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.”

માટે ગાદે દાઉદ પાસે આવીને તેને કહ્યું, “તારા અપરાધને લીધે દેશમાં સાત વર્ષ સુધી દુકાળ આવે? અથવા તારા શત્રુઓ તારી પાછળ લાગે અને તું ત્રણ મહિના સુધી તેઓની આગળ નાસી જાય? અથવા તારા દેશમાં ત્રણ દિવસ સુધી મરકી ચાલે? હવે આ ત્રણ બાબતોમાંથી કોઈ એકની પસંદગી કરીને જણાવ. તે પ્રમાણેનો જવાબ હું મને મોકલનાર ઈશ્વરને આપીશ.”
हिन्दी2 शमूएल २४:१३
अतः गाद ने दाऊद के पास जाकर इसका समाचार दिया, और उससे पूछा, “क्या तेरे देश में सात वर्ष का अकाल पड़े? या तीन महीने तक तेरे शत्रु तेरा पीछा करते रहें और तू उनसे भागता रहे? या तेरे देश में तीन दिन तक मरी फैली रहे? अब सोच विचार कर, कि मैं अपने भेजनेवाले को क्या उत्तर दूँ।”

In context

11When David rose up in the morning, the LORD’s word came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,

12“Go and speak to David, ‘The LORD says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”

13So 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.”

14David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let us fall now into the LORD’s hand, for his mercies are great. Let me not fall into man’s hand.”

15So the LORD 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.
