Once David had finished presenting the burnt offerings and friendship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.

Asaph was the one in charge, Zechariah was second, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel. They played harps and lyres, and Asaph struck the cymbals,

7 Nʼụbọchị ahụ ka Devid buru ụzọ họpụta Asaf na ndị otu ya ka ha nye Onyenwe anyị otuto nʼusoro dị otu a:
This was the day that David first instructed Asaph and his relatives to express thanks to the Lord in this way:
8 Nyenụ Onyenwe anyị otuto, kwupụtakwa aha ya, meenụ ka amata nʼetiti mba niile banyere ihe niile ọ rụrụ.
Give the Lord thanks, worship his wonderful nature, let people know what he's done!

14 Ya onwe ya bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị; ikpe ya dị nʼụwa niile.
He is the Lord, our God, his judgments cover the whole earth.

He remembers his agreement forever, the promise he made lasts for a thousand generations;

the agreement he made with Abraham, the vow he gave to Isaac.
17 O mere ka o guzoro nye Jekọb dịka ụkpụrụ, ma nʼebe Izrel nọ dịka ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi:
The Lord legally confirmed it with Jacob, he made this everlasting agreement with Israel:
18 Sị, “Aga m enye gị ala Kenan ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa gị.”
saying, “I will give the land of Canaan to you for you to possess.”
19 Mgbe ha dị ole na ole nʼọnụọgụgụ, nʼezie, ole na ole, bụrụkwa ọbịa nʼala ahụ.
He said this when there were only a few of you, just a small group of foreigners in the land.
20 Ha wagharịrị site nʼotu mba gaa mba ọzọ, sitekwa nʼotu alaeze gaa na alaeze ọzọ.
They wandered from country to country, from one kingdom to the next.
21 O kweghị ka onye ọbụla mekpaa ha ahụ; ọ baara ndị eze mba nʼihi ha, sị:
He didn't let anyone one treat them badly; warning kings to leave them alone:
22 “Unu emetụkwala ndị m e tere mmanụ aka, unu emekpakwala ndị amụma m ahụ.”
“Don't touch my chosen people; don't harm my prophets!”
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, sing to the Lord! Each day let everyone know of his salvation!
24 Kwusaanụ ebube ya nʼetiti mba niile, kọsakwanụ banyere oke ọrụ ya niile nʼetiti ndị niile dị iche iche.

For the Lord is great, and deserves the best praise! He is to be respected with awe 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 other nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens!
27 Ịma mma na ebube dị nʼihu ya; ike na ọṅụ dị nʼebe obibi ya.
Splendor and majesty are his; power and glory are in his sanctuary.
28 Nyenụ Onyenwe anyị, unu ezinaụlọ nke mba niile dị iche iche, nyenụ Onyenwe anyị nsọpụrụ na ike.
Give the Lord credit, nations of the world, credit him with glory and strength.

Let everyone on earth tremble in his presence. The world is held together firmly—it cannot be broken apart.

Let the heavens sing for joy, let the earth be happy. Tell the nations, “The Lord is in charge!”

Let the sea and everything in it shout with praise! Let the fields and everything there celebrate;

Let all the trees in the forest sing for joy, for he is coming to judge the earth.

Say thank you to the Lord, for he is good! His trustworthy love continues forever!

Shout out, “Save us, Lord, our God! Bring us back together from among the nations, rescue us, so we can thank you and praise how magnificent and holy you are.”
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.”
How wonderful is the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives forever and ever! Then all the people said, “Amen!” and “Praise the Lord!”

Then David made sure Asaph and his brothers would minister continually before the Ark of the Lord's Agreement, performing whatever services were needed every day,
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.

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.”
They were accompanied by Heman, Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen and identified by name to give thanks to the Lord, for “His trustworthy love lasts 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.
Heman and Jeduthun used their trumpets and cymbals to make music to accompany the songs of God. The sons of Jeduthun guarded the gate.
43 Mgbe mmemme ahụ gwụsịrị, onye ọbụla lara nʼụlọ ya. Devid lakwara ịgọzi ezinaụlọ ya.
Then all the people went home, and David went to bless his family.
