2 Samuel 24
1 Again the LORD’s anger burnt against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, “Go, count Israel and Judah.”
E a ira do Senhor se tornou a accender contra Israel: e incitou a David contra elles, dizendo: Vae, numera a Israel e a Judah.
2 The king said to Joab the captain of the army, who was with him, “Now go back and forth through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the sum of the people.”
Disse pois o rei a Joab, chefe do exercito, o qual tinha comsigo: Agora rodeia por todas as tribus de Israel, desde Dan até Berseba, e numera o povo: para que eu saiba o numero do povo.
3 Joab said to the king, “Now may the LORD 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?”
Então disse Joab ao rei: Ora, multiplique o Senhor teu Deus a este povo cem vezes tanto quanto agora é, e os olhos do rei meu senhor o vejam: mas porque deseja o rei meu senhor este negocio?
4 Notwithstanding, 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 count the people of Israel.
Porém a palavra do rei prevaleceu contra Joab, e contra os chefes do exercito: Joab pois saiu com os chefes do exercito diante da face do rei, a numerar o povo de Israel.
5 They passed over the Jordan and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and to Jazer;
E passaram o Jordão: e pozeram-se em campo junto a Aroer, á direita da cidade que está no meio do ribeiro de Gad, e junto a Jazer.
6 then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; and they came to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon,
E vieram a Gilead, e á terra baixa de Hodsi: tambem vieram até Dan-jaan, e ao redor de Zidon.
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 á fortaleza de Tyro, e a todas as cidades dos heveos e dos cananeos: e sairam para a banda do sul de Judah, 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.
Assim rodeiaram por toda a terra: e ao cabo de nove mezes e vinte dias voltaram a Jerusalem.
9 Joab gave up the sum of the counting 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 Joab deu ao rei a somma do numero do povo contado: e havia em Israel oitocentos mil homens de guerra, que arrancavam espada; e os homens de Judah eram quinhentos mil homens.
10 David’s heart struck him after he had counted the people. David said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in that which I have done. But now, the LORD, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.”
E o coração feriu a David, depois de haver numerado o povo: e disse David ao Senhor: Muito pequei no que fiz: porém agora, ó Senhor, peço-te que traspasses a iniquidade do teu servo; porque tenho feito mui loucamente.
11 When David rose up in the morning, the LORD’s word came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,
Levantando-se pois David pela manhã, veiu a palavra do Senhor ao propheta Gad, vidente de David, dizendo:
12 “Go and speak to David, ‘The LORD says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”
Vae, e dize a David: Assim diz o Senhor: Tres coisas te offereço; escolhe uma d'ellas, para que t'a faça.
13 So Gad came to David, and told him, saying, “Shall seven 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.”
Veiu pois Gad a David, e fez-lh'o saber; e disse-lhe: Queres que sete annos de fome te venham á tua terra; ou que por tres mezes fujas diante de teus inimigos, e elles te persigam; ou que por tres dias haja peste na tua terra? Delibera agora, e vê que resposta hei de tornar ao que me enviou.
14 David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let us fall now into the LORD’s hand, for his mercies are great. Let me not fall into man’s hand.”
Então disse David a Gad: Estou em grande angustia: porém caiamos nas mãos do Senhor, porque muitas são as suas misericordias; mas nas mãos dos homens não caia eu.
15 So the LORD sent a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the appointed time; and seventy thousand men died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba.
Então enviou o Senhor a peste a Israel, desde pela manhã até ao tempo determinado: e desde Dan até Berseba, morreram setenta mil homens do povo.
16 When the angel stretched out his hand towards Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” The LORD’s angel was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Estendendo pois o anjo a sua mão sobre Jerusalem, para a destruir, o Senhor se arrependeu d'aquelle mal; e disse ao anjo que fazia a destruição entre o povo: Basta, agora retira a tua mão. E o anjo do Senhor estava junto á eira d'Arauna, o jebuseo.
17 David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, “Behold, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me, and against my father’s house.”
E, vendo David ao anjo que feria o povo, fallou ao Senhor, e disse: Eis que eu sou o que pequei, e eu o que iniquamente obrei; porém estas ovelhas que fizeram? seja pois a tua mão contra mim, e contra a casa de meu pae.
18 Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up, build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
E Gad veiu n'aquelle mesmo dia a David; e disse-lhe: Sobe, levanta ao Senhor um altar na eira de Arauna, o jebuseo.
19 David went up according to the saying of Gad, as the LORD commanded.
David subiu conforme á palavra de Gad, como o Senhor lhe tinha ordenado.
20 Araunah looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on towards him. Then Araunah went out and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
E olhou Arauna, e viu que vinham para elle o rei e os seus servos: saiu pois Arauna, e inclinou-se diante do rei com o rosto em terra.
21 Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” David said, “To buy your threshing floor, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”
E disse Arauna: Porque vem o rei meu Senhor ao seu servo? E disse David: Para comprar de ti esta eira, afim de edificar n'ella um altar ao Senhor, para que este castigo cesse de sobre o povo.
22 Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Behold, the cattle for the burnt offering, and the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood.
Então disse Arauna a David: Tome, e offereça o rei meu senhor o que bem parecer aos seus olhos; eis ahi bois para o holocausto, e os trilhos, e o apparelho dos bois para a lenha.
23 All this, O king, does Araunah give to the king.” Araunah said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.”
Tudo isto deu Arauna ao rei: disse mais Arauna ao rei: O Senhor teu Deus tome prazer em ti.
24 The king said to Araunah, “No, but I will most certainly buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
Porém o rei disse a Arauna: Não, porém por certo preço t'o comprarei, porque não offerecerei ao Senhor meu Deus holocaustos que me não custem nada. Assim David comprou a eira e os bois por cincoenta siclos de prata
25 David built an altar to the LORD there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was removed from Israel.
E edificou ali David ao Senhor um altar, e offereceu holocaustos, e offertas pacificas. Assim o Senhor se aplacou com a terra, e cessou aquelle castigo de sobre Israel.
