17Und David sprach zu Gott: Bin ich es nicht, der gesagt hat, das Volk zu zählen? Und ich bin es, der gesündigt und sehr übel gehandelt hat; aber diese Schafe, was haben sie getan? Jehova, mein Gott, es sei doch deine Hand wider mich und wider das Haus meines Vaters, aber nicht wider dein Volk zur Plage!
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.”
