< Chronicles I 16 >

1 So they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tabernacle which David pitched for it; and they offered whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings before God.
Awo ne baleeta essanduuko ya Mukama, ne bagiyingiza mu weema Dawudi gye yali agisimbidde, ne bawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe eri Katonda.
2 And David finished offering up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings, and blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
Awo Dawudi bwe yamala okuwaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, n’asabira abantu omukisa mu linnya lya Mukama,
3 And he divided to every man of Israel (both men and women), to [every] man one baker's loaf, and a cake.
era n’agabira buli Muyisirayiri omusajja n’omukazi, omugaati n’ekitole eky’ezabbibu enkalu, n’ekiyungula ky’ennyama.
4 And he appointed before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, Levites to minister [and] lift up the voice, and to give thanks and praise the Lord God of Israel:
Yalonda abamu ku Baleevi okuweerezanga mu maaso g’essanduuko ya Mukama, okukoowoola nga basaba, nga beebaza, era nga batendereza Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri.
5 Asaph [was] the chief, and next to him Zacharias, Jeiel, Semiramoth, and Jeiel, Mattathias, Eliab, and Banaeas, and Abdedom: and Jeiel sounding with musical instruments, lutes [and] harps, and Asaph with cymbals:
Asafu ye yali omukulu waabwe, Zekkaliya n’amuddirira, Yeyeeri n’addako, n’oluvannyuma Semiramosi, ne Yekyeri, ne Mattisiya, ne Eriyaabu, ne Benaya, ne Obededomu, ne Yeyeri, abookukuba entongooli n’ennanga, Asafu ye ng’akuba ebitaasa.
6 and Banaeas and Oziel the priests [sounding] continually with trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God in that day.
Benaya ne Yakaziyeeri bakabona be baafuuwanga amakondeere bulijjo mu maaso g’essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Katonda.
7 Then David first gave orders to praise the Lord by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
Awo ku lunaku olwo, Dawudi n’alagira Asafu n’abantu be yakolanga nabo, basooke okwebaza Mukama nga bagamba nti:
8 Song. Give thanks to the Lord, call upon him by his name, make known his designs amongst the people.
Mwebaze Mukama, mukoowoole erinnya lye, mumanyise ebikolwa bye mu mawanga.
9 Sing [songs] to him, and sing hymns to him, relate to all [people] his wonderful deeds, which the Lord has wrought.
Mumuyimbire, muyimbe okumutendereza mwogere ku byamagero bye byonna.
10 Praise his holy name, the heart that seeks his pleasure shall rejoice.
Erinnya lye ligulumizibwe, n’emitima gy’abo abanoonya Mukama gisanyuke.
11 Seek the Lord and be strong, seek his face continually.
Mutunuulire Mukama n’amaanyi ge; munoonye amaaso ge ennaku zonna.
12 Remember his wonderful works which he has wrought, his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth;
Mujjukire ebyewuunyo by’akoze, n’ebyamagero bye, n’ensala ye ey’emisango gy’alangirira,
13 [you] seed of Israel his servants, [you] seed of Jacob his chosen ones.
mmwe abazzukulu ba Isirayiri, abaweereza be, mmwe abaana ba Yakobo, abalonde be.
14 He [is] the Lord our God; his judgements [are] in all the earth.
Ye Mukama Katonda waffe; okusalawo kwe okw’emisango kubuna ensi yonna.
15 Let us remember his covenant for ever, his word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
Ajjukira endagaano ye emirembe gyonna, n’ekigambo kye yalagira, okutuusa ku mirembe olukumi,
16 which he covenanted with Abraham, and his oath [sworn] to Isaac.
gye yakola ne Ibulayimu, era n’agirayiza Isaaka.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob for an ordinance, to Israel [as] an everlasting covenant,
N’aginyweza ng’etteeka eri Yakobo, n’eri Isirayiri ng’endagaano ey’olubeerera,
18 saying, To you will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
ng’agamba nti, “Ndikuwa ensi ya Kanani, ng’omugabo, ogw’obusika bwo.”
19 when they were few in number, when they were but little, and lived as strangers in it;
Omuwendo gwabwe bwe gwali omutono, era omutono ddala, nga batambuze mu yo,
20 and went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.
baatambulatambulanga okuva mu nsi emu okudda mu ndala, n’okuva mu bwakabaka obumu okudda mu bantu abalala.
21 He suffered not a man to oppress them, and he reproved kings for their sakes,
Teyaganya muntu n’omu kubanyigiriza; weewaawo, yanenya bakabaka ku lwabwe:
22 saying, Touch not my anointed ones, and deal not wrongfully with my prophets.
ng’agamba nti, “Temukwatanga ku abo be nnafukako amafuta, so bannabbi bange temubakolanga akabi.”
23 Sing you to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim his salvation from day to day.
Muyimbire Mukama, mmwe ensi zonna; mulangirire obulokozi bwe buli lunaku.
24 Declare amongst the nations his glory, his wondrous deeds amongst all peoples.
Mubuulire ekitiibwa kye mu mawanga, n’ebikolwa bye ebyamagero mu bantu bonna.
25 For the Lord [is] great, and greatly to be praised: he [is] to be feared above all gods.
Mukama mukulu era asaanira okutenderezebwa; era atiibwenga okusinga bakatonda abalala bonna.
26 For all the gods of the nations [are] idols; but our God made the heavens.
Bakatonda bonna abamawanga bifaananyi, naye Mukama ye yakola eggulu.
27 Glory and praise [are] in his presence; strength and rejoicing [are] in his place.
Ekitiibwa n’obukulu biri mu maaso ge, amaanyi n’essanyu biri wamu naye.
28 Give to the Lord, you families of the nations, give to the Lord glory and strength.
Mugulumize Mukama, mmwe ebika eby’amawanga byonna, mutende ekitiibwa kya Mukama awamu n’amaanyi ge.
29 Give to the Lord the glory [belonging] to his name: take gifts and offer [them] before him; and worship the Lord in his holy courts.
Muyimusize Mukama ekitiibwa ekigwanira erinnya lye; muleete ekiweebwayo, mujje mu maaso ge; musinze Mukama mu kitiibwa ky’obutukuvu bwe.
30 Let the whole earth fear before him; let the earth be established, and not be moved.
Mukankane mu maaso ge ensi yonna, weewaawo ensi nywevu, teyinza kusesetulwa.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth exult; and let them say amongst the nations, The Lord reigns.
Eggulu lisanyuke, n’ensi ejaguze; boogere mu mawanga nti, “Mukama afuga!”
32 The sea with its fullness shall resound and the tree of the field, and all things in it.
Ennyanja ewuume, n’ebigirimu byonna, n’ennimiro zijaguze, n’okujjula kwazo!
33 Then shall the trees of the wood rejoice before the Lord, for he is come to judge the earth.
Awo emiti egy’omu kibira ginaayimba, ginaayimbira Mukama n’essanyu, kubanga akomawo okusalira ensi omusango.
34 Give thanks to the Lord, for [it is] good, for his mercy [is] for ever.
Weebaze Mukama kubanga mulungi; era okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.
35 And say you, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us, and rescue us from amongst the heathen, that we may praise your holy name, and glory in your praises.
Mwogerere waggulu nti, “Tulokole, Ayi Katonda ow’obulokozi bwaffe; tukuŋŋaanye, otulokole eri amawanga, twebaze erinnya lyo ettukuvu, era tujagulize mu ttendo lyo.”
36 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel from everlasting and to everlasting: And all the people shall say, Amen. So they praised the Lord.
Mukama yeebazibwe, Katonda wa Isirayiri ow’emirembe n’emirembe. Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina, Mukama yeebazibwe.”
37 And they left there Asaph and his brethren before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to minister before the ark continually, according to the service of each day: from day to day.
Awo Dawudi n’aleka Asafu n’ababeezi be, okuweereza Mukama mu maaso g’essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama, nga bwe kyagwaniranga buli lunaku.
38 And Abdedom and his brethren [were] sixty and eight; and Abdedom the son of Idithun, and Osa, [were] to be doorkeepers.
Obededomu n’ababeezi be enkaaga mu omunaana nabo yabaleka baweereze eyo. Obededomu mutabani wa Yedusuni, era ne Kosa be baali abaggazi.
39 And [they appointed] Sadoc the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place in Gabaon,
Dawudi yaleka Zadooki, kabona ne bakabona banne mu maaso g’eweema ya Mukama mu kifo ekigulumivu e Gibyoni
40 to offer up whole burnt offerings continually morning and evening, and according to all things written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded the children of Israel by Moses the servant of God.
okuwangayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama ku kyoto eky’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, buli nkya na buli kawungeezi, nga byonna bwe byawandiikibwa mu mateeka ga Mukama, ge yawa Isirayiri.
41 And with him [were] Aeman and Idithun, and the rest chosen out by name to praise the Lord, for his mercy [endures] for ever.
Kemani ne Yedusuni n’abalala abaalondebwa ne bayitibwa amannya gaabwe okwebaza Mukama, “kubanga okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna,” baali wamu nabo.
42 And with them [there were] trumpets and cymbals to sound aloud, and musical instruments for the songs of God: and the sons of Idithun [were] at the gate.
Era Kemani ne Yedusuni baavunaanyizibwanga okufuuwa amakondeere, n’okukuba ebitaasa, n’okukubira ebivuga ebirala ku luyimba lwa Katonda. Batabani ba Yedusuni baabeeranga ku wankaaki.
43 And all the people went every one to his home: and David returned to bless his house.
Awo abantu bonna ne baddayo ewaabwe, ne Dawudi n’addayo okusabira ennyumba ye omukisa.
