Old Testament
1 Again the anger of the LORD was aroused against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, “Go, number Israel and Judah.”
1 ΚΑΙ προσέθετο ὀργὴν Κύριος ἐκκαῆναι ἐν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπέσεισε τὸν Δαυὶδ ἐν αὐτοῖς λέγων· βάδιζε, ἀρίθμησον τὸν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ τὸν Ἰούδαν.
2 So the king said to Joab the commander of the army who was with him, “Now go throughout all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the number of the people.”
2 καὶ εἶπεν ὀ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Ἰωὰβ ἄρχοντα τῆς ἰσχύος τὸν μετ' αὐτοῦ· δίελθε δὴ πάσας φυλὰς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα, ἀπὸ Δὰν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ καὶ ἐπίσκεψαι τὸν λαόν, καὶ γνώσομαι τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ λαοῦ.
3 And Joab said to the king, “Now may the LORD your God add to the people a hundred times more than there are, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king desire this thing?”
3 καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωὰβ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· καὶ προσθείη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν ὥσπερ αὐτοὺς καὶ ὥσπερ αὐτοὺς ἑκατονταπλασίονα, καὶ ὀφθαλμοὶ τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως ὁρῶντες· καὶ ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς ἱνατί βούλεται ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ;
4 Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the captains of the army. Therefore Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel.
4 καὶ ὑπερίσχυσεν ὀ λόγος τοῦ βασιλέως πρὸς Ἰωὰβ καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῆς δυνάμεως. καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰωὰβ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς ἰσχύος ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπισκέψασθαι τὸν λαὸν τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
5 And they crossed over the Jordan and camped in Aroer, on the right side of the town which is in the midst of the ravine of Gad, and toward Jazer.
5 καὶ διέβησαν τὸν Ἰορδάνην καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν Ἀροὴρ ἐκ δεξιῶν τῆς πόλεως τῆς ἐν μέσῳ τῆς φάραγγος Γὰδ καὶ Ἐλιέζερ.
6 Then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; they came to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon;
6 καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Γαλαὰδ καὶ εἰς γῆν Θαβασών, ἥ ἐστιν Ἀδασαί, καὶ παρεγένοντο εἰς Δανιδὰν καὶ Οὐδὰν καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν εἰς Σιδῶνα.
7 and they came to the stronghold of Tyre and to all the cities of the Hivites and the Canaanites. Then they went out to South Judah as far as Beersheba.
7 καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Μάψαρ Τύρου καὶ εἰς πάσας τὰς πόλεις τοῦ Εὐαίου καὶ τοῦ Χαναναίου καὶ ἦλθαν κατὰ νότον Ἰούδα εἰς Βηρσαβεὲ
8 So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
8 καὶ περιώδευσαν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ καὶ παρεγένοντο ἀπὸ τέλους ἐννέα μηνῶν καὶ εἴκοσιν ἡμερῶν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
9 Then Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to the king. And there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
9 καὶ ἔδωκεν Ἰωὰβ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῆς ἐπισκέψεως τοῦ λαοῦ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἐγένετο Ἰσραὴλ ὀκτακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν δυνάμεως σπωμένων ρομφαίαν καὶ ἀνὴρ Ἰούδα πεντακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν μαχητῶν.
10 And David’s heart condemned him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, I pray, O LORD, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly.”
10 καὶ ἐπάταξε καρδία Δαυὶδ αὐτὸν μετὰ τὸ ἀριθμῆσαι τὸν λαόν, καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Κύριον· ἥμαρτον σφόδρα, ὃ ἐποίησα νῦν, Κύριε· παραβίβασον δὴ τὴν ἀνομίαν τοῦ δούλου σου, ὅτι ἐμωράνθην σφόδρα.
11 Now when David arose in the morning, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,
11 καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ τὸ πρωΐ. καὶ λόγος Κυρίου ἐγένετο πρὸς Γὰδ τὸν προφήτην τὸν ὁρῶντα λέγων·
12 “Go and tell David, ‘Thus says the LORD: “I offer you three things; choose one of them for yourself, that I may do it to you.” ’ ”
12 πορεύθητι καὶ λάλησον πρὸς Δαυὶδ λέγων· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· τρία ἐγώ εἰμι αἴρω ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ ἔκλεξαι σεαυτῷ ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ ποιήσω σοι.
13 So Gad came to David and told him; and he said to him, “Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or shall you flee three months before your enemies, while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ plague in your land? Now consider and see what answer I should take back to Him who sent me.”
13 καὶ εἰσῆλθε Γὰδ πρὸς Δαυὶδ καὶ ἀνήγγειλε καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἔκλεξαι σεαυτῷ γενέσθαι, εἰ ἔλθῃ σοι τρία ἔτη λιμὸς ἐν τῇ γῇ σου, ἢ τρεῖς μῆνας φεύγειν σε ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου καὶ ἔσονται διώκοντές σε, ἢ γενέσθαι τρεῖς ἡμέρας θάνατον ἐν τῇ γῇ σου· νῦν οὖν γνῶθι καὶ ἰδὲ τί ἀποκριθῶ τῷ ἀποστείλαντί με ρῆμα.
14 And David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
14 καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Γάδ· στενά μοι πάντοθεν σφόδρα ἐστίν· ἐμπεσοῦμαι δὴ εἰς χεῖρας Κυρίου, ὅτι πολλοὶ οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ σφόδρα, εἰς δὲ χεῖρας ἀνθρώπου οὐ μὴ ἐμπέσω·
15 So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel from the morning till the appointed time. From Dan to Beersheba seventy thousand men of the people died.
15 καὶ ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ Δαυὶδ τὸν θάνατον. καὶ ἡμέραι θερισμοῦ πυρῶν, καὶ ἔδωκε Κύριος θάνατον ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ πρωΐθεν ἕως ὥρας ἀρίστου, καὶ ἤρξατο ἡ θραῦσις ἐν τῷ λαῷ, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ ἀπὸ Δὰν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν.
16 And when the angel stretched out His hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented from the destruction, and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “It is enough; now restrain your hand.” And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
16 καὶ ἐξέτεινεν ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ Θεοῦ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ τοῦ διαφθεῖραι αὐτήν, καὶ παρεκλήθη Κύριος ἐπὶ τῇ κακίᾳ καὶ εἶπε τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῷ διαφθείροντι ἐν τῷ λαῷ· πολὺ νῦν, ἄνες τὴν χεῖρά σου· καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἦν παρὰ τῇ ἅλῳ Ὀρνὰ τοῦ Ἰεβουσαίου.
17 Then David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who was striking the people, and said, “Surely I have sinned, and I have done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, be against me and against my father’s house.”
17 καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Κύριον ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν τὸν ἄγγελον τὸν τύπτοντα ἐν τῷ λαῷ καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ εἰμι ἠδίκησα καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ἐκακοποίησα, καὶ οὗτοι τὰ πρόβατα τί ἐποίησαν; γενέσθω δὴ ἡ χείρ σου ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός μου.
18 And Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up, erect an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
18 καὶ ἦλθε Γὰδ πρὸς Δαυὶδ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀνάβηθι καὶ στῆσον τῷ Κυρίῳ θυσιαστήριον ἐν τῷ ἅλωνι Ὀρνὰ τοῦ Ἰεβουσαίου.
19 So David, according to the word of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.
19 καὶ ἀνέβη Δαυὶδ κατὰ τὸν λόγον Γάδ, καθ' ὃν τρόπον ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ Κύριος.
20 Now Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming toward him. So Araunah went out and bowed before the king with his face to the ground.
20 καὶ διέκυψεν Ὀρνὰ καὶ εἶδε τὸν βασιλέα καὶ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ παραπορευομένους ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ὀρνὰ καὶ προσεκύνησε τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
21 Then Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” And David said, “To buy the threshing floor from you, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be withdrawn from the people.”
21 καὶ εἶπεν Ὀρνά· τί ὅτι ἦλθεν ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς πρός τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ; καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ· κτήσασθαι παρὰ σοῦ τὸν ἅλωνα τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι θυσιαστήριον τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ συσχεθῇ ἡ θραῦσις ἐπάνω τοῦ λαοῦ.
22 Now Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer up whatever seems good to him. Look, here are oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing implements and the yokes of the oxen for wood.
22 καὶ εἶπεν Ὀρνὰ πρὸς Δαυὶδ· λαβέτω καὶ ἀνενεγκάτω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Κυρίῳ τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ· ἰδοὺ οἱ βόες εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα, καὶ οἱ τροχοὶ καὶ τὰ σκεύη τῶν βοῶν εἰς ξύλα.
23 All these, O king, Araunah has given to the king.” And Araunah said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.”
23 τὰ πάντα ἔδωκεν Ὀρνὰ τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ εἶπεν Ὀρνά πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου εὐλογήσαι σε.
24 Then the king said to Araunah, “No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God with that which costs me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
24 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Ὀρνά· οὐχί, ὅτι ἀλλὰ κτώμενος κτήσομαι παρὰ σοῦ ἐν ἀλλάγματι, καὶ οὐκ ἀνοίσω τῷ Κυρίῳ μου Θεῷ ὁλοκαύτωμα δωρεάν· καὶ ἐκτήσατο Δαυὶδ τὸν ἅλωνα καὶ τοὺς βόας ἐν ἀργυρίῳ σίκλων πεντήκοντα.
25 And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD heeded the prayers for the land, and the plague was withdrawn from Israel.
25 καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ Δαυὶδ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίῳ. καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ὁλοκαυτώσεις καὶ εἰρηνικάς. καὶ προσέθηκε Σαλωμὼν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐπ' ἐσχάτῳ, ὅτι μικρὸν ἦν ἐν πρώτοις. καὶ ἐπήκουσε Κύριος τῇ γῇ, καὶ συνεσχέθη ἡ θραῦσις ἐπάνωθεν Ἰσραήλ.
