1 Tawarikh 16
1 Tabut Allah itu dibawa masuk, lalu diletakkan di tengah-tengah kemah yang dipasang Daud untuk itu, kemudian mereka mempersembahkan korban bakaran dan korban keselamatan di hadapan Allah.
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].
2 Setelah Daud selesai mempersembahkan korban bakaran dan korban keselamatan, diberkatinyalah bangsa itu demi nama TUHAN.
When David had finished presenting all those offerings, he [asked Yahweh to] bless the people.
3 Lalu dibagikannya kepada setiap orang Israel, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan, kepada masing-masing sekeping roti, sekerat daging dan sepotong kue kismis.
He gave a loaf of bread, some dates, and some raisins to every Israeli man and woman [who was there].
4 Juga diangkatnya dari orang Lewi itu beberapa orang sebagai pelayan di hadapan tabut TUHAN untuk memasyhurkan TUHAN, Allah Israel dan menyanyikan syukur dan puji-pujian bagi-Nya.
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 Kepala ialah Asaf dan sebagai orang kedua ialah Zakharia; lalu Yeiel, Semiramot, Yehiel, Matica, Eliab, Benaya, Obed-Edom dan Yeiel yang harus memainkan gambus dan kecapi, sedang Asaf harus memainkan ceracap
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 dan Benaya serta Yahaziel, imam-imam itu, selalu harus meniup nafiri di hadapan tabut perjanjian Allah itu.
Benaiah and Jahaziel were priests who blew trumpets frequently in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the Sacred Chest.
7 Kemudian pada hari itu juga, maka Daud untuk pertama kali menyuruh Asaf dan saudara-saudara sepuaknya menyanyikan syukur bagi TUHAN:
On that day, David gave to Asaph and his helpers this psalm to praise Yahweh:
8 Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, panggillah nama-Nya, perkenalkanlah perbuatan-Nya di antara bangsa-bangsa!
Thank God, and pray to him [MTY]. Tell the people of all nations what he has done.
9 Bernyanyilah bagi-Nya, bermazmurlah bagi-Nya, percakapkanlah segala perbuatan-Nya yang ajaib!
Sing to him; sing songs to praise him. Tell about all his miraculous deeds.
10 Bermegahlah di dalam nama-Nya yang kudus, biarlah bersukahati orang-orang yang mencari TUHAN!
Be glad that you belong to him [MTY]; those who want to know Yahweh better should rejoice.
11 Carilah TUHAN dan kekuatan-Nya, carilah wajah-Nya selalu!
Trust in Yahweh and in his power; continually seek to get help from him.
12 Ingatlah perbuatan-perbuatan ajaib yang dilakukan-Nya, mujizat-mujizat-Ny dan penghukuman-penghukuman yang diucapkan-Nya,
Do not forget the wonderful things that he has done, the miracles and the just laws that he has given to us.
13 hai anak cucu Israel, hamba-Nya, hai anak-anak Yakub, orang-orang pilihan-Nya!
We people are the descendants of his servant Jacob; we are the people of Israel whom he has chosen.
14 Dialah TUHAN, Allah kita, di seluruh bumi berlaku penghukuman-Nya.
Yahweh is our God. His just/fair laws are known by people throughout the world.
15 Ia ingat untuk selama-lamanya akan perjanjian-Nya, akan firman yang diperintahkan-Nya kepada seribu angkatan,
He never forgets the agreement that he has made: he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations.
16 yang diikat-Nya dengan Abraham, dan akan sumpah-Nya kepada Ishak,
That is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement to Isaac.
17 diadakan-Nya bagi Yakub menjadi ketetapan, bagi Israel menjadi perjanjian kekal,
It was an agreement for the Israeli people, and he wanted that agreement to endure forever.
18 firman-Nya: "Kepadamu akan Kuberi tanah Kanaan sebagai milik pusaka yang ditentukan bagimu."
What he said was, “I will give the Canaan region to you, to belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
19 Ketika jumlah mereka tidak seberapa, sedikit saja, dan mereka orang-orang asing di sana,
[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);
20 dan mengembara dari bangsa yang satu ke bangsa yang lain, dan dari kerajaan yang satu ke suku bangsa yang lain,
they continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
21 Ia tidak membiarkan siapapun memeras mereka; dihukum-Nya raja-raja oleh karena mereka:
But he did not allow others to oppress them, and he warned kings by saying to them,
22 "Jangan mengusik orang-orang yang Kuurapi, dan jangan berbuat jahat terhadap nabi-nabi-Ku!"
“Do not harm the people whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
23 Bernyanyilah bagi TUHAN, hai segenap bumi, kabarkanlah keselamatan yang dari pada-Nya dari hari ke hari.
You people throughout the world, sing to Yahweh. Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved us.
24 Ceritakanlah kemuliaan-Nya di antara bangsa-bangsa dan perbuatan-perbuata yang ajaib di antara segala suku bangsa.
Tell the people of the nations that he is great; tell all the people-groups the marvelous things [that he has done].
25 Sebab besar TUHAN dan terpuji sangat, dan lebih dahsyat Ia dari pada segala allah.
Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much. He should be revered more than all the gods,
26 Sebab segala allah bangsa-bangsa adalah berhala, tetapi Tuhanlah yang menjadikan langit.
because all the gods that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only idols, but Yahweh [is truly great; he] created the skies.
27 Keagungan dan semarak ada di hadapan-Nya, kekuatan dan sukacita ada di tempat-Nya.
He is glorious and majestic; his power and joy fill his Sacred Tent.
28 Kepada TUHAN, hai suku-suku bangsa, kepada TUHAN sajalah kemuliaan dan kekuatan!
You people in nations all over the world, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
29 Berilah kepada TUHAN kemuliaan nama-Nya, bawalah persembahan dan masuklah menghadap Dia! Sujudlah menyembah kepada TUHAN dengan berhiaskan kekudusan.
Praise Yahweh like he [MTY] deserves to be praised. Bring an offering and come to his Sacred Tent. Worship Yahweh because he is holy.
30 Gemetarlah di hadapan-Nya hai segenap bumi; sungguh tegak dunia, tidak bergoyang.
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.
31 Biarlah langit bersukacita dan bumi bersorak-sorak, biarlah orang berkata di antara bangsa-bangsa: "TUHAN itu Raja!"
Everything in the sky and on the earth should be happy. People [everywhere] should say, “Yahweh is our king!”
32 Biarlah gemuruh laut serta isinya, biarlah beria-ria padang dan segala yang di atasnya,
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 maka pohon-pohon di hutan bersorak-sorai di hadapan TUHAN, sebab Ia datang untuk menghakimi bumi.
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.
34 Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik! Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya.
Thank Yahweh, because [everything that he does is] good. He faithfully loves us forever.
35 Dan katakanlah: "Selamatkanlah kami, ya TUHAN Allah, Penyelamat kami, dan kumpulkanlah dan lepaskanlah kami dari antara bangsa-bangsa, supaya kami bersyukur kepada nama-Mu yang kudus, dan bermegah dalam puji-pujian kepada-Mu."
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 Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, dari selama-lamanya sampai selama-lamanya. Maka seluruh umat mengatakan: "Amin! Pujilah TUHAN!"
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 Lalu Daud meninggalkan di sana di hadapan tabut perjanjian TUHAN itu Asaf dan saudara-saudara sepuaknya untuk tetap melayani di hadapan tabut itu seperti yang patut dilakukan setiap hari;
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 juga Obed-Edom dan saudara-saudara sepuaknya yang enam puluh delapan orang itu; Obed-Edom bin Yedutun dan Hosa adalah penunggu-penunggu pintu gerbang.
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 Tetapi Zadok, imam itu, dan saudara-saudara sepuaknya, para imam, ditinggalkannya di hadapan Kemah Suci TUHAN di bukit pengorbanan yang di Gibeon,
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 supaya pagi dan petang tetap dipersembahkan korban bakaran kepada TUHAN di atas mezbah korban bakaran, dan supaya dikerjakan segala yang tertulis dalam Taurat TUHAN yang diperintahkan-Nya kepada orang Israel.
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 Dan bersama-sama mereka ikut Heman dan Yedutun dan selebihnya dari orang-orang yang terpilih, yang ditunjuk dengan disebut namanya untuk menyanyikan: "Syukur bagi TUHAN. Bahwasanya untuk selama-lamanya kasih setia-Nya."
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 Pada Heman dan Yedutun itu ada nafiri dan ceracap untuk para pemain, juga alat-alat musik pengiring nyanyian untuk Allah. Dan anak-anak Yedutun harus menjaga pintu gerbang.
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].
43 Sesudah itu pergilah seluruh bangsa itu masing-masing ke rumahnya, dan Daud pulang untuk memberi salam kepada seisi rumahnya.
Then all the people left. They returned to their homes, and David returned home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family.
