1 Tawarikh 16
1 Peti Perjanjian itu diletakkan di dalam kemah yang telah disediakan oleh Daud untuk Peti itu. Lalu mereka mempersembahkan kepada Allah kurban bakaran dan kurban perdamaian.
And so they took the ark of God, and they set it in the midst of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it. And they offered holocausts and peace offerings before God.
2 Setelah Daud selesai mempersembahkan kurban-kurban itu, ia memberkati rakyat atas nama TUHAN,
And when David had completed offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
3 lalu membagi-bagikan makanan kepada mereka semua. Setiap orang yang ada di situ baik laki-laki maupun wanita mendapat sepotong daging panggang, roti dan kue kismis.
And he divided to every single one, from men even to women, a twist of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and fine wheat flour fried with oil.
4 Daud mengangkat beberapa orang Lewi untuk memimpin upacara ibadat kepada TUHAN, Allah Israel, di depan Peti Perjanjian itu, dengan nyanyian dan puji-pujian.
And he appointed some from the Levites who would minister before the ark of the Lord, and commemorate his works, and glorify and praise the Lord, the God of Israel.
5 Asaf dipilih sebagai pemimpin utama dan Zakharia wakilnya. Yeiel, Semiramot, Yehiel, Matica, Eliab, Benaya, Obed-Edom dan Yeiel ditugaskan untuk memainkan kecapi. Asaf ditugaskan memainkan simbal,
Asaph was the leader, and second to him was Zechariah. In addition, there were Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom. And Jeiel was over the instruments of the psaltery and the harps. But Asaph sounded out with the cymbals.
6 dan dua orang imam, yaitu Benaya dan Yahaziel, ditugaskan untuk secara tetap meniup trompet di depan Peti Perjanjian itu.
Truly, the priests, Benaiah and Jahaziel, were to sound the trumpet continually before the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
7 Itulah pertama kalinya Daud menugaskan Asaf dan rekan-rekannya untuk menyanyikan puji-pujian kepada TUHAN.
In that day, David made Asaph the leader, in order to confess to the Lord with his brothers:
8 Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, wartakanlah kebesaran-Nya, ceritakanlah perbuatan-Nya di antara bangsa-bangsa.
“Confess to the Lord, and invoke his name. Make known his endeavors among the peoples.
9 Nyanyikanlah pujian bagi TUHAN, beritakanlah segala karya-Nya yang menakjubkan.
Sing to him, and sing psalms to him, and describe all his miracles.
10 Dialah TUHAN Yang Mahaesa; bersukacitalah, sebab kita milik-Nya; semua yang menyembah Dia hendaklah bergembira.
Praise his holy name! Let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
11 Mintalah kekuatan daripada-Nya, sembahlah Dia senantiasa.
Seek the Lord and his virtue. Seek his face always.
12 Hai keturunan Yakub, hamba Allah! Hai keturunan Israel, umat pilihan-Nya! Ingatlah semua keajaiban yang dilakukan-Nya, jangan melupakan keputusan-keputusan-Nya.
Remember his miracles, which he has accomplished, his signs, and the judgments of his mouth.
O offspring of Israel, his servants! O sons of Jacob, his elect!
14 TUHAN adalah Allah kita, keputusan-Nya berlaku di seluruh dunia.
He is the Lord our God. His judgments are throughout all the earth.
15 Ia selalu ingat akan perjanjian-Nya, janji-Nya berlaku selama-lamanya.
Remember forever his covenant, the word that he instructed unto a thousand generations,
16 Perjanjian itu dibuat-Nya dengan Abraham, dan kemudian dengan Ishak,
the covenant that he formed with Abraham, and his oath with Isaac.
17 lalu dikukuhkan dengan Yakub menjadi perjanjian yang kekal bagi umat Israel.
And he appointed the same to Jacob as a precept, and to Israel as an everlasting pact,
18 Kata-Nya, "Tanah Kanaan akan Kuberikan kepadamu menjadi milik pusakamu."
saying: ‘To you, I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.’
19 Dahulu umat TUHAN hidup sebagai orang asing di sana jumlah mereka sedikit saja.
At that time, they were small in number, they were few and were settlers there.
20 Mereka mengembara dari bangsa ke bangsa, pindah dari satu negeri ke negeri lainnya.
And they passed through, from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.
21 Tetapi TUHAN tidak membiarkan siapa pun menindas mereka; demi mereka, raja-raja diperingatkan-Nya,
He did not permit anyone to falsely accuse them. Instead, he reproved kings on their behalf:
22 "Jangan mengganggu orang-orang pilihan-Ku, jangan berbuat jahat kepada nabi-nabi-Ku."
‘Do not touch my Christ. And do not malign my prophets.’
23 Nyanyilah bagi TUHAN, hai bumi seluruhnya, setiap hari siarkanlah kabar gembira bahwa Ia telah menyelamatkan kita.
Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Announce his salvation, from day to day.
24 Ceritakan keagungan-Nya kepada bangsa-bangsa, dan perbuatan-perbuatan-Nya yang perkasa kepada umat manusia.
Describe his glory among the Gentiles, his miracles among all the peoples.
25 Sebab besarlah TUHAN dan sangat terpuji; Ia harus ditakuti lebih dari segala dewa.
For the Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy. And he is terrible, above all gods.
26 Dewa-dewa bangsa lain hanya patung berhala tetapi TUHAN adalah pencipta angkasa raya.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols. But the Lord made the heavens.
27 Ia diliputi keagungan dan kemuliaan, rumah-Nya penuh kuasa dan sukacita.
Confession and magnificence are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
28 Pujilah TUHAN, hai umat manusia! Pujilah keagungan dan kekuatan-Nya.
Bring to the Lord, O families of the peoples, bring to the Lord glory and dominion.
29 Pujilah nama-Nya yang mulia, dan bawalah kurban ke dalam rumah-Nya. Sembahlah TUHAN dengan mengenakan pakaian ibadat!
Give glory to the Lord, to his name. Lift up sacrifice, and approach before his sight. And adore the Lord in holy attire.
30 Gemetarlah di hadapan-Nya, hai seluruh dunia! Bumi kukuh tidak tergoyahkan.
Let all the earth be moved before his face. For he founded the globe immoveable.
31 Hai langit dan bumi, bergembiralah! Beritakanlah kepada bangsa-bangsa bahwa TUHAN itu Raja!
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth exult. And let them say among the nations, ‘The Lord has reigned.’
32 Bergemuruhlah hai laut dan semua isinya! Bersukacitalah hai padang dan segala tanamannya!
Let the sea roar, with all its plenitude. Let the fields exult, with all that is in them.
33 Pohon-pohon di hutan akan bersorak-sorai sebab TUHAN telah datang untuk memerintah di bumi.
Then the trees of the forest will give praise before the Lord. For he comes to judge the earth.
34 Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik; kasih-Nya kekal abadi.
Confess to the Lord, for he is good. For his mercy is eternal.
35 Katakanlah, "Ya Allah, Penyelamat kami, selamatkanlah kami dari kekuasaan bangsa-bangsa dan kumpulkanlah kami kembali supaya kami dapat bersyukur dan memuji nama-Mu yang suci!"
And say: ‘Save us, O God our savior! And gather us together, and rescue us from the nations, so that we may confess to your holy name, and may exult in your songs.
36 Pujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, sekarang dan selama-lamanya! Kemudian seluruh umat Israel berkata, "Amin", lalu mereka memuji TUHAN.
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity.’ And let all the people say, ‘Amen,’ and let them sing a hymn to the Lord.”
37 Kemudian Raja Daud menugaskan Asaf dan orang-orang Lewi lainnya untuk tetap mengurus hal-hal yang bersangkutan dengan ibadat di tempat di mana Peti Perjanjian TUHAN disimpan. Setiap hari mereka harus bertugas di situ,
And so, there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, he left Asaph and his brothers, so that they might minister in the sight of the ark continually, throughout each day, and in their turns.
38 dibantu oleh Obed-Edom anak Yedutun, serta 68 orang lainnya yang sekaum dengan dia. Obed-Edom dan Hosa adalah pengawal pintu-pintu gerbang.
Now Obededom and his brothers were sixty-eight. And he appointed Obededom, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah to be porters.
39 Tetapi Zadok dan imam-imam lainnya ditugaskan untuk tetap mengurus ibadat di tempat ibadat di Gibeon.
But Zadok the priest, and his brothers the priests, were before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place, which was in Gibeon,
40 Setiap pagi dan petang mereka harus mempersembahkan kurban bakaran di atas mezbah sesuai dengan hukum-hukum yang diberikan TUHAN kepada orang Israel.
so that they could offer holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of holocausts continually, morning and evening, according to all that was written in the law of the Lord, which he instructed to Israel.
41 Imam Zadok dan imam-imam itu dibantu oleh Heman dan Yedutun serta orang-orang lain yang khusus dipilih untuk menyanyikan pujian bagi TUHAN karena kasih-Nya yang kekal abadi.
And after him, Heman, and Jeduthun, and the remainder of the elect, each one by his name, were appointed to confess to the Lord: “For his mercy endures forever.”
42 Heman dan Yedutun juga bertugas atas trompet, simbal dan alat musik lainnya yang dimainkan untuk mengiringi nyanyian-nyanyian pujian. Anggota-anggota kaum Yedutun ditugaskan untuk menjaga pintu-pintu gerbang.
Also Heman and Jeduthun sounded the trumpet, and they played upon the cymbals, and upon every kind of musical instrument, in order to sing praises to God. But the sons of Jeduthun he made to be porters.
43 Kemudian pulanglah semua orang ke rumahnya masing-masing. Begitu pula Daud pulang untuk menengok keluarganya.
And all the people returned to their houses, and David also, so that he might bless his own house too.
