1 Chronicles 16
1 They brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had set up for it: and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
| וַיָּבִ֙יאוּ֙ אֶת־אֲרֹ֣ון הֽ͏ָאֱלֹהִ֔ים וַיַּצִּ֣יגוּ אֹתֹ֔ו בְּתֹ֣וךְ הָאֹ֔הֶל אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָֽטָה־לֹ֖ו דָּוִ֑יד וַיַּקְרִ֛יבוּ עֹלֹ֥ות וּשְׁלָמִ֖ים לִפְנֵ֥י הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
2 When David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah.
| וַיְכַ֣ל דָּוִ֔יד מֵהַעֲלֹ֥ות הָעֹלָ֖ה וְהַשְּׁלָמִ֑ים וַיְבָ֥רֶךְ אֶת־הָעָ֖ם בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָֽה׃ |
3 He dealt to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.
| וַיְחַלֵּק֙ לְכָל־אִ֣ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מֵאִ֖ישׁ וְעַד־אִשָּׁ֑ה לְאִישׁ֙ כִּכַּר־לֶ֔חֶם וְאֶשְׁפָּ֖ר וַאֲשִׁישָֽׁה׃ |
4 He appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate and to thank and praise Jehovah, the God of Israel:
| וַיִּתֵּ֞ן לִפְנֵ֨י אֲרֹ֧ון יְהוָ֛ה מִן־הַלְוִיִּ֖ם מְשָׁרְתִ֑ים וּלְהַזְכִּיר֙ וּלְהֹודֹ֣ות וּלְהַלֵּ֔ל לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ פ |
5 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;
| אָסָ֥ף הָרֹ֖אשׁ וּמִשְׁנֵ֣הוּ זְכַרְיָ֑ה יְעִיאֵ֡ל וּשְׁמִֽירָמֹ֡ות וִֽיחִיאֵ֡ל וּמַתִּתְיָ֡ה וֶאֱלִיאָ֡ב וּבְנָיָהוּ֩ וְעֹבֵ֨ד אֱדֹ֜ם וֽ͏ִיעִיאֵ֗ל בִּכְלֵ֤י נְבָלִים֙ וּבְכִנֹּרֹ֔ות וְאָסָ֖ף בַּֽמְצִלְתַּ֥יִם מַשְׁמִֽיעַ׃ |
6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
| וּבְנָיָ֥הוּ וְיַחֲזִיאֵ֖ל הַכֹּהֲנִ֑ים בַּחֲצֹצְרֹ֣ות תָּמִ֔יד לִפְנֵ֖י אֲרֹ֥ון בְּרִית־הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
7 Then on that day David first ordained to give thanks to Jehovah, by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
| בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֗וּא אָ֣ז נָתַ֤ן דָּוִיד֙ בָּרֹ֔אשׁ לְהֹדֹ֖ות לַיהוָ֑ה בְּיַד־אָסָ֖ף וְאֶחָֽיו׃ פ |
8 Oh give thanks to Jehovah. Call on his name. Make his deeds known among the peoples.
| הֹוד֤וּ לַֽיהוָה֙ קִרְא֣וּ בִשְׁמֹ֔ו הֹודִ֥יעוּ בָעַמִּ֖ים עֲלִילֹתָֽיו׃ |
9 Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
| שִׁ֤ירוּ לֹו֙ זַמְּרוּ־לֹ֔ו שִׂ֖יחוּ בְּכָל־נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃ |
10 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Jehovah rejoice.
| הִֽתְהֽ͏ַלְלוּ֙ בְּשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֹׁ֔ו יִשְׂמַ֕ח לֵ֖ב מְבַקְשֵׁ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ |
11 Seek Jehovah and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
| דִּרְשׁ֤וּ יְהוָה֙ וְעֻזֹּ֔ו בַּקְּשׁ֥וּ פָנָ֖יו תָּמִֽיד׃ |
12 Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
| זִכְר֗וּ נִפְלְאֹתָיו֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֔ה מֹפְתָ֖יו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיהוּ׃ |
13 you offspring of Israel his servant, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.
| זֶ֚רַע יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל עַבְדֹּ֔ו בְּנֵ֥י יַעֲקֹ֖ב בְּחִירָֽיו׃ |
14 He is Jehovah our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
| ה֚וּא יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֔ינוּ בְּכָל־הָאָ֖רֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃ |
15 Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
| זִכְר֤וּ לְעֹולָם֙ בְּרִיתֹ֔ו דָּבָ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה לְאֶ֥לֶף דֹּֽור׃ |
16 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
| אֲשֶׁ֤ר כָּרַת֙ אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֔ם וּשְׁבוּעָתֹ֖ו לְיִצְחָֽק׃ |
17 He confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
| וַיַּעֲמִידֶ֤הָ לְיַעֲקֹב֙ לְחֹ֔ק לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּרִ֥ית עֹולָֽם׃ |
18 saying, "I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,"
| לֵאמֹ֗ר לְךָ֙ אֶתֵּ֣ן אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָ֔עַן חֶ֖בֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃ |
19 when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners were in it.
| בִּֽהְיֹֽותְכֶם֙ מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֔ר כִּמְעַ֖ט וְגָרִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃ |
20 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
| וַיִּֽתְהַלְּכוּ֙ מִגֹּ֣וי אֶל־גֹּ֔וי וּמִמַּמְלָכָ֖ה אֶל־עַ֥ם אַחֵֽר׃ |
21 He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
| לֹא־הִנִּ֤יחַ לְאִישׁ֙ לְעָשְׁקָ֔ם וַיֹּ֥וכַח עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם מְלָכִֽים׃ |
22 "Do not touch my anointed ones. Do my prophets no harm."
| אַֽל־תִּגְּעוּ֙ בִּמְשִׁיחָ֔י וּבִנְבִיאַ֖י אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ׃ פ |
23 Sing to Jehovah, all the earth. Display his salvation from day to day.
| שִׁ֤ירוּ לַֽיהוָה֙ כָּל־הָאָ֔רֶץ בַּשְּׂר֥וּ מִיֹּֽום־אֶל־יֹ֖ום יְשׁוּעָתֹֽו׃ |
24 Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.
| סַפְּר֤וּ בַגֹּויִם֙ אֶת־כְּבֹודֹ֔ו בְּכָל־הָעַמִּ֖ים נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃ |
25 For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.
| כִּי֩ גָדֹ֨ול יְהוָ֤ה וּמְהֻלָּל֙ מְאֹ֔ד וְנֹורָ֥א ה֖וּא עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Jehovah made the heavens.
| כִּ֠י כָּל־אֱלֹהֵ֤י הָעַמִּים֙ אֱלִילִ֔ים וַיהוָ֖ה שָׁמַ֥יִם עָשָֽׂה׃ |
27 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
| הֹ֤וד וְהָדָר֙ לְפָנָ֔יו עֹ֥ז וְחֶדְוָ֖ה בִּמְקֹמֹֽו׃ |
28 Ascribe to Jehovah, you relatives of the peoples, ascribe to Jehovah glory and strength.
| הָב֤וּ לַֽיהוָה֙ מִשְׁפְּחֹ֣ות עַמִּ֔ים הָב֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה כָּבֹ֥וד וָעֹֽז׃ |
29 Ascribe to Jehovah the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship Jehovah in holy array.
| הָב֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה כְּבֹ֣וד שְׁמֹ֑ו שְׂא֤וּ מִנְחָה֙ וּבֹ֣אוּ לְפָנָ֔יו הִשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה בְּהַדְרַת־קֹֽדֶשׁ׃ |
30 Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can't be moved.
| חִ֤ילוּ מִלְּפָנָיו֙ כָּל־הָאָ֔רֶץ אַף־תִּכֹּ֥ון תֵּבֵ֖ל בַּל־תִּמֹּֽוט׃ |
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let them say among the nations, "Jehovah reigns."
| יִשְׂמְח֤וּ הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְתָגֵ֣ל הָאָ֔רֶץ וְיֹאמְר֥וּ בַגֹּויִ֖ם יְהוָ֥ה מָלָֽךְ׃ |
32 Let the sea roar, and its fullness. Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
| יִרְעַ֤ם הַיָּם֙ וּמְלֹואֹ֔ו יַעֲלֹ֥ץ הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־בֹּֽו׃ |
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Jehovah, for he comes to judge the earth.
| אָ֥ז יְרַנְּנ֖וּ עֲצֵ֣י הַיָּ֑עַר מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה כִּי־בָ֖א לִשְׁפֹּ֥וט אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
34 Oh give thanks to Jehovah, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
| הֹוד֤וּ לַיהוָה֙ כִּ֣י טֹ֔וב כִּ֥י לְעֹולָ֖ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃ |
35 Say, "Save us, God of our salvation. Gather us together and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise."
| וְאִמְר֕וּ הֹושִׁיעֵ֙נוּ֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעֵ֔נוּ וְקַבְּצֵ֥נוּ וְהַצִּילֵ֖נוּ מִן־הַגֹּויִ֑ם לְהֹדֹות֙ לְשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֶׁ֔ךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּ֖חַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃ |
36 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. And all the people said, "Amen," and praised Jehovah.
| בָּר֤וּךְ יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מִן־הָעֹולָ֖ם וְעַ֣ד הָעֹלָ֑ם וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ כָל־הָעָם֙ אָמֵ֔ן וְהַלֵּ֖ל לַֽיהוָֽה׃ פ |
37 So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Asaph and his brothers, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required;
| וַיַּֽעֲזָב־שָׁ֗ם לִפְנֵי֙ אֲרֹ֣ון בְּרִית־יְהוָ֔ה לְאָסָ֖ף וּלְאֶחָ֑יו לְשָׁרֵ֞ת לִפְנֵ֧י הָאָרֹ֛ון תָּמִ֖יד לִדְבַר־יֹ֥ום בְּיֹומֹֽו׃ |
38 and Obed-Edom with their brothers, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
| וְעֹבֵ֥ד אֱדֹ֛ם וַאֲחֵיהֶ֖ם שִׁשִּׁ֣ים וּשְׁמֹונָ֑ה וְעֹבֵ֨ד אֱדֹ֧ם בֶּן־יְדִית֛וּן וְחֹסָ֖ה לְשֹׁעֲרִֽים׃ |
39 and Zadok the priest, and his brothers the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon,
| וְאֵ֣ת ׀ צָדֹ֣וק הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְאֶחָיו֙ הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים לִפְנֵ֖י מִשְׁכַּ֣ן יְהוָ֑ה בַּבָּמָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּגִבְעֹֽון׃ |
40 to offer burnt offerings to Jehovah on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of Jehovah, which he commanded to Israel;
| לֽ͏ְהַעֲלֹות֩ עֹלֹ֨ות לַיהוָ֜ה עַל־מִזְבַּ֧ח הָעֹלָ֛ה תָּמִ֖יד לַבֹּ֣קֶר וְלָעָ֑רֶב וּלְכָל־הַכָּתוּב֙ בְּתֹורַ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, because his loving kindness endures forever;
| וְעִמָּהֶם֙ הֵימָ֣ן וִֽידוּת֔וּן וּשְׁאָר֙ הַבְּרוּרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר נִקְּב֖וּ בְּשֵׁמֹ֑ות לְהֹדֹות֙ לַֽיהוָ֔ה כִּ֥י לְעֹולָ֖ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃ |
42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.
| וְעִמָּהֶם֩ הֵימָ֨ן וִֽידוּת֜וּן חֲצֹצְרֹ֤ות וּמְצִלְתַּ֙יִם֙ לְמַשְׁמִיעִ֔ים וּכְלֵ֖י שִׁ֣יר הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וּבְנֵ֥י יְדוּת֖וּן לַשָּֽׁעַר׃ |
43 All the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
| וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ כָל־הָעָ֖ם אִ֣ישׁ לְבֵיתֹ֑ו וַיִּסֹּ֥ב דָּוִ֖יד לְבָרֵ֥ךְ אֶת־בֵּיתֹֽו׃ פ |
