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.
Na wɔde Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no kosii ntamadan sononko bi a Dawid asiesie mu, na wɔbɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
2 And David finished offering up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings, and blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
Dawid wiee no, ohyiraa nkurɔfo no wɔ Awurade din mu.
3 And he divided to every man of Israel (both men and women), to [every] man one baker's loaf, and a cake.
Na ɔkyɛɛ Israelfo mmea ne mmarima nyinaa aduan. Obiara nyaa brodo mua, namkum ne bobe aba ɔfam.
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:
Dawid yii saa Lewifo yi sɛ wonni nnipa no anim wɔ ɔsom mu, wɔ Awurade Apam Adaka no anim, na wɔmfa so nsrɛ ne nhyira, na wɔnna Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn ase na wɔnkamfo no.
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:
Asaf a na ɔda kuw yi ano no bɔɔ kyɛnkyɛn no. Na nʼabediakyirifo yɛ Sakaria a ɔto so abien, afei Yeiel, Semiramot, Yehiel, Matitia, Eliab, Benaia, Obed-Edom ne Yahasiel. Wɔn na wɔbɔɔ mmɛnta ne asankuten.
6 and Banaeas and Oziel the priests [sounding] continually with trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God in that day.
Na Asɔfo Benaia ne Yahasiel taa bɔ ntorobɛnto wɔ Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no anim.
7 Then David first gave orders to praise the Lord by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
Saa da no, Dawid de saa aseda dwom a ɔde ma Awurade yi maa Asaf ne ne mfɛfo Lewifo:
8 Song. Give thanks to the Lord, call upon him by his name, make known his designs among the people.
Da Awurade ase na da ne kɛseyɛ adi. Ma wiase nyinaa nhu nea wayɛ.
9 Sing [songs] to him, and sing hymns to him, relate to all [people] his wonderful deeds, which the Lord has wrought.
Monto dwom mma no, monto ayeyi dwom mma no; monka nʼanwonwade no nyinaa.
10 Praise his holy name, the heart that seeks his pleasure shall rejoice.
Monhoahoa mo ho wɔ ne din kronkron mu; momma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ Awurade no nnya koma mu anigye.
11 Seek the Lord and be strong, seek his face continually.
Momma mo ani nna Awurade ne nʼahoɔden so; na monhwehwɛ nʼanim bere biara.
12 Remember his wonderful works which he has wrought, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
Monkae anwonwade a wayɛ, ne nsɛnkyerɛnne ne atɛn a obui.
13 [you] seed of Israel his servants, [you] seed of Jacob his chosen ones.
Mo Israelmma, Onyankopɔn somfo, Yakob mma a wapaw wɔn.
14 He [is] the Lord our God; his judgments [are] in all the earth.
Ɔyɛ Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn; nʼahenni da adi wɔ asase so nyinaa.
15 Let us remember his covenant for ever, his word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
Ɔkae nʼapam daa nyinaa, asɛm a ɔhyɛ maa awo ntoantoaso apem no.
16 which he covenanted with Abraham, and his oath [sworn] to Isaac.
Eyi ne apam a ɔne Abraham yɛe ne ntam a ɔka kyerɛɛ Isak.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob for an ordinance, to Israel [as] an everlasting covenant,
Ɔhyɛɛ mu den maa Yakob sɛ mmara, de maa Israel sɛ apam a ɛbɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ;
18 saying, To you will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
“Mede Kanaan asase no bɛma wo sɛ kyɛfa a ɛbɛyɛ wʼagyapade.”
19 when they were few in number, when they were but little, and lived as strangers in it;
Ɔkaa eyi bere a na wɔnnɔɔso, ahɔhokuw ketewa bi a wɔwɔ Kanaan.
20 and went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.
Wofii aman so kɔɔ aman so, fii ahemman mu kɔɔ ahemman mu.
21 He suffered not a man to oppress them, and he reproved kings for their sakes,
Nanso wamma obi anhyɛ wɔn so; wɔn nti, ɔkaa ahene anim se;
22 saying, Touch not my anointed ones, and deal not wrongfully with my prophets.
“Mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn a masra wɔn ngo, na monnyɛ mʼadiyifo bɔne bi.”
23 Sing you to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim his salvation from day to day.
Momma asase nyinaa nto dwom mma Awurade! Da biara, mompae mu nka asɛmpa no sɛ ogye nkwa.
24 Declare among the nations his glory, his wondrous deeds among all peoples.
Mommɔ nʼanuonyam nneyɛe ho dawuru wɔ amanaman mu. Monka anwonwade a ɔyɛ nkyerɛ obiara.
25 For the Lord [is] great, and greatly to be praised: he [is] to be feared above all gods.
Awurade yɛ ɔkɛse! Na nkamfo fata no! Ɛsɛ sɛ wosuro no sen anyame nyinaa.
26 For all the gods of the nations [are] idols; but our God made the heavens.
Aman so anyame nyinaa yɛ ahoni bi kwa, nanso Awurade na ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro!
27 Glory and praise [are] in his presence; strength and rejoicing [are] in his place.
Anuonyam ne tumi atwa ne ho ahyia, ahoɔden ne ahoɔfɛ wɔ nʼatenae.
28 Give to the Lord, you families of the nations, give to the Lord glory and strength.
Momfa mma Awurade, Amanaman mmusuakuw, momfa anuonyam ne tumi mma Awurade.
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.
Momfa anuonyam a ɛfata mma Awurade! Momfa mo afɔrebɔde mmra mmɛsom no. Monsɔre Awurade wɔ ne hyerɛn kronkron nyinaa mu.
30 Let the whole earth fear before him; let the earth be established, and not be moved.
Momma asase nyinaa mpopo wɔ nʼanim. Wɔatim wiase dennen a entumi nhinhim.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth exult; and let them say among the nations, The Lord reigns.
Momma ɔsoro ani nnye na asase nsɛpɛw ne ho! Momma aman nyinaa nte sɛ, Awurade yɛ ɔhene.
32 The sea with its fullness shall resound and the tree of the field, and all things in it.
Momma ɛpo ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa nteɛ mu nkamfo no. Momma mfuw ne wɔn nnɔbae mfa ahosɛpɛw mpue.
33 Then shall the trees of the wood rejoice before the Lord, for he is come to judge the earth.
Momma kwae nnua nnyigyei nyɛ ayeyi Awurade anim! Efisɛ ɔrebebu asase atɛn.
34 Give thanks to the Lord, for [it is] good, for his mercy [is] for ever.
Monna Awurade ase, efisɛ oye na nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa.
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.
Monteɛteɛ mu se, “Gye yɛn, Ao yɛn nkwagye Onyankopɔn! Boa yɛn ano, na gye yɛn fi amanaman nsam, na yɛatumi ada wo din kronkron ase, na yɛadi ahurusi akamfo wo.”
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.
Ayeyi nka Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, emfi mmeresanten nkosi nnasanten. Na nnipa no nyinaa gyee so se, “Amen!” Na wɔkamfoo Awurade.
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.
Dawid hyehyɛ maa Asaf ne ne mfɛfo Lewifo no sɛ wɔnsom daa wɔ Awurade Apam Adaka no anim, na wɔnyɛ nea ehia sɛ wɔyɛ no da biara.
38 And Abdedom and his brethren [were] sixty and eight; and Abdedom the son of Idithun, and Osa, [were] to be doorkeepers.
Saa kuw yi mu nnipa ne Obed-Edom (a ɔyɛ Yedutun babarima no), Hosa ne Lewifo aduosia awotwe a wɔyɛ apon ano hwɛfo.
39 And [they appointed] Sadoc the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place in Gabaon,
Dawid de ɔsɔfo Sadok ne ne mfɛfo asɔfo tenaa Awurade Ahyiae Ntamadan a ɛwɔ bepɔw Gibeon no, sɛ wɔnsom wɔ Awurade anim wɔ hɔ.
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.
Anɔpa ne anwummere biara, wɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ afɔremuka a wɔayi asi hɔ ama saa dwumadi no so. Na wodii biribiara a wɔakyerɛw sɛ Awurade mmara a ɔde ama Israel no so.
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.
Dawid san yii Heman, Yedutun ne afoforo bi a wɔbobɔɔ wɔn din, yiyii wɔn no sɛ wɔnna Awurade ase “Na nʼadɔe no tim hɔ daa.”
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.
Heman ne Yedutun bɔɔ wɔn ntorobɛnto, kyɛnkyɛn ne nnwontode ahorow de gyigyee ayeyi nnwom a wɔto maa Onyankopɔn no ho. Na woyii Yedutun mmabarima ma wɔyɛɛ apon ano hwɛfo.
43 And all the people went every one to his home: and David returned to bless his house.
Na nnipa no nyinaa san kɔɔ wɔn afi mu. Dawid nso san kɔɔ ne fi, kohyiraa ne fifo.
