1 Chronicles 21

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 Satan took his stand against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel.	1 και εστη διαβολος εν τω ισραηλ και επεσεισεν τον δαυιδ του αριθμησαι τον ισραηλ
2 David said to Joab and the people's princes, 'Go, and take a census of Israel, from Beersheba to Dan,then bring it back to me and let me know the total.'	2 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς δαυιδ προς ιωαβ και προς τους αρχοντας της δυναμεως πορευθητε αριθμησατε τον ισραηλ απο βηρσαβεε και εως δαν και ενεγκατε προς με και γνωσομαι τον αριθμον αυτων
3 Joab replied, 'May Yahweh multiply his people to a hundred times what they are today! But my lordking, are they not all my lord's servants in any case? Why should my lord insist on this? Why should he involveIsrael in guilt?'	3 και ειπεν ιωαβ προσθειη κυριος επι τον λαον αυτου ως αυτοι εκατονταπλασιως και οι οφθαλμοι κυριου μου του βασιλεως βλεποντες παντες τω κυριω μου παιδες ινα τι ζητει ο κυριος μου τουτο ινα μη γενηται εις αμαρτιαν τω ισραηλ
4 But the king enforced his order on Joab, and Joab set out, travelled throughout al Israel, and thenreturned to Jerusalem.	4 το δε ρημα του βασιλεως εκραταιωθη επι τω ιωαβ και εξηλθεν ιωαβ και διηλθεν εν παντι οριω ισραηλ και ηλθεν εις ιερουσαλημ
5 Joab gave David the census results for the people: al Israel had eleven hundred thousand men whocould wield a sword; Judah had four hundred and seventy thousand men who could wield a sword.	5 και εδωκεν ιωαβ τον αριθμον της επισκεψεως του λαου τω δαυιδ και ην πας ισραηλ χιλιαι χιλιαδες και εκατον χιλιαδες ανδρων εσπασμενων μαχαιραν και ιουδας τετρακοσιαι και ογδοηκοντα χιλιαδες ανδρων εσπασμενων μαχαιραν
6 Joab had found the king's command so distasteful that he did not include Levi and Benjamin.	6 και τον λευι και τον βενιαμιν ουκ ηριθμησεν εν μεσω αυτων οτι κατισχυσεν λογος του βασιλεως τον ιωαβ
7 God looked with displeasure on this and punished Israel in consequence.	7 και πονηρον εφανη εναντιον του θεου περι του πραγματος τουτου και επαταξεν τον ισραηλ
8 David then said to God, 'I have committed a grave sin by doing this. But now I beg you to forgive yourservant for this fault, for I have acted very foolishly.'	8 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς τον θεον ημαρτηκα σφοδρα οτι εποιησα το πραγμα τουτο και νυν περιελε δη την κακιαν παιδος σου οτι εματαιωθην σφοδρα
9 Yahweh then spoke to Gad, David's seer,	9 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς γαδ ορωντα δαυιδ λεγων
10 'Go and say to David, "Yahweh says this: I offer you three things; choose which one of them I am toinflict on you." '	10 πορευου και λαλησον προς δαυιδ λεγων ουτως λεγει κυριος τρια αιρω εγω επι σε εκλεξαι σεαυτω εν εξ αυτων και ποιησω σοι
11 So Gad went to David and said, 'Yahweh says this,	11 και ηλθεν γαδ προς δαυιδ και ειπεν αυτω ουτως λεγει κυριος εκλεξαι σεαυτω
12 "Take your choice between three years of famine; or three months of disaster at the hands of yourenemies, with your enemies' sword overtaking you; or three days of Yahweh's sword, an epidemic in the country,while the angel of Yahweh wreaks havoc throughout the territory of Israel." Now decide how I am to answer himwho sends me.'	12 η τρια ετη λιμου η τρεις μηνας φευγειν σε εκ προσωπου εχθρων σου και μαχαιραν εχθρων σου του εξολεθρευσαι η τρεις ημερας ρομφαιαν κυριου και θανατον εν τη γη και αγγελος κυριου εξολεθρευων εν παση κληρονομια ισραηλ και νυν ιδε τι αποκριθω τω αποστειλαντι με λογον
13 David said to Gad, 'I am very apprehensive. Better for me to fal into Yahweh's hand, since hismercies are very great, than for me to fal into the hands of human enemies.'	13 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς γαδ στενα μοι και τα τρια σφοδρα εμπεσουμαι δη εις χειρας κυριου οτι πολλοι οι οικτιρμοι αυτου σφοδρα και εις χειρας ανθρωπων ου μη εμπεσω
14 So Yahweh unleashed an epidemic on Israel, and seventy thousand Israelites succumbed.	14 και εδωκεν κυριος θανατον εν ισραηλ και επεσον εξ ισραηλ εβδομηκοντα χιλιαδες ανδρων
15 Next, God sent the angel to Jerusalem to destroy it, but as he was about to destroy it, Yahwehlooked down and felt sorry about the calamity; and he said to the destroying angel, 'Enough now! Hold yourhand!' The angel of Yahweh was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.	15 και απεστειλεν ο θεος αγγελον εις ιερουσαλημ του εξολεθρευσαι αυτην και ως εξωλεθρευσεν ειδεν κυριος και μετεμεληθη επι τη κακια και ειπεν τω αγγελω τω εξολεθρευοντι ικανουσθω σοι ανες την χειρα σου και ο αγγελος κυριου εστως εν τω αλω ορνα του ιεβουσαιου
16 David, raising his eyes, saw the angel of Yahweh standing between earth and heaven, a drawnsword in his hand stretched out towards Jerusalem. David and the elders then put on sackcloth and fel on theirfaces,	16 και επηρεν δαυιδ τους οφθαλμους αυτου και ειδεν τον αγγελον κυριου εστωτα ανα μεσον της γης και ανα μεσον του ουρανου και η ρομφαια αυτου εσπασμενη εν τη χειρι αυτου εκτεταμενη επι ιερουσαλημ και επεσεν δαυιδ και οι πρεσβυτεροι περιβεβλημενοι εν σακκοις επι προσωπον αυτων
17 and David said to God, 'Did I not order the people to be counted? I was the one who sinned andactual y committed the wrong. But these, the flock, what have they done? Yahweh my God, let your hand lieheavy on me and on my family; but spare your people from the plague!'	17 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς τον θεον ουκ εγω ειπα του αριθμησαι εν τω λαω και εγω ειμι ο αμαρτων κακοποιων εκακοποιησα και ταυτα τα προβατα τι εποιησαν κυριε ο θεος γενηθητω η χειρ σου εν εμοι και εν τω οικω του πατρος μου και μη εν τω λαω σου εις απωλειαν κυριε
18 The angel of Yahweh then ordered Gad to tel David that David should go up and erect an altar toYahweh on the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.	18 και αγγελος κυριου ειπεν τω γαδ του ειπειν προς δαυιδ ινα αναβη του στησαι θυσιαστηριον τω κυριω εν αλω ορνα του ιεβουσαιου
19 So, at Gad's bidding, given in Yahweh's name, David went up.	19 και ανεβη δαυιδ κατα τον λογον γαδ ον ελαλησεν εν ονοματι κυριου
20 Ornan had turned round and seen the angel, and he and his four sons with him had hidden.	20 και επεστρεψεν ορνα και ειδεν τον βασιλεα και τεσσαρες υιοι αυτου μετ' αυτου μεθαχαβιν και ορνα ην αλοων πυρους
21 When David arrived Ornan was threshing wheat. He looked up and saw David and came off thethreshing-floor and prostrated himself on the ground at David's feet.	21 και ηλθεν δαυιδ προς ορναν και ορνα εξηλθεν εκ της αλω και προσεκυνησεν τω δαυιδ τω προσωπω επι την γην
22 David then said to Ornan, 'Let me have the site of the threshing-floor, so that I can build an altar toYahweh on it; let me have it at the ful price -- so that the plague may be lifted from the people.' Ornan said toDavid,	22 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς ορνα δος μοι τον τοπον σου της αλω και οικοδομησω επ' αυτω θυσιαστηριον τω κυριω εν αργυριω αξιω δος μοι αυτον και παυσεται η πληγη εκ του λαου
23 'Take it, and let my lord the king do what he thinks fit. Look, I shal give you the oxen for burntofferings, the threshing-sleds for the wood and the wheat for the oblation. I shal give everything.'	23 και ειπεν ορνα προς δαυιδ λαβε σεαυτω και ποιησατω ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς το αγαθον εναντιον αυτου ιδε δεδωκα τους μοσχους εις ολοκαυτωσιν και το αροτρον και τας αμαξας εις ξυλα και τον σιτον εις θυσιαν τα παντα δεδωκα
24 'No,' said King David to Ornan, 'I insist on buying it at the ful price. I wil not offer Yahweh whatbelongs to you or bring burnt offerings which have cost me nothing.'	24 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς δαυιδ τω ορνα ουχι οτι αγοραζων αγοραζω εν αργυριω αξιω οτι ου μη λαβω α εστιν σοι κυριω του ανενεγκαι ολοκαυτωσιν δωρεαν κυριω
25 So David gave Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the site.	25 και εδωκεν δαυιδ τω ορνα εν τω τοπω αυτου σικλους χρυσιου ολκης εξακοσιους
26 There David built an altar to Yahweh and brought burnt offerings and peace offerings. He called onYahweh, and Yahweh answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.	26 και ωκοδομησεν δαυιδ εκει θυσιαστηριον κυριω και ανηνεγκεν ολοκαυτωματα και σωτηριου και εβοησεν προς κυριον και επηκουσεν αυτω εν πυρι εκ του ουρανου επι το θυσιαστηριον της ολοκαυτωσεως και καταναλωσεν την ολοκαυτωσιν
27 Then Yahweh ordered the angel to sheathe his sword.	27 και ειπεν κυριος προς τον αγγελον και κατεθηκεν την ρομφαιαν εις τον κολεον
28 Whereupon, seeing that Yahweh had answered him on the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite,David offered sacrifice there.	28 εν τω καιρω εκεινω εν τω ιδειν τον δαυιδ οτι επηκουσεν αυτω κυριος εν τω αλω ορνα του ιεβουσαιου και εθυσιασεν εκει
29 The Dwel ing which Moses had made in the desert and the altar of burnt offering were at that time onthe high place at Gibeon,	29 και σκηνη κυριου ην εποιησεν μωυσης εν τη ερημω και θυσιαστηριον των ολοκαυτωματων εν τω καιρω εκεινω εν βαμα εν γαβαων
30 but David could not go there to consult God because he was terrified of the angel's sword.	30 και ουκ ηδυνατο δαυιδ του πορευθηναι εμπροσθεν αυτου του ζητησαι τον θεον οτι κατεσπευσεν απο προσωπου της ρομφαιας αγγελου κυριου
