1 Chronicles 16

1 And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it, and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before 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 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.

Dawid wieeɛ no, ɔhyiraa nnipa no wɔ Awurade din mu.

3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a cake made in a pan, and a sweet cake.

Na ɔkyɛɛ Israelfoɔ mmaa ne mmarima nyinaa aduane. Obiara nyaa burodo mua, nankum ne bobe aba ɔfam.

4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to celebrate and to thank and 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 the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, with psalteries and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;

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 Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.

Asɔfoɔ Benaia ne Yahasiel taa bɔ ntotorobɛnto wɔ Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no anim.

7 Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto the LORD, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

Saa ɛda no, Dawid de saa aseda dwom a ɔde ma Awurade yi maa Asaf ne ne mfɛfoɔ Lewifoɔ:

8 O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.

Ɛda Awurade ase na da ne kɛseyɛ adi. Ma ewiase nyinaa nhunu deɛ wayɛ.

9 Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works.

Monto dwom mma no, monto ayɛyie dwom mma no; monka nʼanwanwadeɛ no nyinaa.

10 Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

Monhoahoa mo ho wɔ ne din kronkron mu; momma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ Awurade no nnya akoma mu anigyeɛ.

11 Seek ye the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually.

Momma mo ani nna Awurade ne nʼahoɔden so; na monhwehwɛ nʼanim ɛberɛ biara.

12 Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;

Monkae anwanwadeɛ a wayɛ, ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ne atemmuo a ɔbuiɛ.

13 O ye seed of Israel His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.

Ao Israel mma, Onyankopɔn ɔsomfoɔ, Ao Yakob mma a wapa wɔn.

14 He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

Ɔyɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn; nʼahennie da adi wɔ asase so nyinaa.

15 Remember His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations;

Ɔkae nʼapam daa nyinaa, asɛm a ɔhyɛ maa awoɔ ntoantoasoɔ apem no.

16 The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac;

Yei ne apam a ɔne Abraham yɛeɛ ne ntam a ɔka kyerɛɛ Isak.

17 And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;

Ɔhyɛɛ mu den maa Yakob sɛ mmara, de maa Israel sɛ apam a ɛbɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ;

18 Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.'

“Mede Kanaan asase no bɛma wo sɛ kyɛfa a ɛbɛyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ.”

19 When ye were but a few men in number, yea, very few, and sojourners in it,

Ɔkaa yei wɔ ɛberɛ a na wɔnnɔɔso, ahɔhokuo ketewa bi a wɔwɔ Kanaan.

20 And when they went about from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people,

Wɔfirii aman so kɔɔ aman so, firii ahemman mu kɔɔ ahemman mu.

21 He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings:

Nanso, wamma obi anhyɛ wɔn so; wɔn enti, ɔkaa ahene anim sɛ;

22 'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.'

“Mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn a masra wɔn ngo, na monnyɛ mʼadiyifoɔ bɔne bi.”

23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; proclaim His salvation from day to day.

Momma asase nyinaa nto dwom mma Awurade! Ɛda biara mompae mu nka asɛmpa no sɛ ɔgye nkwa.

24 Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.

Mommɔ nʼanimuonyam nneyɛɛ ho dawuro wɔ amanaman mu. Monka anwanwadeɛ a ɔyɛ nkyerɛ obiara.

25 For great is the LORD, and highly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods.

Awurade yɛ kɛseɛ! Na ɔfata ayɛyie! Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsuro no sene anyame nyinaa.

26 For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; but the LORD made the heavens.

Anyame a wɔwɔ aman foforɔ so yɛ ahoni bi kwa, nanso Awurade na ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro!

27 Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and gladness are in His place.

Animuonyam ne tumi atwa ne ho ahyia, ahoɔden ne ahoɔfɛ wɔ nʼatenaeɛ.

28 Ascribe unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength.

Momfa mma Awurade, Ao amanaman mmusuakuo, momfa animuonyam ne tumi mma Awurade.

29 Ascribe unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come before Him; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

Momfa animuonyam a ɛfata mma Awurade! Momfa mo afɔrebɔdeɛ mmra mmɛsom no. Monsɔre Awurade wɔ ne hyerɛn kronkron nyinaa mu.

30 Tremble before Him, all the earth; the world also is established that it cannot be moved.

Momma asase nyinaa mpopo wɔ nʼanim. Wɔatim ewiase denden a ɛntumi nhinhim.

31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; and let them say among the nations: 'The LORD reigneth.'

Momma ɔsoro ani nnye na asase nsɛpɛ ne ho! Momma aman nyinaa nte sɛ, “Awurade yɛ ɔhene!”

32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; let the field exult, and all that is therein;

Momma ɛpo ne deɛ ɛwɔ mu nyinaa nteam nkamfo no. Momma mfuo ne wɔn nnɔbaeɛ mfa ahosɛpɛ mpue.

33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy, before the LORD, for He is come to judge the earth.

Momma kwaeɛm nnua nnyegyeeɛ nyɛ ayɛyie Awurade anim! Ɛfiri sɛ ɔrebɛbu asase atɛn.

34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.

Monna Awurade ase, ɛfiri sɛ ɔyɛ na nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa.

35 And say ye: 'Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, that we may triumph in Thy praise.'

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 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. And all the people said: 'Amen,' and praised the LORD.

Ayɛyie nka Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, ɛmfiri mmerɛsanten nkɔsi nnasanten. Na nnipa no nyinaa gyee so sɛ, “Amen!” Na wɔkamfoo Awurade.

37 So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required;

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 and Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jedithun and Hosah to be door-keepers;

Saa ekuo yi mu nnipa ne Obed-Edom (a ɔyɛ Yedutun babarima no), Hosa ne Lewifoɔ aduosia nwɔtwe a wɔyɛ apono anohwɛfoɔ.

39 and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at 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 offer burnt-offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of burnt-offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the Law of the LORD, which He commanded unto Israel;

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 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because His mercy endureth for ever;

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 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at 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 And all the people departed every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.

Na nnipa no nyinaa sane kɔɔ wɔn afie mu. Dawid nso sane kɔɔ ne fie, kɔhyiraa ne fiefoɔ.
