< 1 Chronicles 16 >

1 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent, which David had pitched for it: and they offered holocausts, and peace offerings before God.
Ko ia naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae ʻOtua, mo tuku ia ʻi he loto fale fehikitaki ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ki ai ʻe Tevita: pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
2 And when David had made an end of offering holocausts, and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
Pea ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi ʻe Tevita ʻae ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻae kakai ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova.
3 And he divided to all and every one, both men and women, a loaf of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and flour fried with oil.
Pea naʻa ne tufaki ki he kakai taki taha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he tangata mo e fefine fakatouʻosi, ke taki taha haʻane foʻi mā, mo e konga kanomate lahi, mo e ipu uaine ʻe taha.
4 And he appointed Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, and to remember his works, and to glorify, and praise the Lord God of Israel.
Pea naʻa ne fakanofo ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kau Livai ke tauhi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, pea ke fai ʻae tohi fakamanatu, pea ke fai ʻae fakafetaʻi mo e fakamālō kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli:
5 Asaph the chief, and next after him Zacharias: moreover Jahiel, and Semiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mathathias, and Eliab, and Banaias, and Obededom: and Jehiel over the instruments of psaltery, and harps: and Asaph sounded with cymbals:
Ko honau ʻeiki ʻa ʻAsafi, pea hoko mo ia ʻa Sakalia, mo Sieli, mo Similamoti, mo Sehieli, mo Matitia, mo ʻIliapi, mo Penaia, mo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi: pea naʻe ʻia Sieli ʻae ngaahi ūtete mo e ngaahi haʻape; ka naʻe ʻia ʻAsafi ʻae fakaongo ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa pakihi;
6 But Banaias, and Jaziel the priests, to sound the trumpet continually before the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
Pea naʻe ʻia Penaia foki mo Seesieli ko e ongo taulaʻeiki ʻae ngaahi meʻalea maʻuaipē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae ʻOtua.
7 In that day David made Asaph the chief to give praise to the Lord with his brethren.
Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe fuofua ʻatu ʻe Tevita ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo ʻAsafi pea mo hono kāinga.
8 Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make known his doings among the nations.
Mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ui ki hono huafa, fakaongoongo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai ʻa ʻene ngaahi ngāue.
9 Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: and relate all his wondrous works.
Mou hiva kiate ia, hiva ʻaki ʻae ngaahi saame kiate ia, mou fetalanoaʻaki ʻa ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo.
10 Praise ye his holy name: let the heart I of them rejoice, that seek the Lord.
Mou vikiviki ʻi hono huafa māʻoniʻoni: tuku ke fiefia ʻae loto ʻokinautolu, ʻoku kumi kia Sihova.
11 Seek ye the Lord, and his power: seek ye his face evermore.
Mou kumi kia Sihova pea mo ʻene mālohi, mou kumi maʻuaipē ki hono fofonga.
12 Remember his wonderful works, which he hath done: his signs, and the judgments of his mouth.
Manatu ki heʻene ngaahi ngāue fakamanavahē ʻaia kuo ne fai, ʻa ʻene ngaahi meʻa fakaofo, pea mo e fakamaau mei hono fofonga:
13 O ye seed of Israel his servants, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
‌ʻAkimoutolu ʻae hako ʻo ʻIsileli ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻakimoutolu ʻae fānau ʻa Sekope, ʻae kakai kuo ne fili.
14 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
Ko ia ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi māmani kotoa pē ʻa ʻene ngaahi fakamaau.
15 Remember for ever his covenant: the word, which he commanded to a thousand generations.
Mou manatu maʻuaipē ki heʻene fuakava; ʻae folofola ko ia naʻa ne fekau ʻaki ki he toʻutangata ʻe afe;
16 The covenant which he made with Abraham: and his oath to Isaac.
‌ʻAia naʻa ne fai mo ʻEpalahame, pea mo ʻene fuakava kia ʻAisake;
17 And he appointed the same to Jacob for a precept: and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
Pea kuo ne fakapapau ia kia Sekope ko e fono tuʻumaʻu, pea ko e fuakava taʻengata ki ʻIsileli.
18 Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan: the lot of your inheritance.
‌ʻI [heʻene ]pehē, “Ko koe te u foaki ki ai ʻae fonua ko Kēnani, ko e tufakanga ʻo homou tofiʻa;”
19 When they were but a small number: very few and sojourners in it.
Lolotonga ʻa hoʻomou tokosiʻi pe, ʻio, ko e tokosiʻi pe, pea ko e kau muli pe ʻi ai.
20 And they passed from nation to nation: and from a kingdom to another people.
Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu fano mei he fonua ʻe taha ki ha fonua kehe, pea mei he puleʻanga ʻe taha ki ha kakai kehe;
21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: and reproved kings for their sake.
Naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ke fai taʻetotonu kiate kinautolu ʻe ha tokotaha: naʻa mo e ngaahi tuʻi naʻa ne valokiʻi koeʻuhi ko kinautolu,
22 Touch not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.
[Mo ne pehē], “ʻOua naʻa ala kiate ia kuo u pani ʻaki ʻae lolo, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ha kovi ki hoku kau palōfita.”
23 Sing ye to the Lord, all the earth: shew forth from day to day his salvation.
Ke hiva kia Sihova, ʻa māmani kātoa; fakahāhā atu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻa ʻene fakamoʻui.
24 Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.
Fanongonongo ʻa ʻene nāunauʻia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai hiteni; mo ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo lahi ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
25 For the Lord is great and exceedingly to be praised: and he is to be feared above all gods.
He ʻoku lahi ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku taau mo ia ʻae fakafetaʻi lahi: ʻoku taau mo ia foki ʻae manavahē ke lahi hake ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē.
26 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.
He ko e ngaahi tamapua pe ʻae ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai: ka naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi langi.
27 Praise and magnificence are before him: strength and joy in his place.
‌ʻOku ʻi hono ʻao ʻoʻona ʻae nāunau, mo e ʻapasia; ʻoku ʻi hono nofoʻanga ʻae mālohi mo e fiefia.
28 Bring ye to the Lord, O ye families of the nations: bring ye to the Lord glory and empire.
‌ʻAtu kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga kakai, ʻatu kia Sihova ʻae nāunau mo e mālohi.
29 Give to the Lord glory to his name, bring up sacrifice, and come ye in his sight: and adore the Lord in holy becomingness.
‌ʻAtu kia Sihova ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoku taau mo hono huafa: ʻomi ha feilaulau, pea haʻu ki hono ʻao: lotu kia Sihova ʻi he matamatalelei ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
30 Let all the earth be moved at his presence: for he hath founded the world immoveable.
Ke manavahē kiate ia ʻa māmani kotoa pē: ʻe nofomaʻu foki ʻa māmani ke ʻoua naʻa ngaue ia.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth be glad: and let them say among the nations: The Lord hath reigned.
Tuku ke fiefia ʻae ngaahi langi, pea tuku ke nekeneka ʻa māmani: pea tuku ke pehē ʻe he kakai ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, “ʻOku pule ʻa Sihova.”
32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all things that are in them.
Ke ʻuʻulu ʻae tahi, pea mo hono fonu ʻo ia: ke fiefia ʻae ngaahi tokanga ngoue mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai.
33 Then shall the trees of the wood give praise before the Lord: because he is come to judge the earth.
‌ʻE toki pā atu ʻae hiva ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau ʻoe vao ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, koeʻuhi ʻoku ne hāʻele mai ke fakamaau ʻa māmani.
34 Give ye glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Mou tuku ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova he ʻoku ne angalelei; pea ʻoku taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.
35 And say ye: Save us, O God our saviour: and gather us together, and deliver us from the nations, that we may give glory to thy holy name, and may rejoice in singing thy praises.
Pea mou pehē, “Fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu, ʻa koe ko e ʻOtua ʻo homau fakamoʻui, pea tānaki fakataha ʻakimautolu, pea fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei he hiteni, koeʻuhi ke mau ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ki ho huafa māʻoniʻoni, pea [mau ]vikiviki ʻi he fakamālō kiate koe.”
36 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity: and let all the people say Amen, and a hymn to God.
Ke fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, “ʻEmeni,” mo nau fai ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.
37 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, Asaph and his brethren to minister in the presence of the ark continually day by day, and in their courses.
Ko ia naʻa ne tuku ʻa ʻAsafi mo hono kāinga ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke tauhi maʻuaipē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava, ʻo hangē ko e ngāue naʻe totonu ke fai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē:
38 And Obededom, with his brethren sixty-eight: and Obededom the son of Idithun, and Hosa he appointed to be porters.
Mo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi mo honau kāinga, ko e toko onongofulu ma valu; ka ko e kau leʻo matapā ʻa ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ko e foha ʻo Situtuni, pea mo Hosa:
39 And Sadoc the priest, and his brethren priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place, which was in Gabaon.
Pea ko Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, pea mo hono ngaahi kāinga ko e kau taulaʻeiki, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova ʻi he potu māʻolunga ʻaia naʻe ʻi Kipione,
40 That they should offer holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of holocausts continually, morning and evening, according to all that is written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded Israel.
Ke [nau ]ʻohake ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova ʻi he funga feilaulauʻanga ʻoe feilaulau tutu maʻuaipē ʻi he pongipongi mo e efiafi, pea ke fai ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ki ʻIsileli;
41 And after him Heman, and Idithun, and the rest that were chosen, every one by his name to give praise to the Lord: because his mercy endureth for ever.
Pea naʻe fakataha mo kinautolu ʻa Hemani mo Situtuni mo kinautolu naʻe fili, ʻakinautolu naʻe lau ʻa honau hingoa, ke fai ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa ʻoku taʻengata;
42 And Heman and Idithun sounded the trumpet, and played on the cymbals, and all kinds of musical instruments to sing praises to God: and the sons of Idithun he made porters.
Pea fakataha mo kinautolu ʻa Hemani mo Situtuni mo ʻena ngaahi meʻalea mo ʻena ngaahi meʻa pakihi koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻe hiva ki he ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa fasi hiva. Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Situtuni ko e kau leʻo matapā ʻakinautolu.
43 And all the people returned to their houses: and David to bless also his own house.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai, ko e tangata taki taha ki hono fale ʻoʻona: pea naʻe ʻalu foki ʻa Tevita ke ne tāpuakiʻi ʻa hono fale.
