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].
Vakauya neareka yaMwari vakaiisa mukati metende rayakanga yagadzirirwa naDhavhidhi, vakapa zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuwadzana pamberi paMwari.
2 When David had finished presenting all those offerings, he [asked Yahweh to] bless the people.
Dhavhidhi akati apedza kubayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa, akaropafadza vanhu muzita raJehovha.
3 He gave a loaf of bread, some dates, and some raisins to every Israeli man and woman [who was there].
Ipapo akapa mumwe nomumwe womudzimai nomurume wechiIsraeri rofu rechingwa, keke romuchero womuchindwe nekeke ramazambiringa akaoma.
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.
Akagadza vamwe vavaRevhi kuti vashumire pamberi peareka yaJehovha, vakumbirire, vavonge uye kuti varumbidze Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri:
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.
Asafi ndiye aiva mukuru wavo, Zekaria wechipiri, kuchitevera Jeyeri Shemiramoti, Jehieri, Matitia, Eriabhi, Bhenaya, Obhedhi-Edhomu naJeyeri. Vaizoridza mitengeranwa nembira; Asafi aizoridza makandira
6 Benaiah and Jahaziel were priests who blew trumpets frequently in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the Sacred Chest.
uye Bhenaya naJahazieri vaprista vaizoridza hwamanda nguva dzose pamberi peareka yesungano yaMwari.
7 On that day, David gave to Asaph and his helpers this psalm to praise Yahweh:
Zuva iroro Dhavhidhi akapa kwokutanga Asafi navamwe vake pisarema iri rokuvonga Jehovha:
8 Thank God, and pray to him [MTY]. Tell the people of all nations what he has done.
Vongai Jehovha, danai kuzita rake; zivisai pakati pendudzi dzose zvaakaita.
9 Sing to him; sing songs to praise him. Tell about all his miraculous deeds.
Muimbirei, muimbirei nziyo dzokurumbidza; taurai zvose zvamabasa ake anoshamisa.
10 Be glad that you belong to him [MTY]; those who want to know Yahweh better should rejoice.
Zvirumbidzei muzita rake dzvene; mwoyo yaavo vanotsvaka Jehovha ngaifare.
11 Trust in Yahweh and in his power; continually seek to get help from him.
Tarisai kuna Jehovha nokusimba rake; tsvakai chiso chake nguva dzose.
12 Do not forget the wonderful things that he has done, the miracles and the just laws that he has given to us.
Rangarirai zvishamiso zvaakaita, zviratidzo zvake uye nemitongo yaakareva.
13 We people are the descendants of his servant Jacob; we are the people of Israel whom he has chosen.
Haiwa, imi zvizvarwa zvaIsraeri muranda wake, haiwa imi vanakomana vaJakobho vasanangurwa vake.
14 Yahweh is our God. His just/fair laws are known by people throughout the world.
Ndiye Jehovha Mwari wedu; mitongo yake iri munyika yose.
15 He never forgets the agreement that he has made: he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations.
Anorangarira sungano yake nokusingaperi, shoko raakarayira, kwechiuru chezvizvarwa.
16 That is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement to Isaac.
Sungano yaakaita naAbhurahama, mhiko yaakapika kuna Isaka.
17 It was an agreement for the Israeli people, and he wanted that agreement to endure forever.
Akasimbisa kuna Jakobho somutemo, kuna Israeri sesungano isingaperi, achiti:
18 What he said was, “I will give the Canaan region to you, to belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
“Kwauri ndichapa nyika yeKenani, sechikamu chenhaka yako.”
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);
Pavakanga vari vashoma, vari vashoma kwazvo, vari vatorwa mairi,
20 they continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
vakadzungaira kubva kuno rumwe rudzi kusvika kuno rumwe, kubva kuno humwe umambo kusvika kuno humwe.
21 But he did not allow others to oppress them, and he warned kings by saying to them,
Haana kutendera munhu kuti avadzvinyirire; nokuda kwavo akatuka madzimambo.
22 “Do not harm the people whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
“Musabata vazodziwa vangu; musaitira vaprofita vangu zvakaipa.”
23 You people throughout the world, sing to Yahweh. Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved us.
Imbirai Jehovha, pasi pose; paridzai ruponeso rwake zuva nezuva.
24 Tell the people of the nations that he is great; tell all the people-groups the marvelous things [that he has done].
Zivisai kubwinya kwake pakati pendudzi, mabasa ake anoshamisa pakati pavanhu vose.
25 Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much. He should be revered more than all the gods,
Nokuti Jehovha mukuru uye anofanira kwazvo kurumbidzwa; anofanira kutyiwa pamusoro pavamwari vose.
26 because all the gods that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only idols, but Yahweh [is truly great; he] created the skies.
Nokuti vamwari vose vendudzi zvifananidzo, asi Jehovha akasika matenga.
27 He is glorious and majestic; his power and joy fill his Sacred Tent.
Kubwinya nokukudzwa zviri pamberi pake; simba nomufaro zviri munzvimbo yougaro hwake.
28 You people in nations all over the world, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
Ipai kuna Jehovha, imi mhuri dzendudzi, ipai Jehovha kukudzwa nesimba,
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.
ipai Jehovha kukudzwa kunofanira zita rake. Uyai nezvipiriso uye muuye pamberi pake; namatai Jehovha mukubwinya kwoutsvene hwake.
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.
Dederai pamberi pake, imi nyika yose! Nyika yakasimbiswa kwazvo; haingazungunuswi.
31 Everything in the sky and on the earth should be happy. People [everywhere] should say, “Yahweh is our king!”
Matenga ngaafare, nyika ngaifare; ngavati pakati pendudzi, “Jehovha anotonga!”
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.
Gungwa ngaritinhire nezvose zviri mariri; minda ngaifarisise nezvose zviri mairi.
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.
Ipapo miti yesango ichaimba, ichaimba nomufaro pamberi paJehovha, nokuti anouya kuzotonga nyika.
34 Thank Yahweh, because [everything that he does is] good. He faithfully loves us forever.
Vongai Jehovha nokuti akanaka; rudo rwake runogara nokusingaperi.
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.”
Danidzirai muchiti, “Tiponesei, imi Mwari Muponesi wedu; tiunganidzei uye mutirwire pandudzi, kuti tigovonga zita renyu dzvene kuti tifarisise mukukurumbidzai.”
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.
Rumbidzai Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira pakusingaperi. Ipapo vanhu vose vakati, “Ameni” uye vakarumbidza Jehovha.
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.
Dhavhidhi akasiya Asafi navamwe vake pamberi peareka yesungano yaJehovha kuti ashumirepo nguva dzose maererano nezvaidiwa zuva rimwe nerimwe.
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].
Akasiya Obhedhi-Edhomu navamwe vake makumi matanhatu navasere kuti vashumire navo. Obhedhi-Edhomu mwanakomana waJedhutuni naHosa vaiva vatariri vamasuo.
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].
Dhavhidhi akasiya Zadhoki muprista navamwe vaprista pamberi petabhenakeri yaJehovha panzvimbo yakakwirira muGibheoni
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.
kuti vape zvipiriso zvinopiswa, kuna Jehovha paaritari yezvipiriso zvinopiswa, nguva dzose, mangwanani namanheru maererano nezvose zvakanga zvakanyorwa muMurayiro waJehovha waakanga apa Israeri.
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.
Pakati pavo paiva naHemani naJedhutuni navamwe vose vaiva vakasarudzwa namazita kuti vavonge Jehovha, “Nokuti rudo rwake runogara nokusingaperi.”
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].
Hemani naJedhutuni vaiva nebasa rokuridza hwamanda namakandira uye nokuridza zvimwe zviridzwa parwiyo rutsvene. Vanakomana vaJedhutuni vakaitwa vatariri vamasuo.
43 Then all the people left. They returned to their homes, and David returned home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family.
Ipapo vanhu vose vakabvapo, mumwe nomumwe akaenda kumba kwake, uye Dhavhidhi akadzokera kumba kwake kundoropafadza mhuri yake.
