1 Chronicles 16
1 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.
| וַיָּבִ֙יאוּ֙ אֶת־אֲרֹ֣ון הֽ͏ָאֱלֹהִ֔ים וַיַּצִּ֣יגוּ אֹתֹ֔ו בְּתֹ֣וךְ הָאֹ֔הֶל אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָֽטָה־לֹ֖ו דָּוִ֑יד וַיַּקְרִ֛יבוּ עֹלֹ֥ות וּשְׁלָמִ֖ים לִפְנֵ֥י הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
2 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.
| וַיְכַ֣ל דָּוִ֔יד מֵהַעֲלֹ֥ות הָעֹלָ֖ה וְהַשְּׁלָמִ֑ים וַיְבָ֥רֶךְ אֶת־הָעָ֖ם בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָֽה׃ |
3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon [of wine].
| וַיְחַלֵּק֙ לְכָל־אִ֣ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מֵאִ֖ישׁ וְעַד־אִשָּׁ֑ה לְאִישׁ֙ כִּכַּר־לֶ֔חֶם וְאֶשְׁפָּ֖ר וַאֲשִׁישָֽׁה׃ |
4 And he appointed [certain] of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel:
| וַיִּתֵּ֞ן לִפְנֵ֨י אֲרֹ֧ון יְהוָ֛ה מִן־הַלְוִיִּ֖ם מְשָׁרְתִ֑ים וּלְהַזְכִּיר֙ וּלְהֹודֹ֣ות וּלְהַלֵּ֔ל לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ פ |
5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;
| אָסָ֥ף הָרֹ֖אשׁ וּמִשְׁנֵ֣הוּ זְכַרְיָ֑ה יְעִיאֵ֡ל וּשְׁמִֽירָמֹ֡ות וִֽיחִיאֵ֡ל וּמַתִּתְיָ֡ה וֶאֱלִיאָ֡ב וּבְנָיָהוּ֩ וְעֹבֵ֨ד אֱדֹ֜ם וֽ͏ִיעִיאֵ֗ל בִּכְלֵ֤י נְבָלִים֙ וּבְכִנֹּרֹ֔ות וְאָסָ֖ף בַּֽמְצִלְתַּ֥יִם מַשְׁמִֽיעַ׃ |
6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
| וּבְנָיָ֥הוּ וְיַחֲזִיאֵ֖ל הַכֹּהֲנִ֑ים בַּחֲצֹצְרֹ֣ות תָּמִ֔יד לִפְנֵ֖י אֲרֹ֥ון בְּרִית־הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
7 Then on that day David delivered first [this psalm] to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
| בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֗וּא אָ֣ז נָתַ֤ן דָּוִיד֙ בָּרֹ֔אשׁ לְהֹדֹ֖ות לַיהוָ֑ה בְּיַד־אָסָ֖ף וְאֶחָֽיו׃ פ |
8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
| הֹוד֤וּ לַֽיהוָה֙ קִרְא֣וּ בִשְׁמֹ֔ו הֹודִ֥יעוּ בָעַמִּ֖ים עֲלִילֹתָֽיו׃ |
9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
| שִׁ֤ירוּ לֹו֙ זַמְּרוּ־לֹ֔ו שִׂ֖יחוּ בְּכָל־נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃ |
10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
| הִֽתְהֽ͏ַלְלוּ֙ בְּשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֹׁ֔ו יִשְׂמַ֕ח לֵ֖ב מְבַקְשֵׁ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ |
11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
| דִּרְשׁ֤וּ יְהוָה֙ וְעֻזֹּ֔ו בַּקְּשׁ֥וּ פָנָ֖יו תָּמִֽיד׃ |
12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
| זִכְר֗וּ נִפְלְאֹתָיו֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֔ה מֹפְתָ֖יו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיהוּ׃ |
13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
| זֶ֚רַע יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל עַבְדֹּ֔ו בְּנֵ֥י יַעֲקֹ֖ב בְּחִירָֽיו׃ |
14 He [is] the LORD our God; his judgments [are] in all the earth.
| ה֚וּא יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֔ינוּ בְּכָל־הָאָ֖רֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃ |
15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word [which] he commanded to a thousand generations;
| זִכְר֤וּ לְעֹולָם֙ בְּרִיתֹ֔ו דָּבָ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה לְאֶ֥לֶף דֹּֽור׃ |
16 [Even of the covenant] which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
| אֲשֶׁ֤ר כָּרַת֙ אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֔ם וּשְׁבוּעָתֹ֖ו לְיִצְחָֽק׃ |
17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, [and] to Israel [for] an everlasting covenant,
| וַיַּעֲמִידֶ֤הָ לְיַעֲקֹב֙ לְחֹ֔ק לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּרִ֥ית עֹולָֽם׃ |
18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
| לֵאמֹ֗ר לְךָ֙ אֶתֵּ֣ן אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָ֔עַן חֶ֖בֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃ |
19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
| בִּֽהְיֹֽותְכֶם֙ מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֔ר כִּמְעַ֖ט וְגָרִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃ |
20 And [when] they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to another people;
| וַיִּֽתְהַלְּכוּ֙ מִגֹּ֣וי אֶל־גֹּ֔וי וּמִמַּמְלָכָ֖ה אֶל־עַ֥ם אַחֵֽר׃ |
21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
| לֹא־הִנִּ֤יחַ לְאִישׁ֙ לְעָשְׁקָ֔ם וַיֹּ֥וכַח עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם מְלָכִֽים׃ |
22 [Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
| אַֽל־תִּגְּעוּ֙ בִּמְשִׁיחָ֔י וּבִנְבִיאַ֖י אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ׃ פ |
23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.
| שִׁ֤ירוּ לַֽיהוָה֙ כָּל־הָאָ֔רֶץ בַּשְּׂר֥וּ מִיֹּֽום־אֶל־יֹ֖ום יְשׁוּעָתֹֽו׃ |
24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.
| סַפְּר֤וּ בַגֹּויִם֙ אֶת־כְּבֹודֹ֔ו בְּכָל־הָעַמִּ֖ים נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃ |
25 For great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also [is] to be feared above all gods.
| כִּי֩ גָדֹ֨ול יְהוָ֤ה וּמְהֻלָּל֙ מְאֹ֔ד וְנֹורָ֥א ה֖וּא עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
26 For all the gods of the people [are] idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
| כִּ֠י כָּל־אֱלֹהֵ֤י הָעַמִּים֙ אֱלִילִ֔ים וַיהוָ֖ה שָׁמַ֥יִם עָשָֽׂה׃ |
27 Glory and honour [are] in his presence; strength and gladness [are] in his place.
| הֹ֤וד וְהָדָר֙ לְפָנָ֔יו עֹ֥ז וְחֶדְוָ֖ה בִּמְקֹמֹֽו׃ |
28 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
| הָב֤וּ לַֽיהוָה֙ מִשְׁפְּחֹ֣ות עַמִּ֔ים הָב֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה כָּבֹ֥וד וָעֹֽז׃ |
29 Give unto the LORD the glory [due] unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
| הָב֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה כְּבֹ֣וד שְׁמֹ֑ו שְׂא֤וּ מִנְחָה֙ וּבֹ֣אוּ לְפָנָ֔יו הִשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה בְּהַדְרַת־קֹֽדֶשׁ׃ |
30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
| חִ֤ילוּ מִלְּפָנָיו֙ כָּל־הָאָ֔רֶץ אַף־תִּכֹּ֥ון תֵּבֵ֖ל בַּל־תִּמֹּֽוט׃ |
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let [men] say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.
| יִשְׂמְח֤וּ הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְתָגֵ֣ל הָאָ֔רֶץ וְיֹאמְר֥וּ בַגֹּויִ֖ם יְהוָ֥ה מָלָֽךְ׃ |
32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that [is] therein.
| יִרְעַ֤ם הַיָּם֙ וּמְלֹואֹ֔ו יַעֲלֹ֥ץ הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־בֹּֽו׃ |
33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.
| אָ֥ז יְרַנְּנ֖וּ עֲצֵ֣י הַיָּ֑עַר מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה כִּי־בָ֖א לִשְׁפֹּ֥וט אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
| הֹוד֤וּ לַיהוָה֙ כִּ֣י טֹ֔וב כִּ֥י לְעֹולָ֖ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃ |
35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, [and] glory in thy praise.
| וְאִמְר֕וּ הֹושִׁיעֵ֙נוּ֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעֵ֔נוּ וְקַבְּצֵ֥נוּ וְהַצִּילֵ֖נוּ מִן־הַגֹּויִ֑ם לְהֹדֹות֙ לְשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֶׁ֔ךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּ֖חַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃ |
36 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.
| בָּר֤וּךְ יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מִן־הָעֹולָ֖ם וְעַ֣ד הָעֹלָ֑ם וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ כָל־הָעָם֙ אָמֵ֔ן וְהַלֵּ֖ל לַֽיהוָֽה׃ פ |
37 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required:
| וַיַּֽעֲזָב־שָׁ֗ם לִפְנֵי֙ אֲרֹ֣ון בְּרִית־יְהוָ֔ה לְאָסָ֖ף וּלְאֶחָ֑יו לְשָׁרֵ֞ת לִפְנֵ֧י הָאָרֹ֛ון תָּמִ֖יד לִדְבַר־יֹ֥ום בְּיֹומֹֽו׃ |
38 And Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah [to be] porters:
| וְעֹבֵ֥ד אֱדֹ֛ם וַאֲחֵיהֶ֖ם שִׁשִּׁ֣ים וּשְׁמֹונָ֑ה וְעֹבֵ֨ד אֱדֹ֧ם בֶּן־יְדִית֛וּן וְחֹסָ֖ה לְשֹׁעֲרִֽים׃ |
39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that [was] at Gibeon,
| וְאֵ֣ת ׀ צָדֹ֣וק הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְאֶחָיו֙ הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים לִפְנֵ֖י מִשְׁכַּ֣ן יְהוָ֑ה בַּבָּמָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּגִבְעֹֽון׃ |
40 To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and [to do] according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel;
| לֽ͏ְהַעֲלֹות֩ עֹלֹ֨ות לַיהוָ֜ה עַל־מִזְבַּ֧ח הָעֹלָ֛ה תָּמִ֖יד לַבֹּ֣קֶר וְלָעָ֑רֶב וּלְכָל־הַכָּתוּב֙ בְּתֹורַ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
41 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy [endureth] for ever;
| וְעִמָּהֶם֙ הֵימָ֣ן וִֽידוּת֔וּן וּשְׁאָר֙ הַבְּרוּרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר נִקְּב֖וּ בְּשֵׁמֹ֑ות לְהֹדֹות֙ לַֽיהוָ֔ה כִּ֥י לְעֹולָ֖ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃ |
42 And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun [were] porters.
| וְעִמָּהֶם֩ הֵימָ֨ן וִֽידוּת֜וּן חֲצֹצְרֹ֤ות וּמְצִלְתַּ֙יִם֙ לְמַשְׁמִיעִ֔ים וּכְלֵ֖י שִׁ֣יר הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וּבְנֵ֥י יְדוּת֖וּן לַשָּֽׁעַר׃ |
43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
| וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ כָל־הָעָ֖ם אִ֣ישׁ לְבֵיתֹ֑ו וַיִּסֹּ֥ב דָּוִ֖יד לְבָרֵ֥ךְ אֶת־בֵּיתֹֽו׃ פ |
