2 Samuelova 24
1 A Gospod se opet razgnjevi na Izrailja, i nadraži Davida na njih govoreæi: hajde izbroj Izrailja i Judu.
Again the anger of Yahweh was ignited against Israel, and he moved David against them saying, “Go, count Israel and Judah.”
2 I reèe car Joavu, vojvodi svom: proði po svijem plemenima Izrailjevijem od Dana do Virsaveje, i izbrojte narod, da znam koliko ima naroda.
The king said to Joab the commander of the army, who was with him, “Go throughout all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and count all the people, so that I may know the total number of men fit for battle.”
3 A Joav reèe caru: neka doda Gospod Bog tvoj k narodu koliko ga je sad još sto puta toliko, i da car gospodar moj vidi svojim oèima; ali zašto car gospodar moj hoæe to?
Joab said to the king, “May Yahweh your God multiply the number of people a hundred times, and may the eyes of my master the king see it take place. But why does my master the king want this?”
4 Ali rijeè careva bi jaèa od Joava i vojvoda; i otide Joav i vojvode od cara da prebroje narod Izrailjev.
Nevertheless, the king's word was final against Joab and against the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders went out from the king's presence to count the people of Israel.
5 I prešavši preko Jordana stadoše u oko u Aroiru, s desne strane grada, koji je na sredini potoka Gadova, i kod Jazira.
They crossed over the Jordan and encamped near Aroer, south of the city in the valley. Then they traveled on through Gad to Jazer.
6 Potom doðoše u Galad, i u donju zemlju Odsiju, a odatle otidoše u Dan-Jan i u okolinu Sidonsku.
They came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi, then on to Dan Jaan and around toward Sidon.
7 Potom doðoše do grada Tira i u sve gradove Jevejske i Hananejske; i otidoše na južnu stranu Judinu u Virsaveju.
They reached the stronghold of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and the Canaanites. Then they went out to the Negev in Judah at Beersheba.
8 I obišavši svu zemlju vratiše se u Jerusalim poslije devet mjeseci i dvadeset dana.
When they had gone throughout all the land, they came back to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
9 I Joav dade caru broj prepisanoga naroda; i bješe od Izrailja osam stotina tisuæa ljudi za vojsku koji mahahu maèem, a ljudi od Jude pet stotina tisuæa.
Then Joab reported the total of the count of the fighting men to the king. There were in Israel 800,000 brave men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were 500,000 men.
10 Tada Davida taknu u srce, pošto prebroji narod, i reèe David Gospodu: sagriješih veoma što to uradih. Ali, Gospode, uzmi bezakonje sluge svojega, jer veoma ludo radih.
Then David's heart afflicted him after he had counted the men. So he said to Yahweh, “I have greatly sinned by doing this. Now, Yahweh, take away your servant's guilt, for I have acted very foolishly.”
11 A kad David usta ujutru, doðe rijeè Gospodnja Gadu proroku, koji bijaše Davidu vidjelac, i reèe:
When David rose up in the morning, the word of Yahweh came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
12 Idi i kaži Davidu: 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.”'”
13 I doðe Gad k Davidu, i kaza mu govoreæi: hoæeš li da bude sedam gladnijeh godina u zemlji tvojoj, ili da bježiš tri mjeseca od neprijatelja svojih i oni da te gone, ili da bude tri dana pomor u tvojoj zemlji? Sad promisli i gledaj šta æu odgovoriti onome koji me je poslao.
So Gad went to David and said to him, “Will three years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months from your enemies while they pursue you? Or will there be three days of plague in your land? Now decide what answer I should return to him who sent me.”
14 A David reèe Gadu: u tjeskobi sam ljutoj; ali neka zapadnemo Gospodu u ruke, jer je milost njegova velika; a ljudima da ne zapadnem u ruke.
Then David said to Gad, “I am in deep trouble. Let us fall into Yahweh's hands rather than into the hand of man, for his merciful actions are very great.”
15 I tako pusti Gospod pomor na Izrailja od jutra do odreðenoga vremena, i pomrije naroda od Dana do Virsaveje sedamdeset tisuæa ljudi.
So Yahweh sent a plague on Israel from the morning to a fixed time, and seventy thousand people died from Dan to Beersheba.
16 A kad anðeo pruži ruku svoju na Jerusalim da ga ubija, sažali se Gospodu sa zla, i reèe anðelu koji ubijaše narod: dosta, spusti ruku. A anðeo Gospodnji bijaše kod gumna Orne Jevusejina.
When the angel reached out with his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, Yahweh changed his mind because of the harm it would cause, and he said to the angel who was destroying people, “Enough! Now draw back your hand.” At that time the angel of Yahweh was standing at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
17 A David kad vidje anðela gdje bije narod, progovori i reèe Gospodu: evo, ja sam zgriješio, ja sam zlo uèinio, a te ovce što su uèinile? neka se ruka tvoja obrati na mene i na dom oca mojega.
Then David spoke to Yahweh when he saw the angel who had attacked the people, and said, “I have sinned, and I have acted perversely. But these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand punish me and my father's family!”
18 Potom opet doðe Gad k Davidu isti dan, i reèe mu: idi, naèini Gospodu oltar na gumnu Orne Jevusejina.
Then Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar for Yahweh at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
19 I otide David po rijeèi Gadovoj, kako Gospod zapovjedi.
So David went up as Gad instructed him to do, as Yahweh had commanded.
20 Tada Orna obazrevši se ugleda cara i sluge njegove gdje idu k njemu; i otide Orna i pokloni se caru licem do zemlje,
Araunah looked out and saw the king and his servants approaching. So Araunah went out and bowed to the king with his face to the ground.
21 I reèe: što je došao car gospodar moj sluzi svojemu? A David reèe: da kupim od tebe to gumno, da naèinim na njemu oltar Gospodu da bi prestao pomor u narodu.
Then Araunah said, “Why has my master the king come to me, his servant?” David replied, “To buy your threshing floor, so I can build an altar for Yahweh, so that the plague may be removed from the people.”
22 A Orna reèe Davidu: neka uzme car gospodar moj i prinese na žrtvu što mu je volja; evo volova za žrtvu paljenicu, i kola i jarmova volujskih za drva.
Araunah said to David, “Take it as your own, my master the king. Do with it what is good in your sight. Look, here are oxen for the burnt offering and threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood.
23 Sve to davaše caru Orna kao car, i reèe Orna caru: Gospod Bog tvoj neka te milostivo primi.
All this, my king, I, Araunah, will give to you.” Then he said to the king, “May Yahweh your God accept you.”
24 A car reèe Orni: ne; nego æu kupiti od tebe po cijeni, niti æu prinijeti Gospodu Bogu svojemu žrtve paljenice poklonjene. I tako kupi David gumno i volove za pedeset sikala srebra.
The king said to Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it at a price. I will not offer as a burnt offering to Yahweh anything that costs me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25 I ondje naèini David oltar Gospodu, i prinese žrtve paljenice i žrtve zahvalne. I Gospod se umilostivi zemlji, i presta pomor u Izrailju.
David built an altar for Yahweh there and offered on it burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. So Yahweh answered the prayer on behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was confined.
