1 Chronicles 16
1 So they brought in the ark of God, and placed it in the midst of the tent, which David had pitched for it, —and they brought near ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings, before God.
Peti Perjanjian itu diletakkan di dalam kemah yang telah disediakan oleh Daud untuk Peti itu. Lalu mereka mempersembahkan kepada Allah kurban bakaran dan kurban perdamaian.
2 And, when David had made an end of offering the ascending-sacrifices, and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people, in the name of Yahweh.
Setelah Daud selesai mempersembahkan kurban-kurban itu, ia memberkati rakyat atas nama TUHAN,
3 And he apportioned, to every one of Israel, both man and woman, —to every one, a loaf of bread, and a sweet drink, and a raisin cake.
lalu membagi-bagikan makanan kepada mereka semua. Setiap orang yang ada di situ baik laki-laki maupun wanita mendapat sepotong daging panggang, roti dan kue kismis.
4 And he placed before the ark of Yahweh certain of the Levites, as attendants, —and to celebrate, and to give thanks and render praise, unto Yahweh, God of Israel;
Daud mengangkat beberapa orang Lewi untuk memimpin upacara ibadat kepada TUHAN, Allah Israel, di depan Peti Perjanjian itu, dengan nyanyian dan puji-pujian.
5 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 harps, and with lyres, and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud:
Asaf dipilih sebagai pemimpin utama dan Zakharia wakilnya. Yeiel, Semiramot, Yehiel, Matica, Eliab, Benaya, Obed-Edom dan Yeiel ditugaskan untuk memainkan kecapi. Asaf ditugaskan memainkan simbal,
6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel, the priests, —with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
dan dua orang imam, yaitu Benaya dan Yahaziel, ditugaskan untuk secara tetap meniup trompet di depan Peti Perjanjian itu.
7 On that day, then, David gave [these songs] in chief, to give thanks unto Yahweh, —through Asaph, and his brethren: —
Itulah pertama kalinya Daud menugaskan Asaf dan rekan-rekannya untuk menyanyikan puji-pujian kepada TUHAN.
8 Give ye thanks to Yahweh, Call upon his name, Make known among the peoples, his doings;
Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, wartakanlah kebesaran-Nya, ceritakanlah perbuatan-Nya di antara bangsa-bangsa.
9 Sing ye to him, Make music unto him, Speak ye of all his wonders.
Nyanyikanlah pujian bagi TUHAN, beritakanlah segala karya-Nya yang menakjubkan.
10 Boast yourselves in his holy name, Joyful be the heart of them who are seeking Yahweh.
Dialah TUHAN Yang Mahaesa; bersukacitalah, sebab kita milik-Nya; semua yang menyembah Dia hendaklah bergembira.
11 Search out Yahweh, and his power, Seek diligently his face, at all times.
Mintalah kekuatan daripada-Nya, sembahlah Dia senantiasa.
12 Remember his wonders which he hath done, His splendid deeds, and the just decisions of his mouth.
Hai keturunan Yakub, hamba Allah! Hai keturunan Israel, umat pilihan-Nya! Ingatlah semua keajaiban yang dilakukan-Nya, jangan melupakan keputusan-keputusan-Nya.
13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, sons of Jacob his chosen ones:
14 Yahweh himself, is our God, through all the land, are his just decisions.
TUHAN adalah Allah kita, keputusan-Nya berlaku di seluruh dunia.
15 Remember yea to times age-abiding, his covenant, the word he hath commanded, to a thousand generations;
Ia selalu ingat akan perjanjian-Nya, janji-Nya berlaku selama-lamanya.
16 Which he solemnised with Abraham, and his oath, to Isaac;
Perjanjian itu dibuat-Nya dengan Abraham, dan kemudian dengan Ishak,
17 And confirmed it, unto Jacob, for a statute, unto Israel, as a covenant age-abiding:
lalu dikukuhkan dengan Yakub menjadi perjanjian yang kekal bagi umat Israel.
18 Saying, To thee, will I give the land of Canaan, as your inherited portion:
Kata-Nya, "Tanah Kanaan akan Kuberikan kepadamu menjadi milik pusakamu."
19 While, as yet, ye were men who could be counted, a very few, and sojourners therein:
Dahulu umat TUHAN hidup sebagai orang asing di sana jumlah mereka sedikit saja.
20 And they wandered from nation to nation, and from one kingdom, to another people:
Mereka mengembara dari bangsa ke bangsa, pindah dari satu negeri ke negeri lainnya.
21 He suffered no man to oppress them, And reproved—for their sakes—kings!
Tetapi TUHAN tidak membiarkan siapa pun menindas mereka; demi mereka, raja-raja diperingatkan-Nya,
22 Ye may not touch mine Anointed ones, And, to my Prophets, may ye do no wrong.
"Jangan mengganggu orang-orang pilihan-Ku, jangan berbuat jahat kepada nabi-nabi-Ku."
23 Sing to Yahweh, all the earth, Tell the tidings, from day to day, of his salvation:
Nyanyilah bagi TUHAN, hai bumi seluruhnya, setiap hari siarkanlah kabar gembira bahwa Ia telah menyelamatkan kita.
24 Recount, among the nations, his glory, among all the peoples, his wonders.
Ceritakan keagungan-Nya kepada bangsa-bangsa, dan perbuatan-perbuatan-Nya yang perkasa kepada umat manusia.
25 For great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, and to be revered is he above all gods;
Sebab besarlah TUHAN dan sangat terpuji; Ia harus ditakuti lebih dari segala dewa.
26 For, all the gods of the peoples, are things of nought, but, Yahweh, made, the heavens.
Dewa-dewa bangsa lain hanya patung berhala tetapi TUHAN adalah pencipta angkasa raya.
27 Praise and majesty, are before him, Strength and joy, are in his dwelling-place.
Ia diliputi keagungan dan kemuliaan, rumah-Nya penuh kuasa dan sukacita.
28 Give to Yahweh, ye families of the peoples, Give to Yahweh, glory and strength:
Pujilah TUHAN, hai umat manusia! Pujilah keagungan dan kekuatan-Nya.
29 Give to Yahweh, the glory of his name, —Bring ye a present, and enter before him, Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness:
Pujilah nama-Nya yang mulia, dan bawalah kurban ke dalam rumah-Nya. Sembahlah TUHAN dengan mengenakan pakaian ibadat!
30 Tremble at his presence, all the earth, But the world, shall be established, it shall not be shaken.
Gemetarlah di hadapan-Nya, hai seluruh dunia! Bumi kukuh tidak tergoyahkan.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult, Let them say among the nations, Yahweh, hath become king!
Hai langit dan bumi, bergembiralah! Beritakanlah kepada bangsa-bangsa bahwa TUHAN itu Raja!
32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof, Let the field leap for joy, and all that is therein:
Bergemuruhlah hai laut dan semua isinya! Bersukacitalah hai padang dan segala tanamannya!
33 Then, shall shout in triumph, the trees of the forest, before Yahweh, for he is coming, to judge the earth.
Pohon-pohon di hutan akan bersorak-sorai sebab TUHAN telah datang untuk memerintah di bumi.
34 Give ye thanks unto Yahweh, For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
Bersyukurlah kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia baik; kasih-Nya kekal abadi.
35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us and deliver us, from among the nations, —that we may give thanks unto thy holy name, that we may triumph aloud in thy praise.
Katakanlah, "Ya Allah, Penyelamat kami, selamatkanlah kami dari kekuasaan bangsa-bangsa dan kumpulkanlah kami kembali supaya kami dapat bersyukur dan memuji nama-Mu yang suci!"
36 Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, from one age even to another age. Then said all the people, Amen, And gave praise to Yahweh.
Pujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, sekarang dan selama-lamanya! Kemudian seluruh umat Israel berkata, "Amin", lalu mereka memuji TUHAN.
37 So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, Asaph and his brethren, —to be in attendance before the ark continually, for the duty of a day on its day;
Kemudian Raja Daud menugaskan Asaf dan orang-orang Lewi lainnya untuk tetap mengurus hal-hal yang bersangkutan dengan ibadat di tempat di mana Peti Perjanjian TUHAN disimpan. Setiap hari mereka harus bertugas di situ,
38 and Obed-edom with his brethren, sixty-eight, —and Obed-edom son of Jedithun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
dibantu oleh Obed-Edom anak Yedutun, serta 68 orang lainnya yang sekaum dengan dia. Obed-Edom dan Hosa adalah pengawal pintu-pintu gerbang.
39 and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the habitation of Yahweh, —in the high place that was in Gibeon:
Tetapi Zadok dan imam-imam lainnya ditugaskan untuk tetap mengurus ibadat di tempat ibadat di Gibeon.
40 to offer ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, upon the altar of ascending-sacrifice, —continually, morning and evening, —even according to all that is written in the law of Yahweh, which he commanded concerning Israel;
Setiap pagi dan petang mereka harus mempersembahkan kurban bakaran di atas mezbah sesuai dengan hukum-hukum yang diberikan TUHAN kepada orang Israel.
41 and, with them, Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest of the chosen ones, who were distinguished by name, —to give thanks unto Yahweh, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness!
Imam Zadok dan imam-imam itu dibantu oleh Heman dan Yedutun serta orang-orang lain yang khusus dipilih untuk menyanyikan pujian bagi TUHAN karena kasih-Nya yang kekal abadi.
42 And, with them, Heman and Jeduthun, [with] the trumpets, and the cymbals, for sounding aloud, and the instruments for the songs of God, —and the sons of Jeduthun, for the gate.
Heman dan Yedutun juga bertugas atas trompet, simbal dan alat musik lainnya yang dimainkan untuk mengiringi nyanyian-nyanyian pujian. Anggota-anggota kaum Yedutun ditugaskan untuk menjaga pintu-pintu gerbang.
43 And all the people departed, every man to his house, —and David went round, to bless his own household.
Kemudian pulanglah semua orang ke rumahnya masing-masing. Begitu pula Daud pulang untuk menengok keluarganya.
