1 La ira del Señor volvió a encenderse contra Israel. El Señor movió a David contra ellos y le dijo: Ve y cuenta a Israel y a Judá.
1 Again Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, “Go, count Israel and Judah.”
2 Entonces el rey dijo a Joab y a los jefes del ejército que estaban con él: Recorran todas las tribus de Israel, desde Dan hasta Beerseba, y cuenten al pueblo para que yo sepa cuántos son.
2 The king said to Joab the captain of the army, who was with him, “Now go back and forth through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the sum of the people.”
3 Joab respondió al rey: Que el Señor tu Dios multiplique al pueblo cien veces más, y que mi señor el rey lo vea. Pero ¿por qué desea mi señor el rey hacer esto?
3 Joab said to the king, “Now may Yahweh your God add to the people, however many they may be, one hundred times; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king delight in this thing?”
4 Sin embargo, la orden del rey prevaleció sobre Joab y los jefes del ejército. Así que salieron de la presencia del rey para contar al pueblo de Israel.
4 Notwithstanding, the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the captains of the army. Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel.
5 Cruzaron el Jordán y comenzaron en Aroer, junto a la ciudad situada en medio del valle. Desde allí fueron hacia el territorio de Gad y continuaron hasta Jazer.
5 They passed over the Jordan and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and to Jazer;
6 Después llegaron a Galaad y a la tierra de los hititas debajo del Hermón. Luego fueron a Dan y desde allí llegaron hasta Sidón.
6 then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; and they came to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon,
7 Después fueron a la ciudad fortificada de Tiro y a todas las ciudades de los heveos y cananeos. Finalmente llegaron al sur de Judá, a Beerseba.
7 and came to the stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites; and they went out to the south of Judah, at Beersheba.
8 Después de recorrer toda la tierra, regresaron a Jerusalén al cabo de nueve meses y veinte días.
8 So when they had gone back and forth through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
9 Joab informó al rey el número del pueblo. En Israel había ochocientos mil hombres de guerra capaces de usar armas, y en Judá había quinientos mil hombres.
9 Joab gave up the sum of the counting of the people to the king; and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
10 Después de contar al pueblo, David sintió remordimiento. Dijo al Señor: He pecado gravemente al hacer esto. Ahora, Señor, perdona la culpa de tu siervo, porque he actuado como un gran necio.
10 David’s heart struck him after he had counted the people. David said to Yahweh, “I have sinned greatly in that which I have done. But now, Yahweh, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.”
11 Cuando David se levantó por la mañana, la palabra del Señor había venido al profeta Gad, vidente de David:
11 When David rose up in the morning, Yahweh’s word came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,
12 Ve y di a David: El Señor dice: Te ofrezco tres cosas. Escoge una, y yo la haré.
12 “Go and speak to David, ‘Yahweh says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”
13 Gad fue a David y le dijo: ¿Prefieres tres años de hambre en tu tierra, tres meses huyendo de tus enemigos mientras ellos te persiguen, o tres días de enfermedad violenta en tu tierra? Piénsalo y dime qué respuesta debo llevar al que me envió.
13 So Gad came to David, and told him, saying, “Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ pestilence in your land? Now answer, and consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.”
14 David respondió a Gad: Estoy en una gran dificultad. Prefiero caer en manos del Señor, porque su misericordia es grande. No quiero caer en manos de los hombres.
14 David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let us fall now into Yahweh’s hand, for his mercies are great. Let me not fall into man’s hand.”
15 Entonces David escogió la enfermedad. Era el tiempo de la cosecha, y la enfermedad cayó sobre el pueblo. Murieron setenta mil hombres desde Dan hasta Beerseba.
15 So Yahweh sent a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the appointed time; and seventy thousand men died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba.
16 Cuando el ángel extendió su mano hacia Jerusalén para destruirla, el Señor sintió pesar por el desastre y dijo al ángel que destruía al pueblo: Basta. Detén tu mano. El ángel del Señor estaba junto a la era de Arauna el jebuseo.
16 When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, Yahweh relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” Yahweh’s angel was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
17 Cuando David vio al ángel que destruía al pueblo, dijo al Señor: Yo soy quien ha pecado y hecho lo malo. Estas ovejas, ¿qué han hecho? Que tu mano caiga sobre mí y sobre mi familia.
17 David spoke to Yahweh when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, “Behold, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me, and against my father’s house.”
18 Aquel día Gad fue a David y le dijo: Sube y construye un altar al Señor en la era de Arauna el jebuseo.
18 Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up, build an altar to Yahweh on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
19 David subió conforme a la palabra de Gad y a la orden del Señor.
19 David went up according to the saying of Gad, as Yahweh commanded.
20 Arauna miró y vio al rey y a sus servidores que venían hacia él. Salió y se inclinó rostro en tierra delante del rey.
20 Araunah looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him. Then Araunah went out and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
21 Arauna preguntó: ¿Por qué ha venido mi señor el rey a ver a su siervo? David respondió: Para comprarte la era y construir allí un altar al Señor, para que se detenga la enfermedad que está destruyendo al pueblo.
21 Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” David said, “To buy your threshing floor, to build an altar to Yahweh, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”
22 Arauna dijo a David: Que mi señor el rey tome lo que le parezca bien y lo ofrezca. Aquí están los bueyes para el holocausto, y los trillos y los yugos de los bueyes pueden servir de leña.
22 Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Behold, the cattle for the burnt offering, and the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood.
23 Todo esto, rey, te lo doy. Que el Señor tu Dios acepte tu ofrenda.
23 All this, O king, does Araunah give to the king.” Araunah said to the king, “May Yahweh your God accept you.”
24 Pero el rey respondió a Arauna: No. Te pagaré su precio. No ofreceré al Señor mi Dios holocaustos que no me hayan costado nada. Así David compró la era y los bueyes por cincuenta siclos de plata.
24 The king said to Araunah, “No, but I will most certainly buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to Yahweh my God which cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
25 David construyó allí un altar al Señor y presentó holocaustos y ofrendas de paz. Entonces el Señor escuchó las oraciones por la tierra y la enfermedad se detuvo en Israel.
25 David built an altar to Yahweh there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So Yahweh was entreated for the land, and the plague was removed from Israel.
