Pirmā Laiku 21
1 Un sātans stāvēja pret Israēli un skubināja Dāvidu, skaitīt Israēli.
Satan interfered to cause trouble for Israel. He provoked David to do a census of Israel.
2 Un Dāvids sacīja uz Joabu un uz tiem ļaužu virsniekiem: ejat, skaitait Israēli no Bēršebas līdz Danai un atnesiet man to skaitu, ka es to zinu.
So David told Joab and the army commanders, “Go and count the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan. Then report back to me so I can have a total number.”
3 Tad Joabs sacīja: lai Tas Kungs pie šiem ļaudīm, kā tie nu ir, simtreiz vairāk pieliek, - vai tie visi, mans kungs un ķēniņ, nav mana kunga kalpi? Kāpēc mans kungs to meklē? Kāpēc tam būs notikt Israēlim par noziegumu?
But Joab replied, “May the Lord multiply his people a hundred times over. Your Majesty, aren't they all your subjects? Why do you want to do this? Why should you make Israel guilty?”
4 Bet ķēniņa vārds bija stiprāks nekā Joaba. Tāpēc Joabs izgāja un pārstaigāja visu Israēli un nāca atkal uz Jeruzālemi.
But the king was adamant so Joab left and went all over Israel. Eventually he returned to Jerusalem,
5 Un Joabs Dāvidam deva to skaitīto ļaužu skaitu, un viss Israēls bija vienpadsmit reiz simts tūkstoš vīri, kas zobena vilcēji, un no Jūda bija četrsimt un septiņdesmit tūkstoš vīri, kas zobena vilcēji.
and he gave David the number of people censused. In Israel there were 1,100,000 fighting men who could handle a sword, and 470,000 in Judah.
6 Bet Levi un Benjaminu, tos viņu starpā neskaitīja, jo ķēniņa vārds Joabam bija negantība.
However, Joab did not include Levi and Benjamin in the census total, because he disagreed with what the king had ordered.
7 Un šī lieta Dievam nepatika, un viņš sita Israēli.
The Lord considered the census a bad thing to do and he punished Israel for it.
8 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Dievu: es esmu ļoti grēkojis, ka to esmu darījis, bet lūdzams, atņem Sava kalpa noziegumu, jo es esmu ļoti aplam darījis.
Then David said to God, “I have committed a terrible sin by doing this. Please take away the guilt of your servant, for I have been very stupid.”
9 Un Tas Kungs runāja uz Gadu, Dāvida redzētāju, un sacīja:
The Lord told Gad, David's seer,
10 Ej un runā uz Dāvidu un saki: tā saka Tas Kungs: trīs lietas Es tev lieku priekšā, izvēlies vienu no tām, ko lai Es tev daru.
“Go and tell David that this is what the Lord says: ‘I'm giving you three options. Choose one of them, and that's what I'll do to you.’”
11 Un Gads nāca pie Dāvida un uz to sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs: izvēlies!
So Gad went and told David, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Make your choice:
12 Vai trīs gadus bada laiku, vai trīs mēnešus bēgt no saviem pretiniekiem un no savu ienaidnieku zobena, kas tevi aizņem? - jeb vai trīs dienas Tā Kunga zobenu, tas ir mēri iekš zemes un Tā Kunga maitātāju eņģeli visās Israēla robežās? Tad lūko nu, ko lai es Tam atsaku, kas Mani sūtījis.
either three years of famine; or three months of devastation, running from the swords of your enemies; or three days of the Lord's sword—in other words three days of plague in the land, with an angel of the Lord causing destruction throughout the whole of Israel.’ Now you have to decide how I should reply to the one who sent me.”
13 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Gadu: man ir ļoti bail; lai es jel krītu Tā Kunga rokā, jo Viņa žēlastība ir ļoti liela, bet lai nekrītu cilvēku rokās.
David replied to Gad, “This is an awful situation for me! Please, let the Lord decide my punishment, for he is so merciful. Don't let me be punished by people.”
14 Tad Dievs sūtīja mēri pār Israēli, un no Israēla krita septiņdesmit tūkstoš vīri.
So the Lord a plague on Israel, and 70,000 Israelites died.
15 Un Dievs sūtīja eņģeli uz Jeruzālemi, to samaitāt; un kad viņš to samaitāja, tad Tas Kungs uzlūkoja un Viņam bija žēl par to ļaunumu. Un Viņš sacīja uz to eņģeli, to samaitātāju: ir gan, atrauj savu roku. Un Tā Kunga eņģelis stāvēja pie Jebusieša Arnana klona.
God also sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem. But just as the angel was about to destroy it, the Lord saw it, and he relented from causing such a disaster. He told the destroying angel, “That's enough. You can stop now.” Right then the angel of the Lord was standing beside the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 Kad nu Dāvids savas acis pacēla, tad viņš redzēja Tā Kunga eņģeli starp debess un zemes stāvam, un tam bija izvilkts zobens rokā, kas bija izstiepts pār Jeruzālemi. Tad Dāvids un tie vecaji, ar maisiem apģērbušies, metās uz savu vaigu,
When David looked up and saw the angel of the Lord standing between earth and heaven, holding his drawn sword extended over Jerusalem, David and the elders, wearing sackcloth, fell on their faces.
17 Un Dāvids sacīja uz Dievu: vai es tas neesmu, kas pavēlējis, tos ļaudis skaitīt? Es, es esmu grēkojis un ļaunu darījis, - bet šās avis, ko tās darījušas? Ak Kungs, mans Dievs! Lai jel Tava roka ir pret mani un pret mana tēva namu, bet ne pret Taviem ļaudīm par mocību!
David said to God, “Wasn't it me who ordered the census of the people? I'm the one who has sinned and acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Lord my God, please punish me and my family, but don't punish your people with this plague.”
18 Un Tā Kunga eņģelis sacīja uz Gadu, lai saka Dāvidam, ka Dāvids lai ietu, Tam Kungam uztaisīt altāri Jebusieša Arnana klonā.
Then the angel of the Lord told Gad to tell David to go and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 Tā Dāvids nogāja pēc Gada vārda, ko tas Tā Kunga Vārdā bija runājis.
So David went and did what Gad had told him in the name of the Lord.
20 Kad nu Arnans pagriezās, tad viņš redzēja to eņģeli, un viņa četri dēli, kas pie viņa bija, paslēpās, bet Arnans kūla kviešus.
Ornan was busy threshing wheat. He turned around and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him went and hid.
21 Un Dāvids nāca pie Arnana, un Arnans skatījās un redzēja Dāvidu un nāca no tā klona un metās Dāvida priekšā uz savu vaigu pie zemes.
When David arrived, Ornan looked out and saw David. He left the threshing floor and bowed down before David with his face to the ground.
22 Un Dāvids sacīja uz Arnanu: dod man tā klona vietu, ka es tur Tam Kungam taisu altāri; dod man to par pilnu naudu, lai šī mocība mitās no tiem ļaudīm.
David said to Ornan, “Please let me have the threshing floor. I'll buy it at its full price. Then I can build an altar to the Lord here so that the plague on the people may be stopped.”
23 Tad Arnans sacīja uz Dāvidu: Ņem to, un dari, mans kungs un ķēniņ, kā tev patīk, redzi, es tos vēršus dodu par dedzināmiem upuriem un šos kuļamos ratus malkai un šos kviešus par ēdamu upuri, - visu to es dodu.
“Take it, and Your Majesty can do whatever you want with it,” Ornan told David. “You can have the oxen for burnt offerings, the threshing boards for firewood, and the wheat for a grain offering. I'll give it all to you.”
24 Bet ķēniņš Dāvids sacīja uz Arnanu: nē, bet es to gribu pirkt par pilnu naudu; jo es negribu ņemt priekš Tā Kunga, kas tev pieder, un upurēt dedzināmo upuri par velti.
“No, I insist, I will pay the full price,” replied King David “I won't take for the Lord what is yours or present burnt offerings that didn't cost me anything.”
25 Tā Dāvids Arnanam par to vietu deva sešsimt sēķeļus zelta.
So David paid Ornan six hundred shekels of gold for the place.
26 Un tur Dāvids Tam Kungam uztaisīja altāri un upurēja dedzināmos upurus un pateicības upurus. Un kad tas To Kungu piesauca, tad viņš tam atbildēja caur uguni no debesīm uz dedzināmo upuru altāri.
David built an altar to the Lord there and presented burnt offerings and friendship offerings. He called on the Lord in prayer, and the Lord answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.
27 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz to eņģeli, lai tas savu zobenu bāž savā makstī.
Then the Lord told the angel to put his sword back into its sheath.
28 Tanī laikā, kad Dāvids redzēja, ka Tas Kungs viņam bija atbildējis uz Arnana, tā Jebusieša, klona, tad viņš tur upurēja.
When David saw that the Lord had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there.
29 Jo Tā Kunga dzīvoklis, ko Mozus tuksnesī bija taisījis, un tas dedzināmo upuru altāris to laiku bija Gibeonas kalnā.
At that time the tent of the Lord that Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at the high place in Gibeon.
30 Bet Dāvids tur pie tā nevarēja noiet, Dievu meklēt, tā viņš bija iztrūcinājies no Tā Kunga eņģeļa zobena.
But David did not want to go there to ask God's will, because he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
