21 — 1 Paralipomeni

1And Satan rose up against Israel: and moved David to number Israel.Ma Satan si levò su contro Israele: e incitò David a fare il censo d'Israele.BVT Satan rose agaynst Israel: and moued Dauid to number Israel.Consurrexit autem Satan contra Israël, et concitavit David ut numeraret Israël. 2And David said to Joab, and to the rulers of the people: Go, and number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me the number of them that I may know it.David pertanto disse a Gioab, e ai capi del popolo: Andate, e numerate Israele da Bersabea sino a Dan: e riferitemi la somma, perchè io vo' saperla.And Dauid sayd to Ioab, and to the princes of the people: Goe, and number Israel from Bersabee vnto Dan, and bring me the number that I may know.Dixitque David ad Joab et ad principes populi: Ite, et numerate Israël a Bersabee usque Dan: et afferte mihi numerum ut sciam. 3And Joab answered: The Lord make his people a hundred times more than they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all thy servants: why doth my lord seek this thing, which may be imputed as a sin to Israel?E Gioab rispose: Il Signore aumenti il suo popolo cento volte più di quel, ch'egli è: ma non son eglino, o re mio signore, tutti quanti tuoi servi? Per qual motivo va cercando il signor mio di fare una cosa, che sarà imputata a peccato ad Israele?And Ioab, answered Our Lord increase his people an hundred fold more then they are: are they not my lord king al thy seruantes? why doth my lord seeke this, which may be reputed for a sinne to Israel?Responditque Joab: Augeat Dominus populum suum centuplum quam sunt: nonne, domine mi rex, omnes servi tui sunt ? quare hoc quærit dominus meus, quod in peccatum reputetur Israëli ? 4But the king’s word rather prevailed: and Joab departed, and went through all Israel: and returned to Jerusalem.Ma prevalse il parere del re: e Gioab andò, e fece il giro di tutto Israele: e tornò a Gerusalemme:But the kinges word preuailed more: and Ioab went forth, and went about al Israel: and returned to Ierusalem.Sed sermo regis magis prævaluit: egressusque est Joab, et circuivit universum Israël: et reversus est Jerusalem, 5And he gave David the number of them, whom he had surveyed: and all the number of Israel was found to be eleven hundred thousand men that drew the sword: and of Juda four hundred and seventy thousand fighting men.E portò a David i ruoli di que' luoghi, che avea già visitati: e tutto questo numero d'Israeliti si trovò essere di un milione, e cento mila uomini atti a maneggiar la spada: e quattrocento settanta mila combattenti di Giuda.And he gaue Dauid the number of them, whom he had surueyed: and al the number of Israel was found a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and of Iuda foure hundred seuentie thousand men of warre.deditque David numerum eorum quos circuierat: et inventus est omnis numerus Israël, mille millia et centum millia virorum educentium gladium: de Juda autem quadringenta septuaginta millia bellatorum.

6But Levi and Benjamin he did not number: for Joab unwillingly executed the king’s orders.Perocché Gioab di mala voglia adempiendo l'ordine del re, non fece il censo di Levi, e di Beniamin.For Leui and Beniamin he numbred not: because Ioab vnwillingly executed the kings commandement.Nam Levi et Benjamin non numeravit: eo quod Joab invitus exsequeretur regis imperium. 7And God was displeased with this thing that was commanded: and he struck Israel.E a Dio dispiacque il comandamento dato dal re; e punì Israele.And that which was commanded displeased God: and he stroke Israel.Displicuit autem Deo quod jussum erat: et percussit Israël. 8And David said to God: I have sinned exceedingly in doing this: I beseech thee take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done foolishly.E David disse a Dio: Ho peccato grandemente facendo tal cosa: perdona, o Signore, l'iniquità del tuo servo, perchè io stoltamente ho operato.And Dauid sayd to God: I haue sinned excedingly in that I would doe this: I besech thee take away the iniquitie of thy seruant, because I haue done foolishly.Dixitque David ad Deum: Peccavi nimis ut hoc facerem: obsecro, aufer iniquitatem servi tui, quia insipienter egi. 9And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer of David, saying:E il Signore parlò a Gad Veggente di David, e disse;And our Lord spake to Gad the Seer of Dauid, saying:Et locutus est Dominus ad Gad videntem David, dicens: 10Go, and speak to David, and tell him: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee the choice of three things: choose one which thou wilt, and I will do it to thee.Va, e parla a Davidde, e digli: Il Signore dice così: Io ti do l'elezione di una di queste tre cose: scegli quella, che vorrai ricever da me.Goe, and speake to Dauid, and tel him: Thus sayth our Lord: I geue thee the choyse of three thinges, choose one which thou wilt, and I wil doe it to thee.Vade, et loquere ad David, et dic ei: Hæc dicit Dominus: Trium tibi optionem do: unum, quod volueris, elige, et faciam tibi. 11And when Gad was come to David, he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: choose which thou wilt:E Gad essendosi presentato a Davidde, disse: Queste cose dice il Signore: Scegli quel, che ti pare:And when Gad was come to Dauid, he sayd to him: Thus sayth our Lord: Choose which thou wilt:Cumque venisset Gad ad David, dixit ei: Hæc dicit Doinus: Elige, quod volueris: 12Either three years famine: or three months to flee from thy enemies, and not to be able to escape their sword: or three days to have the sword of the Lord, and pestilence in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying in all the coasts of Israel: now therefore see what I shall answer him who sent me.O la fame per tre anni: o per tre mesi andar fuggendo i tuoi nemici, senza poterti sottrarre alla spada loro: o che per tre dì la spada del Signore, e , la pestilenza vada in giro per il paese, e che l'Angelo del Signore vada facendo strage in tutte le regioni d'Israele: ora vedi tu quel, ch'io debba rispondere a colui, che mi ha mandato.either three yeares famine: or three monethes to flee from thine enemies, and not to be able to escape their sword: or three dayes the sword of our Lord, and pestilence to be in the land, and the Angel of our Lord to kil in al the costes of Israel: now therfore see what I shal answer him, that sent me.aut tribus annis famem; aut tribus mensibus te fugere hostes tuos, et gladium eorum non posse evadere; aut tribus diebus gladium Domini, et pestilentiam versari in terra, et angleum Domini interficere in universis finibus Israël: nunc igitur vide quid respondeam ei qui misit me.

13And David said to Gad: I am on every side in a great strait: but it is better for me to fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies are many, than into the hands of men.Rispose Davidde a Gad: Dovunque io mi volga sono in angustie; ma è meglio per me il cader nelle mani del Signore (perocché molte sono le sue misericordie), che il cader nelle mani degli uomini.And Dauid sayd to Gad: I am on euerie side in great distresse: but it is better, that I fal into the handes of our Lord, because his mercies be manie, then into the handes of men.Et dixit David ad Gad: Ex omni parte me angustiæ premunt: sed melius mihi est ut incidam in manus Domini, quia multæ sunt miserationes ejus, quam in manus hominum. 14So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel. And there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.Mandò adunque il Signore la peste in Israele: e perirono d'Israele: settanta mila uomini.Our Lord therfore sent the pestilence in Israel and there fel of Israel seuentie thousand men.Misit ergo Dominus pestilentiam in Israël: et ceciderunt de Israël septuaginta millia virorum. 15And he sent an angel to Jerusalem, to strike it: and as he was striking it, the Lord beheld, and took pity for the greatness of the evil: and said to the angel that destroyed: It is enough, now stop thy hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.Mandò ancora l'Angelo a Gerusalemme per flagellarla: e mentre ell'era in desolazione, il Signore gettò sopra di lei il suo sguardo, ed ebbe compassione di tanto male; e intimò all'Angelo sterminatore: Non più; trattieni la tua mano. Or l'Angelo del Signore si stava presso all'aia di Ornan Jebuseo.He sent also an Angel into Ierusalem, to strike it: and when it was striken, our Lord saw, and had compassion vpon the greatenesse of the euil: and commanded the Angel, that smote: It is sufficient, now let thy hand cease. Moreouer the Angel of our Lord stoode beside the floore of Ornan the Iebuseite.Misit quoque angelum in Jerusalem ut percuteret eam: cumque percuteretur, vidit Dominus, et misertus est super magnitudine mali: et imperavit angelo qui percutiebat: Sufficit, jam cesset manus tua. Porro angelus Domini stabat juxta aream Ornan Jebusæi. 16And David lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand, turned against Jerusalem: and both he and the ancients clothed in haircloth, fell down flat on the ground.E alzando Davidde i suoi occhi, vide l'Angelo del Signore, che stava tra cielo, e terra, e aveva in mano la spada sguainata volta contro Gerusalemme: e tanto egli, come i seniori vestiti di sacco, si prostraron bocconi per terra.And Dauid lifting vp his eies, saw the Angel of our Lord standing betwen heauen and earth, and a sword drawen in his hand, turned agaynst Ierusalem: & they fel as wel he as the ancientes clothed in heare clothes, flatte on the earth.Levansque David oculos suos, vidit angelum Domini stantem inter cælum et terram, et evaginatum gladium in manu ejus, et versum contra Jerusalem: et ceciderunt tam ipse quam majores natu, vestiti ciliciis, proni in terram.

17And David said to God: Am not I he that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned: it is I that have done the evil: but as for this flock, what hath it deserved? O Lord my God, let thy hand be turned, I beseech thee, upon me, and upon my father’s house: and let not thy people be destroyed.E David disse a Dio: Non son io quegli, che ordinai, che si facesse il censo del popolo? Io sono, che ho peccato, io, che ho fatto il male: che ha meritato questo gregge? Signore Dio mio, rivolgi, ti prego, contro di me la tua mano, e contro la casa del padre mio: ma non sia flagellato il tuo popolo.And Dauid sayd to God: Am not I he, that commanded the people to be mumbred? It is I that haue sinned: it is I that haue done the euil: this flocke what hath it deserued? Lord my God let thy hand be turned I besech thee vpon me, and vpon my fathers house: and let not thy people be strikenDixitque David ad Deum: Nonne ego sum, qui jussi ut numeraretur populus ? ego, qui peccavi ? ego, qui malum feci ? iste grex, quid commeruit ? Domine Deus meus, vertatur, obsecro, manus tua in me, et in domum patris mei: populus autem tuus non percutiatur. 18And the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to tell David, to go up, and build an altar to the Lord God in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.E l'Angelo del Signore comandò a Gad, che dicesse a Davidde, che andasse ad ergere un altare al Signore Dio nell'aia di Ornan Jebuseo.And the Angel of our Lord commanded Gad to tel Dauid, that he should goe vp, and build an altar to our Lord God in the floore of Ornan the Iebuseite.Angelus autem Domini præcepit Gad ut diceret Davidi ut ascenderet, exstrueretque altare Domino Deo in area Ornan Jebusæi. 19And David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spoke to him in the name of the Lord.Andò adunque David secondo quel, che gli avea detto Gad a nome del Signore.Dauid therfore went vp according to the word of Gad, which he had spoken to him in the name of our Lord.Ascendit ergo David juxta sermonem Gad, quem locutus ei fuerat ex nomine Domini. 20Now when Ornan looked up, and saw the angel, he and his four sons hid themselves: for at that time he was thrashing wheat in the floor.Ma Ornan, e i suoi quattro figliuoli nell'alzare gli occhi avendo veduto e l'Angelo, andarono a nascondersi: perocché allora battevano il grano nell'aia.Moreouer Ornan when he had looked vp, and sene the Angel, and his foure sonnes with him, they hid themselues: for at that time he threshed wheat in the floore.Porro Ornan cum suspexisset et vidisset angelum, quatuorque filii ejus cum eo, absconderunt se: nam eo tempore terebat in area triticum.

21And as David was coming to Ornan, Ornan saw him, and went out of the thrashingfloor to meet him, and bowed down to him with his face to the ground.Ma in arrivando David a casa di Ornan, Ornan lo vide, e si mosse dall'aia verso di lui, e lo adorò inchinandosi fino a terra.Therfore when Dauid came to Ornan, Ornan beheld him, & went forth to mete him out of the floore, and adored him flatte on the ground.Igitur cum veniret David ad Ornan, conspexit eum Ornan, et processit ei obviam de area, et adoravit eum pronus in terram. 22And David said to him: Give me this place of thy thrashingfloor, that I may build therein an altar to the Lord: but thou shalt take of me as much money as it is worth, that the plague may cease from the people.E David gli disse: Dammi il sito della tua aia, prendendone tu il valore e in contanti, affinchè io vi edifichi un altare al Signore, onde non sia più flagellato il popolo.And Dauid sayd to him: Geue me the place of thy floore, that I may build therein an altar to our Lord: so that thou take as much siluer as it is worth, and the plague may cease from the people.Dixitque ei David: Da mihi locum areæ tuæ, ut ædificem in ea altare Domino: ita ut quantum valet argenti accipias, et cesset plaga a populo. 23And Ornan said to David: Take it, and let my lord the king do all that pleaseth him: and moreover the oxen also I give for a holocaust, and the drays for wood, and the wheat for the sacrifice: I will give it all willingly.E Ornan disse a David: Prendila; o re signor mio, e fanne quel, che ti piace: anzi anche i bovi io do pell'olocausto, e le tregge per far il fuoco, e il grano pel sagrifizio: tutto volentieri darò.And Ornan sayd to Dauid: Take it, and let my lord the king doe whatsoeuer pleaseth him: yea the oxen also I geue for holocaust, and the dreyes for wood, and wheat for sacrifice: I wil giue al thinges willingly.Dixit autem Ornan ad David: Tolle, et faciat dominus meus rex quodcumque ei placet: sed et boves do in holocaustum, et tribulas in ligna, et triticum in sacrificium: omnia libens præbebo. 24And king David said to him: It shall not be so, but I will give thee money as much as it is worth: for I must not take it from thee, and so offer to the Lord holocausts free cost.E il re David gli disse: Non sarà così, ma io ne pagherò il valore a denaro contante: perocché non debbo io togliere a te, e così offerire al Signore olocausti, che non mi costino nulla.And king Dauid sayd to him: It shal not be so, but I wil geue thee siluer as much as it is worth: for I may not take it from thee, and so offer to our Lord holocaustes geuen gratis.Dixitque ei rex David: Nequaquam ita fiet, sed argentum dabo quantum valet: neque enim tibi auferre debeo, et sic offerre Domino holocausta gratuita.

25So David gave to Ornan for the place, six hundred sicles of gold of just weight.David dunque diede ad Ornan per prezzo del luogo secento sicli d'oro di giusto peso.Dauid therfore gaue Ornan for the place, six hundred sicles of gold of most iust weight.Dedit ergo David Ornan pro loco siclos auri justissimi ponderis sexcentos. 26And he built there an altar to the Lord: and he offered holocausts, and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord, and he heard him by sending fire from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust.E ivi edificò un altare al Signore, e offerì olocausti, e ostie pacifiche, e invocò il Signore, il quale lo esaudì, mandando fuoco dal cielo sull'altare dell'olocausto.And he built there an altar to our Lord: and he offered holocaustes, and pacifiques, and he inuocated our Lord, & he heard him in fyre from heauen vpon the altar of holocauste.Et ædificavit ibi altare Domino, obtulitque holocausta et pacifica, et invocavit Dominum; et exaudivit eum in igne de cælo super altare holocausti. 27And the Lord commanded the angel: and he put up his sword again into the sheath.E il Signore comandò all'Angelo di rimettere la spada nel fodero.And our Lord commanded the Angel: and he turned his sword into the scabbard.Præcepitque Dominus angelo, et convertit gladium suum in vaginam. 28And David seeing that the Lord had heard him in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, forthwith offered victims there.E immediatamente Davidde veggendo, come il Signore lo aveva esaudito nell'aja di Ornan Jebuseo, v'immolò delle vittime.Dauid therfore forthwith, seing that our Lord had heard him in the floore of Ornan the Iebuseite, immolated victimes there.Protinus ergo David, videns quod exaudisset eum Dominus in area Ornan Jebusæi, immolavit ibi victimas. 29But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, was at that time in the high place of Gabaon.Or il tabernacolo del Signore fatto da Mosè nel deserto, e l'altare degli olocausti erano in quel tempo nel luogo eccelso di Gabaon.But the tabernacle of our Lord. which Moyses made in the desert, and the altar of holocaustes, was at that time in the excelse of Gabaon.Tabernaculum autem Domini, quod fecerat Moyses in deserto, et altare holocaustorum, ea tempestate erat in excelso Gabaon. 30And David could not go to the altar there to pray to God: for he was seized with an exceeding great fear, seeing the sword of the angel of the Lord.E David non ebbe forze per andare a quell'altare, per ivi pregare il Signore per l'eccessivo spavento, che aveva avuto al veder la spada dell'Angelo del Signore.And Dauid could not goe to the altar to pray God there: for he had bene frighted with exceding feare, seing the sword of the Angel of our Lord.Et non prævaluit David ire ad altare ut ibi obsecraret Deum: nimio enim fuerat in timore perterritus, videns gladium angeli Domini.
