Chronicles I 21
1 And the devil stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
Tada Satan ustade na Izraela i potače Davida da izbroji Izraelce.
2 And king David said to Joab and to the captains of the forces, Go, number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me [the account], and I shall know their number.
Kralj reče Joabu i narodnim knezovima: “Idite, izbrojte Izraelce od Beer Šebe pa do Dana, onda se vratite i kažite mi koliko ih je na broju.”
3 And Joab said, May the Lord add to his people, a hundred-fold as many as they [are], and [let] the eyes of my lord the king see [it]: all [are] the servants of my lord. Why does my lord seek this thing? [do it not], lest it become a sin to Israel.
Joab reče: “Neka Jahve dade svome narodu još sto puta ovoliko koliko ga je sada! Nisu li, moj gospodaru kralju, svi oni sluge mome gospodaru? Zašto traži to moj gospodar? Zašto da bude na krivicu Izraelu?”
4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab went out and passed through all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
Ali kraljeva riječ bijaše jača od Joabove. Tako je Joab otišao i počeo obilaziti sav Izrael, a onda se, najposlije, vrati u Jeruzalem.
5 And Joab gave the number of the mustering of the people to David: and all Israel was a million and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and the sons of Juda [were] four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.
Joab dade Davidu popis naroda; Izraelaca bijaše milijun i sto tisuća ljudi vičnih maču, a Judejaca četiri stotine i sedamdeset tisuća vičnih maču.
6 But he numbered not Levi and Benjamin amongst them; for the word of the king was painful to Joab.
Ali nije pobrojio među njima ni Levijeva ni Benjaminova plemena, jer je Joabu bila odvratna kraljeva zapovijed.
7 And [there was] evil in the sight of the Lord respecting this thing; and he struck Israel.
Bilo je to mrsko i u Božjim očima, pa Bog udari Izraela.
8 And David said to God, I have sinned exceedingly, in that I have done this thing: and now, I pray you, remove the sin of your servant; for I have been exceedingly foolish.
David reče Bogu: “Veoma sam sagriješio što sam to učinio. Ali oprosti krivicu svome sluzi jer sam vrlo ludo radio!”
9 And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer, saying,
Jahve reče Davidovu vidiocu Gadu:
10 Go and speak to David, saying, Thus says the Lord, I bring three things upon you: choose one of them for yourself, and I will do it to you.
“Idi i kaži Davidu: 'Ovako veli Jahve: Troje stavljam preda te; izaberi sebi jedno od toga da ti učinim!'”
11 And Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus says the Lord, Choose for yourself,
Došavši k Davidu, Gad mu reče: “Ovako veli Jahve: 'Biraj sebi
12 either three years of famine, or that you should flee three months from the face of your enemies, and the sword of your enemies [shall be employed] to destroy you, or that the sword of the Lord and pestilence [should be] three days in the land, and the angel of the Lord [shall be] destroying in all the inheritance of Israel. And now consider what I shall answer to him that sent the message.
ili glad za tri godine, ili da tri mjeseca bježiš pred neprijateljima i mač tvojih neprijatelja da te stiže, ili da tri dana Jahvin mač i kuga bude na zemlji i Jahvin anđeo da ubija po svim izraelskim krajevima.' Sada promisli i gledaj što da odgovorim onome koji me poslao!”
13 And David said to Gad, They are very hard for me, even [all] the three: let me fall now into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies [are] very abundant, and let me not fall by any means into the hands of man.
David reče Gadu: “Na velikoj sam muci! Ah, neka padnem u Jahvine ruke, jer je veliko njegovo milosrđe, a u ljudske ruke da ne zapadnem!”
14 So the Lord brought pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
Tako je Jahve poslao kugu na Izraela te pomrije sedamdeset tisuća Izraelaca.
15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the Lord saw, and repented for the evil, and said to the angel that was destroying, Let it suffice you; withhold your hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.
Bog je poslao anđela na Jeruzalem da ga istrebljuje; a kad je počeo istrebljivati, pogledao je Jahve i sažalilo mu se zbog zla, pa je rekao anđelu zatorniku: “Dosta je sada, spusti ruku!” Jahvin je anđeo stajao kraj gumna Jebusejca Ornana.
16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord, standing between the earth and the heaven, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem: and David and the elders clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
David, podigavši oči, vidje Jahvina anđela kako stoji između zemlje i neba držeći u ruci isukan mač koji je podigao na Jeruzalem, i on pade ničice sa starješinama obučenim u kostrijet.
17 And David said to God, [Was it] not I [that] gave orders to number the people? and I am the guilty one; I have greatly sinned: but these sheep, what have they done? O Lord God, let your hand be upon me, and upon my father's house, and not on your people for destruction, O Lord!
David reče Bogu: “Nisam li ja zapovjedio da se izbroji narod? Ja sam, dakle, onaj koji sam sagriješio i grdno zlo načinio, a što učiniše te ovce? Jahve, Bože moj, neka tvoja ruka dođe na me i na moju obitelj, a ne na taj narod da ga pomori!”
18 And the angel of the Lord told Gad to tell David, that he should go up to erect and altar to the Lord, in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.
Tada Jahvin anđeo reče Gadu da kaže Davidu neka uziđe i neka podigne žrtvenik Jahvi na gumnu Jebusejca Ornana.
19 And David went up according to the word of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the Lord.
David je otišao po riječi koju mu je Gad rekao u Jahvino ime.
20 And Orna turned and saw the king; and he hid himself and his four sons with him. Now Orna was threshing wheat.
A Ornan, okrenuvši se, opazi anđela, a njegova se četiri sina sakriše. Ornan je vrhao pšenicu.
21 And David came to Orna; and Orna came forth from the threshing floor, and did obeisance to David with his face to the ground.
Uto dođe David do Ornana, a on, pogledavši i opazivši Davida, dođe s gumna i pokloni se Davidu licem do zemlje.
22 And David said to Orna, Give me your place of the threshing floor, and I will build upon it an altar to the Lord: give it me for its worth in money, and the plague shall cease from [amongst] the people.
Tada David reče Ornanu: “Daj mi to gumno da sagradim na njemu žrtvenik Jahvi; za potpunu cijenu daj mi ga da bi prestao pomor u narodu!”
23 And Orna said to David, Take it to yourself, and let my lord the king do what is right in his eyes: see, I have given the calves for a whole burnt offering, and the plough for wood, and the corn for a meat-offering; I have given all.
Ornan odgovori Davidu: “Neka ga uzme i neka čini moj gospodar kralj što je dobro u njegovim očima; evo, dajem ti goveda za paljenice, i mlatilice za drva, i pšenicu za prinosnicu; sve ti to poklanjam.”
24 And king David said to Orna, Nay; for I will surely buy it for its worth in money: for I will not take your property for the Lord, to offer a whole burnt offering to the Lord without cost [to myself].
Kralj David reče Ornanu: “Ne, nego hoću da kupim u tebe i da platim, jer neću da prinosim Jahvi što je tvoje, da prinosim paljenice koje su mi poklonjene.”
25 And David gave to Orna for his place six hundred shekels of gold [by] weight.
I David dade Ornanu za ono mjesto šest stotina zlatnih šekela na mjeru.
26 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings: and he cried to the Lord, and he answered him by fire out of heaven on the altar of whole burnt offerings, and [it] consumed the whole burnt offering.
Tada sagradi ondje žrtvenik Jahvi i prinese paljenice i pričesnice; a kad je prizvao Jahvu, on ga usliša spustivši oganj s neba na žrtvenik za paljenice.
27 And the Lord spoke to the angel; and he put up the sword into its sheath.
Jahve zapovjedi anđelu da vrati mač u korice.
28 At that time when David saw that the Lord answered him in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite, he also sacrificed there.
U ono vrijeme, vidjevši da ga je Jahve uslišio na gumnu Jebusejca Ornana, David poče prinositi žrtve ondje.
29 And the tabernacle of the Lord which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of whole burnt offerings, [were] at that time in the high place at Gabaon.
Jahvino prebivalište, koje je napravio Mojsije u pustinji, i žrtvenik za paljenice bio je u to vrijeme na uzvisini u Gibeonu.
30 And David could not go before it to enquire of God; for he hasted not because of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
David nije mogao ići k njemu da traži Boga jer ga je bio spopao strah od mača Jahvina anđela.
