1 Chronicles 16
1 Wọ́n gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run, wá sínú àgọ́ ti Dafidi ti pèsè fún un, wọ́n sì gbé ẹbọ sísun àti ọrẹ ìdàpọ̀ kalẹ̀ níwájú Ọlọ́run.
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 Lẹ́yìn tí Dafidi parí ẹbọ sísun àti ọrẹ ìdàpọ̀, ó bùkún àwọn ènìyàn ní orúkọ Olúwa.
When David had finished presenting all those offerings, he [asked Yahweh to] bless the people.
3 Nígbà náà ó fún olúkúlùkù ọkùnrin àti obìnrin ọmọ Israẹli ní ìṣù àkàrà kan, àkàrà dídùn ti àkókò kan àti àkàrà dídùn ti èso àjàrà kan.
He gave a loaf of bread, some dates, and some raisins to every Israeli man and woman [who was there].
4 Ó yan díẹ̀ lára àwọn ará Lefi láti máa jọ́sìn níwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa, àti láti ṣe ìrántí àti dúpẹ́ àti láti yin Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
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 Asafu ni olóyè, àtẹ̀lé rẹ ni Sekariah, Jehieli, Ṣemiramotu, Asieli, Mattitiah, Eliabu, Benaiah, Obedi-Edomu àti Jeieli, àwọn ni yóò lu ohun èlò orin olókùn àti dùùrù haapu. Asafu ni yóò lu símbálì kíkan.
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 Àti Benaiah àti Jahasieli àwọn àlùfáà ni yóò fọn ìpè nígbà gbogbo níwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí májẹ̀mú ti Ọlọ́run.
Benaiah and Jahaziel were priests who blew trumpets frequently in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the Sacred Chest.
7 Ní ọjọ́ náà Dafidi kọ́kọ́ fi lé Asafu àti àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ orin Dafidi ti ọpẹ́ sí Olúwa.
On that day, David gave to Asaph and his helpers this psalm to praise Yahweh:
8 Ẹ fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa, ẹ pe orúkọ rẹ̀, ẹ fi iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ hàn nínú àwọn ènìyàn fún ohun tí ó ṣe
Thank God, and pray to him [MTY]. Tell the people of all nations what he has done.
9 Ẹ kọrin sí i, ẹ kọrin ìyìn, sí i, ẹ sọ ti gbogbo iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀.
Sing to him; sing songs to praise him. Tell about all his miraculous deeds.
10 Ìyìn nínú orúkọ rẹ̀ mímọ́; jẹ kí ọkàn àwọn tí ó yin Olúwa kí ó yọ̀.
Be glad that you belong to him [MTY]; those who want to know Yahweh better should rejoice.
11 Ẹ wá Olúwa àti agbára rẹ̀; e wá ojú rẹ̀ nígbà gbogbo.
Trust in Yahweh and in his power; continually seek to get help from him.
12 Rántí àwọn ìyanu tí Ó ti ṣe, iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ̀ àti ìdájọ́ tí Ó ti sọ.
Do not forget the wonderful things that he has done, the miracles and the just laws that he has given to us.
13 A! ẹ̀yin ìran ọmọ Israẹli ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, àwọn ọmọ Jakọbu, ẹ̀yin tí ó ti yàn.
We people are the descendants of his servant Jacob; we are the people of Israel whom he has chosen.
14 Òun ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa; ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ wà ní gbogbo ayé.
Yahweh is our God. His just/fair laws are known by people throughout the world.
15 Ó rántí májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ láéláé, ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó pàṣẹ, fún ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún ìran,
He never forgets the agreement that he has made: he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations.
16 májẹ̀mú tí ó dá pẹ̀lú Abrahamu, ìbúra tí ó ṣe pẹ̀lú fún Isaaki.
That is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement to Isaac.
17 Ó ṣe ìdánilójú u rẹ̀ fún Jakọbu, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣẹ sí Israẹli, gẹ́gẹ́ bi májẹ̀mú ayérayé:
It was an agreement for the Israeli people, and he wanted that agreement to endure forever.
18 “Sí ọ, ni èmi yóò fún ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ààyè tí ìwọ yóò jogún.”
What he said was, “I will give the Canaan region to you, to belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
19 Nígbà tí wọn kéré ní iye, wọ́n kéré gidigidi, wọ́n sì jẹ́ àlejò níbẹ̀,
[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 wọ́n rìn kiri láti orílẹ̀-èdè sí orílẹ̀-èdè láti ìjọba kan sí èkejì.
they continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
21 Kò gba ọkùnrin kankan láyè láti pọ́n wọn lójú; nítorí tiwọn, ó bá àwọn ọba wí.
But he did not allow others to oppress them, and he warned kings by saying to them,
22 “Má ṣe fọwọ́ kan àwọn ẹni àmì òróró mi; má ṣe pa àwọn wòlíì mi lára.”
“Do not harm the people whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
23 Kọrin sí Olúwa gbogbo ayé; ẹ máa fi ìgbàlà rẹ̀ hàn láti ọjọ́ dé ọjọ́.
You people throughout the world, sing to Yahweh. Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved us.
24 Kéde ògo à rẹ̀ láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, ohun ìyàlẹ́nu tí ó ṣe láàrín gbogbo ènìyàn.
Tell the people of the nations that he is great; tell all the people-groups the marvelous things [that he has done].
25 Nítorí títóbi ni Olúwa òun sì ni ìyìn yẹ jùlọ; òun ni kí a bẹ̀rù ju gbogbo àwọn Ọlọ́run lọ.
Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much. He should be revered more than all the gods,
26 Nítorí gbogbo àwọn ọlọ́run orílẹ̀-èdè jẹ́ àwọn òrìṣà, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa dá àwọn ọ̀run.
because all the gods that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only idols, but Yahweh [is truly great; he] created the skies.
27 Dídán àti ọláńlá ni ó wà níwájú rẹ̀; agbára àti ayọ̀ ni ó wà ní ibi ibùgbé rẹ̀.
He is glorious and majestic; his power and joy fill his Sacred Tent.
28 Fi fún Olúwa, ẹ̀yin ìdílé àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, ẹ fi ògo àti ipá fún Olúwa.
You people in nations all over the world, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
29 Fún Olúwa ní ìyìn nítorí orúkọ rẹ̀; gbé ọrẹ kí ẹ sì wá síwájú rẹ̀. Sìn Olúwa nínú inú dídùn ìwà mímọ́ rẹ̀.
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 Wárìrì níwájú rẹ̀, gbogbo ayé! Ayé sì fi ìdí múlẹ̀; a kò sì le è ṣí i.
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 Jẹ́ kí àwọn ọ̀run kí ó yọ̀, jẹ́ kí ayé kí ó ṣe inú dídùn; lẹ́ kí wọn kí ó sọ láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, pé “Olúwa jẹ ọba!”
Everything in the sky and on the earth should be happy. People [everywhere] should say, “Yahweh is our king!”
32 Jẹ́ kí ọ̀run kí ó tún dún padà, àti gbogbo ohun tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀; Jẹ́ kí àwọn pápá kí ó hó fún ayọ̀, àti gbogbo ohun tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀!
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 Nígbà náà ni igi igbó yóò kọrin, wọn yóò kọrin fún ayọ̀ níwájú Olúwa, nítorí tí ó wá láti ṣèdájọ́ ayé.
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 Fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa, nítorí tí ó dára; ìfẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀ dúró títí láé.
Thank Yahweh, because [everything that he does is] good. He faithfully loves us forever.
35 Ké lóhùn rara, “Gbà wá, Ọlọ́run olùgbàlà a wa; kó wa jọ kí o sì gbà wá kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, kí àwa kí ó lè fi ọpẹ́ fún orúkọ mímọ́ rẹ, kí àwa kí ó lè yọ̀ nínú ìyìn rẹ̀.”
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 Olùbùkún ni Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, láé àti láéláé. Lẹ́yìn náà gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn wí pé, “Àmín,” wọ́n “Yin Olúwa.”
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 Dafidi fi Asafu àti àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ níwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa láti jíṣẹ́ níbẹ̀ déédé, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọjọ́ kọ̀ọ̀kan ṣe gbà.
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 Ó fi Obedi-Edomu àti méjìdínláàádọ́rin ẹlẹgbẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀ láti ṣiṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ pẹ̀lú wọn. Obedi-Edomu mọ Jedutuni, àti Hosa pẹ̀lú jẹ́ olùtọ́jú ẹnu-ọ̀nà.
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 Dafidi fi Sadoku àlùfáà àti àwọn àlùfáà ẹlẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀ níwájú Àgọ́ Olúwa ní ibi gíga ní Gibeoni.
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 Láti gbé pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun déédé, àárọ̀ àti ìrọ̀lẹ́ ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun tí a kọ sínú òfin Olúwa, tí ó ti fún Israẹli.
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 Pẹ̀lú wọn ni Hemani àti Jedutuni àti ìyókù tí a mú àti yàn nípasẹ̀ orúkọ láti fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa, nítorí tí ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ dúró títí láéláé
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 Hemani àti Jedutuni ni wọ́n dúró fún fífọn ìpè àti Kimbali àti fún lílo ohun èlò yòókù fún orin Ọlọ́run. Àwọn ọmọ Jedutuni wà ní ipò dídúró ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà.
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 Nígbà náà gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn kúrò, olúkúlùkù sí ilé rẹ̀: Dafidi yípadà láti súre fún ìdílé rẹ̀.
Then all the people left. They returned to their homes, and David returned home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family.
