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.
| וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת־אֲרוֹן הֽ͏ָאֱלֹהִים וַיַּצִּיגוּ אֹתוֹ בְּתוֹךְ הָאֹהֶל אֲשֶׁר נָֽטָה־לוֹ דָּוִיד וַיַּקְרִיבוּ עֹלוֹת וּשְׁלָמִים לִפְנֵי 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.
| וַיְכַל דָּוִיד מֵהַעֲלוֹת הָעֹלָה וְהַשְּׁלָמִים וַיְבָרֶךְ אֶת־הָעָם בְּשֵׁם 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.
| וַיְחַלֵּק לְכָל־אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאִישׁ וְעַד־אִשָּׁה לְאִישׁ כִּכַּר־לֶחֶם וְאֶשְׁפָּר 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:
| וַיִּתֵּן לִפְנֵי אֲרוֹן יְהוָה מִן־הַלְוִיִּם מְשָׁרְתִים וּלְהַזְכִּיר וּלְהוֹדוֹת וּלְהַלֵּל לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
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;
| 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 David first ordained to give thanks to Jehovah, by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
| בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא אָז נָתַן דָּוִיד בָּרֹאשׁ לְהֹדוֹת לַיהוָה בְּיַד־אָסָף וְאֶחָֽיו׃ |
8 Oh give thanks to Jehovah. Call on his name. Make his deeds known among the peoples.
| הוֹדוּ לַֽיהוָה קִרְאוּ בִשְׁמוֹ הוֹדִיעוּ בָעַמִּים עֲלִילֹתָֽיו׃ |
9 Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
| שִׁירוּ לוֹ זַמְּרוּ־לוֹ שִׂיחוּ בְּכָל־נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃ |
10 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Jehovah rejoice.
| הִֽתְהֽ͏ַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁם קָדְשׁוֹ יִשְׂמַח לֵב מְבַקְשֵׁי יְהוָֽה׃ |
11 Seek Jehovah and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
| דִּרְשׁוּ יְהוָה וְעֻזּוֹ בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָיו תָּמִֽיד׃ |
12 Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
| זִכְרוּ נִפְלְאֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה מֹפְתָיו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיהוּ׃ |
13 you offspring of Israel his servant, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.
| זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל עַבְדּוֹ בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב בְּחִירָֽיו׃ |
14 He is Jehovah our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
| הוּא יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃ |
15 Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
| זִכְרוּ לְעוֹלָם בְּרִיתוֹ דָּבָר צִוָּה לְאֶלֶף דּֽוֹר׃ |
16 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
| אֲשֶׁר כָּרַת אֶת־אַבְרָהָם וּשְׁבוּעָתוֹ לְיִצְחָֽק׃ |
17 He confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
| וַיַּעֲמִידֶהָ לְיַעֲקֹב לְחֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּרִית עוֹלָֽם׃ |
18 saying, "I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,"
| לֵאמֹר לְךָ אֶתֵּן אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָעַן חֶבֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃ |
19 when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners were in it.
| בִּֽהְיֽוֹתְכֶם מְתֵי מִסְפָּר כִּמְעַט וְגָרִים בָּֽהּ׃ |
20 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
| וַיִּֽתְהַלְּכוּ מִגּוֹי אֶל־גּוֹי וּמִמַּמְלָכָה אֶל־עַם אַחֵֽר׃ |
21 He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
| לֹא־הִנִּיחַ לְאִישׁ לְעָשְׁקָם וַיּוֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶם מְלָכִֽים׃ |
22 "Do not touch my anointed ones. Do my prophets no harm."
| אַֽל־תִּגְּעוּ בִּמְשִׁיחָי וּבִנְבִיאַי אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ׃ |
23 Sing to Jehovah, all the earth. Display his salvation from day to day.
| שִׁירוּ לַֽיהוָה כָּל־הָאָרֶץ בַּשְּׂרוּ מִיּֽוֹם־אֶל־יוֹם יְשׁוּעָתֽוֹ׃ |
24 Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.
| סַפְּרוּ בַגּוֹיִם אֶת־כְּבוֹדוֹ בְּכָל־הָעַמִּים נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃ |
25 For great is Jehovah, and greatly 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 idols, but Jehovah made the heavens.
| כִּי כָּל־אֱלֹהֵי הָעַמִּים אֱלִילִים וַיהוָה שָׁמַיִם עָשָֽׂה׃ |
27 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
| הוֹד וְהָדָר לְפָנָיו עֹז וְחֶדְוָה בִּמְקֹמֽוֹ׃ |
28 Ascribe to Jehovah, you relatives of the peoples, ascribe to Jehovah glory and strength.
| הָבוּ לַֽיהוָה מִשְׁפְּחוֹת עַמִּים הָבוּ לַיהוָה כָּבוֹד וָעֹֽז׃ |
29 Ascribe to Jehovah the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship Jehovah in holy array.
| 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 can't be moved.
| חִילוּ מִלְּפָנָיו כָּל־הָאָרֶץ אַף־תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל־תִּמּֽוֹט׃ |
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let them say among the nations, "Jehovah reigns."
| יִשְׂמְחוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וְתָגֵל הָאָרֶץ וְיֹאמְרוּ בַגּוֹיִם יְהוָה מָלָֽךְ׃ |
32 Let the sea roar, and its fullness. Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
| יִרְעַם הַיָּם וּמְלוֹאוֹ יַעֲלֹץ הַשָּׂדֶה וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־בּֽוֹ׃ |
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Jehovah, for he comes to judge the earth.
| אָז יְרַנְּנוּ עֲצֵי הַיָּעַר מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה כִּי־בָא לִשְׁפּוֹט אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
34 Oh give thanks to Jehovah, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
| הוֹדוּ לַיהוָה כִּי טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ |
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."
| וְאִמְרוּ הוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֵנוּ וְקַבְּצֵנוּ וְהַצִּילֵנוּ מִן־הַגּוֹיִם לְהֹדוֹת לְשֵׁם קָדְשֶׁךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּחַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃ |
36 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. And all the people said, "Amen," and praised Jehovah.
| 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 Jehovah, Asaph and his brothers, 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 brothers, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
| וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם וַאֲחֵיהֶם שִׁשִּׁים וּשְׁמוֹנָה וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם בֶּן־יְדִיתוּן וְחֹסָה לְשֹׁעֲרִֽים׃ |
39 and Zadok the priest, and his brothers the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon,
| וְאֵת ׀ צָדוֹק הַכֹּהֵן וְאֶחָיו הַכֹּהֲנִים לִפְנֵי מִשְׁכַּן יְהוָה בַּבָּמָה אֲשֶׁר בְּגִבְעֽוֹן׃ |
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;
| 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 who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, because his loving kindness endures forever;
| וְעִמָּהֶם הֵימָן וִֽידוּתוּן וּשְׁאָר הַבְּרוּרִים אֲשֶׁר נִקְּבוּ בְּשֵׁמוֹת לְהֹדוֹת לַֽיהוָה כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ |
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.
| וְעִמָּהֶם הֵימָן וִֽידוּתוּן חֲצֹצְרוֹת וּמְצִלְתַּיִם לְמַשְׁמִיעִים וּכְלֵי שִׁיר הָאֱלֹהִים וּבְנֵי יְדוּתוּן לַשָּֽׁעַר׃ |
43 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׃ |
