¹And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.

¹In srd GOSPODOV se je zopet vnel zoper Izraelce, in izpodbodel je Davida zoper nje, rekoč: Pojdi, seštej Izraela in Judo.

²For 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 ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.

²In kralj reče Joabu, poveljniku vojske, ki je bil pri njem: Prehodi, prosim, vse rodove Izraelove, od Dana do Bersebe, in preštejte ljudstvo, da bi vedel število ljudstva.

³And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?

³In Joab reče kralju: Naj prida GOSPOD, Bog tvoj, k ljudstvu, kolikorkoli ga je, še stokrat toliko, dokler to vidijo oči GOSPODA mojega, kralja! Ali zakaj to veseli gospoda mojega, kralja?

⁴Notwithstanding 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.

⁴Toda beseda kraljeva je obveljala zoper Joaba in zoper poveljnike vojske. In odidejo Joab in poveljniki vojske od obličja kraljevega, da preštejejo ljudstvo Izraelovo.

⁵And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that lieth in the midst of the river of Gad, and toward Jazer:

⁵In šli so čez Jordan in se utaborili v Aroerju, na desno ob mestu, ki je sredi doline Gadove, in proti Jazerju.

⁶Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi; and they came to Danjaan, and about to Zidon,

⁶Potem so prišli v Gilead in v pokrajino Tahtim-hodši; in prišli so v Danjaan in v okolico Sidonsko,

⁷And 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.

⁷in dospeli so k utrjenemu mestu Tiru in k vsem mestom Hevejcev in Kanaancev ter šli potem v južno stran Judovo, proti Bersebi.

⁸So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

⁸In prehodili so vso deželo in prišli v Jeruzalem ob koncu devetih mesecev in dvajsetih dni.

⁹And 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.

⁹In Joab je dal število preštetega ljudstva kralju; in bilo je v Izraelu osemsto tisoč vojakov, ki so izdirali meč, in v Judi petsto tisoč mož.

¹⁰And David's heart smote 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 beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

¹⁰A Davidu je očitalo srce, potem ko je bil seštel ljudstvo. In reče David GOSPODU: Hudo sem grešil s tem, kar sem storil; ali sedaj, o GOSPOD, odpravi hlapca svojega krivico, kajti ravnal sem zelo nespametno.

¹¹For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

¹¹In ko vstane David zjutraj, pride beseda GOSPODOVA k proroku Gadu, vidcu Davidovemu, govoreč:

¹²Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.

¹²Pojdi in veli Davidu: Tako pravi GOSPOD: Troje ti ponujam, izberi si eno, da naj ti storim.

¹³So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.

¹³Pride torej Gad k Davidu in mu pove ter mu reče: Ali naj ti pride sedem let lakote v deželo tvojo? Ali hočeš tri mesece bežati pred nasprotniki svojimi, da te oni podijo? Ali naj razsaja tri dni kuga v deželi tvoji? Sedaj pa premisli in poglej, kakšen odgovor naj dam njemu, ki me je poslal.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁴In David reče Gadu: V stiski sem veliki! Naj rajši pademo v roko GOSPODOVO, kajti usmiljenje njegovo je veliko, in nikar naj ne padem v roko človeško!

¹⁵So 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.

¹⁵In GOSPOD je poslal kugo nad Izraela od jutra do določenega časa; in pomrlo je iz ljudstva od Dana do Bersebe sedemdeset tisoč ljudi.

¹⁶And 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 thine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.

¹⁶In ko iztegne angel roko proti Jeruzalemu, da ga pogubi, je bilo žal GOSPODU hudega in veli angelu, ki je pokončeval ljudstvo: Dosti je, odtegni zdaj roko svojo! In angel GOSPODOV je bil pri gumnu Aravna Jebusejca.

¹⁷And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.

¹⁷In David reče GOSPODU, ko je videl angela, ki je pobijal ljudstvo: Glej, jaz sem grešil in jaz sem ravnal popačeno, te ovce pa, kaj so storili? Roka tvoja bodi, prosim, zoper mene in zoper očeta mojega hišo!

¹⁸And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.

¹⁸In Gad pride tisti dan k Davidu in mu reče: Pojdi gori, zgradi oltar GOSPODU na gumnu Aravna Jebusejca.

¹⁹And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.

¹⁹In David je šel gori po besedi Gadovi, kakor je ukazal GOSPOD.

²⁰And 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.

²⁰In Aravna se ozre in zagleda kralja in služabnike njegove, da gredo proti njemu; in Aravna izide in se prikloni kralju z obrazom do tal.

²¹And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.

²¹In Aravna reče: Zakaj je prišel gospod moj, kralj, k hlapcu svojemu? David pa reče: Kupiti hočem gumno od tebe, da zgradim oltar GOSPODU, da neha kuga med ljudstvom.

²²And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.

²²In Aravna reče Davidu: Vzame naj gospod moj, kralj, in daruje, kar se mu vidi dobro: glej, tu so voli za žgalno daritev in mlatilnice in oprava volovska za drva.

²³All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.

²³Vse to, o kralj, Aravna pokloni kralju. Še reče Aravna kralju: GOSPOD, Bog tvoj, te milo sprejmi!

²⁴And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

²⁴A kralj reče Aravnu: Nikar, ampak res hočem to kupiti od tebe za ceno, ker nočem darovati žgalnih daritev GOSPODU, Bogu svojemu, ki bi jih brez stroškov imel. Kupil je torej David gumno in vole za petdeset seklov srebra.In David je ondi zgradil oltar GOSPODU ter daroval žgalne in mirovne daritve. In GOSPOD se je dal izprositi za deželo, in kuga je nehala med Izraelom.

²⁵And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

²⁵In David je ondi zgradil oltar GOSPODU ter daroval žgalne in mirovne daritve. In GOSPOD se je dal izprositi za deželo, in kuga je nehala med Izraelom.
