1 Kroniška 21
1 Satan je vstal zoper Izraela in spodbudil Davida, da prešteje Izraela.
And there standeth up an adversary against Israel, and persuadeth 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 saith unto Joab, and unto the heads of the people, 'Go, number Israel from Beer-Sheba even unto Dan, and bring unto me, and I know 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 saith, 'Jehovah doth add to His people as they are a hundred times; are they not, my lord, O king, all of them to my lord for servants? why doth my lord seek this? why is he for a cause of guilt to Israel?'
4 Kljub temu je kraljeva beseda prevladala proti Joábovi. Zato je Joáb odpotoval, šel skozi ves Izrael in prišel v Jeruzalem.
And the word of the king [is] severe against Joab, and Joab goeth out, and goeth up and down in all Israel, and cometh in 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 giveth the account of the numbering of the people unto David, and all Israel is a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand, each drawing sword, and Judah [is] four hundred and seventy thousand, each drawing sword.
6 Toda Lévijevce in Benjamina pa ni prištel mednje, kajti kraljeva beseda je bila Joábu gnusna.
And Levi and Benjamin he hath not numbered in their midst, for the word of the king was abominable with Joab.
7 Bog pa je bil razžaljen s to stvarjo, zato je udaril Izraela.
And it is evil in the eyes of God concerning this thing, and He smiteth 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 saith unto God, 'I have sinned exceedingly, in that I have done this thing; and now, cause to pass away, I pray Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant, for I have acted very foolishly.'
9 Gospod je spregovoril Davidovemu vidcu Gadu:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Gad, seer of David, 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 thou hast spoken unto David, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Three — I am stretching out unto thee; choose for thee one of these, and I do [it] to thee.'
11 Tako je Gad prišel k Davidu in mu rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Izberi si
And Gad cometh in unto David, and saith to him, 'Thus said Jehovah, Take for thee —
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.‹«
either for three years — famine, or three months to be consumed from the face of thine adversaries, even the sword of thine enemies to overtake, or three days the sword of Jehovah, even pestilence in the land, and a messenger of Jehovah destroying in all the border of Israel; and now, see; what word do I return to Him who is sending 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 saith unto Gad, 'I am greatly distressed, let me fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah, for very many [are] His mercies, and into the hand of man let me not fall.'
14 Tako je Gospod nad Izrael poslal kužno bolezen in izmed Izraela je padlo sedemdeset tisoč mož.
And Jehovah giveth a pestilence in Israel, and there fall 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 sendeth a messenger to Jerusalem to destroy it, and as he is destroying Jehovah hath seen, and is comforted concerning the evil, and saith to the messenger who [is] destroying, 'Enough, now, cease thy hand.' And the messenger of Jehovah is standing 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 lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the messenger of Jehovah standing between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem, and David falleth, and the elders, covered with sackcloth, 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 saith unto God, 'Did not I — I say to number the people? Yea, I it [is] who have sinned, and done great evil: and these, the flock, what did they? O Jehovah, my God, let, I pray Thee, Thy hand be on me, and on the house of my father, and not on Thy people — to be plagued.'
18 Potem je Gospodov angel zapovedal Gadu, da reče Davidu, naj gre David gor in postavi oltar Gospodu na mlatišču Jebusejca Ornana.
And the messenger of Jehovah spake unto Gad, saying for David, 'Surely David doth go up to raise 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 goeth up by the word of Gad, that he spake 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 turneth back, and seeth the messenger, and his four sons [are] with him, hiding themselves, and Ornan is 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 cometh in unto Ornan, and Ornan looketh attentively, and seeth David, and goeth out from the threshing-floor, and boweth himself to David — face to the earth.
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 saith unto Ornan, 'Give to me the place of the threshing-floor, and I build in it an altar to Jehovah; for full silver give it to me, and the plague is restrained 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 saith unto David, 'Take to thee — and my lord the king doth that which is good in his eyes: see, I have given the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for a present; the whole I have given.'
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 saith to Ornan, 'Nay, for I surely buy for full silver; for I do not lift up that which is thine to Jehovah, so as to offer a burnt-offering without cost.'
25 Tako je David dal Ornanu za prostor šeststo šeklov zlata po teži.
And David giveth to Ornan for the place shekels of gold [in] weight six hundred;
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 buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and offereth burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and calleth unto Jehovah, and He answereth him with fire from the heavens on the altar of the burnt-offering.
27 Gospod je zapovedal angelu in ta je svoj meč ponovno vtaknil v svojo nožnico.
And Jehovah saith to the messenger, and he turneth back his sword unto 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 seeth that Jehovah hath answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificeth 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 that Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt-offering, [are] at that time in a high place, in Gibeon;
30 Toda David ni mogel iti predenj, da bi povprašal od Boga, kajti bal se je zaradi meča Gospodovega angela.
and David is not able to go before it to seek God, for he hath been afraid because of the sword of the messenger of Jehovah.
