many people in the country to die because of a (plague/very serious illness).’ So, you must decide what I will say to answer [Yahweh, ] the one who sent me.”
Escolhe-te, ou três anos de fome; ou ser por três meses defeito diante de teus inimigos, e que a espada de teus adversários te alcance; ou por três dias a espada do SENHOR e pestilência na terra, e que o anjo do SENHOR destrua em todo o termo de Israel. Olha, pois, o que responderá ao que me enviou.
13 David replied to Gad, “I am very distressed. But allow Yahweh to punish [MTY] me, because he is very merciful. Do not allow humans to punish me, [because they will not be merciful].”
Então Davi disse a Gade: Estou em grande angústia: rogo que eu caia na mão do SENHOR; porque suas misericórdias são muitas em extremo, e que não caia eu em mãos de homens.
14 So Yahweh sent a plague on [the people of] Israel, and 70,000 of them died because of it.
Assim o SENHOR deu pestilência em Israel, e caíram de Israel setenta mil homens.
15 And God sent an angel to destroy the people in Jerusalem by the plague. But when the angel was standing at the ground where Araunah, from the Jebus people-group, threshed grain, Yahweh saw all the suffering that the people had endured, and he was grieved. So he said to the angel, “Stop what you are doing [IDM]! That is enough [IDM]!”
E enviou o SENHOR o anjo a Jerusalém para destruí-la: mas estando ele destruindo, olhou o SENHOR, e arrependeu-se daquele mal,
16 David looked up and saw the angel whom Yahweh had sent, standing between the sky and the ground. The angel had a sword in his hand that was pointed toward Jerusalem. Then David and the elders [of the city], who were wearing clothes made of rough sackcloth, prostrated themselves on the ground.
E levantando Davi seus olhos, viu ao anjo do SENHOR, que estava entre o céu e a terra, tendo uma espada nua em sua mão, estendida contra Jerusalém. Então Davi e os anciãos se prostraram sobre seus rostos, cobertos de sacos.
17 David said to God, “I am [RHQ] the one who ordered the men who could be in the army to be counted. I am the one who has sinned and done what is very wrong, but these people are [as innocent as] [MET] sheep. They have certainly not [RHQ] done anything [that is wrong]. So Yahweh my God, punish [IDM] me and my family, but do not allow this plague to continue to [cause] your people [to become sick and die].”
E disse Davi a Deus: Não sou eu o que fez contar o povo? Eu mesmo sou o que pequei, e certamente fiz mal; mas estas ovelhas, que fizeram? Ó SENHOR, Deus meu, seja agora tua mão contra mim, e contra a casa de meu pai, e não haja praga em teu povo.
18 Then the angel who was sent by Yahweh told Gad to go up to the place where Araunah threshed grain and tell David to build an altar to [worship] Yahweh there.
E o anjo do SENHOR ordenou a Gade que dissesse a Davi, que subisse e construísse um altar a o SENHOR na era de Ornã jebuseu.
19 So [after Gad told] David, [he] obeyed the message that Yahweh [MTY] had given to Gad, [and he went up there].
Então Davi subiu, conforme a palavra de Gade que lhe havia dito em nome do SENHOR.
20 While Araunah was threshing some wheat, he turned and saw the angel. His four sons who were with him [also saw the angel, and they] hid themselves.
E voltando-se Ornã viu o anjo; pelo que se esconderam quatro filhos seus que com ele estavam. E Ornã trilhava o trigo.
21 Then David approached. When Araunah saw him, he left the place where he was threshing grain and prostrated himself, with his face touching the ground.
E vindo Davi a Ornã, olhou este, e viu a Davi: e saindo da eira, prostrou-se em terra a Davi.
22 David said to him, “Please sell me your threshing place in order that I can build an altar here to [worship] Yahweh. Then he will stop this plague. I will pay the full price.”
Então disse Davi a Ornã: Dá-me este lugar da eira, em que edifique um altar a o SENHOR, e dá-o a mim por seu devido preço, para que cesse a praga do povo.
23 Araunah replied, “Take it! Your majesty, do whatever you want to. I will give you the oxen [that thresh the grain] for an offering to be completely burned [on the altar]. And I will give you the threshing boards to use as wood [on the altar], and I will give you grain for a grain offering. I will give all those things to you.”
E Ornã respondeu a Davi: Toma-o para ti, e faça meu senhor o rei o que bem lhe parecer; e ainda os bois darei para o holocausto, e os trilhos para lenha, e trigo para a oferta de alimentos; eu dou tudo.
24 But the king said to Araunah, “No, [I will not take these things as a gift]. I will pay you the full price for it. I will not take things that belong to you, things that have cost me nothing and offer them as sacrifices to Yahweh to be completely burned on the altar.”
Então o rei Davi disse a Ornã: Não, mas sim que efetivamente a comprarei por seu justo preço: porque não tomarei para o SENHOR o que é teu, nem sacrificarei holocausto que nada me custe.
25 So David paid Araunah 600 pieces of gold for the whole area.
E deu Davi a Ornã pelo lugar seiscentos siclos de ouro por peso.
26 David built an altar to [worship] Yahweh there, and he offered sacrifices to be completely burned [on the altar] and sacrifices to restore fellowship [with Yahweh]. David prayed to Yahweh, and Yahweh answered by sending a fire from heaven [to burn up the offerings] on the altar.
E edificou ali Davi um altar a o SENHOR, em o que ofereceu holocaustos e sacrifícios pacíficos, e invocou a o SENHOR, o qual lhe respondeu por fogo dos céus em o altar do holocausto.
27 Then Yahweh spoke to the angel, and told him to put his sword back into its sheath. [So the angel did that].
E como o SENHOR falou ao anjo, ele voltou sua espada à bainha.
28 And when David saw that Yahweh had answered him there at the place where Araunah threshed grain [and had ended the plague], he offered sacrifices there.
Então vendo Davi que o SENHOR lhe havia ouvido na eira de Ornã jebuseu, sacrificou ali.
29 Yahweh’s Sacred Tent, which Moses had commanded to be set up in the desert, and the altar for burning sacrifices completely, were at that time on a hill at Gibeon [city].
E o tabernáculo do SENHOR que Moisés havia feito no deserto, e o altar do holocausto, estavam então no alto de Gibeão:
30 But David did not want to go there to request God to tell him what he wanted [him to do], because he was afraid that the angel sent from Yahweh [might strike him with] his sword.
Mas Davi não pode ir ali a consultar a Deus, porque estava espantado por causa da espada do anjo do SENHOR.
