1 Whakapapa 16
1 Heoi kawea ana e ratou te aaka a te Atua, whakaturia ana ki waenganui o te teneti i whakaarahia e Rawiri mona; a tapaea ana e ratou he tahunga tinana, he whakahere mo te pai ki te aroaro o te Atua.
And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God.
2 A, ka mutu ta Rawiri whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana, i nga whakahere mo te pai, ka manaakitia e ia te iwi i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa.
And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
3 I tuwhaina ano e ia ma nga tangata katoa o Iharaira, ma te tane, ma te wahine, kotahi rohi taro ma tenei, ma tenei, tetahi wahi kikokiko, me tetahi keke karepe whakamaroke.
And he dealt out to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.
4 I whakaritea ano e ia etahi o nga Riwaiti hei minita ki mua i te aaka a Ihowa, hei whakamahara, hei whakawhetai, hei whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira:
And he placed before the ark of the Lord several of the Levites as ministers, and to chaunt hymns, and to give praise and thanks unto the Lord the God of Israel:
5 Ko Ahapa hei tuatahi; i muri i a ia ko Hakaraia, ko Teiere, ko Hemiramoto, ko Penaia, ko Opereeroma, ko Teiere hoki ki nga hatere, ki nga hapa, ko Ahapa hei whakatangi i nga himipora:
Assaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah; Je'iel, and Shemiramoth, and Jechiel, and Matthithyah, and Eliab, and Benayahu, and 'Obed-edom; and Je'iel with psalteries and with harps; but Assaph played aloud with the cymbals.
6 Ko Penaia hoki raua ko Tahatiere, ko nga tohunga, kia tuturu tonu ta raua mau tetere ki mua i te aaka o te kawenata a te Atua.
And Benayahu and Jachaziel the priests were with the trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 I reira ano i taua ra ka whakaritea tuatahitia e Rawiri he whakamoemiti mo Ihowa, na te ringa o Ahapa ratou ko ona teina.
On that day—then did David appoint for the first time to give thanks to the Lord through means of Assaph and his brethren.
8 Whakawhetai atu ki a Ihowa, karanga ki tona ingoa; whakapuakina ana mahi ki waenganui o nga iwi.
O give thanks unto the Lord; call on his name; make known among the people his deeds.
9 Waiata ki a ia, himene ki a ia; korerotia ana mahi whakamiharo katoa.
Sing unto him, sing praises unto him: speak of all his wonderful works.
10 Kia whakamanamana koutou ki tona ingoa tapu: kia hari nga ngakau o te hunga e rapu ana i a Ihowa.
Glorify yourselves in his holy name: let the heart of those rejoice that seek the Lord.
11 Rapua a Ihowa, me tona kaha; rapua tonutia tona mata.
Inquire after the Lord and his strength: seek his presence evermore.
12 Maharatia ana mahi whakamiharo i mahi ai ia; ana merekara, me nga whakaritenga a tona mangai;
Remember his wonderful works which he hath done, his tokens, and the decrees of his mouth;
13 E nga uri o Iharaira, o tana pononga, e nga tama a Hakopa, e ana i whiriwhiri ai.
O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his elect.
14 Ko Ihowa ia, ko to tatou Atua: kei te whenua katoa ana whakaritenga.
He is the Lord our God: over all the earth are his decrees.
15 Maharatia tonutia tana kawenata, te kupu i kiia iho e ia ki te mano o nga whakatupuranga;
Remember ye for ever his covenant, the word which he hath commanded to the thousandth generation.
16 Te kawenata i whakarite ai ia ki a Aperahama, tana oati hoki ki a Ihaka;
Which he covenanted with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
17 A whakapumautia iho hei tikanga ki a Hakopa, hei kawenata mau tonu ki a Iharaira:
And which he established unto Jacob as a statute, unto Israel as an everlasting covenant;
18 I a ia i mea ra, Ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe te whenua o Kanaana hei wahi pumau mo koutou:
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, as the portion of your inheritance;
19 I te mea e torutoru ana ano koutou; ae, e tokoiti rawa ana, he manene hoki ki reira;
When ye were but few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
20 I a ratou e haereere ana i tenei iwi ki tera atu iwi, i tetahi rangatiratanga ki tetahi iwi ke.
And when they wandered from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people:
21 Kihai ratou i tukua e ia kia tukinotia e te tangata; ae ra, i riria e ia nga kingi, he whakaaro ki a ratou;
He suffered no man to oppress them; yea, he reproved kings for their sake.
22 I mea ia, Kei pa ki aku i whakawahi ai, kei kino hoki ki aku poropiti.
Saying, “Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm.”—
23 Waiata, e te whenua katoa ki a Ihowa; kauwhautia tana mahi whakaora i tena rangi, i tena rangi.
Sing unto the Lord all ye lands: announce from day to day his salvation.
24 Whakapuakina tona kororia i waenganui i nga tauiwi, ana mahi whakamiharo i waenganui i nga iwi katoa.
Relate among the nations his glory: among all the people his wonderful deeds.
25 He nui hoki a Ihowa, kia nui te whakamoemiti ki a ia; kia wehingia nuitia atu hoki ia i nga atua katoa.
For great is the Lord, and greatly praised; and he is to be feared above all gods.
26 He whakapakoko hoki nga atua katoa o nga iwi: na Ihowa ia i hanga nga rangi.
For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord hath made the heavens.
27 He honore, he kingitanga kei tona aroaro; kei tona wahi te kaha me te koa.
Majesty and honor are in his presence, strength and gladness are in his place.
28 Tukua ki a Ihowa, e nga hapu o nga iwi, tukua ki a Ihowa te kororia me te kaha.
Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye families of people, ascribe unto the Lord glory and strength.
29 Tukua atu ki a Ihowa te kororia e tika ana mo tona ingoa: maua mai he whakahere, haere mai ki tona aroaro: koropiko ki a Ihowa i roto i te ataahua o te tapu.
Ascribe unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; take up an offering, and come into his presence; bow down before the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
30 Kia wehi ra ki tona aroaro, e te whenua katoa: e u ano te ano, te taea te whakanekeneke.
Tremble before him, all ye lands! Also the world standeth firmly, that it be not moved.
31 Kia hari nga rangi, kia koa te whenua; kia mea ratou i roto i nga iwi, Ko Ihowa te kingi.
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; and let men say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.
32 Kia haruru te moana, me nga mea e hua ana i roto; kia koa te mara, me nga mea katoa i runga:
Let the sea roar, with all that filleth it: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
33 Ko reira nga rakau o te ngahere waiata ai i te hari i te aroaro o Ihowa, e haere mai ana hoki ia ki te whakarite i runga i te whenua.
Then shall the trees of the forest sing joyfully at the presence of the Lord; because he cometh to judge the earth.
34 Whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, he pai hoki ia, he pumau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.
O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; because unto everlasting endureth his kindness.
35 Mea atu hoki, Whakaorangia matou, e te Atua o to matou whakaoranga, kohikohia matou, whakaorangia matou i nga tauiwi, kia whakawhetai ai matou ki tou ingoa tapu, kia whakamanamana ai ki tou whakamoemititanga.
And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, to glorify ourselves in thy praise.
36 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira ake nei, a ake nei. Na ka mea te iwi katoa, Amine; a whakamoemiti ano ratou ki a Ihowa.
Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from everlasting even unto everlasting. And all the people said, Amen, and praise unto the Lord.
37 Heoi ka waiho e ia i reira, i mua i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, a Ahapa ratou ko ona teina, hei minita tonu ki mua i te aaka, i nga meatanga o tenei ra, o tenei ra:
And he left there in charge before the ark of the covenant of the Lord Assaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, at the work of every day on its day,
38 A Opereeroma me o ratou teina, e ono tekau ma waru; a Opereeroma hoki tama a Ierutunu, raua ko Hoha hei kaitiaki tatau;
And 'Obed-edom with their brethren, sixty and eight, and 'Obed-edom the son of Jeduthun and Chossah to be gatekeepers;
39 Ko Haroko tohunga me ona teina, me nga tohunga, ki mua o te tapenakara o Ihowa i te wahi tiketike i Kipeono,
And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord, in the high-place that was at Gib'on,
40 Hei whakaeke tonu i nga tahunga tinana ma Ihowa ki runga ki te aata tahunga tinana i te ata, i te ahiahi, hei mea i nga mea katoa i tuhituhia ki te ture a Ihowa, i whakahaua e ia ki a Iharaira;
To offer burnt-offerings unto the Lord upon the altar of the burnt-offering continually at morning and at evening, and this in accordance with all that is written in the law of the Lord which he had commanded concerning Israel;
41 A, hei hoa mo ratou a Hemana raua ko Ierutunu, me era atu i whiriwhiria, i whakahuatia nei nga ingoa, hei whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, no te mea he pumau tonu tana mahi tohu;
And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were selected who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the Lord, because unto everlasting endureth his kindness;
42 Hei hoa hoki mo ratou a Hemana raua ko Ierutunu me nga tetere me nga himipora ma nga kaiwhakatangi kaha, me nga whakatangi mo nga waiata a te Atua: a ko nga tama a Ierutunu hei kaitiaki kuwaha.
And with them, with Heman and Jeduthun, the trumpets and cymbals to play aloud, and the musical instruments of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be for the service at the gate.
43 Na haere ana te iwi katoa ki tona whare, ki tona whare; a hoki ana a Rawiri ki te manaaki i tona whare.
And all the people went every man to his house; and David turned about to bless his house.
