1 De førte så Guds Pagts Ark ind og stillede den midt i det Telt, David havde rejst den; og de ofrede Brændofre og Takofre for Guds Åsyn.
They brought in the ark of God and put it in the middle of the tent that David had set up for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before God.
2 Og da David var færdig med Brændofrene og Takofrene, velsignede han Folket i HERRENs Navn
When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh.
3 og uddelte til hver enkelt Israelit, både Mand og Kvinde, en Brødskive, et Stykke Kød og en Rosinkage.
He distributed to every Israelite, both to men and women, a loaf of bread, and a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins.
4 Foran HERRENs Ark stillede han nogle af Leviterne til at gøre Tjeneste og til at takke, love og prise HERREN, Israels Gud;
David appointed certain Levites to serve before the ark of Yahweh, and to celebrate, thank and praise Yahweh, the God of Israel.
5 Asaf var Leder, og næst efter ham kom Zekarja, så Uzziel, Sjemiramot, Jehiel, Mattitja, Eliab, Benaja, Obed-Edom og Je'iel med Harper og Citre, medens Asaf lod Cymblerne klinge,
These Levites were Asaph the leader, and second to him Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed Edom, and Jeiel. These were to play with stringed instruments and with harps. Asaph was to sound the cymbals, sounding loudly.
6 og Præsterne Benaja og Jahaziel stadig blæste i Trompeterne foran Guds Pagts Ark.
Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow the trumpets regularly, before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 Den Dag, ved den Lejlighed, overdrog David for første Gang Asaf og hans Brødre at lovsynge HERREN.
Then on that day David first appointed Asaph and his brothers to sing this song of thanksgiving to Yahweh.

18 idet han sagde: "Dig giver jeg Kana'ans Land som eders Arvelod."
He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan as your share of your inheritance.”
19 Da de kun var en liden Hob, kun få og fremmede der,
When they were only few in number, so very few, and they were strangers in the land,
20 og vandred fra Folk til Folk, fra et Rige til et andet,
they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
21 tillod han ingen at volde dem Men, men tugted for deres Skyld Konger:
He did not allow anyone to oppress them; he punished kings for their sakes.
22 "Rør ikke mine Salvede, gør ikke mine Profeter ondt!"

So David left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to serve continually before the ark, as every day's work required.

Obed Edom with those sixty-eight relatives were included. Obed Edom son of Jeduthun, along with Hosah, were to be gatekeepers.

Heman and Jeduthun were with them, together with the rest who were chosen by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, because his covenant faithfulness endures forever.

Heman and Jeduthun were in charge of those who played trumpets, cymbals, and the other instruments for the sacred music. The sons of Jeduthun guarded the gate.
43 Derpå gik alt Folket hver til sit, og David vendte hjem for at velsigne sit Hus.
Then all the people returned to their homes, and David returned to bless his own household.
