1 Chronicles 16
1 And they brought [the] ark of God and they set it in [the] midst of the tent which he had pitched for it David and they brought near burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
Wakaleta Sanduku la Mungu na kuliweka ndani ya hema ambalo Daudi alikuwa amelisimamisha kwa ajili yake, na wakatoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani mbele za Mungu.
2 And he finished David from offering up the burnt offering and the peace offerings and he blessed the people in [the] name of Yahweh.
Baada ya Daudi kumaliza kutoa hizo sadaka za kuteketezwa na hizo sadaka za amani, akawabariki watu katika jina la Bwana.
3 And he distributed to every person of Israel from man and unto woman to everyone a round loaf of bread and a date-cake and a raisin-cake.
Kisha akamgawia kila Mwisraeli mwanaume na mwanamke mkate, andazi la tende na andazi la zabibu kavu.
4 And he appointed before [the] ark of Yahweh some of the Levites servants and to make remembrance and to give thanks and to praise Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
Akawaweka pia baadhi ya Walawi ili wahudumu mbele ya Sanduku la Bwana kufanya maombi, kumshukuru na kumsifu Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli:
5 Asaph [was] the chief and [was] second his Zechariah Jeiel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel and Mattithiah and Eliab and Benaiah and Obed-Edom and Jeiel with instruments of lyres and with harps and Asaph with cymbals [was] sounding aloud.
Asafu ndiye alikuwa mkuu wao, akisaidiwa na Zekaria, Yeieli, Shemiramothi, Yehieli, Matithia, Eliabu, Benaya, Obed-Edomu na Yeieli. Hawa ndio wangepiga zeze na vinubi, Asafu angepiga matoazi,
6 And Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before [the] ark of [the] covenant of God.
nao Benaya na Yahazieli makuhani, ndio wangepiga tarumbeta mara kwa mara mbele ya Sanduku la Agano la Mungu.
7 On the day that then he appointed David at the first to give thanks to Yahweh by [the] hand of Asaph and relatives his.
Siku ile, kitu cha kwanza Daudi alichofanya ni kumkabidhi Asafu na wenzake zaburi hii ya shukrani kwa Bwana:
8 Give thanks to Yahweh proclaim name his make known among the peoples deeds his.
Mshukuruni Bwana, liitieni jina lake; wajulisheni mataifa yale aliyoyatenda.
9 Sing to him sing praises to him tell in all wonders his.
Mwimbieni yeye, mwimbieni yeye sifa; waambieni matendo yake yote ya ajabu.
10 Boast in [the] name of holiness his let it rejoice [the] heart of [those who] seek Yahweh.
Lishangilieni jina lake takatifu; mioyo ya wale wamtafutao Bwana na ifurahi.
11 Seek Yahweh and strength his seek face his continually.
Mtafuteni Bwana na nguvu zake; utafuteni uso wake siku zote.
12 Remember wonders his which he has done wonders his and [the] judgments of mouth his.
Kumbuka matendo ya ajabu aliyoyafanya, miujiza yake na hukumu alizozitamka,
13 O offspring of Israel servant his O descendants of Jacob chosen ones his.
enyi wazao wa Israeli mtumishi wake, enyi wana wa Yakobo, wateule wake.
14 He [is] Yahweh God our [are] in all the earth judgments his.
Yeye ndiye Bwana Mungu wetu; hukumu zake zimo duniani pote.
15 Remember for ever covenant his [the] word [which] he commanded for a thousand generation[s].
Hulikumbuka agano lake milele, neno ambalo aliamuru, kwa vizazi elfu,
16 Which he made with Abraham and oath his to Isaac.
agano alilolifanya na Abrahamu, kiapo alichomwapia Isaki.
17 And he confirmed it to Jacob to a statute to Israel a covenant of perpetuity.
Alilithibitisha kwa Yakobo kuwa amri, kwa Israeli liwe agano la milele:
18 Saying to you I will give [the] land of Canaan [the] portion of inheritance your.
“Nitakupa wewe nchi ya Kanaani kuwa sehemu utakayoirithi.”
19 When were you men of number like a few and sojourners in it.
Walipokuwa wachache kwa idadi, wachache sana na wageni ndani yake,
20 And they went about from nation to nation and from a kingdom to a people another.
walitangatanga kutoka taifa moja hadi jingine, kutoka ufalme mmoja hadi mwingine.
21 Not he permitted anyone to oppress them and he rebuked on them kings.
Hakuruhusu mtu yeyote awaonee; kwa ajili yao aliwakemea wafalme, akisema:
22 May not you touch anointed [ones] my and to prophets my may not you do harm.
“Msiwaguse niliowatia mafuta; msiwadhuru manabii wangu.”
23 Sing to Yahweh O all the earth bear news from day to day salvation his.
Mwimbieni Bwana dunia yote; tangazeni wokovu wake siku baada ya siku.
24 Recount among the nations glory his among all the peoples wonders his.
Tangazeni utukufu wake katikati ya mataifa, matendo yake ya ajabu miongoni mwa mataifa yote.
25 For [is] great Yahweh and [is] to be praised exceedingly and [is] to be feared he above all gods.
Kwa kuwa Bwana ni mkuu, mwenye kustahili kusifiwa kuliko wote; yeye ni wa kuogopwa kuliko miungu yote.
26 For all [the] gods of the peoples [are] worthless idols and Yahweh [the] heavens he made.
Kwa maana miungu yote ya mataifa ni sanamu, lakini Bwana aliziumba mbingu.
27 Splendor and majesty [are] before him strength and joy [are] in place his.
Fahari na enzi viko mbele yake; nguvu na utukufu vimo patakatifu pake.
28 Ascribe to Yahweh O clans of peoples ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
Mpeni Bwana, enyi jamaa za mataifa, mpeni Bwana utukufu na nguvu,
29 Ascribe to Yahweh [the] glory of name his lift up an offering and come before him bow down to Yahweh in adornment of holiness.
mpeni Bwana utukufu unaostahili jina lake. Leteni sadaka na mje katika nyua zake; mwabuduni Bwana katika uzuri wa utakatifu wake.
30 Tremble from to before him O all the earth also it is established [the] world not it will be shaken.
Dunia yote na itetemeke mbele zake! Ulimwengu ameuweka imara; hauwezi kusogezwa.
31 Let them rejoice the heavens and let it be glad the earth and let people say among the nations Yahweh he reigns.
Mbingu na zishangilie, nchi na ifurahi; semeni katikati ya mataifa, “Bwana anatawala!”
32 Let it thunder the sea and what fills it let it exult the field and all that [is] in it.
Bahari na ivume, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake; mashamba na yashangilie, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake.
33 Then they will shout for joy [the] trees of the forest from to before Yahweh for [he is] coming to judge the earth.
Kisha miti ya msituni itaimba, itaimba kwa furaha mbele za Bwana, kwa maana anakuja kuihukumu dunia.
34 Give thanks to Yahweh for [he is] good for [is] for ever covenant loyalty his.
Mshukuruni Bwana kwa kuwa ni mwema; upendo wake wadumu milele.
35 And say save us O God of salvation our and gather us and deliver us from the nations to give thanks to [the] name of holiness your to boast in praise your.
Mlilieni, “Ee Mungu Mwokozi wetu, tuokoe. Tukusanye tena na utukomboe kutoka kwa mataifa, ili tuweze kulishukuru jina lako takatifu, na kushangilia katika sifa zako.”
36 [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of Israel from antiquity and until perpetuity and they said all the people amen and they praised Yahweh.
Atukuzwe Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, tangu milele na hata milele. Nao watu wote wakasema, “Amen,” na “Msifuni Bwana.”
37 And he left there before [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh Asaph and relatives his to serve before the ark continually to [the] matter of a day in day its.
Daudi akamwacha Asafu na wenzake mbele ya Sanduku la Agano la Bwana ili wahudumu humo mara kwa mara, kulingana na mahitaji ya kila siku.
38 And Obed-Edom and relatives their sixty and eight and Obed-Edom [the] son of Jedithun and Hosah to gatekeepers.
Pia akamwacha Obed-Edomu pamoja na wenzake sitini na wanane wahudumu pamoja nao. Obed-Edomu mwana wa Yeduthuni na pia Hosa walikuwa mabawabu wa lango.
39 And - Zadok the priest and relatives his the priests before [the] tabernacle of Yahweh at the high place which [was] in Gibeon.
Daudi akamwacha kuhani Sadoki pamoja na makuhani wenzake mbele ya hema ya ibada ya Bwana katika mahali pa juu pa kuabudia huko Gibeoni
40 To offer up burnt offerings to Yahweh on [the] altar of the burnt offering continually to the morning and to the evening and to every [thing] written in [the] law of Yahweh which he commanded to Israel.
ili kutoa sadaka za kuteketezwa kwa Bwana kwenye madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa mara kwa mara, asubuhi na jioni, sawasawa na kila kitu kilichoandikwa katika sheria ya Bwana ambayo alikuwa amempa Israeli.
41 And [were] with them Heman and Jeduthun and [the] rest of those [who] had been chosen who they had been designated by names to give thanks to Yahweh for [is] for ever covenant loyalty his.
Waliohudumu pamoja nao walikuwa Hemani, Yeduthuni na wale wote waliochaguliwa na kutajwa kwa jina kumpa Bwana shukrani, “Kwa maana fadhili zake zadumu milele.”
42 And [were] with them Heman and Jeduthun trumpets and cymbals for [those who] sound aloud and [the] instruments of song of God and [the] sons of Jeduthun [were] to the gate.
Hemani na Yeduthuni walikuwa na wajibu wa kupiga tarumbeta, matoazi na kutumia vyombo vingine kwa ajili ya nyimbo za sifa kwa Mungu. Wana wa Yeduthuni waliwekwa langoni.
43 And they went all the people everyone to house his and he turned David to bless house his.
Kisha watu wote wakaondoka, kila mmoja akarudi nyumbani kwake, naye Daudi akarudi nyumbani kuibariki jamaa yake.
