1 Nyakati 16
1 Wakaleta ndani Sanduku la Mungu na kuweka katika ya hema ambalo Daudi aliandaa. Kisha wakatoa sadaka ya kuteketeza na sadaka ya ushirika mbele ya Mungu.
So they brought in the Arke of God, and set it in the middes of the Tabernacle that Dauid had pitched for it, and they offred burnt offrings and peace offrings before God.
2 Daudi alipo maliza kutoa dhabiu ya kuteketeza na sadaka za ushirika, aliwabariki watu kwa jina la Yahweh.
And when Dauid had made an ende of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, hee blessed the people in the Name of the Lord.
3 Alisambaza kwa kila Misraeli, mwanaume na mwanamke, kipande cha mkate, na kipande cha nyama, na keki ya mzabibu.
And he dealt to euery one of Israel both man and woman, to euery one a cake of breade, and a piece of flesh, and a bottel of wine.
4 Daudi aliewapangia baadhi ya Walawi kutumika mbele ya sanduku la Yahweh, na kusheherekea, kushukuru na kumsifu Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli.
And he appointed certaine of the Leuites to minister before the Arke of the Lord, and to rehearse and to thanke and prayse the Lord God of Israel:
5 Hawa Walawi walikuwa Asafu kiongozi, wa pili kutoka kwake Zekaria, Yeieli, Shemiramothi, Yehieli, Matithia, Eliabu, Benaia, Obedi Edomu, na Yeieli. Hawa walikuwa wacheze na vyombo vya uzi na vinubi. Asafu alikuwa apige upatu, kwa kelele.
Asaph the chiefe, and next to him Zechariah, Ieiel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed Edom, euen Ieiel with instruments, violes and harpes, and Asaph to make a sound with cymbales,
6 Benaia na Yahazieli walikuwa wakupiga tarumbeta kila mara, mbele sanduku la agano la Mungu.
And Benaiah and Iahaziel Priestes, with trumpets continually before the Arke of the couenant of God.
7 Kisha katika hiyo siku Daudi akawachagua Asafu na kaka zake kuimba hii nyimbo ya shukurani kwa Yahweh.
Then at that time Dauid did appoint at the beginning to giue thankes to the Lord by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
8 Mpeni shukurani Yahweh, liitieni jina lake; fahamisheni mataifa matendo yake.
Praise the Lord and call vpon his Name: declare his workes among the people.
9 Mwiimbieni, imbeni sifa kwake; semeni matendo yake ya ajabu.
Sing vnto him, sing praise vnto him, and talke of all his wonderfull workes.
10 Jisifuni katika jina lake takatifu; mioyo ya wanao mtafuta Yahweh ishangilie.
Reioyce in his holy Name: let the hearts of them that seeke the Lord reioyce.
11 Mtafute Yahweh na nguvu zake; tafuteni uwepo wake siku zote.
Seeke the Lord and his strength: seeke his face continually.
12 Kumbukeni matendo aliyo ya fanya kwenu, miujiza yake na amri za kinywa chake,
Remember his marueilous workes that he hath done, his wonders, and the iudgements of his mouth,
13 enyi uzao wa Israeli mtumishi wake, enyi watu wa Yakobo, wateule wake.
O seede of Israel his seruant, O the children of Iaakob his chosen.
14 Yeye ni Yahweh, Mungu wetu. Amri zake zipo duniani kote.
He is the Lord our God: his iudgements are throughout all the earth.
15 Tunzeni agano lake akilini mwenu milele, neno alilo liamuru kwa vizazi elfu moja.
Remember his couenant for euer, and the worde, which hee commanded to a thousand generations:
16 Anakumbuka agano alilo lifanya na Ibrahimu, na nadhiri yake kwake Isaka.
Which he made with Abraham, and his othe to Izhak:
17 Hili ndilo alilo lithibitisha kwa Yakobo kama amri maalumu, na kwa Israeli kama agano la milele.
And hath confirmed it to Iaakob for a Law, and to Israel for an euerlasting couenant,
18 Alisema, “Nitakupa nchi ya Kanani kama sehemu ya urithi wako.”
Saying, To thee will I giue the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.
19 Nilisema hili mlipo kuwa wachache kwa idadi, wachache sana, mlipo kuwa wageni katika nchi.
When ye were fewe in number, yea, a very fewe, and strangers therein,
20 Walienda taifa hadi taifa, kutoka ufalme mmoja hadi mwingine.
And walked about from nation to nation, and from one kingdome to another people,
21 Hakuwaruhusu yeyote awatese; aliwahadhibu wafalme kwa ajili yao.
He suffered no man to do them wrong, but rebuked Kings for their sakes, saying,
22 Alisema, “Msiwaguse wapakwa mafuta wangu, na msiwadhuru manabii wangu.”
Touch not mine anoynted, and doe my Prophets no harme.
23 Imbeni kwa Yahweh, dunia yote; tangazeni wokovu wake siku hadi siku.
Sing vnto the Lord all the earth: declare his saluation from day to day.
24 Kirini utukufu wake kwa mataifa, matendo yake makuu kwa mataifa yote.
Declare his glory among the nations, and his wonderful workes among all people.
25 Kwa kuwa Yahweh ni mkuu na ni wakusifiwa sana, na ni wakuogopewa kuliko miungu yote.
For the Lord is great and much to be praised, and hee is to bee feared aboue all gods.
26 Kwa kuwa miungu ya mataifa ni sanamu, lakini ni Yahweh aliye umba mbingu.
For all the gods of the people are idoles, but the Lord made the heauens.
27 Uzuri wa ajabu na utukufu upo uweponi mwake. Uwezo na furaha upo kwake.
Prayse and glory are before him: power and beautie are in his place.
28 Mpeni sifa Yahweh, enyi koo za watu, mpeni sifa Yahweh utukufu na uwezo;
Giue vnto the Lord, ye families of the people: giue vnto the Lord glory and power.
29 Mpeni Yahweh utukufu upasao jina lake. Leta sadaka na mje kwake. Muinamieni Yahweh katika utakatifu wa uzuri wake.
Giue vnto the Lord ye glory of his Name: bring an offring and come before him, and worship the Lord in the glorious Sanctuarie.
30 Mtetemeke mbele zake, dunia yote. Dunia imeimarishwa; haiwezi kutikisika.
Tremble ye before him, al the earth: surely the world shalbe stable and not moue.
31 Mbingu nazo ziwe nafuraha, na dunia ifurahi; na wasema kwa mataifa yote, “Yahweh anatawala.”
Let the heauens reioyce, and let the earth be glad, and let them say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.
32 Bahari na ingurume, na inayo ijaza ipige kelele kwa furaha. Mashamba yawe na furaha tele, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake.
Let the sea roare, and all that therein is: Let the field be ioyfull and all that is in it.
33 Na miti iliyopo misituni ipige kelele kwa Yahweh, kwa kuwa anakuja kuhukumu dunia.
Let the trees of the wood then reioyce at the presence of the Lord: for he commeth to iudge the earth.
34 Toeni shukurani kwa Yahweh, kwa kuwa ni mwema, uaminifu wa agano lake la dumu ata milele.
Prayse the Lord, for hee is good, for his mercie endureth for euer.
35 Kisha sema, “Tuokoe, Mungu wa wokovu wetu. Tukusanye pamoja na utuokoe kutoka kwa mataifa mengine, ilikwamba tutoe shukurani kwa jina lako takatifu na tufurahi katika sifa zako.”
And say ye, Saue vs, O God, our saluation, and gather vs, and deliuer vs from the heathen, that we may prayse thine holy Name, and glorie in thy praise.
36 Na Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli, asifiwe kutoka milele na milele. Watu wote wakasema, “Amina” na wakamsifu Yahweh.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for euer and euer: and let all people say, So be it, and praise the Lord.
37 Hivyo Daudi akamwacha Asafu na kaka zake pale mbele ya sanduku la Yahweh, kutumika daima mbele ya sanduku, kama kazi za kila siku zilivyo itaji. Obedi Edomu pamoja na ndugu sitini na nane walijumuishwa.
Then he left there before the Arke of the Lordes couenant Asaph and his brethren to minister continually before the Arke, that which was to be done euery day:
38 Obedi Edomu mwana wa Yeduthuni, pamoja na Hosa, walikuwa wawe walinzi wa lango.
And Obed Edom and his brethren, three score and eight: and Obed Edom the sonne of Ieduthun, and Hosah were porters.
39 Zadoki kuhani na makuhani wenzake walikuwa watumike mbele ya hema la Yahweh katika mahali pa juu huko Gibeoni.
And Zadok the Priest and his brethren the Priestes were before the Tabernacle of ye Lord, in the hie place that was at Gibeon,
40 Walikuwa watoe sadaka za kuteketeza kwa Yahweh kwenye madhabahu ya sadaka za kuteketeza daima asubui na jioni, kwa mujibu wa yote yalio andikwa katika amri za Yahweh, aliyo wapa Waisraeli kama sheria.
To offer burnt offrings vnto the Lord, vpon the burnt offring altar continually, in the morning and in the euening, euen according vnto all that is written in the law of the Lord, which hee commanded Israel.
41 Hemani na Yeduthuni walikuwa nao, pamoja na walio chaguliwa kwa jina, kumpa shukurani Yahweh, kwasababu uaminifu wa agano lake la dumu ata milele
And with them were Heman, and Ieduthun, and the rest that were chosen (which were appointed by names) to praise the Lord, because his mercie endureth for euer.
42 Hemani na Yeduthuni walikuwa viongozi wa wao waliopiga tarumbeta, upatu, na vyombo vingine kwa muziki wa kumuabudu Mungu. Wana wa Yeduthuni walilinda lango.
Euen with them were Heman and Ioduthun, to make a sound with the cornets and with the cymbales, with excellent instruments of musicke: and the sonnes of Ieduthun were at the gate.
43 Kisha watu wote walirudi nyumbani, na Daudi akarudi kubariki nyumba yake.
And all the people departed, euerie man to his house: and Dauid returned to blesse his house.
