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].
Ipinasok nila ang kaban ng Diyos at inilagay ito sa gitna ng tolda na ipinagawa ni David para dito. Pagkatapos, naghandog sila ng mga alay na susunugin at mga handog pangkapayapaan sa harap ng Diyos.
2 When David had finished presenting all those offerings, he [asked Yahweh to] bless the people.
Nang natapos ni David ihandog ang alay na susunugin at handog pangkapayapaan, pinagpala niya ang mga tao sa pangalan ni Yahweh.
3 He gave a loaf of bread, some dates, and some raisins to every Israeli man and woman [who was there].
Nagbahagi siya sa bawat Israelita, sa mga kalalakihan at kababaihan, ng tinapay, at isang pirasong karne, at kumpol ng mga pasas.
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.
Nagtalaga si David ng ilang Levita upang maglingkod sa harapan ng kaban ni Yahweh, at upang magdiwang, magpasalamat at magpuri kay Yahweh, ang Diyos ng 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.
Ang mga Levitang ito ay sina Asaf, na pinuno, at pumapangalawa sa kaniya sina Zacarias, Jeiel, Semiramot, Jehiel, Matitias, Eliab, Benaias, Obed-edom at Jeiel. Sila ang tutugtog ng mga instrumentong may kwerdas at mga alpa. Si Asaf naman ang tutugtog sa mga pompiyang nang malakas.
6 Benaiah and Jahaziel were priests who blew trumpets frequently in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the Sacred Chest.
Ang mga paring sina Benaias at Jahaziel ang palaging iihip sa mga sungay sa harapan ng kaban ng tipan ng Diyos.
7 On that day, David gave to Asaph and his helpers this psalm to praise Yahweh:
At sa araw na iyon, unang hinirang ni David si Asaf at ang kaniyang mga kapatid upang awitin ang awit na ito ng pasasalamat kay Yahweh.
8 Thank God, and pray to him [MTY]. Tell the people of all nations what he has done.
Magpasalamat kay Yahweh, tumawag sa kaniyang pangalan at ipaalam sa lahat ng bansa ang kaniyang mga gawa.
9 Sing to him; sing songs to praise him. Tell about all his miraculous deeds.
Umawit sa kaniya, umawit ng mga papuri sa kaniya at ipagsabi ang lahat ng kaniyang kamangha-manghang mga gawa.
10 Be glad that you belong to him [MTY]; those who want to know Yahweh better should rejoice.
Magmayabang kayo sa kaniyang banal na pangalan, magalak ang puso ng mga naghahanap kay Yahweh.
11 Trust in Yahweh and in his power; continually seek to get help from him.
Hanapin si Yahweh at ang kaniyang kalakasan; patuloy na hanapin ang kaniyang presensiya.
12 Do not forget the wonderful things that he has done, the miracles and the just laws that he has given to us.
Alalahanin ang kaniyang mga kamangha-manghang ginawa, ang kaniyang mga himala at mga utos na nagmula sa kaniyang bibig,
13 We people are the descendants of his servant Jacob; we are the people of Israel whom he has chosen.
kayo na kaapu-apuhan ng Israel ang kaniyang mga lingkod, kayong mga tao ni Jacob, ang kaniyang pinili.
14 Yahweh is our God. His just/fair laws are known by people throughout the world.
Siya si Yahweh, ang ating Diyos. Ang kaniyang mga utos ay nasa buong mundo.
15 He never forgets the agreement that he has made: he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations.
Panatilihin ninyo sa inyong isipan ang kaniyang tipan magpakailanman, ang salita na kaniyang iniutos sa sanlibong salinlahi.
16 That is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement to Isaac.
Naaalala niya ang kasunduan na kaniyang ginawa kay Abraham, at ang kaniyang sinumpaan kay Isaac.
17 It was an agreement for the Israeli people, and he wanted that agreement to endure forever.
Ito ang kaniyang pinatunayan kay Jacob bilang isang kautusan, at sa Israel bilang isang walang hanggang kasunduan.
18 What he said was, “I will give the Canaan region to you, to belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
Sinabi niya, “Ibibigay ko sa iyo ang lupain ng Canaan bilang bahagi ng iyong mamanahin.”
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);
Sinabi ko ito noong kakaunti pa lamang ang inyong bilang, talagang napakaunti, at mga estranghero sa lupain.
20 they continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
Nagpunta sila mula sa isang bansa patungo sa isang bansa, mula sa isang kaharian patungo sa iba.
21 But he did not allow others to oppress them, and he warned kings by saying to them,
Hindi niya hinayaan na apihin sila ng sinuman, pinarusahan niya ang mga hari alang-alang sa kanilang kapakanan.
22 “Do not harm the people whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
Sinabi niya, “Huwag ninyong gagalawin ang aking mga pinili, at huwag ninyong sasaktan ang aking mga propeta.”
23 You people throughout the world, sing to Yahweh. Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved us.
Umawit kay Yahweh, buong mundo; ihayag araw-araw ang kaniyang pagliligtas.
24 Tell the people of the nations that he is great; tell all the people-groups the marvelous things [that he has done].
Ipahayag ang kaniyang kaluwalhatian sa mga bansa, ang kaniyang kamangha-manghang mga gawa sa lahat ng bansa.
25 Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much. He should be revered more than all the gods,
Sapagkat si Yahweh ay dakila at marapat na papurihan, at marapat siyang katakutan higit sa lahat ng ibang diyos.
26 because all the gods that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only idols, but Yahweh [is truly great; he] created the skies.
Sapagkat ang lahat ng diyos ng mga bansa ay mga diyus-diyosan, ngunit si Yahweh ang lumikha ng mga langit.
27 He is glorious and majestic; his power and joy fill his Sacred Tent.
Ang kaluwalhatian at kamaharlikaan ay nasa kaniyang presensiya. Ang kalakasan at kagalakan ay nasa kaniyang lugar.
28 You people in nations all over the world, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
Ibigay kay Yahweh ang papuri, kayong mga angkan ng mga tao, ibigay kay Yahweh ang kaluwalhatian at kalakasan.
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.
Ibigay kay Yahweh ang kaluwalhatiang nararapat sa kaniyang pangalan. Magdala ng handog at lumapit sa kaniyang harapan. Yumuko kay Yahweh sa kaniyang banal na kaluwalhatian.
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.
Manginig sa kaniyang harapan, lahat ng nasa daigdig. Ang sanlibutan ay matatag at hindi ito mayayanig.
31 Everything in the sky and on the earth should be happy. People [everywhere] should say, “Yahweh is our king!”
Matuwa ang mga langit at ang daigdig ay magalak; sasabihin nila sa lahat ng mga bansa, “maghari si Yahweh.”
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.
Dadagundong ang karagatan, at sisigaw ng may kagalakan ang mga pumupuno nito. Magagalak ang mga parang, at ang lahat ng nandito.
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.
Sisigaw ng may kagalakan sa harap ni Yahweh ang mga puno sa kagubatan, sapagkat darating siya upang hatulan ang mundo.
34 Thank Yahweh, because [everything that he does is] good. He faithfully loves us forever.
Magpasalamat kay Yahweh, sapagkat siya ay mabuti, at ang matapat niyang kasunduan ay magtatagal magpakailanman.
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.”
At sabihing, “Iligtas mo kami, Diyos ng aming kaligtasan. Tipunin mo kami ng magkakasama at iligtas mo kami mula sa ibang mga bansa, upang makapagpasalamat kami sa iyong banal na pangalan at kaluwalhatian sa iyong kapurihan.”
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.
Nawa si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel ay papurihan magpakailanman hanggang sa magpasawalang-hanggan. Sinabi ng lahat ng tao, “Amen” at pinuri si Yahweh.
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.
Kaya iniwan ni David si Asaf at ang kaniyang mga kapatid sa harapan ng kaban ng tipan ni Yahweh, upang patuloy na maglingkod sa harapan ng kaban, gaya ng kinakailangang gawin araw-araw.
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].
Kasama din si Obed- edom at ang animnapu't walong kamag-anak nito. Si Obed-edom na anak ni Jeduthun, kasama si Hosa ang magiging mga tagapagbantay ng tarangkahan.
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].
Ang paring si Zadok at ang kaniyang mga kapwa pari ay maglilingkod sa harapan ng tabernakulo ni Yahweh sa dambana na nasa Gibeon.
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.
Sila ay patuloy na maghahandog ng mga alay na susunugin para kay Yahweh sa altar para sa mga alay na susunugin umaga at gabi, bilang pagsunod sa lahat ng nasusulat sa kautusan ni Yahweh, na ibinigay niya sa Israel bilang kautusan.
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.
Kasama nila sina Heman at Jeduthun, gayon din ang mga pinili sa pangalan upang magpasalamat kay Yahweh dahil ang kaniyang matapat na kasunduan ay magtatagal magpakailanman.
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].
Sina Heman at Jeduthun ang namamahala sa mga nagpapatunog ng mga trumpeta, mga pompiyang, at ang ibang mga instrumento para sa sagradong musika. Ang mga anak ni Jeduthun ang nagbantay sa tarangkahan.
43 Then all the people left. They returned to their homes, and David returned home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family.
Pagkatapos, umuwi ang lahat ng tao sa kanilang mga tahanan, at umuwi si David upang pagpalain ang kaniyang sariling sambahayan.
