1 Kroniška 21
1 Satan je vstal zoper Izraela in spodbudil Davida, da prešteje Izraela.
And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number 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.«
And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people: 'Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them.'
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?«
And Joab said: 'The LORD make His people a hundred times so many more as they are; but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt unto 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. Wherefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel, and came 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 gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men that drew sword; and Judah was four hundred three-score and ten thousand men that drew sword.
6 Toda Lévijevce in Benjamina pa ni prištel mednje, kajti kraljeva beseda je bila Joábu gnusna.
But Levi and Benjamin he did not number among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
7 Bog pa je bil razžaljen s to stvarjo, zato je udaril Izraela.
And God was displeased with this thing; therefore He smote 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.«
And David said unto God: 'I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing; but now, put away, I beseech Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.'
9 Gospod je spregovoril Davidovemu vidcu Gadu:
And the LORD spoke unto Gad, David's seer, saying:
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 speak unto David, saying: Thus saith the LORD: I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.'
11 Tako je Gad prišel k Davidu in mu rekel: »Tako govori Gospod: ›Izberi si
So Gad came to David, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD: Take which thou wilt:
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.‹«
either three years of famine; or three months to be swept away before thy foes, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to Him that 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.«
And David said unto Gad: 'I am in a great strait; let me fall now into the hand of the LORD, for very great are His mercies; and let me not fall into the hand of man.'
14 Tako je Gospod nad Izrael poslal kužno bolezen in izmed Izraela je padlo sedemdeset tisoč mož.
So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
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.
And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it; and as he was about to destroy, the LORD beheld, and He repented Him of the evil, and said to the destroying angel: 'It is enough; now stay thy hand.' And 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.
And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD standing between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
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 unto God: 'Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? let Thy hand, I pray Thee, O LORD my God, be against me, and against my father's house; but not against Thy people, that they should be plagued.'
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 commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 David je na Gadovo besedo, ki jo je govoril v Gospodovem imenu, odšel gor.
And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke 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.
And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons that were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
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.
And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed down to David with his face to the ground.
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: 'Give me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar unto the LORD; for the full price shalt thou give it me; that the plague may be stayed from the people.'
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.«
And Ornan said unto David: 'Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes; lo, I give thee the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing-instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal-offering; I 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.«
And king David said to Ornan: 'Nay, but I will verily buy it for the full price; for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer a burnt-offering without cost.'
25 Tako je David dal Ornanu za prostor šeststo šeklov zlata po teži.
So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
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 David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon the LORD; and He answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.
27 Gospod je zapovedal angelu in ta je svoj meč ponovno vtaknil v svojo nožnico.
And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword back into the sheath thereof.
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 in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed 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, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at 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; for he was terrified because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
