¹And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.

¹Ale satan povstal proti Izraelovi a naviedol Dávida, aby spočítal Izraela.

²And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.

²A Dávid povedal Joábovi a kniežatám ľudu: Iďte, spočítajte Izraela od Bér-šeby až po Dán a doneste ku mne, aby som vedel ich počet.

³And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?

³Ale Joáb riekol: Nech pridá Hospodin k svojmu ľudu sto ráz toľko, koľko ho je! Či azda, môj pán kráľ, nie sú všetci môjmu pánovi za služobníkov? Prečo to vyhľadáva môj pán? Prečo má byť na previnenie sa Izraelovi?!

⁴Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.

⁴Ale slovo kráľovo bolo pevné proti Joábovi. A tak vyšiel Joáb a pochodiac po celom Izraelovi prišiel do Jeruzalema.

⁵And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.

⁵A Joáb oddal Dávidovi počet spočítania ľudu. A bolo všetkého Izraela tisíc tisícov a sto tisíc mužov, súcich vytasiť meč, a Júdu bolo štyristo sedemdesiat tisíc mužov, súcich vytasiť meč.

⁶But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.

⁶Léviho a Benjamina nepočítal medzi nich, lebo ošklivé bolo slovo kráľovo u Joába.

⁷And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.

⁷A, pravda, neľúbil sa kráľ pre tú vec Bohu, a preto bil Izraela.

⁸And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

⁸Vtedy povedal Dávid Bohu: Zhrešil som veľmi, že som vykonal tú vec! A tak teraz prosím, ó, Hospodine, odním neprávosť svojho služobníka, lebo som urobil veľmi bláznivo.

⁹And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,

⁹A Hospodin hovoril Gádovi, vidiacemu Dávidovmu, a riekol:

¹⁰Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.

¹⁰Iď a hovor Dávidovi a povieš: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Troje ukladám na teba. Vyvoľ si jedno z nich, aby som ti ho učinil.

¹¹So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee

¹¹A tak prišiel Gád ku Dávidovi a riekol mu: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Vyber si:

¹²Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.

¹²či chceš tri roky hladu, či tri mesiace byť hubený od svojich protivníkov, a aby ťa stíhal meč tvojich nepriateľov, a či tri dni meč Hospodinov a mor v zemi, kým anjel Hospodinov bude hubiť po všetkých krajoch Izraelových? A tak teraz vidz, čo mám odpovedať tomu, ktorý ma poslal.

¹³And 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: but let me not fall into the hand of man.

¹³Vtedy povedal Dávid Gádovi: Je mi veľmi úzko. Nech, prosím, padnem do ruky Hospodinovej, lebo jeho milosrdenstvo je veľmi mnohé a veľké; ale nech nepadnem do ruky človeka.

¹⁴So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.

¹⁴A tak dal Hospodin mor na Izraela, a padlo z Izraela sedemdesiat tisíc mužov.

¹⁵And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

¹⁵Potom poslal Bôh anjela do Jeruzalema, aby ho hubil. A keď už hubil, pohliadol Hospodin, a bolo mu ľúto nad tým zlým, a preto riekol anjelovi, ktorý hubil: Už je dosť! Spusti svoju ruku! A anjel Hospodinov stál pri humne Ornána Jebuzejského.

¹⁶And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.

¹⁶A Dávid pozdvihol svoje oči a videl anjela Hospodinovho, ktorý stál medzi zemou a medzi nebom, a jeho vytasený meč v jeho ruke, vystretej na Jeruzalem. A Dávid padol i starší, odiati v smútočných vrecovinách, padli na svoju tvár.

¹⁷And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.

¹⁷A Dávid povedal Bohu: Či nie som to ja, ktorý som rozkázal spočítať ľud? A tedy ja som ten, ktorý som zhrešil a ktorý som preveľmi zle urobil, ale tieto ovce, čože tie urobily? Hospodine, môj Bože, nech je, prosím, tvoja ruka proti mne a proti domu môjho otca, ale nie proti tvojmu ľudu, aby bol bitý ranou.

¹⁸Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

¹⁸Vtedy riekol anjel Hospodinov Gádovi, aby povedal Dávidovi, aby vyšiel hore Dávid postaviť oltár Hospodinovi na humne Ornána Jebuzejského.

¹⁹And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the LORD.

¹⁹A tak vyšiel Dávid hore na slovo Gádovo, ktoré hovoril v mene Hospodinovom.

²⁰And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

²⁰A keď sa obrátil Ornán, videl anjela, a jeho štyria synovia, ktorí boli s ním sa skryli. A Ornán mlátil pšenicu.

²¹And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.

²¹A Dávid prišiel až k Ornánovi. A keď pozrel Ornán a uvidel Dávida, vyšiel z humna a poklonil sa Dávidovi tvárou k zemi.

²²Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.

²²Vtedy riekol Dávid Ornánovi: Daj mi miesto tohoto humna, aby som vystavil na ňom oltár Hospodinovi. Daj mi ho za toľko peňazí, koľko je hodno, aby bola zastavená rana zponad ľudu.

²³And 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 also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all.

²³Na to povedal Ornán Dávidovi: Vezmi si, a nech učiní môj pán kráľ to, čo je dobré v jeho očiach. Vidz, dávam voly na zápalnú obeť a mlatidlá na drevo a pšenicu na obilný dar obetný; to všetko dávam.

²⁴And 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 burnt offerings without cost.

²⁴Ale kráľ Dávid riekol Ornánovi: Nie tak, ale iba kúpim za toľko peňazí, koľko je to hodno. Lebo veď azda nevezmem toho, čo je tvoje, pre Hospodina, ani nebudem obetovať zápalnej obeti, ktorú by som dostal zadarmo!

²⁵So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.

²⁵A tedy dal Dávid Ornánovi za miesto zlatých šeklov váhy šesťsto.

²⁶And 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.

²⁶A Dávid tam postavil oltár Hospodinovi a obetoval zápalné obeti a pokojné obeti a volal na Hospodina, ktorý sa mu ohlásil ohňom z neba, soslaným na oltár zápalu.

²⁷And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.

²⁷A Hospodin riekol anjelovi, a ten dal svoj meč zpäť do pošvy.

²⁸At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.

²⁸Toho času, keď videl Dávid, že sa mu ohlásil Hospodin na humne Ornána Jebuzejského, obetoval tam bitné obeti.

²⁹For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon.

²⁹A svätopríbytok Hospodinov, ktorý bol učinil Mojžiš na púšti, aj oltár na zápaly bol toho času na výšine v Gibeone.

³⁰But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

³⁰A Dávid nemohol ísť predeň hľadať Boha, lebo sa desil pred mečom anjela Hospodinovho.
