| 2 | Et David dit à Joab et aux chefs du peuple : Allez, faites le dénombrement d'Israël, depuis Beer Schéba jusqu'à Dan, et rapportez-le-moi, afin que je sache à combien il s'élève. | And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it. | And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them. |
| 3 | Joab répondit : Que l'Éternel rende son peuple cent fois plus nombreux ! O roi mon seigneur, ne sont-ils pas tous serviteurs de mon seigneur ? Mais pourquoi mon seigneur demande-t-il cela ? Pourquoi faire ainsi pécher Israël ? | And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel? | And Joab said, Jehovah make his people a hundred times as many as they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord`s servants? why doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt unto Israel? |
| 4 | Le roi persista dans l'ordre qu'il donnait à Joab. Et Joab partit, et parcourut tout Israël ; puis il revint à Jérusalem. | Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. | Nevertheless the king`s word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. |
| 5 | Joab remit à David le rôle du dénombrement du peuple : il y avait dans tout Israël onze cent mille hommes tirant l'épée, et en Juda quatre cent soixante-dix mille hommes tirant l'épée. | And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword. | And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword. |
| 6 | Il ne fit point parmi eux le dénombrement de Lévi et de Benjamin, car l'ordre du roi lui paraissait une abomination. | But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab. | But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them; for the king`s word was abominable to Joab. |
| 7 | Cet ordre déplut à Dieu, qui frappa Israël. | And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel. | And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel. |
| 8 | Et David dit à Dieu : J'ai commis un grand péché en faisant cela ! Maintenant, daigne pardonner l'iniquité de ton serviteur, car j'ai complètement agi en insensé ! | And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. | And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing: but now, put away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. |
| 9 | L'Éternel adressa ainsi la parole à Gad, le voyant de David : | And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying, | And Jehovah spake unto Gad, David`s seer, saying, |
| 10 | Va dire à David : Ainsi parle l'Éternel : Je te propose trois fléaux ; choisis-en un, et je t'en frapperai. | Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee. | Go and speak unto David, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee. |
| 11 | Gad alla vers David, et lui dit : Ainsi parle l'Éternel : | So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee | So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Take which thou wilt: |
| 12 | Accepte, ou trois années de famine, ou trois mois pendant lesquels tu seras détruit par tes adversaires et atteint par l'épée de tes ennemis, ou trois jours pendant lesquels l'épée de l'Éternel et la peste seront dans le pays et l'ange de l'Éternel portera la destruction dans tout le territoire d'Israël. Vois maintenant ce que je dois répondre à celui qui m'envoie. | Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me. | either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before thy foes, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of Jehovah, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of Jehovah destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him that sent me. |
| 13 | David répondit à Gad : Je suis dans une grande angoisse ! Oh ! que je tombe entre les mains de l'Éternel, car ses compassions sont immenses ; mais que je ne tombe pas entre les mains des hommes ! | And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man. | And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall, I pray, into the hand of Jehovah; for very great are his mercies: and let me not fall into the hand of man. |
| 14 | L'Éternel envoya la peste en Israël, et il tomba soixante-dix mille hommes d'Israël. | So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men. | So Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men. |
| 15 | Dieu envoya un ange à Jérusalem pour la détruire ; et comme il la détruisait, l'Éternel regarda et se repentit de ce mal, et il dit à l'ange qui détruisait : Assez ! Retire maintenant ta main. L'ange de l'Éternel se tenait près de l'aire d'Ornan, le Jébusien. | And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. | And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was about to destroy, Jehovah beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the destroying angel, It is enough; now stay thy hand.

| 16 | David leva les yeux, et vit l'ange de l'Éternel se tenant entre la terre et le ciel et ayant à la main son épée nue tournée contre Jérusalem. Alors David et les anciens, couverts de sacs, tombèrent sur leur visage. | And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces. | And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Jehovah standing between earth and heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces. |
| 17 | Et David dit à Dieu : N'est-ce pas moi qui ai ordonné le dénombrement du peuple ? C'est moi qui ai péché et qui ai fait le mal ; mais ces brebis, qu'ont-elles fait ? Éternel, mon Dieu, que ta main soit donc sur moi et sur la maison de mon père, et qu'elle ne fasse point une plaie parmi ton peuple ! | And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued. | And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, O Jehovah my God, be against me, and against my father`s house; but not against thy people, that they should be plagued. |
| 18 | L'ange de l'Éternel dit à Gad de parler à David, afin qu'il montât pour élever un autel à l'Éternel dans l'aire d'Ornan, le Jébusien. | Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. | Then the angel of Jehovah commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and rear an altar unto Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. |

| 20 | Ornan se retourna et vit l'ange, et ses quatre fils se cachèrent avec lui : il foulait alors du froment. | And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. | And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons that were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. |
| 21 | Lorsque David arriva auprès d'Ornan, Ornan regarda, et il aperçut David ; puis il sortit de l'aire, et se prosterna devant David, le visage contre terre. | And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground. | And 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 dit à Ornan : Cède-moi l'emplacement de l'aire pour que j'y bâtisse un autel à l'Éternel ; cède-le-moi contre sa valeur en argent, afin que la plaie se retire de dessus le peuple. | Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people. | Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar unto Jehovah: for the full price shalt thou give it me, that the plague may be stayed from the people. |
| 23 | Ornan répondit à David : Prends-le, et que mon seigneur le roi fasse ce qui lui semblera bon ; vois, je donne les boeufs pour l'holocauste, les chars pour le bois, et le froment pour l'offrande, je donne tout cela. | And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all. | And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give [thee] the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal-offering; I give it all. |
| 24 | Mais le roi David dit à Ornan : Non ! je veux l'acheter contre sa valeur en argent, car je ne présenterai point à l'Éternel ce qui est à toi, et je n'offrirai point un holocauste qui ne me coûte rien. | And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost. | And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for Jehovah, nor offer a burnt-offering without cost. |
| 25 | Et David donna à Ornan six cents sicles d'or pour l'emplacement. | So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight. | So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight. |
| 26 | David bâtit là un autel à l'Éternel, et il offrit des holocaustes et des sacrifices d'actions de grâces. Il invoqua l'Éternel, et l'Éternel lui répondit par le feu, qui descendit du ciel sur l'autel de l'holocauste. | And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering. | And David built there an altar unto Jehovah, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon Jehovah; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering. |
| 27 | Alors l'Éternel parla à l'ange, qui remit son épée dans le fourreau. | And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof. | And Jehovah commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof. |
| 28 | A cette époque-là, David, voyant que l'Éternel l'avait exaucé dans l'aire d'Ornan, le Jébusien, y offrait des sacrifices. | At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. | At that time, when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. |
| 29 | Mais le tabernacle de l'Éternel, construit par Moïse au désert, et l'autel des holocaustes, étaient alors sur le haut lieu de Gabaon. | For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon. | For the tabernacle of Jehovah, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon. |
| 30 | David ne pouvait pas aller devant cet autel pour chercher Dieu, parce que l'épée de l'ange de l'Éternel lui avait causé de l'épouvante. | But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD. | But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Jehovah. |
