1 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.
Wakaliingiza sanduku la Mungu, na kuliweka katikati ya hema aliyoipiga Daudi kwa ajili yake; wakatoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani mbele za Mungu.
2 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.
Na Daudi alipokwisha kuitoa sadaka ya kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani, akawabariki watu kwa jina la Bwana.
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 .
Kisha akawagawia kila mtu wa Israeli, waume kwa wake, kila mtu mkate wa ngano, na kipande cha nyama, na mkate wa zabibu.
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:
Akawaagiza baadhi ya Walawi kwamba watumike mbele ya sanduku la Bwana, wamfanyie ukumbusho, na shukrani, na sifa, Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli;
5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;
Asafu mkuu wao, na wa pili wake Zekaria, na Yeieli, na Shemiramothi, na Yehieli, na Matithiya, na Eliabu, na Benaya, na Obed-edomu, na Yeieli, wenye vinanda na vinubi; naye Asafu mwenye kupiga matoazi;
6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
nao makuhani Benaya na Yahazieli wenye baragumu daima, mbele ya sanduku la agano la Mungu.
Psalm of Praise
7 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
Ndipo siku hiyo Daudi alipoagiza kwanza kumshukuru Bwana, kwa mkono wa Asafu na nduguze.
8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name,
Make known his deeds among the people.
Mshukuruni Bwana, liitieni jina lake; Wajulisheni watu matendo yake.
9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him,
Talk ye of all his wondrous works.
Mwimbieni, mwimbieni kwa zaburi; Zitafakarini ajabu zake zote.
10 Glory ye in his holy name:
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
Jisifuni kwa jina lake takatifu; Na ufurahi moyo wao wamtafutao Bwana.
11 Seek the LORD and his strength,
Seek his face continually.
Mtakeni Bwana na nguvu zake; Utafuteni uso wake siku zote.
12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done,
His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
Zikumbukeni ajabu zake alizozifanya; Miujiza yake na hukumu za kinywa chake;
13 O ye seed of Israel his servant,
Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
Enyi wazao wa Israeli, mtumishi wake, Enyi wana wa Yakobo, wateule wake.
14 He is the LORD our God;
His judgments are in all the earth.
Yeye, Bwana, ndiye Mungu wetu; Duniani mwote mna hukumu zake.
15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant;
The word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
Likumbukeni agano lake milele, Neno lile aliloviamuru vizazi elfu.
16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham,
And of his oath unto Isaac;
Agano alilofanya na Ibrahimu, Na uapo wake kwa Isaka;
17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law,
And to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Alilomthibitishia Yakobo kuwa amri, Na Israeli liwe agano la milele.
18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,
The lot of your inheritance;
Akisema, Nitakupa wewe nchi ya Kanaani, Iwe urithi wenu mliopimiwa;
19 When ye were but few,
Even a few, and strangers in it.
Mlipokuwa watu wawezao kuhesabiwa; Naam, watu wachache na wageni ndani yake.
20 And when they went from nation to nation,
And from one kingdom to another people;
Wakatanga-tanga toka taifa hata taifa, Toka ufalme mmoja hata kwa watu wengine.
21 He suffered no man to do them wrong:
Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Hakumwacha mtu awaonee; Hata wafalme aliwakemea kwa ajili yao;
22 Saying , Touch not mine anointed,
And do my prophets no harm.
Akisema, Msiwaguse masihi wangu, Wala msiwadhuru nabii zangu.
23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth;
Shew forth from day to day his salvation.
Mwimbieni Bwana, nchi yote; Tangazeni wokovu wake siku kwa siku.
24 Declare his glory among the heathen;
His marvellous works among all nations.
Wahubirini mataifa habari za utukufu wake, Na watu wote habari za maajabu yake.
25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised:
He also is to be feared above all gods.
Kwa kuwa Bwana ni mkuu mwenye kusifiwa sana; Na wa kuhofiwa kuliko miungu yote.
26 For all the gods of the people are idols:
But the LORD made the heavens.
Maana miungu yote ya watu si kitu; Lakini Bwana ndiye aliyezifanya mbingu.
27 Glory and honour are in his presence;
Strength and gladness are in his place.
Heshima na adhama ziko mbele zake; Nguvu na furaha zipo mahali pake.
28 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people,
Give unto the LORD glory and strength.
Mpeni Bwana, enyi jamaa za watu, Mpeni Bwana utukufu na nguvu.
29 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name:
Bring an offering, and come before him:
Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
Mpeni Bwana utukufu wa jina lake; Leteni sadaka, mje mbele zake; Mwabuduni Bwana kwa uzuri wa utakatifu;
30 Fear before him, all the earth:
The world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
Tetemekeni mbele zake, nchi yote.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice:
And let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.
Mbingu na zifurahi, nchi na ishangilie; Na waseme katika mataifa, Bwana ametamalaki;
32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof:
Let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
Bahari na ivume na vyote viijazavyo; Mashamba na yashangilie na vyote vilivyomo;
33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD,
Because he cometh to judge the earth.
Ndipo miti yote ya mwituni iimbe kwa furaha,
34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good;
For his mercy endureth for ever.
Mshukuruni Bwana kwa kuwa ni mwema; Kwa maana fadhili zake ni za 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.
Nanyi mkaseme, Ee Mungu wa wokovu wetu, utuokoe, Utukusanye kwa kututoa katika mataifa, Tulishukuru jina lako takatifu, Tuzifanyie shangwe 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 ahimidiwe Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, tangu milele hata milele. Na watu wote wakasema, Amina; wakamhimidi Bwana.
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:
Basi akawaacha huko, mbele ya sanduku la agano la Bwana, Asafu na nduguze, ili watumike mbele ya sanduku daima, kila siku kama ilivyokuwa kazi yake.
38 and Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:
Naye Obed-edomu, pamoja na ndugu zao, sitini na wanane; Obed-edomu na mwana wa Yeduthuni, na Hosa, wawe mabawabu;
39 and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,
na Sadoki kuhani, na nduguze makuhani, mbele ya maskani ya Bwana katika mahali pa juu palipokuwa huko Gibeoni,
40 to offer burnt offerings unto 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;
ili kumtolea Bwana sadaka za kuteketezwa juu ya madhabahu ya sadaka ya kuteketezwa daima asubuhi na jioni, naam, sawasawa na yote yaliyoandikwa katika torati ya Bwana, aliyowaamuru Israeli;
41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever;
na pamoja nao Hemani na Yeduthuni, na wale wengine waliochaguliwa, waliotajwa majina yao, ili kumshukuru Bwana, kwa kuwa fadhili zake ni za milele;
42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.
na pamoja nao Hemani na Yeduthuni wenye baragumu na matoazi, kwa hao watakaovumisha sauti, na vinanda kwa ajili ya hizo nyimbo za Mungu; na hao wana wa Yeduthuni wawepo mlangoni.
43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
Kisha watu wote wakaenda zao kila mtu nyumbani kwake; naye Daudi akarudi ili awabariki watu wa nyumbani mwake.
