Chronicles I 16
1 So they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tabernacle which David pitched for it; and they offered whole 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 David finished offering up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings, and blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
Daudi alipo maliza kutoa dhabiu ya kuteketeza na sadaka za ushirika, aliwabariki watu kwa jina la Yahweh.
3 And he divided to every man of Israel (both men and women), to [every] man one baker's loaf, and a cake.
Alisambaza kwa kila Misraeli, mwanaume na mwanamke, kipande cha mkate, na kipande cha nyama, na keki ya mzabibu.
4 And he appointed before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, Levites to minister [and] lift up the voice, and to give thanks and praise the Lord 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 [was] the chief, and next to him Zacharias, Jeiel, Semiramoth, and Jeiel, Mattathias, Eliab, and Banaeas, and Abdedom: and Jeiel sounding with musical instruments, lutes [and] harps, and Asaph 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 Banaeas and Oziel the priests [sounding] continually with trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God in that day.
Benaia na Yahazieli walikuwa wakupiga tarumbeta kila mara, mbele sanduku la agano la Mungu.
7 Then David first gave orders to praise the Lord by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
Kisha katika hiyo siku Daudi akawachagua Asafu na kaka zake kuimba hii nyimbo ya shukurani kwa Yahweh.
8 Song. Give thanks to the Lord, call upon him by his name, make known his designs among the people.
Mpeni shukurani Yahweh, liitieni jina lake; fahamisheni mataifa matendo yake.
9 Sing [songs] to him, and sing hymns to him, relate to all [people] his wonderful deeds, which the Lord has wrought.
Mwiimbieni, imbeni sifa kwake; semeni matendo yake ya ajabu.
10 Praise his holy name, the heart that seeks his pleasure shall rejoice.
Jisifuni katika jina lake takatifu; mioyo ya wanao mtafuta Yahweh ishangilie.
11 Seek the Lord and be strong, seek his face continually.
Mtafute Yahweh na nguvu zake; tafuteni uwepo wake siku zote.
12 Remember his wonderful works which he has wrought, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
Kumbukeni matendo aliyo ya fanya kwenu, miujiza yake na amri za kinywa chake,
13 [you] seed of Israel his servants, [you] seed of Jacob his chosen ones.
enyi uzao wa Israeli mtumishi wake, enyi watu wa Yakobo, wateule wake.
14 He [is] the Lord our God; his judgments [are] in all the earth.
Yeye ni Yahweh, Mungu wetu. Amri zake zipo duniani kote.
15 Let us remember his covenant for ever, his word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
Tunzeni agano lake akilini mwenu milele, neno alilo liamuru kwa vizazi elfu moja.
16 which he covenanted with Abraham, and his oath [sworn] to Isaac.
Anakumbuka agano alilo lifanya na Ibrahimu, na nadhiri yake kwake Isaka.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob for an ordinance, to Israel [as] an everlasting covenant,
Hili ndilo alilo lithibitisha kwa Yakobo kama amri maalumu, na kwa Israeli kama agano la milele.
18 saying, To you will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
Alisema, “Nitakupa nchi ya Kanani kama sehemu ya urithi wako.”
19 when they were few in number, when they were but little, and lived as strangers in it;
Nilisema hili mlipo kuwa wachache kwa idadi, wachache sana, mlipo kuwa wageni katika nchi.
20 and went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.
Walienda taifa hadi taifa, kutoka ufalme mmoja hadi mwingine.
21 He suffered not a man to oppress them, and he reproved kings for their sakes,
Hakuwaruhusu yeyote awatese; aliwahadhibu wafalme kwa ajili yao.
22 saying, Touch not my anointed ones, and deal not wrongfully with my prophets.
Alisema, “Msiwaguse wapakwa mafuta wangu, na msiwadhuru manabii wangu.”
23 Sing you to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim his salvation from day to day.
Imbeni kwa Yahweh, dunia yote; tangazeni wokovu wake siku hadi siku.
24 Declare among the nations his glory, his wondrous deeds among all peoples.
Kirini utukufu wake kwa mataifa, matendo yake makuu kwa mataifa yote.
25 For the Lord [is] great, and greatly to be praised: he [is] to be feared 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 nations [are] idols; but our God made the heavens.
Kwa kuwa miungu ya mataifa ni sanamu, lakini ni Yahweh aliye umba mbingu.
27 Glory and praise [are] in his presence; strength and rejoicing [are] in his place.
Uzuri wa ajabu na utukufu upo uweponi mwake. Uwezo na furaha upo kwake.
28 Give to the Lord, you families of the nations, give to the Lord glory and strength.
Mpeni sifa Yahweh, enyi koo za watu, mpeni sifa Yahweh utukufu na uwezo;
29 Give to the Lord the glory [belonging] to his name: take gifts and offer [them] before him; and worship the Lord in his holy courts.
Mpeni Yahweh utukufu upasao jina lake. Leta sadaka na mje kwake. Muinamieni Yahweh katika utakatifu wa uzuri wake.
30 Let the whole earth fear before him; let the earth be established, and not be moved.
Mtetemeke mbele zake, dunia yote. Dunia imeimarishwa; haiwezi kutikisika.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth exult; and let them say among the nations, The Lord reigns.
Mbingu nazo ziwe nafuraha, na dunia ifurahi; na wasema kwa mataifa yote, “Yahweh anatawala.”
32 The sea with its fullness shall resound and the tree of the field, and all things in it.
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 wood rejoice before the Lord, for he is come to judge the earth.
Na miti iliyopo misituni ipige kelele kwa Yahweh, kwa kuwa anakuja kuhukumu dunia.
34 Give thanks to the Lord, for [it is] good, for his mercy [is] for ever.
Toeni shukurani kwa Yahweh, kwa kuwa ni mwema, uaminifu wa agano lake la dumu ata milele.
35 And say you, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us, and rescue us from among the heathen, that we may praise your holy name, and glory in your praises.
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] the Lord God of Israel from everlasting and to everlasting: And all the people shall say, Amen. So they praised the Lord.
Na Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli, asifiwe kutoka milele na milele. Watu wote wakasema, “Amina” na wakamsifu Yahweh.
37 And they left there Asaph and his brethren before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to minister before the ark continually, according to the service of each day: from day to day.
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 Abdedom and his brethren [were] sixty and eight; and Abdedom the son of Idithun, and Osa, [were] to be doorkeepers.
Obedi Edomu mwana wa Yeduthuni, pamoja na Hosa, walikuwa wawe walinzi wa lango.
39 And [they appointed] Sadoc the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place in Gabaon,
Zadoki kuhani na makuhani wenzake walikuwa watumike mbele ya hema la Yahweh katika mahali pa juu huko Gibeoni.
40 to offer up whole burnt offerings continually morning and evening, and according to all things written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded the children of Israel by Moses the servant of God.
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 him [were] Aeman and Idithun, and the rest chosen out by name to praise the Lord, for his mercy [endures] 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 [there were] trumpets and cymbals to sound aloud, and musical instruments for the songs of God: and the sons of Idithun [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 went every one to his home: and David returned to bless his house.
Kisha watu wote walirudi nyumbani, na Daudi akarudi kubariki nyumba yake.
