大衛統計人口
21 撒旦為了攻擊以色列，就挑動大衛統計以色列人的數目。 2 大衛對約押和其他軍中的首領說：「你們要走遍以色列，從別示巴一直到但，統計以色列的人口，然後回來稟告我，我好知道他們的數目。」 3 約押說：「願耶和華使祂子民的人數比現在增加百倍。但我主我王啊，他們不都是你的僕人嗎？我主為什麼要這樣做，使以色列人陷於罪中呢？」 4 但大衛不聽約押的規勸。約押只好出去，走遍以色列，然後回到耶路撒冷， 5 將人數呈報大衛：全以色列有一百一十萬刀兵，猶大有四十七萬。 6 約押沒有把利未人和便雅憫人算在其中，因為他厭惡王的這個命令。 7 上帝也不喜悅這事，便降災給以色列人。 8 大衛對上帝說：「我做這事犯了大罪。求你赦免僕人的罪，我做了極其愚昧的事。」 9 耶和華對大衛的先見迦得說： 10 「你去告訴大衛，我有三樣災禍，他可以選擇讓我降哪一樣給他。」
11 迦得就來見大衛，把耶和華的話告訴他，說：「你可以任選一樣， 12 或三年的饑荒，或被敵人追殺三個月，或國中遭三天的瘟疫，讓耶和華的天使在以色列全境施行毀滅。請你考慮好後告訴我，我好回覆那差我來的。」 13 大衛說：「我實在為難！不過我寧願落在耶和華的手中，也不願落在人的手中，因為耶和華有無限的憐憫。」
14 於是，耶和華在以色列降下瘟疫，有七萬人死亡。 15 上帝差遣天使去毀滅耶路撒冷。天使正要毀滅的時候，耶和華見了就心生憐憫，對施行毀滅的天使說：「夠了，住手吧！」當時，耶和華的天使正站在耶布斯人阿珥楠的麥場上。 16 大衛舉目看見耶和華的天使站在天地之間，手握著已出鞘的刀，指向耶路撒冷。大衛和眾長老都身披麻衣，臉伏於地。 17 大衛對上帝說：「吩咐統計人民數目的不是我嗎？是我犯了罪，做了惡事，這些百姓有什麼過錯呢？我的上帝耶和華啊，願你的手懲罰我和我的家族，不要把瘟疫降在你的子民身上。」
18 耶和華的天使吩咐迦得去告訴大衛在耶布斯人阿珥楠的麥場上為耶和華建一座祭壇。 19 大衛照耶和華藉迦得所說的話去了麥場。 20 那時，阿珥楠正在打麥子，他轉身看見了天使，跟他在一起的四個兒子都躲了起來。 21 阿珥楠看見大衛來了，就從麥場出來，俯伏叩拜大衛。 22 大衛對他說：「請你將這塊麥場賣給我，我要在這裡為耶和華築一座祭壇，好止住民間的瘟疫。你全價賣給我吧。」 23 阿珥楠說：「我主我王只管用我的麥場！我願獻出牛作燔祭，打麥的器具作柴，麥子作素祭，我願獻出這一切。」
24 大衛王說：「不可，我一定要付你全價，我不能拿你的東西獻給耶和華，不能把白白得來的獻作燔祭。」 25 於是，大衛就用七公斤金子買了阿珥楠的麥場。 26 大衛在那裡為耶和華建了一座壇，獻上燔祭和平安祭，並求告耶和華。耶和華垂聽了他的禱告，從天上降火在祭壇上， 27 又命令天使收刀入鞘。
28 大衛見耶和華在耶布斯人阿珥楠的麥場上應允了他的禱告，就在那裡獻祭。 29 那時候，摩西在曠野為耶和華所造的聖幕和燔祭壇都在基遍的高地。 30 但大衛因為懼怕耶和華天使的刀，不敢去那裡求問上帝。

David Counts the Fighting Men(A)
21 Satan(B) rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census(C) of Israel. 2 So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, “Go and count(D) the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan. Then report back to me so that I may know how many there are.”
3 But Joab replied, “May the Lord multiply his troops a hundred times over.(E) My lord the king, are they not all my lord’s subjects? Why does my lord want to do this? Why should he bring guilt on Israel?”
4 The king’s word, however, overruled Joab; so Joab left and went throughout Israel and then came back to Jerusalem. 5 Joab reported the number of the fighting men to David: In all Israel(F) there were one million one hundred thousand men who could handle a sword, including four hundred and seventy thousand in Judah.
6 But Joab did not include Levi and Benjamin in the numbering, because the king’s command was repulsive to him. 7 This command was also evil in the sight of God; so he punished Israel.
8 Then David said to God, “I have sinned greatly by doing this. Now, I beg you, take away the guilt of your servant. I have done a very foolish thing.”
9 The Lord said to Gad,(G) David’s seer,(H) 10 “Go and tell David, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.’”
11 So Gad went to David and said to him, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Take your choice: 12 three years of famine,(I) three months of being swept away[a] before your enemies, with their swords overtaking you, or three days of the sword(J) of the Lord(K)—days of plague in the land, with the angel of the Lord ravaging every part of Israel.’ Now then, decide how I should answer the one who sent me.”
13 David said to Gad, “I am in deep distress. Let me fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercy(L) is very great; but do not let me fall into human hands.”
14 So the Lord sent a plague on Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell dead.(M) 15 And God sent an angel(N) to destroy Jerusalem.(O) But as the angel was doing so, the Lord saw it and relented(P) concerning the disaster and said to the angel who was destroying(Q) the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand.” The angel of the Lord was then standing at the threshing floor of Araunah[b] the Jebusite.
16 David looked up and saw the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand extended over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell facedown.(R)
17 David said to God, “Was it not I who ordered the fighting men to be counted? I, the shepherd,[c] have sinned and done wrong. These are but sheep.(S) What have they done? Lord my God, let your hand fall on me and my family,(T) but do not let this plague remain on your people.”
David Builds an Altar
18 Then the angel of the Lord ordered Gad to tell David to go up and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor(U) of Araunah the Jebusite. 19 So David went up in obedience to the word that Gad had spoken in the name of the Lord.
20 While Araunah was threshing wheat,(V) he turned and saw the angel; his four sons who were with him hid themselves. 21 Then David approached, and when Araunah looked and saw him, he left the threshing floor and bowed down before David with his face to the ground.
22 David said to him, “Let me have the site of your threshing floor so I can build an altar to the Lord, that the plague on the people may be stopped. Sell it to me at the full price.”
23 Araunah said to David, “Take it! Let my lord the king do whatever pleases him. Look, I will give the oxen for the burnt offerings, the threshing sledges for the wood, and the wheat for the grain offering. I will give all this.”
24 But King David replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on paying the full price. I will not take for the Lord what is yours, or sacrifice a burnt offering that costs me nothing.”
25 So David paid Araunah six hundred shekels[d] of gold for the site. 26 David built an altar to the Lord there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. He called on the Lord, and the Lord answered him with fire(W) from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.
27 Then the Lord spoke to the angel, and he put his sword back into its sheath. 28 At that time, when David saw that the Lord had answered him on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there. 29 The tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering were at that time on the high place at Gibeon.(X) 30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God, because he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the Lord.

David telt het volk Israël
21 Op een keer bedacht de duivel iets om Israël in moeilijkheden te brengen. Hij stookte David op om het aantal mannen in Israël te tellen.[a] 2 Toen zei David tegen Joab en de andere aanvoerders: "Ga tellen hoeveel mannen er in heel Israël zijn. Trek het hele land door, vanaf Dan in het noorden tot Berseba in het zuiden, en tel de mannen van het volk. Ik wil weten hoeveel mannen ik kan oproepen voor het leger." 3 Joab zei tegen de koning: "Ik hoop dat uw Heer God het volk nog honderd keer zo groot zal maken als het nu is. Het hele volk dient u, mijn heer de koning. Waarom wilt u het volk tellen? De Heer zal Israël daarvoor straffen!" 4 Maar ook al wilden Joab en de aanvoerders het niet,[b] toch zette de koning zijn zin door. Dus trokken Joab en de aanvoerders het hele land door en kwamen weer terug in Jeruzalem. 5 Joab bracht de koning de uitkomst van de telling: Israël had 1100.000 mannen die met het leger konden meegaan, Juda 470.000. 6 Maar de stammen van Levi en Benjamin had Joab bij het tellen overgeslagen, want hij vond het verschrikkelijk dat de koning het volk wilde tellen.
7 God vond het heel erg verkeerd dat David dat gedaan had. Daarom strafte Hij Israël. 8 Toen zei David tegen God: "Dit was heel erg verkeerd van mij. Heer, vergeef het me alstublieft, want ik heb heel erg dwaas gedaan." 9 Toen zei de Heer tegen Davids profeet Gad: 10 "Ga naar David. Zeg tegen hem: Dit zegt de Heer: Kies op welke manier Ik je zal straffen. Je kan kiezen uit drie dingen." 11 Gad ging naar David en zei tegen hem: "Dit zegt de Heer: Kies. 12 Wilt u drie jaar lang hongersnood, of drie maanden vluchten voor uw vijanden die u willen doden, of drie dagen pest in het land, waarbij de engel van de Heer in het hele land dood brengt. Denk na en bedenk wat ik moet antwoorden aan Hem die mij heeft gestuurd."
13 David antwoordde: "Dit is allemaal even verschrikkelijk! Maar omdat God goed is, is het beter om in de handen van God te vallen, dan in de handen van mensen." 14 Dus liet de Heer de pest op het land los. Er stierven 70.000 mensen. 15 God liet de engel ook naar Jeruzalem gaan, om Jeruzalem met de pest te straffen. Maar toen de engel begon, veranderde de Heer van gedachten. Hij zei tegen de engel: "Zo is het genoeg! Stop nu!" De engel stond op dat moment bij de dorsvloer[c] van de Jebusiet Ornan. 16 David zag de engel van de Heer tussen hemel en aarde staan, met in zijn hand een getrokken zwaard. Hij hield dat zwaard over Jeruzalem uitgestrekt. David en de leiders, gekleed in rouwkleren, lieten zich op de grond vallen. 17 En David riep tot God: "Het was míjn bevel om het volk te tellen. Ík heb verkeerd gedaan. Maar deze arme schapen, wat hebben zíj gedaan? Straf alstublieft alleen mij en mijn familie! Maar laat uw volk met rust en straf hen niet!"
Het altaar voor de Heer
18 Toen stuurde de Engel van de Heer de profeet Gad naar David. Gad moest tegen David zeggen: "Bouw op de dorsvloer van Ornan een altaar voor de Heer." 19 David gehoorzaamde Gad en deed wat de Heer had bevolen.
20 Ornan was op dat moment de tarwekorrels uit de halmen aan het kloppen. Toen hij omkeek, zag hij de engel. Zijn vier zonen die bij hem waren, verborgen zich.
21 Toen Ornan David aan zag komen, liep hij naar hem toe en boog zich diep voor hem. 22 David zei tegen hem: "Ik wil je dorsvloer kopen.[d] Laat me de volle prijs betalen. Ik wil hier een altaar voor de Heer bouwen. Dan zal de pest ophouden." 23 Maar Ornan antwoordde: "Mijn heer de koning, neem wat u wil hebben en doe wat u wil. Kijk, daar staan ossen voor de offers. De dorssleden mag u gebruiken als brandhout en het graan als meel-offer. Ik geef u alles." 24 Maar koning David zei: "Nee, ik wil alles voor de volle prijs van je kopen. Want ik wil niet iets wat van jou is aan de Heer geven. Ik wil mijn God geen offers brengen die me niets hebben gekost." 25 Toen kocht David alles van Ornan voor 600 sikkels (6,6 kilo) goud. 26 Hij bouwde daar een altaar voor de Heer en bracht brand-offers en dank-offers. Hij bad tot de Heer. En de Heer antwoordde hem met vuur uit de hemel op het brand-offeraltaar. 27 Toen gaf de Heer aan de engel het bevel om zijn zwaard weg te steken.
28 Toen David zag dat de Heer hem op de dorsvloer van Ornan had geantwoord, offerde hij daar. 29 De tent van de Heer, die Mozes had gemaakt in de woestijn, en het brand-offeraltaar stonden in die tijd op de heuvel bij Gibeon. 30 Maar David kon daar niet heen, omdat hij bang was voor het zwaard van de engel van de Heer.

21 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
2 And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
3 And Joab answered, The Lord make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?
4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
5 And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.
6 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
7 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.
8 And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
9 And the Lord spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,
10 Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
11 So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Choose thee
12 Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the Lord, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
13 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the Lord; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.
14 So the Lord sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
15 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the Lord beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
17 And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O Lord my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.
18 Then the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the Lord in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the Lord.
20 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
21 And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
22 Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the Lord: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.
23 And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all.
24 And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the Lord, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.
25 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
26 And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the Lord; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.
27 And the Lord commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.
28 At that time when David saw that the Lord had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29 For the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon.
30 But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
