Første Krønikebog 16
1 Og de indførte Guds Ark og satte den midt i Paulunet, som David havde opslaget til den, og ofrede Brændofre og Takofre for Guds Ansigt.
And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had spread for it; and they presented burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God.
2 Og der David var færdig med at ofre Brændofferet og Takofferet, da velsignede han Folket i Herrens Navn.
And when David had ended offering up the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah.
3 Og han uddelte til hver Mand i Israel, baade Mænd og Kvinder, til hver især et helt Brød og et Stykke Kød og en Rosinkage.
And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread and a measure [of wine] and a raisin-cake.
4 Og han satte nogle af Leviterne for Herrens Ark til Tjenere og til at prise og at takke og at love Herren Israels Gud;
And he appointed certain of the Levites to do the service before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate, and to thank and praise Jehovah the God of Israel:
5 — Asaf var den ypperste og den anden efter ham Sakaria; — Jeiel og Semiramoth og Jehiel og Mathithja og Eliab og Benaja og Obed-Edom og Jeiel med Psaltres Instrumenter og med Harper, og Asaf lod sig høre med Cymbler;
Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with instruments of lutes and with harps; and Asaph sounding with cymbals;
6 men Benaja og Jehasiel, Præsterne, med stedse lydende Basuner foran Guds Pagts Ark.
and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 Paa den Dag overdrog David første Gang Asaf og hans Brødre at synge Lovsangen for Herren:
Then on that day David delivered first [this psalm] to give thanks to Jehovah through Asaph and his brethren.
8 Lover Herren, paakalder hans Navn, kundgører hans Gerninger iblandt Folkene.
Give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known his acts among the peoples.
9 Synger for ham, synger Psalmer for ham, taler om alle hans underlige Gerninger!
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; Meditate upon all his wondrous works.
10 Roser eder af hans hellige Navn; deres Hjerte skal glædes, som søge Herren.
Glory in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
11 Spørger efter Herren og hans Magt, søger hans Ansigt altid!
Seek Jehovah and his strength, Seek his face continually;
12 Kommer hans underlige Gerninger i Hu, som han har gjort, hans underlige Ting og hans Munds Domme.
Remember his wondrous works which he hath done; His miracles, and the judgments of his mouth:
13 I, hans Tjener Israels Sæd! I Jakobs Børn, hans udvalgte!
Ye seed of Israel his servant, Ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 Han er Herren vor Gud, hans Domme ere i al Verden.
He, Jehovah, is our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
15 Kommer evindeligt hans Pagt i Hu, det Ord, han har befalet, til tusinde Slægter,
Be ye ever mindful of his covenant, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations, —
16 som han indgik med Abraham, og hans Ed til Isak,
Which he made with Abraham, And of his oath unto Isaac;
17 og stadfæstede for Jakob til en Skik, for Israel til en evig Pagt,
And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, Unto Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 der han sagde: Dig vil jeg give Kanaans Land, eders Arvs Part;
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;
19 der I vare en liden Hob Folk, ja faa og fremmede der.
When ye were a few men in number, Of small account, and strangers in it.
20 Og de vandrede fra Folk til Folk, og fra et Rige til et andet Folk.
And they went from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people.
21 Han lod ingen Mand gøre dem Uret og straffede Konger for deres Skyld, sigende:
He suffered no man to oppress them, And reproved kings for their sakes,
22 Rører ikke ved mine Salvede, og gører mine Profeter intet ondt!
[Saying, ] Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.
23 Synger for Herren, alt Landet! bebuder fra Dag til Dag hans Frelse!
Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth; Publish his salvation from day to day.
24 Fortæller hans Herlighed iblandt Hedningerne, hans underfulde Gerninger iblandt alle Folkene.
Declare his glory among the nations, His wondrous works among all peoples.
25 Thi Herren er stor og saare priselig, og han er forfærdelig over alle Guder.
For Jehovah is great, and exceedingly to be praised; And he is terrible above all gods.
26 Thi alle Folkenes Guder ere Afguder, men Herren gjorde Himmelen.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens.
27 Ære og Hæder er for hans Ansigt, Styrke og Glæde er paa hans Sted.
Majesty and splendour are before him; Strength and gladness in his place.
28 Giver Herren, I Folks Slægter! giver Herren Ære og Styrke!
Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, Give unto Jehovah glory and strength!
29 Giver Herren hans Navns Ære; fremfører Skænk og kommer for hans Ansigt, tilbeder Herren i hellig Prydelse!
Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name! Bring an oblation, and come before him: Worship Jehovah in holy splendour.
30 Al Jorden bæve for hans Ansigt, og Jordens Kreds skal befæstes, at den ikke ryster.
Tremble before him, all the earth: The world also is established, it shall not be moved.
31 Himlene skulle glædes, og Jorden frydes, og de skulle sige iblandt Hedningerne: Herren regerer.
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth!
32 Havet skal bruse og dets Fylde; Marken skal frydes, og alt det, som er paa den.
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; Let the field exult, and all that is therein.
33 Da skulle Træerne i Skoven fryde sig for Herrens Ansigt, thi han kommer for at dømme Jorden.
Then shall the trees of the forest sing out at the presence of Jehovah, For he cometh to judge the earth.
34 Lover Herren, thi han er god, thi hans Miskundhed varer evindelig,
Give thanks unto Jehovah, for he is good; For his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
35 og siger: Frels os, vor Frelses Gud! og saml os og udfri os fra Hedningerne for at love dit hellige Navn, at berømme os af din Pris.
And say, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us, and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, To triumph in thy praise.
36 Lovet være Herren, Israels Gud, fra Evighed til Evighed! Og alt Folket sagde Amen, og: Lov Herren!
Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And all the people said, Amen! and praised Jehovah.
37 Saa lod han der blive foran Herrens Pagts Ark Asaf og hans Brødre til stadig Tjeneste foran Arken, til hver Dags Gerning paa sin Dag.
And he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Asaph and his brethren, to do the service before the ark continually, as every day's duty required;
38 Og Obed-Edom og deres Brødre, otte og tresindstyve, ja Obed-Edom, Jeduthuns Søn, og Hosa satte han til Portnere.
and Obed-Edom, and their brethren, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah as doorkeepers.
39 Og Zadok, Præsten, og hans Brødre, Præsterne, lod han tjene foran Herrens Tabernakel paa den Høj, som er i Gibeon,
And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon,
40 at de stadigt skulde bringe Herren Brændofre paa Brændofferets Alter, Morgen og Aften, og det efter alt det, som er skrevet i Herrens Lov, som han bød Israel.
to offer up burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the altar of burnt-offering continually, morning and evening, and according to all that is written in the law of Jehovah, which he commanded Israel;
41 Og med dem vare Heman og Jeduthun og de øvrige af de udvalgte, som vare nævnte ved Navn, til at love Herren, fordi hans Miskundhed varer evindelig.
and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, because his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;
42 Ja med dem vare Heman og Jeduthun, for dem, som lode sig høre med Basuner og Cymbler og med Guds Sanges Instrumenter; men Jeduthuns Sønner vare ved Porten.
and with them, [with] Heman and Jeduthun, trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud; and the musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were at the gate.
43 Saa drog alt Folket hen, hver til sit Hus; og David vendte om for at velsigne sit Hus.
And all the people departed every one to his house; and David returned to bless his household.
