1 Dnevnika 21
1 Ali usta sotona na Izrailja i navrati Davida da izbroji Izrailja.
Satan decided to cause the Israeli people to have trouble. So he incited David to find out how many men in Israel [were able to be in the army].
2 I reèe David Joavu i knezovima narodnijem: idite, izbrojte sinove Izrailjeve od Virsaveje dori do Dana, pa mi javite da znam koliko ih ima.
So David commanded Joab and the other army commanders, “Count all the men in Israel [who are able to be in the army]. Start at Beersheba [town in the south] and go all the way to Dan [city in the north]. Then come back and report to me, in order that I may know how many men there are.”
3 Ali Joav reèe: neka doda Gospod narodu svojemu koliko ga je sada još sto puta toliko; nijesu li, care gospodaru moj, svi sluge gospodaru mojemu? zašto traži to gospodar moj? zašto da bude na grijeh Izrailju?
But Joab replied, “Your majesty, even if Yahweh allowed us to have 100 times as many soldiers as we have now, you would [RHQ] still rule all of them. So why do you want us to do this? You will surely [RHQ] cause [all the people of] Israel to be guilty of sinning.”
4 Ali rijeè careva nadjaèa Joava. I tako otide Joav i obide svega Izrailja, pa se vrati u Jerusalim.
But David would not change his mind. So Joab [and his soldiers] went everywhere in Israel and in Judah, and counted the people. Then they returned to Jerusalem,
5 I dade Joav broj prepisanoga naroda Davidu; i bijaše svega naroda Izrailjeva tisuæa tisuæa i sto tisuæa ljudi koji mahahu maèem, a naroda Judina èetiri stotine i sedamdeset tisuæa ljudi koji mahahu maèem.
and they reported to David that there were 1,100,000 men in Israel who could be in the army, and 470,000 in Judah.
6 A plemena Levijeva i Venijaminova ne izbroji s njima, jer mrska bješe Joavu zapovijest careva.
Joab did not count the men from the tribes of Levi and Benjamin, because he was disgusted with what the king had commanded.
7 A ne bješe mila Bogu ta stvar; zato udari Izrailja.
David’s command to count the people caused God to become angry, so he [told David that he had decided to] punish [the people of] Israel.
8 I David reèe Bogu: sagriješih veoma što to uradih; ali uzmi bezakonje sluge svojega, jer veoma ludo radih.
Then David prayed, saying, “Yahweh, what I did was very foolish. I have sinned greatly by what I have done. So now I plead with you, please forgive me.”
9 A Gospod reèe Gadu vidiocu Davidovu govoreæi:
Then Yahweh said to Gad, David’s prophet,
10 Idi kaži Davidu i reci: ovako veli Gospod: troje ti dajem, izberi jedno da ti uèinim.
“Go and tell this to David: I am allowing you to choose one of three things [to punish you]. I will do whichever one you choose.”
11 I doðe Gad k Davidu i reèe mu: tako veli Gospod, biraj:
So Gad went to David and said to him, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You can choose one of these [punishments]:
12 Ili glad za tri godine, ili tri mjeseca da bježiš od neprijatelja svojih i maè neprijatelja tvojih da te stiže, ili tri dana maè Gospodnji i pomor da bude u zemlji i anðeo Gospodnji da ubija po svijem krajevima Izrailjevijem. Sada dakle gledaj što æu odgovoriti onomu koji me je poslao.
three years of famine [in Israel], or three months during which your armies will run away from their enemies [who will attack them with] swords, or three days during which I will send my angel to cause many people in the country to die because of a (plague/very serious illness).’ So, you must decide what I will say to answer [Yahweh, ] the one who sent me.”
13 A David reèe Gadu: u tjeskobi sam ljutoj; ali neka zapadnem Gospodu u ruke, jer je veoma velika milost njegova; a ljudima da ne zapadnem u ruke.
David replied to Gad, “I am very distressed. But allow Yahweh to punish [MTY] me, because he is very merciful. Do not allow humans to punish me, [because they will not be merciful].”
14 I tako pusti Gospod pomor na Izrailja, te pade Izrailja sedamdeset tisuæa ljudi.
So Yahweh sent a plague on [the people of] Israel, and 70,000 of them died because of it.
15 I posla Gospod anðela u Jerusalim da ga ubija; i kad ubijaše, pogleda Gospod i sažali mu se sa zla; i reèe anðelu koji ubijaše: dosta, spusti ruku svoju. A anðeo Gospodnji stajaše kod gumna Ornana Jevusejina,
And God sent an angel to destroy the people in Jerusalem by the plague. But when the angel was standing at the ground where Araunah, from the Jebus people-group, threshed grain, Yahweh saw all the suffering that the people had endured, and he was grieved. So he said to the angel, “Stop what you are doing [IDM]! That is enough [IDM]!”
16 A David podiže oèi svoje i vidje anðela Gospodnjega gdje stoji izmeðu zemlje i neba a u ruci mu go maè, kojim bješe zamahnuo na Jerusalim; i pade David i starješine nièice, obuèeni u kostrijet.
David looked up and saw the angel whom Yahweh had sent, standing between the sky and the ground. The angel had a sword in his hand that was pointed toward Jerusalem. Then David and the elders [of the city], who were wearing clothes made of rough sackcloth, prostrated themselves on the ground.
17 I reèe David Bogu: nijesam li ja zapovjedio da se izbroji narod? ja sam dakle zgriješio i zlo uèinio; a te ovce šta su uèinile? Gospode Bože moj, neka se ruka tvoja obrati na me i na dom oca mojega; ali ne na taj narod da ga potre.
David said to God, “I am [RHQ] the one who ordered the men who could be in the army to be counted. I am the one who has sinned and done what is very wrong, but these people are [as innocent as] [MET] sheep. They have certainly not [RHQ] done anything [that is wrong]. So Yahweh my God, punish [IDM] me and my family, but do not allow this plague to continue to [cause] your people [to become sick and die].”
18 Tada anðeo Gospodnji reèe Gadu da kaže Davidu da izide gore i naèini oltar Gospodu na gumnu Ornana Jevusejina.
Then the angel who was sent by Yahweh told Gad to go up to the place where Araunah threshed grain and tell David to build an altar to [worship] Yahweh there.
19 I izide David po rijeèi Gadovoj, koju mu reèe u ime Gospodnje.
So [after Gad told] David, [he] obeyed the message that Yahweh [MTY] had given to Gad, [and he went up there].
20 A Ornan okrenuv se ugleda anðela, i sakri se sa èetiri sina svoja. Jer Ornan vrsijaše pšenicu.
While Araunah was threshing some wheat, he turned and saw the angel. His four sons who were with him [also saw the angel, and they] hid themselves.
21 Utom doðe David do Ornana; i pogledav Ornan kad vidje Davida izide iz gumna i pokloni se Davidu licem do zemlje.
Then David approached. When Araunah saw him, he left the place where he was threshing grain and prostrated himself, with his face touching the ground.
22 Tada reèe David Ornanu: daj mi to gumno da naèinim na njemu oltar Gospodu; za novce koliko vrijedi daj mi ga, da bi prestao pomor u narodu.
David said to him, “Please sell me your threshing place in order that I can build an altar here to [worship] Yahweh. Then he will stop this plague. I will pay the full price.”
23 A Ornan reèe Davidu: uzmi i neka èini gospodar moj car što mu je drago; evo dajem i volove za žrtve paljenice, i kola za drva, i pšenicu za dar; sve to dajem.
Araunah replied, “Take it! Your majesty, do whatever you want to. I will give you the oxen [that thresh the grain] for an offering to be completely burned [on the altar]. And I will give you the threshing boards to use as wood [on the altar], and I will give you grain for a grain offering. I will give all those things to you.”
24 A car David reèe Ornanu: ne, nego æu kupiti za novce šta vrijedi, jer neæu da prinesem Gospodu što je tvoje ni da prinesem žrtve paljenice poklonjene.
But the king said to Araunah, “No, [I will not take these things as a gift]. I will pay you the full price for it. I will not take things that belong to you, things that have cost me nothing and offer them as sacrifices to Yahweh to be completely burned on the altar.”
25 I dade David Ornanu za ono mjesto na mjeru šest stotina sikala zlata.
So David paid Araunah 600 pieces of gold for the whole area.
26 I ondje naèini David oltar Gospodu, i prinese žrtve paljenice i žrtve zahvalne; i prizva Gospoda, i usliši ga spustivši oganj s neba na oltar žrtve paljenice.
David built an altar to [worship] Yahweh there, and he offered sacrifices to be completely burned [on the altar] and sacrifices to restore fellowship [with Yahweh]. David prayed to Yahweh, and Yahweh answered by sending a fire from heaven [to burn up the offerings] on the altar.
27 I zapovjedi Gospod anðelu, te vrati maè svoj u korice.
Then Yahweh spoke to the angel, and told him to put his sword back into its sheath. [So the angel did that].
28 U ono vrijeme vidjev David da ga Gospod usliši na gumnu Ornana Jevusejina prinošaše žrtve ondje.
And when David saw that Yahweh had answered him there at the place where Araunah threshed grain [and had ended the plague], he offered sacrifices there.
29 A šator Gospodnji, koji naèini Mojsije u pustinji, i oltar za žrtve paljenice bijaše u to vrijeme na visini u Gavaonu.
Yahweh’s Sacred Tent, which Moses had commanded to be set up in the desert, and the altar for burning sacrifices completely, were at that time on a hill at Gibeon [city].
30 I David ne može iæi k njemu da traži Boga, jer se uplaši od maèa anðela Gospodnjega.
But David did not want to go there to request God to tell him what he wanted [him to do], because he was afraid that the angel sent from Yahweh [might strike him with] his sword.
