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 in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tabernacle which David pitched for it; and they offered whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings before God.
2 Esi David sa numevɔ kple akpedavɔ vɔ la, eyra ameawo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ me
And David finished offering up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings, and blessed the people in the name of the Lord.

And he divided to every man of Israel (both men and women), to [every] man one baker's loaf, and a cake.

And he appointed before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, Levites to minister [and] lift up the voice, and to give thanks and praise the Lord 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 [was] the chief, and next to him Zacharias, Jeiel, Semiramoth, and Jeiel, Mattathias, Eliab, and Banaeas, and Abdedom: and Jeiel sounding with musical instruments, lutes [and] harps, and Asaph with cymbals:
6 Nunɔla Benaya kple Nunɔla Yahaziel kua kpẽ le nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ gbe sia gbe.
and Banaeas and Oziel the priests [sounding] continually with trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God in that day.
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 David first gave orders to praise the Lord by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

Let us remember his covenant for ever, his word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

which he covenanted with Abraham, and his oath [sworn] to Isaac.
17 Eɖo kpe edzi na Yakob Abe sedede ene eye na Israel abe nubabla mavɔ ene be:
He confirmed it to Jacob for an ordinance, to Israel [as] an everlasting covenant,
18 “Wòe matsɔ Kanaanyigba la na, abe wò domenyinu ene!”
saying, To you will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
19 Esi wonye ame ʋɛ aɖewo ko, Womesɔ gbɔ o eye wonye amedzrowo le anyigba dzi la,
when they were few in number, when they were but little, and lived as strangers in it;
20 Esime wotsa tso dukɔ me yi dukɔ me Tso fiaɖuƒe ɖeka me yi bubu me la,
and 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 not a man to oppress them, and 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 my anointed ones, and deal not wrongfully with my prophets.
23 Oo, anyigba, midzi ha na Yehowa, Miɖe gbeƒã eƒe xɔxɔ le dukɔwo dome gbe sia gbe,
Sing you to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim his salvation from day to day.

And say you, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us, and rescue us from among the heathen, that we may praise your holy name, and glory in your praises.

And Abdedom and his brethren [were] sixty and eight; and Abdedom the son of Idithun, and Osa, [were] to be doorkeepers.
