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

So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then 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 finished offering the burnt offerings 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.

Then he distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, 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 some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, to commemorate, to thank, and to 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 next to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, and Obed-Edom: Jeiel with stringed instruments and harps, but Asaph made music with cymbals;

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

Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests regularly blew the trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God. David’s Song of Thanksgiving

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

On that day David first delivered this psalm into the hand of Asaph and his brethren, to thank the Lord:

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 psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!

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

Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!

11 ا طلُبُوا اللهَ وَقُوَّتَهُ، اسْعُوا إلَيْهِ دائِماً.

Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore!

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

Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,

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

O seed of Israel His servant, You children 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, for 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.

And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

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

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

19 ك انُوا قَلِيلِينَ وَغُرَباءُ فِي الأرْضِ،

When you were few in number, Indeed very few, and strangers in it.

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

When they went from one nation to another, And from one kingdom to another people,

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

He permitted no man to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,

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

Saying, “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 the good news of His salvation from day to day.

24 أ علِنُوا مَجدَهُ بَينَ الأُمَمِ، وَمُعجِزاتِهِ بَينَ الشُّعُوبِ.

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

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

For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is also 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.

Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and gladness are in His place.

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

Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples, Give 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.

Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!

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 firmly established, It shall not be moved.

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

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; 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 its fullness; Let the field rejoice, 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 woods shall rejoice before the Lord, For He is coming to judge the earth.

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

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

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

And say, “Save us, O God of our salvation; Gather us together, and deliver us from the Gentiles, To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your praise.”

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

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! And all the people said, “Amen!” and praised the Lord. Regular Worship Maintained

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

So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord to minister before the ark regularly, 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 sixty-eight brethren, including Obed-Edom the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, to be gatekeepers;

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 the Lord at 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 to the Lord on the altar of burnt offering regularly morning and evening, and to do 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.»

and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the Lord, because His mercy endures forever;

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, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals and the musical instruments of God. Now the sons of Jeduthun were gatekeepers.

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

Then all the people departed, every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
