דברי הימים א 16
| וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת־אֲרוֹן הָאֱלֹהִים וַיַּצִּיגוּ אֹתוֹ בְּתוֹךְ הָאֹהֶל אֲשֶׁר נָטָה־לוֹ דָּוִיד וַיַּקְרִיבוּ עֹלוֹת וּשְׁלָמִים לִפְנֵי הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 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.
| וַיְכַל דָּוִיד מֵהַעֲלוֹת הָעֹלָה וְהַשְּׁלָמִים וַיְבָרֶךְ אֶת־הָעָם בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָֽה׃ | 2 |
When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the LORD’s name.
| וַיְחַלֵּק לְכׇל־אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאִישׁ וְעַד־אִשָּׁה לְאִישׁ כִּכַּר־לֶחֶם וְאֶשְׁפָּר וַאֲשִׁישָֽׁה׃ | 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.
| וַיִּתֵּן לִפְנֵי אֲרוֹן יְהֹוָה מִן־הַלְוִיִּם מְשָׁרְתִים וּלְהַזְכִּיר וּלְהוֹדוֹת וּלְהַלֵּל לַיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 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:
| אָסָף הָרֹאשׁ וּמִשְׁנֵהוּ זְכַרְיָה יְעִיאֵל וּשְׁמִירָמוֹת וִיחִיאֵל וּמַתִּתְיָה וֶאֱלִיאָב וּבְנָיָהוּ וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם וִיעִיאֵל בִּכְלֵי נְבָלִים וּבְכִנֹּרוֹת וְאָסָף בַּֽמְצִלְתַּיִם מַשְׁמִֽיעַ׃ | 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;
| וּבְנָיָהוּ וְיַחֲזִיאֵל הַכֹּהֲנִים בַּחֲצֹצְרוֹת תָּמִיד לִפְנֵי אֲרוֹן בְּרִית־הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 6 |
with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
| בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא אָז נָתַן דָּוִיד בָּרֹאשׁ לְהֹדוֹת לַיהֹוָה בְּיַד־אָסָף וְאֶחָֽיו׃ | 7 |
Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to the LORD by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
| הוֹדוּ לַֽיהֹוָה קִרְאוּ בִשְׁמוֹ הוֹדִיעוּ בָעַמִּים עֲלִילֹתָֽיו׃ | 8 |
Oh give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make what he has done known amongst the peoples.
| שִׁירוּ לוֹ זַמְּרוּ־לוֹ שִׂיחוּ בְּכׇל־נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃ | 9 |
Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvellous works.
| הִֽתְהַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁם קׇדְשׁוֹ יִשְׂמַח לֵב מְבַקְשֵׁי יְהֹוָֽה׃ | 10 |
Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
| דִּרְשׁוּ יְהֹוָה וְעֻזּוֹ בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָיו תָּמִֽיד׃ | 11 |
Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
| זִכְרוּ נִפְלְאֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה מֹפְתָיו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיהוּ׃ | 12 |
Remember his marvellous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth,
| זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל עַבְדּוֹ בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב בְּחִירָֽיו׃ | 13 |
you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
| הוּא יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְּכׇל־הָאָרֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃ | 14 |
He is the LORD our God. His judgements are in all the earth.
| זִכְרוּ לְעוֹלָם בְּרִיתוֹ דָּבָר צִוָּה לְאֶלֶף דּֽוֹר׃ | 15 |
Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
| אֲשֶׁר כָּרַת אֶת־אַבְרָהָם וּשְׁבוּעָתוֹ לְיִצְחָֽק׃ | 16 |
the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
| וַיַּעֲמִידֶהָ לְיַֽעֲקֹב לְחֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּרִית עוֹלָֽם׃ | 17 |
He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
| לֵאמֹר לְךָ אֶתֵּן אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָעַן חֶבֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃ | 18 |
saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”
| בִּהְיֽוֹתְכֶם מְתֵי מִסְפָּר כִּמְעַט וְגָרִים בָּֽהּ׃ | 19 |
when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
| וַיִּֽתְהַלְּכוּ מִגּוֹי אֶל־גּוֹי וּמִמַּמְלָכָה אֶל־עַם אַחֵֽר׃ | 20 |
They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
| לֹֽא־הִנִּיחַ לְאִישׁ לְעׇשְׁקָם וַיּוֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶם מְלָכִֽים׃ | 21 |
He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
| אַֽל־תִּגְּעוּ בִּמְשִׁיחָי וּבִנְבִיאַי אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ׃ | 22 |
“Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
| שִׁירוּ לַֽיהֹוָה כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ בַּשְּׂרוּ מִיּֽוֹם־אֶל־יוֹם יְשׁוּעָתֽוֹ׃ | 23 |
Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.
| סַפְּרוּ בַגּוֹיִם אֶת־כְּבוֹדוֹ בְּכׇל־הָעַמִּים נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃ | 24 |
Declare his glory amongst the nations, and his marvellous works amongst all the peoples.
| כִּי גָדוֹל יְהֹוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד וְנוֹרָא הוּא עַל־כׇּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 25 |
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.
| כִּי כׇּל־אֱלֹהֵי הָֽעַמִּים אֱלִילִים וַיהֹוָה שָׁמַיִם עָשָֽׂה׃ | 26 |
For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
| הוֹד וְהָדָר לְפָנָיו עֹז וְחֶדְוָה בִּמְקֹמֽוֹ׃ | 27 |
Honour and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
| הָבוּ לַֽיהֹוָה מִשְׁפְּחוֹת עַמִּים הָבוּ לַיהֹוָה כָּבוֹד וָעֹֽז׃ | 28 |
Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
| הָבוּ לַֽיהֹוָה כְּבוֹד שְׁמוֹ שְׂאוּ מִנְחָה וּבֹאוּ לְפָנָיו הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַֽיהֹוָה בְּהַדְרַת־קֹֽדֶשׁ׃ | 29 |
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship the LORD in holy array.
| חִילוּ מִלְּפָנָיו כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ אַף־תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל־תִּמּֽוֹט׃ | 30 |
Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.
| יִשְׂמְחוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וְתָגֵל הָאָרֶץ וְיֹאמְרוּ בַגּוֹיִם יְהֹוָה מָלָֽךְ׃ | 31 |
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say amongst the nations, “The LORD reigns!”
| יִרְעַם הַיָּם וּמְלוֹאוֹ יַעֲלֹץ הַשָּׂדֶה וְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר־בּֽוֹ׃ | 32 |
Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
| אָז יְרַנְּנוּ עֲצֵי הַיָּעַר מִלִּפְנֵי יְהֹוָה כִּי־בָא לִשְׁפּוֹט אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 33 |
Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.
| הוֹדוּ לַֽיהֹוָה כִּי טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ | 34 |
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
| וְאִמְרוּ הוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֵנוּ וְקַבְּצֵנוּ וְהַצִּילֵנוּ מִן־הַגּוֹיִם לְהֹדוֹת לְשֵׁם קׇדְשֶׁךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּחַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃ | 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.”
| בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן־הָעוֹלָם וְעַד הָעֹלָם וַיֹּאמְרוּ כׇל־הָעָם אָמֵן וְהַלֵּל לַיהֹוָֽה׃ | 36 |
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD.
| וַיַּעֲזׇב־שָׁם לִפְנֵי אֲרוֹן בְּרִית־יְהֹוָה לְאָסָף וּלְאֶחָיו לְשָׁרֵת לִפְנֵי הָאָרוֹן תָּמִיד לִדְבַר־יוֹם בְּיוֹמֽוֹ׃ | 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;
| וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם וַאֲחֵיהֶם שִׁשִּׁים וּשְׁמוֹנָה וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם בֶּן־יְדִיתוּן וְחֹסָה לְשֹׁעֲרִֽים׃ | 38 |
and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
| וְאֵת ׀ צָדוֹק הַכֹּהֵן וְאֶחָיו הַכֹּהֲנִים לִפְנֵי מִשְׁכַּן יְהֹוָה בַּבָּמָה אֲשֶׁר בְּגִבְעֽוֹן׃ | 39 |
and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before the LORD’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,
| לְֽהַעֲלוֹת עֹלוֹת לַיהֹוָה עַל־מִזְבַּח הָעֹלָה תָּמִיד לַבֹּקֶר וְלָעָרֶב וּלְכׇל־הַכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרַת יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 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;
| וְעִמָּהֶם הֵימָן וִידוּתוּן וּשְׁאָר הַבְּרוּרִים אֲשֶׁר נִקְּבוּ בְּשֵׁמוֹת לְהֹדוֹת לַֽיהֹוָה כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ | 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;
| וְעִמָּהֶם הֵימָן וִידוּתוּן חֲצֹצְרוֹת וּמְצִלְתַּיִם לְמַשְׁמִיעִים וּכְלֵי שִׁיר הָאֱלֹהִים וּבְנֵי יְדוּתוּן לַשָּֽׁעַר׃ | 42 |
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.
| וַיֵּלְכוּ כׇל־הָעָם אִישׁ לְבֵיתוֹ וַיִּסֹּב דָּוִיד לְבָרֵךְ אֶת־בֵּיתֽוֹ׃ | 43 |
All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
