1 Crónicas 21

Textbibel von Kautzsch und Weizsäcker

17und David betete zu Gott: Ich habe ja den Befehl gegeben, das Volk zu zählen; ich bin es also, der gesündigt und sehr übel gethan hat; diese aber, die Schafe, was haben sie gethan? Jahwe, mein Gott, laß doch deine Hand sich gegen mich und meine Familie wenden, nicht aber gegen dein Volk, daß es einer Seuche erliege!

Reina-Valera 1909

17Y alzando David sus ojos, vió al ángel de Jehová, que estaba entre el cielo y la tierra, teniendo un espada desnuda en su mano, extendida contra Jerusalem. Entonces David y los ancianos se postraron sobre sus rostros, cubiertos de sacos.

King James Version

17And 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.

World English Bible

17David 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 LORD my God, be against me and against my father’s house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued.”
