1 Chronicles 16
1 They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
Na wɔde Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no kosii ntamadan sononko bi a Dawid asiesie mu, na wɔbɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
2 When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in Yahweh’s name.
Dawid wiee no, ohyiraa nkurɔfo no wɔ Awurade din mu.
3 He gave to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.
Na ɔkyɛɛ Israelfo mmea ne mmarima nyinaa aduan. Obiara nyaa brodo mua, namkum ne bobe aba ɔfam.
4 He appointed some of the Levites to minister before Yahweh’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel:
Dawid yii saa Lewifo yi sɛ wonni nnipa no anim wɔ ɔsom mu, wɔ Awurade Apam Adaka no anim, na wɔmfa so nsrɛ ne nhyira, na wɔnna Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn ase na wɔnkamfo no.
5 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;
Asaf a na ɔda kuw yi ano no bɔɔ kyɛnkyɛn no. Na nʼabediakyirifo yɛ Sakaria a ɔto so abien, afei Yeiel, Semiramot, Yehiel, Matitia, Eliab, Benaia, Obed-Edom ne Yahasiel. Wɔn na wɔbɔɔ mmɛnta ne asankuten.
6 with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
Na Asɔfo Benaia ne Yahasiel taa bɔ ntorobɛnto wɔ Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no anim.
7 Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to Yahweh by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
Saa da no, Dawid de saa aseda dwom a ɔde ma Awurade yi maa Asaf ne ne mfɛfo Lewifo:
8 Oh give thanks to Yahweh. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples.
Da Awurade ase na da ne kɛseyɛ adi. Ma wiase nyinaa nhu nea wayɛ.
9 Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
Monto dwom mma no, monto ayeyi dwom mma no; monka nʼanwonwade no nyinaa.
10 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
Monhoahoa mo ho wɔ ne din kronkron mu; momma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ Awurade no nnya koma mu anigye.
11 Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
Momma mo ani nna Awurade ne nʼahoɔden so; na monhwehwɛ nʼanim bere biara.
12 Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
Monkae anwonwade a wayɛ, ne nsɛnkyerɛnne ne atɛn a obui.
13 you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
Mo Israelmma, Onyankopɔn somfo, Yakob mma a wapaw wɔn.
14 He is Yahweh our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
Ɔyɛ Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn; nʼahenni da adi wɔ asase so nyinaa.
15 Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
Ɔkae nʼapam daa nyinaa, asɛm a ɔhyɛ maa awo ntoantoaso apem no.
16 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
Eyi ne apam a ɔne Abraham yɛe ne ntam a ɔka kyerɛɛ Isak.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, 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, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”
“Mede Kanaan asase no bɛma wo sɛ kyɛfa a ɛbɛyɛ wʼagyapade.”
19 when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
Ɔkaa eyi bere a na wɔnnɔɔso, ahɔhokuw ketewa bi a wɔwɔ Kanaan.
20 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
Wofii aman so kɔɔ aman so, fii ahemman mu kɔɔ ahemman mu.
21 He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Nanso wamma obi anhyɛ wɔn so; wɔn nti, ɔkaa ahene anim se;
22 “Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
“Mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn a masra wɔn ngo, na monnyɛ mʼadiyifo bɔne bi.”
23 Sing to Yahweh, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.
Momma asase nyinaa nto dwom mma Awurade! Da biara, mompae mu nka asɛmpa no sɛ ogye nkwa.
24 Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.
Mommɔ nʼanuonyam nneyɛe ho dawuru wɔ amanaman mu. Monka anwonwade a ɔyɛ nkyerɛ obiara.
25 For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.
Awurade yɛ ɔkɛse! Na nkamfo fata no! Ɛsɛ sɛ wosuro no sen anyame nyinaa.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.
Aman so anyame nyinaa yɛ ahoni bi kwa, nanso Awurade na ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro!
27 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
Anuonyam ne tumi atwa ne ho ahyia, ahoɔden ne ahoɔfɛ wɔ nʼatenae.
28 Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of the peoples, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!
Momfa mma Awurade, Amanaman mmusuakuw, momfa anuonyam ne tumi mma Awurade.
29 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship Yahweh in holy array.
Momfa anuonyam a ɛfata mma Awurade! Momfa mo afɔrebɔde mmra mmɛsom no. Monsɔre Awurade wɔ ne hyerɛn kronkron nyinaa mu.
30 Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.
Momma asase nyinaa mpopo wɔ nʼanim. Wɔatim wiase dennen a entumi nhinhim.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns!”
Momma ɔsoro ani nnye na asase nsɛpɛw ne ho! Momma aman nyinaa nte sɛ, Awurade yɛ ɔhene.
32 Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
Momma ɛpo ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa nteɛ mu nkamfo no. Momma mfuw ne wɔn nnɔbae mfa ahosɛpɛw mpue.
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth.
Momma kwae nnua nnyigyei nyɛ ayeyi Awurade anim! Efisɛ ɔrebebu asase atɛn.
34 Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
Monna Awurade ase, efisɛ oye na nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa.
35 Say, “Save us, God of our salvation! Gather us together and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise.”
Monteɛteɛ mu se, “Gye yɛn, Ao yɛn nkwagye Onyankopɔn! Boa yɛn ano, na gye yɛn fi amanaman nsam, na yɛatumi ada wo din kronkron ase, na yɛadi ahurusi akamfo wo.”
36 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised Yahweh.
Ayeyi nka Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, emfi mmeresanten nkosi nnasanten. Na nnipa no nyinaa gyee so se, “Amen!” Na wɔkamfoo Awurade.
37 So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;
Dawid hyehyɛ maa Asaf ne ne mfɛfo Lewifo no sɛ wɔnsom daa wɔ Awurade Apam Adaka no anim, na wɔnyɛ nea ehia sɛ wɔyɛ no da biara.
38 and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
Saa kuw yi mu nnipa ne Obed-Edom (a ɔyɛ Yedutun babarima no), Hosa ne Lewifo aduosia awotwe a wɔyɛ apon ano hwɛfo.
39 and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before Yahweh’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,
Dawid de ɔsɔfo Sadok ne ne mfɛfo asɔfo tenaa Awurade Ahyiae Ntamadan a ɛwɔ bepɔw Gibeon no, sɛ wɔnsom wɔ Awurade anim wɔ hɔ.
40 to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in Yahweh’s law, which he commanded to Israel;
Anɔpa ne anwummere biara, wɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ afɔremuka a wɔayi asi hɔ ama saa dwumadi no so. Na wodii biribiara a wɔakyerɛw sɛ Awurade mmara a ɔde ama Israel no so.
41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, because his loving kindness endures forever;
Dawid san yii Heman, Yedutun ne afoforo bi a wɔbobɔɔ wɔn din, yiyii wɔn no sɛ wɔnna Awurade ase “Na nʼadɔe no tim hɔ daa.”
42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.
Heman ne Yedutun bɔɔ wɔn ntorobɛnto, kyɛnkyɛn ne nnwontode ahorow de gyigyee ayeyi nnwom a wɔto maa Onyankopɔn no ho. Na woyii Yedutun mmabarima ma wɔyɛɛ apon ano hwɛfo.
43 All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
Na nnipa no nyinaa san kɔɔ wɔn afi mu. Dawid nso san kɔɔ ne fi, kohyiraa ne fifo.
