1 Chronicles 16

1 So they brought the ark of God and placed it inside the tent that David had pitched for it. And they presented burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.

1 众人把上帝的约柜抬进去，安放在大卫所搭的帐幕里，然后在上帝面前献上燔祭和平安祭。

2 When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.

2 大卫献上燔祭和平安祭后，就奉耶和华的名给民众祝福，

3 Then he distributed to every man and woman of Israel a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake.

3 又给所有以色列人，不论男女，每人一个饼、一块肉和一个葡萄饼。

4 David appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, to celebrate, to give thanks, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel.

4 大卫指派一些利未人在耶和华的约柜前事奉，颂扬、称谢和赞美以色列的上帝耶和华。

5 Asaph was the chief, Zechariah was second, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel. They were to play the harps and lyres, while Asaph sounded the cymbals

5 为首的是亚萨，其次是撒迦利雅、雅薛、示米拉末、耶歇、玛他提雅、以利押、比拿雅、俄别·以东和耶利，他们鼓瑟弹琴，亚萨敲钹。

6 and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blew the trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God.

6 比拿雅和雅哈悉两位祭司在上帝的约柜前吹号。

7 On that day David first committed to Asaph and his associates this song of thanksgiving to the LORD:

7 那一天，大卫初次指派亚萨和他的亲族唱诗歌颂耶和华，说：

8 “Give thanks to the LORD; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.

8 “你们要称谢耶和华， 呼求祂的名， 在列邦传扬祂的作为。

9 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.

9 要歌颂、赞美祂， 述说祂一切奇妙的作为。

10 Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

10 要以祂的圣名为荣， 愿寻求耶和华的人心中快乐。

11 Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.

11 要寻求耶和华和祂的能力， 时常来到祂面前。

12 Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,

12–13 祂仆人以色列的后裔啊， 祂所拣选的雅各的子孙啊， 要记住祂所行的神迹奇事和祂口中的判词。

13 O offspring of His servant Israel, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

14 He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.

14 “祂是我们的上帝耶和华， 祂在普天下施行审判。

15 Remember His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—

15 要永远铭记祂的约， 历经千代也不可忘记祂的应许，

16 the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.

16 就是祂与亚伯拉罕所立的约， 向以撒所起的誓。

17 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

17 祂将这约定为律例赐给雅各， 定为永远的约赐给以色列。

18 ‘I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.’

18 祂说，‘我必把迦南赐给你， 作为你的产业。’

19 When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,

19 “那时他们人丁稀少， 寥寥可数，在当地寄居，

20 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

20 他们在异国他乡流离飘零。

21 He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:

21 耶和华不容人压迫他们， 还为他们的缘故责备君王，

22 ‘Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!’

22 说，‘不可加害我膏立的人， 也不可伤害我的先知。’

23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth. Proclaim His salvation day after day.

23 “普世都要歌颂耶和华， 天天传扬祂的救恩；

24 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

24 要在列国述说祂的荣耀， 在万民中述说祂的奇妙作为。

25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

25 因为耶和华无比伟大， 当受至高的颂扬； 祂超越一切神明， 当受敬畏。

26 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens.

26 列邦的神明都是假的， 唯独耶和华创造了诸天。

27 Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy fill His dwelling.

27 祂带着尊贵和威严， 祂的圣所充满能力和喜乐。

28 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

28 “万族万民啊， 要把荣耀和能力归给耶和华， 归给耶和华！

29 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him. Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness;

29 要将耶和华之名当得的荣耀归给祂， 要将供物献给祂， 要穿圣衣敬拜耶和华 。

30 tremble before Him, all the earth. The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.

30 大地要在祂面前颤抖； 世界坚立不摇。

31 Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice. Let them say among the nations, ‘The LORD reigns!’

31 愿天欢喜，愿地快乐； 愿他们在列国宣告， ‘耶和华执掌王权！’

32 Let the sea resound, and all that fills it; let the fields exult, and all that is in them.

32 愿海洋和其中的万物都欢呼， 愿田野和其中的一切都欢腾！

33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for He is coming to judge the earth.

33 那时，林中的树木都要在耶和华面前欢唱， 因为祂要来审判天下。

34 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.

34 你们要称谢耶和华， 因为祂是美善的， 祂的慈爱永远长存！

35 Then cry out: ‘Save us, O God of our salvation; gather and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, that we may glory in Your praise.’

35 “要说，‘拯救我们的上帝啊， 求你拯救我们，招聚我们， 把我们从列国中救出来， 我们好称谢你的圣名， 以赞美你为荣。’

36 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.” Then all the people said, “Amen!” and “Praise the LORD!”

36 以色列的上帝耶和华永永远远当受称颂！” 众民都说：“阿们！” 并赞美耶和华。

37 So David left Asaph and his associates there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to minister there regularly according to the daily requirements,

37 大卫派亚萨及其亲族天天在约柜前事奉耶和华，尽当尽的职分；

38 along with Obed-edom and his sixty-eight relatives. Obed-edom son of Jeduthun, and also Hosah, were to be gatekeepers.

38 又派俄别·以东及其六十八位亲族、何萨和耶杜顿的儿子俄别·以东守门；

39 And David left Zadok the priest and his fellow priests before the tabernacle of the LORD at the high place in Gibeon

39 并派祭司撒督及其他祭司在基遍丘坛的耶和华的圣幕前供职，

40 to regularly present burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offerings, morning and evening, according to all that was written in the Law of the LORD, which He had commanded Israel to keep.

40 按照耶和华在律法书上对以色列人的吩咐，每日早晚在祭坛上献燔祭给耶和华。

41 With them were Heman, Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the LORD, for “His loving devotion endures forever.”

41 与他们一同供职的有希幔、耶杜顿和其他人，他们被特别选出来称谢上帝，因为祂的慈爱永远长存。

42 Heman and Jeduthun had with them trumpets and cymbals for the music and instruments for the songs of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were stationed at the gate.

42 希幔和耶杜顿负责用号、钹及其他乐器伴奏歌颂上帝。耶杜顿的子孙负责守门。

43 Then all the people departed for their homes, and David returned home to bless his household.

43 于是，众民各自回家，大卫也回去为家人祝福。
