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.
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 Setelah Daud selesai mempersembahkan kurban-kurban itu, ia memberkati rakyat atas nama TUHAN,
When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the LORD’s name.
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.
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 Daud mengangkat beberapa orang Lewi untuk memimpin upacara ibadat kepada TUHAN, Allah Israel, di depan Peti Perjanjian itu, dengan nyanyian dan puji-pujian.
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 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 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 dan dua orang imam, yaitu Benaya dan Yahaziel, ditugaskan untuk secara tetap meniup trompet di depan Peti Perjanjian itu.
with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 Itulah pertama kalinya Daud menugaskan Asaf dan rekan-rekannya untuk menyanyikan puji-pujian kepada TUHAN.
Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to the LORD by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
8 Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, wartakanlah kebesaran-Nya, ceritakanlah perbuatan-Nya di antara bangsa-bangsa.
Oh give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make what he has done known amongst the peoples.
9 Nyanyikanlah pujian bagi TUHAN, beritakanlah segala karya-Nya yang menakjubkan.
Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvellous works.
10 Dialah TUHAN Yang Mahaesa; bersukacitalah, sebab kita milik-Nya; semua yang menyembah Dia hendaklah bergembira.
Glory in 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 strength. Seek his face forever more.
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 marvellous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth,
you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 TUHAN adalah Allah kita, keputusan-Nya berlaku di seluruh dunia.
He is the LORD our God. His judgements are in all the earth.
15 Ia selalu ingat akan perjanjian-Nya, janji-Nya berlaku selama-lamanya.
Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
16 Perjanjian itu dibuat-Nya dengan Abraham, dan kemudian dengan Ishak,
the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
17 lalu dikukuhkan dengan Yakub menjadi perjanjian yang kekal bagi umat Israel.
He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 Kata-Nya, "Tanah Kanaan akan Kuberikan kepadamu menjadi milik pusakamu."
saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”
19 Dahulu umat TUHAN hidup sebagai orang asing di sana jumlah mereka sedikit saja.
when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
20 Mereka mengembara dari bangsa ke bangsa, pindah dari satu negeri ke negeri lainnya.
They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
21 Tetapi TUHAN tidak membiarkan siapa pun menindas mereka; demi mereka, raja-raja diperingatkan-Nya,
He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
22 "Jangan mengganggu orang-orang pilihan-Ku, jangan berbuat jahat kepada nabi-nabi-Ku."
“Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
23 Nyanyilah bagi TUHAN, hai bumi seluruhnya, setiap hari siarkanlah kabar gembira bahwa Ia telah menyelamatkan kita.
Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.
24 Ceritakan keagungan-Nya kepada bangsa-bangsa, dan perbuatan-perbuatan-Nya yang perkasa kepada umat manusia.
Declare his glory amongst the nations, and his marvellous works amongst all the peoples.
25 Sebab besarlah TUHAN dan sangat terpuji; Ia harus ditakuti lebih dari segala dewa.
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared 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.
Honour and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
28 Pujilah TUHAN, hai umat manusia! Pujilah keagungan dan kekuatan-Nya.
Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
29 Pujilah nama-Nya yang mulia, dan bawalah kurban ke dalam rumah-Nya. Sembahlah TUHAN dengan mengenakan pakaian ibadat!
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship the LORD in holy array.
30 Gemetarlah di hadapan-Nya, hai seluruh dunia! Bumi kukuh tidak tergoyahkan.
Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.
31 Hai langit dan bumi, bergembiralah! Beritakanlah kepada bangsa-bangsa bahwa TUHAN itu Raja!
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say amongst the nations, “The LORD reigns!”
32 Bergemuruhlah hai laut dan semua isinya! Bersukacitalah hai padang dan segala tanamannya!
Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
33 Pohon-pohon di hutan akan bersorak-sorai sebab TUHAN telah datang untuk memerintah di bumi.
Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.
34 Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik; kasih-Nya kekal abadi.
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
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!"
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 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 everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and 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,
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 dibantu oleh Obed-Edom anak Yedutun, serta 68 orang lainnya yang sekaum dengan dia. Obed-Edom dan Hosa adalah pengawal pintu-pintu gerbang.
and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
39 Tetapi Zadok dan imam-imam lainnya ditugaskan untuk tetap mengurus ibadat di tempat ibadat di Gibeon.
and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before the LORD’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,
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 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 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 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 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 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 Kemudian pulanglah semua orang ke rumahnya masing-masing. Begitu pula Daud pulang untuk menengok keluarganya.
All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
