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.
Awo ne baleeta essanduuko ya Mukama, ne bagiyingiza mu weema Dawudi gye yali agisimbidde, ne bawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe eri Katonda.
2 When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the LORD’s name.
Awo Dawudi bwe yamala okuwaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, n’asabira abantu omukisa mu linnya lya Mukama,
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.
era n’agabira buli Muyisirayiri omusajja n’omukazi, omugaati n’ekitole eky’ezabbibu enkalu, n’ekiyungula ky’ennyama.
4 He appointed some of the Levites to minister before the LORD’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel:
Yalonda abamu ku Baleevi okuweerezanga mu maaso g’essanduuko ya Mukama, okukoowoola nga basaba, nga beebaza, era nga batendereza Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri.
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;
Asafu ye yali omukulu waabwe, Zekkaliya n’amuddirira, Yeyeeri n’addako, n’oluvannyuma Semiramosi, ne Yekyeri, ne Mattisiya, ne Eriyaabu, ne Benaya, ne Obededomu, ne Yeyeri, abookukuba entongooli n’ennanga, Asafu ye ng’akuba ebitaasa.
6 with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with shofars continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
Benaya ne Yakaziyeeri bakabona be baafuuwanga amakondeere bulijjo mu maaso g’essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Katonda.
7 Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to the LORD by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
Awo ku lunaku olwo, Dawudi n’alagira Asafu n’abantu be yakolanga nabo, basooke okwebaza Mukama nga bagamba nti:
8 Oh give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make what he has done known amongst the peoples.
Mwebaze Mukama, mukoowoole erinnya lye, mumanyise ebikolwa bye mu mawanga.
9 Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvellous works.
Mumuyimbire, muyimbe okumutendereza mwogere ku byamagero bye byonna.
10 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Erinnya lye ligulumizibwe, n’emitima gy’abo abanoonya Mukama gisanyuke.
11 Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
Mutunuulire Mukama n’amaanyi ge; munoonye amaaso ge ennaku zonna.
12 Remember his marvellous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth,
Mujjukire ebyewuunyo by’akoze, n’ebyamagero bye, n’ensala ye ey’emisango gy’alangirira,
13 you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
mmwe abazzukulu ba Isirayiri, abaweereza be, mmwe abaana ba Yakobo, abalonde be.
14 He is the LORD our God. His judgements are in all the earth.
Ye Mukama Katonda waffe; okusalawo kwe okw’emisango kubuna ensi yonna.
15 Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
Ajjukira endagaano ye emirembe gyonna, n’ekigambo kye yalagira, okutuusa ku mirembe olukumi,
16 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
gye yakola ne Ibulayimu, era n’agirayiza Isaaka.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
N’aginyweza ng’etteeka eri Yakobo, n’eri Isirayiri ng’endagaano ey’olubeerera,
18 saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”
ng’agamba nti, “Ndikuwa ensi ya Kanani, ng’omugabo, ogw’obusika bwo.”
19 when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
Omuwendo gwabwe bwe gwali omutono, era omutono ddala, nga batambuze mu yo,
20 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
baatambulatambulanga okuva mu nsi emu okudda mu ndala, n’okuva mu bwakabaka obumu okudda mu bantu abalala.
21 He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Teyaganya muntu n’omu kubanyigiriza; weewaawo, yanenya bakabaka ku lwabwe:
22 “Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
ng’agamba nti, “Temukwatanga ku abo be nnafukako amafuta, so bannabbi bange temubakolanga akabi.”
23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.
Muyimbire Mukama, mmwe ensi zonna; mulangirire obulokozi bwe buli lunaku.
24 Declare his glory amongst the nations, and his marvellous works amongst all the peoples.
Mubuulire ekitiibwa kye mu mawanga, n’ebikolwa bye ebyamagero mu bantu bonna.
25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.
Mukama mukulu era asaanira okutenderezebwa; era atiibwenga okusinga bakatonda abalala bonna.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
Bakatonda bonna abamawanga bifaananyi, naye Mukama ye yakola eggulu.
27 Honour and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
Ekitiibwa n’obukulu biri mu maaso ge, amaanyi n’essanyu biri wamu naye.
28 Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
Mugulumize Mukama, mmwe ebika eby’amawanga byonna, mutende ekitiibwa kya Mukama awamu n’amaanyi ge.
29 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship the LORD in holy array.
Muyimusize Mukama ekitiibwa ekigwanira erinnya lye; muleete ekiweebwayo, mujje mu maaso ge; musinze Mukama mu kitiibwa ky’obutukuvu bwe.
30 Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.
Mukankane mu maaso ge ensi yonna, weewaawo ensi nywevu, teyinza kusesetulwa.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say amongst the nations, “The LORD reigns!”
Eggulu lisanyuke, n’ensi ejaguze; boogere mu mawanga nti, “Mukama afuga!”
32 Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
Ennyanja ewuume, n’ebigirimu byonna, n’ennimiro zijaguze, n’okujjula kwazo!
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.
Awo emiti egy’omu kibira ginaayimba, ginaayimbira Mukama n’essanyu, kubanga akomawo okusalira ensi omusango.
34 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
Weebaze Mukama kubanga mulungi; era okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.
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.”
Mwogerere waggulu nti, “Tulokole, Ayi Katonda ow’obulokozi bwaffe; tukuŋŋaanye, otulokole eri amawanga, twebaze erinnya lyo ettukuvu, era tujagulize mu ttendo lyo.”
36 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD.
Mukama yeebazibwe, Katonda wa Isirayiri ow’emirembe n’emirembe. Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina, Mukama yeebazibwe.”
37 So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the LORD’s covenant, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;
Awo Dawudi n’aleka Asafu n’ababeezi be, okuweereza Mukama mu maaso g’essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama, nga bwe kyagwaniranga buli lunaku.
38 and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
Obededomu n’ababeezi be enkaaga mu omunaana nabo yabaleka baweereze eyo. Obededomu mutabani wa Yedusuni, era ne Kosa be baali abaggazi.
39 and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before the LORD’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,
Dawudi yaleka Zadooki, kabona ne bakabona banne mu maaso g’eweema ya Mukama mu kifo ekigulumivu e Gibyoni
40 to offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the LORD’s law, which he commanded to Israel;
okuwangayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama ku kyoto eky’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, buli nkya na buli kawungeezi, nga byonna bwe byawandiikibwa mu mateeka ga Mukama, ge yawa Isirayiri.
41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his loving kindness endures forever;
Kemani ne Yedusuni n’abalala abaalondebwa ne bayitibwa amannya gaabwe okwebaza Mukama, “kubanga okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna,” baali wamu nabo.
42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun with shofars 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.
Era Kemani ne Yedusuni baavunaanyizibwanga okufuuwa amakondeere, n’okukuba ebitaasa, n’okukubira ebivuga ebirala ku luyimba lwa Katonda. Batabani ba Yedusuni baabeeranga ku wankaaki.
43 All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
Awo abantu bonna ne baddayo ewaabwe, ne Dawudi n’addayo okusabira ennyumba ye omukisa.
