1 Chronicles 16
1 They brought the Sacred Chest [to Gibeon] and put it inside the Sacred Tent that David had [told his workers to] set up. Then they brought offerings to be completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to enable them to maintain fellowship [with God].
Così portarono l'Arca di Dio, e la posarono in mezzo del padiglione che Davide le avea teso; poi offersero olocausti, e sacrificii da render grazie, davanti a Dio.
2 When David had finished presenting all those offerings, he [asked Yahweh to] bless the people.
E quando Davide ebbe finito di offerir gli olocausti, e i sacrificii da render grazie, benedisse il popolo nel Nome del Signore.
3 He gave a loaf of bread, some dates, and some raisins to every Israeli man and woman [who was there].
E spartì a tutti gl'Israeliti, così agli uomini, come alle donne, una focaccia di pane, ed un pezzo di carne, ed un fiasco [di vino] per uno.
4 Then David appointed some of the descendants of Levi to stand in front of [the Sacred Tent in which] the Sacred Chest [had been placed], to lead the people who worshiped and thanked and praised Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people.
Ed ordinò d'infra i Leviti, [alcuni] ministri per rammemorare, e per celebrare, e per lodare il Signore Iddio d'Israele, davanti all'Arca del Signore;
5 Asaph, who played the cymbals, was their leader. Zechariah was his assistant. The other descendants of Levi [who helped Asaph] were Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel. They played lyres and harps.
Asaf [era] il capo, e Zaccaria il secondo dopo lui; [poi erano] Ieiel, e Semiramot, e Iehiel, e Mattitia, ed Eliab, e Benaia, ed Obed-Edom. Or Ieiel sonava con salteri e con cetere; ed Asaf con cembali.
6 Benaiah and Jahaziel were priests who blew trumpets frequently in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the Sacred Chest.
E Benaia, e Iahaziel, sacerdoti, [sonavano] del continuo con trombe, davanti all'Arca del Patto di Dio.
7 On that day, David gave to Asaph and his helpers this psalm to praise Yahweh:
ALLORA, in quello stesso giorno, Davide diede primieramente[questo salmo] in mano ad Asaf, ed a' suoi fratelli, per celebrare il Signore:
8 Thank God, and pray to him [MTY]. Tell the people of all nations what he has done.
Celebrate il Signore, predicate il suo Nome, E fate chiari e conti i suoi fatti fra i popoli.
9 Sing to him; sing songs to praise him. Tell about all his miraculous deeds.
Cantate a lui, salmeggiategli, Ragionate di tutte le sue maraviglie.
10 Be glad that you belong to him [MTY]; those who want to know Yahweh better should rejoice.
Gloriatevi nel Nome della sua santità; Rallegrisi il cuor di coloro che cercano il Signore.
11 Trust in Yahweh and in his power; continually seek to get help from him.
Cercate il Signore, e la sua forza; Ricercate del continuo la sua faccia.
12 Do not forget the wonderful things that he has done, the miracles and the just laws that he has given to us.
Ricordate le sue maraviglie ch'egli ha fatte; I suoi miracoli, e i giudicii della sua bocca;
13 We people are the descendants of his servant Jacob; we are the people of Israel whom he has chosen.
O progenie d'Israele, suo servitore; Figliuoli di Giacobbe, suoi eletti.
14 Yahweh is our God. His just/fair laws are known by people throughout the world.
Egli [è] il Signore Iddio nostro; I suoi giudicii [sono] per tutta la terra.
15 He never forgets the agreement that he has made: he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations.
Ricordatevi in perpetuo del suo patto, [E] in mille generazioni della parola [ch]'egli ha comandata;
16 That is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement to Isaac.
[Del suo patto], ch'egli fece con Abrahamo, E del suo giuramento [ch'egli diede] ad Isacco.
17 It was an agreement for the Israeli people, and he wanted that agreement to endure forever.
Il quale egli confermò a Giacobbe, per istatuto; E ad Israele, [per] patto eterno;
18 What he said was, “I will give the Canaan region to you, to belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
Dicendo: Io ti darò il paese di Canaan, [Per] sorte della vostra eredità;
19 [He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land (like strangers/that belonged to other people);
Quantunque voi siate in piccol numero, Ben poca gente, e forestieri in esso.
20 they continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
E [mentre] essi andavano qua e là da una gente ad un'[altra], E da un regno ad un altro popolo;
21 But he did not allow others to oppress them, and he warned kings by saying to them,
Non permise che alcuno li oppressasse, Anzi castigò dei re per amor loro,
22 “Do not harm the people whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
[Dicendo]: Non toccate i miei Unti, E non fate male a' miei profeti.
23 You people throughout the world, sing to Yahweh. Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved us.
Cantate al Signore, [o abitanti di] tutta la terra, Predicate tuttodì la sua salute.
24 Tell the people of the nations that he is great; tell all the people-groups the marvelous things [that he has done].
Raccontate la sua gloria fra le genti, Le sue maraviglie fra tutti i popoli.
25 Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much. He should be revered more than all the gods,
Perciocchè il Signore [è] grande, e degno di gran laude; Ed è tremendo sopra tutti gl'iddii.
26 because all the gods that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only idols, but Yahweh [is truly great; he] created the skies.
Perciocchè tutti gl'iddii de' popoli [sono] idoli; Ma il Signore ha fatti i cieli.
27 He is glorious and majestic; his power and joy fill his Sacred Tent.
Maestà e magnificenza [sono] davanti a lui; Forza e letizia [sono] nel luogo dove egli abita.
28 You people in nations all over the world, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
O [voi], nazioni de' popoli, rendete al Signore, Rendete al Signore gloria e potenza;
29 Praise Yahweh like he [MTY] deserves to be praised. Bring an offering and come to his Sacred Tent. Worship Yahweh because he is holy.
Rendete al Signore la gloria [dovuta] al suo Nome; Recate offerte, e venite davanti a lui; Adorate il Signore nel magnifico santuario.
30 Everyone on the earth should tremble in front of Yahweh. He put the earth firmly [in its place]; and nothing ever will be able to move/shake it.
Tremate, [o abitanti di] tutta la terra, per la sua presenza; Certo il mondo sarà stabilito, senza potere esser [più] smosso.
31 Everything in the sky and on the earth should be happy. People [everywhere] should say, “Yahweh is our king!”
Rallegrinsi i cieli, e festeggi la terra, E dicasi fra le genti: Il Signore regna.
32 The oceans and all the creatures that are in the oceans should shout to praise him; the fields and everything that is in them should rejoice.
Risuoni il mare, e quello che in esso si contiene; Festeggino le campagne, e tutto quello ch'[è] in esse.
33 When they do that, [it will be as though] the trees in the forest will sing joyfully in front of Yahweh. That will happen when he comes to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth.
Allora gli alberi delle selve sclameranno di allegrezza, Per la presenza del Signore; Perciocchè egli viene per giudicar la terra.
34 Thank Yahweh, because [everything that he does is] good. He faithfully loves us forever.
Celebrate il Signore; perciocchè [egli è] buono; Perciocchè la sua benignità [è] in eterno.
35 Say to him, “God, you are the one who rescues us, so gather us together and save us from [the armies of] other nations. When you do that, we will thank you [MTY], and we will be happy to praise you.”
E dite: Salvaci, o Dio della nostra salute, Raccoglici, e riscuotici dalle nazioni; Acciocchè celebriamo il Nome della tua santità, [E] ci gloriamo nella tua laude.
36 Praise Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people, He has always existed, and he will exist forever. After the people [finished singing that song], they all said, “(Amen/May it be so)!”, and they praised Yahweh.
Benedetto [sia] il Signore Iddio d'Israele da un secolo all'altro. E tutto il popolo disse: Amen; e lodò il Signore.
37 Then David left Asaph and the other members of his clan there in front of [the tent in which] Yahweh’s Sacred Chest [had been placed]. He told them that they must do their work there every day.
DAVIDE adunque lasciò quivi, davanti all'Arca del Patto del Signore, Asaf e i suoi fratelli, per ministrar del continuo davanti all'Arca, giorno per giorno del continuo.
38 David also left Obed-Edom and 68 other descendants of Levi to work with them. Hosah and Obed-Edom guarded [the entrances of the Sacred Tent].
[Lasciò] ancora Obed-Edom, figliuolo di Iedutun, ed Hosa, co' lor fratelli, [in numero di] sessantotto.
39 David also told Zadok the [Supreme] Priest and the other priests who worked with him to remain in front of Yahweh’s Sacred Tent, which was still at the place where the Israeli people worshiped [God there] in Gibeon [city].
[Lasciò] eziandio il sacerdote Sadoc, co' sacerdoti suoi fratelli, davanti al Tabernacolo del Signore, nell'alto luogo ch' [era] in Gabaon;
40 Every morning and every evening they burned offerings on the altar, obeying the rules/laws that had been written [by Moses], rules/laws which Yahweh had given to the Israeli people.
per offerir del continuo, sera e mattina, olocausti al Signore sopra l'Altare degli olocausti; e per [far] tutto quello che è scritto nella Legge del Signore, la quale egli ha data ad Israele.
41 With them were Heman and Jeduthun and other descendants of Levi. They [MTY] were chosen to sing songs to praise Yahweh because he faithfully loves his people forever.
E con loro, [erano] Heman, e Iedutun, e gli altri ch'erano stati eletti, e nominatamente ordinati per celebrare il Signore perciocchè la sua benignità [è] in eterno;
42 Heman and Jeduthun were appointed to play the trumpets and cymbals when [the other descendants of Levi sang sacred songs]. The sons of Jeduthun were appointed to guard the gates [of the Sacred Tent].
[erano, dico], con loro Heman, e Iedutun, [con] trombe, e [con] cembali, per li sonatori, e [con altri] strumenti della musica di Dio. E i figliuoli di Iedutun aveano la cura della porta.
43 Then all the people left. They returned to their homes, and David returned home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family.
Poi tutto il popolo se ne andò, ciascuno a casa sua. E Davide se ne ritornò per benedire la casa sua.
