Παραλειπομένων Αʹ 16
1 καὶ εἰσήνεγκαν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἀπηρείσαντο αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ τῆς σκηνῆς ἧς ἔπηξεν αὐτῇ Δαυιδ καὶ προσήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ σωτηρίου ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ
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.
2 καὶ συνετέλεσεν Δαυιδ ἀναφέρων ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ σωτηρίου καὶ εὐλόγησεν τὸν λαὸν ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου
When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the LORD’s name.
3 καὶ διεμέρισεν παντὶ ἀνδρὶ Ισραηλ ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς καὶ ἕως γυναικὸς τῷ ἀνδρὶ ἄρτον ἕνα ἀρτοκοπικὸν καὶ ἀμορίτην
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.
4 καὶ ἔταξεν κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς κιβωτοῦ διαθήκης κυρίου ἐκ τῶν Λευιτῶν λειτουργοῦντας ἀναφωνοῦντας καὶ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι καὶ αἰνεῖν κύριον τὸν θεὸν Ισραηλ
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:
5 Ασαφ ὁ ἡγούμενος καὶ δευτερεύων αὐτῷ Ζαχαριας Ιιηλ Σεμιραμωθ Ιιηλ Ματταθιας Ελιαβ καὶ Βαναιας καὶ Αβδεδομ καὶ Ιιηλ ἐν ὀργάνοις νάβλαις καὶ κινύραις καὶ Ασαφ ἐν κυμβάλοις ἀναφωνῶν
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;
6 καὶ Βαναιας καὶ Οζιηλ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐν ταῖς σάλπιγξιν διὰ παντὸς ἐναντίον τῆς κιβωτοῦ τῆς διαθήκης τοῦ θεοῦ
with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τότε ἔταξεν Δαυιδ ἐν ἀρχῇ τοῦ αἰνεῖν τὸν κύριον ἐν χειρὶ Ασαφ καὶ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ
Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to the LORD by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
8 ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ κυρίῳ ἐπικαλεῖσθε αὐτὸν ἐν ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ γνωρίσατε ἐν λαοῖς τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ
Oh give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples.
9 ᾄσατε αὐτῷ καὶ ὑμνήσατε αὐτῷ διηγήσασθε πᾶσιν τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ ἃ ἐποίησεν κύριος
Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
10 αἰνεῖτε ἐν ὀνόματι ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ εὐφρανθήσεται καρδία ζητοῦσα τὴν εὐδοκίαν αὐτοῦ
Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
11 ζητήσατε τὸν κύριον καὶ ἰσχύσατε ζητήσατε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ διὰ παντός
Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
12 μνημονεύετε τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ ἃ ἐποίησεν τέρατα καὶ κρίματα τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ
Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
13 σπέρμα Ισραηλ παῖδες αὐτοῦ υἱοὶ Ιακωβ ἐκλεκτοὶ αὐτοῦ
you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 αὐτὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ
He is the LORD our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
15 μνημονεύων εἰς αἰῶνα διαθήκης αὐτοῦ λόγον αὐτοῦ ὃν ἐνετείλατο εἰς χιλίας γενεάς
Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
16 ὃν διέθετο τῷ Αβρααμ καὶ τὸν ὅρκον αὐτοῦ τῷ Ισαακ
the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
17 ἔστησεν αὐτὸν τῷ Ιακωβ εἰς πρόσταγμα τῷ Ισραηλ διαθήκην αἰώνιον
He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 λέγων σοὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν Χανααν σχοίνισμα κληρονομίας ὑμῶν
saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”
19 ἐν τῷ γενέσθαι αὐτοὺς ὀλιγοστοὺς ἀριθμῷ ὡς ἐσμικρύνθησαν καὶ παρῴκησαν ἐν αὐτῇ
when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
20 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἀπὸ ἔθνους εἰς ἔθνος καὶ ἀπὸ βασιλείας εἰς λαὸν ἕτερον
They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
21 οὐκ ἀφῆκεν ἄνδρα τοῦ δυναστεῦσαι αὐτοὺς καὶ ἤλεγξεν περὶ αὐτῶν βασιλεῖς
He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
22 μὴ ἅψησθε τῶν χριστῶν μου καὶ ἐν τοῖς προφήταις μου μὴ πονηρεύεσθε
“Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
23 ᾄσατε τῷ κυρίῳ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ἀναγγείλατε ἐξ ἡμέρας εἰς ἡμέραν σωτηρίαν αὐτοῦ
Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.
25 ὅτι μέγας κύριος καὶ αἰνετὸς σφόδρα φοβερός ἐστιν ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς θεούς
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.
26 ὅτι πάντες οἱ θεοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν εἴδωλα καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν οὐρανὸν ἐποίησεν
For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
27 δόξα καὶ ἔπαινος κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἰσχὺς καὶ καύχημα ἐν τόπῳ αὐτοῦ
Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
28 δότε τῷ κυρίῳ πατριαὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν δότε τῷ κυρίῳ δόξαν καὶ ἰσχύν
Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
29 δότε τῷ κυρίῳ δόξαν ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ λάβετε δῶρα καὶ ἐνέγκατε κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ προσκυνήσατε τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν αὐλαῖς ἁγίαις αὐτοῦ
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship the LORD in holy array.
30 φοβηθήτω ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ κατορθωθήτω ἡ γῆ καὶ μὴ σαλευθήτω
Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.
31 εὐφρανθήτω ὁ οὐρανός καὶ ἀγαλλιάσθω ἡ γῆ καὶ εἰπάτωσαν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν κύριος βασιλεύων
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!”
32 βομβήσει ἡ θάλασσα σὺν τῷ πληρώματι καὶ ξύλον ἀγροῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτῷ
Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
33 τότε εὐφρανθήσεται τὰ ξύλα τοῦ δρυμοῦ ἀπὸ προσώπου κυρίου ὅτι ἦλθεν κρῖναι τὴν γῆν
Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.
34 ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ κυρίῳ ὅτι ἀγαθόν ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
35 καὶ εἴπατε σῶσον ἡμᾶς ὁ θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας ἡμῶν καὶ ἐξελοῦ ἡμᾶς ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν τοῦ αἰνεῖν τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιόν σου καὶ καυχᾶσθαι ἐν ταῖς αἰνέσεσίν σου
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.”
36 εὐλογημένος κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἐρεῖ πᾶς ὁ λαός αμην καὶ ᾔνεσαν τῷ κυρίῳ
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD.
37 καὶ κατέλιπον ἐκεῖ ἔναντι τῆς κιβωτοῦ διαθήκης κυρίου τὸν Ασαφ καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ τοῦ λειτουργεῖν ἐναντίον τῆς κιβωτοῦ διὰ παντὸς τὸ τῆς ἡμέρας εἰς ἡμέραν
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;
38 καὶ Αβδεδομ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἑξήκοντα καὶ ὀκτώ καὶ Αβδεδομ υἱὸς Ιδιθων καὶ Οσσα εἰς πυλωρούς
and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
39 καὶ τὸν Σαδωκ τὸν ἱερέα καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ τοὺς ἱερεῖς ἐναντίον σκηνῆς κυρίου ἐν Βαμα τῇ ἐν Γαβαων
and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before the LORD’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,
40 τοῦ ἀναφέρειν ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ κυρίῳ ἐπὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τῶν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων διὰ παντὸς τὸ πρωὶ καὶ τὸ ἑσπέρας καὶ κατὰ πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν νόμῳ κυρίου ὅσα ἐνετείλατο ἐφ’ υἱοῖς Ισραηλ ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ τοῦ θεράποντος τοῦ θεοῦ
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;
41 καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ Αιμαν καὶ Ιδιθων καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ ἐκλεγέντες ἐπ’ ὀνόματος τοῦ αἰνεῖν τὸν κύριον ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ
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;
42 καὶ μετ’ αὐτῶν σάλπιγγες καὶ κύμβαλα τοῦ ἀναφωνεῖν καὶ ὄργανα τῶν ᾠδῶν τοῦ θεοῦ υἱοὶ Ιδιθων εἰς τὴν πύλην
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.
43 καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἅπας ὁ λαὸς ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν Δαυιδ τοῦ εὐλογῆσαι τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ
All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
