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-offerings 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 out to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.
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 placed before the ark of the Lord several of the Levites as ministers, and to chaunt hymns, and to give praise and thanks unto 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.
Assaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah; Je'iel, and Shemiramoth, and Jechiel, and Matthithyah, and Eliab, and Benayahu, and 'Obed-edom; and Je'iel with psalteries and with harps; but Assaph played aloud with the cymbals.
6 Benaya na Jahaziel, ndị nchụaja, ketara ọrụ ịfụ opi nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke kwamgbe kwamgbe.
And Benayahu and Jachaziel the priests were with the 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:
On that day—then did David appoint for the first time to give thanks to the Lord through means of Assaph 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 on his name; make known among the people his deeds.
9 Bụkuonụ ya abụ, bụkuonụ ya abụ otuto; kwupụtaranụ mba niile ọrụ ebube ya niile.
Sing unto him, sing praises unto him: speak of all his wonderful works.
10 Ṅụrianụ nʼime aha nsọ ya; ka obi ndị niile na-achọ Onyenwe anyị ṅụrịa ọṅụ.
Glorify yourselves in his holy name: let the heart of those rejoice that seek the Lord.
11 Na-achọnụ Onyenwe anyị na ike ya, chọọnụ ihu ya mgbe niile.
Inquire after the Lord and his strength: seek his presence evermore.
12 Chetanụ ọrụ ebube niile nke ọ rụrụ, ihe ịrịbama ya niile na ikpe ziri ezi niile nke si nʼọnụ ya pụta.
Remember his wonderful works which he hath done, his tokens, and the decrees 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 elect.
14 Ya onwe ya bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị; ikpe ya dị nʼụwa niile.
He is the Lord our God: over all the earth are his decrees.
15 Ọ na-echeta ọgbụgba ndụ ya ruo mgbe ebighị ebi; bụ nkwa o kwere nye puku ọgbọ.
Remember ye for ever his covenant, the word which he hath commanded to the thousandth generation.
16 Ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ nke ya na Ebraham gbara, na iyi ọ ṅụrụ nye Aịzik.
Which he covenanted 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 which he established unto Jacob as a statute, unto Israel as 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, as the portion of your inheritance;
19 Mgbe ha dị ole na ole nʼọnụọgụgụ, nʼezie, ole na ole, bụrụkwa ọbịa nʼala ahụ.
When ye were but few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
20 Ha wagharịrị site nʼotu mba gaa mba ọzọ, sitekwa nʼotu alaeze gaa na alaeze ọzọ.
And when they wandered from one nation to another, 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 oppress them; yea, he reproved kings for their sake.
22 “Unu emetụkwala ndị m e tere mmanụ aka, unu emekpakwala ndị amụma m ahụ.”
Saying, “Touch not my anointed, 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 ye lands: announce from day to day his salvation.
24 Kwusaanụ ebube ya nʼetiti mba niile, kọsakwanụ banyere oke ọrụ ya niile nʼetiti ndị niile dị iche iche.
Relate among the nations his glory: among all the people his wonderful deeds.
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 greatly praised; and he 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 people are idols: but the Lord hath made the heavens.
27 Ịma mma na ebube dị nʼihu ya; ike na ọṅụ dị nʼebe obibi ya.
Majesty and honor are in his presence, strength and gladness are in his place.

Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye families of people, ascribe unto the Lord glory and strength.

Ascribe unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; take up an offering, and come into his presence; bow down before 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 ye lands! Also the world standeth firmly, that it be not moved.
31 Ka eluigwe ṅụrịa, ka ụwa nwekwa obi ụtọ; ka ha kwupụta nʼetiti mba niile sị, “Onyenwe anyị na-achị.”
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; and let men 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, with all that filleth it: let the fields rejoice, 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 forest sing joyfully at the presence of the Lord; because he cometh 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; because unto everlasting endureth his kindness.
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 to thy holy name, to glorify ourselves 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 unto everlasting. And all the people said, Amen, and praise unto the Lord.

And he left there in charge before the ark of the covenant of the Lord Assaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, at the work of every day on its 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.

To offer burnt-offerings unto the Lord upon the altar of the burnt-offering continually at morning and at evening, and this in accordance with all that is written in the law of the Lord which he had commanded concerning 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 selected who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the Lord, because unto everlasting endureth his kindness;

And all the people went every man to his house; and David turned about to bless his house.
