2 Samuel 24
1 And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go number Israel and Judah.
In ponovno je bila vžgana Gospodova jeza zoper Izrael in zoper njih je napeljal Davida, da reče: »Pojdite, preštejte Izraela in Juda.«
2 For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, who [was] with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.
Kajti kralj je rekel Joábu, poveljniku vojske, ki je bila z njim: »Pojdite sedaj skozi vse Izraelove rodove, od Dana, celo do Beeršébe in preštejte ljudstvo, da bom lahko vedel število ljudstva.«
3 And Joab said to the king, Now the LORD thy God add to the people, how many soever they may be, a hundred-fold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see [it]: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
Joáb pa je rekel kralju: »Torej Gospod, tvoj Bog, [naj] doda ljudstvu, kolikokrat že, stokratno in da bodo oči mojega gospoda kralja lahko to videle, toda zakaj se moj gospod kralj razveseljuje v tej stvari?«
4 Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
Vendar je kraljeva beseda prevladala zoper Joába in zoper poveljnike vojske. In Joáb in poveljniki vojske so odšli izpred kraljeve prisotnosti, da preštejejo Izraelsko ljudstvo.
5 And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that [lieth] in the midst of the river of Gad, and towards Jazer:
Prečkali so Jordan in se utaborili v Aroêrju, na desni strani mesta, ki leži v sredi reke Gad in proti Jazêrju.
6 Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and about to Zidon,
Potem so prišli v Gileád in v deželo Tahtím Hodší; in prišli so v Dan Jáan in okoli k Sidónu
7 And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, [even] to Beer-sheba.
in prišli so k močnemu oporišču Tir in k vsem mestom Hivéjcev in Kánaancev in odšli so ven k južnemu Judu, celó do Beeršébe.
8 So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
Torej ko so šli skozi vso deželo, so ob koncu devetih mesecev in dvajsetih dni prišli v Jeruzalem.
9 And Joab presented the sum of the number of the people to the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah [were] five hundred thousand men.
Joáb je kralju izročil vsoto števila ljudstva. Tam je bilo v Izraelu osemsto tisoč hrabrih mož, ki so izdirali meč in Judovih mož je bilo petsto tisoč mož.
10 And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said to the LORD, I have sinned greatly in what I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
Davidovo srce pa ga je udarilo, potem ko je imel ljudstvo prešteto. David je rekel Gospodu: »Silno sem grešil v tem, kar sem storil in sedaj te rotim, oh Gospod, odvzemi krivičnost svojega služabnika, kajti postopal sem zelo nespametno.«
11 For when David had risen in the morning, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
Kajti ko je bil David zjutraj pokonci, je k Davidovemu vidcu, preroku Gadu, prišla beseda od Gospoda, rekoč:
12 Go and say to David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three [things]; choose thee one of them, that I may [do it] to thee.
»Pojdi in reci Davidu: ›Tako govori Gospod, ponujam ti tri stvari. Izberi eno izmed njih, da ti jo lahko storim.‹«
13 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, Shall seven years of famine come upon thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thy enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? Now consider, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
Tako je Gad prišel k Davidu in mu povedal ter mu rekel: »Ali naj pride k tebi, v tvojo deželo, sedem let lakote? Ali hočeš tri mesece bežati pred svojimi sovražniki, medtem ko te zasledujejo? Ali, da bo v tvoji deželi tridnevna kužna bolezen? Sedaj se posvetuj in glej, kakšen odgovor naj vrnem tistemu, ki me je poslal.«
14 And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies [are] great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
David je Gadu rekel: »V veliki stiski sem. Naj torej pademo v Gospodovo roko, kajti njegova usmiljenja so velika in naj ne padem v roko človeka.«
15 So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.
Tako je Gospod nad Izrael poslal kužno bolezen od jutra celo do določenega časa in tam je umrlo izmed ljudstva, od Dana, celo do Beeršébe, sedemdeset tisoč mož.
16 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thy hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing-place of Araunah the Jebusite.
Ko je angel svojo roko iztegnil nad Jeruzalem, da ga uniči, se je Gospod pokesal od zla in rekel angelu, ki je uničeval ljudstvo: »Dovolj je. Zadrži sedaj svojo roko.« Gospodov angel pa je bil pri kraju mlatišča Jebusejca Arávna.
17 And David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.
David je spregovoril Gospodu, ko je videl angela, ki je udaril ljudstvo in rekel: »Glej! Grešil sem, storil sem zlobno. Toda te ovce, kaj so storile? Naj bo tvoja roka, prosim te, zoper mene in zoper hišo mojega očeta.«
18 And Gad came that day to David, and said to him, Go up, rear an altar to the LORD in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Gad je ta dan prišel k Davidu in mu rekel: »Pojdi gor, zgradi oltar Gospodu na mlatišču Jebusejca Arávna.«
19 And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.
David je, glede na Gadovo izjavo, odšel gor, kakor je Gospod ukazal.
20 And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming towards him: And Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.
Arávna je pogledal in zagledal kralja ter njegove služabnike prihajati proti njemu. Arávna je odšel ven in se upognil pred kraljem na svoj obraz k tlom.
21 And Araunah said, Why is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
Arávna je rekel: »Čemu je moj gospod kralj prišel k svojemu služabniku?« David je rekel: »Da od tebe kupim mlatišče, da zgradim oltar Gospodu, da bo kuga lahko ustavljena pred ljudstvom.«
22 And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what [seemeth] good to him: behold, [here are] oxen for burnt-sacrifice, and threshing-instruments and [other] instruments of the oxen for wood.
Arávna je rekel Davidu: »Naj moj gospod kralj vzame in daruje, kar se mu zdi dobro. Glej, tukaj so voli za žgalno daritev in mlatilne priprave in druge volovske priprave za drva.«
23 All these [things] did Araunah, [as] a king, give to the king. And Araunah said to the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.
Vse te stvari je Arávna, kakor kralj, dal kralju. In Arávna je rekel kralju: » Gospod, tvoj Bog, [naj] te sprejme.«
24 And the king said to Araunah, No; but I will surely buy [it] of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt-offerings to the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
Kralj pa je Arávnu rekel: »Ne; temveč bom to zagotovo kupil od tebe za ceno. Niti ne bom daroval žgalne daritve Gospodu, svojemu Bogu od tega, kar me nič ne stane.« Tako je David kupil mlatišče in vole za petdeset šeklov srebra.
25 And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
David je tam zgradil oltar Gospodu in daroval žgalne daritve in mirovne daritve. Tako je bil Gospod izprošen za deželo in kuga se je ustavila pred Izraelom.
