1 इतिहास 16
1 १ तब परमेश्वर का सन्दूक ले आकर उस तम्बू में रखा गया जो दाऊद ने उसके लिये खड़ा कराया था; और परमेश्वर के सामने होमबलि और मेलबलि चढ़ाए गए।
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].
When David had finished presenting all those offerings, he [asked Yahweh to] bless the people.
3 ३ और उसने क्या पुरुष, क्या स्त्री, सब इस्राएलियों को एक-एक रोटी और एक-एक टुकड़ा माँस और किशमिश की एक-एक टिकिया बँटवा दी।
He gave a loaf of bread, some dates, and some raisins to every Israeli man and woman [who was there].
4 ४ तब उसने कई लेवियों को इसलिए ठहरा दिया, कि यहोवा के सन्दूक के सामने सेवा टहल किया करें, और इस्राएल के परमेश्वर यहोवा की चर्चा और उसका धन्यवाद और स्तुति किया करें।
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.
5 ५ उनका मुखिया तो आसाप था, और उसके नीचे जकर्याह था, फिर यीएल, शमीरामोत, यहीएल, मत्तित्याह, एलीआब, बनायाह, ओबेदेदोम और यीएल थे; ये तो सारंगियाँ और वीणाएँ लिये हुए थे, और आसाप झाँझ पर राग बजाता था।
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.
6 ६ बनायाह और यहजीएल नामक याजक परमेश्वर की वाचा के सन्दूक के सामने नित्य तुरहियां बजाने के लिए नियुक्त किए गए।
Benaiah and Jahaziel were priests who blew trumpets frequently in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the Sacred Chest.
On that day, David gave to Asaph and his helpers this psalm to praise Yahweh:
Thank God, and pray to him [MTY]. Tell the people of all nations what he has done.
Sing to him; sing songs to praise him. Tell about all his miraculous deeds.
Be glad that you belong to him [MTY]; those who want to know Yahweh better should rejoice.
Trust in Yahweh and in his power; continually seek to get help from him.
Do not forget the wonderful things that he has done, the miracles and the just laws that he has given to us.
We people are the descendants of his servant Jacob; we are the people of Israel whom he has chosen.
Yahweh is our God. His just/fair laws are known by people throughout the world.
He never forgets the agreement that he has made: he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations.
That is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement to Isaac.
17 १७ और उसी को उसने याकूब के लिये विधि करके और इस्राएल के लिये सदा की वाचा बाँधकर यह कहकर दृढ़ किया,
It was an agreement for the Israeli people, and he wanted that agreement to endure forever.
What he said was, “I will give the Canaan region to you, to belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
[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);
they continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
21 २१ परन्तु उसने किसी मनुष्य को उन पर अंधेर करने न दिया; और वह राजाओं को उनके निमित्त यह धमकी देता था,
But he did not allow others to oppress them, and he warned kings by saying to them,
“Do not harm the people whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
23 २३ हे समस्त पृथ्वी के लोगों यहोवा का गीत गाओ। प्रतिदिन उसके किए हुए उद्धार का शुभ समाचार सुनाते रहो।
You people throughout the world, sing to Yahweh. Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved us.
Tell the people of the nations that he is great; tell all the people-groups the marvelous things [that he has done].
Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much. He should be revered more than all the gods,
because all the gods that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only idols, but Yahweh [is truly great; he] created the skies.
He is glorious and majestic; his power and joy fill his Sacred Tent.
You people in nations all over the world, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
29 २९ यहोवा के नाम की महिमा ऐसी मानो जो उसके नाम के योग्य है। भेंट लेकर उसके सम्मुख आओ, पवित्रता से शोभायमान होकर यहोवा को दण्डवत् करो।
Praise Yahweh like he [MTY] deserves to be praised. Bring an offering and come to his Sacred Tent. Worship Yahweh because he is holy.
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.
Everything in the sky and on the earth should be happy. People [everywhere] should say, “Yahweh is our king!”
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.
33 ३३ उसी समय वन के वृक्ष यहोवा के सामने जयजयकार करें, क्योंकि वह पृथ्वी का न्याय करने को आनेवाला है।
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.
Thank Yahweh, because [everything that he does is] good. He faithfully loves us forever.
35 ३५ और यह कहो, “हे हमारे उद्धार करनेवाले परमेश्वर हमारा उद्धार कर, और हमको इकट्ठा करके अन्यजातियों से छुड़ा, कि हम तेरे पवित्र नाम का धन्यवाद करें, और तेरी स्तुति करते हुए तेरे विषय बड़ाई करें।
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.”
36 ३६ अनादिकाल से अनन्तकाल तक इस्राएल का परमेश्वर यहोवा धन्य है।” तब सब प्रजा ने “आमीन” कहा: और यहोवा की स्तुति की।
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.
37 ३७ तब उसने वहाँ अर्थात् यहोवा की वाचा के सन्दूक के सामने आसाप और उसके भाइयों को छोड़ दिया, कि प्रतिदिन के प्रयोजन के अनुसार वे सन्दूक के सामने नित्य सेवा टहल किया करें,
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.
38 ३८ और अड़सठ भाइयों समेत ओबेदेदोम को, और द्वारपालों के लिये यदूतून के पुत्र ओबेदेदोम और होसा को छोड़ दिया।
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].
39 ३९ फिर उसने सादोक याजक और उसके भाई याजकों को यहोवा के निवास के सामने, जो गिबोन के ऊँचे स्थान में था, ठहरा दिया,
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].
40 ४० कि वे नित्य सवेरे और साँझ को होमबलि की वेदी पर यहोवा को होमबलि चढ़ाया करें, और उन सब के अनुसार किया करें, जो यहोवा की व्यवस्था में लिखा है, जिसे उसने इस्राएल को दिया था।
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.
41 ४१ और उनके संग उसने हेमान और यदूतून और दूसरों को भी जो नाम लेकर चुने गए थे ठहरा दिया, कि यहोवा की सदा की करुणा के कारण उसका धन्यवाद करें।
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.
42 ४२ और उनके संग उसने हेमान और यदूतून को बजानेवालों के लिये तुरहियां और झाँझें और परमेश्वर के गीत गाने के लिये बाजे दिए, और यदूतून के बेटों को फाटक की रखवाली करने को ठहरा दिया।
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].
Then all the people left. They returned to their homes, and David returned home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family.
