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.
They brought in the ark of God and put it in the middle of the tent that David had set up for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and fellowship 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.
When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh.
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.
He distributed to every Israelite, both to men and women, a loaf of bread, and a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins.
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:
David appointed certain Levites to serve before the ark of Yahweh, and to celebrate, thank and praise Yahweh, 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:
These Levites were Asaph the leader, and second to him Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed Edom, and Jeiel. These were to play with stringed instruments and with harps. Asaph was to sound the cymbals, sounding loudly.
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.
Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow the trumpets regularly, 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.
Then on that day David first appointed Asaph and his brothers to sing this song of thanksgiving to Yahweh.
8 Whakawhetai atu ki a Ihowa, karanga ki tona ingoa; whakapuakina ana mahi ki waenganui o nga iwi.
Give thanks to Yahweh, call on his name; make known his deeds among the nations.
9 Waiata ki a ia, himene ki a ia; korerotia ana mahi whakamiharo katoa.
Sing to him, sing praises to him; speak of all his marvelous deeds.
10 Kia whakamanamana koutou ki tona ingoa tapu: kia hari nga ngakau o te hunga e rapu ana i a Ihowa.
Boast in his holy name; let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
11 Rapua a Ihowa, me tona kaha; rapua tonutia tona mata.
Seek Yahweh and his strength; seek his presence continually.
12 Maharatia ana mahi whakamiharo i mahi ai ia; ana merekara, me nga whakaritenga a tona mangai;
Recall the marvelous things he has done, his miracles and the decrees from his mouth,
13 E nga uri o Iharaira, o tana pononga, e nga tama a Hakopa, e ana i whiriwhiri ai.
you descendants of Israel his servant, you people of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 Ko Ihowa ia, ko to tatou Atua: kei te whenua katoa ana whakaritenga.
He is Yahweh, our God. His decrees are on all the earth.
15 Maharatia tonutia tana kawenata, te kupu i kiia iho e ia ki te mano o nga whakatupuranga;
Keep his covenant in mind forever, the word that he commanded for a thousand generations.
16 Te kawenata i whakarite ai ia ki a Aperahama, tana oati hoki ki a Ihaka;
He calls to mind the covenant that he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac.
17 A whakapumautia iho hei tikanga ki a Hakopa, hei kawenata mau tonu ki a Iharaira:
This is what he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, and to 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:
He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan as your share of your inheritance.”
19 I te mea e torutoru ana ano koutou; ae, e tokoiti rawa ana, he manene hoki ki reira;
When they were only few in number, so very few, and they were strangers in the land,
20 I a ratou e haereere ana i tenei iwi ki tera atu iwi, i tetahi rangatiratanga ki tetahi iwi ke.
they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
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 did not allow anyone to oppress them; he punished kings for their sakes.
22 I mea ia, Kei pa ki aku i whakawahi ai, kei kino hoki ki aku poropiti.
he said, “Do not touch my anointed ones, and do not harm my prophets.”
23 Waiata, e te whenua katoa ki a Ihowa; kauwhautia tana mahi whakaora i tena rangi, i tena rangi.
Sing to Yahweh, all the earth; announce his salvation day after day.
24 Whakapuakina tona kororia i waenganui i nga tauiwi, ana mahi whakamiharo i waenganui i nga iwi katoa.
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all the nations.
25 He nui hoki a Ihowa, kia nui te whakamoemiti ki a ia; kia wehingia nuitia atu hoki ia i nga atua katoa.
For Yahweh is great and is to be praised greatly, and he is to be feared above all other gods.
26 He whakapakoko hoki nga atua katoa o nga iwi: na Ihowa ia i hanga nga rangi.
For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is Yahweh who made the heavens.
27 He honore, he kingitanga kei tona aroaro; kei tona wahi te kaha me te koa.
Splendor and majesty are in his presence. Strength and joy 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 to Yahweh, you clans of peoples, ascribe to Yahweh 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 to Yahweh the glory his name deserves. Bring an offering and come before him. Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor 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 the earth. The world also is established; it cannot be shaken.
31 Kia hari nga rangi, kia koa te whenua; kia mea ratou i roto i nga iwi, Ko Ihowa te kingi.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let them say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.”
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, and that which fills it shout with joy. Let the fields be joyful, and all that is in them.
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 let the trees in the forest shout for joy before Yahweh, for he is coming to judge the earth.
34 Whakawhetai ki a Ihowa, he pai hoki ia, he pumau tonu hoki tana mahi tohu.
Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
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.
Then say, “Save us, God of our salvation. Gather us together and rescue us from the other nations, so that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praises.”
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.
May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised from everlasting to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen” and praised Yahweh.
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:
So David left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to serve continually before the ark, as every day's work required.
38 A Opereeroma me o ratou teina, e ono tekau ma waru; a Opereeroma hoki tama a Ierutunu, raua ko Hoha hei kaitiaki tatau;
Obed Edom with those sixty-eight relatives were included. Obed Edom son of Jeduthun, along with Hosah, were 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,
Zadok the priest and his fellow priests were to serve before the tabernacle of Yahweh at the high place in Gibeon.
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;
They were to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar for burnt offerings continually morning and evening, according to all that is written in the law of Yahweh, which he gave as a command to 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;
Heman and Jeduthun were with them, together with the rest who were chosen by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, because his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
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.
Heman and Jeduthun were in charge of those who played trumpets, cymbals, and the other instruments for the sacred music. The sons of Jeduthun guarded 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.
Then all the people returned to their homes, and David returned to bless his own household.
