역대상 21

1사단이 일어나 이스라엘을 대적하고 다윗을 격동하여 이스라엘을 계수하게 하니라 2다윗이 요압과 백성의 두목에게 이르되 너희는 가서 브엘세바에서부터 단까지 이스라엘을 계수하고 돌아와서 내게 고하여 그 수효를 알게 하라 3요압이 가로되 여호와께서 그 백성을 지금보다 백 배나 더하시기를 원하나이다 내 주 왕이여 이 백성이 다 내 주의 종이 아니니이까 내 주께서 어찌하여 이 일을 명하시나이까 어찌하여 이스라엘로 죄가 있게 하시나이까 하나 4왕의 명령이 요압을 재촉한지라 드디어 떠나서 이스라엘 땅에 두루 다닌 후에 예루살렘으로 돌아와서 5백성의 수효를 다윗에게 고하니 이스라엘 중에 칼을 뺄만한 자가 일백십만이요 유다 중에 칼을 뺄 만한 자가 사십칠만이라 6요압이 왕의 명령을 밉게 여겨 레위와 베냐민 사람은 계수하지 아니하였더라 7하나님이 이 일을 괘씸히 여기사 이스라엘을 치시매 8다윗이 하나님께 아뢰되 내가 이 일을 행함으로 큰 죄를 범하였나이다 이제 간구하옵나니 종의 죄를 사하여 주옵소서 내가 심히 미련하게 행하였나이다 하니라 9여호와께서 다윗의 선견자 갓에게 이르시되 10가서 다윗에게 말하여 이르기를 여호와의 말씀이 내가 네게 세 가지를 보이노니 그 중에서 하나를 택하라 내가 그것을 네게 행하리라 하셨다 하라 11갓이 다윗에게 나아가 고하되 여호와의 말씀이 너는 마음대로 택하라 12혹 삼 년 기근일지, 혹 네가 석 달을 대적에게 패하여 대적의 칼에 쫓길 일일지, 혹 여호와의 칼 곧 온역이 사흘동안 이 땅에 유행하며 여호와의 사자가 이스라엘 온 지경을 멸할 일일지 하셨나니 내가 무슨 말로 나를 보내신 이에게 대답할 것을 결정하소서 13다윗이 갓에게 이르되 내가 곤경에 있도다 여호와께서는 긍휼이 심히 크시니 내가 그의 손에 빠지고 사람의 손에 빠지지 않기를 원하나이다 14이에 여호와께서 이스라엘 백성에게 온역을 내리시매 이스라엘 백성의 죽은 자가 칠만이었더라 15하나님이 예루살렘을 멸하러 사자를 보내셨더니 사자가 멸하려 할 때에 여호와께서 보시고 이 재앙 내림을 뉘우치사 멸하는 사자에게 이르시되 족하다 이제는 네 손을 거두라 하시니 때에 여호와의 사자가 여부스 사람 오르난의 타작 마당 곁에 선지라 16다윗이 눈을 들어보매 여호와의 사자가 천지 사이에 섰고 칼을 빼어 손에 들고 예루살렘 편을 가리켰는지라 다윗이 장로들로 더불어 굵은 베를 입고 얼굴을 땅에 대고 엎드려 17하나님께 아뢰되 명하여 백성을 계수하게 한 자가 내가 아니니이까 범죄하고 악을 행한 자는 곧 내니이다 이 양무리는 무엇을 행하였나이까 청컨대 나의 하나님 여호와여 주의 손으로 나와 내 아비의 집을 치시고 주의 백성에게 재앙을 내리지 마옵소서 18여호와의 사자가 갓을 명하여 다윗에게 이르시기를 올라가서 여부스 사람 오르난의 타작 마당에서 여호와를 위하여 단을 쌓으라 하신지라 19다윗이 이에 갓이 여호와의 이름으로 이른 말씀대로 올라가니라 20때에 오르난이 밀을 타작하다가 돌이켜 천사를 보고 네 아들과 함께 숨었더니 21다윗이 오르난에게 나아가매 오르난이 내어다보다가 다윗을 보고 타작 마당에서 나와서 얼굴을 땅에 대고 절하매 22다윗이 오르난에게 이르되 이 타작하는 곳을 내게 붙이라 너는 상당한 값으로 붙이라 내가 여호와를 위하여 여기 한 단을 쌓으리니 그리하면 온역이 백성 중에서 그치리라 23오르난이 다윗에게 고하되 왕은 취하소서 내 주 왕의 좋게 여기시는 대로 행하소서 보소서 내가 이것들을 드리나이다 소들은 번제물로, 곡식 떠는 기계는 화목으로, 밀은 소제물로 삼으시기 위하여 다 드리나이다 24다윗 왕이 오르난에게 이르되 그렇지 아니하다 내가 결단코 상당한 값으로 사리라 내가 여호와께 드리려고 네 물건을 취하지 아니하겠고 값 없이는 번제를 드리지도 아니하리라 하고 25그 기지 값으로 금 육백 세겔을 달아 오르난에게 주고 26다윗이 거기서 여호와를 위하여 단을 쌓고 번제와 화목제를 드려 여호와께 아뢰었더니 여호와께서 하늘에서부터 번제단 위에 불을 내려 응답하시고 27사자를 명하시매 저가 칼을 집에 꽂았더라 28이 때에 다윗이 여호와께서 여부스 사람 오르난의 타작 마당에서 응답하심을 보고 거기서 제사를 드렸으니 29옛적에 모세가 광야에서 지은 여호와의 장막과 번제단이 그 때에 기브온 산당에 있으나 30다윗이 여호와의 사자의 칼을 두려워하여 감히 그 앞에 가서 하나님께 묻지 못함이라

1Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel. 2David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, “Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them.” 3Joab said, “May Yahweh make his people a hundred times as many as they are. But, my lord the king, aren’t they all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?” 4Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. 5Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew sword: and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who drew sword. 6But he didn’t count Levi and Benjamin among them; for the king’s word was abominable to Joab. 7God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel. 8David said to God, “I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.” 9Yahweh spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying, 10“Go and speak to David, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’” 11So Gad came to David, and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Take your choice: 12either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days the sword of Yahweh, even pestilence in the land, and Yahweh’s angel destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.’” 13David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into the hand of Yahweh; for his mercies are very great. Let me not fall into the hand of man.” 14So Yahweh sent a pestilence on Israel; and seventy thousand men of Israel fell. 15God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was about to destroy, Yahweh saw, and he relented of the disaster, and said to the destroying angel, “It is enough; now stay your hand.” Yahweh’s angel was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 16David lifted up his eyes, and saw Yahweh’s angel standing between earth and the sky, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces. 17David said to God, “Isn’t it I who commanded the people to be numbered? It is even I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, O Yahweh my God, be against me, and against my father’s house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued.” 18Then Yahweh’s angel commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up, and raise an altar to Yahweh in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 19David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in Yahweh’s name. 20Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. 21As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground. 22Then David said to Ornan, “Give me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar to Yahweh on it. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.” 23Ornan said to David, “Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Behold, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all.” 24King David said to Ornan, “No; but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for Yahweh, nor offer a burnt offering without cost.” 25So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place. 26David built an altar to Yahweh there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on Yahweh; and he answered him from the sky by fire on the altar of burnt offering. 27Yahweh commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath. 28At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. 29For Yahweh’s tabernacle, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon. 30But David couldn’t go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of Yahweh’s angel.

1Toen stond de satan op tegen Israel, en hij porde David aan, dat hij Israel telde. 2En David zeide tot Joab en tot de oversten des volks: Gaat heen, telt Israel van Ber-seba tot Dan toe, en brengt hen tot mij, dat ik hun getal wete. 3Toen zeide Joab: De HEERE doe tot Zijn volk, gelijk zij nu zijn, honderdmaal meer; zijn zij niet allen, o mijn heer koning, mijn heer tot knechten? Waarom verzoekt mijn heer dit? Waarom zou het Israel tot schuld worden? 4Doch het woord des konings nam de overhand tegen Joab; derhalve toog Joab uit, en hij doorwandelde gans Israel; daarna kwam hij weder te Jeruzalem. 5En Joab gaf David de som van het gestelde volk; en gans Israel was elfhonderd duizend man, die het zwaard uittrokken, en Juda vierhonderd duizend, en zeventig duizend man, die het zwaard uittrokken. 6Doch Levi en Benjamin telde hij onder dezelve niet; want des konings woord was Joab een gruwel. 7En deze zaak was kwaad in de ogen Gods; daarom sloeg Hij Israel. 8Toen zeide David tot God: Ik heb zeer gezondigd, dat ik deze zaak gedaan heb; maar neem toch nu de misdaad Uws knechts weg, want ik heb zeer zottelijk gehandeld. 9De HEERE nu sprak tot Gad, den ziener van David, zeggende: 10Ga heen, en spreek tot David, zeggende: Aldus zegt de HEERE: Drie dingen leg Ik u voor; kies u een uit die, dat Ik u doe. 11En Gad kwam tot David, en zeide tot hem: Zo zegt de HEERE: Neem u uit: 12Of drie jaren honger, of drie maanden verteerd te worden voor het aangezicht uwer wederpartij, en dat het zwaard uwer vijanden u achterhale; of drie dagen het zwaard des HEEREN, dat is, de pestilentie in het land, en een verdervenden engel des HEEREN in al de landpalen van Israel? Zo zie nu toe, wat antwoord ik Dien zal wedergeven, Die mij gezonden heeft. 13Toen zeide David tot Gad: Mij is zeer bange; laat mij toch in de hand des HEEREN vallen; want Zijn barmhartigheden zijn zeer vele, maar laat mij in de hand der mensen niet vallen. 14De HEERE dan gaf pestilentie in Israel; en er vielen van Israel zeventig duizend man. 15En God zond een engel naar Jeruzalem, om die te verderven; en als hij haar verdierf, zag het de HEERE, en het berouwde Hem over dat kwaad; en Hij zeide tot den verdervenden engel: Het is genoeg, trek nu uw hand af. De engel des HEEREN nu stond bij den dorsvloer van Ornan, den Jebusiet. 16Als David zijn ogen ophief, zo zag hij den engel des HEEREN, staande tussen de aarde en tussen den hemel, met zijn uitgetrokken zwaard in zijn hand, uitgestrekt over Jeruzalem; toen viel David, en de oudsten, bedekt met zakken, op hun aangezichten. 17En David zeide tot God: Ben ik het niet, die gezegd heb, dat men het volk tellen zou? Ja, ik zelf ben het, die gezondigd en zeer kwalijk gehandeld heb; maar deze schapen, wat hebben die gedaan? O HEERE, mijn God, dat toch Uw hand tegen mij, en tegen het huis mijns vaders zij, maar niet tegen Uw volk ter plage. 18Toen zeide de engel des HEEREN tot Gad, dat hij David zeggen zou, dat David zou opgaan, om den HEERE een altaar op te richten op den dorsvloer van Ornan, den Jebusiet. 19Zo ging dan David op naar het woord van Gad, dat hij in den Naam des HEEREN gesproken had. 20Toen zich Ornan wendde, zo zag hij den engel; en zijn vier zonen, die bij hem waren, verstaken zich; en Ornan dorste tarwe. 21En David kwam tot Ornan; en Ornan zag toe, en zag David; zo ging hij uit den dorsvloer, en boog zich neder voor David, met het aangezicht ter aarde. 22En David zeide tot Ornan: Geef mij de plaats des dorsvloers, dat ik op dezelve den HEERE een altaar bouwe; geef ze mij voor het volle geld, opdat deze plage opgehouden worde van over het volk. 23Toen zeide Ornan tot David: Neem ze maar henen, en mijn heer de koning doe wat goed is in zijn ogen; zie, ik geef deze runderen tot brandofferen, en deze sleden tot hout, en de tarwe tot spijsoffer; ik geef het al. 24En de koning David zeide tot Ornan: Neen, maar ik zal het zekerlijk kopen voor het volle geld; want ik zal voor den HEERE niet nemen wat uw is, dat ik een brandoffer om niet offere. 25En David gaf aan Ornan voor die plaats zeshonderd gouden sikkelen van gewicht. 26Toen bouwde David aldaar den HEERE een altaar, en hij offerde brandofferen en dankofferen. Als hij den HEERE aanriep, zo antwoordde Hij hem door vuur uit den hemel, op het brandofferaltaar. 27En de HEERE zeide tot den engel, dat hij zijn zwaard weder in zijn schede steken zou. 28Ter zelfder tijd, toen David zag, dat de HEERE hem geantwoord had op den dorsvloer van Ornan, den Jebusiet, zo offerde hij aldaar; 29Want de tabernakel des HEEREN, dien Mozes in de woestijn gemaakt had, en het altaar des brandoffers, was te dier tijd op de hoogte te Gibeon. 30David nu kon niet heengaan voor hetzelve, om God te zoeken; want hij was verschrikt voor het zwaard van den engel des HEEREN.
