1 Chronicles 16
1 They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
Attulerunt igitur arcam Dei, et constituerunt eam in medio tabernaculi, quod tetenderat ei David: et obtulerunt holocausta, et pacifica coram Deo.
2 When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the LORD’s name.
Cumque complesset David offerens holocausta, et pacifica, benedixit populo in nomine Domini.
3 He gave to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.
Et divisit universis per singulos, a viro usque ad mulierem tortam panis, et partem assæ carnis bubalæ, et frixam oleo similam.
4 He appointed some of the Levites to minister before the LORD’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel:
Constituitque coram arca Domini de Levitis, qui ministrarent, et recordarentur operum eius, et glorificarent, atque laudarent Dominum Deum Israel:
5 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;
Asaph principem, et secundum eius Zachariam: Porro Iahiel, et Semiramoth, et Iehiel, et Mathathiam, et Eliab, et Banaiam, et Obededom: Iehiel super organa psalterii, et lyras: Asaph autem ut cymbalis personaret;
6 with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with shofars continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
Banaiam vero, et Iaziel sacerdotes, canere tuba iugiter coram arca fœderis Domini.
7 Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to the LORD by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
In illo die fecit David principem ad confitendum Domino Asaph, et fratres eius.
8 Oh give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples.
Confitemini Domino, et invocate nomen eius: notas facite in populis adinventiones eius.
9 Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
Cantate ei, et psallite ei: et narrate omnia mirabilia eius.
10 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Laudate nomen sanctum eius: lætetur cor quærentium Dominum.
11 Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
Quærite Dominum, et virtutem eius: quærite faciem eius semper.
12 Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
Recordamini mirabilium eius quæ fecit: signorum illius, et iudiciorum oris eius.
13 you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
Semen Israel servi eius: filii Iacob electi eius.
14 He is the LORD our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
Ipse Dominus Deus noster: in universa terra iudicia eius.
15 Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
Recordamini in sempiternum pacti eius: sermonis, quem præcepit in mille generationes.
16 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
Quem pepigit cum Abraham: et iuramenti illius cum Isaac.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Et constituit illud Iacob in præceptum: et Israel in pactum sempiternum,
18 saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”
dicens: Tibi dabo Terram Chanaan, funiculum hereditatis vestræ.
19 when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
Cum essent pauci numero, parvi et coloni eius.
20 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
Et transierunt de gente in gentem, et de regno ad populum alterum.
21 He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Non dimisit quemquam calumniari eos, sed increpavit pro eis reges.
22 “Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
Nolite tangere Christos meos: et in prophetis meis nolite malignari.
23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.
Cantate Domino omnis terra, annunciate ex die in diem salutare eius.
24 Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.
Narrate in gentibus gloriam eius: in cunctis populis mirabilia eius.
25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.
Quia magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis: et horribilis super omnes deos.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
Omnes enim dii populorum, idola: Dominus autem cælos fecit.
27 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
Confessio et magnificentia coram eo: fortitudo et gaudium in loco eius.
28 Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
Afferte Domino familiæ populorum: afferte Domino gloriam et imperium.
29 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship the LORD in holy array.
Date Domino gloriam, nomini eius, levate sacrificium, et venite in conspectu eius: et adorate Dominum in decore sancto.
30 Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.
Commoveatur a facie eius omnis terra: ipse enim fundavit orbem immobilem.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!”
Lætentur cæli, et exultet terra: et dicant in nationibus, Dominus regnavit.
32 Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
Tonet mare, et plenitudo eius: exultent agri, et omnia quæ in eis sunt.
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.
Tunc laudabunt ligna saltus coram Domino: quia venit iudicare terram.
34 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus: quoniam in æternum misericordia eius.
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.”
Et dicite: Salva nos Deus salvator noster; et congrega nos, et erue de gentibus, ut confiteamur nomini sancto tuo, et exultemus in carminibus tuis.
36 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD.
Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel ab æterno usque in æternum: et dicat omnis populo: Amen, et hymnum Domino.
37 So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the LORD’s covenant, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;
Reliquit itaque ibi coram arca fœderis Domini Asaph, et fratres eius, ut ministrarent in conspectu arcæ iugiter per singulos dies, et vices suas.
38 and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
Porro Obededom, et fratres eius sexaginta octo; et Obededom filium Idithun, et Hosa constituit ianitores.
39 and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before the LORD’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,
Sadoc autem sacerdotem, et fratres eius sacerdotes, coram tabernaculo Domini in excelso, quod erat in Gabaon,
40 to offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the LORD’s law, which he commanded to Israel;
ut offerrent holocausta Domino super altare holocautomatis iugiter, mane et vespere, iuxta omnia quæ scripta sunt in lege Domini, quam præcepit Israeli.
41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his loving kindness endures forever;
Et post eum Heman, et Idithun, et reliquos electos, unumquemque vocabulo suo ad confitendum Domino: Quoniam in æternum misericordia eius.
42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun with shofars 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.
Heman quoque, et Idithun canentes tuba, et quatientes cymbala, et omnia musicorum organa ad canendum Deo; filios autem Idithun fecit esse portarios.
43 All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
Reversusque est omnis populus in domum suam: et David, ut benediceret etiam domui suæ.
