1 Makoronike 16
1 Vakauya neareka yaMwari vakaiisa mukati metende rayakanga yagadzirirwa naDhavhidhi, vakapa zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuwadzana pamberi paMwari.
So they brought the ark of God and placed it inside the tent that David had pitched for it. And they presented burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
2 Dhavhidhi akati apedza kubayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa, akaropafadza vanhu muzita raJehovha.
When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.
3 Ipapo akapa mumwe nomumwe womudzimai nomurume wechiIsraeri rofu rechingwa, keke romuchero womuchindwe nekeke ramazambiringa akaoma.
Then he distributed to every man and woman of Israel a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake.
4 Akagadza vamwe vavaRevhi kuti vashumire pamberi peareka yaJehovha, vakumbirire, vavonge uye kuti varumbidze Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri:
David appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, to celebrate, to give thanks, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel.
5 Asafi ndiye aiva mukuru wavo, Zekaria wechipiri, kuchitevera Jeyeri Shemiramoti, Jehieri, Matitia, Eriabhi, Bhenaya, Obhedhi-Edhomu naJeyeri. Vaizoridza mitengeranwa nembira; Asafi aizoridza makandira
Asaph was the chief, Zechariah was second, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel. They were to play the harps and lyres, while Asaph sounded the cymbals
6 uye Bhenaya naJahazieri vaprista vaizoridza hwamanda nguva dzose pamberi peareka yesungano yaMwari.
and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blew the trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 Zuva iroro Dhavhidhi akapa kwokutanga Asafi navamwe vake pisarema iri rokuvonga Jehovha:
On that day David first committed to Asaph and his brothers this song of thanksgiving to the LORD:
8 Vongai Jehovha, danai kuzita rake; zivisai pakati pendudzi dzose zvaakaita.
“Give thanks to the LORD; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.
9 Muimbirei, muimbirei nziyo dzokurumbidza; taurai zvose zvamabasa ake anoshamisa.
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.
10 Zvirumbidzei muzita rake dzvene; mwoyo yaavo vanotsvaka Jehovha ngaifare.
Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
11 Tarisai kuna Jehovha nokusimba rake; tsvakai chiso chake nguva dzose.
Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
12 Rangarirai zvishamiso zvaakaita, zviratidzo zvake uye nemitongo yaakareva.
Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,
13 Haiwa, imi zvizvarwa zvaIsraeri muranda wake, haiwa imi vanakomana vaJakobho vasanangurwa vake.
O offspring of His servant Israel, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
14 Ndiye Jehovha Mwari wedu; mitongo yake iri munyika yose.
He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.
15 Anorangarira sungano yake nokusingaperi, shoko raakarayira, kwechiuru chezvizvarwa.
Remember His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
16 Sungano yaakaita naAbhurahama, mhiko yaakapika kuna Isaka.
the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.
17 Akasimbisa kuna Jakobho somutemo, kuna Israeri sesungano isingaperi, achiti:
He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
18 “Kwauri ndichapa nyika yeKenani, sechikamu chenhaka yako.”
‘I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.’
19 Pavakanga vari vashoma, vari vashoma kwazvo, vari vatorwa mairi,
When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,
20 vakadzungaira kubva kuno rumwe rudzi kusvika kuno rumwe, kubva kuno humwe umambo kusvika kuno humwe.
they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
21 Haana kutendera munhu kuti avadzvinyirire; nokuda kwavo akatuka madzimambo.
He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
22 “Musabata vazodziwa vangu; musaitira vaprofita vangu zvakaipa.”
‘Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!’
23 Imbirai Jehovha, pasi pose; paridzai ruponeso rwake zuva nezuva.
Sing to the LORD, all the earth. Proclaim His salvation day after day.
24 Zivisai kubwinya kwake pakati pendudzi, mabasa ake anoshamisa pakati pavanhu vose.
Declare His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all peoples.
25 Nokuti Jehovha mukuru uye anofanira kwazvo kurumbidzwa; anofanira kutyiwa pamusoro pavamwari vose.
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
26 Nokuti vamwari vose vendudzi zvifananidzo, asi Jehovha akasika matenga.
For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens.
27 Kubwinya nokukudzwa zviri pamberi pake; simba nomufaro zviri munzvimbo yougaro hwake.
Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy fill His dwelling.
28 Ipai kuna Jehovha, imi mhuri dzendudzi, ipai Jehovha kukudzwa nesimba,
Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
29 ipai Jehovha kukudzwa kunofanira zita rake. Uyai nezvipiriso uye muuye pamberi pake; namatai Jehovha mukubwinya kwoutsvene hwake.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him. Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness;
30 Dederai pamberi pake, imi nyika yose! Nyika yakasimbiswa kwazvo; haingazungunuswi.
tremble before Him, all the earth. The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
31 Matenga ngaafare, nyika ngaifare; ngavati pakati pendudzi, “Jehovha anotonga!”
Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice. Let them say among the nations, ‘The LORD reigns!’
32 Gungwa ngaritinhire nezvose zviri mariri; minda ngaifarisise nezvose zviri mairi.
Let the sea resound, and all that fills it; let the fields exult, and all that is in them.
33 Ipapo miti yesango ichaimba, ichaimba nomufaro pamberi paJehovha, nokuti anouya kuzotonga nyika.
Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for He is coming to judge the earth.
34 Vongai Jehovha nokuti akanaka; rudo rwake runogara nokusingaperi.
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.
35 Danidzirai muchiti, “Tiponesei, imi Mwari Muponesi wedu; tiunganidzei uye mutirwire pandudzi, kuti tigovonga zita renyu dzvene kuti tifarisise mukukurumbidzai.”
Then cry out: ‘Save us, O God of our salvation; gather and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, that we may glory in Your praise.’
36 Rumbidzai Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, kubva pakusingaperi kusvikira pakusingaperi. Ipapo vanhu vose vakati, “Ameni” uye vakarumbidza Jehovha.
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.” Then all the people said, “Amen!” and “Praise the LORD!”
37 Dhavhidhi akasiya Asafi navamwe vake pamberi peareka yesungano yaJehovha kuti ashumirepo nguva dzose maererano nezvaidiwa zuva rimwe nerimwe.
So David left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to minister there regularly according to the daily requirements,
38 Akasiya Obhedhi-Edhomu navamwe vake makumi matanhatu navasere kuti vashumire navo. Obhedhi-Edhomu mwanakomana waJedhutuni naHosa vaiva vatariri vamasuo.
along with Obed-edom and his sixty-eight relatives. Obed-edom son of Jeduthun, and also Hosah, were to be gatekeepers.
39 Dhavhidhi akasiya Zadhoki muprista navamwe vaprista pamberi petabhenakeri yaJehovha panzvimbo yakakwirira muGibheoni
And David left Zadok the priest and his fellow priests before the tabernacle of the LORD at the high place in Gibeon
40 kuti vape zvipiriso zvinopiswa, kuna Jehovha paaritari yezvipiriso zvinopiswa, nguva dzose, mangwanani namanheru maererano nezvose zvakanga zvakanyorwa muMurayiro waJehovha waakanga apa Israeri.
to regularly present burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offerings, morning and evening, according to all that was written in the Law of the LORD, which He had commanded Israel to keep.
41 Pakati pavo paiva naHemani naJedhutuni navamwe vose vaiva vakasarudzwa namazita kuti vavonge Jehovha, “Nokuti rudo rwake runogara nokusingaperi.”
With them were Heman, Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the LORD, for “His loving devotion endures forever.”
42 Hemani naJedhutuni vaiva nebasa rokuridza hwamanda namakandira uye nokuridza zvimwe zviridzwa parwiyo rutsvene. Vanakomana vaJedhutuni vakaitwa vatariri vamasuo.
Heman and Jeduthun had with them trumpets and cymbals for the music and instruments for the songs of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were stationed at the gate.
43 Ipapo vanhu vose vakabvapo, mumwe nomumwe akaenda kumba kwake, uye Dhavhidhi akadzokera kumba kwake kundoropafadza mhuri yake.
Then all the people departed for their homes, and David returned home to bless his household.
