1 Chronicles 21

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Peshitta
1 And Satan rose up against Israel: and moved David to number Israel.	1 ܘܩܡ ܣܛܢܐ ܠܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܘܣܪܗܒ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܠܡܡܢܐ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ
2 And David said to Joab, and to the rulers of the people: Go, and number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me the number of them that I may know it.	2 ܘܐܡܪ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܝܘܐܒ ܒܪ ܨܘܪܝܐ ܘܠܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܥܡܐ ܙܠܘ ܘܡܢܘ ܠܥܡܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܢ ܒܪ ܫܒܥ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܕܢ ܘܬܘ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܐܕܥ ܡܢܝܢܗ ܕܥܡܐ
3 And Joab answered: The Lord make his people a hundred times more than they are : but, my lord the king, are they not all thy servants: why doth my lord seek this thing, which may be imputed as a sin to Israel?	3 ܘܐܡܪ ܝܘܐܒ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܡܠܟܐ ܢܘܣܦ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܥܠ ܥܡܗ ܐܟܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܟܘܬܗܘܢ ܡܐܐ ܙܒܢ̈ܝܢ ܘܥܝܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܝ ܡܠܟܐ ܢܚ̈ܙܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܒܕ̈ܘܗܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܡܪܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܠܡ̇ܢܘ ܐܨܛܒܝ ܒܗ̇ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ
4 But the king's word rather prevailed: and Joab departed, and went through all Israel: and returned to Jerusalem.	4 ܘܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܥܫܢܬ ܥܠ ܝܘܐܒ ܘܢܦܩ ܝܘܐܒ ܘܗܠܟ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܗܦܟ ܐܬܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ
5 And he gave David the number of them, whom he had surveyed: and all the number of Israel was found to be eleven hundred thousand men that drew the sword: and of Juda four hundred and seventy thousand fighting men.	5 ܘܝܗܒ ܝܘܐܒ ܡܢܝܢܐ ܘܚܘܫܒܢܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܘܗܘܐ ܚܘܫܒܢܐ ܕܒ̈ܢܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܠܦ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܘܡܐܐ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܪ̈ܓܠܝܐ ܫ̇ܡ̈ܛܝ ܣܝܦܐ ܘܫܒܛܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܗܘܘ ܒܡܢܝܢܐ ܐܪܒܥܡܐܐ ܘܫܒܥܝܢ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܫ̇ܡܛܝ ܣܝܦܐ
6 But Levi and Benjamin he did not number: for Joab unwillingly executed the king's orders.	6 ܘܠܘ̈ܝܐ ܘܟܗ̈ܢܐ ܘܫܒܛܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܒܢܝܡܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܬܡܢܝ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܣܠܝ ܝܘܐܒ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܐ ̇—̇— ܝܘܐܒ ܠܡܡܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ
7 And God was displeased with this thing that was commanded: and he struck Israel.	7 ܘܐܬܒܐܫ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܒܥܝ̈ܢܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܕܡܢܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ
8 And David said to God: I have sinned exceedingly in doing this: I beseech thee take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done foolishly.	8 ܘܐܡܪ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܚܛܝܬ ܛܒ ܒܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕܬ ܒܦܬܓܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܐܥܒܪ ܚܘܒ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܥܒܕܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܣܟܠܬ ܛܒ
	9 ܘܩܕܡ ܕܘܝܕ ܒܨܦܪܐ ܘܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܥܠ ܓܕ ܢܒܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ
10 And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer of David, saying:	10 ܙܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܬܠܬ ܒܝ̈ܫܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܝܟ ܓܒܝ ܠܟ ܚܕܐ ܡܢܗܝܢ ܘܐܥܒܕ ܠܟ
11 Go, and speak to David, and tell him: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee the choice of three things: choose one which thou wilt, and I will do it to thee.	11 ܘܐܬܐ ܓܕ ܢܒܝܐ ܠܘܬ ܕܘܝܕ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܩܒܠ ܠܟ
12 And when Gad was come to David, he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: choose which thou wilt:	12 ܐܘ ܬܠܬ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܟܦܢܐ ܒܐܪܥܟ ܐܘ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܪ̈ܚܝܢ ܬܬܡܣܪ ܩܕܡ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܟ ܘܗܘ ܢܗܘܐ ܪܕ̇ܦ ܠܟ ܘܗܘ ܢܗܘܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܒܟ ܐܘ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ ܚܪܒܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܒܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܕܥ ܘܚܙܝ ܡܢܐ ܝܗ̇ܒ ܐܢܬ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܠܘܬ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܠܘܬܟ
13 Either three years' famine: or three months to flee from thy enemies, and not to be able to escape their sword: or three days to have the sword of the Lord, and pestilence in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying in all the coasts of Israel: now therefore see what I shall answer him who sent me.	13 ܘܐܡܪ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܓܕ ܥܩܬ ܠܝ ܛܒ ܢܫܬܠܡ ܒܐܝܕ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܣܓܝܐ̈ܝܢ ܪ̈ܚܡܘܗܝ ܛܒ ܘܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܒܢܝܢ̈ܫܐ ܠܐ ܢܫܬܠܡ
14 And David said to Gad: I am on every side in a great strait: but it is better for me to fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies are many, than into the hands of men.	14 ܘܝܗܒ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܘܬܢܐ ܒܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܢܦܠܘ ܡܢ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܫܒܥ̈ܝܢ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ
15 So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel. And there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.	15 ܘܫܕܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܡܚܒܠܘܬܗ̇ ܘܟܕ ܡܚܒܠ ܠܗ̇ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܬܒܝܐ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܡܚܒܠ ܣܓܝ ܚܒܠܬ ܡܟܝܠ ܩܦܘܣ ܐܝܕܟ ܘܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܫܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܕܪܗ ܕܐܪܢ ܝܒܘܣܝܐ
16 And he sent an angel to Jerusalem, to strike it: and as he was striking it, the Lord beheld, and took pity for the greatness of the evil: and said to the angel that destroyed: It is enough, now stop thy hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the thrashing	16 ܘܐܪܝܡ ܕܘܝܕ ܥܝܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܚܙܐ ܠܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܩܐ̇ܡ ܒܝܬ ܫܡܝܐ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܘܣܝܦܗ ܫܡܝܛ ܘܐܚܝܕ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܩܐ̇ܡ ܠܥܠ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܢܦܠ ܕܘܝܕ ܘܩܫܝ̈ܫܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܡܟܣܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܣܩ̈ܐ ܘܢܦܠܘ ܥܠ ܐܦܝ̈ܗܘܢ
17 And David lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand, turned against Jerusalem: and both he and the ancients clothed in haircloth, fell down flat on the ground.	17 ܘܐܡܪ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܡܪܬ ܕܐܡܢܐ ܠܥܡܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܚܛܝܬ ܘܛܒ ܪܒܐ ܗܝ ܣܟܠܘܬܐ ܕܐܣܟܠܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܬܡܝ̈ܡܬܐ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܝ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܗ̇ ܐܝܕܟ ܒܝ ܘܒܒܝܬ ܐܒܝ ܘܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܢܬܟܠܐ ܡܘܬܢܐ
18 And David said to God: Am not I he that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned: it is I that have done the evil: but as for this flock, what hath it deserved? O Lord my God, let thy hand be turned, I beseech thee, upon me, and upon my father's house: and let not thy people be destroyed.	18 ܘܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܓܕ ܢܒܝܐ ܣܩ ܐܡܪ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܣ̇ܠܩ ܒ̇ܢܐ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܒܐܕܪܗ ܕܐܪܢ ܝܒܘܣܝܐ
19 And the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to tell David, to go up, and build an altar to the Lord God in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.	19 ܘܣܠܩ ܕܘܝܕ ܐܝܟ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܓܕ ܕܐܡܪ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ
20 and David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spoke to him in the name of the Lord.	20 ܘܚܙܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܡܚܒܠ ܒܥܡܐ ܕܩܦܣ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܠܐ ܚ̇ܒܠ ܬܘܒ
21 Now when Ornan looked up, and saw the angel, he and his four sons hid themselves: for at that time he was thrashing wheat in the floor.	21 ܘܐܬܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܘܬ ܐܪܢ ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܐܪܢ ܘܚܙܐ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܘܣܓܕ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܥܠ ܐܦܘ̈ܗܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܘܢܦܩ ܐܪܢ ܡܢ ܐܕܪܗ
22 And as David was coming to Ornan, Ornan saw him, and went out of the thrashingfloor to meet him, and bowed down to him with his face to the ground.	22 ܘܐܡܪ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܐܪܢ ܗܒ ܠܝ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܐܕܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܒܢܐ ܒܗ̇ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܒܟܣܦܐ ܘܒܕܡ̈ܝܐ ܛܒ̈ܐ ܗܒܝܗ̇ ܠܝ ܘܢܬܟܠܐ ܡܘܬܢܐ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ
23 And David said to him: Give me this place of thy thrashingfloor, that I may build therein an altar to the Lord: but thou shalt take of me as much money as it is worth, that the plague may cease from the people.	23 ܘܐܡܪ ܐܪܢ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܣܒ ܠܟ ܡܪܝ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܢܥܒܕ ܡܪܝ ܡܠܟܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܒܥܝܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܐܢܐ ܝܗ̇ܒ ܐܢܐ ܬܘܪ̈ܐ ܠܥܠܬܐ ܘܓܪܓܪܐ ܠܩܝܣ̈ܐ ܘܚ̈ܛܐ ܠܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܘܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܬܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܝ̇ܗܒ
24 And Ornan said to David: Take it, and let my lord the king do all that pleaseth him: and moreover the oxen also I give for a holocaust, and the drays for wood, and the wheat for the sacrifice: I will give it all willingly.	24 ܘܐܡܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܐܪܢ ܚܣ ܠܝ ܡܙܒܢ ܙܒ̇ܢ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟ ܒܟܣܦܐ ܘܒܕܡ̈ܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܫ̇ܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܢܣ̇ܒ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܠܟ ܘܡܣܩ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܓܢ
25 And king David said to him: It shall not be so, but I will give thee money as much se it is worth: for I must not take it from thee, and so offer to the Lord holocausts free cost.	25 ܘܙܒܢ ܕܘܝܕ ܡܢ ܐܪܢ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܗ̇ܝ ܕܐܕܪܐ ܒܚܡܫܝܢ ܐܣܬܪ̈ܝܢ
26 So David gave to Ornan for the place, six hundred sides of gold of just weight.	26 ܘܒܢܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܬܡܢ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܩܪܒ ܥܠܘ̈ܬܐ ܘܫܠܡ̈ܐ ܐܡܪ̈ܐ ܘܨܠܝ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܥܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܚܬܬ ܢܘܪܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܟܠܬ ܥܠܘ̈ܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘ̈ܝ ܥܠ ܡܕܒܚܐ
27 And he built there an altar to the Lord: and he offered holocausts, and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord, and he heard him by sending Are from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust.	27 ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܐܗܦܟ ܣܝܦܟ ܠܚܠܬܗ
28 And the Lord commanded the angel: and he put up his sword again into the sheath.	28 ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܕܥܢܝܗܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܐܕܪܗ ܕܐܪܢ ܝܒܘܣܝܐ ܘܕܒܚ ܬܡܢ ܕܒܚ̈ܐ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܐ
29 And David seeing that the Lord had heard him in the thrashingfloor of Oman the Jebusite, forthwith offered victims there.	29 ܘܨܠܝ ܬܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܫܟܢܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܒܡܦܩܢܐ ܕܒ̈ܢܝ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ
30 But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, was at that time in the high place of Gabaon.	30 ܒܗ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܚܠ ܗܘܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܛܒ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܚܠ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܚܪܒܐ ܕܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ
