1 Chronicles 16
1 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.
Basebewuletha umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu, bawumisa phakathi kwethente uDavida ayelimisele wona; basebenikela iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
2 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.
UDavida eseqedile ukunikela umnikelo wokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula wababusisa abantu ebizweni leNkosi.
3 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.
Wasesabela wonke umuntu wakoIsrayeli kusukela kowesilisa kuze kube kowesifazana, kwaba ngulowo lalowo isinkwa esisodwa, leqatha lenyama, lesinkwa sezithelo zevini ezonyisiweyo.
4 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:
Wasemisa izikhonzi kumaLevi phambi komtshokotsho weNkosi, ngitsho ukukhumbula lokubonga lokudumisa iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
5 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,
UAsafi inhloko, lowesibili kuye uZekhariya, uJeyiyeli, loShemiramothi, loJehiyeli, loMathithiya, loEliyabi, loBhenaya, loObedi-Edoma, loJeyiyeli belezinto zezigubhu zezintambo njalo lamachacho; uAsafi wasezizwakalisa ngezinsimbi ezincencethayo;
6 And Benaiah and Iahaziel Priestes, with trumpets continually before the Arke of the couenant of God.
loBhenaya loJahaziyeli abapristi ngezimpondo njalonjalo phambi komtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu.
7 Then at that time Dauid did appoint at the beginning to giue thankes to the Lord by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
Ngalesosikhathi ngalolosuku uDavida wanika kuqala lesisihlabelelo ukudumisa iNkosi ngesandla sikaAsafi labafowabo:
8 Praise the Lord and call vpon his Name: declare his workes among the people.
Bongani iNkosi, libize ibizo layo, lazise phakathi kwabantu izenzo zayo.
9 Sing vnto him, sing praise vnto him, and talke of all his wonderfull workes.
Hlabelelani kuyo, liyihubele amahubo, lilandise ngezenzo zayo ezimangalisayo.
10 Reioyce in his holy Name: let the hearts of them that seeke the Lord reioyce.
Zincomeni ebizweni layo elingcwele, kayithokoze inhliziyo yabo abadinga iNkosi.
11 Seeke the Lord and his strength: seeke his face continually.
Dingani iNkosi lamandla ayo, lidinge ubuso bayo njalonjalo.
12 Remember his marueilous workes that he hath done, his wonders, and the iudgements of his mouth,
Khumbulani izimangaliso zayo eyazenzayo, izibonakaliso zayo, lezahlulelo zomlomo wayo,
13 O seede of Israel his seruant, O the children of Iaakob his chosen.
nzalo kaIsrayeli inceku yayo, bantwana bakaJakobe, abakhethiweyo bayo.
14 He is the Lord our God: his iudgements are throughout all the earth.
IyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu; izahlulelo zayo zisemhlabeni wonke.
15 Remember his couenant for euer, and the worde, which hee commanded to a thousand generations:
Khumbulani isivumelwano sayo kuze kube nininini, ilizwi eyalilaya kuzinkulungwane zezizukulwana,
16 Which he made with Abraham, and his othe to Izhak:
eyasenza loAbrahama, lesifungo sakhe kuIsaka,
17 And hath confirmed it to Iaakob for a Law, and to Israel for an euerlasting couenant,
eyasiqinisa lakuJakobe saba yisimiso, kuIsrayeli saba yisivumelwano esilaphakade,
18 Saying, To thee will I giue the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.
isithi: Ngizakunika ilizwe leKhanani, inkatho yelifa lakho.
19 When ye were fewe in number, yea, a very fewe, and strangers therein,
Lapho lalibalutshwana ngenani, yebo libalutshwana, njalo liyizihambi kulo.
20 And walked about from nation to nation, and from one kingdome to another people,
Basebezula besuka esizweni besiya esizweni, besuka embusweni besiya kwabanye abantu.
21 He suffered no man to do them wrong, but rebuked Kings for their sakes, saying,
Kayivumelanga muntu ukubacindezela; yebo yakhuza amakhosi ngenxa yabo:
22 Touch not mine anoynted, and doe my Prophets no harme.
Lingathinti abagcotshiweyo bami, lingoni abaprofethi bami.
23 Sing vnto the Lord all the earth: declare his saluation from day to day.
Hlabelelani eNkosini, mhlaba wonke, litshumayele insuku ngensuku usindiso lwayo.
24 Declare his glory among the nations, and his wonderful workes among all people.
Landisani udumo lwayo phakathi kwezizwe, izimangaliso zayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.
25 For the Lord is great and much to be praised, and hee is to bee feared aboue all gods.
Ngoba yinkulu iNkosi, ifanele ukudunyiswa kakhulu, iyesabeka phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
26 For all the gods of the people are idoles, but the Lord made the heauens.
Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe; kodwa iNkosi yenza amazulu.
27 Prayse and glory are before him: power and beautie are in his place.
Udumo lenkazimulo kuphambi kwayo, amandla lentokozo kusendaweni yayo.
28 Giue vnto the Lord, ye families of the people: giue vnto the Lord glory and power.
Inikeni iNkosi, zizukulwana zezizwe, inikeni iNkosi udumo lamandla.
29 Giue vnto the Lord ye glory of his Name: bring an offring and come before him, and worship the Lord in the glorious Sanctuarie.
Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layo, lethani umnikelo lize phambi kwayo. Ikhonzeni iNkosi ebuhleni bobungcwele.
30 Tremble ye before him, al the earth: surely the world shalbe stable and not moue.
Lithuthumele phambi kwayo, mhlaba wonke; njalo umhlaba uzaqiniswa, kawuyikunyikinyeka.
31 Let the heauens reioyce, and let the earth be glad, and let them say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.
Kawathokoze amazulu, lomhlaba ujabule, kabatsho phakathi kwezizwe ukuthi: INkosi iyabusa.
32 Let the sea roare, and all that therein is: Let the field be ioyfull and all that is in it.
Kaluhlokome ulwandle lokugcwala kwalo, iganga kalithabe lakho konke okukulo.
33 Let the trees of the wood then reioyce at the presence of the Lord: for he commeth to iudge the earth.
Khona zizahlabelela ngentokozo izihlahla zehlathi phambi kweNkosi, ngoba iyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba.
34 Prayse the Lord, for hee is good, for his mercie endureth for euer.
Bongani iNkosi ngoba ilungile, ngoba umusa wayo umi kuze kube phakade.
35 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.
Lithi futhi: Sisindise, Nkulunkulu wosindiso lwethu, usibuthe usikhulule ezizweni, ukuze sibonge ibizo lakho elingcwele, sizincome kudumo lwakho.
36 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for euer and euer: and let all people say, So be it, and praise the Lord.
Kayibusiswe iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, kusukela phakade kuze kube phakade. Bonke abantu basebesithi: Ameni. Basebeyidumisa iNkosi.
37 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:
Wasetshiya lapho phambi komtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi oAsafi labafowabo ukukhonza phambi komtshokotsho njalonjalo njengodaba losuku ngosuku lwalo.
38 And Obed Edom and his brethren, three score and eight: and Obed Edom the sonne of Ieduthun, and Hosah were porters.
LoObedi-Edoma kanye labafowabo, abangamatshumi ayisithupha lesificaminwembili; uObedi-Edoma indodana kaJeduthuni loHosa babengabagcini bamasango.
39 And Zadok the Priest and his brethren the Priestes were before the Tabernacle of ye Lord, in the hie place that was at Gibeon,
LoZadoki umpristi labafowabo abapristi phambi kwethabhanekele leNkosi endaweni ephakemeyo eyayiseGibeyoni,
40 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.
ukuze banikele iminikelo yokutshiswa eNkosini phezu kwelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa njalonjalo ekuseni lakusihlwa, lanjengakho konke okubhaliweyo emlayweni weNkosi, eyawulaya uIsrayeli.
41 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.
Njalo kanye labo oHemani loJeduthuni labanye ababekhethiwe abamiswa ngamabizo ukubonga iNkosi, ngoba umusa wayo umi kuze kube phakade.
42 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.
Njalo kanye labo oHemani loJeduthuni babelezimpondo lezinsimbi ezincencethayo zalabo abazizwakalisayo, lezinto zokuhlabelela zikaNkulunkulu. Lamadodana kaJeduthuni ayesesangweni.
43 And all the people departed, euerie man to his house: and Dauid returned to blesse his house.
Basebehamba bonke abantu, ngulowo lalowo waya endlini yakhe. UDavida wasebuyela ukubusisa indlu yakhe.
