Pirmā Laiku 21
1 Un sātans stāvēja pret Israēli un skubināja Dāvidu, skaitīt Israēli.
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].
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 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.”
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, “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.”
4 Bet ķēniņa vārds bija stiprāks nekā Joaba. Tāpēc Joabs izgāja un pārstaigāja visu Israēli un nāca atkal uz Jeruzālemi.
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,
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 they reported to David that there were 1,100,000 men in Israel who could be in the army, and 470,000 in Judah.
6 Bet Levi un Benjaminu, tos viņu starpā neskaitīja, jo ķēniņa vārds Joabam bija negantība.
Joab did not count the men from the tribes of Levi and Benjamin, because he was disgusted with what the king had commanded.
7 Un šī lieta Dievam nepatika, un viņš sita Israēli.
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.
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 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.”
9 Un Tas Kungs runāja uz Gadu, Dāvida redzētāju, un sacīja:
Then Yahweh said to Gad, David’s prophet,
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 this to David: I am allowing you to choose one of three things [to punish you]. I will do whichever one you choose.”
11 Un Gads nāca pie Dāvida un uz to sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs: izvēlies!
So Gad went to David and said to him, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You can choose one of these [punishments]:
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.
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.”
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, “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].”
14 Tad Dievs sūtīja mēri pār Israēli, un no Israēla krita septiņdesmit tūkstoš vīri.
So Yahweh sent a plague on [the people of] Israel, and 70,000 of them died because of it.
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.
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]!”
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,
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.
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, “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].”
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 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.
19 Tā Dāvids nogāja pēc Gada vārda, ko tas Tā Kunga Vārdā bija runājis.
So [after Gad told] David, [he] obeyed the message that Yahweh [MTY] had given to Gad, [and he went up there].
20 Kad nu Arnans pagriezās, tad viņš redzēja to eņģeli, un viņa četri dēli, kas pie viņa bija, paslēpās, bet Arnans kūla kviešus.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.”
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.
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.”
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.
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.”
25 Tā Dāvids Arnanam par to vietu deva sešsimt sēķeļus zelta.
So David paid Araunah 600 pieces of gold for the whole area.
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 [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.
27 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz to eņģeli, lai tas savu zobenu bāž savā makstī.
Then Yahweh spoke to the angel, and told him to put his sword back into its sheath. [So the angel did that].
28 Tanī laikā, kad Dāvids redzēja, ka Tas Kungs viņam bija atbildējis uz Arnana, tā Jebusieša, klona, tad viņš tur upurēja.
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.
29 Jo Tā Kunga dzīvoklis, ko Mozus tuksnesī bija taisījis, un tas dedzināmo upuru altāris to laiku bija Gibeonas kalnā.
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].
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 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.
