2 Daudi aarĩkia kũruta maruta ma njino na maruta ma ũiguano-rĩ, akĩrathima andũ acio thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.
UDavida eseqedile ukunikela ngeminikelo yokutshiswa langeyobudlelwano, wabusisa abantu ngebizo likaThixo.
3 Ningĩ akĩhe andũ a Isiraeli othe, arũme na andũ-a-nja o mũndũ mũgate, na gĩcunjĩ kĩa nyama, na ngũmba ya thabibũ nyũmũ.
Wababela bonke abako-Israyeli, abesilisa labesifazane, yilowo lalowo isinkwa, lekhekhe lezithelo kanye lekhekhe lamavini awonyisiweyo.

5 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,

abaphristi uBhenaya loJahaziyeli bengabokuvuthela amacilongo phambi kwebhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.
7 Mũthenya ũcio ũndũ wa mbere, ũrĩa Daudi eekire nĩ kũnengera Asafu na athiritũ ake thaburi ĩno ya gũcookeria Jehova ngaatho:
Ngalolosuku uDavida wamisa ukuba u-Asafi labanye bakhe bahlabelele lelihubo bebonga uThixo:
8 Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, kaĩrai rĩĩtwa rĩake; menyithaniai ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ũrĩa ekĩte.
Bongani uThixo, memezani ibizo lakhe, lizazise phakathi kwabantu izenzo zakhe.
9 Mũinĩrei, mũmũinĩre mũkĩmũgoocaga, mũheane ũhoro wa ciĩko ciake ciothe cia magegania.
Hlabelelani kuye, hlabelelani indumiso kuye; likhulume ngezenzo zakhe zonke ezimangalisayo.
10 Mwĩrahei nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake itheru; ngoro cia arĩa marongoragia Jehova nĩ ikene.
Jabulani ebizweni lakhe elingcwele; kazithokoze inhliziyo zabo abamdingayo uThixo.
11 Mathaai Jehova o na hinya wake; mũmaathage ũthiũ wake hĩndĩ ciothe.
Dingani uThixo lamandla akhe, limdinge yena njalonjalo.
12 Ririkanai magegania marĩa ekĩte, na ciama ciake, na matuĩro ma ciira marĩa atuĩte,
Khumbulani izenzo zakhe ezimangalisayo azenzayo, izimangaliso azenzayo, lezahlulelo azikhulumayo,
13 inyuĩ njiaro cia Isiraeli ndungata yake, o inyuĩ ciana cia Jakubu, inyuĩ andũ ake arĩa athuurĩte.
lina zizukulwane zika-Israyeli inceku yakhe, lina madodana kaJakhobe, abakhethiweyo bakhe.
14 Jehova nĩwe Ngai witũ; matuĩro make ma ciira marĩ thĩ yothe.
Yena unguThixo uNkulunkulu wethu; izahlulelo zakhe zigcwele wonke umhlaba.
15 Nĩaririkanaga kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake nginya tene, nĩkĩo kiugo kĩrĩa aathanire, kĩrũmagĩrĩrwo nĩ njiarwa ngiri,
Uyakhumbula isivumelwano sakhe nini lanini, ilizwi lomlayo wakhe, okwezizukulwane ezizinkulungwane,
16 kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa aarĩkanĩire na Iburahĩmu, na noguo mwĩhĩtwa ũrĩa eehĩtire harĩ Isaaka.
isivumelwano asenza lo-Abhrahama, isifungo asenza lo-Isaka,
17 Nĩagĩĩkĩrire hinya harĩ Jakubu kĩrĩ kĩrĩra gĩake kĩa watho wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo, agĩgĩĩkĩra hinya kũrĩ Isiraeli kĩrĩ kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra tene na tene, akiuga atĩrĩ:
wasiqinisa kuJakhobe saba yisimiso, laku-Israyeli saba yisivumelwano esingapheliyo,
18 “Wee nĩwe ngaahe bũrũri wa Kaanani, ũtuĩke igai rĩrĩa ũkaagaya.”
wathi “Ngizalinika ilizwe laseKhenani njengesabelo selifa lenu.”
19 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maarĩ o anini magĩtarwo, o anini biũ, na maarĩ ageni kuo-rĩ,
Kwathi lisesebalutshwana, bebalutshwana kakhulu, beyizihambi kulo,
20 moorũũraga kuuma rũrĩrĩ rũmwe nginya rũrĩa rũngĩ, na kuuma ũthamaki-inĩ ũmwe nginya ũrĩa ũngĩ.
bezula kuzizwe ngezizwe besuka komunye umbuso besiya komunye.
21 Ndarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe etĩkĩririe amanyariire; nĩarũithirie athamaki nĩ ũndũ wao, akĩmeera atĩrĩ:
Kavumelanga loba ngubani ukubancindezela; wawakhuza amakhosi ngenxa yabo,
22 “Mũtikanahutie andũ arĩa akwa aitĩrĩrie maguta; mũtikaneke anabii akwa ũũru.”
“Lingabathinti abagcotshiweyo bami; lingahlukuluzi abaphrofethi bami.”
23 Inĩrai Jehova, inyuĩ andũ a thĩ yothe; mũhunjagie ũhonokio wake mũthenya o mũthenya.
Hlabelani kuThixo lina, mhlaba wonke, limemezele insindiso yakhe insuku ngezinsuku.
24 Umbũrai riiri wake kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, mumbũre mawĩko make ma magegania kũrĩ andũ othe.
Fakazani ngobukhosi bakhe ezizweni zonke, lemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.
25 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩ mũnene, na nĩ wa kũgoocwo mũno; nĩwe wa gwĩtigĩrwo gũkĩra ngai ciothe.
Ngoba umkhulu uThixo, ufanele ukudunyiswa ngokuphindiweyo; kumele esatshwe ngaphezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
26 Nĩgũkorwo ngai ciothe cia ndũrĩrĩ nĩ mĩhianano, no Jehova nĩwe wombire igũrũ.
Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe; kodwa uThixo wadala amazulu.
27 Riiri na ũnene irĩ mbere yake; hinya na gĩkeno itũũraga gwake.
Inkazimulo lobukhosi kuphambi Kwakhe Amandla lentokozo kusendaweni yakhe yokuhlala.
28 Tũũgĩriai Jehova, inyuĩ mĩhĩrĩga ya ndũrĩrĩ, mũtũũgĩrie Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa riiri na hinya wake,
Mnikeni uThixo, lina zizukulwane zezizwe. Mnikeni uThixo ubukhosi lamandla.
29 Tũũgĩriai Jehova, nĩ ũndũ wa riiri ũrĩa wagĩrĩire rĩĩtwa rĩake. Mũreherei maruta na mũũke mbere yake; mũhooe Jehova thĩinĩ wa riiri wa ũtheru wake.
Mnikeni uThixo udumo olufanele ibizo lakhe. Lethani umnikelo libuye phambi kwakhe. Mkhonzeni uThixo enkazimulweni yobungcwele bakhe;
30 Inainai mũrĩ mbere yake, inyuĩ andũ a thĩ yothe! Thĩ ĩhaandĩtwo ĩkarũma; ndĩngĩenyenyeka.
thuthumelani phambi kwakhe mhlaba wonke! Umhlaba ugxilile, ngeke ugudluzwe.
31 Igũrũ nĩ rĩkene, thĩ nĩĩcanjamũke; nakuo ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ nĩ kuugwo atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩwe ũthamakaga!”
Amazulu kawathokoze, lomhlaba ujabule, kabathi phakathi kwabezizwe, “UThixo uyabusa.”
32 Iria nĩ rĩrurume, na indo iria ciothe irĩ thĩinĩ warĩo; mĩgũnda nĩĩkenerũrũke na indo iria ciothe irĩ thĩinĩ wayo!
Ulwandle kaluhlokome lakho konke okukulo, amasimu kawathakazelele lakho konke okukuwo.
33 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mĩtĩ ya mĩtitũ nĩĩkaina; ĩine nĩ gũkena ĩrĩ mbere ya Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩarooka gũciirithia thĩ.
Lapho-ke izihlahla zonke zeganga zizahlabela ngentokozo phambi kukaThixo, ngoba uyeza ukuzakwahlulela umhlaba.
34 Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga nginya tene.
Bongani uThixo ngoba ulungile. Uthando lwakhe olungapheliyo lumi kokuphela.
35 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.”
Celani lithi: “Sisindise, Oh Nkulunkulu Mkhululi wethu, usiqoqe usikhulule phakathi kwezizwe, ukuze silibonge ibizo lakho elingcwele, sijabule ekukudumiseni.”
36 Jehova arogoocwo, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, kuuma tene na tene, nginya tene na tene. Nao andũ othe makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ameni” na “Goocai Jehova.”
Kabongwe uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, kusukela endulo kuze kube nininini. Bonke abantu bathi: “Ameni. Kabongwe uThixo!”
37 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.
UDavida wasetshiya o-Asafi labakhula bakhe ukuba bagcine ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo, bakhonze njalo benze konke okufanele kwenziwe lapho ngezinsuku zonke.
38 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.
Abanye abatshiya lapho ukuze bakhonze labo ngo-Obhedi-Edomi labakhula bakhe, ababengamatshumi ayisithupha lasificaminwembili. U-Obhedi-Edomi indodana kaJeduthuni, kanye loHosa babengabalindi bamasango.
39 Daudi agĩtiga Zadoku ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai hamwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa angĩ hau mbere ya hema ĩrĩa nyamũre, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kũu Gibeoni,
UDavida watshiya uZadokhi umphristi kanye labanye abaphristi phambi kwethabanikeli likaThixo endaweni ephakemeyo yokukhonzela eGibhiyoni
40 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.
ukunikela kuThixo iminikelo yokutshiswa e-alithareni ngezikhathi zonke, ekuseni lantambama, njengokulotshiweyo eMthethweni kaThixo, awupha abako-Israyeli.
41 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.”
Abanye abasala labo babengoHemani loJeduthuni labanye bonke balabo ababekhethiwe beqanjwa ngamabizo ukuba badumise uThixo, “ngoba uthando lwakhe lumi kuze kube nininini.”
42 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.
UHemani loJeduthuni babengabokuvuthela amacilongo lokutshaya izigubhu lamanye amachacho ezingoma ezingcwele. Amadodana kaJeduthuni ayehlala esangweni.
43 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe magĩthiĩ o mũndũ gwake mũciĩ, nake Daudi agĩcooka mũciĩ akarathime andũ a nyũmba yake.
Abanye bonke basuka, ngulowo lalowo waqonda emzini wakhe, uDavida wabuyela emzini wakhe ukuyabusisa abendlu yakhe.
