1 Kroniška 21
1 Satan je vstal zoper Izraela in spodbudil Davida, da prešteje Izraela.
Then Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel.
2 In David je rekel Joábu ter voditeljem ljudstva: »Pojdite, preštejte Izraela od Beeršéba celo do Dana in njihovo število prinesite k meni, da ga bom lahko vedel.«
So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, “Go and count the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan and bring me a report, so that I may know their number.”
3 Joáb je odgovoril: » Gospod naj naredi svoje ljudstvo stokrat tako številno, kot jih je, toda moj gospod kralj, ali niso vsi služabniki mojega gospoda? Zakaj potem moj gospod zahteva to stvar? Zakaj bo on razlog prekrška Izraelu?«
But Joab replied, “May the LORD multiply His troops a hundred times over. My lord the king, are they not all servants of my lord? Why does my lord want to do this? Why should he bring guilt on Israel?”
4 Kljub temu je kraljeva beseda prevladala proti Joábovi. Zato je Joáb odpotoval, šel skozi ves Izrael in prišel v Jeruzalem.
Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab. So Joab departed and traveled throughout Israel, and then he returned to Jerusalem.
5 Joáb je Davidu izročil vsoto ljudstva. In vseh iz Izraela je bilo milijon sto tisoč, ki so izdirali meč, in Juda je bilo štiristo sedemdeset tisoč mož, ki so izdirali meč.
And Joab reported to David the total number of the troops. In all Israel there were 1,100,000 men who drew the sword, including 470,000 in Judah.
6 Toda Lévijevce in Benjamina pa ni prištel mednje, kajti kraljeva beseda je bila Joábu gnusna.
But Joab did not include Levi and Benjamin in the count, because the king’s command was detestable to him.
7 Bog pa je bil razžaljen s to stvarjo, zato je udaril Izraela.
This command was also evil in the sight of God; so He struck Israel.
8 David je rekel Bogu: »Silno sem grešil, ker sem storil to stvar. Toda zdaj te rotim, odstrani krivičnost svojega služabnika, kajti storil sem zelo nespametno.«
Then David said to God, “I have sinned greatly because I have done this thing. Now I beg You to take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.”
9 Gospod je spregovoril Davidovemu vidcu Gadu:
And the LORD instructed Gad, David’s seer,
10 »Pojdi in povej Davidu, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Ponujam ti tri stvari. Izberi eno izmed njih, da ti jo bom lahko storil.‹«
“Go and tell David that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am offering you three options. Choose one of them, and I will carry it out against you.’”
11 Tako je Gad prišel k Davidu in mu rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Izberi si
So Gad went and said to David, “This is what the LORD says: ‘You must choose
12 ali tri leta lakote, ali tri mesece uničenja pred svojimi sovražniki, medtem ko te dohiteva meč tvojih sovražnikov, ali tri dni Gospodovega meča, celo kužne bolezni v deželi in uničevanje od Gospodovega angela po vseh Izraelovih pokrajinah. Sedaj si torej svetuj, kakšno besedo naj ponovno prinesem tistemu, ki me je poslal.‹«
between three years of famine, three months of being swept away before your enemies and overtaken by their swords, or three days of the sword of the LORD—days of plague upon the land, with the angel of the LORD ravaging every part of Israel.’ Now then, decide how I should reply to Him who sent me.”
13 David je rekel Gadu: »V veliki stiski sem. Naj torej padem v Gospodovo roko, kajti zelo velika so njegova usmiljenja, toda naj ne padem v roko človeka.«
David answered Gad, “I am deeply distressed. Please, let me fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men.”
14 Tako je Gospod nad Izrael poslal kužno bolezen in izmed Izraela je padlo sedemdeset tisoč mož.
So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell dead.
15 Bog je poslal angela k Jeruzalemu, da ga uniči. Medtem ko je ta uničeval, je Gospod opazoval, se pokesal od zla in rekel angelu, ki je uničeval: »Dovolj je, zadrži sedaj svojo roko.« In Gospodov angel je stal pri mlatišču Jebusejca Ornana.
Then God sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem, but as the angel was doing so, the LORD saw it and relented from the calamity, and He said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand now!” At that time the angel of the LORD was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 David je povzdignil svoje oči in zagledal Gospodovega angela stati med zemljo in nebom, ki je imel v svoji roki izvlečen meč, iztegnjen nad Jeruzalemom. Potem so David in starešine Izraela, ki so bili oblečeni v vrečevino, padli na svoje obraze.
When David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem, David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell facedown.
17 David pa je rekel Bogu: » Ali nisem to jaz, ki sem zapovedal, da se ljudstvo prešteje? Celo jaz sem ta, ki je grešil in zares storil zlo. Toda kar se tiče teh ovc, kaj so te storile? Naj bo tvoja roka, prosim te, oh Gospod, moj Bog, na meni in na hiši mojega očeta, toda ne na tvojem ljudstvu, da bi bili trpinčeni.«
And David said to God, “Was it not I who gave the order to count the people? I am the one who has sinned and acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? O LORD my God, please let Your hand fall upon me and my father’s house, but do not let this plague remain upon Your people.”
18 Potem je Gospodov angel zapovedal Gadu, da reče Davidu, naj gre David gor in postavi oltar Gospodu na mlatišču Jebusejca Ornana.
Then the angel of the LORD ordered Gad to tell David to go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 David je na Gadovo besedo, ki jo je govoril v Gospodovem imenu, odšel gor.
So David went up at the word that Gad had spoken in the name of the LORD.
20 Ornan pa se je obrnil in zagledal angela in njegovi štirje sinovi so se z njim vred skrili. Torej Ornan je mlatil pšenico.
Now Ornan was threshing wheat when he turned and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves.
21 Ko je David prišel k Ornanu, je Ornan pogledal in zagledal Davida in šel ven iz mlatišča in se pripognil k Davidu s svojim obrazom do tal.
David came to Ornan, and when Ornan looked out and saw David, he left the threshing floor and bowed facedown before David.
22 Potem je David rekel Ornanu: »Zagotovi mi prostor tega mlatišča, da bom na njem lahko zgradil oltar Gospodu. Zagotovil mi ga boš za polno ceno, da bo nadloga lahko ustavljena pred ljudstvom.«
Then David said to Ornan, “Grant me the site of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar to the LORD. Sell it to me for the full price, so that the plague upon the people may be halted.”
23 Ornan je rekel Davidu: »Vzemi to k sebi in naj moj gospod kralj stori to, kar je dobro v njegovih očeh. Glej, dam ti tudi vola za žgalne daritve, mlatilne priprave za les in pšenico za jedilno daritev; vse to dam.«
Ornan said to David, “My lord the king may take whatever seems good. Look, I will give the oxen for the burnt offerings, the threshing sledges for the wood, and the wheat for the grain offering—I will give it all.”
24 Kralj David je rekel Ornanu: »Ne, temveč bom to resnično kupil za polno ceno, kajti ne bom vzel tega, kar je tvoje, za Gospoda niti žgalne daritve daroval brez stroška.«
“No,” replied King David, “I insist on paying the full price, for I will not take for the LORD what belongs to you, nor will I offer burnt offerings that cost me nothing.”
25 Tako je David dal Ornanu za prostor šeststo šeklov zlata po teži.
So David paid Ornan six hundred shekels of gold for the site.
26 David je tam zgradil oltar Gospodu in daroval žgalne daritve in mirovne daritve in klical h Gospodu in ta mu je iz nebes odgovoril z ognjem na oltar žgalne daritve.
And there he built an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. He called upon the LORD, who answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.
27 Gospod je zapovedal angelu in ta je svoj meč ponovno vtaknil v svojo nožnico.
Then the LORD spoke to the angel, who put his sword back into its sheath.
28 V tistem času, ko je David videl, da mu je Gospod odgovoril na mlatišču Jebusejca Ornana, potem je tam žrtvoval.
At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there.
29 Kajti Gospodovo šotorsko svetišče, ki ga je Mojzes naredil v divjini in oltar žgalne daritve sta bila v tem obdobju na visokem kraju pri Gibeónu.
For the tabernacle of the LORD that Moses had made in the wilderness and the altar of burnt offering were presently at the high place in Gibeon,
30 Toda David ni mogel iti predenj, da bi povprašal od Boga, kajti bal se je zaradi meča Gospodovega angela.
but David could not go before it to inquire of God, because he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
