1 Chronicles 16
1 They brought the Sacred Chest [to Gibeon] and put it inside the Sacred Tent that David had [told his workers to] set up. Then they brought offerings to be completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to enable them to maintain fellowship [with God].
Tako so prinesli Božjo skrinjo in jo postavili na sredo šotora, ki ga je kralj David postavil zanjo ter pred Bogom darovali žgalne daritve in mirovne daritve.
2 When David had finished presenting all those offerings, he [asked Yahweh to] bless the people.
Ko je David končal žrtvovanje žgalnih daritev in mirovnih daritev, je v Gospodovem imenu blagoslovil ljudstvo.
3 He gave a loaf of bread, some dates, and some raisins to every Israeli man and woman [who was there].
Vsakemu iz Izraela, tako moškemu kakor ženski, vsakemu je razdelil hleb kruha, dober kos mesa in flaškon vina.
4 Then David appointed some of the descendants of Levi to stand in front of [the Sacred Tent in which] the Sacred Chest [had been placed], to lead the people who worshiped and thanked and praised Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people.
Nekatere izmed Lévijevcev je določil, da služijo pred Gospodovo skrinjo in da se spominjajo, se zahvaljujejo in hvalijo Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga:
5 Asaph, who played the cymbals, was their leader. Zechariah was his assistant. The other descendants of Levi [who helped Asaph] were Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel. They played lyres and harps.
vodja Asáfa in poleg njega Zeharjá, Jeiéla, Šemiramóta, Jehiéla, Matitjája, Eliába, Benajája in Obéd Edóma; in Jeiéla s plunkami in harfami, toda Asáf je igral na cimbale;
6 Benaiah and Jahaziel were priests who blew trumpets frequently in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the Sacred Chest.
tudi duhovnika Benajája in Jahaziéla s trobentami nenehno pred skrinjo Božje zaveze.
7 On that day, David gave to Asaph and his helpers this psalm to praise Yahweh:
Potem je na ta dan David prvič izročil ta psalm v roko Asáfa in njegovih bratov, da se zahvalijo Gospodu.
8 Thank God, and pray to him [MTY]. Tell the people of all nations what he has done.
Zahvaljujte se Gospodu, kličite njegovo ime, med ljudstvom razglašajte njegova dela.
9 Sing to him; sing songs to praise him. Tell about all his miraculous deeds.
Prepevajte mu, prepevajte mu psalme, govorite o vseh njegovih čudovitih delih.
10 Be glad that you belong to him [MTY]; those who want to know Yahweh better should rejoice.
Ponašajte se z njegovim svetim imenom. Naj se veseli srce tistih, ki iščejo Gospoda.
11 Trust in Yahweh and in his power; continually seek to get help from him.
Iščite Gospoda in njegovo moč, neprenehoma iščite njegov obraz.
12 Do not forget the wonderful things that he has done, the miracles and the just laws that he has given to us.
Spominjajte se njegovih čudovitih del, ki jih je storil, njegovih čudežev in sodb njegovih ust;
13 We people are the descendants of his servant Jacob; we are the people of Israel whom he has chosen.
oh vi seme Izraela, njegovega služabnika, vi Jakobovi otroci, njegovi izbranci.
14 Yahweh is our God. His just/fair laws are known by people throughout the world.
On je Gospod, naš Bog, njegove sodbe so po vsej zemlji.
15 He never forgets the agreement that he has made: he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations.
Vedno se zavedajte njegove zaveze, besede, katero je zapovedal tisočim rodovom,
16 That is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement to Isaac.
celo zaveze, ki jo je sklenil z Abrahamom in njegove prisege Izaku
17 It was an agreement for the Israeli people, and he wanted that agreement to endure forever.
in isto je potrdil Jakobu za zakon in Izraelu za večno zavezo,
18 What he said was, “I will give the Canaan region to you, to belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
rekoč: »Tebi bom dal kánaansko deželo, žreb vaše dediščine, «
19 [He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land (like strangers/that belonged to other people);
ko vas je bilo le malo, celo peščica in tujci v njej.
20 they continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
Ko so hodili od naroda k narodu in od enega kraljestva k drugemu ljudstvu,
21 But he did not allow others to oppress them, and he warned kings by saying to them,
nobenemu človeku ni pustil, da jim stori krivico; da, zaradi njih je grajal kralje,
22 “Do not harm the people whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
rekoč: »Ne dotikajte se mojih maziljencev in mojim prerokom ne delajte hudega.«
23 You people throughout the world, sing to Yahweh. Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved us.
Poj Gospodu, vsa zemlja, iz dneva v dan naznanjaj njegovo rešitev duše.
24 Tell the people of the nations that he is great; tell all the people-groups the marvelous things [that he has done].
Oznanjajte njegovo slavo med pogani, njegova čudovita dela med vsemi narodi.
25 Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much. He should be revered more than all the gods,
Kajti velik je Gospod in silno naj bo hvaljen. Njega se je treba bati nad vsemi bogovi.
26 because all the gods that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only idols, but Yahweh [is truly great; he] created the skies.
Kajti vsi bogovi ljudstva so maliki, toda Gospod je naredil nebesa.
27 He is glorious and majestic; his power and joy fill his Sacred Tent.
Slava in čast sta v njegovi prisotnosti, moč in veselje sta na njegovem kraju.
28 You people in nations all over the world, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
Dajajte Gospodu, ve sorodstva ljudstev, dajajte Gospodu slavo in moč.
29 Praise Yahweh like he [MTY] deserves to be praised. Bring an offering and come to his Sacred Tent. Worship Yahweh because he is holy.
Dajajte Gospodu slavo, primerno njegovemu imenu, prinesite daritev in pridite predenj. Obožujte Gospoda v lepoti svetosti.
30 Everyone on the earth should tremble in front of Yahweh. He put the earth firmly [in its place]; and nothing ever will be able to move/shake it.
Boj se pred njim, vsa zemlja. Tudi zemeljski [krog] bo trden, ki ne bo omajan.
31 Everything in the sky and on the earth should be happy. People [everywhere] should say, “Yahweh is our king!”
Naj bodo nebesa vesela in naj se zemlja veseli, in ljudje naj govorijo med narodi: » Gospod kraljuje.«
32 The oceans and all the creatures that are in the oceans should shout to praise him; the fields and everything that is in them should rejoice.
Naj buči morje in njegova polnost. Naj se polja veselijo in vse, kar je na njih.
33 When they do that, [it will be as though] the trees in the forest will sing joyfully in front of Yahweh. That will happen when he comes to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth.
Potem bodo gozdna drevesa prepevala ob Gospodovi prisotnosti, ker on prihaja, da sodi zemljo.
34 Thank Yahweh, because [everything that he does is] good. He faithfully loves us forever.
Oh zahvaljujte se Gospodu, ker je dober, kajti njegovo usmiljenje traja za vedno.
35 Say to him, “God, you are the one who rescues us, so gather us together and save us from [the armies of] other nations. When you do that, we will thank you [MTY], and we will be happy to praise you.”
Recite: »Reši nas, oh Bog rešitve naših duš, zberi nas skupaj in nas osvobodi pred pogani, da se bomo lahko zahvaljevali tvojemu svetemu imenu in slavili v tvoji hvali.
36 Praise Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people, He has always existed, and he will exist forever. After the people [finished singing that song], they all said, “(Amen/May it be so)!”, and they praised Yahweh.
Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Izraelov Bog na veke vekov.« In vse ljudstvo je reklo: »Amen« in hvalilo Gospoda.
37 Then David left Asaph and the other members of his clan there in front of [the tent in which] Yahweh’s Sacred Chest [had been placed]. He told them that they must do their work there every day.
Tako je tam, pred skrinjo Gospodove zaveze, pustil Asáfa in njegove brate, da nenehno služijo pred skrinjo, kakor je zahtevalo vsakodnevno delo,
38 David also left Obed-Edom and 68 other descendants of Levi to work with them. Hosah and Obed-Edom guarded [the entrances of the Sacred Tent].
in Obéd Edóma z oseminšestdesetimi njihovimi brati; tudi Jedutúnovega sina Obéd Edóma in Hosája, da bosta vratarja;
39 David also told Zadok the [Supreme] Priest and the other priests who worked with him to remain in front of Yahweh’s Sacred Tent, which was still at the place where the Israeli people worshiped [God there] in Gibeon [city].
in duhovnika Cadóka in njegove brate duhovnike pred Gospodovim šotorskim svetiščem na visokem kraju, ki je bil pri Gibeónu,
40 Every morning and every evening they burned offerings on the altar, obeying the rules/laws that had been written [by Moses], rules/laws which Yahweh had given to the Israeli people.
da darujejo žgalne daritve Gospodu na oltarju, nenehne žgalne daritve, jutranje in večerne in da storijo glede na vse, kar je pisano v Gospodovi postavi, ki jo je zapovedal Izraelu;
41 With them were Heman and Jeduthun and other descendants of Levi. They [MTY] were chosen to sing songs to praise Yahweh because he faithfully loves his people forever.
in z njimi Hemána, Jedutúna in druge, ki so bili izbrani, ki so bili določeni po imenu, da se zahvaljujejo Gospodu, ker njegovo usmiljenje traja večno;
42 Heman and Jeduthun were appointed to play the trumpets and cymbals when [the other descendants of Levi sang sacred songs]. The sons of Jeduthun were appointed to guard the gates [of the Sacred Tent].
in z njimi Hemána in Jedutúna s trobentami in cimbalami za tiste, da bi igrali in z Božjimi glasbenimi instrumenti. Jedutúnovi sinovi pa so bili vratarji.
43 Then all the people left. They returned to their homes, and David returned home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family.
In vse ljudstvo je odšlo vsak človek k svoji hiši, in David se je vrnil, da blagoslovi svojo hišo.
