1 Ha bubatara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke ahụ guzobe ya nʼime ụlọ ikwu nke Devid manyere maka ya. Ha chekwara aja nsure ọkụ na aja udo nʼihu Chineke.
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.
2 Mgbe Devid chụsịrị aja nsure ọkụ na aja udo ndị a, ọ gọziri ndị Izrel nʼaha Onyenwe anyị.
When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the LORD’s name.
3 O nyekwara onye ọbụla nʼIzrel, ma nwoke ma nwanyị, otu ogbe achịcha, ọkpụrụkpụ anụ na achịcha mkpụrụ osisi a mịkpọrọ amịkpọ.
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.
4 Ọ họpụtara ụfọdụ ndị Livayị ka ha nọdụ nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ inye Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel ekele na otuto na ịrịọ ya ngọzị nʼisi ndị ya Izrel. Ndị a bụ ndị o nyere ije ozi a:
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:
5 Asaf bụ onyeisi ndị a. Ndị ọzọ bụ Zekaraya, Jeiel, Shemiramot, Jehiel, Matitaia, Eliab, Benaya, Obed-Edọm na Jeiel. Ọrụ ha bụ ịkpọ ụbọ akwara, na une, ma ọrụ Asaf bụ onye na-akụ ogene ọla na-ada ụda.
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;
6 Benaya na Jahaziel, ndị nchụaja, ketara ọrụ ịfụ opi nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke kwamgbe kwamgbe.
with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 Nʼụbọchị ahụ ka Devid buru ụzọ họpụta Asaf na ndị otu ya ka ha nye Onyenwe anyị otuto nʼusoro dị otu a:
Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to the LORD by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
8 Nyenụ Onyenwe anyị otuto, kwupụtakwa aha ya, meenụ ka amata nʼetiti mba niile banyere ihe niile ọ rụrụ.
Oh give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples.
9 Bụkuonụ ya abụ, bụkuonụ ya abụ otuto; kwupụtaranụ mba niile ọrụ ebube ya niile.
Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.

12 Chetanụ ọrụ ebube niile nke ọ rụrụ, ihe ịrịbama ya niile na ikpe ziri ezi niile nke si nʼọnụ ya pụta.
Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
13 Unu, ụmụ Izrel, bụ ohu ya ụmụ Jekọb, ndị ọ họpụtara.
you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 Ya onwe ya bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị; ikpe ya dị nʼụwa niile.
He is the LORD our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
15 Ọ na-echeta ọgbụgba ndụ ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi; bụ nkwa o kwere nye puku ọgbọ.
Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
17 O mere ka o guzoro nye Jekọb dịka ụkpụrụ, ma nʼebe Izrel nọ dịka ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi:
He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 Sị, “Aga m enye gị ala Kenan ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa gị.”
saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”
19 Mgbe ha dị ole na ole nʼọnụọgụgụ, nʼezie, ole na ole, bụrụkwa ọbịa nʼala ahụ.
when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
20 Ha wagharịrị site nʼotu mba gaa mba ọzọ, sitekwa nʼotu alaeze gaa na alaeze ọzọ.
They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
21 O kweghị ka onye ọbụla mekpaa ha ahụ; ọ baara ndị eze mba nʼihi ha, sị:
He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
22 “Unu emetụkwala ndị m e tere mmanụ aka, unu emekpakwala ndị amụma m ahụ.”
“Do not touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
23 Bụkuonụ Onyenwe anyị abụ, unu ụwa niile; kwupụtanụ nzọpụta ya site nʼotu ụbọchị ruo nʼụbọchị nke ọzọ.
Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.
24 Kwusaanụ ebube ya nʼetiti mba niile, kọsakwanụ banyere oke ọrụ ya niile nʼetiti ndị niile dị iche iche.
Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.

For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.
26 Nʼihi na chi niile nke mba niile dị iche iche bụ arụsị efu, maọbụ Onyenwe anyị kere eluigwe niile.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
27 Ịma mma na ebube dị nʼihu ya; ike na ọṅụ dị nʼebe obibi ya.
Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
28 Nyenụ Onyenwe anyị, unu ezinaụlọ nke mba niile dị iche iche, nyenụ Onyenwe anyị nsọpụrụ na ike.
Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
29 E, nyenụ Onyenwe anyị nsọpụrụ ruuru aha ya, werenụ onyinye bịa nʼihu ya. Kpọọnụ isiala nye Onyenwe anyị nʼịma mma nke ịdị nsọ ya.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship the LORD in holy array.
30 Maa jijiji nʼihu ya, unu ụwa niile. Elu ụwa niile kwụ chịm, a pụghị iwezuga ya nʼọnọdụ ya.
Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it cannot be moved.
31 Ka eluigwe ṅụrịa, ka ụwa nwekwa obi ụtọ; ka ha kwupụta nʼetiti mba niile sị, “Onyenwe anyị na-achị.”
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!”
32 Ka osimiri bigbọọ, na ihe niile dị nʼime ya, ka ala ubi niile na ihe niile dị nʼime ha jupụta nʼobi ụtọ.
Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
33 Ka osisi niile nke oke ọhịa bụọ abụ, ka ha bụọ abụ ọṅụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na ọ na-abịa ikpe ụwa ikpe.
Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.
34 Keleenụ Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na ọ dị mma, nʼihi na ịhụnanya ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
35 Tikuonụ ya mkpu sị, “Zọpụta anyị, gị Chineke, Onye nzọpụta anyị; chịkọta anyị, ma napụtakwa anyị site nʼaka mba dị iche iche, ka anyị nwee ike nye aha nsọ gị ekele; ma nyaakwa isi nʼime otuto gị.”
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.”
36 Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel, site nʼebighị ebi ruo ebighị ebi. Mgbe ahụ, mmadụ niile sịrị, “Amen” na “Toonu Onyenwe anyị.”
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD.
37 Devid hapụrụ Asaf na ndị Livayị ibe ya nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ ụbọchị niile ije ozi mgbe niile, dịka ọrụ ụbọchị ọbụla si dị.
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;
38 Obed-Edọm nwa Jedutun so nʼime ha, ya na Hosa, na iri mmadụ isii na asatọ ọzọ. Obed-Edọm nwa Jedutun na Hosa bụ ndị na-eche ọnụ ụzọ.
and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
39 Devid nyefekwara Zadọk, onye nchụaja, na ndị nchụaja ibe ya, ọrụ ịnọ nʼihu ụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị, nʼebe dị elu nke Gibiọn.
and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before the LORD’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,
40 Nʼihi ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ mgbe niile nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị, ụtụtụ na anyasị niile nʼusoro dịka e si dee ya nʼakwụkwọ iwu Onyenwe anyị, nke o nyere ndị Izrel.
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;
41 Devid họpụtakwara Heman, na Jedutun, na ndị ọzọ a kpọrọ aha họpụta inye Onyenwe anyị ekele, “nʼihi ịhụnanya ya na obi ebere ya nke na-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
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;
42 Heman na Jedutun bụ ndị ọ dịịrị ịfụ opi, na ịkụ ogene ọla, na ihe egwu ndị ọzọ eji na-enye Chineke otuto. Ụmụ ndị ikom Jedutun bụ ndị nọ nche nʼọnụ ụzọ ama.
and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets 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.
43 Mgbe mmemme ahụ gwụsịrị, onye ọbụla lara nʼụlọ ya. Devid lakwara ịgọzi ezinaụlọ ya.
All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
