Первая книга Паралипоменон 21
1 Воста же диавол на Израиля и подусти Давида, да сочислит Израиля.
Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to take a census of 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.
David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, “Go, count Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know how many there are.”
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.
Joab said, “May Yahweh make his people a hundred times as many as they are. But, my lord the king, aren’t they all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?”
4 Но слово царево преможе Иоава: и пойде Иоав, и обыде всего Израиля, и прииде во Иерусалим.
Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel, then came 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:
Joab gave the sum of the census of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew a sword; and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who drew a sword.
6 Левии же и Вениамина не сочте среде их, понеже вознегодова о словеси цареве Иоав.
But he didn’t count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.
7 И не угодно явися пред Богом повеление сие, и порази Израиля.
God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel.
8 Рече же Давид ко Богу: согреших зело, яко сотворих вещь сию: и ныне молю, отими беззаконие раба Твоего, яко обезумихся зело.
David said to God, “I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant, for I have done very foolishly.”
9 И рече Господь ко Гаду пророку Давидову, глаголя:
Yahweh spoke to 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 to David, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”
11 И прииде Гад к Давиду и рече ему:
So Gad came to David and said to him, “Yahweh says, ‘Take your choice:
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.
either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days of the sword of Yahweh, even pestilence in the land, and Yahweh’s angel destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who 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.
David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into Yahweh’s hand, for his mercies are very great. Don’t let me fall into man’s hand.”
14 И посла Господь смерть во Израиля, и падоша от Израиля седмьдесят тысящ мужей.
So Yahweh sent a pestilence on Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
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.
God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, Yahweh saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” Yahweh’s angel 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,
David lifted up his eyes, and saw Yahweh’s angel 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 on 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.
David said to God, “Isn’t it I who commanded the people to be counted? It is even I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, O Yahweh my God, be against me and against my father’s house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued.”
18 Ангел же Господень рече Гаду, еже глаголати к Давиду: да взыдет и созиждет олтарь Господу Богу на гумне Орны Иевусеанина.
Then Yahweh’s angel commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up and raise an altar to Yahweh on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 И взыде Давид по словеси Гадову, еже глагола именем Господним.
David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in Yahweh’s name.
20 И обратися Орна и виде царя, и четыри сынове его с ним крыющиися. Орна же бе (в то время) млатя на гумне пшеницу.
Ornan turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid 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.
As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and 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 David said to Ornan, “Sell me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar to Yahweh on it. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting 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.
Ornan said to David, “Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Behold, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all.”
24 И рече царь Давид Орне: ни, но куплею куплю, сребром достойным, понеже не возму Господеви, яже суть твоя, еже вознести всесожжение туне Господеви.
King David said to Ornan, “No, but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for Yahweh, nor offer a burnt offering that costs me nothing.”
25 И даде Давид Орне за место то сикль златых весом шесть сот.
So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
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.
David built an altar to Yahweh there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on Yahweh; and he answered him from the sky by fire on the altar of burnt offering.
27 И рече Господь ко Ангелу: и вложи мечь во влагалище его.
Then Yahweh commanded the angel, and he put his sword back 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 Yahweh had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29 И скиния Господня, юже сотвори Моисей в пустыни, и олтарь всесожжения во время оно бысть в вышнем, еже в Гаваоне.
For Yahweh’s tabernacle, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
30 И не возможе Давид ити пред него, еже вопросити Бога, понеже устрашен бысть от лица меча Ангела Господня.
But David couldn’t go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid because of the sword of Yahweh’s angel.
