1 Kroniška 21
1 Satan je vstal zoper Izraela in spodbudil Davida, da prešteje Izraela.
And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number 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 to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
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, Jehovah add to his people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold: are they not all, my lord O king, my lord's servants? why does my lord require this thing? why should he become a trespass 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 prevailed against Joab; and Joab departed, and went through all Israel, and came [again] 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 the sum of the number of the people to David. And all they of Israel were eleven hundred thousand men that drew sword; and of Judah, four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.
6 Toda Lévijevce in Benjamina pa ni prištel mednje, kajti kraljeva beseda je bila Joábu gnusna.
But Levi and Benjamin he did not count among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
7 Bog pa je bil razžaljen s to stvarjo, zato je udaril Izraela.
And God was displeased on account of this thing, and he smote 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.«
And David said to God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing; and now, I beseech thee, put away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
9 Gospod je spregovoril Davidovemu vidcu Gadu:
And Jehovah spoke 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 speak to David saying, Thus saith Jehovah: I offer thee three [things]; choose one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
11 Tako je Gad prišel k Davidu in mu rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Izberi si
And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah:
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.‹«
Choose thee, either three years of famine, or three months to be destroyed before thine adversaries while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee, or three days the sword of Jehovah and the pestilence in the land, and the angel of Jehovah destroying through all the borders of Israel. And now consider what word I shall bring again to him that 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, I am in a great strait: let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah, for his mercies are very great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.
14 Tako je Gospod nad Izrael poslal kužno bolezen in izmed Izraela je padlo sedemdeset tisoč mož.
And Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel 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 to destroy it; and as he was destroying, Jehovah beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough; withdraw now thine hand. And the angel of Jehovah stood by the threshing-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 lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Jehovah stand between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. And David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell 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, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned and done evil; but these sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, Jehovah my God, be on me and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be smitten.
18 Potem je Gospodov angel zapovedal Gadu, da reče Davidu, naj gre David gor in postavi oltar Gospodu na mlatišču Jebusejca Ornana.
And the angel of Jehovah commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up and rear an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 David je na Gadovo besedo, ki jo je govoril v Gospodovem imenu, odšel gor.
And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he had spoken in the name of Jehovah.
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 turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
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 David came to Ornan, and Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself to David with [his] face to the ground.
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.«
And David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of the threshing-floor, that I may build an altar in it to Jehovah: grant it to me for the full money, that the plague may be stayed from 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 to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his sight: see, I give the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-sledges for wood, and the wheat for the oblation; 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; but I will in any case buy [them] for the full money; for I will not take that which is thine for Jehovah, to offer up a burnt-offering without cost.
25 Tako je David dal Ornanu za prostor šeststo šeklov zlata po teži.
And David gave to Ornan for the place in shekels of gold the weight of six hundred [shekels].
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 built there an altar to Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon Jehovah; and he answered him from the heavens by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.
27 Gospod je zapovedal angelu in ta je svoj meč ponovno vtaknil v svojo nožnico.
And Jehovah spoke to the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.
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 Jehovah had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed 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.
And the tabernacle of Jehovah, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, 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 could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Jehovah.
