1 Chronicles 16
1 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent, which David had pitched for it: and they offered holocausts, and peace offerings before God.
Peti Perjanjian itu diletakkan di dalam kemah yang telah disediakan oleh Daud untuk Peti itu. Lalu mereka mempersembahkan kepada Allah kurban bakaran dan kurban perdamaian.
2 And when David had made an end of offering holocausts, and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
Setelah Daud selesai mempersembahkan kurban-kurban itu, ia memberkati rakyat atas nama TUHAN,
3 And he divided to all and every one, both men and women, a loaf of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and flour fried with oil.
lalu membagi-bagikan makanan kepada mereka semua. Setiap orang yang ada di situ baik laki-laki maupun wanita mendapat sepotong daging panggang, roti dan kue kismis.
4 And he appointed Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, and to remember his works, and to glorify, and praise the Lord God of Israel.
Daud mengangkat beberapa orang Lewi untuk memimpin upacara ibadat kepada TUHAN, Allah Israel, di depan Peti Perjanjian itu, dengan nyanyian dan puji-pujian.
5 Asaph the chief, and next after him Zacharias: moreover Jahiel, and Semiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mathathias, and Eliab, and Banaias, and Obededom: and Jehiel over the instruments of psaltery, and harps: and Asaph sounded with cymbals:
Asaf dipilih sebagai pemimpin utama dan Zakharia wakilnya. Yeiel, Semiramot, Yehiel, Matica, Eliab, Benaya, Obed-Edom dan Yeiel ditugaskan untuk memainkan kecapi. Asaf ditugaskan memainkan simbal,
6 But Banaias, and Jaziel the priests, to sound the trumpet continually before the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
dan dua orang imam, yaitu Benaya dan Yahaziel, ditugaskan untuk secara tetap meniup trompet di depan Peti Perjanjian itu.
7 In that day David made Asaph the chief to give praise to the Lord with his brethren.
Itulah pertama kalinya Daud menugaskan Asaf dan rekan-rekannya untuk menyanyikan puji-pujian kepada TUHAN.
8 Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make known his doings among the nations.
Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, wartakanlah kebesaran-Nya, ceritakanlah perbuatan-Nya di antara bangsa-bangsa.
9 Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: and relate all his wondrous works.
Nyanyikanlah pujian bagi TUHAN, beritakanlah segala karya-Nya yang menakjubkan.
10 Praise ye his holy name: let the heart I of them rejoice, that seek the Lord.
Dialah TUHAN Yang Mahaesa; bersukacitalah, sebab kita milik-Nya; semua yang menyembah Dia hendaklah bergembira.
11 Seek ye the Lord, and his power: seek ye his face evermore.
Mintalah kekuatan daripada-Nya, sembahlah Dia senantiasa.
12 Remember his wonderful works, which he hath done: his signs, and the judgments of his mouth.
Hai keturunan Yakub, hamba Allah! Hai keturunan Israel, umat pilihan-Nya! Ingatlah semua keajaiban yang dilakukan-Nya, jangan melupakan keputusan-keputusan-Nya.
13 O ye seed of Israel his servants, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
14 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
TUHAN adalah Allah kita, keputusan-Nya berlaku di seluruh dunia.
15 Remember for ever his covenant: the word, which he commanded to a thousand generations.
Ia selalu ingat akan perjanjian-Nya, janji-Nya berlaku selama-lamanya.
16 The covenant which he made with Abraham: and his oath to Isaac.
Perjanjian itu dibuat-Nya dengan Abraham, dan kemudian dengan Ishak,
17 And he appointed the same to Jacob for a precept: and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
lalu dikukuhkan dengan Yakub menjadi perjanjian yang kekal bagi umat Israel.
18 Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan: the lot of your inheritance.
Kata-Nya, "Tanah Kanaan akan Kuberikan kepadamu menjadi milik pusakamu."
19 When they were but a small number: very few and sojourners in it.
Dahulu umat TUHAN hidup sebagai orang asing di sana jumlah mereka sedikit saja.
20 And they passed from nation to nation: and from a kingdom to another people.
Mereka mengembara dari bangsa ke bangsa, pindah dari satu negeri ke negeri lainnya.
21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: and reproved kings for their sake.
Tetapi TUHAN tidak membiarkan siapa pun menindas mereka; demi mereka, raja-raja diperingatkan-Nya,
22 Touch not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.
"Jangan mengganggu orang-orang pilihan-Ku, jangan berbuat jahat kepada nabi-nabi-Ku."
23 Sing ye to the Lord, all the earth: shew forth from day to day his salvation.
Nyanyilah bagi TUHAN, hai bumi seluruhnya, setiap hari siarkanlah kabar gembira bahwa Ia telah menyelamatkan kita.
24 Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.
Ceritakan keagungan-Nya kepada bangsa-bangsa, dan perbuatan-perbuatan-Nya yang perkasa kepada umat manusia.
25 For the Lord is great and exceedingly to be praised: and he is to be feared above all gods.
Sebab besarlah TUHAN dan sangat terpuji; Ia harus ditakuti lebih dari segala dewa.
26 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.
Dewa-dewa bangsa lain hanya patung berhala tetapi TUHAN adalah pencipta angkasa raya.
27 Praise and magnificence are before him: strength and joy in his place.
Ia diliputi keagungan dan kemuliaan, rumah-Nya penuh kuasa dan sukacita.
28 Bring ye to the Lord, O ye families of the nations: bring ye to the Lord glory and empire.
Pujilah TUHAN, hai umat manusia! Pujilah keagungan dan kekuatan-Nya.
29 Give to the Lord glory to his name, bring up sacrifice, and come ye in his sight: and adore the Lord in holy becomingness.
Pujilah nama-Nya yang mulia, dan bawalah kurban ke dalam rumah-Nya. Sembahlah TUHAN dengan mengenakan pakaian ibadat!
30 Let all the earth be moved at his presence: for he hath founded the world immoveable.
Gemetarlah di hadapan-Nya, hai seluruh dunia! Bumi kukuh tidak tergoyahkan.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth be glad: and let them say among the nations: The Lord hath reigned.
Hai langit dan bumi, bergembiralah! Beritakanlah kepada bangsa-bangsa bahwa TUHAN itu Raja!
32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all things that are in them.
Bergemuruhlah hai laut dan semua isinya! Bersukacitalah hai padang dan segala tanamannya!
33 Then shall the trees of the wood give praise before the Lord: because he is come to judge the earth.
Pohon-pohon di hutan akan bersorak-sorai sebab TUHAN telah datang untuk memerintah di bumi.
34 Give ye glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik; kasih-Nya kekal abadi.
35 And say ye: Save us, O God our saviour: and gather us together, and deliver us from the nations, that we may give glory to thy holy name, and may rejoice in singing thy praises.
Katakanlah, "Ya Allah, Penyelamat kami, selamatkanlah kami dari kekuasaan bangsa-bangsa dan kumpulkanlah kami kembali supaya kami dapat bersyukur dan memuji nama-Mu yang suci!"
36 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity: and let all the people say Amen, and a hymn to God.
Pujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, sekarang dan selama-lamanya! Kemudian seluruh umat Israel berkata, "Amin", lalu mereka memuji TUHAN.
37 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, Asaph and his brethren to minister in the presence of the ark continually day by day, and in their courses.
Kemudian Raja Daud menugaskan Asaf dan orang-orang Lewi lainnya untuk tetap mengurus hal-hal yang bersangkutan dengan ibadat di tempat di mana Peti Perjanjian TUHAN disimpan. Setiap hari mereka harus bertugas di situ,
38 And Obededom, with his brethren sixty-eight: and Obededom the son of Idithun, and Hosa he appointed to be porters.
dibantu oleh Obed-Edom anak Yedutun, serta 68 orang lainnya yang sekaum dengan dia. Obed-Edom dan Hosa adalah pengawal pintu-pintu gerbang.
39 And Sadoc the priest, and his brethren priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place, which was in Gabaon.
Tetapi Zadok dan imam-imam lainnya ditugaskan untuk tetap mengurus ibadat di tempat ibadat di Gibeon.
40 That they should offer holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of holocausts continually, morning and evening, according to all that is written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded Israel.
Setiap pagi dan petang mereka harus mempersembahkan kurban bakaran di atas mezbah sesuai dengan hukum-hukum yang diberikan TUHAN kepada orang Israel.
41 And after him Heman, and Idithun, and the rest that were chosen, every one by his name to give praise to the Lord: because his mercy endureth for ever.
Imam Zadok dan imam-imam itu dibantu oleh Heman dan Yedutun serta orang-orang lain yang khusus dipilih untuk menyanyikan pujian bagi TUHAN karena kasih-Nya yang kekal abadi.
42 And Heman and Idithun sounded the trumpet, and played on the cymbals, and all kinds of musical instruments to sing praises to God: and the sons of Idithun he made porters.
Heman dan Yedutun juga bertugas atas trompet, simbal dan alat musik lainnya yang dimainkan untuk mengiringi nyanyian-nyanyian pujian. Anggota-anggota kaum Yedutun ditugaskan untuk menjaga pintu-pintu gerbang.
43 And all the people returned to their houses: and David to bless also his own house.
Kemudian pulanglah semua orang ke rumahnya masing-masing. Begitu pula Daud pulang untuk menengok keluarganya.
