I Paralipomenon 16
1 Attulerunt igitur arcam Dei, et constituerunt eam in medio tabernaculi, quod tetenderat ei David: et obtulerunt holocausta, et pacifica coram Deo.
They brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had set up for it: and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
2 Cumque complesset David offerens holocausta, et pacifica, benedixit populo in nomine Domini.
When David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.
3 Et divisit universis per singulos, a viro usque ad mulierem tortam panis, et partem assae carnis bubalae, et frixam oleo similam.
He dealt to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.
4 Constituitque coram arca Domini de Levitis, qui ministrarent, et recordarentur operum eius, et glorificarent, atque laudarent Dominum Deum Israel:
He appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to celebrate and to thank and praise the LORD, the God of Israel:
5 Asaph principem, et secundum eius Zachariam: Porro Iahiel, et Semiramoth, et Iehiel, et Mathathiam, et Eliab, et Banaiam, et Obededom: Iehiel super organa psalterii, et lyras: Asaph autem ut cymbalis personaret;
Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;
6 Banaiam vero, et Iaziel sacerdotes, canere tuba iugiter coram arca foederis Domini.
and Benaiah and Jahaziel the cohanim 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 first ordained to give thanks to the LORD, by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
8 Confitemini Domino, et invocate nomen eius: notas facite in populis adinventiones eius.

9 Cantate ei, et psallite ei: et narrate omnia mirabilia eius.

13 Semen Israel servi eius: filii Iacob electi eius.

He is the LORD our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
15 Recordamini in sempiternum pacti eius: sermonis, quem praecepit in mille generationes.

16 Quem pepigit cum Abraham: et iuramenti illius cum Isaac.
the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
17 Et constituit illud Iacob in praeceptum: et Israel in pactum sempiternum,
He confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 Dicens: Tibi dabo Terram Chanaan, funiculum hereditatis vestrae.
saying, "I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,"
19 Cum essent pauci numero, parvi et coloni eius.
when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners were in it.
20 Et transierunt de gente in gentem, et de regno ad populum alterum.
They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
21 Non dimisit quemquam calumniari eos, sed increpavit pro eis reges.
He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
22 Nolite tangere christos meos: et in prophetis meis nolite malignari.

26 Omnes enim dii populorum, idola: Dominus autem caelos fecit.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
27 Confessio et magnificentia coram eo: fortitudo et gaudium in loco eius.
Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
28 Afferte Domino familiae populorum: afferte Domino gloriam et imperium.

30 Commoveatur a facie eius omnis terra: ipse enim fundavit orbem immobilem.
Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can't be moved.
31 Laetentur caeli, et exultet terra: et dicant in nationibus, Dominus regnavit.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns."
32 Tonet mare, et plenitudo eius: exultent agri, et omnia quae in eis sunt.

Say, "Save us, God of our salvation. Gather us together and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise."

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. And all the people said, "Amen," and praised the LORD.
37 Reliquit itaque ibi coram arca foederis Domini Asaph, et fratres eius ut ministrarent in conspectu arcae iugiter per singulos dies, et vices suas.
So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, Asaph and his brothers, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required;
38 Porro Obededom, et fratres eius sexaginta octo; et Obededom filium Idithun, et Hosa constituit ianitores.
and Obed-Edom with their brothers, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;

and Zadok the cohen, and his brothers the cohanim, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,
40 ut offerrent holocausta Domino super altare holocautomatis iugiter, mane et vesperi, iuxta omnia quae scripta sunt in lege Domini, quam praecepit Israeli.
to offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded to Israel;
41 Et post eum Heman, et Idithun, et reliquos electos, unumquemque vocabulo suo ad confitendum Domino: Quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius.
and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his loving kindness endures forever;
42 Heman quoque, et Idithun canentes tuba, et quatientes cymbala, et omnia musicorum organa ad canendum Domino; filios autem Idithun fecit esse portarios.
and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.
43 Reversusque est omnis populus in domum suam: et David, ut benediceret etiam domui suae.
All the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
