1 Chronicles 16
1 So they brought in the ark of God, and placed it in the midst of the tent, which David had pitched for it, —and they brought near ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings, before God.
Awo ne baleeta essanduuko ya Mukama, ne bagiyingiza mu weema Dawudi gye yali agisimbidde, ne bawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe eri Katonda.
2 And, when David had made an end of offering the ascending-sacrifices, and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people, in the name of Yahweh.
Awo Dawudi bwe yamala okuwaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, n’asabira abantu omukisa mu linnya lya Mukama,
3 And he apportioned, to every one of Israel, both man and woman, —to every one, a loaf of bread, and a sweet drink, and a raisin cake.
era n’agabira buli Muyisirayiri omusajja n’omukazi, omugaati n’ekitole eky’ezabbibu enkalu, n’ekiyungula ky’ennyama.
4 And he placed before the ark of Yahweh certain of the Levites, as attendants, —and to celebrate, and to give thanks and render praise, unto Yahweh, God of Israel;
Yalonda abamu ku Baleevi okuweerezanga mu maaso g’essanduuko ya Mukama, okukoowoola nga basaba, nga beebaza, era nga batendereza Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri.
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 instruments of harps, and with lyres, and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud:
Asafu ye yali omukulu waabwe, Zekkaliya n’amuddirira, Yeyeeri n’addako, n’oluvannyuma Semiramosi, ne Yekyeri, ne Mattisiya, ne Eriyaabu, ne Benaya, ne Obededomu, ne Yeyeri, abookukuba entongooli n’ennanga, Asafu ye ng’akuba ebitaasa.
6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel, the priests, —with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
Benaya ne Yakaziyeeri bakabona be baafuuwanga amakondeere bulijjo mu maaso g’essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Katonda.
7 On that day, then, David gave [these songs] in chief, to give thanks unto Yahweh, —through Asaph, and his brethren: —
Awo ku lunaku olwo, Dawudi n’alagira Asafu n’abantu be yakolanga nabo, basooke okwebaza Mukama nga bagamba nti:
8 Give ye thanks to Yahweh, Call upon his name, Make known among the peoples, his doings;
Mwebaze Mukama, mukoowoole erinnya lye, mumanyise ebikolwa bye mu mawanga.
9 Sing ye to him, Make music unto him, Speak ye of all his wonders.
Mumuyimbire, muyimbe okumutendereza mwogere ku byamagero bye byonna.
10 Boast yourselves in his holy name, Joyful be the heart of them who are seeking Yahweh.
Erinnya lye ligulumizibwe, n’emitima gy’abo abanoonya Mukama gisanyuke.
11 Search out Yahweh, and his power, Seek diligently his face, at all times.
Mutunuulire Mukama n’amaanyi ge; munoonye amaaso ge ennaku zonna.
12 Remember his wonders which he hath done, His splendid deeds, and the just decisions of his mouth.
Mujjukire ebyewuunyo by’akoze, n’ebyamagero bye, n’ensala ye ey’emisango gy’alangirira,
13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, sons of Jacob his chosen ones:
mmwe abazzukulu ba Isirayiri, abaweereza be, mmwe abaana ba Yakobo, abalonde be.
14 Yahweh himself, is our God, through all the land, are his just decisions.
Ye Mukama Katonda waffe; okusalawo kwe okw’emisango kubuna ensi yonna.
15 Remember yea to times age-abiding, his covenant, the word he hath commanded, to a thousand generations;
Ajjukira endagaano ye emirembe gyonna, n’ekigambo kye yalagira, okutuusa ku mirembe olukumi,
16 Which he solemnised with Abraham, and his oath, to Isaac;
gye yakola ne Ibulayimu, era n’agirayiza Isaaka.
17 And confirmed it, unto Jacob, for a statute, unto Israel, as a covenant age-abiding:
N’aginyweza ng’etteeka eri Yakobo, n’eri Isirayiri ng’endagaano ey’olubeerera,
18 Saying, To thee, will I give the land of Canaan, as your inherited portion:
ng’agamba nti, “Ndikuwa ensi ya Kanani, ng’omugabo, ogw’obusika bwo.”
19 While, as yet, ye were men who could be counted, a very few, and sojourners therein:
Omuwendo gwabwe bwe gwali omutono, era omutono ddala, nga batambuze mu yo,
20 And they wandered from nation to nation, and from one kingdom, to another people:
baatambulatambulanga okuva mu nsi emu okudda mu ndala, n’okuva mu bwakabaka obumu okudda mu bantu abalala.
21 He suffered no man to oppress them, And reproved—for their sakes—kings!
Teyaganya muntu n’omu kubanyigiriza; weewaawo, yanenya bakabaka ku lwabwe:
22 Ye may not touch mine Anointed ones, And, to my Prophets, may ye do no wrong.
ng’agamba nti, “Temukwatanga ku abo be nnafukako amafuta, so bannabbi bange temubakolanga akabi.”
23 Sing to Yahweh, all the earth, Tell the tidings, from day to day, of his salvation:
Muyimbire Mukama, mmwe ensi zonna; mulangirire obulokozi bwe buli lunaku.
24 Recount, among the nations, his glory, among all the peoples, his wonders.
Mubuulire ekitiibwa kye mu mawanga, n’ebikolwa bye ebyamagero mu bantu bonna.
25 For great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, and to be revered is he above all gods;
Mukama mukulu era asaanira okutenderezebwa; era atiibwenga okusinga bakatonda abalala bonna.
26 For, all the gods of the peoples, are things of nought, but, Yahweh, made, the heavens.
Bakatonda bonna abamawanga bifaananyi, naye Mukama ye yakola eggulu.
27 Praise and majesty, are before him, Strength and joy, are in his dwelling-place.
Ekitiibwa n’obukulu biri mu maaso ge, amaanyi n’essanyu biri wamu naye.
28 Give to Yahweh, ye families of the peoples, Give to Yahweh, glory and strength:
Mugulumize Mukama, mmwe ebika eby’amawanga byonna, mutende ekitiibwa kya Mukama awamu n’amaanyi ge.
29 Give to Yahweh, the glory of his name, —Bring ye a present, and enter before him, Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness:
Muyimusize Mukama ekitiibwa ekigwanira erinnya lye; muleete ekiweebwayo, mujje mu maaso ge; musinze Mukama mu kitiibwa ky’obutukuvu bwe.
30 Tremble at his presence, all the earth, But the world, shall be established, it shall not be shaken.
Mukankane mu maaso ge ensi yonna, weewaawo ensi nywevu, teyinza kusesetulwa.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult, Let them say among the nations, Yahweh, hath become king!
Eggulu lisanyuke, n’ensi ejaguze; boogere mu mawanga nti, “Mukama afuga!”
32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof, Let the field leap for joy, and all that is therein:
Ennyanja ewuume, n’ebigirimu byonna, n’ennimiro zijaguze, n’okujjula kwazo!
33 Then, shall shout in triumph, the trees of the forest, before Yahweh, for he is coming, to judge the earth.
Awo emiti egy’omu kibira ginaayimba, ginaayimbira Mukama n’essanyu, kubanga akomawo okusalira ensi omusango.
34 Give ye thanks unto Yahweh, For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
Weebaze Mukama kubanga mulungi; era okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.
35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us and deliver us, from among the nations, —that we may give thanks unto thy holy name, that we may triumph aloud in thy praise.
Mwogerere waggulu nti, “Tulokole, Ayi Katonda ow’obulokozi bwaffe; tukuŋŋaanye, otulokole eri amawanga, twebaze erinnya lyo ettukuvu, era tujagulize mu ttendo lyo.”
36 Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, from one age even to another age. Then said all the people, Amen, And gave praise to Yahweh.
Mukama yeebazibwe, Katonda wa Isirayiri ow’emirembe n’emirembe. Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina, Mukama yeebazibwe.”
37 So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, Asaph and his brethren, —to be in attendance before the ark continually, for the duty of a day on its day;
Awo Dawudi n’aleka Asafu n’ababeezi be, okuweereza Mukama mu maaso g’essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama, nga bwe kyagwaniranga buli lunaku.
38 and Obed-edom with his brethren, sixty-eight, —and Obed-edom son of Jedithun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
Obededomu n’ababeezi be enkaaga mu omunaana nabo yabaleka baweereze eyo. Obededomu mutabani wa Yedusuni, era ne Kosa be baali abaggazi.
39 and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the habitation of Yahweh, —in the high place that was in Gibeon:
Dawudi yaleka Zadooki, kabona ne bakabona banne mu maaso g’eweema ya Mukama mu kifo ekigulumivu e Gibyoni
40 to offer ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, upon the altar of ascending-sacrifice, —continually, morning and evening, —even according to all that is written in the law of Yahweh, which he commanded concerning Israel;
okuwangayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama ku kyoto eky’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, buli nkya na buli kawungeezi, nga byonna bwe byawandiikibwa mu mateeka ga Mukama, ge yawa Isirayiri.
41 and, with them, Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest of the chosen ones, who were distinguished by name, —to give thanks unto Yahweh, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness!
Kemani ne Yedusuni n’abalala abaalondebwa ne bayitibwa amannya gaabwe okwebaza Mukama, “kubanga okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna,” baali wamu nabo.
42 And, with them, Heman and Jeduthun, [with] the trumpets, and the cymbals, for sounding aloud, and the instruments for the songs of God, —and the sons of Jeduthun, for the gate.
Era Kemani ne Yedusuni baavunaanyizibwanga okufuuwa amakondeere, n’okukuba ebitaasa, n’okukubira ebivuga ebirala ku luyimba lwa Katonda. Batabani ba Yedusuni baabeeranga ku wankaaki.
43 And all the people departed, every man to his house, —and David went round, to bless his own household.
Awo abantu bonna ne baddayo ewaabwe, ne Dawudi n’addayo okusabira ennyumba ye omukisa.
