2 Samuel 24

1E voltou o furor do SENHOR a acender-se contra Israel, e incitou a Davi contra eles a que dissesse: Vai, conta a Israel e a Judá.

1And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.

2E disse o rei a Joabe, general do exército que tinha consigo: Rodeia todas as tribos de Israel, desde Dã até Berseba, e contai o povo, para que eu saiba o número da gente.

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 Beersheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.

3E Joabe respondeu ao rei: Acrescente o SENHOR teu Deus ao povo cem vezes tanto quanto são, e que o veja meu senhor ao rei; mas para que quer isto meu senhor o rei?

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?

4Porém a palavra do rei pôde mais que Joabe, e que os capitães do exército. Saiu, pois, Joabe, com os capitães do exército, de diante do rei, para contar o povo de Israel.

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.

5E passando o Jordão assentaram em Aroer, à direita da cidade que está em meio do ribeiro de Gade e junto a Jazer.

5And 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:

6Depois vieram a Gileade, e à terra baixa de Hodsi: e dali vieram a Dã-Jaã e ao redor de Sídon.

6Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi; and they came to Danjaan, and about to Zidon,

7E vieram logo à fortaleza de Tiro, e a todas as cidades dos heveus e dos cananeus; e saíram ao sul de Judá, a Berseba.

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 Beersheba.

8E depois que andaram toda a terra, voltaram a Jerusalém ao fim de nove meses e vinte dias.

8So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

9E Joabe deu a conta do número do povo ao rei; e foram os de Israel oitocentos mil homens fortes que tiravam espada; e dos de Judá quinhentos mil homens.

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.

10E depois que Davi contou o povo, sentiu-se atormentado em seu coração; e disse Davi ao SENHOR: Eu pequei gravemente por haver feito isto; mas agora, ó SENHOR, rogo-te que tires o pecado de teu servo, porque eu agi muito loucamente.

10And 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.

11E pela manhã, quando Davi se levantou, veio a palavra do SENHOR a Gade profeta, vidente de Davi, dizendo:

11For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

12Vai, e dize a Davi: Assim disse o SENHOR: Três coisas te ofereço: tu te escolherás uma delas, a qual eu faça.

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.

13Veio, pois, Gade a Davi, e notificou-lhe, e disse-lhe: Queres que te venham sete anos de fome em tua terra? Ou que fujas três meses diante de teus inimigos, e que eles te persigam? Ou que três dias haja pestilência em tua terra? Pensa agora, e olha o que responderei ao que me enviou.

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.

14Então Davi disse a Gade: Em grande angústia estou: rogo que caia na mão do SENHOR, porque suas misericórdias são muitas, e que não caia eu em mãos de homens.

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.

15E enviou o SENHOR pestilência a Israel desde a manhã até o tempo assinalado: e morreram do povo, desde Dã até Berseba, setenta mil homens.

15So 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 Beersheba seventy thousand men.

16E quando o anjo estendeu sua mão sobre Jerusalém para destruí-la, o SENHOR se arrependeu daquele mal, e disse ao anjo que destruía o povo: Basta agora; detém tua mão. Então o anjo do SENHOR estava junto à eira de Araúna, o jebuseu.

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.

17E Davi disse ao SENHOR, quando viu ao anjo que feria ao povo: Eu pequei, eu fiz a maldade: que fizeram estas ovelhas? Rogo-te que tua mão se torne contra mim, e contra a casa de meu pai.

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.

18E Gade veio a Davi aquele dia, e disse-lhe: Sobe, e faze um altar ao SENHOR na era de Araúna jebuseu.

18And 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.

19E subiu Davi, conforme ao dito de Gade, que o SENHOR lhe havia mandado.

19And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.

20E olhando Araúna, viu ao rei e a seus servos que passavam a ele. Saindo então Araúna, inclinou-se diante do rei até terra.

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.

21E Araúna disse: Por que vem meu senhor o rei a seu servo? E Davi respondeu: Para comprar de ti a eira, para edificar altar ao SENHOR, a fim de que a mortandade cesse do povo.

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.

22E Araúna disse a Davi: Tome e sacrifique meu senhor o rei o que bem lhe parecer; eis aqui bois para o holocausto; e trilhos e outros equipamentos de bois para lenha:

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.

23Tudo isto, ó rei, Araúna dá ao rei. Logo disse Araúna ao rei: o SENHOR teu Deus se agrade de ti.

23All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.

24E o rei disse a Araúna: Não, mas por preço o comprarei de ti; porque não oferecerei ao SENHOR meu Deus holocaustos gastando nada. Então Davi comprou a eira e os bois por cinquenta siclos de prata.

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.

25E ali Davi edificou um altar ao SENHOR, e sacrificou holocaustos e ofertas pacíficas; e o SENHOR se aplacou com a terra, e cessou a praga de Israel.

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.
