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.
| וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת־אֲרוֹן הֽ͏ָאֱלֹהִים וַיַּצִּיגוּ אֹתוֹ בְּתוֹךְ הָאֹהֶל אֲשֶׁר נָֽטָה־לוֹ דָּוִיד וַיַּקְרִיבוּ עֹלוֹת וּשְׁלָמִים לִפְנֵי הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
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.
| וַיְכַל דָּוִיד מֵהַעֲלוֹת הָעֹלָה וְהַשְּׁלָמִים וַיְבָרֶךְ אֶת־הָעָם בְּשֵׁם יְהוָֽה׃ |
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.
| וַיְחַלֵּק לְכָל־אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאִישׁ וְעַד־אִשָּׁה לְאִישׁ כִּכַּר־לֶחֶם וְאֶשְׁפָּר וַאֲשִׁישָֽׁה׃ |
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:
| וַיִּתֵּן לִפְנֵי אֲרוֹן יְהוָה מִן־הַלְוִיִּם מְשָׁרְתִים וּלְהַזְכִּיר וּלְהוֹדוֹת וּלְהַלֵּל לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
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;
| אָסָף הָרֹאשׁ וּמִשְׁנֵהוּ זְכַרְיָה יְעִיאֵל וּשְׁמִֽירָמוֹת וִֽיחִיאֵל וּמַתִּתְיָה וֶאֱלִיאָב וּבְנָיָהוּ וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם וֽ͏ִיעִיאֵל בִּכְלֵי נְבָלִים וּבְכִנֹּרוֹת וְאָסָף בַּֽמְצִלְתַּיִם מַשְׁמִֽיעַ׃ |
6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
| וּבְנָיָהוּ וְיַחֲזִיאֵל הַכֹּהֲנִים בַּחֲצֹצְרוֹת תָּמִיד לִפְנֵי אֲרוֹן בְּרִית־הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
7 Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto the LORD, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
| בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא אָז נָתַן דָּוִיד בָּרֹאשׁ לְהֹדוֹת לַיהוָה בְּיַד־אָסָף וְאֶחָֽיו׃ |
8 O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.
| הוֹדוּ לַֽיהוָה קִרְאוּ בִשְׁמוֹ הוֹדִיעוּ בָעַמִּים עֲלִילֹתָֽיו׃ |
9 Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works.
| שִׁירוּ לוֹ זַמְּרוּ־לוֹ שִׂיחוּ בְּכָל־נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃ |
10 Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
| הִֽתְהֽ͏ַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁם קָדְשׁוֹ יִשְׂמַח לֵב מְבַקְשֵׁי יְהוָֽה׃ |
11 Seek ye the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually.
| דִּרְשׁוּ יְהוָה וְעֻזּוֹ בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָיו תָּמִֽיד׃ |
12 Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;
| זִכְרוּ נִפְלְאֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה מֹפְתָיו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיהוּ׃ |
13 O ye seed of Israel His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
| זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל עַבְדּוֹ בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב בְּחִירָֽיו׃ |
14 He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
| הוּא יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃ |
15 Remember His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations;
| זִכְרוּ לְעוֹלָם בְּרִיתוֹ דָּבָר צִוָּה לְאֶלֶף דּֽוֹר׃ |
16 The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac;
| אֲשֶׁר כָּרַת אֶת־אַבְרָהָם וּשְׁבוּעָתוֹ לְיִצְחָֽק׃ |
17 And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
| וַיַּעֲמִידֶהָ לְיַעֲקֹב לְחֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּרִית עוֹלָֽם׃ |
18 Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.'
| לֵאמֹר לְךָ אֶתֵּן אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָעַן חֶבֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃ |
19 When ye were but a few men in number, yea, very few, and sojourners in it,
| בִּֽהְיֽוֹתְכֶם מְתֵי מִסְפָּר כִּמְעַט וְגָרִים בָּֽהּ׃ |
20 And when they went about from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people,
| וַיִּֽתְהַלְּכוּ מִגּוֹי אֶל־גּוֹי וּמִמַּמְלָכָה אֶל־עַם אַחֵֽר׃ |
21 He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings:
| לֹא־הִנִּיחַ לְאִישׁ לְעָשְׁקָם וַיּוֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶם מְלָכִֽים׃ |
22 'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.'
| אַֽל־תִּגְּעוּ בִּמְשִׁיחָי וּבִנְבִיאַי אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ׃ |
23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; proclaim His salvation from day to day.
| שִׁירוּ לַֽיהוָה כָּל־הָאָרֶץ בַּשְּׂרוּ מִיּֽוֹם־אֶל־יוֹם יְשׁוּעָתֽוֹ׃ |
24 Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.
| סַפְּרוּ בַגּוֹיִם אֶת־כְּבוֹדוֹ בְּכָל־הָעַמִּים נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃ |
25 For great is the LORD, and highly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods.
| כִּי גָדוֹל יְהוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד וְנוֹרָא הוּא עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
26 For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; but the LORD made the heavens.
| כִּי כָּל־אֱלֹהֵי הָעַמִּים אֱלִילִים וַיהוָה שָׁמַיִם עָשָֽׂה׃ |
27 Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and gladness are in His place.
| הוֹד וְהָדָר לְפָנָיו עֹז וְחֶדְוָה בִּמְקֹמֽוֹ׃ |
28 Ascribe unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength.
| הָבוּ לַֽיהוָה מִשְׁפְּחוֹת עַמִּים הָבוּ לַיהוָה כָּבוֹד וָעֹֽז׃ |
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.
| הָבוּ לַיהוָה כְּבוֹד שְׁמוֹ שְׂאוּ מִנְחָה וּבֹאוּ לְפָנָיו הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַיהוָה בְּהַדְרַת־קֹֽדֶשׁ׃ |
30 Tremble before Him, all the earth; the world also is established that it cannot be moved.
| חִילוּ מִלְּפָנָיו כָּל־הָאָרֶץ אַף־תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל־תִּמּֽוֹט׃ |
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; and let them say among the nations: 'The LORD reigneth.'
| יִשְׂמְחוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וְתָגֵל הָאָרֶץ וְיֹאמְרוּ בַגּוֹיִם יְהוָה מָלָֽךְ׃ |
32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; let the field exult, and all that is therein;
| יִרְעַם הַיָּם וּמְלוֹאוֹ יַעֲלֹץ הַשָּׂדֶה וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־בּֽוֹ׃ |
33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy, before the LORD, for He is come to judge the earth.
| אָז יְרַנְּנוּ עֲצֵי הַיָּעַר מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה כִּי־בָא לִשְׁפּוֹט אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.
| הוֹדוּ לַיהוָה כִּי טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ |
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.'
| וְאִמְרוּ הוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֵנוּ וְקַבְּצֵנוּ וְהַצִּילֵנוּ מִן־הַגּוֹיִם לְהֹדוֹת לְשֵׁם קָדְשֶׁךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּחַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃ |
36 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. And all the people said: 'Amen,' and praised the LORD.
| בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן־הָעוֹלָם וְעַד הָעֹלָם וַיֹּאמְרוּ כָל־הָעָם אָמֵן וְהַלֵּל לַֽיהוָֽה׃ |
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;
| וַיַּֽעֲזָב־שָׁם לִפְנֵי אֲרוֹן בְּרִית־יְהוָה לְאָסָף וּלְאֶחָיו לְשָׁרֵת לִפְנֵי הָאָרוֹן תָּמִיד לִדְבַר־יוֹם בְּיוֹמֽוֹ׃ |
38 and Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jedithun and Hosah to be door-keepers;
| וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם וַאֲחֵיהֶם שִׁשִּׁים וּשְׁמוֹנָה וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם בֶּן־יְדִיתוּן וְחֹסָה לְשֹׁעֲרִֽים׃ |
39 and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,
| וְאֵת ׀ צָדוֹק הַכֹּהֵן וְאֶחָיו הַכֹּהֲנִים לִפְנֵי מִשְׁכַּן יְהוָה בַּבָּמָה אֲשֶׁר בְּגִבְעֽוֹן׃ |
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;
| לֽ͏ְהַעֲלוֹת עֹלוֹת לַיהוָה עַל־מִזְבַּח הָעֹלָה תָּמִיד לַבֹּקֶר וְלָעָרֶב וּלְכָל־הַכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרַת יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
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;
| וְעִמָּהֶם הֵימָן וִֽידוּתוּן וּשְׁאָר הַבְּרוּרִים אֲשֶׁר נִקְּבוּ בְּשֵׁמוֹת לְהֹדוֹת לַֽיהוָה כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ |
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.
| וְעִמָּהֶם הֵימָן וִֽידוּתוּן חֲצֹצְרוֹת וּמְצִלְתַּיִם לְמַשְׁמִיעִים וּכְלֵי שִׁיר הָאֱלֹהִים וּבְנֵי יְדוּתוּן לַשָּֽׁעַר׃ |
43 And all the people departed every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
| וַיֵּלְכוּ כָל־הָעָם אִישׁ לְבֵיתוֹ וַיִּסֹּב דָּוִיד לְבָרֵךְ אֶת־בֵּיתֽוֹ׃ |
