David said to God, “Is it not I who commanded the people to be counted? I am the one who has sinned and done evil; but as for these sheep [the people of Israel], what have they done? O Lord my God, please let Your hand be against me and my father’s house, but not against Your people that they should be plagued.” David’s Altar
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.
David prayed, “Please! I’m the one who sinned; I’m the one at fault. But these sheep, what did they do wrong? Punish me, not them, me and my family; don’t take it out on them.” 18-19 The angel of God ordered Gad to tell David to go and build an altar to God on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. David did what Gad told him in obedience to God’s command. 20-21 Meanwhile Araunah had quit threshing the wheat and was watching the angel; his four sons took cover and hid. David came up to Araunah. When Araunah saw David, he left the threshing floor and bowed deeply before David, honoring the king.
David said to God, “Is it not I who [h]commanded to count the people? Indeed, I am the one who has sinned and done very wickedly, but these sheep, what have they done? O Lord my God, please let Your hand be against me and my father’s household, but not against Your people that they should be plagued.” David’s Altar
David said to God, “I ordered the fighting men to be counted. I’m the one who has sinned. I am the shepherd of these people. I’m the one who has done what is wrong. These people are like sheep. What have they done? Lord my God, punish me and my family. But don’t let this plague continue to strike your people.” David Builds an Altar
David said to God, “Was it not I who ordered the fighting men to be counted? I, the shepherd,[c] have sinned and done wrong. These are but sheep. What have they done? Lord my God, let your hand fall on me and my family, but do not let this plague remain on your people.” David Builds an Altar

And David said to God, “I am the one who called for the census! I am the one who has sinned and done wrong! But these people are as innocent as sheep—what have they done? O Lord my God, let your anger fall against me and my family, but do not destroy your people.” David Builds an Altar

David pria Dieu en disant : C’est moi qui ai ordonné le recensement du peuple. C’est moi seul qui ai péché, c’est moi qui ai commis une faute très grave. Mais ce pauvre troupeau, qu’a-t-il fait de mal ? Eternel, mon Dieu, frappe-moi donc plutôt, ainsi que ma famille, mais que ce fléau ne s’abatte pas sur ton peuple !

Nagsiling si David sa Dios, “Ako ang nagsugo nga isensos ang mga tawo. Ako ang nakasala. Ini nga mga tawo mga inosente pareho sa mga karnero. Wala sila sang may nahimo nga sala. O Ginoo nga akon Dios, ako na lang kag ang akon pamilya ang siluti. Indi pagpaantusa ang imo katawhan sa sini nga kalalat-an.”
