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.
So they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tabernacle which David pitched for it; and they offered whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings before God.
2 Setelah Daud selesai mempersembahkan kurban-kurban itu, ia memberkati rakyat atas nama TUHAN,
And David finished offering up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings, and 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 man of Israel (both men and women), to [every] man one baker's loaf, and a cake.
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 before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, Levites to minister [and] lift up the voice, and to give thanks and praise the Lord 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 chief, and next to him Zacharias, Jeiel, Semiramoth, and Jeiel, Mattathias, Eliab, and Banaeas, and Abdedom: and Jeiel sounding with musical instruments, lutes [and] harps, and Asaph with cymbals:
6 dan dua orang imam, yaitu Benaya dan Yahaziel, ditugaskan untuk secara tetap meniup trompet di depan Peti Perjanjian itu.
and Banaeas and Oziel the priests [sounding] continually with trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God in that day.
7 Itulah pertama kalinya Daud menugaskan Asaf dan rekan-rekannya untuk menyanyikan puji-pujian kepada TUHAN.
Then David first gave orders to praise the Lord by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
8 Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, wartakanlah kebesaran-Nya, ceritakanlah perbuatan-Nya di antara bangsa-bangsa.
Song. Give thanks to the Lord, call upon him by his name, make known his designs among the people.
9 Nyanyikanlah pujian bagi TUHAN, beritakanlah segala karya-Nya yang menakjubkan.
Sing [songs] to him, and sing hymns to him, relate to all [people] his wonderful deeds, which the Lord has wrought.

Praise his holy name, the heart that seeks his pleasure shall rejoice.
11 Mintalah kekuatan daripada-Nya, sembahlah Dia senantiasa.

[you] seed of Israel his servants, [you] seed of Jacob his chosen ones.
14 TUHAN adalah Allah kita, keputusan-Nya berlaku di seluruh dunia.
He [is] the Lord our God; his judgments [are] in all the earth.
15 Ia selalu ingat akan perjanjian-Nya, janji-Nya berlaku selama-lamanya.
Let us remember his covenant for ever, his word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
16 Perjanjian itu dibuat-Nya dengan Abraham, dan kemudian dengan Ishak,
which he covenanted with Abraham, and his oath [sworn] to Isaac.
17 lalu dikukuhkan dengan Yakub menjadi perjanjian yang kekal bagi umat Israel.
He confirmed it to Jacob for an ordinance, to Israel [as] an everlasting covenant,
18 Kata-Nya, "Tanah Kanaan akan Kuberikan kepadamu menjadi milik pusakamu."
saying, To you will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
19 Dahulu umat TUHAN hidup sebagai orang asing di sana jumlah mereka sedikit saja.
when they were few in number, when they were but little, and lived as strangers in it;
20 Mereka mengembara dari bangsa ke bangsa, pindah dari satu negeri ke negeri lainnya.
and went 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 suffered not a man to oppress them, and he reproved kings for their sakes,
22 "Jangan mengganggu orang-orang pilihan-Ku, jangan berbuat jahat kepada nabi-nabi-Ku."
saying, Touch not my anointed ones, and deal not wrongfully with my prophets.
23 Nyanyilah bagi TUHAN, hai bumi seluruhnya, setiap hari siarkanlah kabar gembira bahwa Ia telah menyelamatkan kita.

And say you, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us, and rescue us from among the heathen, that we may praise your holy name, and glory in your praises.
36 Pujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, sekarang dan selama-lamanya! Kemudian seluruh umat Israel berkata, "Amin", lalu mereka memuji TUHAN.
Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel from everlasting and to everlasting: And all the people shall say, Amen. So they praised 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 they left there Asaph and his brethren before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to minister before the ark continually, according to the service of each day: from day to day.
38 dibantu oleh Obed-Edom anak Yedutun, serta 68 orang lainnya yang sekaum dengan dia. Obed-Edom dan Hosa adalah pengawal pintu-pintu gerbang.
And Abdedom and his brethren [were] sixty and eight; and Abdedom the son of Idithun, and Osa, [were] to be doorkeepers.
39 Tetapi Zadok dan imam-imam lainnya ditugaskan untuk tetap mengurus ibadat di tempat ibadat di Gibeon.
And [they appointed] Sadoc the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place in Gabaon,
40 Setiap pagi dan petang mereka harus mempersembahkan kurban bakaran di atas mezbah sesuai dengan hukum-hukum yang diberikan TUHAN kepada orang Israel.
to offer up whole burnt offerings continually morning and evening, and according to all things written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded the children of Israel by Moses the servant of God.
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 with him [were] Aeman and Idithun, and the rest chosen out by name to praise the Lord, for his mercy [endures] for ever.
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.
And with them [there were] trumpets and cymbals to sound aloud, and musical instruments for the songs of God: and the sons of Idithun [were] at the gate.
43 Kemudian pulanglah semua orang ke rumahnya masing-masing. Begitu pula Daud pulang untuk menengok keluarganya.
And all the people went every one to his home: and David returned to bless his house.
