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
Legacy Standard Bible
A Tent for the Ark
16 And they brought in the ark of God and (A)placed it inside the tent which David had pitched for it, and they brought burnt offerings and peace offerings near before God. 2 Then David completed offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings. And he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh. 3 And he apportioned to everyone of Israel, both men and women, to everyone a loaf of bread and a portion of meat and a raisin cake.
4 And he made some of the Levites ministers before the ark of Yahweh, even to bring remembrance and to thank and praise Yahweh, the God of Israel: 5 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then [a]Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel, with musical instruments, harps, lyres; also Asaph played loud-sounding cymbals, 6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests blew trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 Then on that day David (B)first assigned [b]Asaph and his [c]relatives to give thanks to Yahweh.
Song of Thanksgiving
8 (C)Oh give thanks to Yahweh, call upon His name;
(D)Make known His acts among the peoples.
9 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
Muse on all His wondrous deeds.
10 Boast in His holy name;
Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh be glad.
11 (E)Inquire of Yahweh and His strength;
Seek His face continually.
12 (F)Remember His wondrous deeds which He has done,
(G)His miraculous signs and the judgments uttered by His mouth,
13 O seed of Israel His servant,
O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
14 He is Yahweh our God;
(H)His judgments are in all the earth.
15 Remember His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded for a thousand generations,
16 (I)Which He cut with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac.
17 (J)Then He also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
18 Saying, “(K)To you I will give the land of Canaan,
As the portion of your inheritance,”
19 (L)When you were only a few men in number,
Of little account, and sojourners in it,
20 And they wandered about from nation to nation,
And from one kingdom to another people,
21 He permitted no man to oppress them,
And (M)He reproved kings for their sakes,
22 “Do not touch My anointed ones,
And (N)against My prophets do no evil.”
23 (O)Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;
Proclaim good news of His salvation from day to day.
24 Recount His glory among the nations,
His wondrous deeds among all the peoples.
25 For (P)great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised;
And He is [d](Q)more [e]fearsome than all gods.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are [f](R)idols,
(S)But Yahweh made the heavens.
27 Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and joy are in His place.
28 Ascribe to Yahweh, O families of the peoples,
Ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
29 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;
Lift up [g]an offering, and come before Him;
(T)Worship Yahweh in the splendor of holiness.
30 Tremble before Him, all the earth;
Indeed, the world is established, it will not be shaken.
31 (U)Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
And let them say among the nations, “(V)Yahweh reigns.”
32 (W)Let the sea [h]roar, as well as its fullness;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Yahweh;
For He is coming to judge the earth.
34 (X)Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
35 (Y)Then say, “Save us, O God of our salvation,
And gather us and deliver us from among the nations,
To give thanks to Your holy name
And revel in Your praise.”
36 (Z)Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel,
From everlasting to everlasting.
Then all the people (AA)said, “Amen,” and praised Yahweh.
Ministering Before the Ark
37 So he left behind Asaph and his [i]relatives there (AB)before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to minister before the ark continually, (AC)as every day’s work required; 38 and (AD)Obed-edom with [j]his 68 relatives; Obed-edom, also the son of Jeduthun, and (AE)Hosah as gatekeepers. 39 Now he left behind (AF)Zadok the priest and his [k]relatives the priests (AG)before the [l]tabernacle of Yahweh in the high place, which was at Gibeon, 40 to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, (AH)even according to all that is written in the law of Yahweh, which He commanded Israel. 41 And with them were (AI)Heman and Jeduthun, and (AJ)the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to (AK)give thanks to Yahweh, because His lovingkindness endures forever. 42 And with them were Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those who should sound aloud, and with instruments for (AL)the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun for the gate.
43 (AM)Then all the people went each to his house, and David returned to bless his household.
