1 Chronicles 16
1 So they brought the ark of God, and set it inside the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.
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.
2 And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.
Daudi alipo maliza kutoa dhabiu ya kuteketeza na sadaka za ushirika, aliwabariki watu kwa jina la Yahweh.
3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.
Alisambaza kwa kila Misraeli, mwanaume na mwanamke, kipande cha mkate, na kipande cha nyama, na keki ya mzabibu.
4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel:
Daudi aliewapangia baadhi ya Walawi kutumika mbele ya sanduku la Yahweh, na kusheherekea, kushukuru na kumsifu Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli.
5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;
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.
6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
Benaia na Yahazieli walikuwa wakupiga tarumbeta kila mara, mbele sanduku la agano la Mungu.
7 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
Kisha katika hiyo siku Daudi akawachagua Asafu na kaka zake kuimba hii nyimbo ya shukurani kwa Yahweh.
8 Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
Mpeni shukurani Yahweh, liitieni jina lake; fahamisheni mataifa matendo yake.
9 Sing to him, sing psalms to him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
Mwiimbieni, imbeni sifa kwake; semeni matendo yake ya ajabu.
10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
Jisifuni katika jina lake takatifu; mioyo ya wanao mtafuta Yahweh ishangilie.
11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
Mtafute Yahweh na nguvu zake; tafuteni uwepo wake siku zote.
12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
Kumbukeni matendo aliyo ya fanya kwenu, miujiza yake na amri za kinywa chake,
13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
enyi uzao wa Israeli mtumishi wake, enyi watu wa Yakobo, wateule wake.
14 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
Yeye ni Yahweh, Mungu wetu. Amri zake zipo duniani kote.
15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
Tunzeni agano lake akilini mwenu milele, neno alilo liamuru kwa vizazi elfu moja.
16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath to Isaac;
Anakumbuka agano alilo lifanya na Ibrahimu, na nadhiri yake kwake Isaka.
17 And which he confirmed to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Hili ndilo alilo lithibitisha kwa Yakobo kama amri maalumu, na kwa Israeli kama agano la milele.
18 Saying, To thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
Alisema, “Nitakupa nchi ya Kanani kama sehemu ya urithi wako.”
19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
Nilisema hili mlipo kuwa wachache kwa idadi, wachache sana, mlipo kuwa wageni katika nchi.
20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
Walienda taifa hadi taifa, kutoka ufalme mmoja hadi mwingine.
21 He permitted no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Hakuwaruhusu yeyote awatese; aliwahadhibu wafalme kwa ajili yao.
22 Saying, Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
Alisema, “Msiwaguse wapakwa mafuta wangu, na msiwadhuru manabii wangu.”
23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to day his salvation.
Imbeni kwa Yahweh, dunia yote; tangazeni wokovu wake siku hadi siku.
24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.
Kirini utukufu wake kwa mataifa, matendo yake makuu kwa mataifa yote.
25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.
Kwa kuwa Yahweh ni mkuu na ni wakusifiwa sana, na ni wakuogopewa kuliko miungu yote.
26 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
Kwa kuwa miungu ya mataifa ni sanamu, lakini ni Yahweh aliye umba mbingu.
27 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.
Uzuri wa ajabu na utukufu upo uweponi mwake. Uwezo na furaha upo kwake.
28 Give to the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength.
Mpeni sifa Yahweh, enyi koo za watu, mpeni sifa Yahweh utukufu na uwezo;
29 Give to the LORD the glory due to his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
Mpeni Yahweh utukufu upasao jina lake. Leta sadaka na mje kwake. Muinamieni Yahweh katika utakatifu wa uzuri wake.
30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
Mtetemeke mbele zake, dunia yote. Dunia imeimarishwa; haiwezi kutikisika.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.
Mbingu nazo ziwe nafuraha, na dunia ifurahi; na wasema kwa mataifa yote, “Yahweh anatawala.”
32 Let the sea roar, and all it containeth: let the fields rejoice, and all that is in it.
Bahari na ingurume, na inayo ijaza ipige kelele kwa furaha. Mashamba yawe na furaha tele, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake.
33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.
Na miti iliyopo misituni ipige kelele kwa Yahweh, kwa kuwa anakuja kuhukumu dunia.
34 O give thanks to the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
Toeni shukurani kwa Yahweh, kwa kuwa ni mwema, uaminifu wa agano lake la dumu ata milele.
35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.
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.”
36 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.
Na Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli, asifiwe kutoka milele na milele. Watu wote wakasema, “Amina” na wakamsifu Yahweh.
37 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required:
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.
38 And Obededom with their brethren, sixty and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:
Obedi Edomu mwana wa Yeduthuni, pamoja na Hosa, walikuwa wawe walinzi wa lango.
39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,
Zadoki kuhani na makuhani wenzake walikuwa watumike mbele ya hema la Yahweh katika mahali pa juu huko Gibeoni.
40 To offer burnt offerings to the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel;
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.
41 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever;
Hemani na Yeduthuni walikuwa nao, pamoja na walio chaguliwa kwa jina, kumpa shukurani Yahweh, kwasababu uaminifu wa agano lake la dumu ata milele
42 And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.
Hemani na Yeduthuni walikuwa viongozi wa wao waliopiga tarumbeta, upatu, na vyombo vingine kwa muziki wa kumuabudu Mungu. Wana wa Yeduthuni walilinda lango.
43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
Kisha watu wote walirudi nyumbani, na Daudi akarudi kubariki nyumba yake.
