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.
Alawii makĩrehe ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai, makĩrĩtoonyia thĩinĩ wa hema ĩrĩa yaambĩtwo nĩ Daudi nĩ ũndũ warĩo, na makĩrutĩra Ngai maruta ma njino na maruta ma ũiguano.
2 When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.
Daudi aarĩkia kũruta maruta ma njino na maruta ma ũiguano-rĩ, akĩrathima andũ acio thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.
3 Then he distributed to every man and woman of Israel a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake.
Ningĩ akĩhe andũ a Isiraeli othe, arũme na andũ-a-nja o mũndũ mũgate, na gĩcunjĩ kĩa nyama, na ngũmba ya thabibũ nyũmũ.
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.
Nĩathuurire Alawii amwe matungatage mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova, na mathaithanagĩre andũ, na macookagie ngaatho, na magoocage Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, nao nĩo:
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
Asafu ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wao, na mũnini wake aarĩ Zekaria, agacookwo nĩ Jeieli, na Shemiramothu, na Jehieli, na Matithia, na Eliabu, na Benaia, na Obedi-Edomu, na Jeieli. Acio maarĩ a kũhũũraga inanda cia kĩnũbi na inanda cia mũgeeto, nake Asafu agambagie thaani iria ihũũrithanagio ikagamba,
6 and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blew the trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God.
nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai, Benaia na Jahazieli, maarĩ a kũhuha tũrumbeta hĩndĩ ciothe marĩ mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Ngai.
7 On that day David first committed to Asaph and his brothers this song of thanksgiving to the LORD:
Mũthenya ũcio ũndũ wa mbere, ũrĩa Daudi eekire nĩ kũnengera Asafu na athiritũ ake thaburi ĩno ya gũcookeria Jehova ngaatho:
8 “Give thanks to the LORD; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.
Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, kaĩrai rĩĩtwa rĩake; menyithaniai ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ũrĩa ekĩte.
9 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.
Mũinĩrei, mũmũinĩre mũkĩmũgoocaga, mũheane ũhoro wa ciĩko ciake ciothe cia magegania.
10 Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Mwĩrahei nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake itheru; ngoro cia arĩa marongoragia Jehova nĩ ikene.
11 Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
Mathaai Jehova o na hinya wake; mũmaathage ũthiũ wake hĩndĩ ciothe.
12 Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,
Ririkanai magegania marĩa ekĩte, na ciama ciake, na matuĩro ma ciira marĩa atuĩte,
13 O offspring of His servant Israel, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
inyuĩ njiaro cia Isiraeli ndungata yake, o inyuĩ ciana cia Jakubu, inyuĩ andũ ake arĩa athuurĩte.
14 He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.
Jehova nĩwe Ngai witũ; matuĩro make ma ciira marĩ thĩ yothe.
15 Remember His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
Nĩaririkanaga kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake nginya tene, nĩkĩo kiugo kĩrĩa aathanire, kĩrũmagĩrĩrwo nĩ njiarwa ngiri,
16 the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.
kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa aarĩkanĩire na Iburahĩmu, na noguo mwĩhĩtwa ũrĩa eehĩtire harĩ Isaaka.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
Nĩagĩĩkĩrire hinya harĩ Jakubu kĩrĩ kĩrĩra gĩake kĩa watho wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo, agĩgĩĩkĩra hinya kũrĩ Isiraeli kĩrĩ kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra tene na tene, akiuga atĩrĩ:
18 ‘I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.’
“Wee nĩwe ngaahe bũrũri wa Kaanani, ũtuĩke igai rĩrĩa ũkaagaya.”
19 When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maarĩ o anini magĩtarwo, o anini biũ, na maarĩ ageni kuo-rĩ,
20 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
moorũũraga kuuma rũrĩrĩ rũmwe nginya rũrĩa rũngĩ, na kuuma ũthamaki-inĩ ũmwe nginya ũrĩa ũngĩ.
21 He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
Ndarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe etĩkĩririe amanyariire; nĩarũithirie athamaki nĩ ũndũ wao, akĩmeera atĩrĩ:
22 ‘Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!’
“Mũtikanahutie andũ arĩa akwa aitĩrĩrie maguta; mũtikaneke anabii akwa ũũru.”
23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth. Proclaim His salvation day after day.
Inĩrai Jehova, inyuĩ andũ a thĩ yothe; mũhunjagie ũhonokio wake mũthenya o mũthenya.
24 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all peoples.
Umbũrai riiri wake kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, mumbũre mawĩko make ma magegania kũrĩ andũ othe.
25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩ mũnene, na nĩ wa kũgoocwo mũno; nĩwe wa gwĩtigĩrwo gũkĩra ngai ciothe.
26 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens.
Nĩgũkorwo ngai ciothe cia ndũrĩrĩ nĩ mĩhianano, no Jehova nĩwe wombire igũrũ.
27 Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy fill His dwelling.
Riiri na ũnene irĩ mbere yake; hinya na gĩkeno itũũraga gwake.
28 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Tũũgĩriai Jehova, inyuĩ mĩhĩrĩga ya ndũrĩrĩ, mũtũũgĩrie Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa riiri na hinya wake,
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;
Tũũgĩriai Jehova, nĩ ũndũ wa riiri ũrĩa wagĩrĩire rĩĩtwa rĩake. Mũreherei maruta na mũũke mbere yake; mũhooe Jehova thĩinĩ wa riiri wa ũtheru wake.
30 tremble before Him, all the earth. The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
Inainai mũrĩ mbere yake, inyuĩ andũ a thĩ yothe! Thĩ ĩhaandĩtwo ĩkarũma; ndĩngĩenyenyeka.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice. Let them say among the nations, ‘The LORD reigns!’
Igũrũ nĩ rĩkene, thĩ nĩĩcanjamũke; nakuo ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ nĩ kuugwo atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩwe ũthamakaga!”
32 Let the sea resound, and all that fills it; let the fields exult, and all that is in them.
Iria nĩ rĩrurume, na indo iria ciothe irĩ thĩinĩ warĩo; mĩgũnda nĩĩkenerũrũke na indo iria ciothe irĩ thĩinĩ wayo!
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for He is coming to judge the earth.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mĩtĩ ya mĩtitũ nĩĩkaina; ĩine nĩ gũkena ĩrĩ mbere ya Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩarooka gũciirithia thĩ.
34 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.
Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga nginya tene.
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.’
Anĩrĩrai muuge atĩrĩ, “Tũhonokie, Wee Ngai Mũhonokia witũ; tũcookanĩrĩrie na ũtũkũũre kuuma kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, nĩguo tũcookagĩrie rĩĩtwa rĩaku itheru ngaatho, nĩgeetha twĩrahage nĩ ũndũ wa ũgooci waku.”
36 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.” Then all the people said, “Amen!” and “Praise the LORD!”
Jehova arogoocwo, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, kuuma tene na tene, nginya tene na tene. Nao andũ othe makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ameni” na “Goocai Jehova.”
37 So David left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to minister there regularly according to the daily requirements,
Daudi agĩtiga Asafu na athiritũ ake hau mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova nĩguo matungatage kuo hĩndĩ ciothe, kũringana na mabata ma o mũthenya.
38 along with Obed-edom and his sixty-eight relatives. Obed-edom son of Jeduthun, and also Hosah, were to be gatekeepers.
O na ningĩ agĩtiga Obedi-Edomu na athiritũ ake mĩrongo ĩtandatũ na anana matungatage hamwe nao. Obedi-Edomu mũrũ wa Jeduthuni marĩ na Hosa maarĩ arangĩri a kĩhingo.
39 And David left Zadok the priest and his fellow priests before the tabernacle of the LORD at the high place in Gibeon
Daudi agĩtiga Zadoku ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai hamwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa angĩ hau mbere ya hema ĩrĩa nyamũre, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kũu Gibeoni,
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.
nĩguo marutagĩre Jehova maruta ma njino kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa maruta ma njino hĩndĩ ciothe, rũciinĩ na hwaĩ-inĩ, kũringana na ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo watho-inĩ wa Jehova ũrĩa aaheete andũ a Isiraeli.
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.”
Arĩa maarĩ hamwe nao nĩ Hemani na Jeduthuni, na arĩa angĩ maarĩ athuure na makagwetwo na marĩĩtwa nĩgeetha macookagĩrie Jehova ngaatho, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Tondũ wendo wake ũtũũraga nginya tene.”
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.
Hemani na Jeduthuni nĩo meehokeirwo kũhuha tũrumbeta, na kũhũũrithania thaani iria ihũũrithanagio ikagamba, o na kũhũũraga inanda iria ingĩ cia kũina rwĩmbo rwamũre. Ariũ a Jeduthuni nĩo maaheirwo wĩra wa kũrangĩra kĩhingo.
43 Then all the people departed for their homes, and David returned home to bless his household.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe magĩthiĩ o mũndũ gwake mũciĩ, nake Daudi agĩcooka mũciĩ akarathime andũ a nyũmba yake.
