1 Chroniques 16
Nouvelle Edition de Genève – NEG1979
Organisation du service du tabernacle; cantique de David
16 Après qu’on eut amené l’arche de Dieu, on la plaça au milieu de la tente que David avait dressée pour elle, et l’on offrit devant Dieu des holocaustes et des sacrifices d’actions de grâces. 2 Quand David eut achevé d’offrir les holocaustes et les sacrifices d’actions de grâces, il bénit le peuple au nom de l’Eternel. 3 Puis il distribua à tous ceux d’Israël, hommes et femmes, à chacun un pain, une portion de viande et un gâteau de raisins.
4 Il remit à des Lévites la charge de faire le service devant l’arche de l’Eternel, d’invoquer, de louer et de célébrer l’Eternel, le Dieu d’Israël. 5 C’étaient: Asaph, le chef; Zacharie, le second après lui, Jeïel, Schemiramoth, Jehiel, Matthithia, Eliab, Benaja, Obed-Edom et Jeïel. Ils avaient des instruments de musique, des luths et des harpes; et Asaph faisait retentir les cymbales. 6 Les sacrificateurs Benaja et Jachaziel sonnaient continuellement des trompettes devant l’arche de l’alliance de Dieu. 7 Ce fut en ce jour que David chargea pour la première fois Asaph et ses frères de célébrer les louanges de l’Eternel.
8 Louez l’Eternel, invoquez son nom!
Faites connaître parmi les peuples ses hauts faits!
9 Chantez, chantez en son honneur!
Parlez de toutes ses merveilles!
10 Glorifiez-vous de son saint nom!
Que le cœur de ceux qui cherchent l’Eternel se réjouisse!
11 Ayez recours à l’Eternel et à son appui,
Cherchez continuellement sa face!
12 Souvenez-vous des prodiges qu’il a faits,
De ses miracles et des jugements de sa bouche,
13 Race d’Israël, son serviteur,
Enfants de Jacob, ses élus!
14 L’Eternel est notre Dieu;
Ses jugements s’exercent sur toute la terre.
15 Rappelez-vous à toujours son alliance,
Ses promesses pour mille générations,
16 L’alliance qu’il a traitée avec Abraham,
Et le serment qu’il a fait à Isaac;
17 Il l’a érigé pour Jacob en loi,
Pour Israël en alliance éternelle,
18 Disant: Je te donnerai le pays de Canaan
Comme l’héritage qui vous est échu.
19 Ils étaient alors peu nombreux,
Très peu nombreux, et étrangers dans le pays,
20 Et ils allaient d’une nation à l’autre
Et d’un royaume vers un autre peuple;
21 Mais il ne permit à personne de les opprimer,
Et il châtia des rois à cause d’eux:
22 Ne touchez pas à mes oints,
Et ne faites pas de mal à mes prophètes!
23 Chantez à l’Eternel, vous tous habitants de la terre!
Annoncez de jour en jour son salut;
24 Racontez parmi les nations sa gloire,
Parmi tous les peuples ses merveilles!
25 Car l’Eternel est grand et très digne de louange,
Il est redoutable par-dessus tous les dieux;
26 Car tous les dieux des peuples sont des idoles,
Et l’Eternel a fait les cieux.
27 La majesté et la splendeur sont devant sa face,
La force et la joie sont dans sa demeure.
28 Familles des peuples, rendez à l’Eternel,
Rendez à l’Eternel gloire et honneur!
29 Rendez à l’Eternel gloire pour son nom!
Apportez des offrandes et venez en sa présence,
Adorez l’Eternel avec de saints ornements!
30 Tremblez devant lui, vous tous, habitants de la terre!
Le monde est affermi, il ne chancelle point.
31 Que les cieux se réjouissent, et que la terre soit dans l’allégresse!
Que l’on dise parmi les nations:
L’Eternel règne!
32 Que la mer retentisse avec tout ce qu’elle contient!
Que la campagne s’égaie avec tout ce qu’elle renferme!
33 Que les arbres des forêts poussent des cris de joie
Devant l’Eternel! Car il vient pour juger la terre.
34 Louez l’Eternel, car il est bon,
Car sa miséricorde dure à toujours!
35 Dites: Sauve-nous, Dieu de notre salut,
Rassemble-nous, et retire-nous du milieu des nations,
Afin que nous célébrions ton saint nom
Et que nous mettions notre gloire à te louer!
36 Béni soit l’Eternel, le Dieu d’Israël,
D’éternité en éternité!
Et que tout le peuple dise: Amen!
Louez l’Eternel[a]!
37 David laissa là, devant l’arche de l’alliance de l’Eternel, Asaph et ses frères, afin qu’ils soient continuellement de service devant l’arche, remplissant leur tâche jour par jour. 38 Il laissa Obed-Edom et Hosa avec leurs frères, au nombre de soixante-huit, Obed-Edom, fils de Jeduthun, et Hosa, comme portiers.
39 Il établit le sacrificateur Tsadok et les sacrificateurs, ses frères, devant le tabernacle de l’Eternel, sur le haut lieu qui était à Gabaon, 40 pour qu’ils offrent continuellement à l’Eternel des holocaustes, matin et soir, sur l’autel des holocaustes, et qu’ils accomplissent tout ce qui est écrit dans la loi de l’Eternel, imposée par l’Eternel à Israël. 41 Auprès d’eux étaient Héman et Jeduthun, et les autres qui avaient été choisis et désignés par leurs noms pour louer l’Eternel. Car sa miséricorde dure à toujours. 42 Auprès d’eux étaient Héman et Jeduthun, avec des trompettes et des cymbales pour ceux qui les faisaient retentir, et avec des instruments pour les cantiques en l’honneur de Dieu. Les fils de Jeduthun étaient portiers.
43 Tout le peuple s’en alla chacun dans sa maison, et David s’en retourna pour bénir sa maison.

1 Chronicles 16
King James Version
16 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.
2 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.
4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, and to record, and to thank and praise the Lord God of Israel:
5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;
6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the Lord into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
8 Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
11 Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.
12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
23 Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.
24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.
25 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.
26 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.
27 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.
28 Give unto the Lord, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
29 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.
32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the Lord, because he cometh to judge the earth.
34 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.
36 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the Lord.
37 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required:
38 And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:
39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place that was at Gibeon,
40 To offer burnt offerings unto the Lord upon the altar of the burnt offering continually 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 that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the Lord, because his mercy endureth for ever;
42 And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.
43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.

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.
