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.
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 offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the LORD’s name.
Daudi aarĩkia kũruta maruta ma njino na maruta ma ũiguano-rĩ, akĩrathima andũ acio thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.
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.
Ningĩ akĩhe andũ a Isiraeli othe, arũme na andũ-a-nja o mũndũ mũgate, na gĩcunjĩ kĩa nyama, na ngũmba ya thabibũ nyũmũ.
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:
Nĩathuurire Alawii amwe matungatage mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova, na mathaithanagĩre andũ, na macookagie ngaatho, na magoocage Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, nao nĩo:
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 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 with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with shofars continually, 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 ordained giving of thanks to the LORD by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
Mũthenya ũcio ũndũ wa mbere, ũrĩa Daudi eekire nĩ kũnengera Asafu na athiritũ ake thaburi ĩno ya gũcookeria Jehova ngaatho:
8 Oh give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples.
Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, kaĩrai rĩĩtwa rĩake; menyithaniai ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ũrĩa ekĩte.
9 Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
Mũinĩrei, mũmũinĩre mũkĩmũgoocaga, mũheane ũhoro wa ciĩko ciake ciothe cia magegania.
10 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Mwĩrahei nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake itheru; ngoro cia arĩa marongoragia Jehova nĩ ikene.
11 Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
Mathaai Jehova o na hinya wake; mũmaathage ũthiũ wake hĩndĩ ciothe.
12 Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
Ririkanai magegania marĩa ekĩte, na ciama ciake, na matuĩro ma ciira marĩa atuĩte,
13 you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
inyuĩ njiaro cia Isiraeli ndungata yake, o inyuĩ ciana cia Jakubu, inyuĩ andũ ake arĩa athuurĩte.
14 He is the LORD our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
Jehova nĩwe Ngai witũ; matuĩro make ma ciira marĩ thĩ yothe.
15 Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
Nĩaririkanaga kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake nginya tene, nĩkĩo kiugo kĩrĩa aathanire, kĩrũmagĩrĩrwo nĩ njiarwa ngiri,
16 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa aarĩkanĩire na Iburahĩmu, na noguo mwĩhĩtwa ũrĩa eehĩtire harĩ Isaaka.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for 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 saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”
“Wee nĩwe ngaahe bũrũri wa Kaanani, ũtuĩke igai rĩrĩa ũkaagaya.”
19 when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maarĩ o anini magĩtarwo, o anini biũ, na maarĩ ageni kuo-rĩ,
20 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
moorũũraga kuuma rũrĩrĩ rũmwe nginya rũrĩa rũngĩ, na kuuma ũthamaki-inĩ ũmwe nginya ũrĩa ũngĩ.
21 He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Ndarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe etĩkĩririe amanyariire; nĩarũithirie athamaki nĩ ũndũ wao, akĩmeera atĩrĩ:
22 “Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
“Mũtikanahutie andũ arĩa akwa aitĩrĩrie maguta; mũtikaneke anabii akwa ũũru.”
23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.
Inĩrai Jehova, inyuĩ andũ a thĩ yothe; mũhunjagie ũhonokio wake mũthenya o mũthenya.
24 Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.
Umbũrai riiri wake kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, mumbũre mawĩko make ma magegania kũrĩ andũ othe.
25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩ mũnene, na nĩ wa kũgoocwo mũno; nĩwe wa gwĩtigĩrwo gũkĩra ngai ciothe.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
Nĩgũkorwo ngai ciothe cia ndũrĩrĩ nĩ mĩhianano, no Jehova nĩwe wombire igũrũ.
27 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
Riiri na ũnene irĩ mbere yake; hinya na gĩkeno itũũraga gwake.
28 Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
Tũũgĩriai Jehova, inyuĩ mĩhĩrĩga ya ndũrĩrĩ, mũtũũgĩrie Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa riiri na hinya wake,
29 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship the LORD in holy array.
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 that it can’t be moved.
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, “The LORD reigns!”
Igũrũ nĩ rĩkene, thĩ nĩĩcanjamũke; nakuo ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ nĩ kuugwo atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩwe ũthamakaga!”
32 Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
Iria nĩ rĩrurume, na indo iria ciothe irĩ thĩinĩ warĩo; mĩgũnda nĩĩkenerũrũke na indo iria ciothe irĩ thĩinĩ wayo!
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mĩtĩ ya mĩtitũ nĩĩkaina; ĩine nĩ gũkena ĩrĩ mbere ya Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩarooka gũciirithia thĩ.
34 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga nginya tene.
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.”
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 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD.
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 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;
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 and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
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 and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before the LORD’s tabernacle in the high place that was at 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 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;
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 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;
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 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.
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 All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe magĩthiĩ o mũndũ gwake mũciĩ, nake Daudi agĩcooka mũciĩ akarathime andũ a nyũmba yake.
