历代志上 16
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
16 众人将上帝的约柜抬进去，安放在大卫所搭的帐篷里，然后在上帝面前献上燔祭和平安祭。 2 大卫献上燔祭和平安祭后，就奉耶和华的名给民众祝福， 3 又给以色列男女每人一个饼、一块肉和一个葡萄饼。
4 大卫指派一些利未人在耶和华的约柜前事奉，颂扬、称谢和赞美以色列的上帝耶和华。 5 为首的是亚萨，其次是撒迦利雅、雅薛、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，亚萨敲钹。 6 比拿雅和雅哈悉两位祭司在上帝的约柜前吹号。
大卫的颂歌
7 那一天，大卫初次指派亚萨和他的亲族唱诗歌颂耶和华，说：
8 “你们要称谢耶和华，
呼求祂的名，
在列邦传扬祂的作为。
9 要歌颂、赞美祂，
述说祂一切奇妙的作为。
10 要以祂的圣名为荣，
愿寻求耶和华的人都欢欣。
11 要寻求耶和华和祂的能力，
时常来到祂面前。
12-13 祂仆人以色列的后裔啊，
祂所拣选的雅各的子孙啊，
要记住祂所行的神迹奇事和祂口中的判词。
14 “祂是我们的上帝耶和华，
祂在普天下施行审判。
15 你们要永远铭记祂的约，
要思想祂的应许直到千代，
16 就是祂与亚伯拉罕所立的约，
向以撒所起的誓。
17 祂将这约定为律例赐给雅各，
定为永远的约赐给以色列。
18 祂说，‘我必把迦南赐给你，
作为你的产业。’
19 “那时他们人丁稀少，
在当地寄居，
20 他们在异国他乡流离飘零。
21 耶和华不容人压迫他们，
还为他们的缘故责备君王，
22 说，‘不可难为我膏立的人，
也不可伤害我的先知。’
23 “普天下都要歌颂耶和华，
要天天传扬祂的救恩；
24 要在列国述说祂的荣耀，
在万民中述说祂的奇妙作为。
25 因为耶和华无比伟大，
当受至高的颂扬；
祂超越一切神明，
当受敬畏。
26 列邦的神明都是假的，
唯独耶和华创造了诸天。
27 祂尊贵威严，
祂的圣所充满能力和喜乐。
28 “万族万民啊，
要把荣耀和能力归给耶和华，
归给耶和华！
29 要将耶和华当得的荣耀归给祂，
要将供物献给祂，
要穿上圣洁的衣服敬拜祂。
30 普天下要在祂面前战抖；
祂坚立世界，使它不致摇动。
31 愿天欢喜，愿地快乐；
愿他们向列国宣告，
‘耶和华是王！’
32 愿海洋和其中的万物都欢呼，
愿田野和其中的一切都欢腾！
33 那时，林中的树木都要在耶和华面前欢唱，
因为祂要来审判天下。
34 要称谢耶和华，
因为祂是美善的，
祂的慈爱永远长存！
35 “要说，‘拯救我们的上帝啊，
求你救我们，招聚我们，
从列国把我们救出来，
我们好称谢你的圣名，
以赞美你为荣。’
36 从亘古到永远，
以色列的上帝耶和华当受称颂！”
众民都说：“阿们”，
并赞美耶和华。
分派事奉的人员
37 大卫派亚萨及其亲族天天在约柜前事奉耶和华，尽当尽的职分； 38 又派俄别·以东及其六十八位亲族、何萨和耶杜顿的儿子俄别·以东守门； 39 并派祭司撒督及其他祭司在基遍高地的耶和华的圣幕前供职， 40 按照耶和华在律法书上对以色列人的吩咐，每日早晚在祭坛上献燔祭给耶和华。 41 与他们一同供职的有希幔、耶杜顿和其他人，他们被特别选出来称谢上帝，因为祂有永恒的慈爱。 42 希幔和耶杜顿负责用号、钹及其他乐器伴奏歌颂上帝。耶杜顿的子孙负责守门。 43 于是，众民各自回家，大卫也回去为家人祝福。
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.

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.

16 وَأدخَلُوا صُنْدُوقَ اللهِ، وَوَضَعُوهُ دَاخِلَ الخَيْمَةِ الَّتِي نَصَبَهَا دَاوُدُ لَهُ. وَذَبَحُوا ذَبَائِحَ صَاعِدَةً وَتَقْدِمَاتِ سَلَامٍ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ.
2 وَلَمَّا أكمَلَ دَاوُدُ تَقْدِيمَ الذَّبَائِحِ الصَّاعِدَةِ وَذَبَائِحِ السَّلَامِ، بَارَكَ الشَّعْبَ بِاسْمِ اللهِ. 3 وَوَزَّعَ عَلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ وَامْرَأةٍ مِنْ بَنِي إسْرَائِيلَ رَغِيفَ خُبْزٍ وَكَعْكَ تَمْرٍ وَكَعْكَ زَبِيبٍ. 4 وَعَيَّنَ بَعْضَ اللَّاوِيِّينَ لِيَخْدِمُوا كَخُدَّامٍ أمَامَ صُنْدُوقِ عَهْدِ اللهِ لِكَي يُذِيعَوُا، وَيَشْكُرُوا، وَيُسَبِّحُوا اللهَ، إلَهَ إسْرَائِيلَ.
5 وَكَانَ آسَافُ يَقُودُ فِرْقَةَ التَّسْبِيحِ، وَزَكَرِيَّا يُسَاعِدُهُ. بَيْنَمَا يُعْزِفُ يَعْزِيئِيلُ وَشَمِيرَامُوثُ وَيَحِيئِيلُ وَمَتَّثْيَا وَألِيآبُ وَبَنَايَا وَعُوبِيدُ أدُومُ وَيَعِيئِيلُ بِرَبَابٍ وَقَيَاثِيرَ. وَيَضْرِبُ آسَافَ الصُّنُوجَ. 6 وَيَنْفُخُ بَنَايَا وَيَحَزْيئِيلُ الأبْوَاقَ بِانْتِظَامٍ أمَامَ صُنْدُوقِ عَهْدِ اللهِ.
مَزْمُورُ شُكْرٍ لِدَاوُد
7 وَفِي ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ نَظَمَ دَاوُدُ مَزْمُورَ شُكْرٍ للهِ عَزَفَهُ آسَافُ وَأقْرِبَاؤُهُ:
8 احْمَدُوا اللهَ، أذِيعُوا اسْمَهُ.
خَبِّرُوا الشُّعُوبَ بِمَا صَنَعَ.
9 غَنُّوا لَهُ.
رَنِّمُوا لَهُ.
وَفِي رَوَائِعِهِ تَأمَّلُوا.
10 تَبَاهَوْا بِاسْمِهِ القُدُّوسِ.
وَلْيَفْرَحِ الَّذِينَ يَطْلُبُونَ اللهَ.
11 اطْلُبُوا اللهَ وَقُوَّتَهُ،
اطْلُبُوا حُضُورَهُ دَائِمًا.
12 تَذَكَّرُوا الأُمُورَ العَظِيمَةَ الَّتِي أجْرَاهَا،
عَجَائِبَهُ وَأحْكَامَهُ الَّتِي نَطَقَ بِهَا.
13 يَا أبْنَاءَ خَادِمِهِ إسْرَائِيلَ،
يَا مُخْتَارِيهِ أبْنَاءَ يَعْقُوبَ.
14 يهوه هُوَ إلَهُنَا،
أحكَامُهُ فِي كُلِّ الأرْضِ.
15 إلَى الأبَدِ اذْكُرُوا عَهْدَهُ،
الكَلَامَ الَّذِي أوصَى بِهِ لِألْفِ جِيلٍ،
16 العَهْدَ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَ إبْرَاهِيمَ،
وَوَعَدَ بِهِ إسْحَاقَ.
17 ثَبَّتَهُ مَعَ يَعْقُوبَ شَرِيعَةً،
وَمَعَ إسْرَائِيلَ عَهْدًا أبَدِيًّا.
18 فَقَالَ: «سَأُعْطِيكَ أرْضَ كَنْعَانَ،
فَتَكُونَ مِنْ نَصِيبِكَ.»
19 كَانُوا قَلِيلِينَ وَغُرَبَاءَ فِي الأرْضِ،
20 يَرْتَحِلُونَ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ إلَى أُمَّةٍ،
وَمِنْ مَملَكَةٍ إلَى مَملَكَةٍ.
21 فَلَمْ يَسْمَحْ لِأحَدٍ بِأنْ يَظْلِمَهُمْ،
بَلْ حَذَّرَ المُلُوكَ مِنْ أجْلِهِمْ.
22 قَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَا تَمَسُّوا مَنْ مَسَحْتُهُمْ،
وَلَا تُؤْذُوا أنبِيَائِي!»
23 غَنُّوا للهِ يَا كُلَّ أهْلِ الأرْضِ،
حَدِّثُوا بِخَلَاصِهِ يَومًا بَعْدَ يَوْمٍ.
24 أخبِرُوا بِمَجْدِهِ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ.
أخبِرُوا كُلَّ النَّاسِ بِعَجَائِبِهِ.
25 لِأنَّ اللهَ عَظِيمٌ وَمُسْتَحِقٌّ لِلتَّسبِيحِ!
هُوَ الأكثَرُ مَهَابَةً بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الآلِهَةِ.
26 لِأنَّ كُلَّ آلِهَةِ الأُمَمِ تَمَاثِيلُ تَافِهَةٌ.
أمَّا اللهُ فَهُوَ الَّذِي صَنَعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ!
27 يُشِعُّ مَجدًا وَكَرَامَةً.
وَفِي بَيْتِهِ القُوَّةُ وَالِابْتِهَاجُ.
28 يَا شُعُوبَ الأرْضِ،
سَبِّحُوا اللهَ عَلَى مَجْدِهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ.
29 مَجِّدُوا اللهَ لِأجْلِ اسْمِهِ.
هَاتُوا تَقْدِمَةً وَادْخُلُوا مَحْضَرَهُ.
اعْبُدُوا اللهَ فِي بَهَاءِ قَدَاسَتِهِ.
30 ارتَعِدُوا فِي حَضْرَتِهِ يَا جَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ الأرْضِ.
العَالَمُ ثَابِتٌ فِي مَكَانِهِ،
لَا تَقْدِرُ قُوَّةٌ أنْ تُزَحْزِحَهُ.
31 لِتَبْتَهِجِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَلْتَفْرَحِ الأرْضُ،
وَلْيُقَلْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ:
«اللهُ يَمْلُكُ.»
32 لِيَهْدِرِ البَحْرُ وَكُلُّ مَا يَملأُهُ،
لِيَبْتَهِجِ الحَقْلُ وَكُلُّ مَا فِيهِ.
33 حِينَئِذٍ، سَتُغَنِّي أشْجَارُ الغَابَةِ
بِفَرَحٍ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ.
لِأنَّهُ يأتِي لِيَدِينَ الأرْضَ.
34 سبِّحُوا اللهَ، لِأنَّهُ صَالِحٌ،
لِأنَّ رَحْمَتَهُ إلَى الأبَدِ.
35 قُولُوا: «يَا إلَهَنَا المُخَلِّصَ أنْقِذْنَا،
رُدَّنَا وَأنْقِذْنَا مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ،
لِكَي نُقَدِّمَ الشُّكرَ لِاسْمِكَ القُدُّوسِ،
وَبِتَرَانِيمِ التَّسبِيحِ نُكرِمُكَ.»
36 مُبَارَكٌ اللهُ إلَهُ إسْرَائِيلَ،
مِنَ الأزَلِ إلَى الأبَدِ مُسْتَحِقٌ التَّسْبِيحَ.
وَقَالَ الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُ: «آمِينَ!» وَسَبَّحُوا اللهَ.
37 وَتَرَكَ دَاوُدُ آسَافَ وَمُسَاعِدِيهِ هُنَاكَ أمَامَ صُنْدُوقِ عَهْدِ اللهِ لِيَخْدِمُوا أمَامَ الصُّنْدُوقِ دَائِمًا حَسَبَ المُتَطَلَّبَاتِ اليَوْمِيَّةِ. 38 وَبَقِيَ هُنَاكَ أيْضًا عُوبِيدُ آدُومُ وَأقْرِبَاؤُهُ الثَّمَانِيَةُ وَالسِّتُّونَ، وَعُوبِيدُ أدُومُ بْنُ يَدِيثُونَ وَحُوسَةَ، لِيَخْدِمُوا كَبَوَّابِينَ.
39 وَبَقِيَ أمَامَ خَيْمَةِ اجتِمَاعِ اللهِ فِي المُرْتَفَعِ فِي جِبْعُونَ الكَاهِنُ صَادُوقُ وَزُمَلَاؤُهُ الكَهَنَةُ. 40 وَكَانَ مَطلُوبًا مِنْهُمْ أنْ يُقَدِّمُوا تَقْدِمَاتٍ صَاعِدَةً كَامِلَةً للهِ صَبَاحًا وَمَسَاءً عَلَى مَذْبَحِ التَّقْدِمَاتِ الصَّاعِدَةِ، وَفْقَ كُلِّ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي شَرِيعَةِ اللهِ الَّتِي أمَرَ إسْرَائِيلَ بِاتِّبَاعِهَا. 41 وَبَقِيَ مَعَهُمْ هَيمَانُ، وَيَدُوثُونُ، وَبَقِيَّةُ المُختَارِينَ وَالمُعَيَّنِينَ بِالِاسْمِ لِتَقْدِيمِ التَّسبِيحِ للهِ: «لِأنَّ رَحْمَتَهُ إلَى الأبَدِ.»[a] 42 وَكَانَ مَعْهُمَا، أيْ مَعَ هَيمَانَ وَيَدُوثُونَ، أبْوَاقٌ وَصُنُوجٌ لِلَّذِينَ يَعْزِفُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَآلَاتٌ لِعَزْفِ تَرَانِيمَ للهِ. وَكَانَ أبْنَاءُ يَدُوثُونَ مَسْؤُولِينَ عَنِ البَوَّابَةِ.
43 ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ الشَّعْبُ كُلُّهُمْ إلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ. وَرَجِعَ دَاوُدُ لِيُبَارِكَ بَيْتَهُ.
