GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Αλλ' ο Σατανας ηγερθη κατα του Ισραηλ, και παρεκινησε τον Δαβιδ να απαριθμηση τον Ισραηλ.	1 Now Satan rose up against Israel, and he incited David so that he would number Israel.
2 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Ιωαβ και προς τους αρχοντας του λαου, Υπαγετε, απαριθμησατε τον Ισραηλ, απο Βηρ-σαβεε εως Δαν, και φερετε προς εμε, δια να μαθω, τον αριθμον αυτων.	2 And David said to Joab and to the leaders of the people: “Go, and number Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan. And bring me the number, so that I may know it.”
3 Ο δε Ιωαβ απεκριθη, Ο Κυριος να προσθεση επι τον λαον αυτου εκατονταπλασιον αφ' ο, τι ειναι αλλα, κυριε μου βασιλευ, δεν ειναι παντες δουλοι του κυριου μου; δια τι ο κυριος μου επιθυμει τουτο; δια τι να γεινη τουτο αμαρτημα εις τον Ισραηλ;	3 And Joab responded: “May the Lord increase his people a hundred times more than they are. But, my lord the king, are they not all your servants? Why would my lord seek this thing, which may be imputed as a sin to Israel?”
4 Ο λογος ομως του βασιλεως υπερισχυσεν επι τον Ιωαβ. Και ανεχωρησεν ο Ιωαβ, και περιελθων απαντα τον Ισραηλ επεστρεψεν εις Ιερουσαλημ.	4 But the word of the king prevailed instead. And Joab went away, and he traveled around, through all of Israel. And he returned to Jerusalem.
5 Και εδωκεν ο Ιωαβ το κεφαλαιον της απαριθμησεως του λαου εις τον Δαβιδ. Και πας ο Ισραηλ ησαν χιλιαι χιλιαδες και εκατον χιλιαδες ανδρων συροντων μαχαιραν? ο δε Ιουδας, τετρακοσιαι εβδομηκοντα χιλιαδες ανδρων συροντων μαχαιραν.	5 And he gave to David the number of those whom he had surveyed. And the entire number of Israel was found to be one million and one hundred thousand men who could draw the sword; but from Judah, there were four hundred and seventy thousand men of war.
6 τους Λευιτας δε και Βενιαμιτας δεν ηριθμησε μεταξυ αυτων? διοτι ο λογος του βασιλεως ητο βδελυκτος εις τον Ιωαβ.	6 But Levi and Benjamin he did not number. For Joab executed the orders of the king unwillingly.
7 Και εφανη κακον εις τους οφθαλμους του Θεου το πραγμα τουτο? οθεν επαταξε τον Ισραηλ.	7 Then God was displeased with what had been ordered, and so he struck Israel.
8 Τοτε ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Θεον, Ημαρτησα σφοδρα, πραξας το πραγμα τουτο? αλλα τωρα, δεομαι, αφαιρεσον την ανομιαν του δουλου σου? διοτι εμωρανθην σφοδρα.	8 And David said to God: “I have sinned exceedingly in doing this. I beg you take away the iniquity of your servant. For I have acted unwisely.”
9 Και ελαλησε Κυριος προς τον Γαδ τον βλεποντα του Δαβιδ, λεγων,	9 And the Lord spoke to Gad, the seer of David, saying:
10 Υπαγε και λαλησον προς τον Δαβιδ, λεγων, ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Τρια πραγματα εγω προβαλλω εις σε? εκλεξον εις σεαυτον εν εκ τουτων, και θελω σοι καμει αυτο.	10 “Go, and speak to David, and tell him: Thus says the Lord: I give to you the option of three things. Choose the one that you will want, and I will do it to you.”
11 Ηλθε λοιπον ο Γαδ προς τον Δαβιδ και ειπε προς αυτον, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Εκλεξον εις σεαυτον,	11 And when Gad had gone to David, he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Choose what you will want:
12 η τρια ετη πεινης, η τρεις μηνας να φθειρησαι εμπροσθεν των πολεμιων σου και να σε προφθανη η μαχαιρα των εχθρων σου, η τρεις ημερας την ρομφαιαν του Κυριου και το θανατικον εν τη γη, και τον αγγελον του Κυριου εξολοθρευοντα εις παντα τα ορια του Ισραηλ. Τωρα λοιπον ιδε ποιον λογον θελω αναφερει προς τον αποστειλαντα με.	12 Either three years of famine, or three months for you to flee from your enemies, unable to escape from their sword, or three days for the sword of the Lord and a pestilence to turn within the land, with the Angel of the Lord killing in every part of Israel. Now therefore, see what I should respond to him who sent me.”
13 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Γαδ, Στενα μοι πανταχοθεν σφοδρα? ας πεσω λοιπον εις την χειρα του Κυριου, διοτι οι οικτιρμοι αυτου ειναι πολλοι σφοδρα? εις χειρα δε ανθρωπου ας μη πεσω.	13 And David said to Gad: “There are difficulties pressing upon me from every side. 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 Εδωκε λοιπον ο Κυριος θανατικον επι τον Ισραηλ? και επεσον εκ του Ισραηλ εβδομηκοντα χιλιαδες ανδρων.	14 Therefore, the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel. And there fell from Israel seventy thousand men.
15 Και απεστειλεν ο Θεος αγγελον εις Ιερουσαλημ, δια να εξολοθρευση αυτην? και ενω εξωλοθρευεν, ειδεν ο Κυριος και μετεμεληθη περι του κακου, και ειπε προς τον αγγελον τον εξολοθρευοντα, Αρκει ηδη? συρε την χειρα σου. Ιστατο δε ο αγγελος του Κυριου πλησιον του αλωνιου του Ορναν του Ιεβουσαιου.	15 Also, he sent an Angel to Jerusalem, so that he might strike it. And while he was striking, the Lord saw and took pity over the magnitude of the harm. And he commanded the Angel who was striking: “It is enough. Now let your hand cease.” And the Angel of the Lord was standing beside the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 Και υψωσας ο Δαβιδ τους οφθαλμους αυτου, ειδε τον αγγελον του Κυριου ισταμενον αναμεσον της γης και του ουρανου, εχοντα εν τη χειρι αυτου την ρομφαιαν αυτου γεγυμνωμενην, εκτεταμενην επι Ιερουσαλημ? και επεσεν ο Δαβιδ και οι πρεσβυτεροι, ενδεδυμενοι σακκους, κατα προσωπον αυτων.	16 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 toward Jerusalem. And both he and those greater by birth, being clothed in haircloth, fell prone upon the ground.
17 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Θεον, Δεν ειμαι εγω ο προσταξας να απαριθμησωσι τον λαον; εγω βεβαιως ειμαι ο αμαρτησας και πραξας την κακιαν? ταυτα δε τα προβατα τι επραξαν; επ' εμε λοιπον, Κυριε Θεε μου, και επι τον οικον του πατρος μου εστω η χειρ σου, και μη επι τον λαον σου προς απωλειαν.	17 And David said to God: “Am I not the one who ordered that the people be numbered? It is I who sinned; it is I who did evil. This flock, what does it deserve? O Lord my God, I beg you to let your hand be turned against me and against the house of my father. But let not your people be struck down.”
18 Τοτε ο αγγελος του Κυριου προσεταξε τον Γαδ να ειπη προς τον Δαβιδ, να αναβη ο Δαβιδ και να στηση θυσιαστηριον εις τον Κυριον εν τω αλωνιω του Ορναν του Ιεβουσαιου.	18 Then the Angel of the Lord instructed Gad to tell David that he should ascend and build an altar to the Lord God on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 Και ανεβη ο Δαβιδ, κατα τον λογον του Γαδ, τον οποιον ελαλησεν εν ονοματι Κυριου.	19 Therefore, David ascended, in accord with the word of Gad, which he had spoken to him in the name of the Lord.
20 Και στραφεις ο Ορναν ειδε τον αγγελον? και εκρυφθησαν οι τεσσαρες υιοι αυτου μετ' αυτου. Ο δε Ορναν ηλωνιζε σιτον.	20 Now when Ornan had looked up and seen the Angel, he and his four sons hid themselves. For at that time, he was threshing wheat upon the floor.
21 Και καθως ηλθεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Ορναν, αναβλεψας ο Ορναν και ιδων τον Δαβιδ, εξηλθεν εκ του αλωνιου και προσεκυνησε τον Δαβιδ κατα προσωπον εως εδαφους.	21 Then, as David was approaching Ornan, Ornan saw him, and he went out from the threshing floor to meet him. And he reverenced him prone on the ground.
22 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Ορναν, Δος μοι τον τοπον του αλωνιου, δια να οικοδομησω εν αυτω θυσιαστηριον εις τον Κυριον? δος μοι αυτον εις την αξιαν τιμην? δια να σταθη η πληγη απο του λαου.	22 And David said to him: “Give this place of your threshing floor to me, so that I may build an altar to the Lord upon it. And you shall accept from me as much money as it is worth, so that the plague may cease from the people.”
23 Και ειπεν ο Ορναν προς τον Δαβιδ, Λαβε αυτο εις σεαυτον, και ας καμη ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς το αρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους αυτου? Ιδου, διδω τους βοας δια ολοκαυτωμα και τα αλωνικα εργαλεια δια ξυλα και τον σιτον δια προσφοραν εξ αλφιτων? τα παντα διδω.	23 But Ornan said to David: “Take it, and may my lord the king do whatever pleases him. Moreover, I give the oxen also as a holocaust, and the plow for wood, and the wheat for a sacrifice. I will offer all freely.”
24 Ο δε βασιλευς Δαβιδ ειπε προς τον Ορναν, Ουχι? αλλ' εξαπαντος θελω αγορασει αυτο εις την αξιαν τιμην? διοτι δεν θελω λαβει το σον δια τον Κυριον, ουδε θελω προσφερει ολοκαυτωμα δωρεαν.	24 And king David said to him: “By no means shall it be so. Instead, I will give money to you, as much as it is worth. For I must not take it from you, and thereby offer to the Lord holocausts that cost nothing.”
25 Και εδωκεν ο Δαβιδ εις τον Ορναν, δια τον τοπον, εξακοσιους σικλους χρυσιου κατα βαρος.	25 Therefore, David gave Ornan, for the place, the very just weight of six hundred shekels of gold.
26 Και ωκοδομησεν εκει ο Δαβιδ θυσιαστηριον εις τον Κυριον, και προσεφερεν ολοκαυτωματα και ειρηνικας προσφορας και επεκαλεσθη τον Κυριον? και επηκουσεν αυτου, αποστειλας εξ ουρανου πυρ επι το θυσιαστηριον της ολοκαυτωσεως.	26 And he built an altar to the Lord there. And he offered holocausts and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord. And he heeded him by sending fire from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust.
27 Και προσεταξε Κυριος τον αγγελον, και εστρεψε την ρομφαιαν αυτου εις την θηκην αυτης.	27 And the Lord instructed the Angel, and he turned his sword back into its sheath.
28 Κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον, οτε ο Δαβιδ ειδεν οτι ο Κυριος επηκουσεν αυτου εν τω αλωνιω του Ορναν του Ιεβουσαιου, εθυσιασεν εκει.	28 Then, seeing that the Lord had heeded him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, David immediately immolated victims there.
29 Διοτι η σκηνη του Κυριου, την οποιαν εκαμεν ο Μωυσης εν τη ερημω, και το θυσιαστηριον της ολοκαυτωσεως ησαν κατα τον καιρον εκεινον εν τω υψηλω τοπω εν Γαβαων.	29 But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses had made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, were at that time on the high place of Gibeon.
30 Και δεν ηδυνατο ο Δαβιδ να υπαγη ενωπιον αυτης δια να ερωτηση τον Θεον, επειδη εφοβειτο εξ αιτιας της ρομφαιας του αγγελου του Κυριου.	30 And David was unable to go to the altar, so that he might pray to God there. For he had been struck with an exceedingly great fear, seeing the sword of the Angel of the Lord.
