1 Dnevnika 21
1 Ali usta sotona na Izrailja i navrati Davida da izbroji Izrailja.
An adversary arose against Israel and incited David to count Israel.
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.
David said to Joab and to the commanders of the army, “Go, count the people of Israel from Beersheba to Dan and report back to me, that I may know their number.”
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?
Joab said, “May Yahweh make his army a hundred times greater than it is. But my master the king, do they not all serve my master? Why does my master want this? Why bring guilt on Israel?”
4 Ali rijeè careva nadjaèa Joava. I tako otide Joav i obide svega Izrailja, pa se vrati u Jerusalim.
But the king's word was enforced against Joab. So Joab left and went throughout all Israel. Then he came back 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.
Then Joab reported the total of the count of the fighting men to David. There were in Israel 1,100,000 men who drew the sword. Judah alone had 470,000 soldiers.
6 A plemena Levijeva i Venijaminova ne izbroji s njima, jer mrska bješe Joavu zapovijest careva.
But Levi and Benjamin were not counted among them, for the king's command had disgusted Joab.
7 A ne bješe mila Bogu ta stvar; zato udari Izrailja.
God was offended by this action, so he attacked Israel.
8 I David reèe Bogu: sagriješih veoma što to uradih; ali uzmi bezakonje sluge svojega, jer veoma ludo radih.
David said to God, “I have greatly sinned by doing this. Now take away your servant's guilt, for I have acted very foolishly.”
9 A Gospod reèe Gadu vidiocu Davidovu govoreæi:
Yahweh told Gad, David's prophet,
10 Idi kaži Davidu i reci: ovako veli Gospod: troje ti dajem, izberi jedno da ti uèinim.
“Go say to David, 'This is what Yahweh says: I am giving you three choices. Choose one of them.'”
11 I doðe Gad k Davidu i reèe mu: tako veli Gospod, biraj:
So Gad went to David and said to him, “Yahweh says this, 'Choose one of these:
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.
either three years of famine, three months being pursued by your enemies and being caught by their swords, or else three days of Yahweh's sword, that is, a plague in the land, with the angel of Yahweh destroying throughout all the land of Israel.' Now then, decide what answer I should take to 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.
Then David said to Gad, “I am in great distress! Let me fall into the hand of Yahweh rather than into the hand of man, for his merciful actions are very great.”
14 I tako pusti Gospod pomor na Izrailja, te pade Izrailja sedamdeset tisuæa ljudi.
So Yahweh sent a plague on Israel, and seventy thousand people died.
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,
God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy it, Yahweh watched and changed his mind about the harm. He said to the destroying angel, “Enough! Now draw back your hand.” At that time the angel of Yahweh was standing at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
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 of Yahweh standing between earth and heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand raised over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, lay facedown 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, “Is it not I that commanded that the army be numbered? I did this wicked thing. But these sheep, what have they done? Yahweh my God! Let your hand strike me and my family, but do not let the plague remain on your people.”
18 Tada anðeo Gospodnji reèe Gadu da kaže Davidu da izide gore i naèini oltar Gospodu na gumnu Ornana Jevusejina.
So the angel of Yahweh commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up and build an altar for Yahweh at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 I izide David po rijeèi Gadovoj, koju mu reèe u ime Gospodnje.
So David went up as Gad instructed him to do in the name of Yahweh.
20 A Ornan okrenuv se ugleda anðela, i sakri se sa èetiri sina svoja. Jer Ornan vrsijaše pšenicu.
While Ornan was threshing wheat, he turned and saw the angel. He and his four sons with him hid themselves.
21 Utom doðe David do Ornana; i pogledav Ornan kad vidje Davida izide iz gumna i pokloni se Davidu licem do zemlje.
When David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David. He left the threshing floor and bowed to David with his face to 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.
Then David said to Ornan, “Sell me this threshing floor, so I can build an altar for Yahweh. I will pay the full price, so that the plague may be removed from the people.”
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.
Ornan said to David, “Take it as your own, my master the king. Do with it what is good in your sight. Look, I will give you oxen for burnt offerings, threshing sledges for wood, and wheat for the grain offering; I will give it all 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.
King David said to Ornan, “No, I insist on buying it for the full price. I will not take what is yours and offer it as a burnt offering to Yahweh if it costs me nothing.”
25 I dade David Ornanu za ono mjesto na mjeru šest stotina sikala zlata.
So David paid six hundred shekels of gold for the place.
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 for Yahweh there and offered on it burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. He called on Yahweh, who answered him with fire from heaven on the altar for burnt offerings.
27 I zapovjedi Gospod anðelu, te vrati maè svoj u korice.
Then Yahweh gave an order to the angel, and the angel put his sword back into its sheath.
28 U ono vrijeme vidjev David da ga Gospod usliši na gumnu Ornana Jevusejina prinošaše žrtve ondje.
When David saw that Yahweh had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he performed the sacrifice there at that same time.
29 A šator Gospodnji, koji naèini Mojsije u pustinji, i oltar za žrtve paljenice bijaše u to vrijeme na visini u Gavaonu.
Now at that time, Yahweh's tabernacle, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar for burnt offerings, were at the high place at Gibeon.
30 I David ne može iæi k njemu da traži Boga, jer se uplaši od maèa anðela Gospodnjega.
However, David could not go there to ask for God's direction, because he was afraid of the sword of the angel of Yahweh.
