ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Β´ - 2 Samuele - Kings II 24

LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 και προσεθετο οργη κυριου εκκαηναι εν ισραηλ και επεσεισεν τον δαυιδ εν αυτοις λεγων βαδιζε αριθμησον τον ισραηλ και τον ιουδα	1 And the anger of the Lord was again kindled against Israel, and stirred up David among them, saying: Go, number Israel and Juda.
2 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς ιωαβ αρχοντα της ισχυος τον μετ' αυτου διελθε δη πασας φυλας ισραηλ απο δαν και εως βηρσαβεε και επισκεψαι τον λαον και γνωσομαι τον αριθμον του λαου	2 And the king said to Joab the general of his army: Go through all the tribes of Israel from Dan to Bersabee, and number ye the people that I may know the number of them.
3 και ειπεν ιωαβ προς τον βασιλεα και προσθειη κυριος ο θεος σου προς τον λαον ωσπερ αυτους και ωσπερ αυτους εκατονταπλασιονα και οφθαλμοι του κυριου μου του βασιλεως ορωντες και ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς ινα τι βουλεται εν τω λογω τουτω	3 And Joab said to the king: The Lord thy God increase thy people, and make them as many more as they are now, and again multiply them a hundredfold in the sight of my lord the king: but what meaneth my lord the king by this kind of thing?
4 και υπερισχυσεν ο λογος του βασιλεως προς ιωαβ και εις τους αρχοντας της δυναμεως και εξηλθεν ιωαβ και οι αρχοντες της ισχυος ενωπιον του βασιλεως επισκεψασθαι τον λαον ισραηλ	4 But the king's words prevailed over the words of Joab, and of the captains of the army: and Joab, and the captains of the soldiers went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
5 και διεβησαν τον ιορδανην και παρενεβαλον εν αροηρ εκ δεξιων της πολεως της εν μεσω της φαραγγος γαδ και ελιεζερ	5 And when they had passed the Jordan, they came to Aroer to the right side of the city, which is in the vale of Gad.
6 και ηλθον εις την γαλααδ και εις γην θαβασων η εστιν αδασαι και παρεγενοντο εις δανιδαν και ουδαν και εκυκλωσαν εις σιδωνα	6 And by Jazer they passed into Galaad, and to the lower land of Hodsi, and they came into the woodlands of Dan. And going about by Sidon,
7 και ηλθαν εις μαψαρ τυρου και πασας τας πολεις του ευαιου και του χαναναιου και ηλθαν κατα νοτον ιουδα εις βηρσαβεε	7 They passed near the walls of Tyre, and all the land of the Hevite, and the Chanaanite, and they came to the south of Juda into Bersabee:
8 και περιωδευσαν εν παση τη γη και παρεγενοντο απο τελους εννεα μηνων και εικοσι ημερων εις ιερουσαλημ	8 And having gone through the whole land, after nine months and twenty days, they came to Jerusalem.
9 και εδωκεν ιωαβ τον αριθμον της επισκεψεως του λαου προς τον βασιλεα και εγενετο ισραηλ οκτακοσιαι χιλιαδες ανδρων δυναμεως σπωμενων ρομφαιαν και ανηρ ιουδα πεντακοσιαι χιλιαδες ανδρων μαχητων	9 And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people to the king, and there were found of Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword: and of Juda five hundred thousand fighting men.
10 και επαταξεν καρδια δαυιδ αυτον μετα το αριθμησαι τον λαον και ειπεν δαυιδ προς κυριον ημαρτον σφοδρα ο εποιησα νυν κυριε παραβιβασον δη την ανομιαν του δουλου σου οτι εμωρανθην σφοδρα	10 But David's heart struck him, after the people were numbered: and David said to the Lord: I have sinned very much in what I have done: but I pray thee, O Lord, to take away the iniquity of thy servant, because I have done exceeding foolishly.
11 και ανεστη δαυιδ το πρωι και λογος κυριου εγενετο προς γαδ τον προφητην τον ορωντα δαυιδ λεγων	11 And David arose in the morning, and the word of the Lord came to Gad the prophet and the seer of David, saying:
12 πορευθητι και λαλησον προς δαυιδ λεγων ταδε λεγει κυριος τρια εγω ειμι αιρω επι σε και εκλεξαι σεαυτω εν εξ αυτων και ποιησω σοι	12 Go, and say to David: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee thy choice of three things, choose one of them which thou wilt, that I may do it to thee.
13 και εισηλθεν γαδ προς δαυιδ και ανηγγειλεν αυτω και ειπεν αυτω εκλεξαι σεαυτω γενεσθαι ει ελθη σοι τρια ετη λιμος εν τη γη σου η τρεις μηνας φευγειν σε εμπροσθεν των εχθρων σου και εσονται διωκοντες σε η γενεσθαι τρεις ημερας θανατον εν τη γη σου νυν ουν γνωθι και ιδε τι αποκριθω τω αποστειλαντι με ρημα	13 And when Gad was come to David, he told him, saying: Either seven years of famine shall come to thee in thy land: or thou shalt flee three months before thy adversaries, and they shall pursue thee: or for three days there shall be a pestilence in thy land. Now therefore deliberate, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
14 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς γαδ στενα μοι παντοθεν σφοδρα εστιν εμπεσουμαι δη εν χειρι κυριου οτι πολλοι οι οικτιρμοι αυτου σφοδρα εις δε χειρας ανθρωπου ου μη εμπεσω και εξελεξατο εαυτω δαυιδ τον θανατον	14 And David said to Gad: I am in a great strait: but it is better that I should fall into the hands of the Lord (for his mercies are many) than into the hands of men.
15 και ημεραι θερισμου πυρων και εδωκεν κυριος εν ισραηλ θανατον απο πρωιθεν εως ωρας αριστου και ηρξατο η θραυσις εν τω λαω και απεθανεν εκ του λαου απο δαν και εως βηρσαβεε εβδομηκοντα χιλιαδες ανδρων	15 And the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel, from the morning unto the time appointed, and there died of the people from Dan to Bersabee seventy thousand men.
16 και εξετεινεν ο αγγελος του θεου την χειρα αυτου εις ιερουσαλημ του διαφθειραι αυτην και παρεκληθη κυριος επι τη κακια και ειπεν τω αγγελω τω διαφθειροντι εν τω λαω πολυ νυν ανες την χειρα σου και ο αγγελος κυριου ην παρα τω αλω ορνα του ιεβουσαιου	16 And when the angel of the Lord had stretched out his hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord had pity on the affliction, and said to the angel that slew the people: It is enough: now hold thy hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite.
17 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς κυριον εν τω ιδειν αυτον τον αγγελον τυπτοντα εν τω λαω και ειπεν ιδου εγω ειμι ηδικησα και εγω ειμι ο ποιμην εκακοποιησα και ουτοι τα προβατα τι εποιησαν γενεσθω δη η χειρ σου εν εμοι και εν τω οικω του πατρος μου	17 And David said to the Lord, when he saw the angel striking the people: It is I; I am he that have sinned, I have done wickedly: these that are the sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I beseech thee, be turned against me, and against my father's house.
18 και ηλθεν γαδ προς δαυιδ εν τη ημερα εκεινη και ειπεν αυτω αναβηθι και στησον τω κυριω θυσιαστηριον εν τω αλωνι ορνα του ιεβουσαιου	18 And Gad came to David that day, and said: Go up, and build an altar to the Lord in the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite.
19 και ανεβη δαυιδ κατα τον λογον γαδ καθ' ον τροπον ενετειλατο αυτω κυριος	19 And David went up according to the word of Gad which the Lord had commanded him.
20 και διεκυψεν ορνα και ειδεν τον βασιλεα και τους παιδας αυτου παραπορευομενους επανω αυτου και εξηλθεν ορνα και προσεκυνησεν τω βασιλει επι προσωπον αυτου επι την γην	20 And Areuna looked, and saw the king and his servants coming towards him:
21 και ειπεν ορνα τι οτι ηλθεν ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς προς τον δουλον αυτου και ειπεν δαυιδ κτησασθαι παρα σου τον αλωνα του οικοδομησαι θυσιαστηριον τω κυριω και συσχεθη η θραυσις επανω του λαου	21 An going out he worshipped the king, bowing with his face to the earth, and said: Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? Arid David said to him: To buy the thrashingfloor of thee, and build an altar to the Lord, that the plague, which rageth among the people, may cease.
22 και ειπεν ορνα προς δαυιδ λαβετω και ανενεγκετω ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς τω κυριω το αγαθον εν οφθαλμοις αυτου ιδου οι βοες εις ολοκαυτωμα και οι τροχοι και τα σκευη των βοων εις ξυλα	22 And Areuna said to David: Let my lord the king take, and offer, as it seemeth good to him: thou hast here oxen for a holocaust, and the wain, and the yokes of the oxen for wood.
23 τα παντα εδωκεν ορνα τω βασιλει και ειπεν ορνα προς τον βασιλεα κυριος ο θεος σου ευλογησαι σε	23 All these things Areuna as a king gave to the king: and Areuna said to the king: The Lord thy God receive thy vow.
24 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς ορνα ουχι οτι αλλα κτωμενος κτησομαι παρα σου εν αλλαγματι και ουκ ανοισω τω κυριω θεω μου ολοκαυτωμα δωρεαν και εκτησατο δαυιδ τον αλωνα και τους βοας εν αργυριω σικλων πεντηκοντα	24 And the king answered him, and said: Nay, but I will buy it of thee at a price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God holocausts free cost. So David bought the floor, and the oxen, for fifty sicles of silver:
25 και ωκοδομησεν εκει δαυιδ θυσιαστηριον κυριω και ανηνεγκεν ολοκαυτωσεις και ειρηνικας και προσεθηκεν σαλωμων επι το θυσιαστηριον επ' εσχατω οτι μικρον ην εν πρωτοις και επηκουσεν κυριος τη γη και συνεσχεθη η θραυσις επανωθεν ισραηλ .	25 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered holocausts and peace offerings: and the Lord became merciful to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
