< 1 Crônicas 21 >
1 Então Satanás se levantou contra Israel, e incitou David a numerar a Israel.
And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
2 E disse David a Joab e aos maiorais do povo: Ide, numerai a Israel, desde Berseba até Dan; e trazei-me a conta, para que saiba o número deles.
And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan, and bring me word that I may know the sum of them.
3 Então disse Joab: O Senhor acrescente ao seu povo cem vezes tanto como é; porventura, ó rei meu senhor, não são todos servos de meu senhor? Porque procura isto o meu senhor? Porque seria causa de delito para com Israel.
And Joab said, Jehovah make his people a hundred times as many as they are. But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?
4 Porém a palavra do rei prevaleceu contra Joab; pelo que saiu Joab, e passou por todo o Israel; então voltou para Jerusalém.
Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
5 E Joab deu a David a soma do número do povo: e era todo o Israel um milhão e cem mil homens, dos que arrancavam espada; e de Judá quatrocentos e setenta mil homens, dos que arrancavam espada.
And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to David. And all those of Israel were a million and a hundred thousand men who drew a sword. And Judah was four hundred seventy thousand men who drew a sword.
6 Porém os de Levi e Benjamin não contou entre eles, porque a palavra do rei foi abominável a Joab.
But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
7 E este negócio também pareceu mal aos olhos de Deus: pelo que feriu a Israel.
And God was displeased with this thing, therefore he smote Israel.
8 Então disse David a Deus: Gravemente pequei em fazer este negócio; porém agora sê servido tirar a iniquidade de teu servo, porque obrei mui loucamente.
And David said to God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now, put away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done very foolishly.
9 Falou pois o Senhor a Gad, o vidente de David, dizendo:
And Jehovah spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,
10 Vai, e fala a David, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: três coisas te proponho: escolhe uma delas, para que eu t'a faça.
Go and speak to David, saying, Thus says Jehovah, I offer thee three things. Choose thee one of them, that I may do it to thee.
11 E Gad veio a David, e lhe disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Escolhe para ti,
So Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, Take which thou will:
12 Ou três anos de fome, ou que três meses te consumas diante de teus adversários, e a espada de teus inimigos te alcance, ou que três dias a espada do Senhor, isto é, a peste na terra, e o anjo do Senhor destruam todos os termos de Israel: vê pois agora que resposta hei de levar a quem me enviou.
either three years of famine, or three months to be consumed before thy foes while the sword of thine enemies overtakes thee, or else three days the sword of Jehovah, even pestilence in the land, and the agent of Jehovah destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.
13 Então disse David a Gad: Estou em grande angústia; caia eu pois nas mãos do Senhor, porque são muitíssimas as suas misericórdias; mas que eu não caia nas mãos dos homens.
And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait. Let me fall, I pray, into the hand of Jehovah, for his mercies are very great, and let me not fall into the hand of man.
14 Mandou pois o Senhor a peste a Israel: e cairam de Israel setenta mil homens.
So Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel, and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
15 E o Senhor mandou um anjo a Jerusalém para a destruir; e, destruindo-a ele, o Senhor o viu, e se arrependeu daquele mal, e disse ao anjo destruidor: Basta, agora retira a tua mão. E o anjo do Senhor estava junto à eira de Ornan, jebuseu.
And God sent an agent to Jerusalem to destroy it. And as he was about to destroy, Jehovah beheld, and he relented of the evil, and said to the destroying agent, It is enough. Now halt thy hand. And the agent of Jehovah was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 E, levantando David os seus olhos, viu o anjo do Senhor, que estava entre a terra e o céu, com a sua espada desembainhada na sua mão estendida contra Jerusalém: então David e os anciãos, cobertos de sacos, se prostraram sobre os seus rostos.
And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the agent of Jehovah standing between earth and heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
17 E disse David a Deus: Não sou eu o que disse que se contasse o povo? E eu mesmo sou o que pequei, e fiz muito mal; mas estas ovelhas que fizeram? Ah! Senhor, meu Deus, seja a tua mão contra mim, e contra a casa de meu pai, e não para castigo de teu povo.
And David said to God, Is it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? Even I it is who have sinned and done very badly. But these sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, O Jehovah my God, be against me, and against my father's house, but not against thy people, that they should be plagued.
18 Então o anjo do Senhor disse a Gad que dissesse a David que subisse David para levantar um altar ao Senhor na eira d'Ornan, jebuseu.
Then the agent of Jehovah commanded Gad to say to David that David should go up, and rear an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 Subiu pois David, conforme a palavra de Gad, que falara em nome do Senhor.
And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of Jehovah.
20 E, virando-se Ornan, viu o anjo, e se esconderam com ele seus quatro filhos: e Ornan estava trilhando o trigo.
And Ornan turned back, and saw the agent, and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
21 E David veio a Ornan: e olhou Ornan, e viu a David, e saiu da eira, e se prostrou perante David com o rosto em terra.
And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
22 E disse David a Ornan: Dá-me este lugar da eira, para edificar nele um altar ao Senhor; dá-mo pelo seu valor, para que cesse este castigo sobre o povo.
Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar to Jehovah. For the full price thou shall give it me, that the plague may be stopped from the people.
23 Então disse Ornan a David: Toma-a para ti, e faça o rei meu Senhor dela o que parecer bem aos seus olhos: eis que dou os bois para holocaustos, e os trilhos para lenha, e o trigo para oferta de manjares: tudo dou.
And Ornan said to David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Lo, I give thee the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all.
24 E disse o rei David a Ornan: Não, antes pelo seu valor a quero comprar: porque não tomarei o que é teu, para o Senhor; para que não ofereça holocausto sem custo.
And king David said to Ornan, No, but I will truly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is thine for Jehovah, nor offer a burnt offering without cost.
25 E David deu a Ornan por aquele lugar o peso de seiscentos siclos de ouro.
So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
26 Então David edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, e ofereceu nele holocaustos e sacrifícios pacíficos: e invocou o Senhor, o qual lhe respondeu com fogo do céu sobre o altar do holocausto.
And David built there an altar to Jehovah, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon Jehovah. And he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.
27 E o Senhor deu ordem ao anjo, e ele tornou a sua espada à bainha.
And Jehovah commanded the agent, and he put up his sword again into the sheath of it.
28 Vendo David, no mesmo tempo, que o Senhor lhe respondera na eira de Ornan, jebuseu, sacrificou ali.
At that time, when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29 Porque o tabernáculo do Senhor, que Moisés fizera no deserto, e o altar do holocausto, estavam naquele tempo no alto de Gibeon.
For the tabernacle of Jehovah, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
30 E não podia David ir perante ele buscar ao Senhor; porque estava aterrorisado por causa da espada do anjo do Senhor.
But David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid because of the sword of the agent of Jehovah.
