Вторая книга Царств 24

1 И приложи Господь гневу разгоретися во Израили, и подвиже в них Давида, глаголя: иди и изочти Израиля и Иуду.

And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.

2 И рече царь ко Иоаву князю силы иже с ним: пройди ныне вся колена Израилева и Иудина, от Дана даже и до Вирсавии, и сочти люди, и да увем число людем.

For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and number all of you the people, that I may know the number of the people.

3 И рече Иоав ко царю: да приложит Господь Бог твой к людем твоим, якоже быти им сторицею, и очи господина моего царя да увидят: и господин мой царь почто помышляет о словеси сем?

And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD your God add unto the people, no matter how many they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?

4 И превозможе слово царево ко Иоаву и ко князем силы. И изыде Иоав и князи крепости пред царем сочести люди Израилевы.

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.

5 И преидоша Иордан, и ополчишася во Ароире одесную града иже посреде дебри Гад и Елиезер.

And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that lies in the midst of the river of Gad, and toward Jazer:

6 И приидоша в Галаад и в землю Фавасон и Истон и в Дасу, и внидоша в Данидан и обыдоша Сидон,

Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi; and they came to Danjaan, and about to Zidon,

7 и приидоша во Мапсар Тирский и во вся грады Евеины и в Хананеины, и идоша на юг Иуды в Вирсавию,

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 Beersheba.

8 и обыдоша всю землю, и приидоша во Иерусалим, скончавше девять месяц и двадесять дний.

So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

9 И даде Иоав число сочтеных людий царю: и бе Израиля числом осмь сот тысящ сильных держащих оружие, и мужей Иудиных пять сот тысящ мужей борцев.

And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto 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.

10 И убояся сердце Давидово по счислении людий, и рече Давид ко Господу: согреших зело, яко сотворих глагол сей: и ныне, Господи, отими беззаконие раба Твоего, яко обуях зело.

And David's heart stroke him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I plead to you, O LORD, take away the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.

11 И воста Давид заутра: и слово Господне бысть ко Гаду пророку прозорливцу, глаголя:

For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

12 иди и рцы Давиду, глаголя: тако глаголет Господь: трое Аз наведу на тя, и избери себе едино от сих, и сотворю ти.

Go and say unto David, Thus says the LORD, I offer you three things; choose you one of them, that I may do it unto you.

13 И вниде Гад к Давиду, и поведа, и рече ему: избери себе быти: или приидут тебе три лета глада на землю твою: или три месяцы бегати имаши пред враги твоими, и будут гоняще тя: или три дни быти смерти в земли твоей: ныне убо разумей и виждь, что отвещаю Пославшему мя.

So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto you in your land? or will you flee three months before your enemies, while they pursue you? or that there be three days' pestilence in your land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.

14 И рече Давид ко Гаду: тесна ми суть отвсюду зело три сия: да впаду убо в руце Господни, яко многи суть щедроты Его зело: в руце же человечи да не впаду. И избра себе Давид смерть и дни жатвенныя пшеницы.

And David said unto 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.

15 И даде Господь смерть во Израили от утра до часа обедняго, и начася язва быти в людех, и умроша от людий Господних от Дана и до Вирсавии седмьдесят тысящ мужей.

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 Beersheba seventy thousand men.

16 И простре Ангел Божий руку свою на Иерусалим погубити его, и раскаяся Господь о зле, и рече Ангелу погубляющему люди: доволно ныне, отими руку твою. И Ангел Господнь бе стоя пред гумном Орны Иевусеанина.

And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now your hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.

17 И рече Давид ко Господу, егда виде Ангела биюща люди, и рече: се, аз есмь согрешивый, аз есмь пастырь зло сотворивый, а сии овцы что сотвориша? Да будет ныне рука Твоя на мне и на дому отца моего.

And David spoke unto the LORD when he saw the angel that stroke the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let your hand, I pray you, be against me, and against my father's house.

18 И прииде Гад к Давиду в день той и рече ему: взыди, и постави Господеви олтарь на гумне Орны Иевусеанина.

And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

19 И взыде Давид по глаголу Гада пророка, имже образом заповеда ему Господь.

And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.

20 И преклонися Орна, и виде царя и отроки его восходящыя выше его, и изыде Орна, и поклонися царю на лицы своем на земли,

And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.

21 и рече Орна: что яко прииде господин мой царь к рабу своему? И рече Давид: купити у тебе гумно (приидох), на создание олтаря Господня, и престанет язва от людий.

And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing floor of you, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.

22 И рече Орна к Давиду: да приимет и вознесет господин мой царь Господу (Богу) еже благо пред очима его: се, волове во всесожжение, и колеса и сосуди волов на дрова.

And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.

23 Вся даде Орна царю. И рече Орна к царю: Господь Бог твой да благословит тя.

All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD your God accept you.

24 И рече царь ко Орне: ни, но токмо купуя куплю от тебе ценою, и не вознесу Господу Богу моему всесожжения туне. И купи Давид гумно и волы на пятидесяти сиклех сребра.

And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of you at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which does cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

25 И созда тамо Давид олтарь Господеви: и вознесе всесожжения и мирная. И приложи Соломон ко олтарю последи, зане мал бе прежде. И послуша Господь земли, и отят язву от Израиля.

And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was implored for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
