2-я Царств 24
New Russian Translation
Господь наказывает Давида за перепись(A)
24 Снова разгорелся на израильтян гнев Господа, и Он возбудил против них Давида, говоря:
– Иди и пересчитай народ Израиля и Иудеи.
2 Царь сказал Иоаву и начальникам войска, которые были с ним[a]:
– Пройдите по всем родам Израиля от Дана до Вирсавии и произведите перепись народа, чтобы мне знать, сколько их.
3 Но Иоав ответил царю:
– Пусть Господь, твой Бог, умножит количество народа стократно, и пусть глаза моего господина царя, увидят это. Но зачем господин мой царь хочет сделать такое дело?
4 Но царское слово оказалось сильнее слова Иоава и начальников войска, и они ушли от царя, чтобы пересчитать израильский народ. 5 Переправившись через Иордан, они встали станом в Ароере, к югу от города, что посреди долины, к земле Гада и городу Иазеру. 6 Они пошли в Галаад и землю Тахтим-Ходши, они пришли в Дан-Яан – окружным путем к Сидону. 7 Затем они направились к Тирской крепости и ко всем городам хиввеев и хананеев. И, наконец, они вышли к Вирсавии, что в южной части Иудеи. 8 Пройдя через всю страну за девять месяцев и двадцать дней, они вернулись в Иерусалим. 9 Иоав доложил царю о результатах переписи: восемьсот тысяч сильных мужчин, способных владеть мечом, в Израиле, и пятьсот тысяч – в Иудее.
10 Однако после того, как Давид пересчитал народ, он почувствовал угрызения совести и сказал Господу:
– Сделав это, я совершил великий грех. Теперь, о Господи, я молю Тебя, сними вину с Твоего слуги! Я поступил очень безрассудно.
11 Прежде чем Давид встал следующим утром, к пророку Гаду, провидцу Давида, было слово Господа:
12 – Иди и скажи Давиду: «Так говорит Господь: Я предлагаю тебе три наказания. Выбери одно из них, чтобы Мне послать его тебе».
13 Гад пришел к Давиду и сказал ему:
– Быть ли трем[b] годам голода в твоей стране? Или ты три месяца будешь бегать от своих врагов, которые будут преследовать тебя? Или три дня мора в твоей стране? Итак, обдумай это и реши, что мне ответить Пославшему меня.
14 Давид сказал Гаду:
– Мне очень тяжело, но пусть мы впадем в руки Господа, ведь Его милость велика, но не дай мне попасть в человеческие руки.
15 И Господь послал на Израиль мор с того утра до конца назначенного времени и погибло семьдесят тысяч человек от Дана до Вирсавии. 16 Когда Ангел протянул руку, чтобы истреблять Иерусалим, Господь пожалел о бедствии и сказал Ангелу, Который разил народ:
– Довольно! Опусти свою руку.
Ангел Господень[c] был тогда над гумном иевусея Орны. 17 Когда Давид увидел Ангела, Который разил народ, он сказал Господу:
– Это я согрешил и сделал зло, а эти овцы – что они сделали? Пусть же Твоя рука обратится на меня и на мою семью.
Давид сооружает жертвенник(B)
18 В тот день Гад пришел к Давиду и сказал ему:
– Иди и построй жертвенник Господу на гумне иевусея Орны.
19 И Давид пошел, как повелел через Гада Господь. 20 Когда Орна посмотрел и увидел царя и его людей, идущих к нему, он вышел и поклонился царю, коснувшись лицом земли.
21 Орна сказал:
– Зачем господин мой царь пожаловал к своему слуге?
– Купить твое гумно, – ответил Давид, – и построить Господу жертвенник, чтобы прекратился мор среди народа.
22 Орна сказал Давиду:
– Пусть господин мой царь возьмет все, что ему угодно, и принесет это в жертву. Вот волы для всесожжения, а вот и молотильная доска и воловья упряжь на дрова. 23 О царь, Орна отдает все это царю.
Еще Орна сказал ему:
– Пусть Господь, твой Бог, отнесется к тебе благосклонно!
24 Но царь ответил Орне:
– Нет, я заплачу тебе. Я не стану приносить Господу, моему Богу, всесожжение, которое мне ничего не стоило.
И Давид купил гумно и волов, заплатив за них пятьдесят шекелей[d] серебра. 25 Давид построил там жертвенник Господу и принес всесожжения и жертвы примирения[e]. Господь внял мольбам о стране, и мор в Израиле прекратился.

2 Samuel 24
New King James Version
David’s Census of Israel and Judah(A)
24 Again (B)the anger of the Lord was aroused against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, (C)“Go, [a]number Israel and Judah.”
2 So the king said to Joab the commander of the army who was with him, “Now go throughout all the tribes of Israel, (D)from Dan to Beersheba, and count the people, that (E)I may know the number of the people.”
3 And Joab said to the king, “Now may the Lord your God (F)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?” 4 Nevertheless the king’s word [b]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.
5 And they crossed over the Jordan and camped in (G)Aroer, on the right side of the town which is in the midst of the ravine of Gad, and toward (H)Jazer. 6 Then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; they came to (I)Dan Jaan and around to (J)Sidon; 7 and they came to the stronghold of (K)Tyre and to all the cities of the (L)Hivites and the Canaanites. Then they went out to South Judah as far as Beersheba. 8 So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days. 9 Then Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to the king. (M)And there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
The Judgment on David’s Sin(N)
10 And (O)David’s heart condemned him after he had numbered the people. So (P)David said to the Lord, (Q)“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 (R)done very foolishly.”
11 Now when David arose in the morning, the word of the Lord came to the prophet (S)Gad, David’s (T)seer, saying, 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.” ’ ” 13 So Gad came to David and told him; and he said to him, “Shall (U)seven[c] 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.”
14 And David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of the Lord, (V)for His mercies are great; but (W)do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
15 So (X)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. 16 (Y)And when the [d]angel stretched out His hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, (Z)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 [e]Araunah the Jebusite.
17 Then David spoke to the Lord when he saw the angel who was striking the people, and said, “Surely (AA)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.”
The Altar on the Threshing Floor(AB)
18 And Gad came that day to David and said to him, (AC)“Go up, erect an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.” 19 So David, according to the word of Gad, went up as the Lord commanded. 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.
21 Then Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?”
(AD)And David said, “To buy the threshing floor from you, to build an altar to the Lord, that (AE)the plague may be withdrawn from the people.”
22 Now Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer up whatever seems good to him. (AF)Look, here are oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing implements and the yokes of the oxen for wood. 23 All these, O king, Araunah has given to the king.”
And Araunah said to the king, “May the Lord your God (AG)accept you.”
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 (AH)David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. 25 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. (AI)So the Lord heeded the prayers for the land, and (AJ)the plague was withdrawn from Israel.

King James Version
24 And again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
2 For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.
3 And Joab said unto the king, Now the Lord thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
4 Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
5 And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that lieth in the midst of the river of Gad, and toward Jazer:
6 Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi; and they came to Danjaan, and about to Zidon,
7 And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, even to Beersheba.
8 So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
9 And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
10 And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the Lord, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O Lord, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
11 For when David was up in the morning, the word of the Lord came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
12 Go and say unto David, Thus saith the Lord, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
13 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
14 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the Lord; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
15 So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.
16 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.
17 And David spake unto the Lord when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.
18 And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the Lord in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.
19 And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the Lord commanded.
20 And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.
21 And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the Lord, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
22 And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.
23 All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The Lord thy God accept thee.
24 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25 And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
