< 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].
Así trajeron el arca de Dios: y asentáronla en medio de la tienda, que David había tendido para ella; y ofrecieron holocaustos y pacíficos delante de Dios.
2 When David had finished presenting all those offerings, he [asked Yahweh to] bless the people.
Y como David hubo acabado de ofrecer los holocaustos y los pacíficos, bendijo al pueblo en el nombre de Jehová.
3 He gave a loaf of bread, some dates, and some raisins to every Israeli man and woman [who was there].
Y repartió a todo Israel, así hombres como mujeres, a cada uno una torta de pan, y una pieza de carne, y un frasco de vino.
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.
Y puso delante del arca de Jehová ministros de los Levitas que contasen, y glorificasen, y loasen a Jehová Dios de Israel.
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 el primero: el segundo después de él Zacarías, Jeiel, Semiramot, Jahiel, Matatías, Eliab, Banaías, Obed-edom, y Jehiel, con sus instrumentos de salterios y arpas; y Asaf resonaba con címbalos;
6 Benaiah and Jahaziel were priests who blew trumpets frequently in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the Sacred Chest.
Y Banaías y Jahiel, sacerdotes, continuamente con trompetas delante del arca del concierto de Dios.
7 On that day, David gave to Asaph and his helpers this psalm to praise Yahweh:
Entonces en aquel día dio David principio a glorificar, con sus salmos, a Jehová por mano de Asaf, y de sus hermanos:
8 Thank God, and pray to him [MTY]. Tell the people of all nations what he has done.
Alabád a Jehová, invocád su nombre, hacéd notorias en los pueblos sus obras.
9 Sing to him; sing songs to praise him. Tell about all his miraculous deeds.
Cantád a él, salmeád a él, hablád de todas sus maravillas.
10 Be glad that you belong to him [MTY]; those who want to know Yahweh better should rejoice.
Gloriáos en su santo nombre, alégrese el corazón de los que buscan a Jehová.
11 Trust in Yahweh and in his power; continually seek to get help from him.
Buscád a Jehová y a su fortaleza: buscád su rostro continuamente.
12 Do not forget the wonderful things that he has done, the miracles and the just laws that he has given to us.
Hacéd memoria de sus maravillas, que ha hecho, de sus prodigios, y de los juicios de su boca;
13 We people are the descendants of his servant Jacob; we are the people of Israel whom he has chosen.
Simiente de Israel su siervo, hijos de Jacob sus escogidos.
14 Yahweh is our God. His just/fair laws are known by people throughout the world.
Jehová, él es nuestro Dios; sus juicios en toda la tierra.
15 He never forgets the agreement that he has made: he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations.
Hacéd memoria de su alianza perpetuamente, y de la palabra que él mandó en mil generaciones.
16 That is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement to Isaac.
La cual él concertó con Abraham, y de su juramento a Isaac.
17 It was an agreement for the Israeli people, and he wanted that agreement to endure forever.
La cual él confirmó a Jacob por estatuto, y a Israel en concierto eterno,
18 What he said was, “I will give the Canaan region to you, to belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
Diciendo: A ti daré la tierra de Canaán, cuerda de vuestra herencia:
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);
Siendo vosotros pocos hombres en número, y peregrinos en ella.
20 they continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
Y anduvieron de nación en nación, y de un reino a otro pueblo.
21 But he did not allow others to oppress them, and he warned kings by saying to them,
No permitió que nadie los oprimiese: antes por amor de ellos castigó los reyes.
22 “Do not harm the people whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
No toquéis a mis ungidos, ni hagáis mal a mis profetas.
23 You people throughout the world, sing to Yahweh. Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved us.
Cantád a Jehová toda la tierra: anunciád cada día su salud.
24 Tell the people of the nations that he is great; tell all the people-groups the marvelous things [that he has done].
Contád entre las gentes su gloria, y en todos los pueblos sus maravillas.
25 Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much. He should be revered more than all the gods,
Porque grande es Jehová, y digno de ser grandemente loado, y de ser temido sobre todos los dioses.
26 because all the gods that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only idols, but Yahweh [is truly great; he] created the skies.
Porque todos los dioses de los pueblos son nada: mas Jehová hizo los cielos.
27 He is glorious and majestic; his power and joy fill his Sacred Tent.
Potencia y hermosura están delante de él: fortaleza y alegría en su morada.
28 You people in nations all over the world, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
Atribuíd a Jehová, oh familias de pueblos, atribuíd a Jehová gloria y poderío.
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.
Atribuíd a Jehová la gloria de su nombre: traéd presente, y veníd delante de él: prostráos delante de Jehová en la hermosura de su santidad.
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.
Teméd delante de su presencia toda la tierra: que el mundo está afirmando para que no se mueva.
31 Everything in the sky and on the earth should be happy. People [everywhere] should say, “Yahweh is our king!”
Los cielos se alegren, y la tierra se goce; y digan en las naciones extrañas: Jehová reina.
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.
La mar truene, y todo lo que en ella está: alégrese el campo, y todo lo que contiene.
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.
Entonces cantarán los árboles de los bosques delante de Jehová; porque viene a juzgar la tierra.
34 Thank Yahweh, because [everything that he does is] good. He faithfully loves us forever.
Confesád a Jehová, porque es bueno; porque su misericordia es eterna.
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.”
Y decíd: Sálvanos, Dios, salud nuestra: júntanos, y líbranos de las gentes, para que glorifiquemos tu santo nombre, y nos gloriemos en tu alabanza.
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.
Bendito sea Jehová Dios de Israel de eternidad a eternidad: y digan todos los pueblos: Amén, y alabanza a Jehová.
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.
Y dejó allí delante del arca del concierto de Jehová a Asaf y a sus hermanos, para que ministrasen continuamente delante del arca, cada cosa en su día.
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].
Y a Obed-edom, y a sus hermanos sesenta y ocho; y a Obed-edom, hijo de Iditún, y a Oza, por porteros:
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].
Y a Sadoc el sacerdote, y a sus hermanos los sacerdotes, delante del tabernáculo de Jehová, en el alto que estaba en Gabaón,
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.
Para que sacrificasen holocaustos a Jehová en el altar del holocausto continuamente, mañana y tarde, conforme a todo lo que está escrito en la ley de Jehová, que el mandó a Israel.
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.
Y con ellos a Hemán, y a Iditún, y los otros escogidos, declarados por sus nombres, para glorificar a Jehová: porque su misericordia es eterna.
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].
Y con ellos a Hemán, y a Iditún con trompetas y címbalos para sonar, con otros instrumentos de música de Dios: y los hijos de Iditún por porteros.
43 Then all the people left. They returned to their homes, and David returned home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family.
Y todo el pueblo se fue cada uno a su casa: y David se volvió para bendecir su casa.
