1 Chronicles 16
1 They brought the Sacred Chest [to Gibeon] and put it inside the Sacred Tent that David had [told his workers to] set up. Then they brought offerings to be completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to enable them to maintain fellowship [with God].
PELA lakou i lawe mai ai i ka pahu o ke Akua, a hookau iho la ia ia iwaena konu o ka halelewa a Davida i kukulu ai nona: a mohai aku la lakou i na mohaikuni a me na mohai hoomalu imua o ke Akua.
2 When David had finished presenting all those offerings, he [asked Yahweh to] bless the people.
I ka wa i hoopau ai o Davida i ka mohai aku i na mohaikuni a me na mohaihoomalu, hoomaikai mai la ia i na kanaka ma ka inoa o Iehova.
3 He gave a loaf of bread, some dates, and some raisins to every Israeli man and woman [who was there].
A haawi pakahi mai la ia i ka Iseraela a pau, i na kane a me na wahine, i kela mea i keia mea, i ka popoberena a me kauwahi ia, a me kekahi pai huawaina.
4 Then David appointed some of the descendants of Levi to stand in front of [the Sacred Tent in which] the Sacred Chest [had been placed], to lead the people who worshiped and thanked and praised Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people.
A hoonoho iho la ia i kekahi poe o na Levi e lawelawe imua o ka pahu o Iehova e hoohiki, e hoomaikai, a e hoolea aku ia Iehova i ke Akua no ka Iseraela.
5 Asaph, who played the cymbals, was their leader. Zechariah was his assistant. The other descendants of Levi [who helped Asaph] were Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel. They played lyres and harps.
O Asapa ka luna, a malalo iho o Zekaria, o Ieiela, o Semiramota, o Iehiela, o Matitia, o Eliaba, o Benaia a o Obededoma: a o Ieiela me na pesaleteria a me na lira: aka, hookani ae la o Asapa me na kimebala:
6 Benaiah and Jahaziel were priests who blew trumpets frequently in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the Sacred Chest.
O Benaia hoi a o Iehaziela na kahuna, me na pu e mau ana imua o ka pahuberita o ke Akua.
7 On that day, David gave to Asaph and his helpers this psalm to praise Yahweh:
Ia la iho no, haawi mua mai la o Davida i ka mililani ia Iehova, maloko o ka lima o Asapa a o kona poe hoahanau.
8 Thank God, and pray to him [MTY]. Tell the people of all nations what he has done.
E mililani aku ia Iehova, e kahea aku i kona inoa. E hoike aku i kana mau hana iwaena o kanaka.
9 Sing to him; sing songs to praise him. Tell about all his miraculous deeds.
E mele aku ia ia, e mele halelu aku ia ia, E kamailio oukou i na hana kupanaha ana a pau.
10 Be glad that you belong to him [MTY]; those who want to know Yahweh better should rejoice.
E kaena oukou no kona inoa hoano: E olioli ka naau o ka poe imi aku ia Iehova.
11 Trust in Yahweh and in his power; continually seek to get help from him.
E imi aku oukou ia Iehova a me kona ikaika, E imi mau aku i kona maka.
12 Do not forget the wonderful things that he has done, the miracles and the just laws that he has given to us.
E hoomanao i na hana mana ana i hana'i, I na mea kupanaha ana, a me na olelo hoopono a kona waha;
13 We people are the descendants of his servant Jacob; we are the people of Israel whom he has chosen.
E na hua a Iseraela a kana kauwa, Na mamo hoi a Iakoba, o kona poe i waeia.
14 Yahweh is our God. His just/fair laws are known by people throughout the world.
Oia o Iehova ko kakou Akua; Aia ma ka honua a pau kana mau olelo hoopono.
15 He never forgets the agreement that he has made: he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations.
E malama mau oukou i kana berita, I ka olelo ana i kauoha mai ai i na hanauna he tausani;
16 That is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement to Isaac.
Ana i hana'i me Aberahama, A me kana hoohiki ana ia Isaaka:
17 It was an agreement for the Israeli people, and he wanted that agreement to endure forever.
Ua hookupaa oia ia mea hookahi i kanawai ia Iakoba, A i berita mau loa ia Iseraela,
18 What he said was, “I will give the Canaan region to you, to belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
E i mai ana, No oukou e haawi aku ai au i ka aina o Kanaana, I kuleana no ko oukou noho hooilina ana;
19 [He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land (like strangers/that belonged to other people);
I ko oukou manawa i uuku ai, He uuku nae, a he poe malihini ilaila.
20 they continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
I ka manawa i hele ai lakou mai kekahi lahuikanaka a kekahi lahuikanaka, A mai kahi aupuni a hiki i kela aupuni;
21 But he did not allow others to oppress them, and he warned kings by saying to them,
Aole ia i ae mai i kekahi kanaka e hana ino mai ia lakou, Oiaio no, ao mai la oia i na'lii no lakou,
22 “Do not harm the people whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
Mai hoopa aku i kuu poe i poniia, Mai hoino hoi i kuu mau kaula.
23 You people throughout the world, sing to Yahweh. Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved us.
E mele aku ia Iehova, e ko ka honua a pau; E hoike aku i kona ola, ia la aku ia la aku.
24 Tell the people of the nations that he is great; tell all the people-groups the marvelous things [that he has done].
E hai aku i kona nani i na lahuikanaka, I kana mau hana kupanaha i ko na aina a pau.
25 Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much. He should be revered more than all the gods,
No ka mea, he nui no o Iehova, a e hoomaikai nui ia: E weliweliia hoi oia maluna o na akua a pau.
26 because all the gods that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only idols, but Yahweh [is truly great; he] created the skies.
No ka mea, o na akua a pau o na kanaka, he poe kii lakou: Aka, na Iehova i hana na lani.
27 He is glorious and majestic; his power and joy fill his Sacred Tent.
Ma kona alo ka nani a me ka mahalo; Ma kona wahi hoi ka ikaika a me ka olioli.
28 You people in nations all over the world, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
E haawi aku no Iehova, e na hanauna kanaka, E haawi aku no Iehova i ka nani a me ka mana.
29 Praise Yahweh like he [MTY] deserves to be praised. Bring an offering and come to his Sacred Tent. Worship Yahweh because he is holy.
E haawi aku ia Iehova i ka nani no kona inoa: E ho mai i ka mohai, a e hele mai imua ona: E hoomana ia Iehova ma ka nani o ka hemolele.
30 Everyone on the earth should tremble in front of Yahweh. He put the earth firmly [in its place]; and nothing ever will be able to move/shake it.
E weliweli imua ona, e ko ka honua a pau: E ku paa auanei hoi ke ao nei, i hoouaue ole ia'i.
31 Everything in the sky and on the earth should be happy. People [everywhere] should say, “Yahweh is our king!”
E hauoli ko na lani, e olioli ko ka honua: E oleloia hoi iwaena o na lahuikanaka, O Iehova e alii ana.
32 The oceans and all the creatures that are in the oceans should shout to praise him; the fields and everything that is in them should rejoice.
E halulu mai ke kai, a me na mea i piha ai: E olioli na mahinaai me na mea a pau oloko.
33 When they do that, [it will be as though] the trees in the forest will sing joyfully in front of Yahweh. That will happen when he comes to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth.
Alaila e kani aku ai na laau o ka nahele, I ka hiki ana mai o Iehova; No ka mea, ke hele mai la ia e hooponopono i ko ka honua.
34 Thank Yahweh, because [everything that he does is] good. He faithfully loves us forever.
E mililani aku ia Iehova, no ka mea, he maikai kona; A he mau loa kona aloha.
35 Say to him, “God, you are the one who rescues us, so gather us together and save us from [the armies of] other nations. When you do that, we will thank you [MTY], and we will be happy to praise you.”
E i aku hoi oukou, E hoola mai ia makou, E ke Akua nona ko kakou ola, E houluulu ia makou, a e hoopakele ia makou i ko na aina e, I aloha aku ai makou i kou inoa hoano, A e kaena aku ai i kou maikai.
36 Praise Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people, He has always existed, and he will exist forever. After the people [finished singing that song], they all said, “(Amen/May it be so)!”, and they praised Yahweh.
E hoomaikaiia ke Akua o ka Iseraela, a mau loa a mau loa aku. Olelo aku la na kanaka a pan, Amene, a hoomaikai aku la lakou ia Iehova.
37 Then David left Asaph and the other members of his clan there in front of [the tent in which] Yahweh’s Sacred Chest [had been placed]. He told them that they must do their work there every day.
A hoonoho aku la oia imua o ka pahuberita o Iehova ia Asapa a me kona poe hoahanau, e lawelawe mau imua o ka pahu, e like me ka mea pono e hanaia'i i kela la i keia la:
38 David also left Obed-Edom and 68 other descendants of Levi to work with them. Hosah and Obed-Edom guarded [the entrances of the Sacred Tent].
A me Obededoma, me ko lakou poe hoahanau, he kanaonokumamawalu; o Obededoma hoi he keiki a Iedutuna a o Hosa na kiaipuka:
39 David also told Zadok the [Supreme] Priest and the other priests who worked with him to remain in front of Yahweh’s Sacred Tent, which was still at the place where the Israeli people worshiped [God there] in Gibeon [city].
A o Zadoka ke kahuna, a me kona poe hoahanau na kahuna, imua o ka halelewa o Iehova, ma ka wahi kiekie, aia ma Gibeona,
40 Every morning and every evening they burned offerings on the altar, obeying the rules/laws that had been written [by Moses], rules/laws which Yahweh had given to the Israeli people.
E mohai mau aku ai i na mohaikuni ia Iehova maluna o ke kuahu, i kakahiaka, a i ke ahiahi, e like me ka mea a pau i kakauia ma ke kanawai o Iehova, ana i kauoha mai ai i ka Iseraela:
41 With them were Heman and Jeduthun and other descendants of Levi. They [MTY] were chosen to sing songs to praise Yahweh because he faithfully loves his people forever.
Me lakou pu o Hemana, o Iedutuna, a o na mea i waeia e koe, o ka poe i kaheaia ma ka inoa, no ka mililani aku ia Iehova, no ka mea, he mau loa kona aloha:
42 Heman and Jeduthun were appointed to play the trumpets and cymbals when [the other descendants of Levi sang sacred songs]. The sons of Jeduthun were appointed to guard the gates [of the Sacred Tent].
A me lakou pu o Hemana a o Iedutuna, me na pu kani a me na kimebala, no ka poe e pono ke hookani, me na mea kani a ke Akua A o na keikikane a Iedutuna na kiaipuka.
43 Then all the people left. They returned to their homes, and David returned home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family.
A hele aku la na kanaka a pau o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona hale iho: a hoi hou aku la o Davida e hoomaikai i ko ka hale ona.
