16 David alzó la vista y vio que el ángel del Señor estaba entre la tierra y el cielo, con una espada desenvainada en la mano que apuntaba hacia Jerusalén. Entonces David y los jefes, vestidos de luto, se postraron sobre su rostro.
17 Y David dijo a Dios: «Señor y Dios mío, ¿acaso no fui yo el que dio la orden de censar al pueblo? ¿Qué culpa tienen estas ovejas? ¡Soy yo el que ha pecado! ¡He actuado muy mal! ¡Descarga tu mano sobre mí y sobre mi familia, pero no sigas hiriendo a tu pueblo!».

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.
