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 spread for it; and they presented burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God.

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

And when David had ended offering up the burnt-offerings 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 measure [of wine] and a raisin-cake.

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 do the service 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 instruments of lutes and with harps; and Asaph sounding with cymbals;

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 David delivered first [this psalm] to give thanks to Jehovah through Asaph and his brethren.

8 confitemini Domino invocate nomen eius notas facite in populis adinventiones illius

Give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known his acts among the peoples.

9 canite ei et psallite et narrate omnia mirabilia eius

13 semen Israhel servi eius filii Iacob electi illius

Ye seed of Israel his servant, Ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.

14 ipse Dominus Deus noster in universa terra iudicia eius

15 recordamini in sempiternum pacti eius sermonis quem praecepit in mille generationes

Be ye ever mindful of his covenant, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations, —

16 quem pepigit cum Abraham et iuramenti illius cum Isaac

Which he made with Abraham, And of his oath unto Isaac;

17 et constituit illud Iacob in praeceptum et Israhel in pactum sempiternum

And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, Unto Israel for an everlasting covenant,

18 dicens tibi dabo terram Chanaan funiculum hereditatis vestrae

Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;

19 cum essent pauci numero parvi et coloni eius

When ye were a few men in number, Of small account, and strangers in it.

20 et transierunt de gente in gentem et de regno ad populum alterum

And they went from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people.

21 non dimisit quemquam calumniari eos sed increpuit pro eis reges

He suffered no man to oppress them, And reproved kings for their sakes,

22 nolite tangere christos meos et in prophetis meis nolite malignari

[Saying, ] Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.

23 canite Domino omnis terra adnuntiate ex die in diem salutare eius

31 laetentur caeli et exultet terra et dicant in nationibus Dominus regnavit

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth!

32 tonet mare et plenitudo eius exultent agri et omnia quae in eis sunt

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; Let the field exult, and all that is therein.

33 tunc laudabunt ligna saltus coram Domino quia venit iudicare terram

Then shall the trees of the forest sing out at the presence of Jehovah, For he cometh to judge the earth.

34 confitemini Domino quoniam bonus quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius

And say, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us, and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, To triumph in thy praise.

36 benedictus Dominus Deus Israhel ab aeterno usque in aeternum et dicat omnis populus amen et hymnus Domino

Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And all the people said, Amen! and praised Jehovah.

And he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Asaph and his brethren, to do the service before the ark continually, as every day's duty required;

38 porro Obededom et fratres eius sexaginta octo et Obededom filium Idithun et Osa constituit ianitores

and Obed-Edom, and their brethren, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah as doorkeepers.

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

40 ut offerrent holocausta Domino super altare holocaustomatis iugiter mane et vespere iuxta omnia quae scripta sunt in lege Domini quam praecepit Israheli

to offer up burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the altar of burnt-offering continually, morning and evening, and according to all that is written in the law of Jehovah, which he commanded Israel;

and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, because his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

42 Heman quoque et Idithun canentes tuba et quatientes cymbala et omnia musicorum organa ad canendum Deo filios autem Idithun fecit esse portarios

and with them, [with] Heman and Jeduthun, trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud; and the musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were at the gate.

43 reversusque est omnis populus in domum suam et David ut benediceret etiam domui suae

And all the people departed every one to his house; and David returned to bless his household.
