Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
16 眾人將上帝的約櫃抬進去，安放在大衛所搭的帳篷裡，然後在上帝面前獻上燔祭和平安祭。 2 大衛獻上燔祭和平安祭後，就奉耶和華的名給民眾祝福， 3 又給以色列男女每人一個餅、一塊肉和一個葡萄餅。
4 大衛指派一些利未人在耶和華的約櫃前事奉，頌揚、稱謝和讚美以色列的上帝耶和華。 5 為首的是亞薩，其次是撒迦利雅、雅薛、示米拉末、耶歇、瑪他提雅、以利押、比拿雅、俄別·以東和耶利，他們鼓瑟彈琴，亞薩敲鈸。 6 比拿雅和雅哈悉兩位祭司在上帝的約櫃前吹號。
大衛的頌歌
7 那一天，大衛初次指派亞薩和他的親族唱詩歌頌耶和華，說：
8 「你們要稱謝耶和華，
呼求祂的名，
在列邦傳揚祂的作為。
9 要歌頌、讚美祂，
述說祂一切奇妙的作為。
10 要以祂的聖名為榮，
願尋求耶和華的人都歡欣。
11 要尋求耶和華和祂的能力，
時常來到祂面前。
12-13 祂僕人以色列的後裔啊，
祂所揀選的雅各的子孫啊，
要記住祂所行的神蹟奇事和祂口中的判詞。
14 「祂是我們的上帝耶和華，
祂在普天下施行審判。
15 你們要永遠銘記祂的約，
要思想祂的應許直到千代，
16 就是祂與亞伯拉罕所立的約，
向以撒所起的誓。
17 祂將這約定為律例賜給雅各，
定為永遠的約賜給以色列。
18 祂說，『我必把迦南賜給你，
作為你的產業。』
19 「那時他們人丁稀少，
在當地寄居，
20 他們在異國他鄉流離飄零。
21 耶和華不容人壓迫他們，
還為他們的緣故責備君王，
22 說，『不可難為我膏立的人，
也不可傷害我的先知。』
23 「普天下都要歌頌耶和華，
要天天傳揚祂的救恩；
24 要在列國述說祂的榮耀，
在萬民中述說祂的奇妙作為。
25 因為耶和華無比偉大，
當受至高的頌揚；
祂超越一切神明，
當受敬畏。
26 列邦的神明都是假的，
唯獨耶和華創造了諸天。
27 祂尊貴威嚴，
祂的聖所充滿能力和喜樂。
28 「萬族萬民啊，
要把榮耀和能力歸給耶和華，
歸給耶和華！
29 要將耶和華當得的榮耀歸給祂，
要將供物獻給祂，
要穿上聖潔的衣服敬拜祂。
30 普天下要在祂面前戰抖；
祂堅立世界，使它不致搖動。
31 願天歡喜，願地快樂；
願他們向列國宣告，
『耶和華是王！』
32 願海洋和其中的萬物都歡呼，
願田野和其中的一切都歡騰！
33 那時，林中的樹木都要在耶和華面前歡唱，
因為祂要來審判天下。
34 要稱謝耶和華，
因為祂是美善的，
祂的慈愛永遠長存！
35 「要說，『拯救我們的上帝啊，
求你救我們，招聚我們，
從列國把我們救出來，
我們好稱謝你的聖名，
以讚美你為榮。』
36 從亙古到永遠，
以色列的上帝耶和華當受稱頌！」
眾民都說：「阿們」，
並讚美耶和華。

1 Chronicles 16
New Century Version
16 They brought the Ark of God and put it inside the tent that David had set up for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to God. 2 When David had finished giving the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord. 3 He gave a loaf of bread, some dates, and raisins to every Israelite man and woman.
4 Then David appointed some of the Levites to serve before the Ark of the Lord. They had the job of leading the worship and giving thanks and praising the Lord, the God of Israel. 5 Asaph, who played the cymbals, was the leader. Zechariah was second to him. The other Levites were Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel. They played the lyres and harps. 6 Benaiah and Jahaziel were priests who blew the trumpets regularly before the Ark of the Agreement with God. 7 That day David first gave Asaph and his relatives the job of singing praises to the Lord.
David’s Song of Thanks
8 Give thanks to the Lord and pray to him.
Tell the nations what he has done.
9 Sing to him; sing praises to him.
Tell about all his miracles.
10 Be glad that you are his;
let those who seek the Lord be happy.
11 Depend on the Lord and his strength;
always go to him for help.
12 Remember the miracles he has done,
his wonders, and his decisions.
13 You are the descendants of his servant, Israel;
you are the children of Jacob, his chosen people.
14 He is the Lord our God.
His laws are for all the world.
15 He will keep his agreement forever;
he will keep his promises always.
16 He will keep the agreement he made with Abraham
and the promise he made to Isaac.
17 He made it a law for the people of Jacob;
he made it an agreement with Israel to last forever.
18 He said, “I will give the land of Canaan to you,
to belong to you.”
19 Then God’s people were few in number,
and they were strangers in the land.
20 They went from one nation to another,
from one kingdom to another.
21 But he did not let anyone hurt them;
he warned kings not to harm them.
22 He said, “Don’t touch my chosen people,
and don’t harm my prophets.”
23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Every day tell how he saves us.
24 Tell the nations about his glory;
tell all peoples the miracles he does.
25 The Lord is great; he should be praised.
He should be respected more than all the gods.
26 All the gods of the nations are only idols,
but the Lord made the skies.
27 He has glory and majesty;
he has power and joy in his Temple.
28 Praise the Lord, all nations on earth.
Praise the Lord’s glory and power;
29 praise the glory of the Lord’s name.
Bring an offering and come to him.
Worship the Lord because he is holy.
30 Tremble before him, everyone on earth.
The earth is set, and it cannot be moved.
31 Let the skies rejoice and the earth be glad.
Let people everywhere say, “The Lord is king!”
32 Let the sea and everything in it shout;
let the fields and everything in them rejoice.
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing
for joy before the Lord.
They will sing because he is coming to judge the world.
34 Thank the Lord because he is good.
His love continues forever.
35 Say to him, “Save us, God our Savior,
and bring us back and save us from other nations.
Then we will thank you
and will gladly praise you.”
36 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel.
He always was and always will be.
All the people said “Amen” and praised the Lord.
37 Then David left Asaph and the other Levites there in front of the Ark of the Agreement with the Lord. They were to serve there every day. 38 David also left Obed-Edom and sixty-eight other Levites to serve with them. Hosah and Obed-Edom son of Jeduthun were guards.
39 David left Zadok the priest and the other priests who served with him in front of the Tent of the Lord at the place of worship in Gibeon. 40 Every morning and evening they offered burnt offerings on the altar of burnt offerings, following the rules written in the Teachings of the Lord, which he had given Israel. 41 With them were Heman and Jeduthun and other Levites. They were chosen by name to sing praises to the Lord because his love continues forever. 42 Heman and Jeduthun also had the job of playing the trumpets and cymbals and other musical instruments when songs were sung to God. Jeduthun’s sons guarded the gates.
43 Then all the people left. Each person went home, and David also went home to bless the people in his home.
