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

¹A opät zahorel hnev Hospodinov na Izraela. Lebo satan naviedol Dávida na nich povediac: Idi, spočítaj Izraela i Júdu!

²And the king said to Joab the captain of the host, who was with him, Go, I pray thee, through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and count the people, that I may know the number of the people.

²Preto povedal kráľ Joábovi, veliteľovi vojska, ktorý bol u neho: Nože pochoď po všetkých pokoleniach Izraelových od Dána až po Béršebu a spočítajte ľud, aby som vedel počet ľudu.

³And Joab said to the king, May Jehovah thy God even add to the people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see [it]; but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?

³A Joáb povedal kráľovi: Ale nech pridá Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, k ľudu sto ráz toľko, koľko len koľvek ho je, a oči môjho pána kráľa nech to vidia. Ale prečo má môj pán kráľ záľubu v tejto veci?

⁴But the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the army. And Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel.

⁴Avšak slovo kráľovo bolo pevné voči Joábovi i proti iným veliteľom vojska. A tak vyšiel Joáb i velitelia vojska zpred kráľa, aby spočítali ľud, Izraela.

⁵And they passed over the Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the midst of the ravine of Gad, and toward Jaazer.

⁵A prepraviac sa cez Jordán položili sa táborom v Aroere po pravej strane mesta, ktoré leží prostred doliny potoka Gádovho a pri Jazere.

⁶And they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and came to Dan-jaan, and to the environs of Sidon;

⁶Potom prišli do Gileáda a do zeme Tachtím-chodší, odkiaľ prišli do Dánjaana a naokolo k Sidonu.

⁷and they came to the fortified city of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites; and went out to the south of Judah, to Beer-sheba.

⁷A prišli k pevnosti Týru a do všetkých miest Hevejov a Kananejov a odtiaľ vyšli na juh do zeme Júdovej, do Bér-šeby.

⁸And they went through all the land, and came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

⁸A tak pochodili celú zem a prišli po deviatich mesiacoch a po dvadsiatich dňoch do Jeruzalema.

⁹And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to the king; and there were of Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.

⁹A Joáb oddal počet sčítania ľudu kráľovi. A bolo Izraela osemsto tisíc silných mužov, súcich tasiť mečom, a mužov Júdových bolo päťsto tisíc mužov.

¹⁰And David's heart smote him after he had numbered the people. And David said to Jehovah, I have sinned greatly in what I have done; and now, I beseech thee, Jehovah, put away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

¹⁰Ale potom, keď už bol spočítal ľud, bilo srdce Dávidovo jeho, Dávida. A Dávid povedal Hospodinovi: Zhrešil som veľmi, že som to urobil. A tak teraz, ó, Hospodine, prosím, odním neprávosť svojho služobníka, lebo som urobil veľmi bláznivo.

¹¹And when David arose in the morning, the word of Jehovah came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

¹¹A keď vstal Dávid ráno, stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo k prorokovi Gádovi, vidiacemu Dávidovmu, povediac:

¹²Go and say to David, Thus saith Jehovah: I impose on thee three [things]; choose one of them that I may do it unto thee.

¹²Iď a budeš hovoriť Dávidovi: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Troje ukladám na teba. Vyvoľ si jedno z nich, aby som ti ho učinil.

¹³And Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, Shall seven years of famine come to thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine adversaries while they pursue thee? or shall there be three days' pestilence in thy land? Now be aware and consider what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.

¹³A tak prišiel Gád ku Dávidovi a oznámil mu a riekol mu: Či ti má prijsť sedem rokov hladu vo tvojej zemi, alebo či chceš za tri mesiace utekať pred svojimi protivníkmi, a on, protivník, aby ťa honil, a či aby bol za tri dni mor v tvojej zemi? Teraz si rozmysli a vidz, čo mám odpovedať tomu, ktorý ma poslal.

¹⁴And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah; for his mercies are great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.

¹⁴A Dávid povedal Gádovi: Úzko mi je veľmi. Nech upadneme, prosím, do ruky Hospodinovej, lebo jeho milosrdenstvo je mnohé a veľké, ale nech neupadnem do ruky človeka.

¹⁵And Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the set time; and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.

¹⁵A tak dal Hospodin mor na Izraela od rána až do uloženého času. A zomrelo z ľudu od Dána až po Bér-šebu sedemdesiat tisíc mužov.

¹⁶And the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it; but Jehovah repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed among the people, It is enough: withdraw now thine hand. And the angel of Jehovah was by the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

¹⁶A keď vystrel anjel svoju ruku na Jeruzalem, aby ho hubil, ľutoval Hospodin toho zlého a riekol anjelovi, ktorý hubil medzi ľudom: Dosť je! Teraz už spusti svoju ruku. A anjel Hospodinov bol pri humne Aravnu Jebuzejského.

¹⁷And David spoke to Jehovah when he saw the angel that smote among the people, and said, Behold, it is I that have sinned, and it is I that have committed iniquity; but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, be on me, and on my father's house!

¹⁷A Dávid povedal Hospodinovi, keď uvidel anjela, ktorý bil medzi ľudom, a riekol: Hľa, ja som zhrešil a ja som sa dopustil neprávosti, ale tieto ovce, čo že tie urobily?! Nech je, prosím, tvoja ruka proti mne a proti domu môjho otca.

¹⁸And Gad came that day to David, and said to him, Go up, rear an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

¹⁸A Gád prišiel k Dávidovi toho dňa a riekol mu: Iď hore a postav Hospodinovi oltár na humne Aravnu Jebuzejského.

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

¹⁹A tak odišiel Dávid hore podľa slova Gádovho, tak, ako prikázal Hospodin.

²⁰And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on towards him; and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

²⁰A Aravna hľadiac z domu videl kráľa a jeho služobníkov, že idú k nemu, a preto vyšiel Aravna a poklonil sa kráľovi svojou tvárou k zemi.

²¹And Araunah said, Why is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar to Jehovah, that the plague may be stayed from the people.

²¹Aravna povedal: Prečo prišiel môj pán kráľ k svojmu služobníkovi? A Dávid riekol: Kúpiť od teba humno a postaviť na ňom Hospodinovi oltár, aby bola zastavená rana a sňatá s ľudu.

²²And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer up that which is good in his sight: see, [here are] oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-sledges and implements of the oxen for wood.

²²A Aravna povedal Dávidovi: Nech vezme a nech obetuje môj pán kráľ to, čo sa mu vidí za dobré. Vidz, tu voly na zápalnú obeť a mlatidlá a správa pre voly na drevo.

²³All these things, O king, doth Araunah give to the king. And Araunah said to the king, Jehovah thy God accept thee.

²³To všetko dával kráľ Aravna kráľovi. A Aravna povedal kráľovi: Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, nech si ťa obľúbi!

²⁴And the king said to Araunah, No; but I will in any case buy [them] of thee at a price: neither will I offer up to Jehovah my God burnt-offerings without cost. And David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

²⁴Ale kráľ riekol Aravnovi: Nie, ale iba kúpim od teba a zaplatím a nebudem obetovať Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu, zápalných obetí, daných darom. A tak kúpil Dávid humno i voly za päťdesiat šeklov striebra.

²⁵And David built there an altar to Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. And Jehovah was propitious to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

²⁵A Dávid tam postavil Hospodinovi oltár a obetoval zápalné obeti i pokojné obeti. A Hospodin sa dal uprosiť zemi, a zastavená bola rana a sňatá s Izraela.
