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.
And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst 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.
And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.
3 O nyekwara onye ọbụla nʼIzrel, ma nwoke ma nwanyị, otu ogbe achịcha, ọkpụrụkpụ anụ na achịcha mkpụrụ osisi a mịkpọrọ amịkpọ.
And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a cake made in a pan, and a sweet cake.
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:
And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to celebrate and to thank and 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, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, with psalteries 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.
and 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 did David first ordain to give thanks unto the LORD, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
8 Nyenụ Onyenwe anyị otuto, kwupụtakwa aha ya, meenụ ka amata nʼetiti mba niile banyere ihe niile ọ rụrụ.
O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.
9 Bụkuonụ ya abụ, bụkuonụ ya abụ otuto; kwupụtaranụ mba niile ọrụ ebube ya niile.
Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works.
10 Ṅụrianụ nʼime aha nsọ ya; ka obi ndị niile na-achọ Onyenwe anyị ṅụrịa ọṅụ.
Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
11 Na-achọnụ Onyenwe anyị na ike ya, chọọnụ ihu ya mgbe niile.
Seek ye the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually.
12 Chetanụ ọrụ ebube niile nke ọ rụrụ, ihe ịrịbama ya niile na ikpe ziri ezi niile nke si nʼọnụ ya pụta.
Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;
13 Unu, ụmụ Izrel, bụ ohu ya ụmụ Jekọb, ndị ọ họpụtara.
O ye seed of Israel His servant, ye 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 for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations;
16 Ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ nke ya na Ebraham gbara, na iyi ọ ṅụrụ nye Aịzik.
The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac;
17 O mere ka o guzoro nye Jekọb dịka ụkpụrụ, ma nʼebe Izrel nọ dịka ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi:
And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
18 Sị, “Aga m enye gị ala Kenan ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa gị.”
Saying: 'Unto thee will I give 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 ye were but a few men in number, yea, very few, and sojourners in it,
20 Ha wagharịrị site nʼotu mba gaa mba ọzọ, sitekwa nʼotu alaeze gaa na alaeze ọzọ.
And when they went about from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people,
21 O kweghị ka onye ọbụla mekpaa ha ahụ; ọ baara ndị eze mba nʼihi ha, sị:
He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings:
22 “Unu emetụkwala ndị m e tere mmanụ aka, unu emekpakwala ndị amụma m ahụ.”
'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.'
23 Bụkuonụ Onyenwe anyị abụ, unu ụwa niile; kwupụtanụ nzọpụta ya site nʼotu ụbọchị ruo nʼụbọchị nke ọzọ.
Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; proclaim 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, His marvellous works among all the peoples.
25 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị dị ukwuu, ọ bụkwa onye kachasị ka e nye otuto. Onye a na-atụ egwu karịa chi ọzọ niile ka ọ bụkwa.
For great is the LORD, and highly 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 things of nought; but the LORD made the heavens.
27 Ịma mma na ebube dị nʼihu ya; ike na ọṅụ dị nʼebe obibi ya.
Honour 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 unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto 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 unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come before Him; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
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; and let them say among the nations: 'The LORD reigneth.'
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 the fulness thereof; let the field exult, and all that is therein;
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 shall the trees of the wood sing for joy, before the LORD, for He is come to judge the earth.
34 Keleenụ Onyenwe anyị, nʼihi na ọ dị mma, nʼihi na ịhụnanya ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.
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.”
And say ye: 'Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, that we may triumph in Thy 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. And all the people said: 'Amen,' and praised the LORD.

So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, Asaph and his brethren, 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 brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jedithun and Hosah to be door-keepers;

and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,

to offer burnt-offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of burnt-offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the Law of the LORD, which He commanded unto 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 that were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because His mercy endureth for ever;
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, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals, 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.
And all the people departed every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
