1 Hagi Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisia eri'za e'za Deviti'ma seli no kinte'nefinka eme nente'za, tevefima kre fananehu ofane, arimpa fru ofanena Anumzamofontega kre'naze.

They brought the Sacred Chest [to Gibeon] and put it inside the Sacred Tent that David had [told his workers to] set up. Then they brought offerings to be completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to enable them to maintain fellowship [with God].

2 Hagi Deviti'ma tevefima kre fananehu ofane arimpa fru ofanema Kresramanama vuteno'a, Ra Anumzamofo agifi Israeli vahetmina asomu kea huzmante'ne.

When David had finished presenting all those offerings, he [asked Yahweh to] bless the people.

3 Ana nehuno maka Israeli vahetmina mago mago vene a'enena, bretine afu ame'anena nezamino kre hagegema hu'nea bretinena refko huno zami'ne.

He gave a loaf of bread, some dates, and some raisins to every Israeli man and woman [who was there].

4 Ana nehuno mago'a Livae vahetmina Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisire'ma mono eri'zama eri kva vahetami zamazeri o'netino, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamofoma susu hunenteno agima erisgama hu' vahetamina zamazeri oti'ne.

Then David appointed some of the descendants of Levi to stand in front of [the Sacred Tent in which] the Sacred Chest [had been placed], to lead the people who worshiped and thanked and praised Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people.

5 Hagi ana vahetmimofo ugotama huzmante'nea kvazmia Asapu'e. Hagi Asapu amefira Zekaraia'e, hagi Zekaraia amefira Jeieli'ma, Semiramoti'ma, Jehieli'ma, Matitia'ma, Eliapu'ma, Benaia'ma, Obed-Idomu'ma Jeieli'e. E'i ana vahetmimofo eri'zana Hapuema nehaza zavenane, Laierima nehaza zavenane, nase'nasepama ahe vahe mani'naze. Hagi Asapu'a ra ageruma neria nase'nasepama nehea ne' mani'ne.

Asaph, who played the cymbals, was their leader. Zechariah was his assistant. The other descendants of Levi [who helped Asaph] were Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel. They played lyres and harps.

6 Hagi Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisimofo avugama maka zupama ufema nera'a pristi netrena Benaiake Jahazielike mani'na'e.

Benaiah and Jahaziel were priests who blew trumpets frequently in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the Sacred Chest.

7 Hagi anankna zupa Deviti'a Asapune mago'a Livae afuhe'inena Ra Anumzamofoma susuma hunenteno agima erisgama hu zagamera ama'na zagame huntege'za esera agafa hu'za hu'naze.

On that day, David gave to Asaph and his helpers this psalm to praise Yahweh:

8 Ra Anumzamofo susu hunenteta, agi'a aheta knare avu'ava'amofona huama hanunkeno, kokankoka vahe'mo'za antahisaze!

Thank God, and pray to him [MTY]. Tell the people of all nations what he has done.

9 Zgame huta agi'a erisga nehuta, maka ruzahu ruzahu knare avu'ava'ma hu'nea zamofo nanekea huama hanune.

Sing to him; sing songs to praise him. Tell about all his miraculous deeds.

10 Zgame huta ruotge'ma hu'nea agia husga nehanunkeno, zamagu'areti'ma hu'za Ra Anumzamofonku'ma nehakaza vahe'mo'za muse hugahaze.

Be glad that you belong to him [MTY]; those who want to know Yahweh better should rejoice.

11 Ra Anumzamofone hihamuagu'ene nehaketa, Agri avufima kesaza zanku maka zupa hakeho.

Trust in Yahweh and in his power; continually seek to get help from him.

12 Hagi avamezantamine kaguva zantaminema erifore nehuno, fatgo avu'ava'ma huno refkoma nehia zankura maka zupa tamagesa antahiho.

Do not forget the wonderful things that he has done, the miracles and the just laws that he has given to us.

13 Agri eri'za ne' Israeli agehemota Jekopu ne' mofavreramina, Agra'a huhamprinte'nea vahetami mani'naze!

We people are the descendants of his servant Jacob; we are the people of Israel whom he has chosen.

14 Agra Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzane. Agra maka ama mopafi vahe'ene maka zana refko nehie.

Yahweh is our God. His just/fair laws are known by people throughout the world.

15 Hagi huhagerafi huvempa ke'agura tamagera okanita maka zupa tamagesa antahi vava hiho. Tauseni'a zupa kasente kasentema hanigeno fore'ma hunante hunante'ma huno esia vahetminku'ene Agra ana nanekea hu'ne.

He never forgets the agreement that he has made: he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations.

16 Agra Abrahamu'ene huhagerafi huvempage nehuno, Aisaki'ne huvempagea hunteno,

That is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement to Isaac.

17 Israeli vahepina mevava hania kasegea Agra Jekopunte eri kasefa nehuno,

It was an agreement for the Israeli people, and he wanted that agreement to endure forever.

18 amanage huno asami'ne, erisantima haresanazana Kenani mopa kamigahue huno hu'ne.

What he said was, “I will give the Canaan region to you, to belong to you [and your descendants forever].”

19 Kenani mopafima osi'a vahe'ma mani'neta emani vahekna huta mani'neta,

[He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land (like strangers/that belonged to other people);

20 ru kumate ru kumate'ma manita vano nehuta, ru vahepi ru vahepi huta manita vanoa hu'naze.

they continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.

21 Hianagi agra zamatregeno mago vahe'mo'a zamazeri havizana osu'ne. Hagi zamazeri havizama huzankura kini vahetmina hankave naneke zmasamino,

But he did not allow others to oppress them, and he warned kings by saying to them,

22 amanage hu'ne, zamazeri ruotge'ma hu'noa nagamofo zamavufagarera zamavakora osiho. Nagri kasnampa vahera hazenkea ozamiho hu'na hu'noe.

“Do not harm the people whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”

23 Maka mopafi vahe'mota Ra Anumzamofontega zagamera huta tamagu'ma vazi'nea zankura knane knanena agi'a erisga hugahaze.

You people throughout the world, sing to Yahweh. Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved us.

24 Maka mopafi vahetera, hihamu hankave'ane avu'ava'agura huama nehuta, ruzahu ruzahu knare avu'ava'ma hu'nea zankura maka vahera zamasamiho!

Tell the people of the nations that he is great; tell all the people-groups the marvelous things [that he has done].

25 Na'ankure Ra Anumzana marerisa neki, Agrike'za ragia amigahaze. Hagi maka havi anumzantamima mani'nazafina Agrake'zage marerisa Anumzana mani'neankita, Agrike korora hunenteta agoraga'a manigahune.

Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much. He should be revered more than all the gods,

26 Na'ankure maka kumate anumzantamima vahe'mo'za mono'ma hunentaza anumzantamina vahe'mo'za zamazanteti antre'za tro hu'naza anumzantami mani'naze. Hianagi Ra Anumzamo monaramina tro hu'ne.

because all the gods that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only idols, but Yahweh [is truly great; he] created the skies.

27 Hagi Agrira marerisa hentofa konariri masa'amo'a arugagintegeno, hanave'amo'ene masazamo'enena kuma'afina avite'ne.

He is glorious and majestic; his power and joy fill his Sacred Tent.

28 Hagi maka naga nofimota Ra Anumzamofona huama nehinke'za keama hiho. Ra Anumzamofo hihamu masa'agu huama nehinke'za keama hiho.

You people in nations all over the world, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!

29 Ra Anumzamofona keama huta ragia nemita, ofa tamia erita Agri avuga eho. Ra Anumzamofona ruotge hihamu masa'afi monora hunenteta,

Praise Yahweh like he [MTY] deserves to be praised. Bring an offering and come to his Sacred Tent. Worship Yahweh because he is holy.

30 maka mopafi vahe'mota Agri avuga tamahirahikura hiho. Ama mopamo'a hanavetino me'neankino, momira osugahie.

Everyone on the earth should tremble in front of Yahweh. He put the earth firmly [in its place]; and nothing ever will be able to move/shake it.

31 Monamo'a musena nehinkeno, mopamo'enena musena nehu'za amanage hu'za kokankoka vahera zamasmiho. Ra Anumzamo'a Agra'a kinia mani'ne hiho!

Everything in the sky and on the earth should be happy. People [everywhere] should say, “Yahweh is our king!”

32 Hagi hagerimo'a kranto kranto nehi'na, anampima nemaniza maka zagaramimo'za agi'a erisga nehinkeno, hozamo'ene anampima me'nea kavemo'za agi'a erisga hiho.

The oceans and all the creatures that are in the oceans should shout to praise him; the fields and everything that is in them should rejoice.

33 Hagi zafafi zafaramimo'za Ra Anumzamofona muse hunte'za agia erisga hiho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a maka ama mopafi zana keagare avrenteno refko hunaku egahie.

When they do that, [it will be as though] the trees in the forest will sing joyfully in front of Yahweh. That will happen when he comes to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth.

34 Ra Anumzamofo musena huntesune, na'ankure Agra knare ne' mani'neankino, maka zupa avesirante vava nehie.

Thank Yahweh, because [everything that he does is] good. He faithfully loves us forever.

35 Hagi kezatita mago'ene amanage hanune, tagu'ma nevazina Anumzamoka tagrira tagu'vazio. Vahe kokampintira tavre tru hunka tazahugeta susu huneganteta, musena huta ruotge kagika'a erisga huta rankagia kamimneno.

Say to him, “God, you are the one who rescues us, so gather us together and save us from [the armies of] other nations. When you do that, we will thank you [MTY], and we will be happy to praise you.”

36 Manivava Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamofona ragi amisunkeno, ra agia eri vava huno vanie. Anagema hutege'za maka vahe'mo'za tamage hu'za nehu'za, Ra Anumzamofo agi erisga hu'naze.

Praise Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people, He has always existed, and he will exist forever. After the people [finished singing that song], they all said, “(Amen/May it be so)!”, and they praised Yahweh.

37 Ana huteno kasegemo'ma hu'nea kante'ma ante'za Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisimofo avuga magoke magoke knare'ma eri'zama erisagu Deviti'a Asapune mago'a Livae naga'enena zamazeri ante fatgo hu'ne.

Then David left Asaph and the other members of his clan there in front of [the tent in which] Yahweh’s Sacred Chest [had been placed]. He told them that they must do their work there every day.

38 Hagi ana vahepina Jedutuni nemofo Obed-Idomune, 68'a naga'ane Hosanena seli mono no kafante'ma kegavama hu vahetami zamazeri oti'ne.

David also left Obed-Edom and 68 other descendants of Levi to work with them. Hosah and Obed-Edom guarded [the entrances of the Sacred Tent].

39 Hagi ugota pristi ne' Zadokine afu'aganahe'ina Gibioni kumate Ra Anumzamofo mono'ma hunentazare seli mono nonte'ma kegavama hu vahera zamazeri oti'ne.

David also told Zadok the [Supreme] Priest and the other priests who worked with him to remain in front of Yahweh’s Sacred Tent, which was still at the place where the Israeli people worshiped [God there] in Gibeon [city].

40 Hagi ana naga'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo kasegemo'ma hu'nea kante ante'za kinagane nanterananena Kresramanama vu itarera Ra Anumzamofontega Kresramana vutere hugahaze.

Every morning and every evening they burned offerings on the altar, obeying the rules/laws that had been written [by Moses], rules/laws which Yahweh had given to the Israeli people.

41 Hagi ana nagapina Hemanine, Jedutune mago'a zamagima kreno zamazeri oti'nea nagara Ra Anumzamo'ma maka zupama avesizmante vavama nehia zanku'ma humuse hunente'za zagame'ma hu'za agi'ma erisga hu vahetami zamazeri oti'ne.

With them were Heman and Jeduthun and other descendants of Levi. They [MTY] were chosen to sing songs to praise Yahweh because he faithfully loves his people forever.

42 Hagi Hemani'ene Jedutunikea ufene, nasenasepane, zavenaramine mago'a zavenama ahe'za Anumzamofoma agima erisgama nehaza zavena kegava hu'na'e. Hagi Jedutuni amohe'ina kuma kafante'ma kegavahu vahetami zamazeri oti'ne.

Heman and Jeduthun were appointed to play the trumpets and cymbals when [the other descendants of Levi sang sacred songs]. The sons of Jeduthun were appointed to guard the gates [of the Sacred Tent].

43 Hagi ana maka zama vagaregeno'a, maka vahe'mo'za nozmirega vu'za e'za hazageno, Deviti'a agra'a naga'amofo asomu ke ome huzmante'naku noma'arega vu'ne.

Then all the people left. They returned to their homes, and David returned home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family.
