| 2 Samuel 24 Text (WEB)
|
- Again the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, "Go, number Israel and Judah."
- The king said to Joab the captain of the army, who was with him, "Now go back and forth through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and number the people, that I may know the sum of the people."
- Joab said to the king, "Now may Yahweh your God add to the people, however many they may be, one hundred times; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king delight in this thing?"
- Notwithstanding, the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the army. Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
- They passed over the Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and to Jazer:
- then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; and they came to Dan Jaan, and around to Sidon,
- and came to the stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites; and they went out to the south of Judah, at Beersheba.
- So when they had gone back and forth through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
- Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
- David's heart struck him after that he had numbered the people. David said to Yahweh, "I have sinned greatly in that which I have done. But now, Yahweh, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly."
- When David rose up in the morning, the word of Yahweh came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
- "Go and speak to David, 'Thus says Yahweh, "I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you."'"
- So Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, "Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days' pestilence in your land? Now answer, and consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me."
- David said to Gad, "I am in distress. Let us fall now into the hand of Yahweh; for his mercies are great. Let me not fall into the hand of man."
- So Yahweh sent a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the appointed time; and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.
- When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, Yahweh relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, "It is enough. Now stay your hand." The angel of Yahweh was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
- David spoke to Yahweh when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, "Behold, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me, and against my father's house."
- Gad came that day to David, and said to him, "Go up, build an altar to Yahweh on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."
- David went up according to the saying of Gad, as Yahweh commanded.
- Araunah looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him. Then Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
- Araunah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" David said, "To buy your threshing floor, to build an altar to Yahweh, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people."
- Araunah said to David, "Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Behold, the cattle for the burnt offering, and the threshing instruments and the yokes of the oxen for the wood:
- all this, king, does Araunah give to the king." Araunah said to the king, "May Yahweh your God accept you."
- The king said to Araunah, "No; but I will most certainly buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to Yahweh my God which cost me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
- David built an altar to Yahweh there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So Yahweh was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

- ויסף אף־יהוה לחרות בישראל ויסת את־דוד בהם לאמר לך מנה את־ישראל ואת־יהודה׃
- ויאמר המלך אל־יואב שר־החיל אשר־אתו שוט־נא בכל־שבטי ישראל מדן ועד־באר שבע ופקדו את־העם וידעתי את מספר העם׃ ס
- ויאמר יואב אל־המלך ויוסף יהוה אלהיך אל־העם כהם וכהם מאה פעמים ועיני אדני־המלך ראות ואדני המלך למה חפץ בדבר הזה׃
- ויחזק דבר־המלך אל־יואב ועל שרי החיל ויצא יואב ושרי החיל לפני המלך לפקד את־העם את־ישראל׃
- ויעברו את־הירדן ויחנו בערוער ימין העיר אשר בתוך־הנחל הגד ואל־יעזר׃
- ויבאו הגלעדה ואל־ארץ תחתים חדשי ויבאו דנה יען וסביב אל־צידון׃
- ויבאו מבצר־צר וכל־ערי החוי והכנעני ויצאו אל־נגב יהודה באר שבע׃
- וישטו בכל־הארץ ויבאו מקצה תשעה חדשים ועשרים יום ירושלם׃
- ויתן יואב את־מספר מפקד־העם אל־המלך ותהי ישראל שמנה מאות אלף איש־חיל שלף חרב ואיש יהודה חמש־מאות אלף איש׃
- ויך לב־דוד אתו אחרי־כן ספר את־העם ס ויאמר דוד אל־יהוה חטאתי מאד אשר עשיתי ועתה יהוה העבר־נא את־עון עבדך כי נסכלתי מאד׃
- ויקם דוד בבקר ף ודבר־יהוה היה אל־גד הנביא חזה דוד לאמר׃
- הלוך ודברת אל־דוד כה אמר יהוה שלש אנכי נוטל עליך בחר־לך אחת־מהם ואעשה־לך׃
- ויבא־גד אל־דוד ויגד־לו ויאמר לו התבוא לך שבע שנים רעב בארצך אם־שלשה חדשים נסך לפני־צריך והוא רדפך ואם־היות שלשת ימים דבר בארצך עתה דע וראה מה־אשיב שלחי דבר׃ ס
- ויאמר דוד אל־גד צר־לי מאד נפלה־נא ביד־יהוה כי־רבים וביד־אדם אל־אפלה׃
- ויתן יהוה דבר בישראל מהבקר ועד־עת מועד וימת מן־העם מדן ועד־באר שבע שבעים אלף איש׃
- וישלח ידו המלאך ירושלם לשחתה וינחם יהוה אל־הרעה ויאמר למלאך המשחית בעם רב עתה הרף ידך ומלאך יהוה היה עם־גרן היבסי׃ ס
- ויאמר דוד אל־יהוה בראתו את־המלאך המכה בעם ויאמר הנה אנכי חטאתי ואנכי העויתי ואלה הצאן מה עשו תהי נא ידך בי ובבית אבי׃ ף
- ויבא־גד אל־דוד ביום ההוא ויאמר לו עלה הקם ליהוה מזבח בגרן היבסי׃
- ויעל דוד כדבר־גד כאשר צוה יהוה׃
- וישקף ארונה וירא את־המלך ואת־עבדיו עברים עליו ויצא ארונה וישתחו למלך אפיו ארצה׃
- ויאמר ארונה מדוע בא אדני־המלך אל־עבדו ויאמר דוד לקנות מעמך את־הגרן לבנות מזבח ליהוה ותעצר המגפה מעל העם׃
- ויאמר ארונה אל־דוד יקח ויעל אדני המלך הטוב ראה הבקר לעלה והמרגים וכלי הבקר לעצים׃
- הכל נתן ארונה המלך למלך ס ויאמר ארונה אל־המלך יהוה אלהיך ירצך׃
- ויאמר המלך אל־ארונה לא כי־קנו אקנה מאותך במחיר ולא אעלה ליהוה אלהי עלות חנם ויקן דוד את־הגרן ואת־הבקר בכסף שקלים חמשים׃
- ויבן שם דוד מזבח ליהוה ויעל עלות ושלמים ויעתר יהוה לארץ ותעצר המגפה מעל ישראל׃

| 2 Samuel 24 Text (Latin)

- Et addidit furor Domini irasci contra Israël, commovitque David in eis dicentem : Vade, numera Israël et Judam.
- Dixitque rex ad Joab principem exercitus sui : Perambula omnes tribus Israël a Dan usque Bersabee, et numerate populum, ut sciam numerum ejus.
- Dixitque Joab regi : Adaugeat Dominus Deus tuus ad populum tuum, quantus nunc est, iterumque centuplicet in conspectu domini mei regis : sed quid sibi dominus meus rex vult in re hujuscemodi ?
- Obtinuit autem sermo regis verba Joab, et principum exercitus : egressusque est Joab, et princeps militum a facie regis, ut numerarent populum Israël.
- Cumque pertransissent Jordanem, venerunt in Aroër ad dexteram urbis, quæ est in valle Gad :
- et per Jazer transierunt in Galaad, et in terram inferiorem Hodsi, et venerunt in Dan silvestria. Circumeuntesque juxta Sidonem,
- transierunt prope mœnia Tyri, et omnem terram Hevæi et Chananæi, veneruntque ad meridiem Juda in Bersabee :
- et lustrata universa terra, affuerunt post novem menses et viginti dies in Jerusalem.
- Dedit ergo Joab numerum descriptionis populi regi, et inventa sunt de Israël octingenta millia virorum fortium, qui educerent gladium : et de Juda quingenta millia pugnatorum.
- Percussit autem cor David eum, postquam numeratus est populus : et dixit David ad Dominum : Peccavi valde in hoc facto : sed precor, Domine, ut transferas iniquitatem servi tui, quia stulte egi nimis.
- Surrexit itaque David mane, et sermo Domini factus est ad Gad prophetam et videntem David, dicens :
- Vade, et loquere ad David : Hæc dicit Dominus : Trium tibi datur optio, elige unum quod volueris ex his, ut faciam tibi.
- Cumque venisset Gad ad David, nuntiavit ei, dicens : Aut septem annis veniet tibi fames in terra tua : aut tribus mensibus fugies adversarios tuos, et ille te persequentur : aut certe tribus diebus erit pestilentia in terra tua. Nunc ergo delibera, et vide quem respondeam ei, qui me misit, sermonem.
- Dixit autem David ad Gad : Coarctor nimis : sed melius est ut incidam in manus Domini (multæ enim misericordiæ ejus sunt) quam in manus hominum.
- Immisitque Dominus pestilentiam in Israël, de mane usque ad tempus constitutum, et mortui sunt ex populo a Dan usque ad Bersabee septuaginta millia virorum.
- Cumque extendisset manum suam angelus Domini super Jerusalem ut disperderet eam, misertus est Dominus super afflictione, et ait angelo percutienti populum : Sufficit : nunc contine manum tuam. Erat autem angelus Domini juxta aream Areuna Jebusæi.
- Dixitque David ad Dominum cum vidisset angelum cædentem populum : Ego sum qui peccavi, ego inique egi : isti qui oves sunt, quid fecerunt ? Vertatur, obsecro, manus tua contra me, et contra domum patris mei.
- Venit autem Gad ad David in die illa, et dixit ei : Ascende, et constitue altare Domino in area Areuna Jebusæi.
- Et ascendit David juxta sermonem Gad, quem præceperat ei Dominus.
- Conspiciensque Areuna, animadverti regem et servos ejus transire ad se :
- et egressus adoravit regem prono vultu in terram, et ait : Quid causæ est ut veniat dominus meus rex ad servum suum ? Cui David ait : Ut emam a te aream, et ædificem altare Domino, et cesset interfectio quæ grassatur in populo.
- Et ait Areuna ad David : Accipiat, et offerat dominus meus rex, sicut placet ei : habes boves in holocaustum, et plaustrum, et juga boum in usum lignorum.
- Omnia dedit Areuna rex regi : dixitque Areuna ad regem : Dominus Deus tuus suscipiat votum tuum.
- Cui respondens rex, ait : Nequaquam ut vis, sed emam pretio a te, et non offeram Domino Deo meo holocausta gratuita. Emit ergo David aream, et boves, argenti siclis quinquaginta :
- et ædificavit ibi David altare Domino, et obtulit holocausta et pacifica : et propitiatus est Dominus terræ, et cohibita est plaga ab Israël.

| 2 Samuel 24 Text (KJV)

- And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
- For 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.
- And 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?
- Notwithstanding 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.
- 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:
- Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and about to Zidon,
- And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hibites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, even to Beer-sheba.
- So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
- And 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.
- 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.
- For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
- Go 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.
- So 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.
- And 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.
- 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.
- And 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.
- And 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.
- 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.
- And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.
- And 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.
- And 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.
- And 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.
- All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.
- And 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.
- And 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.
