< 2 Samuel 24 >

1 Yahweh was angry with the Israeli people again, so he incited David to cause trouble for them. He said to David, “Send [some men] to count the people of Israel and Judah.”
А Господ се опет разгневи на Израиља, и надражи Давида на њих говорећи: Хајде изброј Израиља и Јуду.
2 So the king said to Joab, the commander of his army, “Go [with your officers] through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan [city in the far north] to Beersheba [town in the far south], and count the people, in order that I may know how many people [there are who are able to be soldiers in the army].”
И рече цар Јоаву, војводи свом: Прођи по свим племенима Израиљевим од Дана до Вирсавеје, и избројте народ, да знам колико има народа.
3 But Joab replied to the king, “Your Majesty, I wish/desire that Yahweh our God will cause there to be 100 times as many people [in Israel] as there are now, and I wish/desire that you would see that happen [before you die]. But why do you want us to do this?”
А Јоав рече цару: Нека дода Господ Бог твој к народу колико га је сад још сто пута толико, и да цар господар мој види својим очима; али зашто цар господар мој хоће то?
4 But the king commanded Joab and his officers to do it. So they left the king and went out to count the people of Israel.
Али реч царева би јача од Јоава и војвода; и отиде Јоав и војводе од цара да преброје народ Израиљев.
5 They crossed the Jordan [River] and set up their tents south of Aroer [town], in the middle of the valley, in the territory [that was given to the tribe] of Gad. From there they went [north] to Jazer [city]
И прешавши преко Јордана стадоше у логор у Ароиру, с десне стране града, који је на средини потока Гадовог, и код Јазира.
6 Then they went [north] to [the] Gilead [region] and to Kadesh [city], in the land where the Heth people-group lived. Then they went to Dan [city in the far north of Israel], and then further west, to Sidon [city near the Mediterranean Sea].
Потом дођоше у Галад, и у доњу земљу Одсију, а одатле отидоше у Дан-Јан и у околину сидонску.
7 Then they went [south] to Tyre, a city with high walls around it, and to all the cities where the Hiv and Canaan people-groups live. Then they went [east] to Beersheba, in the southern part of Judah.
Потом дођоше до града Тира и у све градове јевејске и хананејске; и отидоше на јужну страну Јудину у Вирсавеју.
8 After nine months and 20 days, when they had finished going throughout the land [and counting the people], they returned to Jerusalem.
И обишавши сву земљу вратише се у Јерусалим после девет месеци и двадесет дана.
9 They reported to the king the number of people that they had counted. There were 800,000 men in Israel and 500,000 men in Judah who were able to become soldiers in the army [MTY].
И Јоав даде цару број преписаног народа; и беше од Израиља осам стотина хиљада људи за војску који махаху мачем, а људи од Јуде пет стотина хиљада.
10 But after David’s men had counted the people, David regretted [IDM] that he had told them to do that. [One night] he said to Yahweh, “I have committed a very big sin. Please forgive me, because what I have done is very foolish.”
Тада Давида такну у срце, пошто преброја народ, и рече Давид Господу: Сагреших веома што то урадих. Али, Господе, узми безакоње слуге свог, јер веома лудо радих.
11 When David got up the next morning, Yahweh gave a message to the prophet Gad. He said to him,
А кад Давид уста ујутру, дође реч Господња Гаду, пророку који беше Давиду виделац, и рече:
12 “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 и кажи Давиду: Овако вели Господ: Троје ти дајем, изабери једно да ти учиним.
13 So Gad went to David and told him [what Yahweh had said]. He said to David, “You can choose whether there will be three years of famine in your land, or three months of your [army] running away from your enemies, or three days when there will be a (plague/very severe illness) in your land. You think about it and choose [which one you want, and tell me], and I will return to Yahweh and tell him what your answer is.”
И дође Гад к Давиду, и каза му говорећи: Хоћеш ли ти да буде седам гладних година у земљи твојој, или да бежиш три месеца од непријатеља својих и они да те гоне, или да буде три дана помор у твојој земљи? Сад промисли и гледај шта ћу одговорити Ономе који ме је послао.
14 David said to Gad, “All those are very terrible things for me to choose between! 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 западнемо Господу у руке, јер је милост Његова велика; а људима да не западнем у руке.
15 So Yahweh sent a plague on the Israeli people. It started that morning and did not stop until the time that he had chosen/set. All over the land, from Dan to Beersheba, there were 70,000 Israelis who died [because of the plague].
И тако пусти Господ помор на Израиља од јутра до одређеног времена, и помре народа од Дана до Вирсавеје седамдесет хиљада људи.
16 When [Yahweh’s] angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy [the people by this plague], Yahweh changed his mind about punishing [any more] people. He said to the angel who was killing them [with the plague], “Stop what you are doing [IDM]! That is enough!” [When he said that, ] the angel was standing at the ground where Araunah, from the Jebus people-group, threshed grain.
А кад анђео пружи руку своју на Јерусалим да га убија, сажали се Господу са зла, и рече анђелу који убијаше народ: Доста, спусти руку. А анђео Господњи беше код гумна Орне Јевусејина.
17 When David saw the angel who was causing the people to become sick and die, he said to Yahweh, “Truly, I am the one who has committed the sin. I have done a very wicked thing, but these people are [as innocent as] sheep [MET]. They have certainly not [RHQ] done anything [that is wrong]. So you should punish [IDM] me and my family, [not these people]!”
А Давид кад виде анђела где бије народ, проговори и рече Господу: Ево, ја сам згрешио, ја сам зло учинио, а те овце шта су учиниле? Нека се рука Твоја обрати на мене и на дом оца мог.
18 That day Gad came to David and said to him, “Go up to the place where Araunah threshes grain, and build an altar to [worship] Yahweh there.”
Потом опет дође Гад к Давиду исти дан, и рече му: Иди, начини Господу олтар на гумну Орне Јевусејина.
19 So David did what Gad told him to do, which was what Yahweh had commanded, [and he went up there].
И отиде Давид по речи Гадовој, како Господ заповеди.
20 When Araunah looked down and saw the king and his officials coming toward him, he prostrated himself on the ground in front of the king, with his face touching the ground.
Тада Орна обазревши се угледа цара и слуге његове где иду к њему; и отиде Орна и поклони се цару лицем до земље,
21 Araunah said, “Your Majesty, why have you come to me?” David replied, “[I have come] to buy this ground where you thresh grain, in order to build an altar to Yahweh [and offer sacrifices on it], in order that he will stop the plague.”
И рече: Што је дошао цар господар мој слузи свом? А Давид рече: Да купим од тебе то гумно, да начиним на њему олтар Господу да би престао помор у народу.
22 Araunah replied to David, “Your Majesty, offer to Yahweh whatever you wish/want. Here, take my oxen to use for the offering that will be completely burned on the altar. And here, take their yokes and the boards [that I use] for the threshing, [and use them] for the wood that you will burn.
А Орна рече Давиду: Нека узме цар господар мој и принесе на жртву шта му је воља; ево волова за жртву паљеницу, и кола и јармова волујских за дрва.
23 I, Araunah, am giving all this to you, the king.” Then he said, “I desire/hope that Yahweh our God will accept your offering.”
Све то даваше цару Орна као цар, и рече Орна цару: Господ Бог твој нека те милостиво прими.
24 But the king said to Araunah, “No, [I will not take these things as a gift.] I will pay you for it. I will not take sacrifices that have cost me nothing, and offer them to Yahweh to be completely burned on the altar.” So he paid 50 pieces of silver to Araunah for the oxen and the ground.
А цар рече Орни: Не; него ћу купити од тебе по цени, нити ћу принети Господу Богу свом жртву паљеницу поклоњену. И тако купи Давид гумно и волове за педесет сикала сребра.
25 Then David built an altar to Yahweh, and he offered [the oxen] to be completely burned on the altar, and he also offered sacrifices to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. Then, Yahweh answered David’s prayers, and he caused the plague in Israel to end.
И онде начини Давид олтар Господу, и принесе жртве паљенице и жртве захвалне. И Господ се умилостиви земљи, и преста помор у Израиљу.
