١ أخبار 16
| وَأَدْخَلُوا تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ وَأَثْبَتُوهُ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ ٱلَّتِي نَصَبَهَا لَهُ دَاوُدُ، وَقَرَّبُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ. | ١ 1 |
They brought the Ark of God and placed it in the tent that David had prepared for it. They presented burnt offerings and friendship offerings to God.
| وَلَمَّا ٱنْتَهَى دَاوُدُ مِنْ إِصْعَادِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَذَبَائِحِ ٱلسَّلَامَةِ بَارَكَ ٱلشَّعْبَ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢ 2 |
Once David had finished presenting the burnt offerings and friendship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
| وَقَسَمَ عَلَى كُلِّ آلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَاءِ، عَلَى كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ، رَغِيفَ خُبْزٍ وَكَأْسَ خَمْرٍ وَقُرْصَ زَبِيبٍ. | ٣ 3 |
Then he shared out to every Israelite, to every man and woman, a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake.
| وَجَعَلَ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ مِنَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ خُدَّامًا، وَلِأَجْلِ ٱلتَّذْكِيرِ وَٱلشُّكْرِ وَتَسْبِيحِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: | ٤ 4 |
David assigned some of the Levites to serve as ministers before the Ark of the Lord, to remember, to thank, and to praise the Lord, the God of Israel.
| آسَافَ ٱلرَّأْسَ وَزَكَرِيَّا ثَانِيَهُ، وَيَعِيئِيلَ وَشَمِيرَامُوثَ وَيَحِيئِيلَ وَمَتَّثْيَا وَأَلِيآبَ وَبَنَايَا وَعُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ وَيَعِيئِيلَ بِآلَاتٍ رَبَابٍ وَعِيدَانٍ. وَكَانَ آسَافُ يُصَوِّتُ بِٱلصُّنُوجِ. | ٥ 5 |
Asaph was the one in charge, Zechariah was second, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel. They played harps and lyres, and Asaph struck the cymbals,
| وَبَنَايَا وَيَحْزِيئِيلُ ٱلْكَاهِنَانِ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ دَائِمًا أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱللهِ. | ٦ 6 |
and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blew the trumpets continually in front of the Ark of God's Agreement.
| حِينَئِذٍ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَوَّلًا جَعَلَ دَاوُدُ يَحْمَدُ ٱلرَّبَّ بِيَدِ آسَافَ وَإِخْوَتِهِ: | ٧ 7 |
This was the day that David first instructed Asaph and his relatives to express thanks to the Lord in this way:
| «اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. ٱدْعُوا بِٱسْمِهِ. أَخْبِرُوا فِي ٱلشُّعُوبِ بِأَعْمَالِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
Give the Lord thanks, worship his wonderful nature, let people know what he's done!
| غَنُّوا لَهُ. تَرَنَّمُوا لَهُ. تَحَادَثُوا بِكُلِّ عَجَائِبِهِ. | ٩ 9 |
Sing to him, sing his praises; tell everyone the great things he's done!
| ٱفْتَخِرُوا بِٱسْمِ قُدْسِهِ. تَفْرَحُ قُلُوبُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَلْتَمِسُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ. | ١٠ 10 |
Be proud of his holy character; be happy, all who come to the Lord!
| ٱطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ وَعِزَّهُ. ٱلْتَمِسُوا وَجْهَهُ دَائِمًا. | ١١ 11 |
Look for the Lord, and his strength; always look to be with him.
| ٱذْكُرُوا عَجَائِبَهُ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَ. آيَاتِهِ وَأَحْكَامَ فَمِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Remember all the wonderful things he's done, the miracles he's performed, and the judgments he's carried out,
| يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَبْدِهِ، وَبَنِي يَعْقُوبَ مُخْتَارِيهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
descendants of Israel, children of Jacob, his chosen people.
| هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا. فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَحْكَامُهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
He is the Lord, our God, his judgments cover the whole earth.
| ٱذْكُرُوا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ عَهْدَهُ، ٱلْكَلِمَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَى بِهَا إِلَى أَلْفِ جِيلٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
He remembers his agreement forever, the promise he made lasts for a thousand generations;
| ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ. وَقَسَمَهُ لِإِسْحَاقَ. | ١٦ 16 |
the agreement he made with Abraham, the vow he gave to Isaac.
| وَقَدْ أَقَامَهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ فَرِيضَةً، وَلِإِسْرَائِيلَ عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا. | ١٧ 17 |
The Lord legally confirmed it with Jacob, he made this everlasting agreement with Israel:
| قَائِلًا: لَكَ أُعْطِي أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ حَبْلَ مِيرَاثِكُمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
saying, “I will give the land of Canaan to you for you to possess.”
| حِينَ كُنْتُمْ عَدَدًا قَلِيلًا، قَلِيلِينَ جِدًّا وَغُرَبَاءَ فِيهَا. | ١٩ 19 |
He said this when there were only a few of you, just a small group of foreigners in the land.
| وَذَهَبُوا مِنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ وَمِنْ مَمْلَكَةٍ إِلَى شَعْبٍ آخَرَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
They wandered from country to country, from one kingdom to the next.
| لَمْ يَدَعْ أَحَدًا يَظْلِمُهُمْ بَلْ وَبَّخَ مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ مُلُوكًا. | ٢١ 21 |
He didn't let anyone one treat them badly; warning kings to leave them alone:
| لَا تَمَسُّوا مُسَحَائِي وَلَا تُؤْذُوا أَنْبِيَائِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
“Don't touch my chosen people; don't harm my prophets!”
| «غَنُّوا لِلرَّبِّ يَا كُلَّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. بَشِّرُوا مِنْ يَوْمٍ إِلَى يَوْمٍ بِخَلَاصِهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Sing to the Lord, all the earth, sing to the Lord! Each day let everyone know of his salvation!
| حَدِّثُوا فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ بِمَجْدِهِ وَفِي كُلِّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ بِعَجَائِبِهِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Declare his glorious acts among the nations, the wonderful things he does among all peoples.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ عَظِيمٌ وَمُفْتَخَرٌ جِدًّا. وَهُوَ مَرْهُوبٌ فَوْقَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْآلِهَةِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
For the Lord is great, and deserves the best praise! He is to be respected with awe above all gods.
| لِأَنَّ كُلَّ آلِهَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ أَصْنَامٌ، وَأَمَّا ٱلرَّبُّ فَقَدْ صَنَعَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
For all the gods of other nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens!
| ٱلْجَلَالُ وَٱلْبَهَاءُ أَمَامَهُ. ٱلْعِزَّةُ وَٱلْبَهْجَةُ فِي مَكَانِهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Splendor and majesty are his; power and glory are in his sanctuary.
| هَبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ يَا عَشَائِرَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، هَبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ مَجْدًا وَعِزَّةً. | ٢٨ 28 |
Give the Lord credit, nations of the world, credit him with glory and strength.
| هَبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ مَجْدَ ٱسْمِهِ. ٱحْمِلُوا هَدَايَا وَتَعَالَوْا إِلَى أَمَامِهِ. ٱسْجُدُوا لِلرَّبِّ فِي زِينَةٍ مُقَدَّسَةٍ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Give the Lord the glory he deserves; bring an offering and come before him. Worship the Lord in his magnificent holiness.
| ٱرْتَعِدُوا أَمَامَهُ يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. تَثَبَّتَتِ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةُ أَيْضًا، لَا تَتَزَعْزَعُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Let everyone on earth tremble in his presence. The world is held together firmly—it cannot be broken apart.
| لِتَفْرَحِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَتَبْتَهِجِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَيَقُولُوا فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ: ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ مَلَكَ. | ٣١ 31 |
Let the heavens sing for joy, let the earth be happy. Tell the nations, “The Lord is in charge!”
| لِيَعِجَّ ٱلْبَحْرُ وَمِلْؤُهُ، وَلْتَبْتَهِجِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةُ وَكُلُّ مَا فِيهَا. | ٣٢ 32 |
Let the sea and everything in it shout with praise! Let the fields and everything there celebrate;
| حِينَئِذٍ تَتَرَنَّمُ أَشْجَارُ ٱلْوَعْرِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ لِيَدِينَ ٱلْأَرْضَ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Let all the trees in the forest sing for joy, for he is coming to judge the earth.
| ٱحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ. | ٣٤ 34 |
Say thank you to the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love continues forever!
| وَقُولُوا: خَلِّصْنَا يَا إِلَهَ خَلَاصِنَا، وَٱجْمَعْنَا وَأَنْقِذْنَا مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ لِنَحْمَدَ ٱسْمَ قُدْسِكَ، وَنَتَفَاخَرَ بِتَسْبِيحَتِكَ. | ٣٥ 35 |
Shout out, “Save us, Lord, our God! Bring us back together from among the nations, rescue us, so we can thank you and praise how magnificent and holy you are.”
| مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْأَزَلِ وَإِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». فَقَالَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «آمِينَ» وَسَبَّحُوا ٱلرَّبَّ. | ٣٦ 36 |
How wonderful is the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives forever and ever! Then all the people said, “Amen!” and “Praise the Lord!”
| وَتَرَكَ هُنَاكَ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ آسَافَ وَإِخْوَتَهُ لِيَخْدِمُوا أَمَامَ ٱلتَّابُوتِ دَائِمًا خِدْمَةَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهَا، | ٣٧ 37 |
Then David made sure Asaph and his brothers would minister continually before the Ark of the Lord's Agreement, performing whatever services were needed every day,
| وَعُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ وَإِخْوَتَهُمْ ثمَانِيَةً وَسِتِّينَ، وَعُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ بْنَ يَدِيثُونَ وَحُوسَةَ بَوَّابِينَ. | ٣٨ 38 |
as well as Obed-edom and his sixty-eight relatives. Obed-edom, son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, were gatekeepers.
| وَصَادُوقَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ وَإِخْوَتَهُ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ أَمَامَ مَسْكَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي جِبْعُونَ | ٣٩ 39 |
David put Zadok the priest and his fellow priests in charge of the Ark of the Lord at the high place in Gibeon
| لِيُصْعِدُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱلْمُحْرَقَةِ دَائِمًا صَبَاحًا وَمَسَاءً، وَحَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي شَرِيعَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ بِهَا إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤٠ 40 |
to present burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of burnt offerings, morning and evening, according to all that was written in the law of the Lord which he had ordered Israel to follow.
| وَمَعَهُمْ هَيْمَانَ وَيَدُوثُونَ وَبَاقِيَ ٱلْمُنْتَخَبِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ ذُكِرَتْ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ لِيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ. | ٤١ 41 |
They were accompanied by Heman, Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen and identified by name to give thanks to the Lord, for “His trustworthy love lasts forever.”
| وَمَعَهُمْ هَيْمَانُ وَيَدُوثُونُ بِأَبْوَاقٍ وَصُنُوجٍ لِلْمُصَوِّتِينَ، وَآلَاتِ غِنَاءٍلِلهِ، وَبَنُو يَدُوثُونَ بَوَّابُونَ. | ٤٢ 42 |
Heman and Jeduthun used their trumpets and cymbals to make music to accompany the songs of God. The sons of Jeduthun guarded the gate.
| ثُمَّ ٱنْطَلَقَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، وَرَجَعَ دَاوُدُ لِيُبَارِكَ بَيْتَهُ. | ٤٣ 43 |
Then all the people went home, and David went to bless his family.
