א
וַיַּעֲמֹד שָׂטָן, עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל; וַיָּסֶת, אֶת-דָּוִיד, לִמְנוֹת, אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל.
|
1
And Satan stood up against Yisrael, and moved David to number Yisrael.
|
|
ב
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד אֶל-יוֹאָב, וְאֶל-שָׂרֵי הָעָם, לְכוּ סִפְרוּ אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל, מִבְּאֵר שֶׁבַע וְעַד-דָּן; וְהָבִיאוּ אֵלַי, וְאֵדְעָה אֶת-מִסְפָּרָם.
|
2
And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people: 'Go, number Yisrael from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them.'
|
|
ג
וַיֹּאמֶר יוֹאָב, יוֹסֵף יְהוָה עַל-עַמּוֹ כָּהֵם מֵאָה פְעָמִים--הֲלֹא אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ, כֻּלָּם לַאדֹנִי לַעֲבָדִים; לָמָּה יְבַקֵּשׁ זֹאת אֲדֹנִי, לָמָּה יִהְיֶה לְאַשְׁמָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל.
|
3
And Joab said: 'YAHOWAH make His people a hundred times so many more as they are; but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt unto Yisrael?'
|
|
ד
וּדְבַר-הַמֶּלֶךְ, חָזַק עַל-יוֹאָב; וַיֵּצֵא יוֹאָב, וַיִּתְהַלֵּךְ בְּכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל, וַיָּבֹא, יְרוּשָׁלִָם.
|
4
Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed and went throughout all Yisrael, and came to Jerusalem.
|
|
ה
וַיִּתֵּן יוֹאָב אֶת-מִסְפַּר מִפְקַד-הָעָם, אֶל-דָּוִיד; וַיְהִי כָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶלֶף אֲלָפִים וּמֵאָה אֶלֶף אִישׁ, שֹׁלֵף חֶרֶב, וִיהוּדָה, אַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת וְשִׁבְעִים אֶלֶף אִישׁ שֹׁלֵף חָרֶב.
|
5
And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto David. And all they of Yisrael were a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men that drew sword; and Judah was four hundred three-score and ten thousand men that drew sword.
|
|
ו
וְלֵוִי, וּבִנְיָמִן, לֹא פָקַד, בְּתוֹכָם: כִּי-נִתְעַב דְּבַר-הַמֶּלֶךְ, אֶת-יוֹאָב.
|
6
But Levi and Benjamin he did not number among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
|
|
ז
וַיֵּרַע בְּעֵינֵי הָאֱלֹהִים, עַל-הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה; וַיַּךְ, אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל. {ס}
|
7
And Eloheem was displeased with this thing; therefore He smote Yisrael.
{S}
|
|
ח
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד, אֶל-הָאֱלֹהִים, חָטָאתִי מְאֹד, אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי אֶת-הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה; וְעַתָּה, הַעֲבֶר-נָא אֶת-עֲווֹן עַבְדְּךָ, כִּי נִסְכַּלְתִּי, מְאֹד. {פ}
|
8
And David said unto Eloheem: 'I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing; but now, put away, I beseech Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.'
{P}
|
|
ט
וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל-גָּד, חֹזֵה דָוִיד לֵאמֹר.
|
9
And YAHOWAH spoke unto Gad, David's seer, saying:
|
|
י
לֵךְ וְדִבַּרְתָּ אֶל-דָּוִיד לֵאמֹר, כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה, שָׁלוֹשׁ, אֲנִי נֹטֶה עָלֶיךָ: בְּחַר-לְךָ אַחַת מֵהֵנָּה, וְאֶעֱשֶׂה-לָּךְ.
|
10
'Go and speak unto David, saying: Thus saith YAHOWAH: I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.'
|
|
יא
וַיָּבֹא גָד, אֶל-דָּוִיד; וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ כֹּה-אָמַר יְהוָה, קַבֶּל-לָךְ.
|
11
So Gad came to David, and said unto him: 'Thus saith YAHOWAH: Take which thou wilt:
|
|
יב
אִם-שָׁלוֹשׁ שָׁנִים רָעָב, וְאִם-שְׁלֹשָׁה חֳדָשִׁים נִסְפֶּה מִפְּנֵי-צָרֶיךָ וְחֶרֶב אוֹיְבֶיךָ לְמַשֶּׂגֶת, וְאִם-שְׁלֹשֶׁת יָמִים חֶרֶב יְהוָה וְדֶבֶר בָּאָרֶץ, וּמַלְאַךְ יְהוָה מַשְׁחִית בְּכָל-גְּבוּל יִשְׂרָאֵל: וְעַתָּה רְאֵה, מָה-אָשִׁיב אֶת-שֹׁלְחִי דָּבָר. {ס}
|
12
either three years of famine; or three months to be swept away before thy foes, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of YAHOWAH, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of YAHOWAH destroying throughout all the borders of Yisrael. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to Him that sent me.'
{S}
|
|
יג
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד אֶל-גָּד, צַר-לִי מְאֹד; אֶפְּלָה-נָּא בְיַד-יְהוָה, כִּי-רַבִּים רַחֲמָיו מְאֹד, וּבְיַד-אָדָם, אַל-אֶפֹּל.
|
13
And David said unto Gad: 'I am in a great strait; let me fall now into the hand of YAHOWAH, for very great are His mercies; and let me not fall into the hand of man.'
|
|
יד
וַיִּתֵּן יְהוָה דֶּבֶר, בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל; וַיִּפֹּל, מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל, שִׁבְעִים אֶלֶף, אִישׁ.
|
14
So YAHOWAH sent a pestilence upon Yisrael; and there fell of Yisrael seventy thousand men.
|
|
טו
וַיִּשְׁלַח הָאֱלֹהִים מַלְאָךְ לִירוּשָׁלִַם, לְהַשְׁחִיתָהּ, וּכְהַשְׁחִית רָאָה יְהוָה וַיִּנָּחֶם עַל-הָרָעָה, וַיֹּאמֶר לַמַּלְאָךְ הַמַּשְׁחִית רַב עַתָּה הֶרֶף יָדֶךָ; וּמַלְאַךְ יְהוָה עֹמֵד, עִם-גֹּרֶן אָרְנָן הַיְבוּסִי. {ס}
|
15
And Eloheem sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it; and as he was about to destroy, YAHOWAH beheld, and He repented Him of the evil, and said to the destroying angel: 'It is enough; now stay thy hand.' And the angel of YAHOWAH was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
{S}
|
|
טז
וַיִּשָּׂא דָוִיד אֶת-עֵינָיו, וַיַּרְא אֶת-מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה עֹמֵד בֵּין הָאָרֶץ וּבֵין הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְחַרְבּוֹ שְׁלוּפָה בְּיָדוֹ, נְטוּיָה עַל-יְרוּשָׁלִָם; וַיִּפֹּל דָּוִיד וְהַזְּקֵנִים מְכֻסִּים בַּשַּׂקִּים, עַל-פְּנֵיהֶם.
|
16
And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of YAHOWAH standing between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
|
|
יז
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד אֶל-הָאֱלֹהִים הֲלֹא אֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי לִמְנוֹת בָּעָם, וַאֲנִי-הוּא אֲשֶׁר-חָטָאתִי וְהָרֵעַ הֲרֵעוֹתִי, וְאֵלֶּה הַצֹּאן, מֶה עָשׂוּ; יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי, תְּהִי נָא יָדְךָ בִּי וּבְבֵית אָבִי, וּבְעַמְּךָ, לֹא לְמַגֵּפָה. {ס}
|
17
And David said unto Eloheem: 'Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? let Thy hand, I pray Thee, O YAHOWAH my Eloheem, be against me, and against my father's house; but not against Thy people, that they should be plagued.'
{S}
|
|
יח
וּמַלְאַךְ יְהוָה אָמַר אֶל-גָּד, לֵאמֹר לְדָוִיד: כִּי יַעֲלֶה דָוִיד, לְהָקִים מִזְבֵּחַ לַיהוָה, בְּגֹרֶן, אָרְנָן הַיְבֻסִי.
|
18
Then the angel of YAHOWAH commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and rear an altar unto YAHOWAH in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
|
|
יט
וַיַּעַל דָּוִיד בִּדְבַר-גָּד, אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה.
|
19
And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of YAHOWAH.
|
|
כ
וַיָּשָׁב אָרְנָן, וַיַּרְא אֶת-הַמַּלְאָךְ, וְאַרְבַּעַת בָּנָיו עִמּוֹ, מִתְחַבְּאִים; וְאָרְנָן, דָּשׁ חִטִּים.
|
20
And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons that were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
|
|
כא
וַיָּבֹא דָוִיד, עַד-אָרְנָן; וַיַּבֵּט אָרְנָן, וַיַּרְא אֶת-דָּוִיד, וַיֵּצֵא מִן-הַגֹּרֶן, וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ לְדָוִיד אַפַּיִם אָרְצָה.
|
21
And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed down to David with his face to the ground.
|
|
כב
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד אֶל-אָרְנָן, תְּנָה-לִּי מְקוֹם הַגֹּרֶן, וְאֶבְנֶה-בּוֹ מִזְבֵּחַ, לַיהוָה; בְּכֶסֶף מָלֵא תְּנֵהוּ לִי, וְתֵעָצַר הַמַּגֵּפָה מֵעַל הָעָם.
|
22
Then David said to Ornan: 'Give me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar unto YAHOWAH; for the full price shalt thou give it me; that the plague may be stayed from the people.'
|
|
כג
וַיֹּאמֶר אָרְנָן אֶל-דָּוִיד קַח-לָךְ, וְיַעַשׂ אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ הַטּוֹב בְּעֵינָיו; רְאֵה נָתַתִּי הַבָּקָר לָעֹלוֹת, וְהַמּוֹרִגִּים לָעֵצִים וְהַחִטִּים לַמִּנְחָה--הַכֹּל נָתָתִּי.
|
23
And Ornan said unto David: 'Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes; lo, I give thee the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing-instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal-offering; I give it all'
|
|
כד
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִיד, לְאָרְנָן, לֹא, כִּי-קָנֹה אֶקְנֶה בְּכֶסֶף מָלֵא: כִּי לֹא-אֶשָּׂא אֲשֶׁר-לְךָ, לַיהוָה, וְהַעֲלוֹת עוֹלָה, חִנָּם.
|
24
And king David said to Ornan: 'Nay, but I will verily buy it for the full price; for I will not take that which is thine for YAHOWAH, nor offer a burnt-offering without cost.'
|
|
כה
וַיִּתֵּן דָּוִיד לְאָרְנָן, בַּמָּקוֹם, שִׁקְלֵי זָהָב, מִשְׁקָל שֵׁשׁ מֵאוֹת.
|
25
So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
|
|
כו
וַיִּבֶן שָׁם דָּוִיד מִזְבֵּחַ לַיהוָה, וַיַּעַל עֹלוֹת וּשְׁלָמִים; וַיִּקְרָא, אֶל-יְהוָה, וַיַּעֲנֵהוּ בָאֵשׁ מִן-הַשָּׁמַיִם, עַל מִזְבַּח הָעֹלָה. {ס}
|
26
And David built there an altar unto YAHOWAH, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon YAHOWAH; and He answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.
{S}
|
|
כז
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה לַמַּלְאָךְ, וַיָּשֶׁב חַרְבּוֹ אֶל-נְדָנָהּ.
|
27
And YAHOWAH commanded the angel; and he put up his sword back into the sheath thereof.
|
|
כח
בָּעֵת הַהִיא--בִּרְאוֹת דָּוִיד כִּי-עָנָהוּ יְהוָה, בְּגֹרֶן אָרְנָן הַיְבוּסִי; וַיִּזְבַּח, שָׁם.
|
28
At that time, when David saw that YAHOWAH had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
|
|
כט
וּמִשְׁכַּן יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה מֹשֶׁה בַמִּדְבָּר, וּמִזְבַּח הָעוֹלָה--בָּעֵת הַהִיא: בַּבָּמָה, בְּגִבְעוֹן.
|
29
For the tabernacle of YAHOWAH, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
|
|
ל
וְלֹא-יָכֹל דָּוִיד לָלֶכֶת לְפָנָיו, לִדְרֹשׁ אֱלֹהִים: כִּי נִבְעַת--מִפְּנֵי, חֶרֶב מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה. {ס}
|
30
But David could not go before it to inquire of Eloheem; for he was terrified because of the sword of the angel of YAHOWAH.
{S}
