1 ULB Novamente, a ira de Yahweh se acendeu contra Israel, e incitou Davi contra eles, dizendo: "Vai, faz a contagem em Israel e Judá". BSB BSB: Again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He stirred up David against them, saying, “Go and take a census of Israel and Judah.”
2 ULB O rei disse a Joabe, comandante do exército, que estava com ele: "Vai, a todas as tribos de Israel, desde Dã até Berseba e conta todo o povo, assim, saberás o número total de homens capacitados para a batalha". BSB BSB: So the king said to Joab the commander of his army, who was with him, “Go now throughout the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba and register the troops, so that I may know their number.”
3 ULB Joabe disse ao rei: "Pode, Yaweh, seu Deus, multiplicar cem vezes o número de pessoas e podem os olhos do meu senhor, o rei, ver isto acontecer. Porém, por que meu rei quer isto?". BSB BSB: But Joab replied to the king, “May the LORD your God multiply the troops a hundred times over, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king want to do such a thing?”
4 ULB Mesmo assim, a palavra do rei foi contra Joabe e contra os comandantes do exército. Então, Joabe e os comandantes saíram da presença do rei para contar o povo. BSB BSB: Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders of the army departed from the presence of the king to register the troops of Israel.
5 ULB Eles atravessaram o Jordão e acamparam perto de Aroer, num vale ao sul da cidade. Viajaram por Gade até Jazer. BSB BSB: They crossed the Jordan and camped near Aroer, south of the town in the middle of the valley, and proceeded toward Gad and Jazer.
6 ULB Foram a Gileade e para a terra de Cades dos heteus, e depois dali, foram para Da-Jaã e rodearam até Sidom. BSB BSB: Then they went to Gilead and the land of Tahtim-hodshi, and on to Dan-jaan and around to Sidon.
7 ULB Depois, foram à fortaleza de Tiro e a todas cidades de dos heveus e dos cananeus; foram a Berseba, ao sul de Judá. BSB BSB: They went toward the fortress of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and Canaanites. Finally, they went on to the Negev of Judah, to Beersheba.
8 ULB Quando eles passaram por toda a terra, voltaram para Jerusalém ao final de nove meses e vinte dias. BSB BSB: At the end of nine months and twenty days, having gone through the whole land, they returned to Jerusalem.
9 ULB Então, Joabe apresentou ao rei o total da contagem dos guerreiros. Havia ali oitocentos mil homens valentes que usavam a espada, e quinhentos mil em Judá. BSB BSB: And Joab reported to the king the total number of the troops. In Israel there were 800,000 men of valor who drew the sword, and in Judah there were 500,000.
10 ULB Então, o coração de Davi se entristeceu depois de ter feito a contagem. Ele disse a Yahweh: "Pequei gravemente por fazer isto. Agora, Yahweh, retira a culpa do Teu servo, porque agi mui loucamente". BSB BSB: After David had numbered the troops, his conscience was stricken and he said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. Now, O LORD, I beg You to take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.”
11 ULB Quando Davi se levantou pela manhã, a palavra de Yahweh veio ao profeta Gade, vidente de Davi, dizendo: BSB BSB: When David got up in the morning, the word of the LORD had come to Gad the prophet, David’s seer:
12 ULB "Vai e diz a Davi: 'Assim diz Yahweh: Te dou três escolhas: escolhe uma delas'". BSB BSB: “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.’”
13 ULB Então, Gade foi a Davi e lhe disse: "Prefere três anos de fome na tua terra? Ou, três meses de perseguição dos teus inimigos? Ou, três dias de peste na tua terra? Decide qual é a responda que vou dizer a quem me enviou". BSB BSB: So Gad went and said to David, “Do you choose to endure three years of famine in your land, three months of fleeing the pursuit of your enemies, or three days of plague upon your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should reply to Him who sent me.”
14 ULB Então, disse Davi a Gade: "Estou com um grande problema. Deixa que caiamos nas mãos de Yahweh, melhor que nas mãos dos homens, porque Suas misericórdias são muitas". BSB BSB: David answered Gad, “I am deeply distressed. Please, let us fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men.”
15 ULB Então, Yahweh enviou a peste sobre Israel de manhã até o tempo determinado, e morreram setenta mil homens do povo desde Dã até Berseba. BSB BSB: So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel from that morning until the appointed time, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died.
16 ULB Quando o anjo estendeu a sua mão sobre Jerusalém para a destruir, Yahweh se arrependeu, por causa do prejuízo que iria causar, e disse ao anjo que estava destruindo o povo: "Basta! Agora, retira tua mão". Naquela hora, o Anjo de Yahweh estava ao longo da eira de Araúna, o jebuseu. BSB BSB: But when the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the LORD relented from the calamity and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand now!” At that time the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
17 ULB Davi falou a Yahweh, quando viu o anjo que havia atacado o povo, e disse: "Pequei e agi irresponsavelmente. Mas estas ovelhas o que fizeram? Por favor, castiga a mim e a família do meu pai!". BSB BSB: When David saw the angel striking down the people, he said to the LORD, “Surely I, the shepherd, have sinned and acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Please, let Your hand fall upon me and my father’s house.”
18 ULB Então, naquele dia, Gade veio a Davi e lhe disse: "Vai e levanta um altar para Yahweh na eira de Araúna, o jebuseu". BSB BSB: And that day Gad came to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
19 ULB Então, Davi fez conforme Gade lhe instruiu, assim como Yahweh ordenara. BSB BSB: So David went up at the word of Gad, just as the LORD had commanded.
20 ULB Araúna viu o rei e seus soldados se aproximando, então, saiu e se prostrou ao rei com seu rosto ao chão. BSB BSB: When Araunah looked out and saw the king and his servants coming toward him, he went out and bowed facedown before the king.
21 ULB Então, disse Araúna: "Por que veio o rei, meu senhor, a teu servo?". Davi respondeu: "Para comprar a tua eira, assim poderei levantar um altar para Yahweh, para que a peste seja removida do povo". BSB BSB: “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” Araunah said. “To buy your threshing floor,” David replied, “that I may build an altar to the LORD, so that the plague upon the people may be halted.”
22 ULB Araúna disse a Davi: "Toma-a como tua propriedade, meu senhor e rei; faz com ela o que bem lhe parecer. Vê, aqui estão os bois para oferecer, e o debulhador e a madeira para lenha. BSB BSB: Araunah said to David, “May my lord the king take whatever seems good to him and offer it up. Here are the oxen for a burnt offering and the threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood.
23 ULB Tudo isto, meu rei, eu, Araúna, darei a ti". Então, ele disse ao rei: Yahweh, teu Deus, se agrade de ti". BSB BSB: O king, Araunah gives all these to the king.” He also said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.”
24 ULB O rei disse a Araúna: "Não, insisto em comprar pelo seu valor. Não oferecerei a Yahweh holocausto que não me custou nada". Assim, Davi comprou a eira e os bois por cinquenta ciclos de prata. BSB BSB: “No,” replied the king, “I insist on paying a price, for I will not offer to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25 ULB Davi construiu o altar a Yahweh e ofereceu o holocausto e a oferta queimada. Assim, Yahweh tornou favorável para com terra, e a peste parou em Israel. BSB BSB: And there he built an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Then the LORD answered the prayers on behalf of the land, and the plague upon Israel was halted.
