2 Samuel 24

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 The LORD'S anger against Israel flared again, and he incited David against the Israelites by prompting him to number Israel and Judah.	1 και προσεθετο οργη κυριου εκκαηναι εν ισραηλ και επεσεισεν τον δαυιδ εν αυτοις λεγων βαδιζε αριθμησον τον ισραηλ και τον ιουδα
2 Accordingly the king said to Joab and the leaders of the army who were with him, "Tour all the tribes in Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba and register the people, that I may know their number."	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
3 But Joab said to the king: "May the LORD your God increase the number of people a hundredfold for your royal majesty to see it with his own eyes. But why does it please my lord the king to order a thing of this kind?"	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
4 The king, however, overruled Joab and the leaders of the army, so they left the king's presence in order to register the people of Israel.	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
5 Crossing the Jordan, they began near Aroer, south of the city in the wadi, and went in the direction of Gad toward Jazer.	5 και διεβησαν τον ιορδανην και παρενεβαλον εν αροηρ εκ δεξιων της πολεως της εν μεσω της φαραγγος γαδ και ελιεζερ
6 They continued on to Gilead and to the district below Mount Hermon. Then they proceeded to Dan; from there they turned toward Sidon,	6 και ηλθον εις την γαλααδ και εις γην θαβασων η εστιν αδασαι και παρεγενοντο εις δανιδαν και ουδαν και εκυκλωσαν εις σιδωνα
7 going to the fortress of Tyre and to all the cities of the Hivites and Canaanites, and ending up at Beer-sheba in the Negeb of Judah.	7 και ηλθαν εις μαψαρ τυρου και πασας τας πολεις του ευαιου και του χαναναιου και ηλθαν κατα νοτον ιουδα εις βηρσαβεε
8 Thus they toured the whole country, reaching Jerusalem again after nine months and twenty days.	8 και περιωδευσαν εν παση τη γη και παρεγενοντο απο τελους εννεα μηνων και εικοσι ημερων εις ιερουσαλημ
9 Joab then reported to the king the number of people registered: in Israel, eight hundred thousand men fit for military service; in Judah, five hundred thousand.	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
10 Afterward, however, David regretted having numbered the people, and said to the LORD: "I have sinned grievously in what I have done. But now, LORD, forgive the guilt of your servant, for I have been very foolish."	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
11 When David rose in the morning, the LORD had spoken to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying:	11 και ανεστη δαυιδ το πρωι και λογος κυριου εγενετο προς γαδ τον προφητην τον ορωντα δαυιδ λεγων
12 "Go and say to David, 'This is what the LORD says: I offer you three alternatives; choose one of them, and I will inflict it on you.'"	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
13 Gad then went to David to inform him. He asked: "Do you want a three years' famine to come upon your land, or to flee from your enemy three months while he pursues you, or to have a three days' pestilence in your land? Now consider and decide what I must reply to him who sent me."	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
14 David answered Gad: "I am in very serious difficulty. Let us fall by the hand of God, for he is most merciful; but let me not fall by the hand of man."	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
15 Thus David chose the pestilence. Now it was the time of the wheat harvest when the plague broke out among the people. (The LORD then sent a pestilence over Israel from morning until the time appointed, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beer-sheba died.)	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
16 But when the angel stretched forth his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD regretted the calamity and said to the angel causing the destruction among the people, "Enough now! Stay your hand." The angel of the LORD was then standing at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.	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
17 When David saw the angel who was striking the people, he said to the LORD: "It is I who have sinned; it is I, the shepherd, who have done wrong. But these are sheep; what have they done? Punish me and my kindred."	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
18 On the same day Gad went to David and said to him, "Go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."	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
19 Following Gad's bidding, David went up as the LORD had commanded.	19 και ανεβη δαυιδ κατα τον λογον γαδ καθ' ον τροπον ενετειλατο αυτω κυριος
20 Now Araunah looked down and noticed the king and his servants coming toward him while he was threshing wheat. So he went out and paid homage to the king, with face to the ground.	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
21 Then Araunah asked, "Why does my lord the king come to his servant?" David replied, "To buy the threshing floor from you, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be checked among the people."	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
22 But Araunah said to David: "Let my lord the king take and offer up whatever he may wish. Here are oxen for holocausts, and threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for wood.	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
23 All this does Araunah give to the king." Araunah then said to the king, "May the LORD your God accept your offering."	23 τα παντα εδωκεν ορνα τω βασιλει και ειπεν ορνα προς τον βασιλεα κυριος ο θεος σου ευλογησαι σε
24 The king, however, replied to Araunah, "No, I must pay you for it, for I cannot offer to the LORD my God holocausts that cost nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty silver shekels.	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
25 Then David built an altar there to the LORD, and offered holocausts and peace offerings. The LORD granted relief to the country, and the plague was checked in Israel.	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 .
