II Samuel 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.

et addidit furor Domini irasci contra Israhel commovitque David in eis dicentem vade numera Israhel et Iudam

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 Beer–sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.

dixitque rex ad Ioab principem exercitus sui perambula omnes tribus Israhel a Dan usque Bersabee et numerate populum ut sciam numerum eius

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?

dixitque Ioab regi adaugeat Dominus Deus tuus ad populum quantus nunc est iterumque centuplicet in conspectu domini mei regis sed quid sibi dominus meus rex vult in re huiuscemodi

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.

obtinuit autem sermo regis verba Ioab et principum exercitus egressusque est Ioab et principes militum a facie regis ut numerarent populum Israhel

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:

cumque pertransissent Iordanem venerunt in Aroer ad dextram urbis quae est in valle Gad

Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim–hodshi; and they came to Dan–jaan, and about to Zidon,

et per Iazer transierunt in Galaad et in terram inferiorem Hodsi et venerunt in Dan silvestria circumeuntesque iuxta Sidonem

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 Beer–sheba.

transierunt propter moenia Tyri et omnem terram Hevei et Chananei veneruntque ad meridiem Iuda in Bersabee

So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

et lustrata universa terra adfuerunt post novem menses et viginti dies in Hierusalem

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.

dedit ergo Ioab numerum descriptionis populi regi et inventa sunt de Israhel octingenta milia virorum fortium qui educerent gladium et de Iuda quingenta milia pugnatorum

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.

percussit autem cor David eum postquam numeratus est populus et dixit David ad Dominum peccavi valde in hoc facto sed precor Domine ut transferas iniquitatem servi tui quia stulte egi nimis

For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

surrexit itaque David mane et sermo Domini factus est ad Gad propheten et videntem David dicens

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.

vade et loquere ad David haec dicit Dominus trium tibi datur optio elige unum quod volueris ex his ut faciam tibi

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.

cumque venisset Gad ad David nuntiavit ei dicens aut septem annis veniet tibi fames in terra tua aut tribus mensibus fugies adversarios tuos et illi persequentur aut certe tribus diebus erit pestilentia in terra tua nunc ergo delibera et vide quem respondeam ei qui me misit sermonem

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.

dixit autem David ad Gad artor nimis sed melius est ut incidam in manu Domini multae enim misericordiae eius sunt quam in manu hominis

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 Beer–sheba seventy thousand men.

inmisitque Dominus pestilentiam in Israhel de mane usque ad tempus constitutum et mortui sunt ex populo a Dan usque Bersabee septuaginta milia virorum

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.

cumque extendisset manum angelus Dei super Hierusalem ut disperderet eam misertus est Dominus super adflictione et ait angelo percutienti populum sufficit nunc contine manum tuam erat autem angelus Domini iuxta aream Areuna Iebusei

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.

dixitque David ad Dominum cum vidisset angelum caedentem populum ego sum qui peccavi ego inique egi isti qui oves sunt quid fecerunt vertatur obsecro manus tua contra me et contra domum patris mei

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.

venit autem Gad ad David in die illa et dixit ei ascende constitue Domino altare in area Areuna Iebusei

And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.

et ascendit David iuxta sermonem Gad quem praeceperat ei Dominus

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.

conspiciensque Areuna animadvertit regem et servos eius transire ad se

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.

et egressus adoravit regem prono vultu in terra et ait quid causae est ut veniat dominus meus rex ad servum suum cui David ait ut emam a te aream et aedificem altare Domino et cesset interfectio quae grassatur in populo

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.

et ait Areuna ad David accipiat et offerat dominus meus rex sicut ei placet habes boves in holocaustum et plaustrum et iuga boum in usum lignorum

All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.

omnia dedit Areuna rex regi dixitque Areuna ad regem Dominus Deus tuus suscipiat votum tuum

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.

cui respondens rex ait nequaquam ut vis sed emam pretio a te et non offeram Domino Deo meo holocausta gratuita emit ergo David aream et boves argenti siclis quinquaginta

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.

et aedificavit ibi David altare Domino et obtulit holocausta et pacifica et repropitiatus est Dominus terrae et cohibita est plaga ab Israhel
