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.
Wakaleta ndani Sanduku la Mungu na kuweka katika ya hema ambalo Daudi aliandaa. Kisha wakatoa sadaka ya kuteketeza na sadaka ya ushirika mbele ya Mungu.
2 And when David had ended offering up the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah.
Daudi alipo maliza kutoa dhabiu ya kuteketeza na sadaka za ushirika, aliwabariki watu kwa jina la Yahweh.
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.
Alisambaza kwa kila Misraeli, mwanaume na mwanamke, kipande cha mkate, na kipande cha nyama, na keki ya mzabibu.
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:
Daudi aliewapangia baadhi ya Walawi kutumika mbele ya sanduku la Yahweh, na kusheherekea, kushukuru na kumsifu Yahweh, Mungu 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;
Hawa Walawi walikuwa Asafu kiongozi, wa pili kutoka kwake Zekaria, Yeieli, Shemiramothi, Yehieli, Matithia, Eliabu, Benaia, Obedi Edomu, na Yeieli. Hawa walikuwa wacheze na vyombo vya uzi na vinubi. Asafu alikuwa apige upatu, kwa kelele.
6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
Benaia na Yahazieli walikuwa wakupiga tarumbeta kila mara, mbele sanduku la agano la Mungu.
7 Then on that day David delivered first [this psalm] to give thanks to Jehovah through Asaph and his brethren.
Kisha katika hiyo siku Daudi akawachagua Asafu na kaka zake kuimba hii nyimbo ya shukurani kwa Yahweh.
8 Give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known his acts among the peoples.
Mpeni shukurani Yahweh, liitieni jina lake; fahamisheni mataifa matendo yake.
9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; Meditate upon all his wondrous works.
Mwiimbieni, imbeni sifa kwake; semeni matendo yake ya ajabu.
10 Glory in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
Jisifuni katika jina lake takatifu; mioyo ya wanao mtafuta Yahweh ishangilie.
11 Seek Jehovah and his strength, Seek his face continually;
Mtafute Yahweh na nguvu zake; tafuteni uwepo wake siku zote.
12 Remember his wondrous works which he hath done; His miracles, and the judgments of his mouth:
Kumbukeni matendo aliyo ya fanya kwenu, miujiza yake na amri za kinywa chake,
13 Ye seed of Israel his servant, Ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
enyi uzao wa Israeli mtumishi wake, enyi watu wa Yakobo, wateule wake.
14 He, Jehovah, is our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
Yeye ni Yahweh, Mungu wetu. Amri zake zipo duniani kote.
15 Be ye ever mindful of his covenant, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations, —
Tunzeni agano lake akilini mwenu milele, neno alilo liamuru kwa vizazi elfu moja.
16 Which he made with Abraham, And of his oath unto Isaac;
Anakumbuka agano alilo lifanya na Ibrahimu, na nadhiri yake kwake Isaka.
17 And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, Unto Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Hili ndilo alilo lithibitisha kwa Yakobo kama amri maalumu, na kwa Israeli kama agano la milele.
18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;
Alisema, “Nitakupa nchi ya Kanani kama sehemu ya urithi wako.”
19 When ye were a few men in number, Of small account, and strangers in it.
Nilisema hili mlipo kuwa wachache kwa idadi, wachache sana, mlipo kuwa wageni katika nchi.
20 And they went from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people.
Walienda taifa hadi taifa, kutoka ufalme mmoja hadi mwingine.
21 He suffered no man to oppress them, And reproved kings for their sakes,
Hakuwaruhusu yeyote awatese; aliwahadhibu wafalme kwa ajili yao.
22 [Saying, ] Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.
Alisema, “Msiwaguse wapakwa mafuta wangu, na msiwadhuru manabii wangu.”
23 Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth; Publish his salvation from day to day.
Imbeni kwa Yahweh, dunia yote; tangazeni wokovu wake siku hadi siku.
24 Declare his glory among the nations, His wondrous works among all peoples.
Kirini utukufu wake kwa mataifa, matendo yake makuu kwa mataifa yote.
25 For Jehovah is great, and exceedingly to be praised; And he is terrible above all gods.
Kwa kuwa Yahweh ni mkuu na ni wakusifiwa sana, na ni wakuogopewa kuliko miungu yote.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens.
Kwa kuwa miungu ya mataifa ni sanamu, lakini ni Yahweh aliye umba mbingu.
27 Majesty and splendour are before him; Strength and gladness in his place.
Uzuri wa ajabu na utukufu upo uweponi mwake. Uwezo na furaha upo kwake.
28 Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, Give unto Jehovah glory and strength!
Mpeni sifa Yahweh, enyi koo za watu, mpeni sifa Yahweh utukufu na uwezo;
29 Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name! Bring an oblation, and come before him: Worship Jehovah in holy splendour.
Mpeni Yahweh utukufu upasao jina lake. Leta sadaka na mje kwake. Muinamieni Yahweh katika utakatifu wa uzuri wake.
30 Tremble before him, all the earth: The world also is established, it shall not be moved.
Mtetemeke mbele zake, dunia yote. Dunia imeimarishwa; haiwezi kutikisika.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth!
Mbingu nazo ziwe nafuraha, na dunia ifurahi; na wasema kwa mataifa yote, “Yahweh anatawala.”
32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; Let the field exult, and all that is therein.
Bahari na ingurume, na inayo ijaza ipige kelele kwa furaha. Mashamba yawe na furaha tele, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake.
33 Then shall the trees of the forest sing out at the presence of Jehovah, For he cometh to judge the earth.
Na miti iliyopo misituni ipige kelele kwa Yahweh, kwa kuwa anakuja kuhukumu dunia.
34 Give thanks unto Jehovah, for he is good; For his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
Toeni shukurani kwa Yahweh, kwa kuwa ni mwema, uaminifu wa agano lake la dumu ata milele.
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.
Kisha sema, “Tuokoe, Mungu wa wokovu wetu. Tukusanye pamoja na utuokoe kutoka kwa mataifa mengine, ilikwamba tutoe shukurani kwa jina lako takatifu na tufurahi katika sifa zako.”
36 Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And all the people said, Amen! and praised Jehovah.
Na Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli, asifiwe kutoka milele na milele. Watu wote wakasema, “Amina” na wakamsifu Yahweh.
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;
Hivyo Daudi akamwacha Asafu na kaka zake pale mbele ya sanduku la Yahweh, kutumika daima mbele ya sanduku, kama kazi za kila siku zilivyo itaji. Obedi Edomu pamoja na ndugu sitini na nane walijumuishwa.
38 and Obed-Edom, and their brethren, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah as doorkeepers.
Obedi Edomu mwana wa Yeduthuni, pamoja na Hosa, walikuwa wawe walinzi wa lango.
39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon,
Zadoki kuhani na makuhani wenzake walikuwa watumike mbele ya hema la Yahweh katika mahali pa juu huko Gibeoni.
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;
Walikuwa watoe sadaka za kuteketeza kwa Yahweh kwenye madhabahu ya sadaka za kuteketeza daima asubui na jioni, kwa mujibu wa yote yalio andikwa katika amri za Yahweh, aliyo wapa Waisraeli kama sheria.
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;
Hemani na Yeduthuni walikuwa nao, pamoja na walio chaguliwa kwa jina, kumpa shukurani Yahweh, kwasababu uaminifu wa agano lake la dumu ata milele
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 na Yeduthuni walikuwa viongozi wa wao waliopiga tarumbeta, upatu, na vyombo vingine kwa muziki wa kumuabudu Mungu. Wana wa Yeduthuni walilinda lango.
43 And all the people departed every one to his house; and David returned to bless his household.
Kisha watu wote walirudi nyumbani, na Daudi akarudi kubariki nyumba yake.
