< 1 Chronicles 16 >
1 They brought in the ark of God and put it in the middle of the tent that David had set up for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before God.
Alawii makĩrehe ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai, makĩrĩtoonyia thĩinĩ wa hema ĩrĩa yaambĩtwo nĩ Daudi nĩ ũndũ warĩo, na makĩrutĩra Ngai maruta ma njino na maruta ma ũiguano.
2 When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh.
Daudi aarĩkia kũruta maruta ma njino na maruta ma ũiguano-rĩ, akĩrathima andũ acio thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.
3 He distributed to every Israelite, both to men and women, a loaf of bread, and a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins.
Ningĩ akĩhe andũ a Isiraeli othe, arũme na andũ-a-nja o mũndũ mũgate, na gĩcunjĩ kĩa nyama, na ngũmba ya thabibũ nyũmũ.
4 David appointed certain Levites to serve before the ark of Yahweh, and to celebrate, thank and praise Yahweh, the God of Israel.
Nĩathuurire Alawii amwe matungatage mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova, na mathaithanagĩre andũ, na macookagie ngaatho, na magoocage Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, nao nĩo:
5 These Levites were Asaph the leader, and second to him Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed Edom, and Jeiel. These were to play with stringed instruments and with harps. Asaph was to sound the cymbals, sounding loudly.
Asafu ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wao, na mũnini wake aarĩ Zekaria, agacookwo nĩ Jeieli, na Shemiramothu, na Jehieli, na Matithia, na Eliabu, na Benaia, na Obedi-Edomu, na Jeieli. Acio maarĩ a kũhũũraga inanda cia kĩnũbi na inanda cia mũgeeto, nake Asafu agambagie thaani iria ihũũrithanagio ikagamba,
6 Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow the trumpets regularly, before the ark of the covenant of God.
nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai, Benaia na Jahazieli, maarĩ a kũhuha tũrumbeta hĩndĩ ciothe marĩ mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Ngai.
7 Then on that day David first appointed Asaph and his brothers to sing this song of thanksgiving to Yahweh.
Mũthenya ũcio ũndũ wa mbere, ũrĩa Daudi eekire nĩ kũnengera Asafu na athiritũ ake thaburi ĩno ya gũcookeria Jehova ngaatho:
8 Give thanks to Yahweh, call on his name; make known his deeds among the nations.
Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, kaĩrai rĩĩtwa rĩake; menyithaniai ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ũrĩa ekĩte.
9 Sing to him, sing praises to him; speak of all his marvelous deeds.
Mũinĩrei, mũmũinĩre mũkĩmũgoocaga, mũheane ũhoro wa ciĩko ciake ciothe cia magegania.
10 Boast in his holy name; let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
Mwĩrahei nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake itheru; ngoro cia arĩa marongoragia Jehova nĩ ikene.
11 Seek Yahweh and his strength; seek his presence continually.
Mathaai Jehova o na hinya wake; mũmaathage ũthiũ wake hĩndĩ ciothe.
12 Recall the marvelous things he has done, his miracles and the decrees from his mouth,
Ririkanai magegania marĩa ekĩte, na ciama ciake, na matuĩro ma ciira marĩa atuĩte,
13 you descendants of Israel his servant, you people of Jacob, his chosen ones.
inyuĩ njiaro cia Isiraeli ndungata yake, o inyuĩ ciana cia Jakubu, inyuĩ andũ ake arĩa athuurĩte.
14 He is Yahweh, our God. His decrees are on all the earth.
Jehova nĩwe Ngai witũ; matuĩro make ma ciira marĩ thĩ yothe.
15 Keep his covenant in mind forever, the word that he commanded for a thousand generations.
Nĩaririkanaga kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake nginya tene, nĩkĩo kiugo kĩrĩa aathanire, kĩrũmagĩrĩrwo nĩ njiarwa ngiri,
16 He calls to mind the covenant that he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac.
kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa aarĩkanĩire na Iburahĩmu, na noguo mwĩhĩtwa ũrĩa eehĩtire harĩ Isaaka.
17 This is what he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, and to Israel as an everlasting covenant.
Nĩagĩĩkĩrire hinya harĩ Jakubu kĩrĩ kĩrĩra gĩake kĩa watho wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo, agĩgĩĩkĩra hinya kũrĩ Isiraeli kĩrĩ kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra tene na tene, akiuga atĩrĩ:
18 He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan as your share of your inheritance.”
“Wee nĩwe ngaahe bũrũri wa Kaanani, ũtuĩke igai rĩrĩa ũkaagaya.”
19 When they were only few in number, so very few, and they were strangers in the land,
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maarĩ o anini magĩtarwo, o anini biũ, na maarĩ ageni kuo-rĩ,
20 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
moorũũraga kuuma rũrĩrĩ rũmwe nginya rũrĩa rũngĩ, na kuuma ũthamaki-inĩ ũmwe nginya ũrĩa ũngĩ.
21 He did not allow anyone to oppress them; he punished kings for their sakes.
Ndarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe etĩkĩririe amanyariire; nĩarũithirie athamaki nĩ ũndũ wao, akĩmeera atĩrĩ:
22 he said, “Do not touch my anointed ones, and do not harm my prophets.”
“Mũtikanahutie andũ arĩa akwa aitĩrĩrie maguta; mũtikaneke anabii akwa ũũru.”
23 Sing to Yahweh, all the earth; announce his salvation day after day.
Inĩrai Jehova, inyuĩ andũ a thĩ yothe; mũhunjagie ũhonokio wake mũthenya o mũthenya.
24 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all the nations.
Umbũrai riiri wake kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, mumbũre mawĩko make ma magegania kũrĩ andũ othe.
25 For Yahweh is great and is to be praised greatly, and he is to be feared above all other gods.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩ mũnene, na nĩ wa kũgoocwo mũno; nĩwe wa gwĩtigĩrwo gũkĩra ngai ciothe.
26 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is Yahweh who made the heavens.
Nĩgũkorwo ngai ciothe cia ndũrĩrĩ nĩ mĩhianano, no Jehova nĩwe wombire igũrũ.
27 Splendor and majesty are in his presence. Strength and joy are in his place.
Riiri na ũnene irĩ mbere yake; hinya na gĩkeno itũũraga gwake.
28 Ascribe to Yahweh, you clans of peoples, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!
Tũũgĩriai Jehova, inyuĩ mĩhĩrĩga ya ndũrĩrĩ, mũtũũgĩrie Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa riiri na hinya wake,
29 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory his name deserves. Bring an offering and come before him. Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness.
Tũũgĩriai Jehova, nĩ ũndũ wa riiri ũrĩa wagĩrĩire rĩĩtwa rĩake. Mũreherei maruta na mũũke mbere yake; mũhooe Jehova thĩinĩ wa riiri wa ũtheru wake.
30 Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established; it cannot be shaken.
Inainai mũrĩ mbere yake, inyuĩ andũ a thĩ yothe! Thĩ ĩhaandĩtwo ĩkarũma; ndĩngĩenyenyeka.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let them say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.”
Igũrũ nĩ rĩkene, thĩ nĩĩcanjamũke; nakuo ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ nĩ kuugwo atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩwe ũthamakaga!”
32 Let the sea roar, and that which fills it shout with joy. Let the fields be joyful, and all that is in them.
Iria nĩ rĩrurume, na indo iria ciothe irĩ thĩinĩ warĩo; mĩgũnda nĩĩkenerũrũke na indo iria ciothe irĩ thĩinĩ wayo!
33 Then let the trees in the forest shout for joy before Yahweh, for he is coming to judge the earth.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mĩtĩ ya mĩtitũ nĩĩkaina; ĩine nĩ gũkena ĩrĩ mbere ya Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩarooka gũciirithia thĩ.
34 Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga nginya tene.
35 Then say, “Save us, God of our salvation. Gather us together and rescue us from the other nations, so that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praises.”
Anĩrĩrai muuge atĩrĩ, “Tũhonokie, Wee Ngai Mũhonokia witũ; tũcookanĩrĩrie na ũtũkũũre kuuma kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, nĩguo tũcookagĩrie rĩĩtwa rĩaku itheru ngaatho, nĩgeetha twĩrahage nĩ ũndũ wa ũgooci waku.”
36 May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised from everlasting to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen” and praised Yahweh.
Jehova arogoocwo, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, kuuma tene na tene, nginya tene na tene. Nao andũ othe makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ameni” na “Goocai Jehova.”
37 So David left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to serve continually before the ark, as every day's work required.
Daudi agĩtiga Asafu na athiritũ ake hau mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova nĩguo matungatage kuo hĩndĩ ciothe, kũringana na mabata ma o mũthenya.
38 Obed Edom with those sixty-eight relatives were included. Obed Edom son of Jeduthun, along with Hosah, were to be gatekeepers.
O na ningĩ agĩtiga Obedi-Edomu na athiritũ ake mĩrongo ĩtandatũ na anana matungatage hamwe nao. Obedi-Edomu mũrũ wa Jeduthuni marĩ na Hosa maarĩ arangĩri a kĩhingo.
39 Zadok the priest and his fellow priests were to serve before the tabernacle of Yahweh at the high place in Gibeon.
Daudi agĩtiga Zadoku ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai hamwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa angĩ hau mbere ya hema ĩrĩa nyamũre, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kũu Gibeoni,
40 They were to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar for burnt offerings continually morning and evening, according to all that is written in the law of Yahweh, which he gave as a command to Israel.
nĩguo marutagĩre Jehova maruta ma njino kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa maruta ma njino hĩndĩ ciothe, rũciinĩ na hwaĩ-inĩ, kũringana na ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo watho-inĩ wa Jehova ũrĩa aaheete andũ a Isiraeli.
41 Heman and Jeduthun were with them, together with the rest who were chosen by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, because his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
Arĩa maarĩ hamwe nao nĩ Hemani na Jeduthuni, na arĩa angĩ maarĩ athuure na makagwetwo na marĩĩtwa nĩgeetha macookagĩrie Jehova ngaatho, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Tondũ wendo wake ũtũũraga nginya tene.”
42 Heman and Jeduthun were in charge of those who played trumpets, cymbals, and the other instruments for the sacred music. The sons of Jeduthun guarded the gate.
Hemani na Jeduthuni nĩo meehokeirwo kũhuha tũrumbeta, na kũhũũrithania thaani iria ihũũrithanagio ikagamba, o na kũhũũraga inanda iria ingĩ cia kũina rwĩmbo rwamũre. Ariũ a Jeduthuni nĩo maaheirwo wĩra wa kũrangĩra kĩhingo.
43 Then all the people returned to their homes, and David returned to bless his own household.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe magĩthiĩ o mũndũ gwake mũciĩ, nake Daudi agĩcooka mũciĩ akarathime andũ a nyũmba yake.
