Chinese New Version (Simplified)
献祭与祝福
16 他们把 神的约柜抬了进去，安放在大卫为它所搭的会幕中间，然后在 神面前献上了燔祭和平安祭。 2 大卫献上了燔祭和平安祭以后，就奉耶和华的名给人民祝福。 3 他又分给以色列众人，无论男女，每人一个饼、一块肉、一个葡萄饼。
利未人在约柜前的职务
4 大卫派了一部分利未人，在耶和华的约柜前事奉、颂扬、称谢和赞美耶和华以色列的 神。 5 领导的人是亚萨，其次是撒迦利雅、耶利、示米拉末、耶歇、玛他提雅、以利押、比拿雅、俄别．以东和耶利，他们鼓瑟弹琴，亚萨敲打响钹。 6 比拿雅和雅哈悉两位祭司在 神的约柜前不住地吹号。
大卫颂赞耶和华之歌(A)
7 那一天，大卫初次指定亚萨和他的亲族，以诗歌称谢耶和华，说：
8 “你们要称谢耶和华，呼求他的名，
在万民中宣扬他的作为。
9 要向他歌唱，向他颂扬，
述说他一切奇妙的作为。
10 要以他的圣名为荣，
愿寻求耶和华的人，心中喜乐。
11 要寻求耶和华和他的能力，
常常寻求他的面。
12-13 他的仆人以色列的后裔啊，
他所拣选的雅各的子孙啊，
你们要记念他奇妙的作为、他的奇事和他口中的判语。
14 他是耶和华我们的 神，
他的判语达到全地。
15 你们要记念他的约，直到永远；
不可忘记他吩咐的话，直到千代。
16 就是他与亚伯拉罕所立的约，
他向以撒所起的誓。
17 他把这约向雅各定为律例，
向以色列定为永约，
18 说：‘我必把迦南地赐给你，
作你们的产业的分。
19 那时你们人丁单薄，数目很少，
又是在那地作寄居的。’
20 他们从这国走到那国，
从一族走到另一族。
21 耶和华不容许任何人欺压他们，
曾为了他们的缘故责备君王，
22 说：‘不可伤害我所膏的人，
不可恶待我的先知。’
23 全地都要向耶和华歌唱，
天天传扬他的救恩。
24 在列国中述说他的荣耀，
在万民中述说他奇妙的作为。
25 因为耶和华是伟大的，当受极大的赞美；
他当受敬畏，远在万神之上。
26 万民的偶像算不得甚么，
唯独耶和华创造诸天。
27 尊荣和威严在他面前，
能力和欢乐在他的圣所。
28 万族万民啊，你们要归给耶和华，
要把荣耀和能力归给耶和华。
29 要把耶和华的名应得的荣耀归给他，
拿着礼物到他面前来，
要以圣洁的装饰敬拜耶和华。
30 全地要在他面前战栗；
他使世界坚定，不致摇动。
31 愿天欢喜，愿地欢呼，
愿人在万国中说：‘耶和华作王了！’
32 愿海和充满海中的都澎湃，
愿田和田中的一切都欢欣。
33 那时树林中的树木，
必在耶和华面前欢呼，
因为他来要审判全地。
34 你们要称谢耶和华，因他是良善的，
他的慈爱永远常存。
35 你们要说：‘拯救我们的 神啊，求你拯救我们，
招聚我们，从万国中救我们出来，
好使我们称谢你的圣名，
以赞美你为夸耀。’
36 耶和华以色列的 神是应当称颂的，
从永远直到永远。”
全体人民都说阿们，并且赞美耶和华。
指派不同的事奉人员
37 于是在那里，就是耶和华的约柜前，大卫留下亚萨和他的亲族，照着每日的本分，在约柜前不断地事奉。 38 又留下俄别．以东和他们的亲族六十八人，以及耶杜顿的儿子俄别．以东和何萨作守门的。 39 又留下撒督祭司和他的亲族，都是作祭司的。在基遍的高地耶和华的帐幕前， 40 每日早晚不住地在燔祭坛上，把燔祭献给耶和华，全是照着耶和华吩咐以色列人的律法书上所写的。 41 和他们一起的有希幔、耶杜顿和其余被选出，有记名的人，都称谢耶和华，因为他的慈爱永远常存。 42 希幔、耶杜顿和他们一起吹号敲钹，以及演奏各种乐器，大声歌颂 神。耶杜顿的子孙负责守门。 43 于是众民都回去，各人回自己的家；大卫也回去给自己的家人祝福。
1 Chronicles 16
New King James Version
The Ark Placed in the Tabernacle(A)
16 So (B)they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God. 2 And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, (C)he blessed the people in the name of the Lord. 3 Then he distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins.
4 And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, to (D)commemorate, to thank, and to praise the Lord God of Israel: 5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, then (E)Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, and Obed-Edom: Jeiel with stringed instruments and harps, but Asaph made music with cymbals; 6 Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests regularly blew the trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God.
David’s Song of Thanksgiving(F)
7 On that day (G)David (H)first delivered this psalm into the hand of Asaph and his brethren, to thank the Lord:
8 (I)Oh, give thanks to the Lord!
Call upon His name;
Make known His deeds among the peoples!
9 Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;
Talk of all His wondrous works!
10 Glory in His holy name;
Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!
11 Seek the Lord and His strength;
Seek His face evermore!
12 Remember His marvelous works which He has done,
His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,
13 O seed of Israel His servant,
You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!
14 He is the Lord our God;
His (J)judgments are in all the earth.
15 Remember His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,
16 The (K)covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac,
17 And (L)confirmed it to (M)Jacob for a statute,
To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the allotment of your inheritance,”
19 When you were (N)few in number,
Indeed very few, and strangers in it.
20 When they went from one nation to another,
And from one kingdom to another people,
21 He permitted no man to do them wrong;
Yes, He (O)rebuked kings for their sakes,
22 Saying, (P)“Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.”
23 (Q)Sing to the Lord, all the earth;
Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.
24 Declare His glory among the nations,
His wonders among all peoples.
25 For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised;
He is also to be feared above all gods.
26 For all the gods (R)of the peoples are [a]idols,
But the Lord made the heavens.
27 Honor and majesty are before Him;
Strength and gladness are in His place.
28 Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
Give to the Lord glory and strength.
29 Give to the Lord the glory due His name;
Bring an offering, and come before Him.
Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!
30 Tremble before Him, all the earth.
The world also is firmly established,
It shall not be moved.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
And let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.”
32 Let the sea roar, and all its fullness;
Let the field rejoice, and all that is in it.
33 Then the (S)trees of the woods shall rejoice before the Lord,
For He is (T)coming to judge the earth.
34 (U)Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
35 (V)And say, “Save us, O God of our salvation;
Gather us together, and deliver us from the Gentiles,
To give thanks to Your holy name,
To triumph in Your praise.”
36 (W)Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
From everlasting to everlasting!
And all (X)the people said, “Amen!” and praised the Lord.
Regular Worship Maintained
37 So he left (Y)Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord to minister before the ark regularly, as every day’s work (Z)required; 38 and (AA)Obed-Edom with his sixty-eight brethren, including Obed-Edom the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, to be gatekeepers; 39 and Zadok the priest and his brethren the priests, (AB)before the tabernacle of the Lord (AC)at the [b]high place that was at Gibeon, 40 to offer burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of burnt offering regularly (AD)morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the Law of the Lord which He commanded Israel; 41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the Lord, (AE)because His mercy endures forever; 42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals and the musical instruments of God. Now the sons of Jeduthun were gatekeepers.
43 (AF)Then all the people departed, every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
