1 Chronicles 16
1 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt-sacrifices and peace-offerings before God.
Na wɔde Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no kɔsii ntomadan sononko bi a Dawid asiesie mu, na wɔbɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
2 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.
Dawid wieeɛ no, ɔhyiraa nnipa no wɔ Awurade din mu.
3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon [of wine].
Na ɔkyɛɛ Israelfoɔ mmaa ne mmarima nyinaa aduane. Obiara nyaa burodo mua, nankum ne bobe aba ɔfam.
4 And he appointed [certain] of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel:
Dawid yii saa Lewifoɔ yi sɛ wɔnni nnipa no anim wɔ ɔsom mu, wɔ Awurade Apam Adaka no anim, na wɔmfa so nsrɛ ne nhyira, na wɔnna Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn ase na wɔnkamfo no.
5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;
Asaf a na ɔda kuo yi ano no bɔɔ kyankyan no. Na nʼabadiakyirefoɔ yɛ Sakaria a ɔtɔ so mmienu, afei, Yeiel, Semiramot, Yehiel, Matitia, Eliab, Benaia, Obed-Edom ne Yahasiel. Wɔn na wɔbɔɔ mmɛnta ne asankuten.
6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
Asɔfoɔ Benaia ne Yahasiel taa bɔ ntotorobɛnto wɔ Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no anim.
7 Then on that day David delivered first [this psalm] to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
Saa ɛda no, Dawid de saa aseda dwom a ɔde ma Awurade yi maa Asaf ne ne mfɛfoɔ Lewifoɔ:
8 Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
Ɛda Awurade ase na da ne kɛseyɛ adi. Ma ewiase nyinaa nhunu deɛ wayɛ.
9 Sing to him, sing psalms to him, talk ye of all his wonderous works.
Monto dwom mma no, monto ayɛyie dwom mma no; monka nʼanwanwadeɛ no nyinaa.
10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
Monhoahoa mo ho wɔ ne din kronkron mu; momma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ Awurade no nnya akoma mu anigyeɛ.
11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
Momma mo ani nna Awurade ne nʼahoɔden so; na monhwehwɛ nʼanim ɛberɛ biara.
12 Remember his wonderful works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
Monkae anwanwadeɛ a wayɛ, ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ne atemmuo a ɔbuiɛ.
13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
Ao Israel mma, Onyankopɔn ɔsomfoɔ, Ao Yakob mma a wapa wɔn.
14 He [is] the LORD our God; his judgments [are] in all the earth.
Ɔyɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn; nʼahennie da adi wɔ asase so nyinaa.
15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word [which] he commanded to a thousand generations;
Ɔkae nʼapam daa nyinaa, asɛm a ɔhyɛ maa awoɔ ntoantoasoɔ apem no.
16 [Even of the covenant] which he made with Abraham, and of his oath to Isaac;
Yei ne apam a ɔne Abraham yɛeɛ ne ntam a ɔka kyerɛɛ Isak.
17 And which he confirmed to Jacob for a law, [and] to Israel [for] an everlasting covenant,
Ɔhyɛɛ mu den maa Yakob sɛ mmara, de maa Israel sɛ apam a ɛbɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ;
18 Saying, To thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
“Mede Kanaan asase no bɛma wo sɛ kyɛfa a ɛbɛyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ.”
19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
Ɔkaa yei wɔ ɛberɛ a na wɔnnɔɔso, ahɔhokuo ketewa bi a wɔwɔ Kanaan.
20 And [when] they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to another people;
Wɔfirii aman so kɔɔ aman so, firii ahemman mu kɔɔ ahemman mu.
21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Nanso, wamma obi anhyɛ wɔn so; wɔn enti, ɔkaa ahene anim sɛ;
22 [Saying], Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
“Mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn a masra wɔn ngo, na monnyɛ mʼadiyifoɔ bɔne bi.”
23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to day his salvation.
Momma asase nyinaa nto dwom mma Awurade! Ɛda biara mompae mu nka asɛmpa no sɛ ɔgye nkwa.
24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his wonderful works among all nations.
Mommɔ nʼanimuonyam nneyɛɛ ho dawuro wɔ amanaman mu. Monka anwanwadeɛ a ɔyɛ nkyerɛ obiara.
25 For great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also [is] to be feared above all gods.
Awurade yɛ kɛseɛ! Na ɔfata ayɛyie! Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsuro no sene anyame nyinaa.
26 For all the gods of the people [are] idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
Anyame a wɔwɔ aman foforɔ so yɛ ahoni bi kwa, nanso Awurade na ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro!
27 Glory and honor [are] in his presence; strength and gladness [are] in his place.
Animuonyam ne tumi atwa ne ho ahyia, ahoɔden ne ahoɔfɛ wɔ nʼatenaeɛ.
28 Give to the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength.
Momfa mma Awurade, Ao amanaman mmusuakuo, momfa animuonyam ne tumi mma Awurade.
29 Give to the LORD the glory [due] to his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
Momfa animuonyam a ɛfata mma Awurade! Momfa mo afɔrebɔdeɛ mmra mmɛsom no. Monsɔre Awurade wɔ ne hyerɛn kronkron nyinaa mu.
30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
Momma asase nyinaa mpopo wɔ nʼanim. Wɔatim ewiase denden a ɛntumi nhinhim.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let [men] say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.
Momma ɔsoro ani nnye na asase nsɛpɛ ne ho! Momma aman nyinaa nte sɛ, “Awurade yɛ ɔhene!”
32 Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that [is] therein.
Momma ɛpo ne deɛ ɛwɔ mu nyinaa nteam nkamfo no. Momma mfuo ne wɔn nnɔbaeɛ mfa ahosɛpɛ mpue.
33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.
Momma kwaeɛm nnua nnyegyeeɛ nyɛ ayɛyie Awurade anim! Ɛfiri sɛ ɔrebɛbu asase atɛn.
34 O give thanks to the LORD; for [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
Monna Awurade ase, ɛfiri sɛ ɔyɛ na nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa.
35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, [and] glory in thy praise.
Monteateam sɛ, “Gye yɛn, Ao yɛn nkwagyeɛ Onyankopɔn! Boa yɛn ano, na gye yɛn firi amanaman nsam, na yɛatumi ada wo din kronkron ase, na yɛadi ahurisie akamfo wo.”
36 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.
Ayɛyie nka Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, ɛmfiri mmerɛsanten nkɔsi nnasanten. Na nnipa no nyinaa gyee so sɛ, “Amen!” Na wɔkamfoo Awurade.
37 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required:
Dawid hyehyɛ maa Asaf ne ne mfɛfoɔ Lewifoɔ no sɛ wɔnsom daa wɔ Awurade Apam Adaka no anim, na wɔnyɛ deɛ ɛhia sɛ wɔyɛ no da biara.
38 And Obed-edom with their brethren, sixty and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah [to be] porters:
Saa ekuo yi mu nnipa ne Obed-Edom (a ɔyɛ Yedutun babarima no), Hosa ne Lewifoɔ aduosia nwɔtwe a wɔyɛ apono anohwɛfoɔ.
39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that [was] at Gibeon,
Dawid de ɔsɔfoɔ Sadok ne ne mfɛfoɔ asɔfoɔ tenaa Awurade Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan a ɛwɔ bepɔ Gibeon mu no, sɛ wɔnsom Awurade anim wɔ hɔ.
40 To offer burnt-offerings to the LORD upon the altar of the burnt-offering continually morning and evening, and [to do] according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel;
Anɔpa ne anwummerɛ biara, wɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia a wɔayi asi hɔ ama saa dwumadie no so. Na wɔdii biribiara a wɔatwerɛ sɛ Awurade mmara a ɔde ama Israel no so.
41 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy [endureth] for ever;
Dawid sane yii Heman, Yedutun ne afoforɔ bi a wɔbobɔɔ wɔn din, yiyii wɔn no sɛ, wɔnna Awurade ase “Na nʼadɔeɛ no tim hɔ daa.”
42 And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun [were] porters.
Heman ne Yedutun bɔɔ wɔn ntotorobɛnto, kyankyan ne nnwontodeɛ ahodoɔ de gyegyee ayɛyie nnwom a wɔto maa Onyankopɔn no ho. Na wɔyii Yedutun mmammarima maa wɔyɛɛ apono anohwɛfoɔ.
43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
Na nnipa no nyinaa sane kɔɔ wɔn afie mu. Dawid nso sane kɔɔ ne fie, kɔhyiraa ne fiefoɔ.
