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 anger of the Lord was again kindled against Israel, and stirred up David among them, saying: Go, number Israel and Juda.
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 general of his army: Go through all the tribes of Israel from Dan to Bersabee, and number ye the people that I may know the number of them.
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: The Lord thy God increase thy people, and make them as many more as they are now, and again multiply them a hundredfold in the sight of my lord the king: but what meaneth my lord the king 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 king’s words prevailed over the words of Joab, and of the captains of the army: and Joab, and the captains of the soldiers went out from the presence of the king, to 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 the Jordan, they came to Aroer to the right side of the city, which is in the vale 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 by Jazer they passed into Galaad, and to the lower land of Hodsi, and they came into the woodlands of Dan. And going about by 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 all the land of the Hevite, and the Chanaanite, and they came to the south of Juda into Bersabee:
8 E depois que andaram toda a terra, voltaram a Jerusalém ao fim de nove meses e vinte dias.
And having gone through the whole land, after nine months and twenty days, they came to 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.
And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people to the king, and there were found of Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword: and of Juda 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.
But David’s heart struck him, after the people were numbered: and David said to the Lord: I have sinned very much in what I have done: but I pray thee, O Lord, to take away the iniquity of thy servant, because I have done exceeding foolishly.
11 E pela manhã, quando Davi se levantou, veio a palavra do SENHOR a Gade profeta, vidente de Davi, dizendo:
And David arose in the morning, and the word of the Lord came to Gad the prophet and the 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 saith the Lord: I give thee thy choice of three things, choose one of them which thou wilt, that I may do it to thee.
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 was come to David, he told him, saying: Either seven years of famine shall come to thee in thy land: or thou shalt flee three months before thy adversaries, and they shall pursue thee: or for three days there shall be a pestilence in thy land. Now therefore deliberate, and see what answer I shall return to him that 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.
And David said to Gad: I am in a great strait: 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 unto the time appointed, and there died of the people from Dan to Bersabee 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 stretched out his hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord had pity on the affliction, and said to the angel that slew the people: It is enough: now hold thy hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the thrashingfloor of Areuna 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 David said to the Lord, when he saw the angel striking the people: It is I; I am he that have sinned, I have done wickedly: these that are the sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I beseech thee, 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.
And Gad came to David that day, and said: Go up, and build an altar to the Lord in the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite.
19 E subiu Davi, conforme ao dito de Gade, que o SENHOR lhe havia mandado.
And David went up according to the word of Gad which the Lord had commanded 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 Areuna looked, and saw the king and his servants coming towards 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.
An going out he worshipped the king, bowing with his face to the earth, and said: Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? Arid David said to him: To buy the thrashingfloor of thee, and build an altar to the Lord, that the plague, which rageth among the people, may cease.
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 Areuna said to David: Let my lord the king take, and offer, as it seemeth good to him: thou hast here oxen for a holocaust, and the wain, and the yokes of the oxen 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 Areuna as a king gave to the king: and Areuna said to the king: The Lord thy God receive thy 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 the king answered him, and said: Nay, but I will buy it of thee at a price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God holocausts free cost. So David bought the floor, and the oxen, for fifty sicles 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 David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered holocausts and peace offerings: and the Lord became merciful to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
