< Kronika 1 16 >

1 Ale wotsɔ Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la yi Agbadɔ si David tu nɛ la me. Israel kplɔlawo sa numevɔ kple akpedavɔ le Mawu ŋkume.
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.
2 Esi David sa numevɔ kple akpedavɔ vɔ la, eyra ameawo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ me
And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yhwh.
3 eye wòtsɔ abolo, lãkɔ kple waintsetsebolo na Israelvi ɖe sia ɖe, ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo siaa.
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.
4 Etia Levitɔ aɖewo be woanɔ nublaɖaka la ŋgɔ anɔ Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la kafum, anɔ akpe dam nɛ eye woanɔ eƒe yayra biam ɖe amewo dzi madzudzɔmadzudzɔe. Ame siwo wode dɔ sia asi na la woe nye:
And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of Yhwh, and to record, and to thank and praise Yhwh God of Israel:
5 Asaf, ameawo ƒe kplɔla, eyae ƒoa gakogoe. Eƒe hadɔwɔlawoe nye: Zekaria, Yeiel, Semiramɔt, Yehiel, Matitia, Eliab, Benaya, Obed Edom kple Yeiel. Woawoe ƒoa saŋkuwo kple kasaŋkuwo.
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;
6 Nunɔla Benaya kple Nunɔla Yahaziel kua kpẽ le nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ gbe sia gbe.
Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 Ɣe ma ɣie David dze hadzilawo ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ gɔme le Agbadɔ la me be woadzi akpedaha na Yehowa. Ame si nɔ hadzilawo nue nye Asaf.
Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank Yhwh into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
8 Wodzi ha be: Mida akpe na Yehowa Miyɔ eƒe ŋkɔ eye miɖe gbeƒã nu siwo wòwɔ la le dukɔwo dome.
Give thanks unto Yhwh, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
9 Midzi ha nɛ, midzi kafukafuha nɛ, Miɖe gbeƒã eƒe nukunuwɔwɔwo;
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
10 Miƒo adegbe le eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la ŋu, mina ame siwo dia Yehowa la ƒe dzi natso aseye.
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek Yhwh.
11 Midi Yehowa, mibia eƒe ŋusẽ, Midi eƒe ŋkume ɖaa.
Seek Yhwh and his strength, seek his face continually.
12 Miɖo ŋku nukunu siwo wòwɔ, eƒe dzesiwo kple eƒe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃wo dzi.
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
13 O Israel, eƒe dɔla ƒe dzidzimeviwo, O Yakob ƒe viwo, ame siwo wòtia.
O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 Eyae nye Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu! Eƒe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ xɔ anyigba la katã dzi.
He is Yhwh our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
15 Eɖoa ŋku eƒe nubabla kple se siwo wòde na dzidzime akpewo la dzi ɖaa,
Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
16 Eƒe nu si wòbla kple Abraham, kple atam si wòka na Isak la dzi.
Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
17 Eɖo kpe edzi na Yakob Abe sedede ene eye na Israel abe nubabla mavɔ ene be:
And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 “Wòe matsɔ Kanaanyigba la na, abe wò domenyinu ene!”
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
19 Esi wonye ame ʋɛ aɖewo ko, Womesɔ gbɔ o eye wonye amedzrowo le anyigba dzi la,
When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
20 Esime wotsa tso dukɔ me yi dukɔ me Tso fiaɖuƒe ɖeka me yi bubu me la,
And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
21 Yehowa meɖe mɔ be ame aɖeke nate wo ɖe anyi o Eka mo na fiawo le wo ta
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
22 Mawu gblɔ na fia mawo be, “Migaka asi nye amesiaminawo o eye migawɔ nuvevi nye nyagblɔɖilawo o.”
Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
23 Oo, anyigba, midzi ha na Yehowa, Miɖe gbeƒã eƒe xɔxɔ le dukɔwo dome gbe sia gbe,
Sing unto Yhwh, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.
24 Miɖe eƒe Ŋutikɔkɔefia le dukɔwo dome kple eƒe nukudɔwo fia le anyigbadzitɔwo katã dome.
Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.
25 Elabena Yehowa lolo eye wòdze kafukafu ŋutɔ; ele be woavɔ̃e wu mawuwo katã.
For great is Yhwh, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.
26 Dukɔwo ƒe mawuwo nye legbawo. Ke Yehowae wɔ dziƒowo.
For all the gods of the people are idols: But Yhwh made the heavens.
27 Atsyɔ̃ kple gãnyenye le eŋgɔ eye ŋusẽ kple ŋutikɔkɔe le eƒe kɔkɔeƒe la me.
Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.
28 O mi dukɔwo ƒe ƒomewo, mitsɔ bubu kple ŋusẽ na Yehowa.
Give unto Yhwh, ye kindreds of the people, give unto Yhwh glory and strength.
29 Ɛ̃, mitsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe si dze eƒe ŋkɔ la nɛ. Mido ɖe eŋkume kple nunana. Misubɔ Yehowa le eƒe kɔkɔenyenye ƒe atyɔ̃ me.
Give unto Yhwh the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship Yhwh in the beauty of holiness.
30 Mi anyigbawo katã, midzo nyanyanya le eŋkume. Eɖo xexea gɔme anyi goŋgoŋgoŋ, mate ŋu aʋã o.
Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
31 Dziƒowo, mitso aseye, anyigba nedzɔ dzi. Wonegblɔ le dukɔwo dome be, “Yehowae le fia ɖum.”
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, Yhwh reigneth.
32 Atsiaƒu kple emenuwo katã neɖe gbe eye gbegbe kple emenuwo katã netso aseye!
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
33 Ekema avemetiwo katã adzi ha Woadzi ha kple dzidzɔ le Yehowa ŋkume, Elabena egbɔna be yeadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu anyigba.
Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of Yhwh, because he cometh to judge the earth.
34 Mida akpe na Yehowa elabena eƒe dɔme nyo Eye eƒe lɔlɔ̃ li ɖaa.
O give thanks unto Yhwh; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
35 Mido ɣli be, “Oo Mawu, mia Ɖela, ɖe mí, Ƒo mía nu ƒu eye nàɖe mí tso dukɔwo ƒe asi me. Be míada akpe na wò ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la, Be míadzɔ dzi le wò kafukafu me.”
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.
36 Woakafu Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la Tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me. Tete ameawo katã xɔ ɖe edzi be, “Amen, mikafu Yehowa.”
Blessed be Yhwh God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised Yhwh.
37 David tia Asaf kple nɔvia Levitɔwo be woawɔ subɔsubɔdɔ ɣe sia ɣi le Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ eye woawɔ nu sia nu si hiã na wɔwɔ la gbe sia gbe.
So he left there before the ark of the covenant of Yhwh Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required:
38 Ame siwo wode dɔ sia asi na la, woe nye: Obed Edom, Yedutun ƒe vi, Hosa kple wo nɔvi blaade-vɔ-enyi, ame siwo nye agbonudzɔlawo.
And Obed–edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed–edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:
39 Wogawɔa Yehowa ƒe Agbadɔ xoxo si nɔ Gibeon to la dzi la ŋu dɔ. David gble Nunɔla Zadok kple Nunɔla bubuawo ɖi be woasubɔ Yehowa le afi ma.
And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Yhwh in the high place that was at Gibeon,
40 Wosa numevɔ na Yehowa ŋdi sia ŋdi, fiẽ sia fiẽ le numevɔsamlekpui la dzi abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Israel ene.
To offer burnt offerings unto Yhwh upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of Yhwh, which he commanded Israel;
41 David gatia Heman kple Yedutun kple ame bubu aɖewo, ame siwo ŋkɔwo wode dzesi la be woada akpe na Yehowa le eƒe lɔlɔ̃ kple amenuveve si li ɖaa la ta.
And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to Yhwh, because his mercy endureth for ever;
42 Heman kple Yedutun kua woƒe kpẽwo eye woƒoa woƒe gakogoewo kpena ɖe hadzidzi ŋu eye kafukafu dea dzi na Yehowa bobobo. Wotia Yedutun ƒe viwo wozu agbonudzɔlawo.
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.
43 Esi aseyetsotso la wu enu eye ame sia ame trɔ yi eƒe aƒe me la, David hã trɔ yi eƒe aƒe me eye wòyra eƒe aƒemetɔwo.
And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
