1 و َأدخَلُوا صُنْدُوقَ اللهِ، وَوَضَعُوهُ داخِلَ الخَيمَةِ الَّتِي نَصَبَها داوُدُ لَهُ. وَذَبَحُوا ذَبائِحَ صاعِدَةً وَتَقْدِماتِ سَلامٍ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ.

And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God.

2 و َلَمّا أكمَلَ داوُدُ تَقْدِيمَ الذَّبائِحِ الصّاعِدَةِ وَذَبائِحَ السَّلامِ، بارَكَ الشَّعبَ بِاسْمِ اللهِ.

And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah.

3 و َوَزَّعَ عَلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ وَامْرَأةٍ مِنْ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ رَغِيفَ خُبْزٍ وَكَعْكَ تَمْرٍ وَكَعْكَ زَبِيبٍ.

And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion of flesh, and a cake of raisins.

4 و َعَيَّنَ بَعْضَ الَّلاوِيِّينَ لِيَخدِمُوا كَخُدّامٍ أمامَ صُنْدُوقِ عَهْدِ اللهِ لِكَي يُذِيعَوُا، وَيَشْكُرُوا، وَيُسَبِّحُوا اللهَ ، إلَهَ إسْرائِيلَ.

And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate and to thank and praise Jehovah, the God of Israel:

5 و َكانَ آسافُ يَقُودُ فِرْقَةَ التَّسْبِيحِ، وَزَكَرِيّا يُساعِدَهُ. بَيْنَما يُعْزِفُ يَعْزِيئِيلُ وَشَمِيرامُوثُ وَيَحِيئِيلُ وَمَتَّثْيا وَألِيآبُ وَبَنايا وَعُوبِيدُ أدُومُ وَيَعِيئِيلُ بِرَبابٍ وَقَياثِيرَ. وَيَضْرِبُ آسافَ الصُّنُوجَ.

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 psalteries and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;

6 و َيَنْفُخُ بَنايا وَيَحَزْيئِيلُ الأبْواقَ بانْتِظامٍ أمامَ صُنْدُوقِ عَهْدِ اللهِ. مَزْمُورُ شُكْرٍ لِداوُد

and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.

7 و َفِي ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ نَظَمَ داوُدُ مَزْمُورَ شُكْرٍ للهِ عَزَفَهُ آسافُ وَأقْرِباؤُهُ:

Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto Jehovah, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

8 ا حمَدُوا اللهَ ، أذِيعُوا اسْمَهُ. عَرِّفُوا الأُمَمَ بِأعمالِهِ العَظِيمَةِ.

O give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known his doings among the peoples.

9 ر َنِّمُوا لَهُ، غَنُّوا تَسْبِيحَهُ، حَدِّثُوا بِمُعجِزاتِهِ.

Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvellous works.

10 ا فْتَخِرُوا بِاسْمِهِ القُدُّوسِ، وَلْتَبْتَهِجْ قُلُوبُ كُلِّ مَنْ يَطلُبُونَ اللهَ.

Glory ye in his holy name; Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

11 ا طلُبُوا اللهَ وَقُوَّتَهُ، اسْعُوا إلَيْهِ دائِماً.

Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore.

12 ا ذْكُرُوا المُعجِزاتِ الَّتِي صَنَعَها، آياتِهِ وَالأحْكامَ الَّتِي نَطَقَ بِها.

Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

13 ي ا نَسلَ إسْرائِيلَ، يا خُدّامَهُ، يا أبْناءَ يَعْقُوبَ، مُختارِيهِ.

O ye seed of Israel his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

14 ه ُوَ إلَهُنا ، أحكامُهُ تَملأُ الأرْضَ.

He is Jehovah our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

15 إ لَى الأبَدِ اذْكُرُوا عَهْدَهُ، الكَلامَ الَّذِي أوصَى بِهِ لِألْفِ جِيلٍ،

Remember his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

16 ا لعَهْدَ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَ إبْراهِيمَ، وَوَعَدَ بِهِ إسْحَاقَ.

The covenant which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac,

17 ث َبَّتَهُ مَعَ يَعْقُوبَ مَرْسُوماً، وَمَعَ إسْرائِيلَ عَهْداً أبَدِيّاً.

And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

18 ف َقالَ: «سَأُعطِيكَ أرْضَ كَنْعانَ، فَتَكُونَ مِنْ نَصِيبِكَ.»

Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;

19 ك انُوا قَلِيلِينَ وَغُرَباءُ فِي الأرْضِ،

When ye were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it;

20 ي َرتَحِلُونَ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ إلَى أُمَّةٍ، وَمِنْ مَملَكَةٍ إلَى مَملَكَةٍ.

And they went about from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people.

21 ف َلَمْ يَسْمَحِ لِأحَدٍ بِأنْ يَظلِمَهُمْ، وَحَذَّرَ مُلُوكاً مِنَ المَساسِ بِهِمْ.

He suffered no man to do them wrong; Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

22 ق الَ لَهُمْ: «لا تَمَسُّوا مُسَحائِي، وَلا تُؤْذُوا أنبِيائِي!»

Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.

23 ر َنِّمُوا للهِ يا كُلَّ الأرْضِ، أذِيعُوا يَوْماً بَعْدَ يَوْمٍ خَلاصَهُ.

Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth; Show forth his salvation from day to day.

24 أ علِنُوا مَجدَهُ بَينَ الأُمَمِ، وَمُعجِزاتِهِ بَينَ الشُّعُوبِ.

Declare his glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.

25 ل ِأنَّ اللهَ عَظِيمٌ وَجَدِيرٌ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ، وَأكثَرُ مَهابَةً مِنْ كُلِّ الآلِهَةِ.

For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised: He also is to be feared above all gods.

26 ل ِأنَّ آلِهَةَ الشُّعُوبِ الأُخرَى أصْنامٌ لا حَولَ لَها وَلا قُوَّةَ، أمّا اللهُ فَصَنَعَ السَّماواتِ.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols: But Jehovah made the heavens.

27 ب َهاءٌ وَجَلالٌ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ، وَقُوَّةٌ وَفَرَحٌ فِي مَسْكَنِهِ.

Honor and majesty are before him: Strength and gladness are in his place.

28 أ عطُوا اللهَ ، يا عائِلاتَ الشُّعُوبِ، أُعطُوا اللهَ مَجداً وَقُوَّةً.

Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength;

29 أ عطُوا اللهَ المَجدَ الَّلائِقَ بِاسْمِهِ. هاتُوا تَقْدِمَةً وَادخُلُوا إلَى حَضْرَتِهِ. اعبُدُوا اللهَ وَاسْجُدُوا لَهُ فِي بَهاءِ قَداسَتِهِ.

Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name: Bring an offering, and come before him: Worship Jehovah in holy array.

30 ا رتَعِدُوا أمامَهُ يا كُلَّ شُعُوبِ الأرْضِ حَقّاً. العالَمُ ثابِتٌ فِي مَكانِهِ، لا تَقْدِرُ قُوَّةٌ أنْ تُزَحزِحَهُ.

Tremble before him, all the earth: The world also is established that it cannot be moved.

31 ل ِتَبْتَهِجِ السَّماواتُ وَلْتَفْرَحِ الأرْضُ، وَلْيُقَلْ بَينَ الأُمَمِ: « اللهُ يَملُكُ.»

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth.

32 ل ِيَهْدِرِ البَحْرُ وَكُلُّ ما يَملأُهُ، لِيَبْتَهِجِ الرِّيفُ وَكُلُّ ما فِيهِ.

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; Let the field exult, and all that is therein;

33 ح ِينَئِذٍ، سَتَفْرَحُ أشْجارُ الغابَةِ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ حِينَ يَأْتِي لِيَحكُمَ عَلَى الأرْضِ.

Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy before Jehovah; For he cometh to judge the earth.

34 س بِّحُوا اللهَ ، لِأنَّهُ صالِحٌ، لِأنَّ رَحمَتَهُ إلَى الأبَدِ.

O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

35 ق ُولُوا: «خَلِّصْنا يا إلَهَنا وَمُخَلِّصَنا، وَاجمَعْنا وَأنقِذْنا مِنَ الأُمَمِ، لِكَي نُقَدِّمَ الشُّكْرَ لاسْمِكَ القُدُّوسِ، لِكَي نُخبِرَ بِفَخْرٍ بِأعمالِكَ الجَدِيرَةِ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ.

And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us together and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, And to triumph in thy praise.

36 ل ِيَتَبارَكِ اللهُ ، إلَهُ إسْرائِيلَ إلَى أبَدِ الآبِدِينَ.» فَقالَ كُلُّ الشَّعبِ: «آمِين!» وَسَبَّحُوا اللهَ.

Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And all the people said, Amen, and praised Jehovah.

37 و َتَرَكَ داوُدُ آسافَ وَمُساعِدِيهِ هُناكَ أمامَ صُنْدُوقِ عَهْدِ اللهِ لِيَخدِمُوا أمامَ الصُّنْدُوقِ دائِماً حَسَبَ المُتَطَلَّباتِ اليَوْمِيَّةِ.

So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required;

38 و َبَقِيَ هُناكَ أيضاً عُوبِيدُ آدُومَ وَأقْرِباؤُهُ الثَّمانِيَةُ وَالسِّتُّونَ، وَعُوبِيدُ أدُومَ بْنُ يَدِيثُونَ وَحُوسَةَ، لِيَخدِمُوا كَبَوّابِينَ.

and Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;

39 و َبَقِيَ أمامَ خَيمَةِ اجتِماعِ اللهِ فِي المُرْتَفَعِ فِي جِبْعُونَ الكاهِنُ صادُوقُ وَزُمَلاؤُهُ الكَهَنَةُ.

and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon,

40 و َكانَ مَطلُوباً مِنْهُمْ أنْ يُقَدِّمُوا تَقْدِماتٍ صاعِدَةً كامِلَةً للهِ صَباحاً وَمَساءً عَلَى مَذْبَحِ التَّقْدِماتِ الصّاعِدَةِ، وَفْقَ كُلِّ ما هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِي شَرِيعَةِ اللهِ الَّتِي أمَرَ إسْرائِيلَ باتِّباعِها.

to offer burnt-offerings unto Jehovah upon the altar of burnt-offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of Jehovah, which he commanded unto Israel;

41 و َبَقِيَ مَعَهُمْ هَيمانُ، وَيَدُوثُونُ، وَبَقِيَّةُ المُختارِينَ وَالمُعَيَّنِينَ بِالاسْمِ لِتَقْدِيمِ التَّسبيحِ للهِ: «لِأنَّ رَحْمَتَهُ إلَى الأبَدِ.»

and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, because his lovingkindness endureth for ever;

42 و َكانَ مَعْهُما، أي مَعَ هَيمانَ وَيَدُوثُونَ، أبْواقٌ وَصُنُوجٌ لِلَّذِينَ يَعزِفُونَ عَلَيها وَآلاتٌ لِعَزْفِ تَرانِيمَ للهِ. وَكانَ أبْناءُ يَدُوثُونَ مَسْؤُولِينَ عَنِ البَوّابَةِ.

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 ث ُمَّ ذَهَبَ الشَّعبُ كُلُّهُمْ إلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ. وَرَجِعَ داوُدُ لِيُبارِكَ بَيتَهُ.

And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
