1 Chronicles 16
1 And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had spread for it; and they presented burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God.
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.
2 And when David had ended offering up the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah.
Davide atatsiriza kupereka nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano, iye anadalitsa anthu mʼdzina la Yehova.
3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread and a measure [of wine] and a raisin-cake.
Kenaka anagawira Mwisraeli aliyense, wamwamuna ndi wamkazi, aliyense buledi mmodzi, nthuli yanyama ndiponso keke yamphesa zowuma.
4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to do the service before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate, and to thank and praise Jehovah the God of Israel:
Iye anasankha Alevi ena kuti azitumikira pamene panali Bokosi la Yehova, kuti azipemphera, azithokoza ndi kulemekeza Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli.
5 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with instruments of lutes and with harps; and Asaph sounding with cymbals;
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,
6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
ndipo ansembe Benaya ndi Yahazieli amawomba malipenga nthawi zonse pamaso pa Bokosi la Chipangano la Mulungu.
7 Then on that day David delivered first [this psalm] to give thanks to Jehovah through Asaph and his brethren.
Tsiku limeneli Davide anayamba nʼkusankha Asafu ndi anzake kuti ndiwo apereke nyimbo iyi ya matamando kwa Yehova:
8 Give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known his acts among the peoples.
Yamikani Yehova, itanani dzina lake; lalikani za ntchito zake pakati pa mitundu ya anthu.
9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; Meditate upon all his wondrous works.
Imbirani Iye, muyimbireni nyimbo zamatamando; nenani za ntchito zake zonse zodabwitsa.
10 Glory in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
Nyadirani dzina lake loyera; ikondwere mitima ya iwo akufunafuna Yehova.
11 Seek Jehovah and his strength, Seek his face continually;
Dalirani Yehova ndi mphamvu zake; funafunani nkhope yake nthawi zonse.
12 Remember his wondrous works which he hath done; His miracles, and the judgments of his mouth:
Kumbukirani ntchito zodabwitsa wazichita, zozizwitsa zake, ndi kuweruza kwa mʼkamwa mwake,
13 Ye seed of Israel his servant, Ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
inu zidzukulu za Israeli mtumiki wake, inu ana a Yakobo, osankhidwa ake.
14 He, Jehovah, is our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
Iye ndiye Yehova Mulungu wathu; chiweruzo chake chili pa dziko lonse lapansi.
15 Be ye ever mindful of his covenant, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations, —
Iye amakumbukira pangano lake nthawi zonse, mawu amene Iye analamula, kwa mibado miyandamiyanda,
16 Which he made with Abraham, And of his oath unto Isaac;
pangano limene anachita ndi Abrahamu, lonjezo limene analumbira kwa Isake.
17 And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, Unto Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Iye analitsimikiza kwa Yakobo monga lamulo, kwa Israeli monga pangano lamuyaya.
18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;
“Kwa iwe, ine ndidzapereka dziko la Kanaani monga cholowa chimene udzachilandira.”
19 When ye were a few men in number, Of small account, and strangers in it.
Ali anthu owerengeka, ochepa ndithu, komanso alendo mʼdzikomo,
20 And they went from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people.
iwo anayendayenda kuchoka ku mtundu wina kupita ku mtundu wina, ku ufumu wina kupita ku ufumu wina.
21 He suffered no man to oppress them, And reproved kings for their sakes,
Iye sanalole munthu aliyense kuti awapondereze; chifukwa cha iwo, Iye anadzudzula mafumu:
22 [Saying, ] Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.
“Musakhudze odzozedwa anga; musawachitire choyipa aneneri anga.”
23 Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth; Publish his salvation from day to day.
Imbirani Yehova, dziko lonse lapansi; lalikani za chipulumutso chake tsiku ndi tsiku.
24 Declare his glory among the nations, His wondrous works among all peoples.
Lengezani za ulemerero wake kwa mitundu yonse, ntchito zake zonse zodabwitsa kwa anthu onse.
25 For Jehovah is great, and exceedingly to be praised; And he is terrible above all gods.
Pakuti Yehova ndi wamkulu ndi woyenera kwambiri kumutamanda; Iyeyo ayenera kuopedwa kuposa milungu yonse.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens.
Pakuti milungu yonse ya anthu a mitundu ina ndi mafano wopanda pake, koma Yehova analenga kumwamba.
27 Majesty and splendour are before him; Strength and gladness in his place.
Ulemerero ndi ufumu zili pamaso pake; mphamvu ndi chimwemwe zili pa malo pokhala Iye.
28 Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, Give unto Jehovah glory and strength!
Perekani kwa Yehova, Inu mabanja a anthu a mitundu ina, perekani kwa Yehova ulemerero ndi mphamvu,
29 Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name! Bring an oblation, and come before him: Worship Jehovah in holy splendour.
perekani kwa Yehova ulemerero woyenera dzina lake. Bweretsani chopereka ndipo mufike pamaso pake; pembedzani Yehova mu ulemerero wachiyero chake.
30 Tremble before him, all the earth: The world also is established, it shall not be moved.
Njenjemerani pamaso pake, dziko lonse lapansi! Dziko linakhazikika kolimba; silingasunthidwe.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth!
Zakumwamba zisangalale, dziko lapansi likondwere; anene anthu a mitundu ina, “Yehova ndi mfumu!”
32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; Let the field exult, and all that is therein.
Nyanja ikokome, ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo; minda ikondwere, ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo!
33 Then shall the trees of the forest sing out at the presence of Jehovah, For he cometh to judge the earth.
Ndipo mitengo ya mʼnkhalango idzayimba, idzayimba chifukwa cha chimwemwe pamaso pa Yehova, pakuti akubwera kudzaweruza dziko lapansi.
34 Give thanks unto Jehovah, for he is good; For his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
Yamikani Yehova, pakuti Iye ndi wabwino; chikondi chake chikhala mpaka muyaya.
35 And say, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us, and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, To triumph in thy praise.
Fuwulani kuti, “Tipulumutseni, Inu Mulungu wa chipulumutso chathu, mutisonkhanitse ndipo mutipulumutse kwa anthu a mitundu ina, kuti tiyamike dzina lanu loyera, kuti tikutamandeni.”
36 Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And all the people said, Amen! and praised Jehovah.
Atamandike Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, kuyambira muyaya mpaka muyaya. Ndipo anthu onse anati, “Ameni” ndipo “Tikutamandani Yehova.”
37 And he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Asaph and his brethren, to do the service before the ark continually, as every day's duty required;
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.
38 and Obed-Edom, and their brethren, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah as doorkeepers.
Iye anasiyanso Obedi-Edomu pamodzi ndi anzake 68 kuti azitumikira nawo pamodzi. Obedi-Edomu mwana wa Yedutuni ndi Hosa anali alonda a pa chipata.
39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon,
Davide anasiya wansembe Zadoki ndi ansembe anzake ku chihema cha Yehova ku malo achipembedzo ku Gibiyoni
40 to offer up burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the altar of burnt-offering continually, morning and evening, and according to all that is written in the law of Jehovah, which he commanded Israel;
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.
41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, because his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;
Anthuwo anali pamodzi ndi Hemani ndi Yedutuni ndi onse amene anawasankha mowatchula dzina kuti apereke mayamiko kwa Yehova, “pakuti chikondi chake ndi chosatha.”
42 and with them, [with] Heman and Jeduthun, trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud; and the musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were at the gate.
Hemani ndi Yedutuni anali oyangʼanira malipenga ndi ziwaya ndiponso zipangizo zina zoyimbira nyimbo zachipembedzo. Ana a Yedutuni anawayika kuti aziyangʼanira pa chipata.
43 And all the people departed every one to his house; and David returned to bless his household.
Kenaka anthu onse anachoka, aliyense kupita kwawo. Ndipo Davide anabwerera ku nyumba kwake kukadalitsa banja lake.
