1 Chronicles 16

1 And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it, and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God.

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

2 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.

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

3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a cake made in a pan, and a sweet cake.

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

4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to celebrate and to thank and praise the LORD, the God of Israel:

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

5 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 psalteries and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;

٥ 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.

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

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

7 Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto the LORD, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

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

8 O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.

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

9 Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works.

٩ غَنُّوا لَهُ؛ اشْدُوا لَهُ؛ حَدِّثُوا بِكُلِّ عَجَائِبِهِ.

10 Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

١٠ تَبَاهَوْا بِاسْمِهِ القُدُّوسِ، لِتَفْرَحْ قُلُوبُ طَالِبِي الرَّبِّ.

11 Seek ye the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually.

١١ اطْلُبُوا الرَّبَّ وَقُوَّتَهُ؛ الْتَمِسُوا وَجْهَهُ دَائِماً.

12 Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;

١٢ اذْكُرُوا عَجَائِبَهُ الَّتِي صَنَعَ، مُعْجِزَاتِهِ وَأَحْكَامَهُ الَّتِي نَطَقَ بِها

13 O ye seed of Israel His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.

١٣ يَا ذُرِّيَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَبْدِهِ، يَا بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ الَّذِينَ اخْتَارَهُمْ

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

١٤ هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُنَا، أَحْكَامُهُ تَمْلأُ الأَرْضَ كُلَّهَا

15 Remember His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations;

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

16 The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac;

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

17 And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;

١٧ ثُمَّ ثَبَّتَهُ لِيَعْقُوبَ فَرِيضَةً؛ وَلإِسْرَائِيلَ مِيثَاقاً أَبَدِيًّا

18 Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.'

١٨ قَائِلاً: لَكَ أُعْطِي أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ نَصِيبَ مِيرَاثٍ لَكُمْ

19 When ye were but a few men in number, yea, very few, and sojourners in it,

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

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

٢٠ مُتَنَقِّلِينَ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ وَمِنْ مَمْلَكَةٍ إِلَى أُخْرَى

21 He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings:

٢١ فَلَمْ يَدَعْ أَيَّ إِنْسَانٍ يَظْلِمُهُمْ بَلْ وَبَّخَ مُلُوكاً مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ

22 'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.'

٢٢ قَائِلاً: لَا تَمَسُّوا مُسَحَائِي، وَلا تُؤْذُوا أَنْبِيَائِي.

23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; proclaim His salvation from day to day.

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

24 Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.

٢٤ أَعْلِنُوا مَجْدَهُ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ؛ وَعَجَائِبَهُ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ كُلِّهَا

25 For great is the LORD, and highly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods.

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

26 For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; but the LORD made the heavens.

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

27 Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and gladness are in His place.

٢٧ الْجَلالُ وَالْبَهَاءُ أَمَامَهُ، وَالْقُوَّةُ وَالْجَمَالُ فِي مَقْدِسِهِ.

28 Ascribe unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength.

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

29 Ascribe unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come before Him; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

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

30 Tremble before Him, all the earth; the world also is established that it cannot be moved.

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

31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; and let them say among the nations: 'The LORD reigneth.'

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

32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; let the field exult, and all that is therein;

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

33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy, before the LORD, for He is come to judge the earth.

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

34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.

٣٤ احْمَدُوا الرَّبَّ لأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ وَرَحْمَتَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَدُومُ.

35 And say ye: 'Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, that we may triumph in Thy praise.'

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

36 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. And all the people said: 'Amen,' and praised the LORD.

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

37 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;

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

38 and Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jedithun and Hosah to be door-keepers;

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

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

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

40 to offer burnt-offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of burnt-offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the Law of the LORD, which He commanded unto Israel;

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

41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because His mercy endureth for ever;

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

42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.

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

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

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