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
English Standard Version
The Ark Placed in a Tent
16 And they brought in the ark of God and set it inside (A)the tent that David had pitched for it, and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God. 2 And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord 3 and distributed to all Israel, both men and women, to each a loaf of bread, a portion of meat,[a] and a cake of raisins.
4 Then he appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the Lord, to invoke, to thank, and to praise the Lord, the God of Israel. 5 (B)Asaph was the chief, and second to him were Zechariah, Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel, who were to play harps and lyres; Asaph was to sound the cymbals, 6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God. 7 Then on that day (C)David first appointed that thanksgiving be sung to the Lord by Asaph and his brothers.
David's Song of Thanks
8 (D)Oh give thanks to the Lord; (E)call upon his name;
(F)make known his deeds among the peoples!
9 Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works!
10 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
11 (G)Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually!
12 (H)Remember the wondrous works that he has done,
(I)his miracles and the judgments he uttered,
13 O offspring of Israel his servant,
children of Jacob, his chosen ones!
14 He is the Lord our God;
(J)his judgments are in all the earth.
15 Remember his covenant forever,
the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
16 the covenant (K)that he made with Abraham,
his sworn promise to Isaac,
17 which (L)he confirmed to Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
18 saying, (M)“To you I will give the land of Canaan,
as your portion for an inheritance.”
19 When you were (N)few in number,
of little account, and (O)sojourners in it,
20 wandering from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people,
21 he allowed no one to oppress them;
he (P)rebuked kings on their account,
22 saying, “Touch not my anointed ones,
do my (Q)prophets no harm!”
23 (R)Sing to the Lord, all the earth!
Tell of his salvation from day to day.
24 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
25 For (S)great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
and he is to be feared (T)above all gods.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
(U)but the Lord made the heavens.
27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his place.
28 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
(V)ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him!
(W)Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;[b]
30 tremble before him, all the earth;
yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
31 (X)Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice,
and let them say among the nations, (Y)“The Lord reigns!”
32 (Z)Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
let the field exult, and everything in it!
33 Then shall the trees of the forest sing for joy
before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth.
34 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!
35 (AA)Say also:
“Save us, O God of our salvation,
and gather and deliver us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.
36 (AB)Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!”
(AC)Then all the people said, “Amen!” and praised the Lord.
Worship Before the Ark
37 So David left Asaph and his brothers there (AD)before the ark of the covenant of the Lord to minister regularly before the ark (AE)as each day required, 38 and also (AF)Obed-edom and his[c] sixty-eight brothers, while (AG)Obed-edom, the son of Jeduthun, and (AH)Hosah were to be gatekeepers. 39 And he left (AI)Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests before the tabernacle of the Lord (AJ)in the high place that was at Gibeon 40 to offer burnt offerings to the Lord (AK)on the altar of burnt offering (AL)regularly morning and evening, to do all that is written in the Law of the Lord that he commanded Israel. 41 With them were (AM)Heman and Jeduthun (AN)and the rest of those chosen and (AO)expressly named to give thanks to the Lord, (AP)for his steadfast love endures forever. 42 Heman and Jeduthun had trumpets and cymbals for the music and instruments (AQ)for sacred song. The sons of Jeduthun were appointed to the gate.
43 (AR)Then all the people departed each to his house, and David went home to bless his household.
