Первая книга Паралипоменон 21
1 Воста же диавол на Израиля и подусти Давида, да сочислит Израиля.
And the Accuser stood up against Israel, and incited David to count Israel.
2 И рече царь Давид ко Иоаву и к началником силы: идите и сочтите Израиля от Вирсавеи даже до Дана, и принесите ко мне, да познаю число их.
And David said to Joab, and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba' even to Dan, and bring their number to me, that I may know it.
3 И рече Иоав: да приложит Господь к людем Своим, якоже сии сторицею, и очи господина моего царя да видят: не вси ли господину моему царю раби суть? И почто хощет сего господин мой? Дабы не вменилося в грех Израилю.
Then said Joab, May the Lord add unto his people, how many soever they be, a hundred-fold more: are they not all, my lord the king, my lord's servants? why then will my lord require this thing? why shall it be a cause of guiltiness for Israel?
4 Но слово царево преможе Иоава: и пойде Иоав, и обыде всего Израиля, и прииде во Иерусалим.
Nevertheless the king's word remained firm against Joab; and Joab went out, and moved about throughout all Israel, and came [back] to Jerusalem.
5 И даде Иоав Давиду число сочтения людий: и обретеся всего Израиля тысяща тысящ и сто тысящ мужей и носящих оружия: и от сынов Иудиных четыре ста и седмьдесят тысящ мужей носящих оружие:
And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto David: and there were [in] all Israel a thousand times thousand and one hundred thousand men that drew the sword: and [of] Judah were four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew the sword.
6 Левии же и Вениамина не сочте среде их, понеже вознегодова о словеси цареве Иоав.
But Levi and Benjamin did he not count among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
7 И не угодно явися пред Богом повеление сие, и порази Израиля.
And this thing was displeasing in the eyes of God, and he smote Israel.
8 Рече же Давид ко Богу: согреших зело, яко сотворих вещь сию: и ныне молю, отими беззаконие раба Твоего, яко обезумихся зело.
And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing; but now, I beseech thee, cause the iniquity of thy servant to pass away; for I have acted very foolishly.
9 И рече Господь ко Гаду пророку Давидову, глаголя:
And the Lord spoke unto Gad, David's seer, saying,
10 иди и рцы к Давиду, глаголя: тако глаголет Господь: трие Аз наведу на тя, избери себе едино от них, и сотворю тебе.
Go and speak unto David, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Three things do I offer thee: choose for thyself one of them, and I will do it unto thee.
11 И прииде Гад к Давиду и рече ему:
So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Select for thyself,
12 сице глаголет Господь: избери себе, (еже хощеши, ) или три лета глада, или три месяцы бегати тебе от лица враг твоих, и оружие враг твоих постигнет тя, или три дни мечь Господень, и смерть на землю, и Ангел Господень убиваяй во всем наследии Израилеве: ныне убо разсмотри, что отвещаю Пославшему мя со словом.
Whether there shall be three years famine; or three months, to be destroyed before thy adversaries, so that the sword of thy enemies overtake thee; or that during three days the sword of the Lord, even the pestilence, shall be in the land, and an angel of the Lord destroying throughout all the boundaries of Israel? And now reflect what word I shall bring back to him that hath sent me.
13 И рече Давид ко Гаду: тесна ми суть три сия зело: но лучше ми есть впасти в руце Господни, зане многи щедроты Его зело, в руки же человеческия да не впаду.
And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall then into the hand of the Lord; for his mercies are very great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.
14 И посла Господь смерть во Израиля, и падоша от Израиля седмьдесят тысящ мужей.
So the Lord sent a pestilence in Israel, and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
15 И посла Бог Ангела во Иерусалим, да избиет его. И егда избиваше, виде Господь и раскаяся о зле, и рече Ангелу избивающему: довлеет ти, отими руку твою. Ангел же Господень стояше на гумне Орны Иевусеанина.
And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it; but as he was destroying, the Lord looked on, and he bethought himself of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough: now stay thy hand. And the angel of the Lord was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 И возведе Давид очи своя, и виде Ангела Господня стояща между землею и небом, и мечь его извлечен в руку его, простерт на Иерусалим. И паде Давид и старейшины (Израилевы) облеченнии во вретище на лице свое,
And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord standing between the earth and the heavens, with his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. Then fell David, with the elders wrapt in sackcloth, upon their faces.
17 и рече Давид к Богу: не аз ли повелех сочислити люди? Аз есмь, иже согреших, и зло творя зло сотворих, сия же овцы что сотвориша? Господи Боже мой, да будет рука Твоя на мне и на дому отца моего, а не на людех Твоих в погубление, Господи.
And David said unto God, Was it not I that ordered to count the people? and I am the one that have sinned and have done evil indeed; but these sheep, what have they done? O Lord my God, let thy hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house, but not against thy people, that there should be a plague.
18 Ангел же Господень рече Гаду, еже глаголати к Давиду: да взыдет и созиждет олтарь Господу Богу на гумне Орны Иевусеанина.
And the angel of the Lord spoke to Gad to say to David, that David should go up, to erect an altar unto the Lord on the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 И взыде Давид по словеси Гадову, еже глагола именем Господним.
And David went up by the word of Gad, which he had spoken in the name of the Lord.
20 И обратися Орна и виде царя, и четыри сынове его с ним крыющиися. Орна же бе (в то время) млатя на гумне пшеницу.
And when Ornan turned back, and saw the angel, then did he and his four sons with him hide themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
21 И прииде Давид ко Орне, и обратися Орна, и узре Давида, и пойде от гумна, и поклонися Давиду лицем на землю.
And as David came up to Ornan, Ornan looked up and saw David; and he went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
22 Рече же Орне Давид: даждь мне место гумна твоего, да созижду на нем олтарь Господеви, на сребре достойне даждь ми е, и престанет язва от людий.
Then said David to Ornan, “Grant me the site of this threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar unto the Lord: for the full price shalt thou give it unto me, so that the plague may be stayed from the people.”
23 Рече же Орна к Давиду: возми себе, и да сотворит господин мой царь, еже угодно пред ним: се, даю телцы на всесожжение, и плуг на дрова, и пшеницу в жертву, вся (добровольно) даю.
And Ornan said unto David, Take it for thyself, and let my lord the king do what is good in his eyes: lo, I give the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing-rollers for wood, and the wheat for the meat-offering; the whole do I give [thee].
24 И рече царь Давид Орне: ни, но куплею куплю, сребром достойным, понеже не возму Господеви, яже суть твоя, еже вознести всесожжение туне Господеви.
And king David said to Ornan, No: but I will surely buy it at the full value; for I will not take what is thine for the Lord, so as to offer burnt-offerings without paying therefore.
25 И даде Давид Орне за место то сикль златых весом шесть сот.
So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
26 И созда ту Давид олтарь Господеви, и вознесе всесожжения и спасителная и воззва ко Господу, и услыша его во огни от небесе на олтарь всесожжения, и потреби всесожжение.
And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and he called on the Lord: and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.
27 И рече Господь ко Ангелу: и вложи мечь во влагалище его.
And the Lord spoke to the angel, and he put back his sword into its sheath.
28 Во время оно, егда виде Давид, яко услыша его Господь на гумне Орны Иевусеанина, и пожре ту жертвы.
At that time when David saw that the Lord had answered him on the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then did he sacrifice there.
29 И скиния Господня, юже сотвори Моисей в пустыни, и олтарь всесожжения во время оно бысть в вышнем, еже в Гаваоне.
But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt-offering, were at that time in the high-place at Gib'on.
30 И не возможе Давид ити пред него, еже вопросити Бога, понеже устрашен бысть от лица меча Ангела Господня.
But David was not able to go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
