1 Chronicles 21
1 Now Satan, designing evil against Israel, put into David's mind the impulse to take the number of Israel.
Então Satanás se levantou contra Israel, e incitou David a numerar a Israel.
2 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.
E disse David a Joab e aos maiorais do povo: Ide, numerai a Israel, desde Berseba até Dan; e trazei-me a conta, para que saiba o número deles.
3 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?
Então disse Joab: O Senhor acrescente ao seu povo cem vezes tanto como é; porventura, ó rei meu senhor, não são todos servos de meu senhor? Porque procura isto o meu senhor? Porque seria causa de delito para com Israel.
4 But the king's word was stronger than Joab's. So Joab went out and went through all Israel and came to Jerusalem.
Porém a palavra do rei prevaleceu contra Joab; pelo que saiu Joab, e passou por todo o Israel; então voltou para Jerusalém.
5 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.
E Joab deu a David a soma do número do povo: e era todo o Israel um milhão e cem mil homens, dos que arrancavam espada; e de Judá quatrocentos e setenta mil homens, dos que arrancavam espada.
6 But Levi and Benjamin were not numbered among them, for Joab was disgusted with the king's order.
Porém os de Levi e Benjamin não contou entre eles, porque a palavra do rei foi abominável a Joab.
7 And God was not pleased with this thing; so he sent punishment on Israel.
E este negócio também pareceu mal aos olhos de Deus: pelo que feriu a Israel.
8 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.
Então disse David a Deus: Gravemente pequei em fazer este negócio; porém agora sê servido tirar a iniquidade de teu servo, porque obrei mui loucamente.
9 Then the word of the Lord came to Gad, David's seer, saying,
Falou pois o Senhor a Gad, o vidente de David, dizendo:
10 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.
Vai, e fala a David, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor: três coisas te proponho: escolhe uma delas, para que eu t'a faça.
11 So Gad came to David and said to him, The Lord says, Take whichever you will:
E Gad veio a David, e lhe disse: Assim diz o Senhor: Escolhe para ti,
12 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.
Ou três anos de fome, ou que três meses te consumas diante de teus adversários, e a espada de teus inimigos te alcance, ou que três dias a espada do Senhor, isto é, a peste na terra, e o anjo do Senhor destruam todos os termos de Israel: vê pois agora que resposta hei de levar a quem me enviou.
13 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.
Então disse David a Gad: Estou em grande angústia; caia eu pois nas mãos do Senhor, porque são muitíssimas as suas misericórdias; mas que eu não caia nas mãos dos homens.
14 So the Lord sent disease on Israel, causing the death of seventy thousand men.
Mandou pois o Senhor a peste a Israel: e cairam de Israel setenta mil homens.
15 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.
E o Senhor mandou um anjo a Jerusalém para a destruir; e, destruindo-a ele, o Senhor o viu, e se arrependeu daquele mal, e disse ao anjo destruidor: Basta, agora retira a tua mão. E o anjo do Senhor estava junto à eira de Ornan, jebuseu.
16 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.
E, levantando David os seus olhos, viu o anjo do Senhor, que estava entre a terra e o céu, com a sua espada desembainhada na sua mão estendida contra Jerusalém: então David e os anciãos, cobertos de sacos, se prostraram sobre os seus rostos.
17 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.
E disse David a Deus: Não sou eu o que disse que se contasse o povo? E eu mesmo sou o que pequei, e fiz muito mal; mas estas ovelhas que fizeram? Ah! Senhor, meu Deus, seja a tua mão contra mim, e contra a casa de meu pai, e não para castigo de teu povo.
18 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.
Então o anjo do Senhor disse a Gad que dissesse a David que subisse David para levantar um altar ao Senhor na eira d'Ornan, jebuseu.
19 And David went up, as Gad had said in the name of the Lord.
Subiu pois David, conforme a palavra de Gad, que falara em nome do Senhor.
20 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.
E, virando-se Ornan, viu o anjo, e se esconderam com ele seus quatro filhos: e Ornan estava trilhando o trigo.
21 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.
E David veio a Ornan: e olhou Ornan, e viu a David, e saiu da eira, e se prostrou perante David com o rosto em terra.
22 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.
E disse David a Ornan: Dá-me este lugar da eira, para edificar nele um altar ao Senhor; dá-mo pelo seu valor, para que cesse este castigo sobre o povo.
23 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.
Então disse Ornan a David: Toma-a para ti, e faça o rei meu Senhor dela o que parecer bem aos seus olhos: eis que dou os bois para holocaustos, e os trilhos para lenha, e o trigo para oferta de manjares: tudo dou.
24 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.
E disse o rei David a Ornan: Não, antes pelo seu valor a quero comprar: porque não tomarei o que é teu, para o Senhor; para que não ofereça holocausto sem custo.
25 So David gave Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
E David deu a Ornan por aquele lugar o peso de seiscentos siclos de ouro.
26 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.
Então David edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, e ofereceu nele holocaustos e sacrifícios pacíficos: e invocou o Senhor, o qual lhe respondeu com fogo do céu sobre o altar do holocausto.
27 Then the Lord gave orders to the angel, and he put back his sword into its cover.
E o Senhor deu ordem ao anjo, e ele tornou a sua espada à bainha.
28 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.
Vendo David, no mesmo tempo, que o Senhor lhe respondera na eira de Ornan, jebuseu, sacrificou ali.
29 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.
Porque o tabernáculo do Senhor, que Moisés fizera no deserto, e o altar do holocausto, estavam naquele tempo no alto de Gibeon.
30 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.
E não podia David ir perante ele buscar ao Senhor; porque estava aterrorisado por causa da espada do anjo do Senhor.
