1 Chronicles 16
1 So they brought in the Arke of God, and set it in the middes of the Tabernacle that Dauid had pitched for it, and they offred burnt offrings and peace offrings before God.
Wakaleta Sanduku la Mungu na kuliweka ndani ya hema ambalo Daudi alikuwa amelisimamisha kwa ajili yake, na wakatoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani mbele za Mungu.
2 And when Dauid had made an ende of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, hee blessed the people in the Name of the Lord.
Baada ya Daudi kumaliza kutoa hizo sadaka za kuteketezwa na hizo sadaka za amani, akawabariki watu katika jina la Bwana.
3 And he dealt to euery one of Israel both man and woman, to euery one a cake of breade, and a piece of flesh, and a bottel of wine.
Kisha akamgawia kila Mwisraeli mwanaume na mwanamke mkate, andazi la tende na andazi la zabibu kavu.
4 And he appointed certaine of the Leuites to minister before the Arke of the Lord, and to rehearse and to thanke and prayse the Lord God of Israel:
Akawaweka pia baadhi ya Walawi ili wahudumu mbele ya Sanduku la Bwana kufanya maombi, kumshukuru na kumsifu Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli:
5 Asaph the chiefe, and next to him Zechariah, Ieiel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed Edom, euen Ieiel with instruments, violes and harpes, and Asaph to make a sound with cymbales,
Asafu ndiye alikuwa mkuu wao, akisaidiwa na Zekaria, Yeieli, Shemiramothi, Yehieli, Matithia, Eliabu, Benaya, Obed-Edomu na Yeieli. Hawa ndio wangepiga zeze na vinubi, Asafu angepiga matoazi,
6 And Benaiah and Iahaziel Priestes, with trumpets continually before the Arke of the couenant of God.
nao Benaya na Yahazieli makuhani, ndio wangepiga tarumbeta mara kwa mara mbele ya Sanduku la Agano la Mungu.
7 Then at that time Dauid did appoint at the beginning to giue thankes to the Lord by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
Siku ile, kitu cha kwanza Daudi alichofanya ni kumkabidhi Asafu na wenzake zaburi hii ya shukrani kwa Bwana:
8 Praise the Lord and call vpon his Name: declare his workes among the people.
Mshukuruni Bwana, liitieni jina lake; wajulisheni mataifa yale aliyoyatenda.
9 Sing vnto him, sing praise vnto him, and talke of all his wonderfull workes.
Mwimbieni yeye, mwimbieni yeye sifa; waambieni matendo yake yote ya ajabu.
10 Reioyce in his holy Name: let the hearts of them that seeke the Lord reioyce.
Lishangilieni jina lake takatifu; mioyo ya wale wamtafutao Bwana na ifurahi.
11 Seeke the Lord and his strength: seeke his face continually.
Mtafuteni Bwana na nguvu zake; utafuteni uso wake siku zote.
12 Remember his marueilous workes that he hath done, his wonders, and the iudgements of his mouth,
Kumbuka matendo ya ajabu aliyoyafanya, miujiza yake na hukumu alizozitamka,
13 O seede of Israel his seruant, O the children of Iaakob his chosen.
enyi wazao wa Israeli mtumishi wake, enyi wana wa Yakobo, wateule wake.
14 He is the Lord our God: his iudgements are throughout all the earth.
Yeye ndiye Bwana Mungu wetu; hukumu zake zimo duniani pote.
15 Remember his couenant for euer, and the worde, which hee commanded to a thousand generations:
Hulikumbuka agano lake milele, neno ambalo aliamuru, kwa vizazi elfu,
16 Which he made with Abraham, and his othe to Izhak:
agano alilolifanya na Abrahamu, kiapo alichomwapia Isaki.
17 And hath confirmed it to Iaakob for a Law, and to Israel for an euerlasting couenant,
Alilithibitisha kwa Yakobo kuwa amri, kwa Israeli liwe agano la milele:
18 Saying, To thee will I giue the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.
“Nitakupa wewe nchi ya Kanaani kuwa sehemu utakayoirithi.”
19 When ye were fewe in number, yea, a very fewe, and strangers therein,
Walipokuwa wachache kwa idadi, wachache sana na wageni ndani yake,
20 And walked about from nation to nation, and from one kingdome to another people,
walitangatanga kutoka taifa moja hadi jingine, kutoka ufalme mmoja hadi mwingine.
21 He suffered no man to do them wrong, but rebuked Kings for their sakes, saying,
Hakuruhusu mtu yeyote awaonee; kwa ajili yao aliwakemea wafalme, akisema:
22 Touch not mine anoynted, and doe my Prophets no harme.
“Msiwaguse niliowatia mafuta; msiwadhuru manabii wangu.”
23 Sing vnto the Lord all the earth: declare his saluation from day to day.
Mwimbieni Bwana dunia yote; tangazeni wokovu wake siku baada ya siku.
24 Declare his glory among the nations, and his wonderful workes among all people.
Tangazeni utukufu wake katikati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu miongoni mwa mataifa yote.
25 For the Lord is great and much to be praised, and hee is to bee feared aboue all gods.
Kwa kuwa Bwana ni mkuu, mwenye kustahili kusifiwa kuliko wote; yeye ni wa kuogopwa kuliko miungu yote.
26 For all the gods of the people are idoles, but the Lord made the heauens.
Kwa maana miungu yote ya mataifa ni sanamu, lakini Bwana aliziumba mbingu.
27 Prayse and glory are before him: power and beautie are in his place.
Fahari na enzi viko mbele yake; nguvu na utukufu vimo patakatifu pake.
28 Giue vnto the Lord, ye families of the people: giue vnto the Lord glory and power.
Mpeni Bwana, enyi jamaa za mataifa, mpeni Bwana utukufu na nguvu,
29 Giue vnto the Lord ye glory of his Name: bring an offring and come before him, and worship the Lord in the glorious Sanctuarie.
mpeni Bwana utukufu unaostahili jina lake. Leteni sadaka na mje katika nyua zake; mwabuduni Bwana katika uzuri wa utakatifu wake.
30 Tremble ye before him, al the earth: surely the world shalbe stable and not moue.
Dunia yote na itetemeke mbele zake! Ulimwengu ameuweka imara; hauwezi kusogezwa.
31 Let the heauens reioyce, and let the earth be glad, and let them say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.
Mbingu na zishangilie, nchi na ifurahi; semeni katikati ya mataifa, “Bwana anatawala!”
32 Let the sea roare, and all that therein is: Let the field be ioyfull and all that is in it.
Bahari na ivume, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake; mashamba na yashangilie, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake.
33 Let the trees of the wood then reioyce at the presence of the Lord: for he commeth to iudge the earth.
Kisha miti ya msituni itaimba, itaimba kwa furaha mbele za Bwana, kwa maana anakuja kuihukumu dunia.
34 Prayse the Lord, for hee is good, for his mercie endureth for euer.
Mshukuruni Bwana kwa kuwa ni mwema; upendo wake wadumu milele.
35 And say ye, Saue vs, O God, our saluation, and gather vs, and deliuer vs from the heathen, that we may prayse thine holy Name, and glorie in thy praise.
Mlilieni, “Ee Mungu Mwokozi wetu, tuokoe. Tukusanye tena na utukomboe kutoka kwa mataifa, ili tuweze kulishukuru jina lako takatifu, na kushangilia katika sifa zako.”
36 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for euer and euer: and let all people say, So be it, and praise the Lord.
Atukuzwe Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, tangu milele na hata milele. Nao watu wote wakasema, “Amen,” na “Msifuni Bwana.”
37 Then he left there before the Arke of the Lordes couenant Asaph and his brethren to minister continually before the Arke, that which was to be done euery day:
Daudi akamwacha Asafu na wenzake mbele ya Sanduku la Agano la Bwana ili wahudumu humo mara kwa mara, kulingana na mahitaji ya kila siku.
38 And Obed Edom and his brethren, three score and eight: and Obed Edom the sonne of Ieduthun, and Hosah were porters.
Pia akamwacha Obed-Edomu pamoja na wenzake sitini na wanane wahudumu pamoja nao. Obed-Edomu mwana wa Yeduthuni na pia Hosa walikuwa mabawabu wa lango.
39 And Zadok the Priest and his brethren the Priestes were before the Tabernacle of ye Lord, in the hie place that was at Gibeon,
Daudi akamwacha kuhani Sadoki pamoja na makuhani wenzake mbele ya hema ya ibada ya Bwana katika mahali pa juu pa kuabudia huko Gibeoni
40 To offer burnt offrings vnto the Lord, vpon the burnt offring altar continually, in the morning and in the euening, euen according vnto all that is written in the law of the Lord, which hee commanded Israel.
ili kutoa sadaka za kuteketezwa kwa Bwana kwenye madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa mara kwa mara, asubuhi na jioni, sawasawa na kila kitu kilichoandikwa katika sheria ya Bwana ambayo alikuwa amempa Israeli.
41 And with them were Heman, and Ieduthun, and the rest that were chosen (which were appointed by names) to praise the Lord, because his mercie endureth for euer.
Waliohudumu pamoja nao walikuwa Hemani, Yeduthuni na wale wote waliochaguliwa na kutajwa kwa jina kumpa Bwana shukrani, “Kwa maana fadhili zake zadumu milele.”
42 Euen with them were Heman and Ioduthun, to make a sound with the cornets and with the cymbales, with excellent instruments of musicke: and the sonnes of Ieduthun were at the gate.
Hemani na Yeduthuni walikuwa na wajibu wa kupiga tarumbeta, matoazi na kutumia vyombo vingine kwa ajili ya nyimbo za sifa kwa Mungu. Wana wa Yeduthuni waliwekwa langoni.
43 And all the people departed, euerie man to his house: and Dauid returned to blesse his house.
Kisha watu wote wakaondoka, kila mmoja akarudi nyumbani kwake, naye Daudi akarudi nyumbani kuibariki jamaa yake.
