2 Књига Самуилова 24
1 А Господ се опет разгневи на Израиља, и надражи Давида на њих говорећи: Хајде изброј Израиља и Јуду.
Now again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, "Go, number Israel and Judah."
2 И рече цар Јоаву, војводи свом: Прођи по свим племенима Израиљевим од Дана до Вирсавеје, и избројте народ, да знам колико има народа.
So the king said to Joab and the captains of the army, who were with him, "Now go back and forth through all Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba and number the people, that I may know the sum of the people."
3 А Јоав рече цару: Нека дода Господ Бог твој к народу колико га је сад још сто пута толико, и да цар господар мој види својим очима; али зашто цар господар мој хоће то?
But Joab said to the king, "Now may the LORD your God add to the people, however many they may be, one hundred times; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king delight in this thing?"
4 Али реч царева би јача од Јоава и војвода; и отиде Јоав и војводе од цара да преброје народ Израиљев.
However, the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the army. Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king, to number the children of Israel.
5 И прешавши преко Јордана стадоше у логор у Ароиру, с десне стране града, који је на средини потока Гадовог, и код Јазира.
They crossed over the Jordan and began from Aroer, and from the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad; then on to Jazer.
6 Потом дођоше у Галад, и у доњу земљу Одсију, а одатле отидоше у Дан-Јан и у околину сидонску.
Then they came to Gilead, and to the region of the Hethites, to Kedesh; and they came to Dan. Then they skirted Sidon,
7 Потом дођоше до града Тира и у све градове јевејске и хананејске; и отидоше на јужну страну Јудину у Вирсавеју.
and came to the stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites; and they went out to the south of Judah, at Beersheba.
8 И обишавши сву земљу вратише се у Јерусалим после девет месеци и двадесет дана.
So when they had gone back and forth through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
9 И Јоав даде цару број преписаног народа; и беше од Израиља осам стотина хиљада људи за војску који махаху мачем, а људи од Јуде пет стотина хиљада.
Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
10 Тада Давида такну у срце, пошто преброја народ, и рече Давид Господу: Сагреших веома што то урадих. Али, Господе, узми безакоње слуге свог, јер веома лудо радих.
David's heart struck him after that he had numbered the people. David said to the LORD, "I have sinned greatly in that which I have done. But now, LORD, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly."
11 А кад Давид уста ујутру, дође реч Господња Гаду, пророку који беше Давиду виделац, и рече:
When David rose up in the morning, the word of the LORD came to Gad, David's seer, saying,
12 Иди и кажи Давиду: Овако вели Господ: Троје ти дајем, изабери једно да ти учиним.
"Go and speak to David, 'Thus says the LORD, "I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you."'
13 И дође Гад к Давиду, и каза му говорећи: Хоћеш ли ти да буде седам гладних година у земљи твојој, или да бежиш три месеца од непријатеља својих и они да те гоне, или да буде три дана помор у твојој земљи? Сад промисли и гледај шта ћу одговорити Ономе који ме је послао.
So Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, "Shall three years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days' pestilence in your land? Now answer, and consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me."
14 А Давид рече Гаду: У тескоби сам љутој; али нека западнемо Господу у руке, јер је милост Његова велика; а људима да не западнем у руке.
David said to Gad, "All of them are difficult for me. Only let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great. Let me not fall into the hand of man."
15 И тако пусти Господ помор на Израиља од јутра до одређеног времена, и помре народа од Дана до Вирсавеје седамдесет хиљада људи.
So the LORD sent a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the appointed time; and the destruction began among the people. And there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.
16 А кад анђео пружи руку своју на Јерусалим да га убија, сажали се Господу са зла, и рече анђелу који убијаше народ: Доста, спусти руку. А анђео Господњи беше код гумна Орне Јевусејина.
When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, "It is enough. Now stay your hand." The angel of the LORD was standing near the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. And David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and the sky, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell down on their faces.
17 А Давид кад виде анђела где бије народ, проговори и рече Господу: Ево, ја сам згрешио, ја сам зло учинио, а те овце шта су учиниле? Нека се рука Твоја обрати на мене и на дом оца мог.
Then David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, "Look, I have sinned, and I, the shepherd, have done great evil. But these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me, and against my father's house."
18 Потом опет дође Гад к Давиду исти дан, и рече му: Иди, начини Господу олтар на гумну Орне Јевусејина.
And Gad went to David that day and said, "Go up, build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."
19 И отиде Давид по речи Гадовој, како Господ заповеди.
So David went up and did what Gad had said, as the LORD commanded.
20 Тада Орна обазревши се угледа цара и слуге његове где иду к њему; и отиде Орна и поклони се цару лицем до земље,
And Araunah looked out and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him, so Araunah went out and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
21 И рече: Што је дошао цар господар мој слузи свом? А Давид рече: Да купим од тебе то гумно, да начиним на њему олтар Господу да би престао помор у народу.
And Araunah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" And David said, "To buy this threshing floor from you to build an altar to the LORD, so that the plague may be held back from the people."
22 А Орна рече Давиду: Нека узме цар господар мој и принесе на жртву шта му је воља; ево волова за жртву паљеницу, и кола и јармова волујских за дрва.
But Araunah said to David, "Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Look, the oxen for the burnt offering, and the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood.
23 Све то даваше цару Орна као цар, и рече Орна цару: Господ Бог твој нека те милостиво прими.
All these Araunah gives to the king." And Araunah said to the king, "May the LORD your God accept you."
24 А цар рече Орни: Не; него ћу купити од тебе по цени, нити ћу принети Господу Богу свом жртву паљеницу поклоњену. И тако купи Давид гумно и волове за педесет сикала сребра.
But the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25 И онде начини Давид олтар Господу, и принесе жртве паљенице и жртве захвалне. И Господ се умилостиви земљи, и преста помор у Израиљу.
Then David built an altar to the LORD there and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD responded to the plea for the land, and the plague was withdrawn from Israel.
