1 Ebyomumirembe 16
1 Awo ne baleeta essanduuko ya Mukama, ne bagiyingiza mu weema Dawudi gye yali agisimbidde, ne bawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe eri Katonda.
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 Awo Dawudi bwe yamala okuwaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, n’asabira abantu omukisa mu linnya lya Mukama,
When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the LORD’s name.
3 era n’agabira buli Muyisirayiri omusajja n’omukazi, omugaati n’ekitole eky’ezabbibu enkalu, n’ekiyungula ky’ennyama.
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 Yalonda abamu ku Baleevi okuweerezanga mu maaso g’essanduuko ya Mukama, okukoowoola nga basaba, nga beebaza, era nga batendereza Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri.
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 Asafu ye yali omukulu waabwe, Zekkaliya n’amuddirira, Yeyeeri n’addako, n’oluvannyuma Semiramosi, ne Yekyeri, ne Mattisiya, ne Eriyaabu, ne Benaya, ne Obededomu, ne Yeyeri, abookukuba entongooli n’ennanga, Asafu ye ng’akuba ebitaasa.
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 ne Yakaziyeeri bakabona be baafuuwanga amakondeere bulijjo mu maaso g’essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Katonda.
with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with shofars continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 Awo ku lunaku olwo, Dawudi n’alagira Asafu n’abantu be yakolanga nabo, basooke okwebaza Mukama nga bagamba nti:
Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to the LORD by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
8 Mwebaze Mukama, mukoowoole erinnya lye, mumanyise ebikolwa bye mu mawanga.
Oh give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make what he has done known amongst the peoples.
9 Mumuyimbire, muyimbe okumutendereza mwogere ku byamagero bye byonna.
Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvellous works.
10 Erinnya lye ligulumizibwe, n’emitima gy’abo abanoonya Mukama gisanyuke.
Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
11 Mutunuulire Mukama n’amaanyi ge; munoonye amaaso ge ennaku zonna.
Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
12 Mujjukire ebyewuunyo by’akoze, n’ebyamagero bye, n’ensala ye ey’emisango gy’alangirira,
Remember his marvellous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth,
13 mmwe abazzukulu ba Isirayiri, abaweereza be, mmwe abaana ba Yakobo, abalonde be.
you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 Ye Mukama Katonda waffe; okusalawo kwe okw’emisango kubuna ensi yonna.
He is the LORD our God. His judgements are in all the earth.
15 Ajjukira endagaano ye emirembe gyonna, n’ekigambo kye yalagira, okutuusa ku mirembe olukumi,
Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
16 gye yakola ne Ibulayimu, era n’agirayiza Isaaka.
the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
17 N’aginyweza ng’etteeka eri Yakobo, n’eri Isirayiri ng’endagaano ey’olubeerera,
He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 ng’agamba nti, “Ndikuwa ensi ya Kanani, ng’omugabo, ogw’obusika bwo.”
saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”
19 Omuwendo gwabwe bwe gwali omutono, era omutono ddala, nga batambuze mu yo,
when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
20 baatambulatambulanga okuva mu nsi emu okudda mu ndala, n’okuva mu bwakabaka obumu okudda mu bantu abalala.
They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
21 Teyaganya muntu n’omu kubanyigiriza; weewaawo, yanenya bakabaka ku lwabwe:
He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
22 ng’agamba nti, “Temukwatanga ku abo be nnafukako amafuta, so bannabbi bange temubakolanga akabi.”
“Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
23 Muyimbire Mukama, mmwe ensi zonna; mulangirire obulokozi bwe buli lunaku.
Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.
24 Mubuulire ekitiibwa kye mu mawanga, n’ebikolwa bye ebyamagero mu bantu bonna.
Declare his glory amongst the nations, and his marvellous works amongst all the peoples.
25 Mukama mukulu era asaanira okutenderezebwa; era atiibwenga okusinga bakatonda abalala bonna.
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.
26 Bakatonda bonna abamawanga bifaananyi, naye Mukama ye yakola eggulu.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
27 Ekitiibwa n’obukulu biri mu maaso ge, amaanyi n’essanyu biri wamu naye.
Honour and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
28 Mugulumize Mukama, mmwe ebika eby’amawanga byonna, mutende ekitiibwa kya Mukama awamu n’amaanyi ge.
Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
29 Muyimusize Mukama ekitiibwa ekigwanira erinnya lye; muleete ekiweebwayo, mujje mu maaso ge; musinze Mukama mu kitiibwa ky’obutukuvu bwe.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship the LORD in holy array.
30 Mukankane mu maaso ge ensi yonna, weewaawo ensi nywevu, teyinza kusesetulwa.
Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.
31 Eggulu lisanyuke, n’ensi ejaguze; boogere mu mawanga nti, “Mukama afuga!”
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say amongst the nations, “The LORD reigns!”
32 Ennyanja ewuume, n’ebigirimu byonna, n’ennimiro zijaguze, n’okujjula kwazo!
Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
33 Awo emiti egy’omu kibira ginaayimba, ginaayimbira Mukama n’essanyu, kubanga akomawo okusalira ensi omusango.
Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.
34 Weebaze Mukama kubanga mulungi; era okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
35 Mwogerere waggulu nti, “Tulokole, Ayi Katonda ow’obulokozi bwaffe; tukuŋŋaanye, otulokole eri amawanga, twebaze erinnya lyo ettukuvu, era tujagulize mu ttendo lyo.”
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 Mukama yeebazibwe, Katonda wa Isirayiri ow’emirembe n’emirembe. Abantu bonna ne baddamu nti, “Amiina, Mukama yeebazibwe.”
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD.
37 Awo Dawudi n’aleka Asafu n’ababeezi be, okuweereza Mukama mu maaso g’essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama, nga bwe kyagwaniranga buli lunaku.
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 Obededomu n’ababeezi be enkaaga mu omunaana nabo yabaleka baweereze eyo. Obededomu mutabani wa Yedusuni, era ne Kosa be baali abaggazi.
and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
39 Dawudi yaleka Zadooki, kabona ne bakabona banne mu maaso g’eweema ya Mukama mu kifo ekigulumivu e Gibyoni
and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before the LORD’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,
40 okuwangayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama ku kyoto eky’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, buli nkya na buli kawungeezi, nga byonna bwe byawandiikibwa mu mateeka ga Mukama, ge yawa Isirayiri.
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 Kemani ne Yedusuni n’abalala abaalondebwa ne bayitibwa amannya gaabwe okwebaza Mukama, “kubanga okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna,” baali wamu nabo.
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 Era Kemani ne Yedusuni baavunaanyizibwanga okufuuwa amakondeere, n’okukuba ebitaasa, n’okukubira ebivuga ebirala ku luyimba lwa Katonda. Batabani ba Yedusuni baabeeranga ku wankaaki.
and with them Heman and Jeduthun with shofars 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 Awo abantu bonna ne baddayo ewaabwe, ne Dawudi n’addayo okusabira ennyumba ye omukisa.
All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
