1 Chronicles 16
1 They brought the Ark of God and placed it in the tent that David had prepared for it. They presented burnt offerings and friendship offerings to God.
Na wɔde Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no kɔsii ntomadan sononko bi a Dawid asiesie mu, na wɔbɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
2 Once David had finished presenting the burnt offerings and friendship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
Dawid wieeɛ no, ɔhyiraa nnipa no wɔ Awurade din mu.
3 Then he shared out to every Israelite, to every man and woman, a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake.
Na ɔkyɛɛ Israelfoɔ mmaa ne mmarima nyinaa aduane. Obiara nyaa burodo mua, nankum ne bobe aba ɔfam.
4 David assigned some of the Levites to serve as ministers before the Ark of the Lord, to remember, to thank, and to praise the Lord, the God of Israel.
Dawid yii saa Lewifoɔ yi sɛ wɔnni nnipa no anim wɔ ɔsom mu, wɔ Awurade Apam Adaka no anim, na wɔmfa so nsrɛ ne nhyira, na wɔnna Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn ase na wɔnkamfo no.
5 Asaph was the one in charge, Zechariah was second, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel. They played harps and lyres, and Asaph struck the cymbals,
Asaf a na ɔda kuo yi ano no bɔɔ kyankyan no. Na nʼabadiakyirefoɔ yɛ Sakaria a ɔtɔ so mmienu, afei, Yeiel, Semiramot, Yehiel, Matitia, Eliab, Benaia, Obed-Edom ne Yahasiel. Wɔn na wɔbɔɔ mmɛnta ne asankuten.
6 and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blew the trumpets continually in front of the Ark of God's Agreement.
Asɔfoɔ Benaia ne Yahasiel taa bɔ ntotorobɛnto wɔ Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no anim.
7 This was the day that David first instructed Asaph and his relatives to express thanks to the Lord in this way:
Saa ɛda no, Dawid de saa aseda dwom a ɔde ma Awurade yi maa Asaf ne ne mfɛfoɔ Lewifoɔ:
8 Give the Lord thanks, worship his wonderful nature, let people know what he's done!
Ɛda Awurade ase na da ne kɛseyɛ adi. Ma ewiase nyinaa nhunu deɛ wayɛ.
9 Sing to him, sing his praises; tell everyone the great things he's done!
Monto dwom mma no, monto ayɛyie dwom mma no; monka nʼanwanwadeɛ no nyinaa.
10 Be proud of his holy character; be happy, all who come to the Lord!
Monhoahoa mo ho wɔ ne din kronkron mu; momma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ Awurade no nnya akoma mu anigyeɛ.
11 Look for the Lord, and his strength; always look to be with him.
Momma mo ani nna Awurade ne nʼahoɔden so; na monhwehwɛ nʼanim ɛberɛ biara.
12 Remember all the wonderful things he's done, the miracles he's performed, and the judgments he's carried out,
Monkae anwanwadeɛ a wayɛ, ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ne atemmuo a ɔbuiɛ.
13 descendants of Israel, children of Jacob, his chosen people.
Ao Israel mma, Onyankopɔn ɔsomfoɔ, Ao Yakob mma a wapa wɔn.
14 He is the Lord, our God, his judgments cover the whole earth.
Ɔyɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn; nʼahennie da adi wɔ asase so nyinaa.
15 He remembers his agreement forever, the promise he made lasts for a thousand generations;
Ɔkae nʼapam daa nyinaa, asɛm a ɔhyɛ maa awoɔ ntoantoasoɔ apem no.
16 the agreement he made with Abraham, the vow he gave to Isaac.
Yei ne apam a ɔne Abraham yɛeɛ ne ntam a ɔka kyerɛɛ Isak.
17 The Lord legally confirmed it with Jacob, he made this everlasting agreement with Israel:
Ɔhyɛɛ mu den maa Yakob sɛ mmara, de maa Israel sɛ apam a ɛbɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ;
18 saying, “I will give the land of Canaan to you for you to possess.”
“Mede Kanaan asase no bɛma wo sɛ kyɛfa a ɛbɛyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ.”
19 He said this when there were only a few of you, just a small group of foreigners in the land.
Ɔkaa yei wɔ ɛberɛ a na wɔnnɔɔso, ahɔhokuo ketewa bi a wɔwɔ Kanaan.
20 They wandered from country to country, from one kingdom to the next.
Wɔfirii aman so kɔɔ aman so, firii ahemman mu kɔɔ ahemman mu.
21 He didn't let anyone one treat them badly; warning kings to leave them alone:
Nanso, wamma obi anhyɛ wɔn so; wɔn enti, ɔkaa ahene anim sɛ;
22 “Don't touch my chosen people; don't harm my prophets!”
“Mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn a masra wɔn ngo, na monnyɛ mʼadiyifoɔ bɔne bi.”
23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth, sing to the Lord! Each day let everyone know of his salvation!
Momma asase nyinaa nto dwom mma Awurade! Ɛda biara mompae mu nka asɛmpa no sɛ ɔgye nkwa.
24 Declare his glorious acts among the nations, the wonderful things he does among all peoples.
Mommɔ nʼanimuonyam nneyɛɛ ho dawuro wɔ amanaman mu. Monka anwanwadeɛ a ɔyɛ nkyerɛ obiara.
25 For the Lord is great, and deserves the best praise! He is to be respected with awe above all gods.
Awurade yɛ kɛseɛ! Na ɔfata ayɛyie! Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsuro no sene anyame nyinaa.
26 For all the gods of other nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens!
Anyame a wɔwɔ aman foforɔ so yɛ ahoni bi kwa, nanso Awurade na ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro!
27 Splendor and majesty are his; power and glory are in his sanctuary.
Animuonyam ne tumi atwa ne ho ahyia, ahoɔden ne ahoɔfɛ wɔ nʼatenaeɛ.
28 Give the Lord credit, nations of the world, credit him with glory and strength.
Momfa mma Awurade, Ao amanaman mmusuakuo, momfa animuonyam ne tumi mma Awurade.
29 Give the Lord the glory he deserves; bring an offering and come before him. Worship the Lord in his magnificent holiness.
Momfa animuonyam a ɛfata mma Awurade! Momfa mo afɔrebɔdeɛ mmra mmɛsom no. Monsɔre Awurade wɔ ne hyerɛn kronkron nyinaa mu.
30 Let everyone on earth tremble in his presence. The world is held together firmly—it cannot be broken apart.
Momma asase nyinaa mpopo wɔ nʼanim. Wɔatim ewiase denden a ɛntumi nhinhim.
31 Let the heavens sing for joy, let the earth be happy. Tell the nations, “The Lord is in charge!”
Momma ɔsoro ani nnye na asase nsɛpɛ ne ho! Momma aman nyinaa nte sɛ, “Awurade yɛ ɔhene!”
32 Let the sea and everything in it shout with praise! Let the fields and everything there celebrate;
Momma ɛpo ne deɛ ɛwɔ mu nyinaa nteam nkamfo no. Momma mfuo ne wɔn nnɔbaeɛ mfa ahosɛpɛ mpue.
33 Let all the trees in the forest sing for joy, for he is coming to judge the earth.
Momma kwaeɛm nnua nnyegyeeɛ nyɛ ayɛyie Awurade anim! Ɛfiri sɛ ɔrebɛbu asase atɛn.
34 Say thank you to the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love continues forever!
Monna Awurade ase, ɛfiri sɛ ɔyɛ na nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa.
35 Shout out, “Save us, Lord, our God! Bring us back together from among the nations, rescue us, so we can thank you and praise how magnificent and holy you are.”
Monteateam sɛ, “Gye yɛn, Ao yɛn nkwagyeɛ Onyankopɔn! Boa yɛn ano, na gye yɛn firi amanaman nsam, na yɛatumi ada wo din kronkron ase, na yɛadi ahurisie akamfo wo.”
36 How wonderful is the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives forever and ever! Then all the people said, “Amen!” and “Praise the Lord!”
Ayɛyie nka Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, ɛmfiri mmerɛsanten nkɔsi nnasanten. Na nnipa no nyinaa gyee so sɛ, “Amen!” Na wɔkamfoo Awurade.
37 Then David made sure Asaph and his brothers would minister continually before the Ark of the Lord's Agreement, performing whatever services were needed every day,
Dawid hyehyɛ maa Asaf ne ne mfɛfoɔ Lewifoɔ no sɛ wɔnsom daa wɔ Awurade Apam Adaka no anim, na wɔnyɛ deɛ ɛhia sɛ wɔyɛ no da biara.
38 as well as Obed-edom and his sixty-eight relatives. Obed-edom, son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, were gatekeepers.
Saa ekuo yi mu nnipa ne Obed-Edom (a ɔyɛ Yedutun babarima no), Hosa ne Lewifoɔ aduosia nwɔtwe a wɔyɛ apono anohwɛfoɔ.
39 David put Zadok the priest and his fellow priests in charge of the Ark of the Lord at the high place in Gibeon
Dawid de ɔsɔfoɔ Sadok ne ne mfɛfoɔ asɔfoɔ tenaa Awurade Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan a ɛwɔ bepɔ Gibeon mu no, sɛ wɔnsom Awurade anim wɔ hɔ.
40 to 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 ordered Israel to follow.
Anɔpa ne anwummerɛ biara, wɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia a wɔayi asi hɔ ama saa dwumadie no so. Na wɔdii biribiara a wɔatwerɛ sɛ Awurade mmara a ɔde ama Israel no so.
41 They were accompanied by Heman, Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen and identified by name to give thanks to the Lord, for “His trustworthy love lasts forever.”
Dawid sane yii Heman, Yedutun ne afoforɔ bi a wɔbobɔɔ wɔn din, yiyii wɔn no sɛ, wɔnna Awurade ase “Na nʼadɔeɛ no tim hɔ daa.”
42 Heman and Jeduthun used their trumpets and cymbals to make music to accompany the songs of God. The sons of Jeduthun guarded the gate.
Heman ne Yedutun bɔɔ wɔn ntotorobɛnto, kyankyan ne nnwontodeɛ ahodoɔ de gyegyee ayɛyie nnwom a wɔto maa Onyankopɔn no ho. Na wɔyii Yedutun mmammarima maa wɔyɛɛ apono anohwɛfoɔ.
43 Then all the people went home, and David went to bless his family.
Na nnipa no nyinaa sane kɔɔ wɔn afie mu. Dawid nso sane kɔɔ ne fie, kɔhyiraa ne fiefoɔ.
