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 placed it inside the tent which 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.

When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.

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

He distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread and a portion of meat and a raisin cake.

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

He appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the Lord, even to celebrate and to thank and praise the Lord 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, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom and Jeiel, with musical instruments, harps, lyres; also Asaph played loud-sounding cymbals,

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

and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests blew 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 David first assigned Asaph and his relatives to give thanks to the Lord. Psalm of Thanksgiving

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

Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples.

9 ر َنِّمُوا لَهُ، غَنُّوا تَسْبِيحَهُ، حَدِّثُوا بِمُعجِزاتِهِ.

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

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

Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad.

11 ا طلُبُوا اللهَ وَقُوَّتَهُ، اسْعُوا إلَيْهِ دائِماً.

Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually.

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

Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done, His marvels and the judgments from His mouth,

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

O seed of Israel His servant, Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

14 ه ُوَ إلَهُنا ، أحكامُهُ تَملأُ الأرْضَ.

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

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

Remember His covenant forever, 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 to Isaac.

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

He also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

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

Saying, “ To you I will give the land of Canaan, As the portion of your inheritance.”

19 ك انُوا قَلِيلِينَ وَغُرَباءُ فِي الأرْضِ،

When they were only a few in number, Very few, and strangers in it,

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

And they wandered 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 permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes, saying,

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

“Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.”

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

Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.

24 أ علِنُوا مَجدَهُ بَينَ الأُمَمِ، وَمُعجِزاتِهِ بَينَ الشُّعُوبِ.

Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.

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

For great is the Lord, 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 the Lord made the heavens.

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

Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and joy are in His place.

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

Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

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

Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him; Worship the Lord 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; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not 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, “ The Lord reigns.”

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

Let the sea roar, and all it contains; Let the field exult, and all that is in it.

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

Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the Lord; For He is coming to judge the earth.

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

O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

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

Then say, “Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks to Your holy name, And glory in Your praise.”

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

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. Then all the people said, “Amen,” and praised the Lord. Worship before the Ark

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

So he left Asaph and his relatives there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord 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 his 68 relatives; Obed-edom, also the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah as gatekeepers.

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

He left Zadok the priest and his relatives the priests before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place which 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 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 Israel.

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

With them were Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the Lord, because His lovingkindness is everlasting.

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 were Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those who should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun for the gate.

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

Then all the people departed each to his house, and David returned to bless his household.
