2 Samuel 24
1 E voltou o furor do SENHOR a acender-se contra Israel, e incitou a Davi contra eles a que dissesse: Vai, conta a Israel e a Judá.
And the fury of the Lord was again kindled against Israel, and he stirred up David among them, saying: “Go, number Israel and Judah.”
2 E disse o rei a Joabe, general do exército que tinha consigo: Rodeia todas as tribos de Israel, desde Dã até Berseba, e contai o povo, para que eu saiba o número da gente.
And the king said to Joab, the leader of his army, “Travel through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and number the people, so that I may know their number.”
3 E Joabe respondeu ao rei: Acrescente o SENHOR teu Deus ao povo cem vezes tanto quanto são, e que o veja meu senhor ao rei; mas para que quer isto meu senhor o rei?
And Joab said to the king: “May the Lord your God increase your people, who are already great in number, and may he again increase them, one hundredfold, in the sight of my lord the king. But what does my lord the king intend for himself by this kind of thing?”
4 Porém a palavra do rei pôde mais que Joabe, e que os capitães do exército. Saiu, pois, Joabe, com os capitães do exército, de diante do rei, para contar o povo de Israel.
But the words of the king prevailed over the words of Joab and the leaders of the army. And so Joab and the leaders of the military departed from the face of the king, so that they might number the people of Israel.
5 E passando o Jordão assentaram em Aroer, à direita da cidade que está em meio do ribeiro de Gade e junto a Jazer.
And when they had passed across the Jordan, they arrived at Aroer, to the right of the city, which is in the Valley of Gad.
6 Depois vieram a Gileade, e à terra baixa de Hodsi: e dali vieram a Dã-Jaã e ao redor de Sídon.
And they continued on through Jazer, into Gilead, and to the lower land of Hodsi. And they arrived in the woodlands of Dan. And going around beside Sidon,
7 E vieram logo à fortaleza de Tiro, e a todas as cidades dos heveus e dos cananeus; e saíram ao sul de Judá, a Berseba.
they passed near the walls of Tyre, and near all the land of the Hivite and the Canaanite. And they went into the south of Judah, to Beersheba.
8 E depois que andaram toda a terra, voltaram a Jerusalém ao fim de nove meses e vinte dias.
And having inspected the entire land, after nine months and twenty days, they were present in Jerusalem.
9 E Joabe deu a conta do número do povo ao rei; e foram os de Israel oitocentos mil homens fortes que tiravam espada; e dos de Judá quinhentos mil homens.
Then Joab gave the number of the description of the people to the king. And there were found of Israel eight hundred thousand able-bodied men, who might draw the sword; and of Judah, five hundred thousand fighting men.
10 E depois que Davi contou o povo, sentiu-se atormentado em seu coração; e disse Davi ao SENHOR: Eu pequei gravemente por haver feito isto; mas agora, ó SENHOR, rogo-te que tires o pecado de teu servo, porque eu agi muito loucamente.
Then the heart of David struck him, after the people were numbered. And David said to the Lord: “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. But I pray that you, O Lord, may take away the iniquity of your servant. For I have acted very foolishly.”
11 E pela manhã, quando Davi se levantou, veio a palavra do SENHOR a Gade profeta, vidente de Davi, dizendo:
And David rose up in the morning, and the word of the Lord went to Gad, the prophet and seer of David, saying:
12 Vai, e dize a Davi: Assim disse o SENHOR: Três coisas te ofereço: tu te escolherás uma delas, a qual eu faça.
“Go, and say to David: ‘Thus says the Lord: I present to you a choice of three things. Choose one of these, whichever you will, so that I may do it to you.’”
13 Veio, pois, Gade a Davi, e notificou-lhe, e disse-lhe: Queres que te venham sete anos de fome em tua terra? Ou que fujas três meses diante de teus inimigos, e que eles te persigam? Ou que três dias haja pestilência em tua terra? Pensa agora, e olha o que responderei ao que me enviou.
And when Gad had gone to David, he announced it to him, saying: “Either seven years of famine will come to you in your land; or you will flee for three months from your adversaries, and they will pursue you; or there will be a pestilence in your land for three days. Now then, deliberate, and see what word I may respond to him who sent me.”
14 Então Davi disse a Gade: Em grande angústia estou: rogo que caia na mão do SENHOR, porque suas misericórdias são muitas, e que não caia eu em mãos de homens.
Then David said to Gad: “I am in great anguish. But it is better that I should fall into the hands of the Lord (for his mercies are many) than into the hands of men.”
15 E enviou o SENHOR pestilência a Israel desde a manhã até o tempo assinalado: e morreram do povo, desde Dã até Berseba, setenta mil homens.
And the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel, from the morning until the appointed time. And there died of the people, from Dan to Beersheba, seventy thousand men.
16 E quando o anjo estendeu sua mão sobre Jerusalém para destruí-la, o SENHOR se arrependeu daquele mal, e disse ao anjo que destruía o povo: Basta agora; detém tua mão. Então o anjo do SENHOR estava junto à eira de Araúna, o jebuseu.
And when the Angel of the Lord had extended his hand over Jerusalem, so that he might destroy it, the Lord took pity on the affliction. And he said to the Angel who was striking the people: “It is enough. Hold back your hand now.” And the Angel of the Lord was beside the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
17 E Davi disse ao SENHOR, quando viu ao anjo que feria ao povo: Eu pequei, eu fiz a maldade: que fizeram estas ovelhas? Rogo-te que tua mão se torne contra mim, e contra a casa de meu pai.
And when he had seen the Angel cutting down the people, David said to the Lord: “I am the one who sinned. I have acted iniquitously. These ones who are the sheep, what have they done? I beg you that your hand may be turned against me and against my father’s house.”
18 E Gade veio a Davi aquele dia, e disse-lhe: Sobe, e faze um altar ao SENHOR na era de Araúna jebuseu.
Then Gad went to David on that day, and he said, “Ascend and construct an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
19 E subiu Davi, conforme ao dito de Gade, que o SENHOR lhe havia mandado.
And David ascended in accord with the word of Gad, which the Lord had commanded to him.
20 E olhando Araúna, viu ao rei e a seus servos que passavam a ele. Saindo então Araúna, inclinou-se diante do rei até terra.
And looking out, Araunah turned his attention to the king and his servants, passing toward him.
21 E Araúna disse: Por que vem meu senhor o rei a seu servo? E Davi respondeu: Para comprar de ti a eira, para edificar altar ao SENHOR, a fim de que a mortandade cesse do povo.
And going out, he adored the king, lying prone with his face to the ground, and he said, “What is the reason that my lord the king has come to his servant?” And David said to him, “So as to purchase the threshing floor from you, and to build an altar to the Lord, and to quiet the plague that rages among the people.”
22 E Araúna disse a Davi: Tome e sacrifique meu senhor o rei o que bem lhe parecer; eis aqui bois para o holocausto; e trilhos e outros equipamentos de bois para lenha:
And Araunah said to David: “May my lord the king offer and accept whatever is pleasing to him. You have oxen for a holocaust, and the cart and the yokes of the oxen to use for wood.”
23 Tudo isto, ó rei, Araúna dá ao rei. Logo disse Araúna ao rei: o SENHOR teu Deus se agrade de ti.
All these things Araunah gave, as a king to a king. And Araunah said to the king, “May the Lord your God accept your vow.”
24 E o rei disse a Araúna: Não, mas por preço o comprarei de ti; porque não oferecerei ao SENHOR meu Deus holocaustos gastando nada. Então Davi comprou a eira e os bois por cinquenta siclos de prata.
And in response, the king said to him: “It shall not be as you wish. Instead, I will purchase it from you at a price. For I will not offer to the Lord, my God, holocausts that cost nothing.” Therefore, David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25 E ali Davi edificou um altar ao SENHOR, e sacrificou holocaustos e ofertas pacíficas; e o SENHOR se aplacou com a terra, e cessou a praga de Israel.
And in that place, David built an altar to the Lord. And he offered holocausts and peace offerings. And the Lord was gracious to the land, and the plague was held back from Israel.
