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].
Али уста сотона на Израиља и наврати Давида да изброји Израиља.
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.”
И рече Давид Јоаву и кнезовима народним: Идите, избројите синове Израиљеве од Вирсавеје дори до Дана, па ми јавите да знам колико их има.
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.”
Али Јоав рече: Нека дода Господ народу свом колико га је сада још сто пута толико; нису ли, царе господару мој, сви слуге господару мом? Зашто тражи то господар мој? Зашто да буде на грех Израиљу?
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,
Али реч царева надјача Јоава. И тако отиде Јоав и обиђе свега Израиља, па се врати у Јерусалим.
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.
И даде Јоав број преписаног народа Давиду; и беше свега народа Израиљевог хиљада хиљада и сто хиљада људи који махаху мачем, а народа Јудиног четири стотине и седамдесет хиљада људи који махаху мачем.
6 Joab did not count the men from the tribes of Levi and Benjamin, because he was disgusted with what the king had commanded.
А племена Левијевог и Венијаминова не изброја с њима јер мрска беше Јоаву заповест царева.
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.
А не беше мила Богу та ствар; зато удари Израиља.
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.”
И Давид рече Богу: Сагреших веома што то урадих; али узми безакоње слуге свог, јер веома лудо радих.
9 Then Yahweh said to Gad, David’s prophet,
А Господ рече Гаду видеоцу Давидовом говорећи:
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.”
Иди кажи Давиду и реци: Овако вели Господ: Троје ти дајем, изабери једно да ти учиним.
11 So Gad went to David and said to him, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You can choose one of these [punishments]:
И дође Гад к Давиду и рече му: Тако вели Господ, бирај:
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.”
Или глад за три године, или три месеца да бежиш од непријатеља својих и мач непријатеља твојих да те стиже, или три дана мач Господњи и помор да буде у земљи и анђео Господњи да убија по свим крајевима Израиљевим. Сада дакле гледај шта ћу одговорити оном који ме је послао.
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].”
А Давид рече Гаду: У тескоби сам љутој; али нека западнем Господу у руке, јер је веома велика милост Његова; а људима да не западнем у руке.
14 So Yahweh sent a plague on [the people of] Israel, and 70,000 of them died because of it.
И тако пусти Господ помор на Израиља, те паде Израиља седамдесет хиљада људи.
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]!”
И посла Господ анђела у Јерусалим да га убија; и кад убијаше, погледа Господ и сажали му се са зла; и рече анђелу који убијаше: Доста, спусти руку своју. А анђео Господњи стајаше код гумна Орнана Јевусејина,
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.
А Давид подиже очи своје и виде анђела Господњег где стоји између земље и неба, а у руци му го мач, којим беше замахнуо на Јерусалим; и паде Давид и старешине ничице, обучени у кострет.
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].”
И рече Давид Богу: Нисам ли ја заповедио да се изброји народ? Ја сам дакле згрешио и зло учинио; а те овце шта су учиниле? Господе Боже мој, нека се рука Твоја обрати на ме и на дом оца мог; али не на тај народ да га потре.
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.
Тада анђео Господњи рече Гаду да каже Давиду да изиђе горе и начини олтар Господу на гумну Орнана Јевусејина.
19 So [after Gad told] David, [he] obeyed the message that Yahweh [MTY] had given to Gad, [and he went up there].
И изиђе Давид по речи Гадовој, коју му рече у име Господње.
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.
А Орнан окренувши се угледа анђела, и сакри се са четири сина своја, јер Орнан вршаше пшеницу.
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.
У том дође Давид до Орнана; и погледавши Орнан кад виде Давида изиђе из гумна и поклони се Давиду лицем до земље.
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.”
Тада рече Давид Орнану: Дај ми то гумно да начиним на њему олтар Господу; за новце колико вреди дај ми га, да би престао помор у народу.
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.”
А Орнан рече Давиду: Узми и нека чини господар мој цар шта му је драго; ево дајем и волове за жртве паљенице, и кола за дрва, и пшеницу за дар; све то дајем.
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.”
А цар Давид рече Орнану: Не, него ћу купити за новце шта вреди, јер нећу да принесем Господу шта је твоје ни да принесем жртву паљеницу поклоњену.
25 So David paid Araunah 600 pieces of gold for the whole area.
И даде Давид Орнану за оно место на меру шест стотина сикала злата.
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.
И онде начини Давид олтар Господу, и принесе жртве паљенице и жртве захвалне; и призва Господа, и услиши га спустивши огањ с неба на олтар жртве паљенице.
27 Then Yahweh spoke to the angel, and told him to put his sword back into its sheath. [So the angel did that].
И заповеди Господ анђелу, те врати мач свој у корице.
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.
У оно време видевши Давид да га Господ услиши на гумну Орнана Јевусејина, приношаше жртве онде.
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].
А шатор Господњи, који начини Мојсије у пустињи, и олтар за жртве паљенице беше у то време на висини у Гаваону.
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.
И Давид не може ићи к њему да тражи Бога, јер се уплаши од мача анђела Господњег.
