I Paralipomenon 16

1 adtulerunt igitur arcam Dei et constituerunt eam in medio tabernaculi quod tetenderat ei David et obtulerunt holocausta et pacifica coram Deo

And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God.

2 cumque conplesset David offerens holocausta et pacifica benedixit populo in nomine Domini

And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah.

3 et divisit universis per singulos a viro usque ad mulierem tortam panis et partem assae carnis bubulae et frixam oleo similam

And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion [of flesh], and a cake of raisins.

4 constituitque coram arca Domini de Levitis qui ministrarent et recordarentur operum eius et glorificarent atque laudarent Dominum Deum Israhel

And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate and to thank and praise Jehovah, the God of Israel:

5 Asaph principem et secundum eius Zacchariam porro Iahihel et Semiramoth et Ieihel et Matthathiam et Eliab et Banaiam et Obededom et Ieihel super organa psalterii et lyras Asaph autem ut cymbalis personaret

Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, with psalteries and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;

6 Banaiam vero et Azihel sacerdotes canere tuba iugiter coram arca foederis Domini

and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.

7 in illo die fecit David principem ad confitendum Domino Asaph et fratres eius

Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto Jehovah, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

21 non dimisit quemquam calumniari eos sed increpuit pro eis reges

So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;

and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon,

And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
