1 Iwo anabwera nalo Bokosi la Mulungu ndipo analiyika pamalo pake mʼkati mwa tenti imene Davide anayimika ndipo iwo anapereka nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano pamaso pa Mulungu.
So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent, which David had pitched for it: and they offered holocausts, and peace offerings before God.
2 Davide atatsiriza kupereka nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano, iye anadalitsa anthu mʼdzina la Yehova.
And when David had made an end of offering holocausts, and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
3 Kenaka anagawira Mwisraeli aliyense, wamwamuna ndi wamkazi, aliyense buledi mmodzi, nthuli yanyama ndiponso keke yamphesa zowuma.
And he divided to all and every one, both men and women, a loaf of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and flour fried with oil.
4 Iye anasankha Alevi ena kuti azitumikira pamene panali Bokosi la Yehova, kuti azipemphera, azithokoza ndi kulemekeza Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli.
And he appointed Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, and to remember his works, and to glorify, and praise the Lord God of Israel.
5 Mtsogoleri wawo anali Asafu, wachiwiri anali Zekariya, kenaka Yeiyeli, Semiramoti, Yehieli, Matitiya, Eliabu, Benaya, Obedi-Edomu ndi Yeiyeli. Iwo amayimba azeze ndi apangwe, Asafu amayimba ziwaya za malipenga,
Asaph the chief, and next after him Zacharias: moreover Jahiel, and Semiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mathathias, and Eliab, and Banaias, and Obededom: and Jehiel over the instruments of psaltery, and harps: and Asaph sounded with cymbals:
6 ndipo ansembe Benaya ndi Yahazieli amawomba malipenga nthawi zonse pamaso pa Bokosi la Chipangano la Mulungu.
But Banaias, and Jaziel the priests, to sound the trumpet continually before the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
7 Tsiku limeneli Davide anayamba nʼkusankha Asafu ndi anzake kuti ndiwo apereke nyimbo iyi ya matamando kwa Yehova:
In that day David made Asaph the chief to give praise to the Lord with his brethren.
8 Yamikani Yehova, itanani dzina lake; lalikani za ntchito zake pakati pa mitundu ya anthu.
Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make known his doings among the nations.
9 Imbirani Iye, muyimbireni nyimbo zamatamando; nenani za ntchito zake zonse zodabwitsa.
Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: and relate all his wondrous works.
10 Nyadirani dzina lake loyera; ikondwere mitima ya iwo akufunafuna Yehova.
Praise ye his holy name: let the heart I of them rejoice, that seek the Lord.
11 Dalirani Yehova ndi mphamvu zake; funafunani nkhope yake nthawi zonse.
Seek ye the Lord, and his power: seek ye his face evermore.
12 Kumbukirani ntchito zodabwitsa wazichita, zozizwitsa zake, ndi kuweruza kwa mʼkamwa mwake,
Remember his wonderful works, which he hath done: his signs, and the judgments of his mouth.
13 inu zidzukulu za Israeli mtumiki wake, inu ana a Yakobo, osankhidwa ake.
O ye seed of Israel his servants, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
14 Iye ndiye Yehova Mulungu wathu; chiweruzo chake chili pa dziko lonse lapansi.
He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
15 Iye amakumbukira pangano lake nthawi zonse, mawu amene Iye analamula, kwa mibado miyandamiyanda,
Remember for ever his covenant: the word, which he commanded to a thousand generations.
16 pangano limene anachita ndi Abrahamu, lonjezo limene analumbira kwa Isake.
The covenant which he made with Abraham: and his oath to Isaac.
17 Iye analitsimikiza kwa Yakobo monga lamulo, kwa Israeli monga pangano lamuyaya.
And he appointed the same to Jacob for a precept: and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
18 “Kwa iwe, ine ndidzapereka dziko la Kanaani monga cholowa chimene udzachilandira.”
Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan: the lot of your inheritance.
19 Ali anthu owerengeka, ochepa ndithu, komanso alendo mʼdzikomo,
When they were but a small number: very few and sojourners in it.
20 iwo anayendayenda kuchoka ku mtundu wina kupita ku mtundu wina, ku ufumu wina kupita ku ufumu wina.
And they passed from nation to nation: and from a kingdom to another people.
21 Iye sanalole munthu aliyense kuti awapondereze; chifukwa cha iwo, Iye anadzudzula mafumu:
He suffered no man to do them wrong: and reproved kings for their sake.
22 “Musakhudze odzozedwa anga; musawachitire choyipa aneneri anga.”
Touch not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.
23 Imbirani Yehova, dziko lonse lapansi; lalikani za chipulumutso chake tsiku ndi tsiku.
Sing ye to the Lord, all the earth: shew forth from day to day his salvation.
24 Lengezani za ulemerero wake kwa mitundu yonse, ntchito zake zonse zodabwitsa kwa anthu onse.
Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.
25 Pakuti Yehova ndi wamkulu ndi woyenera kwambiri kumutamanda; Iyeyo ayenera kuopedwa kuposa milungu yonse.
For the Lord is great and exceedingly to be praised: and he is to be feared above all gods.
26 Pakuti milungu yonse ya anthu a mitundu ina ndi mafano wopanda pake, koma Yehova analenga kumwamba.
For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.
27 Ulemerero ndi ufumu zili pamaso pake; mphamvu ndi chimwemwe zili pa malo pokhala Iye.
Praise and magnificence are before him: strength and joy in his place.
28 Perekani kwa Yehova, Inu mabanja a anthu a mitundu ina, perekani kwa Yehova ulemerero ndi mphamvu,
Bring ye to the Lord, O ye families of the nations: bring ye to the Lord glory and empire.
29 perekani kwa Yehova ulemerero woyenera dzina lake. Bweretsani chopereka ndipo mufike pamaso pake; pembedzani Yehova mu ulemerero wachiyero chake.
Give to the Lord glory to his name, bring up sacrifice, and come ye in his sight: and adore the Lord in holy becomingness.
30 Njenjemerani pamaso pake, dziko lonse lapansi! Dziko linakhazikika kolimba; silingasunthidwe.
Let all the earth be moved at his presence: for he hath founded the world immoveable.
31 Zakumwamba zisangalale, dziko lapansi likondwere; anene anthu a mitundu ina, “Yehova ndi mfumu!”
Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth be glad: and let them say among the nations: The Lord hath reigned.
32 Nyanja ikokome, ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo; minda ikondwere, ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo!
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all things that are in them.
33 Ndipo mitengo ya mʼnkhalango idzayimba, idzayimba chifukwa cha chimwemwe pamaso pa Yehova, pakuti akubwera kudzaweruza dziko lapansi.
Then shall the trees of the wood give praise before the Lord: because he is come to judge the earth.
34 Yamikani Yehova, pakuti Iye ndi wabwino; chikondi chake chikhala mpaka muyaya.
Give ye glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
35 Fuwulani kuti, “Tipulumutseni, Inu Mulungu wa chipulumutso chathu, mutisonkhanitse ndipo mutipulumutse kwa anthu a mitundu ina, kuti tiyamike dzina lanu loyera, kuti tikutamandeni.”
And say ye: Save us, O God our saviour: and gather us together, and deliver us from the nations, that we may give glory to thy holy name, and may rejoice in singing thy praises.
36 Atamandike Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, kuyambira muyaya mpaka muyaya. Ndipo anthu onse anati, “Ameni” ndipo “Tikutamandani Yehova.”
Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity: and let all the people say Amen, and a hymn to God.
37 Ndipo Davide anasiya Asafu pamodzi ndi anzake kumene kunali Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova kuti azitumikira kumeneko nthawi zonse, monga mwa zoyenera kuchita pa tsiku lililonse.
So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, Asaph and his brethren to minister in the presence of the ark continually day by day, and in their courses.
38 Iye anasiyanso Obedi-Edomu pamodzi ndi anzake 68 kuti azitumikira nawo pamodzi. Obedi-Edomu mwana wa Yedutuni ndi Hosa anali alonda a pa chipata.
And Obededom, with his brethren sixty-eight: and Obededom the son of Idithun, and Hosa he appointed to be porters.
39 Davide anasiya wansembe Zadoki ndi ansembe anzake ku chihema cha Yehova ku malo achipembedzo ku Gibiyoni
And Sadoc the priest, and his brethren priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place, which was in Gabaon.
40 kuti azipereka nsembe zopsereza kwa Yehova pa guwa lansembe nthawi zonse mmawa ndi madzulo, potsata zonse zimene zinalembedwa mʼbuku la malamulo a Yehova, amene anawapereka kwa Aisraeli.
That they should offer holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of holocausts continually, morning and evening, according to all that is written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded Israel.
41 Anthuwo anali pamodzi ndi Hemani ndi Yedutuni ndi onse amene anawasankha mowatchula dzina kuti apereke mayamiko kwa Yehova, “pakuti chikondi chake ndi chosatha.”
And after him Heman, and Idithun, and the rest that were chosen, every one by his name to give praise to the Lord: because his mercy endureth for ever.
42 Hemani ndi Yedutuni anali oyangʼanira malipenga ndi ziwaya ndiponso zipangizo zina zoyimbira nyimbo zachipembedzo. Ana a Yedutuni anawayika kuti aziyangʼanira pa chipata.
And Heman and Idithun sounded the trumpet, and played on the cymbals, and all kinds of musical instruments to sing praises to God: and the sons of Idithun he made porters.
43 Kenaka anthu onse anachoka, aliyense kupita kwawo. Ndipo Davide anabwerera ku nyumba kwake kukadalitsa banja lake.
And all the people returned to their houses: and David to bless also his own house.
