1 Chronicles 16
1 And they bring in the Ark of God, and set it up in the midst of the tent that David has stretched out for it, and they bring burnt-offerings and peace-offerings near 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 ceases from offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, and blesses the people in the Name of YHWH,
Daudi alipo maliza kutoa dhabiu ya kuteketeza na sadaka za ushirika, aliwabariki watu kwa jina la Yahweh.
3 and gives a portion to every man of Israel, both man and woman: to each a cake of bread, and a measure of wine, and a grape-cake.
Alisambaza kwa kila Misraeli, mwanaume na mwanamke, kipande cha mkate, na kipande cha nyama, na keki ya mzabibu.
4 And he puts before the Ark of YHWH, those ministering from the Levites, even to make mention of, and to thank, and to give praise to YHWH, 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 the head, and his second Zechariah; Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with instruments of psalteries, and with harps; and Asaph is sounding 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 Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests [are] continually [sounding] with trumpets before the Ark of the Covenant of God.
Benaia na Yahazieli walikuwa wakupiga tarumbeta kila mara, mbele sanduku la agano la Mungu.
7 On that day, at that time, David has given at the beginning to give thanks to YHWH by the hand of Asaph and his brothers:
Kisha katika hiyo siku Daudi akawachagua Asafu na kaka zake kuimba hii nyimbo ya shukurani kwa Yahweh.
8 “Give thanks to YHWH, call on His Name, Make His doings known among the peoples.
Mpeni shukurani Yahweh, liitieni jina lake; fahamisheni mataifa matendo yake.
9 Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him, Meditate on all His wonders.
Mwiimbieni, imbeni sifa kwake; semeni matendo yake ya ajabu.
10 Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking YHWH rejoices.
Jisifuni katika jina lake takatifu; mioyo ya wanao mtafuta Yahweh ishangilie.
11 Seek YHWH and His strength, Seek His face continually.
Mtafute Yahweh na nguvu zake; tafuteni uwepo wake siku zote.
12 Remember His wonders that He did, His signs, and the judgments of His mouth,
Kumbukeni matendo aliyo ya fanya kwenu, miujiza yake na amri za kinywa chake,
13 O seed of Israel, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
enyi uzao wa Israeli mtumishi wake, enyi watu wa Yakobo, wateule wake.
14 He [is] our God YHWH, His judgments [are] in all the earth.
Yeye ni Yahweh, Mungu wetu. Amri zake zipo duniani kote.
15 Remember His covenant for all time, The word He commanded—To one thousand generations,
Tunzeni agano lake akilini mwenu milele, neno alilo liamuru kwa vizazi elfu moja.
16 Which He has made with Abraham, And His oath—to Isaac,
Anakumbuka agano alilo lifanya na Ibrahimu, na nadhiri yake kwake Isaka.
17 And He establishes it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel [for] a perpetual covenant,
Hili ndilo alilo lithibitisha kwa Yakobo kama amri maalumu, na kwa Israeli kama agano la milele.
18 Saying, To you I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,
Alisema, “Nitakupa nchi ya Kanani kama sehemu ya urithi wako.”
19 When you were few in number, As a little thing, and sojourners in it.
Nilisema hili mlipo kuwa wachache kwa idadi, wachache sana, mlipo kuwa wageni katika nchi.
20 And they go up and down, From nation to nation, And from a kingdom to another people.
Walienda taifa hadi taifa, kutoka ufalme mmoja hadi mwingine.
21 He has not permitted any to oppress them, And reproves kings on their account:
Hakuwaruhusu yeyote awatese; aliwahadhibu wafalme kwa ajili yao.
22 Do not come against My anointed ones, And do no evil against My prophets.
Alisema, “Msiwaguse wapakwa mafuta wangu, na msiwadhuru manabii wangu.”
23 Sing to YHWH, all the earth, Proclaim His salvation from day to day.
Imbeni kwa Yahweh, dunia yote; tangazeni wokovu wake siku hadi siku.
24 Recount His glory among nations, His wonders among all the peoples.
Kirini utukufu wake kwa mataifa, matendo yake makuu kwa mataifa yote.
25 For great [is] YHWH, and greatly praised, And He [is] fearful above all gods.
Kwa kuwa Yahweh ni mkuu na ni wakusifiwa sana, na ni wakuogopewa kuliko miungu yote.
26 For all gods of the peoples [are] nothing, And YHWH has made the heavens.
Kwa kuwa miungu ya mataifa ni sanamu, lakini ni Yahweh aliye umba mbingu.
27 Splendor and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and joy [are] in His place.
Uzuri wa ajabu na utukufu upo uweponi mwake. Uwezo na furaha upo kwake.
28 Ascribe to YHWH, you families of peoples, Ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.
Mpeni sifa Yahweh, enyi koo za watu, mpeni sifa Yahweh utukufu na uwezo;
29 Ascribe to YHWH the glory of His Name, Lift up a present, and come before Him. Bow yourselves to YHWH, In the beauty of holiness.
Mpeni Yahweh utukufu upasao jina lake. Leta sadaka na mje kwake. Muinamieni Yahweh katika utakatifu wa uzuri wake.
30 Be pained before Him, all the earth; Also, the world is established, It is not moved!
Mtetemeke mbele zake, dunia yote. Dunia imeimarishwa; haiwezi kutikisika.
31 The heavens rejoice, and the earth is glad, And they say among nations, YHWH has reigned!
Mbingu nazo ziwe nafuraha, na dunia ifurahi; na wasema kwa mataifa yote, “Yahweh anatawala.”
32 The sea roars, and its fullness, The field exults, and all that [is] in it,
Bahari na ingurume, na inayo ijaza ipige kelele kwa furaha. Mashamba yawe na furaha tele, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake.
33 Then trees of the forest sing, From the presence of YHWH, For He has come to judge the earth!
Na miti iliyopo misituni ipige kelele kwa Yahweh, kwa kuwa anakuja kuhukumu dunia.
34 Give thanks to YHWH, for [He is] good, For His kindness [is] for all time,
Toeni shukurani kwa Yahweh, kwa kuwa ni mwema, uaminifu wa agano lake la dumu ata milele.
35 And say, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us, and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks to Your Holy Name, To triumph in Your praise.
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 [is] YHWH, God of Israel, From age to age”; And all the people say, “Amen,” and have given praise to YHWH.
Na Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli, asifiwe kutoka milele na milele. Watu wote wakasema, “Amina” na wakamsifu Yahweh.
37 And he leaves there [those] of Asaph and of his brothers, before the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, to minister before the Ark continually, according to the matter of a day in its 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 both Obed-Edom and their sixty-eight brothers, and Obed-Edom son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, for gatekeepers;
Obedi Edomu mwana wa Yeduthuni, pamoja na Hosa, walikuwa wawe walinzi wa lango.
39 and Zadok the priest, and his brothers the priests, before the Dwelling Place of YHWH, in a high place that [is] in Gibeon,
Zadoki kuhani na makuhani wenzake walikuwa watumike mbele ya hema la Yahweh katika mahali pa juu huko Gibeoni.
40 to cause burnt-offerings to ascend continually to YHWH on the altar of burnt-offering, morning and evening, and for all that is written in the Law of YHWH that He charged on Israel.
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 them [are] Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen, who were defined by name, to give thanks to YHWH, for His kindness [is] for all time;
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—Heman and Jeduthun—[are] trumpets and cymbals for those sounding, and instruments of the song of God, and the sons of Jeduthun [are] 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 go, each to his house, and David turns around to bless his house.
Kisha watu wote walirudi nyumbani, na Daudi akarudi kubariki nyumba yake.
