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].
Isaanis taabota Waaqaa fidanii dunkaana Daawit dhaabeef keessa ni kaaʼan; aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa nagaa fuula Waaqaa duratti ni dhiʼeessan.
2 When David had finished presenting all those offerings, he [asked Yahweh to] bless the people.
Daawitis erga aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa nagaa dhiʼeessee booddee maqaa Waaqayyootiin namoota ni eebbise.
3 He gave a loaf of bread, some dates, and some raisins to every Israeli man and woman [who was there].
Ergasiis inni tokkoo tokkoo nama Israaʼeliitiif, dhiiraa fi dubartiif buddeena tokko tokko, gumaa foonii tokko tokkoo fi bixxillee ija wayinii tokko tokko ni kenne.
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.
Innis akka isaan fuula taabota Waaqayyoo duratti tajaajilaniif, akka isaan Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel waammataniif, akka isa galateeffatanii fi akka isa jajataniif Lewwota tokko tokko ni muuddate;
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.
isaanis Asaaf hangafticha, Zakkaariyaas itti aanaa isaa, itti fufees Yeʼiiʼeel, Shemiiraamoot, Yehiiʼeel, Matiitiyaa, Eliiyaab, Benaayaa, Oobeed Edoomii fi Yeʼiiʼeel faʼi turan. Jarri kunneen kiraaraa fi baganaa taphatu ture; Asaaf immoo kilillee dhageessisa ture;
6 Benaiah and Jahaziel were priests who blew trumpets frequently in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the Sacred Chest.
Benaayaa fi Yahiziiʼeel luboonni yeroo hunda fuula taabota kakuu Waaqaa duratti malakata afuufu turan.
7 On that day, David gave to Asaph and his helpers this psalm to praise Yahweh:
Daawitis gaafa sana akka Asaafii fi michoota isaa faarfannaa galataa kana Waaqayyoof faarfataniif jalqabatti ajaja kenne:
8 Thank God, and pray to him [MTY]. Tell the people of all nations what he has done.
Waaqayyoof galata galchaa; maqaa isaas waammadhaa; waan inni hojjetes saboota gidduutti beeksisaa.
9 Sing to him; sing songs to praise him. Tell about all his miraculous deeds.
Isaaf faarfadhaa; faarfannaadhaan isa galateeffadhaa; waaʼee hojii isaa isa dinqisiisaa hundaas odeessaa.
10 Be glad that you belong to him [MTY]; those who want to know Yahweh better should rejoice.
Maqaa isaa qulqulluu sanaan boonaa; garaan warra Waaqayyoon barbaadanii haa gammadu.
11 Trust in Yahweh and in his power; continually seek to get help from him.
Waaqayyoo fi humna isaa barbaaddadhaa; yeroo hunda fuula isaa barbaadaa.
12 Do not forget the wonderful things that he has done, the miracles and the just laws that he has given to us.
Dinqii inni hojjete, hojii isaa dinqii sanaa fi murtii inni labse yaadadhaa;
13 We people are the descendants of his servant Jacob; we are the people of Israel whom he has chosen.
isin tajaajiltoonni isaa, warri sanyii Israaʼel taatan, isin filatamtoonni isaa, ilmaan Yaaqoobis kana yaadadhaa.
14 Yahweh is our God. His just/fair laws are known by people throughout the world.
Inni Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya; murtiin isaas lafa hunda irra jira.
15 He never forgets the agreement that he has made: he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations.
Inni kakuu isaa bara baraan, waadaa gale sanas dhaloota kumaaf ni yaadata;
16 That is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement to Isaac.
inni kakuu Abrahaam wajjin gale, kakuu Yisihaaqiif kakates ni yaadata.
17 It was an agreement for the Israeli people, and he wanted that agreement to endure forever.
Kanas Yaaqoobiif seera, Israaʼeliif immoo kakuu bara baraa godhee akkana jedhee mirkaneesseera; innis:
18 What he said was, “I will give the Canaan region to you, to belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
“Ani biyya Kanaʼaan qooda ati dhaaltu godhee, siif nan kenna” jedhe.
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);
Isaan yeroo lakkoobsaan xinnoo turanitti, dhugumaanuu xinnoo fi biyyattii keessattis keessummoota turanitti,
20 they continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
sabaa gara sabaatti, mootummaa tokkoo gara mootummaa biraatti jooran.
21 But he did not allow others to oppress them, and he warned kings by saying to them,
Inni akka namni tokko iyyuu isaan cunqursu hin eeyyamne; sababii isaaniitiifis akkana jedhee mootota ifate:
22 “Do not harm the people whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
“Dibamtoota koo hin tuqinaa; raajota koos hin miidhinaa.”
23 You people throughout the world, sing to Yahweh. Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved us.
Lafti hundinuu Waaqayyoon faarfadhaa; fayyisuu isaas guyyuma guyyaan labsaa.
24 Tell the people of the nations that he is great; tell all the people-groups the marvelous things [that he has done].
Ulfina isaa saboota gidduutti, hojii isaa dinqisiisaa sana immoo namoota hunda keessatti labsaa.
25 Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much. He should be revered more than all the gods,
Waaqayyo guddaadhaatii galanni baayʼeen isaaf ni mala; inni waaqota hundaa olittis sodaatamuu qaba.
26 because all the gods that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only idols, but Yahweh [is truly great; he] created the skies.
Waaqonni saboota ormaa hundinuu waaqota tolfamoodhaatii; Waaqayyo garuu samiiwwan uume.
27 He is glorious and majestic; his power and joy fill his Sacred Tent.
Miidhaginnii fi surraan fuula isaa dura jiru; jabinnii fi gammachuunis iddoo jireenya isaa jiru.
28 You people in nations all over the world, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
Yaa maatiiwwan sabootaa, Waaqayyoof kennaa; ulfinaa fi jabina Waaqayyoof kennaa.
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.
Ulfina maqaa isaatiif malu Waaqayyoof kennaa. Aarsaa fidaatii fuula isaa duratti dhiʼaadhaa. bareedina qulqullummaa isaatiin Waaqayyoon waaqeffadhaa.
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.
Isin lafti hundinuu fuula isaa duratti holladhaa! Addunyaan jabaattee dhaabatteerti; sochoofamuus hin dandeessu.
31 Everything in the sky and on the earth should be happy. People [everywhere] should say, “Yahweh is our king!”
Samiiwwan haa ililchan; laftis haa gammaddu; isaan saboota gidduutti, “Waaqayyo moʼeera!” haa jedhan.
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.
Galaannii fi wanni isa keessa jiru hundinuu haa huursu; dirreewwanii fi wanni isaan irra jiran hundinuu haa gammadani!
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.
Mukkeen bosonaa haa faarfatan; isaan gammachuudhaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti haa faarfatan; inni lafatti muruudhaaf ni dhufaatii.
34 Thank Yahweh, because [everything that he does is] good. He faithfully loves us forever.
Waaqayyoof galata galchaa; inni gaariidhaatii; jaalalli isaa bara baraan jiraata.
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.”
Akkana jedhaatii iyyaa; “Yaa Waaqayyo, Fayyisaa keenya, ati nu baasi; akka nu maqaa kee qulqulluu sana galateeffannuuf, akka galata keetiin of jajnuufis, walitti nu qabiitii saboota ormaa jalaa nu oolchi.”
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.
Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliitiif bara baraa hamma bara baraatti galanni haa gaʼu. Kana irratti namni hundinuu, “Ameen; Waaqayyo haa galatoomu” jedhe.
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.
Daawitis akka isaan fuula taabotaa dura yeroo hunda tajaajilaniif, Asaafii fi obboloota isaa achuma fuula taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo duratti isaan dhiise.
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].
Akkasumas Oobeed Edoomii fi warra isaan wajjin hojjetan jaatamii saddeettan akka isaan wajjin tajaajilaniif achitti dhiise. Oobeed Edoom ilmi Yeduutuuniitii fi Hoosaan eegdota balbalaa turan.
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].
Daawit Zaadoq lubichaa fi luboota isa wajjin hojjetan kaan dunkaana Waaqayyoo qulqulluu kan Gibeʼoon keessatti gaara sagadaa irratti argamu biratti dhiise;
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.
kunis isaan akkuma waan Seera Waaqayyoo kan inni Israaʼeliif kenne hunda keessatti barreeffame sanaatti yeroo hunda galgalaa fi ganama iddoo aarsaa gubamuu irratti aarsaa gubamu Waaqayyoof akka dhiʼeessaniif.
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.
Isaan wajjinis Heemaanii fi Yeduutuun akkasumas warra akka, “Jaalalli isaa bara baraan jiraata” jedhanii Waaqayyoof galata galchaniif filatamanii maqaan isaanii beekame biraatu ture.
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].
Heemaanii fi Yeduutuun sagalee malakataatiif kilillee dhageessisuu fi akkasumas meeshaa muuziiqaa kan Waaqaa irratti itti gaafatamtoota turan. Ilmaan Yeduutuun immoo karra eegan.
43 Then all the people left. They returned to their homes, and David returned home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family.
Ergasii namoonni hundinuu achii kaʼanii tokkoon tokkoon isaanii gara mana ofii isaatti galan; Daawit immoo maatii ofii eebbisuuf gara manaatti ni deebiʼe.
