1 Chronicles 16
1 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.
Ale wotsɔ Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la yi Agbadɔ si David tu nɛ la me. Israel kplɔlawo sa numevɔ kple akpedavɔ le Mawu ŋkume.
2 When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the LORD’s name.
Esi David sa numevɔ kple akpedavɔ vɔ la, eyra ameawo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ me
3 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.
eye wòtsɔ abolo, lãkɔ kple waintsetsebolo na Israelvi ɖe sia ɖe, ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo siaa.
4 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:
Etia Levitɔ aɖewo be woanɔ nublaɖaka la ŋgɔ anɔ Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la kafum, anɔ akpe dam nɛ eye woanɔ eƒe yayra biam ɖe amewo dzi madzudzɔmadzudzɔe. Ame siwo wode dɔ sia asi na la woe nye:
5 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;
Asaf, ameawo ƒe kplɔla, eyae ƒoa gakogoe. Eƒe hadɔwɔlawoe nye: Zekaria, Yeiel, Semiramɔt, Yehiel, Matitia, Eliab, Benaya, Obed Edom kple Yeiel. Woawoe ƒoa saŋkuwo kple kasaŋkuwo.
6 with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
Nunɔla Benaya kple Nunɔla Yahaziel kua kpẽ le nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ gbe sia gbe.
7 Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to the LORD by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
Ɣe ma ɣie David dze hadzilawo ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ gɔme le Agbadɔ la me be woadzi akpedaha na Yehowa. Ame si nɔ hadzilawo nue nye Asaf.
8 Oh give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples.
Wodzi ha be: Mida akpe na Yehowa Miyɔ eƒe ŋkɔ eye miɖe gbeƒã nu siwo wòwɔ la le dukɔwo dome.
9 Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
Midzi ha nɛ, midzi kafukafuha nɛ, Miɖe gbeƒã eƒe nukunuwɔwɔwo;
10 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Miƒo adegbe le eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la ŋu, mina ame siwo dia Yehowa la ƒe dzi natso aseye.
11 Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
Midi Yehowa, mibia eƒe ŋusẽ, Midi eƒe ŋkume ɖaa.
12 Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
Miɖo ŋku nukunu siwo wòwɔ, eƒe dzesiwo kple eƒe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃wo dzi.
13 you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
O Israel, eƒe dɔla ƒe dzidzimeviwo, O Yakob ƒe viwo, ame siwo wòtia.
14 He is the LORD our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
Eyae nye Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu! Eƒe ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ xɔ anyigba la katã dzi.
15 Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
Eɖoa ŋku eƒe nubabla kple se siwo wòde na dzidzime akpewo la dzi ɖaa,
16 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
Eƒe nu si wòbla kple Abraham, kple atam si wòka na Isak la dzi.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Eɖo kpe edzi na Yakob Abe sedede ene eye na Israel abe nubabla mavɔ ene be:
18 saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”
“Wòe matsɔ Kanaanyigba la na, abe wò domenyinu ene!”
19 when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
Esi wonye ame ʋɛ aɖewo ko, Womesɔ gbɔ o eye wonye amedzrowo le anyigba dzi la,
20 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
Esime wotsa tso dukɔ me yi dukɔ me Tso fiaɖuƒe ɖeka me yi bubu me la,
21 He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Yehowa meɖe mɔ be ame aɖeke nate wo ɖe anyi o Eka mo na fiawo le wo ta
22 “Do not touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
Mawu gblɔ na fia mawo be, “Migaka asi nye amesiaminawo o eye migawɔ nuvevi nye nyagblɔɖilawo o.”
23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.
Oo, anyigba, midzi ha na Yehowa, Miɖe gbeƒã eƒe xɔxɔ le dukɔwo dome gbe sia gbe,
24 Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.
Miɖe eƒe Ŋutikɔkɔefia le dukɔwo dome kple eƒe nukudɔwo fia le anyigbadzitɔwo katã dome.
25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.
Elabena Yehowa lolo eye wòdze kafukafu ŋutɔ; ele be woavɔ̃e wu mawuwo katã.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
Dukɔwo ƒe mawuwo nye legbawo. Ke Yehowae wɔ dziƒowo.
27 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
Atsyɔ̃ kple gãnyenye le eŋgɔ eye ŋusẽ kple ŋutikɔkɔe le eƒe kɔkɔeƒe la me.
28 Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
O mi dukɔwo ƒe ƒomewo, mitsɔ bubu kple ŋusẽ na Yehowa.
29 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship the LORD in holy array.
Ɛ̃, mitsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe si dze eƒe ŋkɔ la nɛ. Mido ɖe eŋkume kple nunana. Misubɔ Yehowa le eƒe kɔkɔenyenye ƒe atyɔ̃ me.
30 Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it cannot be moved.
Mi anyigbawo katã, midzo nyanyanya le eŋkume. Eɖo xexea gɔme anyi goŋgoŋgoŋ, mate ŋu aʋã o.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!”
Dziƒowo, mitso aseye, anyigba nedzɔ dzi. Wonegblɔ le dukɔwo dome be, “Yehowae le fia ɖum.”
32 Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
Atsiaƒu kple emenuwo katã neɖe gbe eye gbegbe kple emenuwo katã netso aseye!
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.
Ekema avemetiwo katã adzi ha Woadzi ha kple dzidzɔ le Yehowa ŋkume, Elabena egbɔna be yeadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu anyigba.
34 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
Mida akpe na Yehowa elabena eƒe dɔme nyo Eye eƒe lɔlɔ̃ li ɖaa.
35 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.”
Mido ɣli be, “Oo Mawu, mia Ɖela, ɖe mí, Ƒo mía nu ƒu eye nàɖe mí tso dukɔwo ƒe asi me. Be míada akpe na wò ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la, Be míadzɔ dzi le wò kafukafu me.”
36 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD.
Woakafu Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la Tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me. Tete ameawo katã xɔ ɖe edzi be, “Amen, mikafu Yehowa.”
37 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;
David tia Asaf kple nɔvia Levitɔwo be woawɔ subɔsubɔdɔ ɣe sia ɣi le Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ eye woawɔ nu sia nu si hiã na wɔwɔ la gbe sia gbe.
38 and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
Ame siwo wode dɔ sia asi na la, woe nye: Obed Edom, Yedutun ƒe vi, Hosa kple wo nɔvi blaade-vɔ-enyi, ame siwo nye agbonudzɔlawo.
39 and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before the LORD’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,
Wogawɔa Yehowa ƒe Agbadɔ xoxo si nɔ Gibeon to la dzi la ŋu dɔ. David gble Nunɔla Zadok kple Nunɔla bubuawo ɖi be woasubɔ Yehowa le afi ma.
40 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;
Wosa numevɔ na Yehowa ŋdi sia ŋdi, fiẽ sia fiẽ le numevɔsamlekpui la dzi abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Israel ene.
41 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;
David gatia Heman kple Yedutun kple ame bubu aɖewo, ame siwo ŋkɔwo wode dzesi la be woada akpe na Yehowa le eƒe lɔlɔ̃ kple amenuveve si li ɖaa la ta.
42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets 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.
Heman kple Yedutun kua woƒe kpẽwo eye woƒoa woƒe gakogoewo kpena ɖe hadzidzi ŋu eye kafukafu dea dzi na Yehowa bobobo. Wotia Yedutun ƒe viwo wozu agbonudzɔlawo.
43 All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
Esi aseyetsotso la wu enu eye ame sia ame trɔ yi eƒe aƒe me la, David hã trɔ yi eƒe aƒe me eye wòyra eƒe aƒemetɔwo.
