1 Kroniška 21
1 Satan je vstal zoper Izraela in spodbudil Davida, da prešteje Izraela.
Now Satan, designing evil against Israel, put into David's mind the impulse to take the number of Israel.
2 In David je rekel Joábu ter voditeljem ljudstva: »Pojdite, preštejte Izraela od Beeršéba celo do Dana in njihovo število prinesite k meni, da ga bom lahko vedel.«
And David said to Joab and the captains of the people, Now let all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, be numbered; and give me word so that I may be certain of their number.
3 Joáb je odgovoril: » Gospod naj naredi svoje ljudstvo stokrat tako številno, kot jih je, toda moj gospod kralj, ali niso vsi služabniki mojega gospoda? Zakaj potem moj gospod zahteva to stvar? Zakaj bo on razlog prekrška Izraelu?«
And Joab said, May the Lord make his people a hundred times more in number than they are; but, my lord king, are they not all my lord's servants? why would my lord have this done? why will he become a cause of sin to Israel?
4 Kljub temu je kraljeva beseda prevladala proti Joábovi. Zato je Joáb odpotoval, šel skozi ves Izrael in prišel v Jeruzalem.
But the king's word was stronger than Joab's. So Joab went out and went through all Israel and came to Jerusalem.
5 Joáb je Davidu izročil vsoto ljudstva. In vseh iz Izraela je bilo milijon sto tisoč, ki so izdirali meč, in Juda je bilo štiristo sedemdeset tisoč mož, ki so izdirali meč.
And Joab gave David the number of all the people; all the men of Israel, able to take up arms, were one million, one hundred thousand men; and those of Judah were four hundred and seventy thousand men, able to take up arms.
6 Toda Lévijevce in Benjamina pa ni prištel mednje, kajti kraljeva beseda je bila Joábu gnusna.
But Levi and Benjamin were not numbered among them, for Joab was disgusted with the king's order.
7 Bog pa je bil razžaljen s to stvarjo, zato je udaril Izraela.
And God was not pleased with this thing; so he sent punishment on Israel.
8 David je rekel Bogu: »Silno sem grešil, ker sem storil to stvar. Toda zdaj te rotim, odstrani krivičnost svojega služabnika, kajti storil sem zelo nespametno.«
Then David said to God, Great has been my sin in doing this; but now, be pleased to take away the sin of your servant, for I have done very foolishly.
9 Gospod je spregovoril Davidovemu vidcu Gadu:
Then the word of the Lord came to Gad, David's seer, saying,
10 »Pojdi in povej Davidu, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ponujam ti tri stvari. Izberi eno izmed njih, da ti jo bom lahko storil.‹«
Go and say to David, The Lord says, Three things are offered to you: say which of them you will have, so that I may do it to you.
11 Tako je Gad prišel k Davidu in mu rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Izberi si
So Gad came to David and said to him, The Lord says, Take whichever you will:
12 ali tri leta lakote, ali tri mesece uničenja pred svojimi sovražniki, medtem ko te dohiteva meč tvojih sovražnikov, ali tri dni Gospodovega meča, celo kužne bolezni v deželi in uničevanje od Gospodovega angela po vseh Izraelovih pokrajinah. Sedaj si torej svetuj, kakšno besedo naj ponovno prinesem tistemu, ki me je poslal.‹«
Three years when there will not be enough food; or three months of war, when you will go in flight before your haters, being in great danger of the sword; or three days of the sword of the Lord, disease in the land, and the angel of the Lord taking destruction through all the land of Israel. Now give thought to the answer I am to take back to him who sent me.
13 David je rekel Gadu: »V veliki stiski sem. Naj torej padem v Gospodovo roko, kajti zelo velika so njegova usmiljenja, toda naj ne padem v roko človeka.«
And David said to Gad, This is a hard decision for me to make: let me come into the hands of the Lord, for great are his mercies: let me not come into the hands of men.
14 Tako je Gospod nad Izrael poslal kužno bolezen in izmed Izraela je padlo sedemdeset tisoč mož.
So the Lord sent disease on Israel, causing the death of seventy thousand men.
15 Bog je poslal angela k Jeruzalemu, da ga uniči. Medtem ko je ta uničeval, je Gospod opazoval, se pokesal od zla in rekel angelu, ki je uničeval: »Dovolj je, zadrži sedaj svojo roko.« In Gospodov angel je stal pri mlatišču Jebusejca Ornana.
And God sent an angel to Jerusalem for its destruction: and when he was about to do so, the Lord saw, and had regret for the evil, and said to the angel of destruction, It is enough; do no more. Now the angel of the Lord was by the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 David je povzdignil svoje oči in zagledal Gospodovega angela stati med zemljo in nebom, ki je imel v svoji roki izvlečen meč, iztegnjen nad Jeruzalemom. Potem so David in starešine Izraela, ki so bili oblečeni v vrečevino, padli na svoje obraze.
And David, lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord there between earth and heaven, with an uncovered sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the responsible men, clothed in haircloth, went down on their faces.
17 David pa je rekel Bogu: » Ali nisem to jaz, ki sem zapovedal, da se ljudstvo prešteje? Celo jaz sem ta, ki je grešil in zares storil zlo. Toda kar se tiče teh ovc, kaj so te storile? Naj bo tvoja roka, prosim te, oh Gospod, moj Bog, na meni in na hiši mojega očeta, toda ne na tvojem ljudstvu, da bi bili trpinčeni.«
And David said to God, Was it not I who gave the order for the people to be numbered? It is I who have done the sin and the great wrong; but these are only sheep; what have they done? let your hand, O Lord God, be lifted up against me and against my family, but not against your people to send disease on them.
18 Potem je Gospodov angel zapovedal Gadu, da reče Davidu, naj gre David gor in postavi oltar Gospodu na mlatišču Jebusejca Ornana.
Then the angel of the Lord gave orders to Gad to say to David that he was to go and put up an altar to the Lord on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 David je na Gadovo besedo, ki jo je govoril v Gospodovem imenu, odšel gor.
And David went up, as Gad had said in the name of the Lord.
20 Ornan pa se je obrnil in zagledal angela in njegovi štirje sinovi so se z njim vred skrili. Torej Ornan je mlatil pšenico.
And Ornan, turning back, saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him went to a secret place. Now Ornan was crushing his grain.
21 Ko je David prišel k Ornanu, je Ornan pogledal in zagledal Davida in šel ven iz mlatišča in se pripognil k Davidu s svojim obrazom do tal.
And when David came, Ornan, looking, saw him, and came out from the grain-floor and went down on his face to the earth before him.
22 Potem je David rekel Ornanu: »Zagotovi mi prostor tega mlatišča, da bom na njem lahko zgradil oltar Gospodu. Zagotovil mi ga boš za polno ceno, da bo nadloga lahko ustavljena pred ljudstvom.«
Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place where this grain-floor is, so that I may put up an altar here to the Lord: let me have it for its full price; so that this disease may be stopped among the people.
23 Ornan je rekel Davidu: »Vzemi to k sebi in naj moj gospod kralj stori to, kar je dobro v njegovih očeh. Glej, dam ti tudi vola za žgalne daritve, mlatilne priprave za les in pšenico za jedilno daritev; vse to dam.«
And Ornan said to David, Take it, and let my lord the king do what seems right to him. See, I give you the oxen for burned offerings and the grain-cleaning instruments for fire-wood, and the grain for the meal offering; I give it all.
24 Kralj David je rekel Ornanu: »Ne, temveč bom to resnično kupil za polno ceno, kajti ne bom vzel tega, kar je tvoje, za Gospoda niti žgalne daritve daroval brez stroška.«
And King David said to Ornan, No; I will certainly give you the full price for it, because I will not take for the Lord what is yours, or give a burned offering without payment.
25 Tako je David dal Ornanu za prostor šeststo šeklov zlata po teži.
So David gave Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
26 David je tam zgradil oltar Gospodu in daroval žgalne daritve in mirovne daritve in klical h Gospodu in ta mu je iz nebes odgovoril z ognjem na oltar žgalne daritve.
And David put up an altar there to the Lord, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings with prayers to the Lord; and he gave him an answer from heaven, sending fire on the altar of burned offering.
27 Gospod je zapovedal angelu in ta je svoj meč ponovno vtaknil v svojo nožnico.
Then the Lord gave orders to the angel, and he put back his sword into its cover.
28 V tistem času, ko je David videl, da mu je Gospod odgovoril na mlatišču Jebusejca Ornana, potem je tam žrtvoval.
At that time, when David saw that the Lord had given him an answer on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he made an offering there.
29 Kajti Gospodovo šotorsko svetišče, ki ga je Mojzes naredil v divjini in oltar žgalne daritve sta bila v tem obdobju na visokem kraju pri Gibeónu.
For the House of the Lord, which Moses had made in the waste land, and the altar of burned offerings, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
30 Toda David ni mogel iti predenj, da bi povprašal od Boga, kajti bal se je zaradi meča Gospodovega angela.
But David was not able to go before it to get directions from the Lord, so great was his fear of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
