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 the Lord caused his anger to burn forth again in Israel, and [Satan] stirred up David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Juda.

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.

And the king said to Joab commander of the host, who was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel and Juda, from Dan even to Bersabee, and number the people, and I will 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 to the king, Now may the Lord add to the people a hundred-fold as many as they are, and [may] the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king desire this thing?

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

Nevertheless the word of the king prevailed against Joab an the captains of the host: And Joab and the captains of the host went out before 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 went over Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right of the city which is in the midst of the valley of Gad and Eliezer.

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

And they came to Galaad, and into the land of Thabason, which is Adasai, and they came to Danidan and Udan, and compassed Sidon.

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

And they came to Mapsar of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Evite and the Chananite: and they came by the South of Juda to Bersabee.

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

And they compassed the whole land; and they arrived at 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 in the number of the census of the people to the king: and Israel consisted of eight hundred thousand men of might that drew sword; and the men of Juda, five hundred thousand fighting 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 the heart of David struck him after he had numbered the people; and David said to the Lord, I have sinned grievously, O Lord, [in] what I have now done: remove, I pray you, the iniquity of your servant, for I have been exceedingly foolish.

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

And David rose early in the morning, and the word of the Lord came to the prophet Gad, the seer, saying, Go, and speak to David, saying,

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

Thus says the Lord, I bring [one of] three things upon you: now choose you one of them, and I will do [it] to 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.

And Gad went in to David, and told him, and said to him, Choose [one of these things] to befall you, whether there shall come upon you [for] three years famine in your land; or that you should flee three months before your enemies, and they should pursue you; or that there should be [for] three days mortality in your land. Now then decide, 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 to Gad, On every side I am much straitened: let me fall now into the hands of the Lord, for his compassions [are] very many; and let me not fall into the hands 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 David chose for himself the mortality: and [they were] the days of wheat harvest; and the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from morning till noon, and the plague began among the people; and there died of the people from Dan even to Bersabee 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 the angel of the Lord stretched out his hand against Jerusalem to destroy it, and the Lord repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, [It is] enough now, withhold your hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of Orna 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 to the Lord when he saw the angel striking the people, and he said, Behold, it is I that have done wrong, but these sheep what have they done? Let your hand, I pray you, be upon me, and upon 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 to David in that day, and said to him, Go up, and set up to the Lord and altar in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.

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

And David went up according to the word of Gad, as the Lord commanded him.

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 Orna looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on before him: and Orna went forth, and did obeisance to the king with his face to the earth.

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 Orna said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? and David said, To buy of you the threshing floor, in order to build an altar to the Lord that the plague may be restrained from off 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 Orna said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer to the Lord that which is good in his eyes: behold, [here are] oxen for a whole burnt offering, and the wheels and furniture of the oxen for wood.

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

Orna gave all to the king: and Orna said to the king, The Lord your God bless 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 to Orna, Nay, but I will surely buy it of you at a fair price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God a whole burnt offering for nothing. So David purchased 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 to the Lord, and offered up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings: and Solomon made an addition to the altar afterwards, for it was little at first. And the Lord listened to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
