2 Samuel 24
1 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.
AND again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
2 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.
For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.
3 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?
And Joab said unto the king, Now the Lord thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
4 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.
Notwithstanding the king’s word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
5 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.
And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that lieth in the midst of the river of Gad, and toward Jazer:
6 E vieram a Gilead, e á terra baixa de Hodsi: tambem vieram até Dan-jaan, e ao redor de Zidon.
Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and about to Zidon,
7 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.
And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, even to Beer-sheba.
8 Assim rodeiaram por toda a terra: e ao cabo de nove mezes e vinte dias voltaram a Jerusalem.
So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
9 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.
And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
10 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.
And David’s heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the Lord, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O Lord, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
11 Levantando-se pois David pela manhã, veiu a palavra do Senhor ao propheta Gad, vidente de David, dizendo:
For when David was up in the morning, the word of the Lord came unto the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,
12 Vae, e dize a David: Assim diz o Senhor: Tres coisas te offereço; escolhe uma d'ellas, para que t'a faça.
Go and say unto David, Thus saith the Lord, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
13 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.
So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days’ pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
14 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.
And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the Lord; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
15 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.
So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.
16 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.
And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.
17 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.
And David spake unto the Lord when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father’s house.
18 E Gad veiu n'aquelle mesmo dia a David; e disse-lhe: Sobe, levanta ao Senhor um altar na eira de Arauna, o jebuseo.
And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the Lord in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.
19 David subiu conforme á palavra de Gad, como o Senhor lhe tinha ordenado.
And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the Lord commanded.
20 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.
And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.
21 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.
And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the Lord, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
22 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.
And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.
23 Tudo isto deu Arauna ao rei: disse mais Arauna ao rei: O Senhor teu Deus tome prazer em ti.
All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The Lord thy God accept thee.
24 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
And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25 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.
And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
