WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Satanás se levantó contra Israel e incitó a David a hacer un censo.
1 Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to take a census of Israel.
2 David ordenó a Joab y a los jefes del pueblo: «Cuenten a los israelitas desde Beerseba hasta Dan y tráiganme el resultado para saber cuántos son».
2 David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, “Go, count Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know how many there are.”
3 Joab respondió: «¡Que el Señor multiplique por cien a su pueblo! Pero, mi señor el rey, ¿acaso no son todos ellos tus siervos? ¿Por qué quieres hacer esto y traer culpa sobre Israel?».
3 Joab 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?”
4 Sin embargo, la orden del rey se impuso. Joab recorrió todo Israel y regresó a Jerusalén.
4 Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel, then came to Jerusalem.
5 Joab le informó a David el resultado del censo: Israel tenía un millón cien mil hombres capaces de empuñar la espada, y Judá tenía cuatrocientos setenta mil.
5 Joab gave the sum of the census of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew a sword; and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who drew a sword.
6 Joab no contó a Leví ni a Benjamín, porque le repugnaba la orden del rey.
6 But he didn’t count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.
7 Aquello desagradó a Dios, y castigó a Israel.
7 God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel.
8 David le dijo a Dios: «He pecado gravemente al hacer esto. Te ruego que perdones mi culpa, pues actué con mucha necedad».
8 David 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.”
9 El Señor habló a Gad, el vidente de David:
9 Yahweh spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying,
10 «Ve y dile a David: “El Señor te ofrece tres castigos. Elige uno para que lo ejecute”».
10 “Go and speak to David, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”
11 Gad fue a ver a David y le dijo: «El Señor te ofrece elegir:
11 So Gad came to David and said to him, “Yahweh says, ‘Take your choice:
12 tres años de hambre, tres meses de derrota y huida ante tus enemigos, o tres días de la espada del Señor, con una plaga en el país mientras su ángel lleva la destrucción por todo Israel. Piensa bien qué respuesta debo llevar a quien me envió».
12 either 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 of 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.’”
13 David respondió a Gad: «Estoy en una situación angustiosa. Prefiero caer en manos del Señor, porque su misericordia es grande, y no en manos humanas».
13 David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into Yahweh’s hand, for his mercies are very great. Don’t let me fall into man’s hand.”
14 Entonces el Señor envió una plaga sobre Israel y murieron setenta mil hombres.
14 So Yahweh sent a pestilence on Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
15 Dios envió un ángel para destruir Jerusalén. Cuando estaba por hacerlo, el Señor vio lo que sucedía y detuvo el castigo. Le dijo al ángel destructor: «¡Basta! No sigas». El ángel estaba junto a la era de Ornán el jebuseo.
15 God 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 withdraw your hand.” Yahweh’s angel was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 David vio al ángel del Señor entre el cielo y la tierra, con una espada desenvainada extendida sobre Jerusalén. David y los jefes, vestidos de ropa áspera en señal de duelo, se postraron rostro en tierra.
16 David 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.
17 David le dijo a Dios: «Yo ordené el censo. Yo pequé e hice lo malo. Pero estas personas son como ovejas; ¿qué han hecho? Señor Dios, castígame a mí y a mi familia, pero detén la plaga sobre tu pueblo».
17 David said to God, “Isn’t it I who commanded the people to be counted? 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.”
18 El ángel del Señor le ordenó a Gad que dijera a David que levantara un altar al Señor en la era de Ornán el jebuseo.
18 Then Yahweh’s angel commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up and raise an altar to Yahweh on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 David fue conforme a lo que Gad le había dicho en nombre del Señor.
19 David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in Yahweh’s name.
20 Ornán se volvió y vio al ángel; sus cuatro hijos se escondieron. Ornán estaba trillando el trigo.
20 Ornan turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
21 Al ver llegar a David, Ornán salió de la era y se postró rostro en tierra ante él.
21 As 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.
22 David le dijo: «Véndeme esta era al precio justo para que construya aquí un altar al Señor y se detenga la plaga que afecta al pueblo».
22 Then David said to Ornan, “Sell 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.”
23 Ornán respondió: «Tómala, mi señor el rey, y haz lo que te parezca bien. Te doy los bueyes para el holocausto, los instrumentos de trillar como leña y el grano para la ofrenda de harina. Te lo doy todo».
23 Ornan 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.”
24 Pero el rey David respondió: «No. Te pagaré el precio completo. No tomaré lo que es tuyo para ofrecerlo al Señor ni presentaré un holocausto que no me haya costado nada».
24 King 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 that costs me nothing.”
25 David pagó a Ornán seiscientos siclos de oro por aquel lugar.
25 So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
26 Allí construyó un altar al Señor, ofreció holocaustos y ofrendas de paz y lo invocó. Dios le respondió desde el cielo enviando fuego sobre el altar del holocausto.
26 David 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.
27 Entonces el Señor ordenó al ángel que guardara la espada en su vaina.
27 Then Yahweh commanded the angel, and he put his sword back into its sheath.
28 Al ver que el Señor le había respondido en la era de Ornán el jebuseo, David presentó allí sus sacrificios.
28 At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29 En aquel tiempo, el tabernáculo del Señor que Moisés había levantado en el desierto y el altar del holocausto estaban en el lugar alto de Gabaón.
29 For 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.
30 Pero David no se atrevía a ir allí a consultar al Señor, por temor a la espada del ángel del Señor.
30 But David couldn’t go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid because of the sword of Yahweh’s angel.
