I Paralipomenon 16

1 Attulerunt igitur arcam Dei, et constituerunt eam in medio tabernaculi, quod tetenderat ei David: et obtulerunt holocausta, et pacifica coram Deo.

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 Cumque complesset David offerens holocausta, et pacifica, benedixit populo in nomine Domini.

And David finished offering up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings, and blessed the people in the name of the Lord.

3 Et divisit universis per singulos, a viro usque ad mulierem tortam panis, et partem assae carnis bubalae, et frixam oleo similam.

And he divided to every man of Israel (both men and women), to [every] man one baker's loaf, and a cake.

4 Constituitque coram arca Domini de Levitis, qui ministrarent, et recordarentur operum eius, et glorificarent, atque laudarent Dominum Deum Israel:

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 Asaph principem, et secundum eius Zachariam: Porro Iahiel, et Semiramoth, et Iehiel, et Mathathiam, et Eliab, et Banaiam, et Obededom: Iehiel super organa psalterii, et lyras: Asaph autem ut cymbalis personaret;

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 Banaiam vero, et Iaziel sacerdotes, canere tuba iugiter coram arca foederis Domini.

and Banaeas and Oziel the priests [sounding] continually with trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God in that day.

7 In illo die fecit David principem ad confitendum Domino Asaph, et fratres eius.
