1 Chronicles 21
1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and incited David to number Israel.
Consurrexit autem Satan contra Israel: et concitavit David ut numeraret Israel.
2 And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know [it].
Dixitque David ad Ioab, et ad principes populi: Ite, et numerate Israel a Bersabee usque Dan: et afferte mihi numerum ut sciam.
3 And Joab answered, the LORD make his people a hundred times more numerous than they [are]: but, my lord the king, [are] they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?
Responditque Ioab: Augeat Dominus populum suum centuplum, quam sunt: nonne domine mi rex, omnes servi tui sunt? Quare hoc quærit dominus meus, quod in peccatum reputetur Israeli?
4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
Sed sermo regis magis prævaluit: egressusque est Ioab, et circuivit universum Israel; et reversus est Ierusalem:
5 And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. And all [they of] Israel were a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah [was] four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.
Deditque David numerum eorum, quos circuierat: et inventus est omnis numerus Israel, mille millia et centum millia virorum educentium gladium: de Iuda autem quadringenta septuaginta millia bellatorum.
6 But Levi and Benjamin he counted not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
Nam Levi, et Beniamin non numeravit: eo quod Ioab invitus exequeretur regis imperium.
7 And God was displeased with this thing, therefore he smote Israel.
Displicuit autem Deo quod iussum erat; et percussit Israel.
8 And David said to God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
Dixitque David ad Deum: Peccavi nimis ut hoc facerem: obsecro aufer iniquitatem servi tui, quia insipienter egi.
9 And the LORD spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,
Et locutus est Dominus ad Gad Videntem Davidis, dicens:
10 Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee [three] things; choose thee one of them, that I may do [it] to thee.
Vade, et loquere ad David, et dic ei: Hæc dicit Dominus: Trium tibi optionem do; unum, quod volueris, elige, et faciam tibi.
11 So Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee
Cumque venisset Gad ad David, dixit ei: Hæc dicit Dominus: Elige quod volueris:
12 Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while the sword of thy enemies overtaketh [thee]; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
aut tribus annis famem: aut tribus mensibus te fugere hostes tuos, et gladium eorum non posse evadere: aut tribus diebus gladium Domini, et pestilentiam versari in terra, et Angelum Domini interficere in universis finibus Israel: nunc igitur vide quid respondeam ei, qui misit me.
13 And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great [are] his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.
Et dixit David ad Gad: Ex omni parte me angustiæ premunt: sed melius mihi est, ut incidam in manus Domini, quia multæ sunt miserationes eius, quam in manus hominum.
14 So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
Misit ergo Dominus pestilentiam in Israel: et ceciderunt de Israel septuaginta millia virorum.
15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thy hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Misit quoque Angelum in Ierusalem, ut percuteret eam: cumque percuteretur, vidit Dominus, et misertus est super magnitudine mali: et imperavit Angelo, qui percutiebat: Sufficit, iam cesset manus tua. Porro Angelus Domini stabat iuxta aream Ornan Iebusæi.
16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders [of Israel], [who were] clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
Levansque David oculos suos, vidit Angelum Domini stantem inter cælum et terram, et evaginatum gladium in manu eius, et versum contra Ierusalem: et ceciderunt tam ipse, quam maiores natu vestiti ciliciis, proni in terram.
17 And David said to God, [Is it] not I [that] commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but [as for] these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be afflicted.
Dixitque David ad Deum: Nonne ego sum, qui iussi ut numeraretur populus? Ego, qui peccavi: ego, qui malum feci: iste grex quid commeruit? Domine Deus meus vertatur obsecro manus tua in me, et in domum patris mei: populus autem tuus non percutiatur.
18 Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and erect an altar to the LORD in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Angelus autem Domini præcepit Gad ut diceret Davidi ut ascenderet, extrueretque altare Domino Deo in area Ornan Iebusæi.
19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the LORD.
Ascendit ergo David iuxta sermonem Gad, quem locutus ei fuerat ex nomine Domini.
20 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
Porro Ornan cum suspexisset et vidisset Angelum, quattuorque filii eius cum eo, absconderunt se: nam eo tempore terebat in area triticum.
21 And 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.
Igitur cum veniret David ad Ornan, conspexit eum Ornan, et processit ei obviam de area, et adoravit eum pronus in terram.
22 Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of [this] threshing-floor, that I may build an altar in it to the LORD: thou shalt grant it to me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.
Dixitque ei David: Da mihi locum areæ tuæ, ut ædificem in ea altare Domino: ita ut quantum valet argenti accipias, et cesset plaga a populo.
23 And Ornan said to David, Take [it] to thee, and let my lord the king do [that which is] good in his eyes: lo, I give [thee] the oxen [also] for burnt-offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat-offering; I give it all.
Dixit autem Ornan ad David: Tolle, et faciat dominus meus rex quodcumque ei placet: sed et boves do in holocaustum, et tribulas in ligna, et triticum in sacrificium: Omnia libens præbebo.
24 And king David said to Ornan, No; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take [that] which [is] thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt-offerings without cost.
Dixitque ei rex David: Nequaquam ita fiet, sed argentum dabo quantum valet: neque enim tibi auferre debeo, et sic offerre Domino holocausta gratuita.
25 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
Dedit ergo David Ornan pro loco siclos auri iustissimi ponderis sexcentos.
26 And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.
Et ædificavit ibi altare Domino: obtulitque holocausta, et pacifica, et invocavit Dominum, et exaudivit eum in igne de cælo super altare holocausti.
27 And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.
Præcepitque Dominus Angelo: et convertit gladium suum in vaginam.
28 At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
Protinus ergo David, videns quod exaudisset eum Dominus in area Ornan Iebusæi, immolavit ibi victimas.
29 For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt-offering, [were] at that season in the high place at Gibeon.
Tabernaculum autem Domini, quod fecerat Moyses in deserto, et altare holocaustorum, ea tempestate erat in excelso Gabaon.
30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
Et non prævaluit David ire ad altare ut ibi obsecraret Deum: nimio enim fuerat in timore perterritus, videns gladium Angeli Domini.
