1 أخبار 16

١ 1 ثُمَّ أَدْخَلُوا تَابُوتَ اللهِ إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ الَّتِي نَصَبَهَا دَاوُدُ، وَوَضَعُوهُ فِي وَسَطِهَا وَقَرَّبُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلامٍ لِلهِ.

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.

٢ 2 وَبَعْدَ أَنِ انْتَهَى دَاوُدُ مِنْ تَقْدِيمِ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَذَبَائِحِ السَّلامِ بَارَكَ الشَّعْبَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ.

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.

٣ 3 وَوَزَّعَ عَلَى كُلِّ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ مِنْ رِجَالٍ وَنِسَاءٍ وَسَائِرِ الْحَاضِرِينَ رَغِيفَ خُبْزٍ وَكَأْسَ خَمْرٍ وَقُرْصَ زَبِيبٍ.

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.

٤ 4 وَعَيَّنَ دَاوُدُ عَدَداً مِنَ اللّاوِيِّينَ لِيَقُومُوا بِالْخِدْمَةِ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ الرَّبِّ وَلِرَفْعِ التَّضَرُّعَاتِ وَتَقْدِيمِ الشُّكْرِ وَالتَّسْبِيحِ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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:

٥ 5 وَجَعَلَ آسَافَ رَئِيساً عَلَيْهِمْ وَزَكَرِيَّا مُعَاوِناً لَهُ، وَكَانَ يَعِيئِيلُ وَشَمِيرَامُوثُ وَيَحِيئِيلُ وَمَتَّثْيَا وَأَلِيآبُ وَبَنَايَا وَعُوِبِيدُ أَدُومَ وَيَعِيئِيلُ يَعْزِفُونَ عَلَى الرَّبَابِ وَالأَعْوَادِ، أَمَّا آسَافُ فَكَانَ يَعْزِفُ عَلَى الصُّنُوجِ.

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;

٦ 6 فِي حِينِ كَانَ بَنَايَا وَيَحْزِيئِيلُ الْكَاهِنَانِ يَنْفُخَانِ بِالأَبْوَاقِ دَائِماً أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ.

Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

٧ 7 وَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ يُسَبَّحُ فِيهَا الرَّبُّ بِالْغِنَاءِ (فِي الْخَيْمَةِ) وَقَدْ عَهِدَ دَاوُدُ بِذَلِكَ إِلى آسَافَ وَرِفَاقِهِ:

Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

٨ 8 قَدِّمُوا الشُّكْرَ لِلرَّبِّ؛ ادْعُوا بِاسْمِهِ. عَرِّفُوا بِأَفْعَالِهِ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ.

Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.

٩ 9 غَنُّوا لَهُ؛ اشْدُوا لَهُ؛ حَدِّثُوا بِكُلِّ عَجَائِبِهِ.

Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk all of you of all his wondrous works.

١٠ 10 تَبَاهَوْا بِاسْمِهِ القُدُّوسِ، لِتَفْرَحْ قُلُوبُ طَالِبِي الرَّبِّ.

Glory all of you in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

١١ 11 اطْلُبُوا الرَّبَّ وَقُوَّتَهُ؛ الْتَمِسُوا وَجْهَهُ دَائِماً.

Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.

١٢ 12 اذْكُرُوا عَجَائِبَهُ الَّتِي صَنَعَ، مُعْجِزَاتِهِ وَأَحْكَامَهُ الَّتِي نَطَقَ بِها

Remember his marvellous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

١٣ 13 يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَبْدِهِ، يَا بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ الَّذِينَ اخْتَارَهُمْ

O all of you seed of Israel his servant, all of you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

١٤ 14 هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، أَحْكَامُهُ تَمْلأُ الأَرْضَ كُلَّهَا

He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

١٥ 15 لَمْ يَنْسَ عَهْدَهُ قَطُّ وَلا وَعْدَهُ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ إِلَى أَلْفِ جِيلٍ،

Be all of you mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;

١٦ 16 الْعَهْدَ الَّذِي أَبْرَمَهُ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ؛ وَالْقَسَمَ الَّذِي أَقْسَمَ بِهِ لإِسْحَاقَ

Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;

١٧ 17 ثُمَّ ثَبَّتَهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ فَرِيضَةً؛ وَلإِسْرَائِيلَ مِيثَاقاً أَبَدِيًّا

And has confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

١٨ 18 قَائِلاً: لَكَ أُعْطِي أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ نَصِيبَ مِيرَاثٍ لَكُمْ

Saying, Unto you will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

١٩ 19 إذْ كَانُوا قِلَّةً بَعْدُ؛ نَفَراً ضَئِيلاً مُتَغَرِّبِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ.

When all of you were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.

٢٠ 20 مُتَنَقِّلِينَ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ وَمِنْ مَمْلَكَةٍ إِلَى أُخْرَى

And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;

٢١ 21 فَلَمْ يَدَعْ أَيَّ إِنْسَانٍ يَظْلِمُهُمْ بَلْ وَبَّخَ مُلُوكاً مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ

He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

٢٢ 22 قَائِلاً: لَا تَمَسُّوا مُسَحَائِي، وَلا تُؤْذُوا أَنْبِيَائِي.

Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

٢٣ 23 غَنُّوا لِلرَّبِّ يَا كُلَّ شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ، خَبِّرُوا بِخَلاصِهِ مِنْ يَوْمٍ إِلَى يَوْمٍ.

Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to day his salvation.

٢٤ 24 أَعْلِنُوا مَجْدَهُ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ؛ وَعَجَائِبَهُ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ كُلِّهَا

Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.

٢٥ 25 فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ عَظِيمٌ وَجَدِيرٌ بِكُلِّ حَمْدٍ. هُوَ مَرْهُوبٌ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الآلِهَةِ.

For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.

٢٦ 26 لأَنَّ كُلَّ آلِهَةِ الأُمَمِ أَصْنَامٌ، أَمَّا الرَّبُّ فَهُوَ صَانِعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ.

For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

٢٧ 27 الْجَلالُ وَالْبَهَاءُ أَمَامَهُ، وَالْقُوَّةُ وَالْجَمَالُ فِي مَقْدِسِهِ.

Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.

٢٨ 28 قَدِّمُوا لِلرَّبِّ يَا جَمِيعَ الشُّعُوبِ، قَدِّمُوا لِلرَّبِّ مَجْداً وَقُوَّةً.

Give unto the LORD, all of you families of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

٢٩ 29 قَدِّمُوا لِلرَّبِّ الْمَجْدَ الْوَاجِبَ لاِسْمِهِ، أَحْضِرُوا تَقْدِمَةً وَتَعَالَوْا وَامْثُلُوا فِي حَضْرَتِهِ، اسْجُدُوا لَهُ فِي زِينَةٍ مُقَدَّسَةٍ.

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.

٣٠ 30 ارْتَعِدِي أَمَامَهُ يَا كُلَّ الأَرْضِ، هُوَذَا الأَرْضُ قَدِ اسْتَقَرَّتْ ثَابِتَةً.

Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.

٣١ 31 لِتَفْرَحِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَلْتَبْتَهِجِ الأَرْضُ وَلْيُذَعْ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ مَلَكَ.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigns.

٣٢ 32 لِيَعِجَّ الْبَحْرُ وَكُلُّ مَا يَحْوِيهِ، لِيَتَهَلَّلِ الْحَقْلُ وَكُلُّ مَا فِيهِ.

Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.

٣٣ 33 عِنْدَئِذٍ تَتَرَنَّمُ أَشْجَارُ الْغَابَةِ فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ لأَنَّهُ جَاءَ لِيَدِينَ الأَرْضَ.

Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he comes to judge the earth.

٣٤ 34 احْمَدُوا الرَّبَّ لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ وَرَحْمَتَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ.

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endures for ever.

٣٥ 35 قُولُوا: أَنْقِذْنَا يَا إِلَهَ خَلاصِنَا، وَاجْمَعْ شَمْلَنَا مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ وَخَلِّصْنَا فَنَرْفَعَ الشُّكْرَ لاِسْمِكَ الْقُدُّوسِ وَنَفْتَخِرَ بِتَسْبِيحِكَ.

And say all of you, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to your holy name, and glory in your praise.

٣٦ 36 مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الأَزَلِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. فَأَجَابَ كُلُّ الشَّعْبِ: «آمِين»، وَسَبَّحُوا الرَّبَّ.

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.

٣٧ 37 وَكَلَّفَ دَاوُدُ آسَافَ وَرِفَاقَهُ بِالْقِيَامِ بِالْخِدْمَةِ الْيَوْمِيَّةِ أَمَامَ تَابُوتِ عَهْدِ الرَّبِّ،

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:

٣٨ 38 وَعَهِدَ إِلَى عُوبِيدَ أَدُومَ بْنِ يَدِيثُونَ وَحُوسَةَ وَرِفَاقِهِمِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ وَالسِّتِّينَ بِحِرَاسَةِ التَّابُوتِ.

And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:

٣٩ 39 وَأَوْكَلَ إِلَى صَادُوقَ الْكَاهِنِ وَرِفَاقِهِ الْكَهَنَةِ خِدْمَةَ مَسْكَنِ الرَّبِّ الْقَدِيمِ الْقَائِمِ عَلَى مُرْتَفَعَةِ جِبْعُونَ،

And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,

٤٠ 40 لِيُقَرِّبُوا عَلَى مَذْبَحِ الْمُحْرَقَةِ قَرَابِينَ لِلرَّبِّ بِصُورَةٍ دَائِمَةٍ فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ وَمَسَاءٍ، كَمَا هُوَ مُدَوَّنٌ فِي شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي أَمَرَ بِها إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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;

٤١ 41 وَأَضَافَ إِلَيْهِمْ هَيْمَانَ وَيَدُوثُونَ وَسَائِرَ الْمُخْتَارِينَ الَّذِينَ وَرَدَتْ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ لِيُمَجِّدُوا الرَّبَّ، لأَنَّ رَحْمَتَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ.

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 endures for ever;

٤٢ 42 فَكَانَ هَيْمَانُ وَيَدُوثُونُ يَنْفُخَانِ بِالأَبْوَاقِ وَيَعْزِفَانِ عَلَى الصُّنُوجِ وَسِوَاهَا مِنْ آلاتِ غِنَاءٍ لِلهِ، كَمَا قَامَ أَبْنَاءُ يَدُوثُونَ بِالْحِرَاسَةِ.

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.

٤٣ 43 ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الشَّعْبِ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَعَادَ دَاوُدُ لِيُبَارِكَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ.

And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
