King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
1ΚΑΙ προσέθετο ὀργὴν Κύριος ἐκκαῆναι ἐν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπέσεισε τὸν Δαυὶδ ἐν αὐτοῖς λέγων· βάδιζε, ἀρίθμησον τὸν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ τὸν Ἰούδαν.
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 Beer-sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.
2καὶ εἶπεν ὀ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Ἰωὰβ ἄρχοντα τῆς ἰσχύος τὸν μετ' αὐτοῦ· δίελθε δὴ πάσας φυλὰς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα, ἀπὸ Δὰν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ καὶ ἐπίσκεψαι τὸν λαόν, καὶ γνώσομαι τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ λαοῦ.
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?
3καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωὰβ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· καὶ προσθείη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν ὥσπερ αὐτοὺς καὶ ὥσπερ αὐτοὺς ἑκατονταπλασίονα, καὶ ὀφθαλμοὶ τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως ὁρῶντες· καὶ ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς ἱνατί βούλεται ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ;
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.
4καὶ ὑπερίσχυσεν ὀ λόγος τοῦ βασιλέως πρὸς Ἰωὰβ καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῆς δυνάμεως. καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰωὰβ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς ἰσχύος ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπισκέψασθαι τὸν λαὸν τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
5¶ And 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:
5καὶ διέβησαν τὸν Ἰορδάνην καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν Ἀροὴρ ἐκ δεξιῶν τῆς πόλεως τῆς ἐν μέσῳ τῆς φάραγγος Γὰδ καὶ Ἐλιέζερ.
6Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and about to Zidon,
6καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Γαλαὰδ καὶ εἰς γῆν Θαβασών, ἥ ἐστιν Ἀδασαί, καὶ παρεγένοντο εἰς Δανιδὰν καὶ Οὐδὰν καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν εἰς Σιδῶνα.
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 Beer-sheba.
7καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Μάψαρ Τύρου καὶ εἰς πάσας τὰς πόλεις τοῦ Εὐαίου καὶ τοῦ Χαναναίου καὶ ἦλθαν κατὰ νότον Ἰούδα εἰς Βηρσαβεὲ
8So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
8καὶ περιώδευσαν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ καὶ παρεγένοντο ἀπὸ τέλους ἐννέα μηνῶν καὶ εἴκοσιν ἡμερῶν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
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.
9καὶ ἔδωκεν Ἰωὰβ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῆς ἐπισκέψεως τοῦ λαοῦ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἐγένετο Ἰσραὴλ ὀκτακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν δυνάμεως σπωμένων ρομφαίαν καὶ ἀνὴρ Ἰούδα πεντακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν μαχητῶν.
10¶ And 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.
10καὶ ἐπάταξε καρδία Δαυὶδ αὐτὸν μετὰ τὸ ἀριθμῆσαι τὸν λαόν, καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Κύριον· ἥμαρτον σφόδρα, ὃ ἐποίησα νῦν, Κύριε· παραβίβασον δὴ τὴν ἀνομίαν τοῦ δούλου σου, ὅτι ἐμωράνθην σφόδρα.
11For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,
11καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ τὸ πρωΐ. καὶ λόγος Κυρίου ἐγένετο πρὸς Γὰδ τὸν προφήτην τὸν ὁρῶντα λέγων·
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.
12πορεύθητι καὶ λάλησον πρὸς Δαυὶδ λέγων· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· τρία ἐγώ εἰμι αἴρω ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ ἔκλεξαι σεαυτῷ ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ ποιήσω σοι.
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.
13καὶ εἰσῆλθε Γὰδ πρὸς Δαυὶδ καὶ ἀνήγγειλε καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἔκλεξαι σεαυτῷ γενέσθαι, εἰ ἔλθῃ σοι τρία ἔτη λιμὸς ἐν τῇ γῇ σου, ἢ τρεῖς μῆνας φεύγειν σε ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου καὶ ἔσονται διώκοντές σε, ἢ γενέσθαι τρεῖς ἡμέρας θάνατον ἐν τῇ γῇ σου· νῦν οὖν γνῶθι καὶ ἰδὲ τί ἀποκριθῶ τῷ ἀποστείλαντί με ρῆμα.
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.
14καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Γάδ· στενά μοι πάντοθεν σφόδρα ἐστίν· ἐμπεσοῦμαι δὴ εἰς χεῖρας Κυρίου, ὅτι πολλοὶ οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ σφόδρα, εἰς δὲ χεῖρας ἀνθρώπου οὐ μὴ ἐμπέσω·
15¶ So 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 Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.
15καὶ ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ Δαυὶδ τὸν θάνατον. καὶ ἡμέραι θερισμοῦ πυρῶν, καὶ ἔδωκε Κύριος θάνατον ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ πρωΐθεν ἕως ὥρας ἀρίστου, καὶ ἤρξατο ἡ θραῦσις ἐν τῷ λαῷ, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ ἀπὸ Δὰν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν.
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.
16καὶ ἐξέτεινεν ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ Θεοῦ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ τοῦ διαφθεῖραι αὐτήν, καὶ παρεκλήθη Κύριος ἐπὶ τῇ κακίᾳ καὶ εἶπε τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῷ διαφθείροντι ἐν τῷ λαῷ· πολὺ νῦν, ἄνες τὴν χεῖρά σου· καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἦν παρὰ τῇ ἅλῳ Ὀρνὰ τοῦ Ἰεβουσαίου.
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.
17καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Κύριον ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν τὸν ἄγγελον τὸν τύπτοντα ἐν τῷ λαῷ καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ εἰμι ἠδίκησα καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ἐκακοποίησα, καὶ οὗτοι τὰ πρόβατα τί ἐποίησαν; γενέσθω δὴ ἡ χείρ σου ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός μου.
18¶ And 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.
18καὶ ἦλθε Γὰδ πρὸς Δαυὶδ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀνάβηθι καὶ στῆσον τῷ Κυρίῳ θυσιαστήριον ἐν τῷ ἅλωνι Ὀρνὰ τοῦ Ἰεβουσαίου.
19And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.
19καὶ ἀνέβη Δαυὶδ κατὰ τὸν λόγον Γάδ, καθ' ὃν τρόπον ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ Κύριος.
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.
20καὶ διέκυψεν Ὀρνὰ καὶ εἶδε τὸν βασιλέα καὶ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ παραπορευομένους ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ὀρνὰ καὶ προσεκύνησε τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
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.
21καὶ εἶπεν Ὀρνά· τί ὅτι ἦλθεν ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς πρός τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ; καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ· κτήσασθαι παρὰ σοῦ τὸν ἅλωνα τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι θυσιαστήριον τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ συσχεθῇ ἡ θραῦσις ἐπάνω τοῦ λαοῦ.
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.
22καὶ εἶπεν Ὀρνὰ πρὸς Δαυὶδ· λαβέτω καὶ ἀνενεγκάτω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Κυρίῳ τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ· ἰδοὺ οἱ βόες εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα, καὶ οἱ τροχοὶ καὶ τὰ σκεύη τῶν βοῶν εἰς ξύλα.
23All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.
23τὰ πάντα ἔδωκεν Ὀρνὰ τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ εἶπεν Ὀρνά πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου εὐλογήσαι σε.
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.
24καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Ὀρνά· οὐχί, ὅτι ἀλλὰ κτώμενος κτήσομαι παρὰ σοῦ ἐν ἀλλάγματι, καὶ οὐκ ἀνοίσω τῷ Κυρίῳ μου Θεῷ ὁλοκαύτωμα δωρεάν· καὶ ἐκτήσατο Δαυὶδ τὸν ἅλωνα καὶ τοὺς βόας ἐν ἀργυρίῳ σίκλων πεντήκοντα.
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.
25καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ Δαυὶδ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίῳ. καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ὁλοκαυτώσεις καὶ εἰρηνικάς. καὶ προσέθηκε Σαλωμὼν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐπ' ἐσχάτῳ, ὅτι μικρὸν ἦν ἐν πρώτοις. καὶ ἐπήκουσε Κύριος τῇ γῇ, καὶ συνεσχέθη ἡ θραῦσις ἐπάνωθεν Ἰσραήλ.
