1ΚΑΙ ἔστη διάβολος ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐπέσεισε τὸν Δαυὶδ τοῦ ἀριθμῆσαι τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
1And Satan rose up against Israel: and moved David to number Israel.
2καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ἰωὰβ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῆς δυνάμεως· πορεύθητε, ἀριθμήσατε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ Βηρσαβεὲ καὶ ἕως Δὰν καὶ ἐνέγκατε πρός με, καὶ γνώσομαι τὸν ἀριθμὸν αὐτῶν.
2And David said to Joab, and to the rulers of the people: Go, and number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me the number of them that I may know it.
3καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωάβ· προσθείη Κύριος ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, ὡς αὐτοὶ ἑκατονταπλασίως, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως βλέποντες· πάντες τῷ κυρίῳ μου παῖδες· ἱνατί ζητεῖ κύριός μου τοῦτο; ἵνα μὴ γένηται εἰς ἁμαρτίαν τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
3And Joab answered: The Lord make his people a hundred times more than they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all thy servants: why doth my lord seek this thing, which may be imputed as a sin to Israel?
4τὸ δὲ ρῆμα τοῦ βασιλέως ἴσχυσεν ἐπὶ Ἰωάβ, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰωὰβ καὶ διῆλθεν ἐν παντὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
4But the king’s word rather prevailed: and Joab departed, and went through all Israel: and returned to Jerusalem.
5καὶ ἔδωκεν Ἰωὰβ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῆς ἐπισκέψεως τοῦ λαοῦ τῷ Δαυίδ, καὶ ἦν πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ χίλιαι χιλιάδες καὶ ἑκατὸν χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν ἐσπασμένων μάχαιραν καὶ υἱοὶ Ἰούδα τετρακόσιαι καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν ἐσπασμένων μάχαιραν.
5And he gave David the number of them, whom he had surveyed: and all the number of Israel was found to be eleven hundred thousand men that drew the sword: and of Juda four hundred and seventy thousand fighting men.
6καὶ τὸν Λευὶ καὶ τὸν Βενιαμὶν οὐκ ἠρίθμησεν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν, ὅτι κατίσχυσε λόγος τοῦ βασιλέως τὸν Ἰωάβ.
6But Levi and Benjamin he did not number: for Joab unwillingly executed the king’s orders.
7καὶ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ περὶ τοῦ πράγματος τούτου, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
7And God was displeased with this thing that was commanded: and he struck Israel.
8καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς τὸν Θεόν· ἡμάρτηκα σφόδρα, ὅτι ἐποίησα τὸ πρᾶγμα τοῦτο· καὶ νῦν περίελε δὴ τὴν κακίαν παιδός σου, ὅτι ἐματαιώθην σφόδρα.
8And David said to God: I have sinned exceedingly in doing this: I beseech thee take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done foolishly.
9καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Γὰδ τὸν ὁρῶντα λέγων·
9And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer of David, saying:
10πορεύου καὶ λάλησον πρὸς Δαυὶδ λέγων· οὕτω λέγει Κύριος· τρία αἱρῶ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σέ, ἔκλεξαι σεαυτῷ ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ ποιήσω σοι.
10Go, and speak to David, and tell him: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee the choice of three things: choose one which thou wilt, and I will do it to thee.
11καὶ ἦλθε Γὰδ πρὸς Δαυὶδ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· οὕτως λέγει Κύριος· ἔκλεξαι σεαυτῷ
11And when Gad was come to David, he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: choose which thou wilt:
12ἢ τρία ἔτη λιμοῦ, ἢ τρεῖς μῆνας φεύγειν σε ἐκ προσώπου ἐχθρῶν σου καὶ μάχαιραν ἐχθρῶν σου τοῦ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι, ἢ τρεῖς ἡμέρας ρομφαίαν Κυρίου καὶ θάνατον ἐν τῇ γῇ καὶ ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐξολοθρεύων ἐν πάσῃ κληρονομίᾳ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ νῦν ἰδὲ τί ἀποκριθῶ τῷ ἀποστείλαντί με λόγον.
12Either three years’ famine: or three months to flee from thy enemies, and not to be able to escape their sword: or three days to have the sword of the Lord, and pestilence in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying in all the coasts of Israel: now therefore see what I shall answer him who sent me.
13καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Γάδ· στενά μοι καὶ τὰ τρία σφόδρα· ἐμπεσοῦμαι δὴ εἰς χεῖρας Κυρίου, ὅτι πολλοὶ οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ σφόδρα, καὶ εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων οὐ μὴ ἐμπέσω.
13And David said to Gad: I am on every side in a great strait: but it is better for me to fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies are many, than into the hands of men.
14καὶ ἔδωκε Κύριος θάνατον ἐν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἔπεσον ἐξ Ἰσραὴλ ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν.
14So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel. And there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
15καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ Θεὸς ἄγγελον εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ τοῦ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι αὐτήν. καὶ ὡς ἐξωλόθρευσεν, εἶδε Κύριος καὶ μετεμελήθη ἐπὶ τῇ κακίᾳ καὶ εἶπε τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῷ ἐξολοθρεύοντι· ἱκανούσθω σοι, ἄνες τὴν χεῖρά σου· καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἑστὼς ἐν τῷ ἅλῳ Ὀρνὰ τοῦ Ἰεβουσαίου.
15And he sent an angel to Jerusalem, to strike it: and as he was striking it, the Lord beheld, and took pity for the greatness of the evil: and said to the angel that destroyed: It is enough, now stop thy hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the thrashing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16καὶ ἐπῇρε Δαυὶδ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶδε τὸν ἄγγελον Κυρίου ἑστῶτα ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς γῆς καὶ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἡ ρομφαία αὐτοῦ ἐσπασμένη ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ἐκτεταμένη ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἔπεσε Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι περιβεβλημένοι ἐν σάκκοις ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν.
16And David lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand, turned against Jerusalem: and both he and the ancients clothed in haircloth, fell down flat on the ground.
17καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς τὸν Θεόν· οὐκ ἐγὼ εἶπα τοῦ ἀριθμῆσαι ἐν τῷ λαῷ; καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἁμαρτών, κακοποιῶν ἐκακοποίησα, καὶ ταῦτα τὰ πρόβατα τί ἐποίησαν; Κύριε ὁ Θεός, γενηθήτω ἡ χείρ σου ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ μὴ ἐν τῷ λαῷ σου εἰς ἀπώλειαν, Κύριε.
17And David said to God: Am not I he that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned: it is I that have done the evil: but as for this flock, what hath it deserved? O Lord my God, let thy hand be turned, I beseech thee, upon me, and upon my father’s house: and let not thy people be destroyed.
18καὶ ἄγγελος Κυρίου εἶπε τῷ Γὰδ τοῦ εἰπεῖν πρὸς Δαυίδ, ἵνα ἀναβῇ τοῦ στῆσαι θυσιαστήριον Κυρίῳ ἐν ἅλῳ Ὀρνὰ τοῦ Ἰεβουσαίου.
18And the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to tell David, to go up, and build an altar to the Lord God in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19καὶ ἀνέβη Δαυὶδ κατὰ τὸν λόγον Γάδ, ὃν ἐλάλησεν ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου.
19And David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spoke to him in the name of the Lord.
20καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν Ὀρνὰ καὶ εἶδε τὸν βασιλέα καὶ τέσσαρας υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ μεθαχαβίν· καὶ Ὀρνὰ ἦν ἁλοῶν πυρούς.
20Now when Ornan looked up, and saw the angel, he and his four sons hid themselves: for at that time he was thrashing wheat in the floor.
21καὶ ἦλθε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ὀρνά, καὶ Ὀρνὰ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τῆς ἅλω καὶ προσεκύνησε τῷ Δαυὶδ τῷ προσώπῳ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
21And as David was coming to Ornan, Ornan saw him, and went out of the thrashingfloor to meet him, and bowed down to him with his face to the ground.
22καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ὀρνά· δός μοι τὸν τόπον σου τῆς ἅλω, καὶ οἰκοδομήσω ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ θυσιαστήριον τῷ Κυρίῳ· ἐν ἀργυρίῳ ἀξίῳ δός μοι αὐτόν, καὶ παύσεται ἡ πληγὴ ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ.
22And David said to him: Give me this place of thy thrashingfloor, that I may build therein an altar to the Lord: but thou shalt take of me as much money as it is worth, that the plague may cease from the people.
23καὶ εἶπεν Ὀρνὰ πρὸς Δαυίδ· λαβὲ σεαυτῷ, καὶ ποιησάτω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐναντίον ἑαυτοῦ· ἰδὲ δέδωκα τοὺς μόσχους εἰς ὁλοκαύτωσιν καὶ τὸ ἄροτρον εἰς ξύλα καὶ τὸν σῖτον εἰς θυσίαν, τὰ πάντα δέδωκα.
23And Ornan said to David: Take it, and let my lord the king do all that pleaseth him: and moreover the oxen also I give for a holocaust, and the drays for wood, and the wheat for the sacrifice: I will give it all willingly.
24καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ τῷ Ὀρνά· οὐχί, ὅτι ἀγοράζων ἀγοράσω ἐν ἀργυρίῳ ἀξίῳ, ὅτι οὐ μὴ λάβω ἅ ἐστί σοι Κυρίῳ τοῦ ἀνανέγκαι ὁλοκαύτωσιν δωρεὰν Κυρίῳ.
24And king David said to him: It shall not be so, but I will give thee money as much as it is worth: for I must not take it from thee, and so offer to the Lord holocausts free cost.
25καὶ ἔδωκε Δαυὶδ τῷ Ὀρνὰ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ αὐτοῦ σίκλους χρυσίου ὁλκῆς ἑξακοσίους.
25So David gave to Ornan for the place, six hundred sicles of gold of just weight.
26καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ Δαυὶδ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίῳ καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ σωτηρίου· καὶ ἐβόησε πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῷ ἐν πυρὶ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τῆς ὁλοκαυτώσεως καὶ κατηνάλωσε τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν.
26And he built there an altar to the Lord: and he offered holocausts, and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord, and he heard him by sending Are from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust.
27καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον, καὶ κατέθηκε τὴν ρομφαίαν εἰς τὸν κολεὸν αὐτῆς.
27And the Lord commanded the angel: and he put up his sword again into the sheath.
28ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν τὸν Δαυὶδ ὅτι ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῷ Κύριος ἐν ἅλῳ Ὀρνὰ τοῦ Ἰεβουσαίου, καὶ ἐθυσίασεν ἐκεῖ.
28And David seeing that the Lord had heard him in the thrashingfloor of Oman the Jebusite, forthwith offered victims there.
29καὶ σκηνὴ Κυρίου, ἣν ἐποίησε Μωυσῆς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ θυσιαστήριον τῶν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἐν Βαμὰ ἐν Γαβαών·
29But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, was at that time in the high place of Gabaon.
30καὶ οὐκ ἐδύνατο Δαυὶδ τοῦ πορευθῆναι ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ τοῦ ζητῆσαι τὸν Θεόν, ὅτι οὐ κατέσπευσεν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς ρομφαίας ἀγγέλου Κυρίου.
30And David could not go to the altar there to pray to God: for he was seized with an exceeding great fear, seeing the sword of the angel of the Lord.
