1 Chronicles 16
1 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices 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 the burnt offerings and the 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 dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.
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 certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank 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 to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound 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 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
dan dua orang imam, yaitu Benaya dan Yahaziel, ditugaskan untuk secara tetap meniup trompet di depan Peti Perjanjian itu.
7 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
Itulah pertama kalinya Daud menugaskan Asaf dan rekan-rekannya untuk menyanyikan puji-pujian kepada TUHAN.
8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, wartakanlah kebesaran-Nya, ceritakanlah perbuatan-Nya di antara bangsa-bangsa.
9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk all of you of all his wondrous works.
Nyanyikanlah pujian bagi TUHAN, beritakanlah segala karya-Nya yang menakjubkan.
10 Glory all of you in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
Dialah TUHAN Yang Mahaesa; bersukacitalah, sebab kita milik-Nya; semua yang menyembah Dia hendaklah bergembira.
11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
Mintalah kekuatan daripada-Nya, sembahlah Dia senantiasa.
12 Remember his marvellous works that he has done, his wonders, 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 all of you seed of Israel his servant, all of you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
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 Be all of you mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
Ia selalu ingat akan perjanjian-Nya, janji-Nya berlaku selama-lamanya.
16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
Perjanjian itu dibuat-Nya dengan Abraham, dan kemudian dengan Ishak,
17 And has confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
lalu dikukuhkan dengan Yakub menjadi perjanjian yang kekal bagi umat Israel.
18 Saying, Unto you will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
Kata-Nya, "Tanah Kanaan akan Kuberikan kepadamu menjadi milik pusakamu."
19 When all of you were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
Dahulu umat TUHAN hidup sebagai orang asing di sana jumlah mereka sedikit saja.
20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one 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: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Tetapi TUHAN tidak membiarkan siapa pun menindas mereka; demi mereka, raja-raja diperingatkan-Nya,
22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
"Jangan mengganggu orang-orang pilihan-Ku, jangan berbuat jahat kepada nabi-nabi-Ku."
23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; show 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 heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.
Ceritakan keagungan-Nya kepada bangsa-bangsa, dan perbuatan-perbuatan-Nya yang perkasa kepada umat manusia.
25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also 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 people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
Dewa-dewa bangsa lain hanya patung berhala tetapi TUHAN adalah pencipta angkasa raya.
27 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.
Ia diliputi keagungan dan kemuliaan, rumah-Nya penuh kuasa dan sukacita.
28 Give unto the LORD, all of you families of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
Pujilah TUHAN, hai umat manusia! Pujilah keagungan dan kekuatan-Nya.
29 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
Pujilah nama-Nya yang mulia, dan bawalah kurban ke dalam rumah-Nya. Sembahlah TUHAN dengan mengenakan pakaian ibadat!
30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
Gemetarlah di hadapan-Nya, hai seluruh dunia! Bumi kukuh tidak tergoyahkan.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigns.
Hai langit dan bumi, bergembiralah! Beritakanlah kepada bangsa-bangsa bahwa TUHAN itu Raja!
32 Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
Bergemuruhlah hai laut dan semua isinya! Bersukacitalah hai padang dan segala tanamannya!
33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he comes to judge the earth.
Pohon-pohon di hutan akan bersorak-sorai sebab TUHAN telah datang untuk memerintah di bumi.
34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endures for ever.
Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik; kasih-Nya kekal abadi.
35 And say all of you, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to your holy name, and glory in your praise.
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 God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.
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 before the ark continually, as every day's work required:
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 their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah 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 Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,
Tetapi Zadok dan imam-imam lainnya ditugaskan untuk tetap mengurus ibadat di tempat ibadat di Gibeon.
40 To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do 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 with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy endures 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 with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were 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 departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
Kemudian pulanglah semua orang ke rumahnya masing-masing. Begitu pula Daud pulang untuk menengok keluarganya.
