Otra Samuela 24

1 Un Tā Kunga dusmas atkal iedegās pret Israēli, un viņš Dāvidu skubināja pret tiem sacīdams: ej, skaiti Israēli un Jūdu.

Now again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, "Go, number Israel and Judah."

2 Un ķēniņš sacīja uz Joabu, karapulku virsnieku, kas pie viņa bija: ej jel apkārt pa visām Israēla ciltīm, no Dana līdz Bēršebai, un skaitāt tos ļaudis, lai es zinu to ļaužu skaitu. Tad Joabs sacīja uz ķēniņu:

So the king said to Joab and the captains of the army, who were with him, "Now go back and forth through all Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba and number the people, that I may know the sum of the people."

3 Lai Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, pie šiem ļaudīm simtkārt vairāk pieliek, nekā viņu ir, ka mana kunga, tā ķēniņa, acis to redz; kāpēc tad manam kungam, tam ķēniņam, šīs lietas gribās?

But 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?"

4 Bet ķēniņa vārds palika spēkā pret Joabu un tiem karavirsniekiem. Tā Joabs ar tiem karavirsniekiem izgāja no ķēniņa, Israēla ļaudis skaitīt.

However, 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 number the children of Israel.

5 Un tie gāja pār Jardāni un apmetās pie Aroēra, pa labo roku tai pilsētai, kas Gada ielejas vidū, un pie Jaēzeres.

They crossed over the Jordan and began from Aroer, and from the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad; then on to Jazer.

6 Pēc tie nāca uz Gileādu un uz to ielejas zemi Tahtim Hodši, tie nāca arī uz DanJaānu un apkārt uz Sidonu.

Then they came to Gilead, and to the region of the Hethites, to Kedesh; and they came to Dan. Then they skirted Sidon,

7 Un tie nāca uz to stipro Tirus pilsētu un uz visām Hiviešu un Kanaāniešu pilsētām, un tie iznāca ārā Jūdam pret dienasvidu uz Bēršebu.

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.

8 Tā tie gāja apkārt pa visu zemi un pārnāca pēc deviņiem mēnešiem un divdesmit dienām uz Jeruzālemi.

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.

9 Un Joabs deva ķēniņam to uzrakstīto ļaužu skaitu, un iekš Israēla bija astoņsimt tūkstoš karavīru, kas bija zobena vilcēji, un Jūda vīru bija piecsimt tūkstoši.

Joab gave up the sum of the numbering 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.

10 Tad Dāvidam sirds trīcēja, kad tos ļaudis bija skaitījis. Un Dāvids sacīja uz To Kungu: es esmu ļoti grēkojis ar to, ko esmu darījis, un nu Kungs, atņem lūdzams sava kalpa noziegumu, jo es esmu ļoti aplam darījis.

David's heart struck him after that he had numbered the people. David said to the LORD, "I have sinned greatly in that which I have done. But now, LORD, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly."

11 Kad nu Dāvids rītā cēlās, tad Tā Kunga vārds notika uz pravieti Gadu, Dāvida redzētāju, tā:

When David rose up in the morning, the word of the LORD came to Gad, David's seer, saying,

12 Ej un runā uz Dāvidu: tā saka Tas Kungs: trīs lietas es tev lieku priekšā, izvēlies vienu no tām, ko lai es tev daru.

"Go and speak to David, 'Thus says the LORD, "I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you."'

13 Un Gads nāca pie Dāvida un teica viņam un uz to sacīja: vai tu gribi septiņus gadus bada laiku savā zemē, jeb vai tu gribi trīs mēnešus bēgt no saviem ienaidniekiem, kas tevi vajās, jeb vai tu gribi, ka trīs dienas tavā zemē nāk mēris? Ņem nu vērā un redzi, ko lai es tam atsaku, kas mani sūtījis.

So Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, "Shall three 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."

14 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Gadu: man ir ļoti bail. Es kritīšu labāk Tā Kunga rokā, jo Viņa žēlastība ir liela, bet cilvēku rokā es negribu krist.

David said to Gad, "All of them are difficult for me. Only let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great. Let me not fall into the hand of man."

15 Tad Tas Kungs lika mērim nākt iekš Israēla, no rīta līdz tam nospriestam laikam, un ļaužu nomira no Dana līdz Bēršebai septiņdesmit tūkstoši.

So the LORD sent a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the appointed time; and the destruction began among the people. And there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.

16 Un kad tas eņģelis savu roku pār Jeruzālemi izstiepa, lai to nomaitātu, tad Tam Kungam tā ļaunuma bija žēl, un Viņš sacīja uz to eņģeli, kas tos ļaudis nonāvēja: ir gan, atrauj savu roku. Un Tā Kunga eņģelis stāvēja pie Aravnus, tā Jebusieša, klona.

When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, "It is enough. Now stay your hand." The angel of the LORD was standing near the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. And David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and the sky, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell down on their faces.

17 Un Dāvids sacīja uz To Kungu, to eņģeli redzēdams, kas tos ļaudis sita: redzi, es esmu grēkojis un noziedzies, bet ko šīs avis darījušas? Lai Tava roka ir pret mani un pret mana tēva namu.

Then David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, "Look, I have sinned, and I, the shepherd, have done great evil. But these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me, and against my father's house."

18 Tad Gads nāca tai dienā pie Dāvida un uz to sacīja: ej uz augšu un uztaisi Tam Kungam altāri uz Aravnus, tā Jebusieša, klona.

And Gad went to David that day and said, "Go up, build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."

19 Tad Dāvids gāja pēc Gada vārda, kā Tas Kungs bija pavēlējis.

So David went up and did what Gad had said, as the LORD commanded.

20 Un Aravnus skatījās un redzēja pie sevis nākam ķēniņu un viņa kalpus, un Aravnus izgāja un nometās ķēniņa priekšā uz savu vaigu pie zemes.

And Araunah looked out and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him, so Araunah went out and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

21 Un Aravnus sacīja: kāpēc mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, nāk pie sava kalpa? Un Dāvids sacīja: šo klonu no tevis pirkt, ka es Tam Kungam taisu altāri, lai šī mocība no ļaudīm atstājās.

And Araunah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" And David said, "To buy this threshing floor from you to build an altar to the LORD, so that the plague may be held back from the people."

22 Tad Aravnus sacīja uz Dāvidu: lai mans kungs, tas ķēniņš, ņem un upurē, kā viņam patīk. Redzi, še ir vērši par dedzināmo upuri un kuļami rati un vēršu jūgi malkai.

But Araunah said to David, "Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Look, the oxen for the burnt offering, and the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood.

23 Šo visu, ķēniņ, Aravnus dod ķēniņam. Un Aravnus sacīja uz ķēniņu: lai Tam Kungam, tavam Dievam, ir labs prāts uz tevi.

All these Araunah gives to the king." And Araunah said to the king, "May the LORD your God accept you."

24 Bet ķēniņš sacīja uz Aravnu: nē, bet es pirkdams to tev nopirkšu, jo es negribu Tam Kungam, savam Dievam, dedzināmos upurus velti upurēt. Tā Dāvids to klonu un tos vēršus nopirka par piecdesmit sudraba sēķeļiem.

But the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will 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.

25 Un Dāvids uztaisīja tur Tam Kungam altāri un upurēja dedzināmos upurus un pateicības upurus. Tā Tas Kungs tai zemei tapa salīdzināts, un tā mocība atstājās no Israēla.

Then David built an altar to the LORD there and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD responded to the plea for the land, and the plague was withdrawn from Israel.
