1 Chronicles 21

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 Now Satan rose up against Israel, and he incited David so that he would number Israel.	1 και εστη διαβολος εν τω ισραηλ και επεσεισεν τον δαυιδ του αριθμησαι τον ισραηλ
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.”	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 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?”	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 word of the king prevailed instead. And Joab went away, and he traveled around, through all of Israel. And he returned 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 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.	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 But Levi and Benjamin he did not number. For Joab executed the orders of the king unwillingly.	6 και τον λευι και τον βενιαμιν ουκ ηριθμησεν εν μεσω αυτων οτι κατισχυσεν λογος του βασιλεως τον ιωαβ
7 Then God was displeased with what had been ordered, and so he struck Israel.	7 και πονηρον εφανη εναντιον του θεου περι του πραγματος τουτου και επαταξεν τον ισραηλ
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.”	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 And the Lord spoke to Gad, the seer of David, saying:	9 και ελαλησεν κυριος προς γαδ ορωντα δαυιδ λεγων
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.”	10 πορευου και λαλησον προς δαυιδ λεγων ουτως λεγει κυριος τρια αιρω εγω επι σε εκλεξαι σεαυτω εν εξ αυτων και ποιησω σοι
11 And when Gad had gone to David, he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Choose what you will want:	11 και ηλθεν γαδ προς δαυιδ και ειπεν αυτω ουτως λεγει κυριος εκλεξαι σεαυτω
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.”	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 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.”	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 Therefore, the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel. And there fell from Israel seventy thousand men.	14 και εδωκεν κυριος θανατον εν ισραηλ και επεσον εξ ισραηλ εβδομηκοντα χιλιαδες ανδρων
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.	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 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.	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: “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.”	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 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.	18 και αγγελος κυριου ειπεν τω γαδ του ειπειν προς δαυιδ ινα αναβη του στησαι θυσιαστηριον τω κυριω εν αλω ορνα του ιεβουσαιου
19 Therefore, David ascended, in accord with the word of Gad, which he had spoken to him in the name of the Lord.	19 και ανεβη δαυιδ κατα τον λογον γαδ ον ελαλησεν εν ονοματι κυριου
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.	20 και επεστρεψεν ορνα και ειδεν τον βασιλεα και τεσσαρες υιοι αυτου μετ' αυτου μεθαχαβιν και ορνα ην αλοων πυρους
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.	21 και ηλθεν δαυιδ προς ορναν και ορνα εξηλθεν εκ της αλω και προσεκυνησεν τω δαυιδ τω προσωπω επι την γην
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.”	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 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.”	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 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.”	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 Therefore, David gave Ornan, for the place, the very just weight of six hundred shekels of gold.	25 και εδωκεν δαυιδ τω ορνα εν τω τοπω αυτου σικλους χρυσιου ολκης εξακοσιους
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.	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 And the Lord instructed the Angel, and he turned his sword back into its sheath.	27 και ειπεν κυριος προς τον αγγελον και κατεθηκεν την ρομφαιαν εις τον κολεον
28 Then, seeing that the Lord had heeded him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, David immediately immolated victims 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 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.	29 και σκηνη κυριου ην εποιησεν μωυσης εν τη ερημω και θυσιαστηριον των ολοκαυτωματων εν τω καιρω εκεινω εν βαμα εν γαβαων
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.	30 και ουκ ηδυνατο δαυιδ του πορευθηναι εμπροσθεν αυτου του ζητησαι τον θεον οτι κατεσπευσεν απο προσωπου της ρομφαιας αγγελου κυριου
