1 Crônicas 16

1 Heoi, kawea ana e rātou te āka a te Atua, whakatūria ana ki waenganui o te tēneti i whakaarahia e Rāwiri mōna; ā, tāpaea ana e rātou he tahunga tinana, he whakahere mō te pai ki te aroaro o te Atua. 2 Ā, ka mutu tā Rāwiri whakaeke i ngā tahunga tinana, i ngā whakahere mō te pai, ka manaakitia e ia te iwi i runga i te ingoa o Ihowā. 3 I tuwhaina anō e ia mā ngā tāngata katoa o Īharaira, mā te tāne, mā te wahine, kotahi rohi taro mā tēnei, mā tēnei, tētahi wāhi kikokiko, me tētahi keke karepe whakamaroke.

4 I whakaritea anō e ia ētahi o ngā Rīwaiti hei minita ki mua i te āka a Ihowā, hei whakamahara, hei whakawhetai, hei whakamoemiti ki a Ihowā, ki te Atua o Īharaira. 5 Ko Āhapa hei tuatahi; i muri i a ia ko Hakaraia, ko Teiere, ko Hemirāmoto, ko Tehiere, ko Matitia, ko Eriapa, ko Penaia, ko Opere-Eroma, ko Teiere hoki ki ngā hātere, ki ngā hāpa, ko Āhapa hei whakatangi i ngā himipora; 6 ko Penaia hoki rāua ko Tahatiere, ko ngā tohunga, kia tūturu tonu tā rāua mau tētere ki mua i te āka o te kawenata a te Atua.

Te Waiata Whakamoemiti a Rāwiri

7 I reira anō i taua rā ka whakaritea tuatahitia e Rāwiri he whakamoemiti mō Ihowā, nā te ringa o Āhapa rātou ko ōna tēina.

8 Whakawhetai atu ki a Ihowā, karanga ki tōna ingoa;

whakapuakina āna mahi ki waenganui o ngā iwi.

9 Waiata ki a ia, hīmene ki a ia,

kōrerotia āna mahi whakamīharo katoa.

10 Kia whakamanamana koutou ki tōna ingoa tapu;

kia hari ngā ngākau o te hunga e rapu ana i a Ihowā.

11 Rapua a Ihowā, me tōna kaha,

rapua tonutia tōna mata.

12 Maharatia āna mahi whakamīharo i mahi ai ia;

āna merekara, me ngā whakaritenga a tōna māngai;

13 e ngā uri o Īharaira, o tāna pononga,

e ngā tama a Hākopa, e āna i whiriwhiri ai.

14 Ko Ihowā ia, ko tō tātou Atua;

kei te whenua katoa āna whakaritenga.

15 Maharatia tonutia tāna kawenata,

te kupu i kīia iho e ia ki te mano o ngā whakatupuranga;

16 te kawenata i whakarite ai ia ki a Āperahama,

tāna oati hoki ki a Īhaka;

17 ā, whakapūmautia iho hei tikanga ki a Hākopa,

hei kawenata mau tonu ki a Īharaira,

18 i a ia i mea rā, "Ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe te whenua o Kanaana

hei wāhi pūmau mō koutou."

19 I te mea e torutoru ana anō koutou;

āe, e tokoiti rawa ana, he manene hoki ki reira;

20 i a rātou e hāereere ana i tēnei iwi ki tērā atu iwi,

i tētahi rangatiratanga ki tētahi iwi kē.

21 Kīhai rātou i tukua e ia kia tūkinotia e te tangata;

āe rā, i rīria e ia ngā kīngi, he whakaaro ki a rātou.

22 I mea ia, "Kei pā ki āku i whakawahi ai,

kei kino hoki ki āku poropiti."

23 Waiata, e te whenua katoa ki a Ihowā;

kauwhautia tāna mahi whakaora i tēnā rangi, i tēnā rangi.

24 Whakapuakina tōna korōria i waenganui i ngā tauiwi,

āna mahi whakamīharo i waenganui i ngā iwi katoa.

25 He nui hoki a Ihowā, kia nui te whakamoemiti ki a ia;

kia wehingia nuitia atu hoki ia i ngā atua katoa.

26 He whakapakoko hoki ngā atua katoa o ngā iwi;

nā Ihowā ia i hanga ngā rangi.

27 He hōnore, he kīngitanga kei tōna aroaro;

kei tōna wāhi te kaha me te koa.

28 Tukua ki a Ihowā, e ngā hapū o ngā iwi,

tukua ki a Ihowā te korōria me te kaha.

29 Tukua atu ki a Ihowā te korōria e tika ana mō tōna ingoa;

maua mai he whakahere, haere mai ki tōna aroaro.

Koropiko ki a Ihowā i roto i te ātaahua o te tapu;

30 kia wehi rā ki tōna aroaro, e te whenua katoa.

E ū anō te ao, tē taea te whakanekeneke.

31 Kia hari ngā rangi, kia koa te whenua;

kia mea rātou i roto i ngā iwi, "Ko Ihowā te kīngi!"

32 Kia haruru te moana, me ngā mea hua ana i roto;

kia koa te māra, me ngā mea katoa i runga!

33 Ko reira ngā rākau o te ngahere waiata ai

i te hari i te aroaro o Ihowā,

e haere mai ana hoki ia ki te whakarite i runga i te whenua.

34 Whakawhetai ki a Ihowā, he pai hoki ia,

he pūmau tonu hoki tāna mahi tohu.

35 Mea atu hoki: "Whakaorangia mātou, e te Atua o tō mātou whakaoranga,

kohikohia mātou, whakaorangia mātou i ngā tauiwi,

kia whakawhetai ai mātou ki tōu ingoa tapu,

kia whakamanamana ai ki tōu whakamoemititanga.

36 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowā, te Atua o Īharaira

ake nei, ā ake nei!"

Nā, ka mea te iwi katoa, "Āmine!" ā, whakamoemiti ana rātou ki a Ihowā.

Te Koropiko kei Hiruhārama me Kipeono

37 Heoi, ka waiho e ia i reira, i mua i te āka o te kawenata a Ihowā, a Āhapa rātou ko ōna tēina, hei minita tonu ki mua i te āka, i ngā meatanga o tēnei rā, o tēnei rā, 38 a Opere-Eroma me ō rātou tēina, e ono tekau mā waru; a Opere-Eroma hoki tama a Ierutunu, rāua ko Hōha hei kaitiaki tatau.

39 Ko Hāroko tohunga me ōna tēina, me ngā tohunga, ki mua o te tapenākara o Ihowā i te wāhi tiketike i Kipeono, 40 hei whakaeke tonu i ngā tahunga tinana mā Ihowā ki runga ki te āta tahunga tinana i te ata, i te ahiahi, hei mea i ngā mea katoa i tuhituhia ki te Ture a Ihowā, i whakahaua e ia ki a Īharaira. 41 Ā, hei hoa mō rātou a Hēmana rāua ko Ierutunu, me ērā atu i whiriwhiria, i whakahuatia nei ngā ingoa, hei whakawhetai ki a Ihowā, nō te mea he pūmau tonu tāna mahi tohu. 42 Hei hoa hoki mō rātou a Hēmana rāua ko Ierutunu me ngā tētere me ngā himipora mā ngā kaiwhakatangi kaha, me ngā whakatangi mō ngā waiata a te Atua. Ā, ko ngā tama a Ierutunu hei kaitiaki kūwaha.

43 Nā, haere ana te iwi katoa ki tōna whare, ki tōna whare, ā, hoki ana a Rāwiri ki te manaaki i tōna whare.

1 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 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah. 3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion of flesh, and a cake of raisins.

4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate and to thank and praise Jehovah, the God of Israel: 5 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, with psalteries and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud; 6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.

7 Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto Jehovah, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

8 O give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;

Make known his doings among the peoples.

9 Sing unto him, sing praises unto him;

Talk ye of all his marvellous works.

10 Glory ye in his holy name;

Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

11 Seek ye Jehovah and his strength;

Seek his face evermore.

12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done,

His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

13 O ye seed of Israel his servant,

Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

14 He is Jehovah our God;

His judgments are in all the earth.

15 Remember his covenant for ever,

The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

16 The covenant which he made with Abraham,

And his oath unto Isaac,

17 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute,

To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,

The lot of your inheritance;

19 When ye were but a few men in number,

Yea, very few, and sojourners in it;

20 And they went about from nation to nation,

And from one kingdom to another people.

21 He suffered no man to do them wrong;

Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones,

And do my prophets no harm.

23 Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth;

Show forth his salvation from day to day.

24 Declare his glory among the nations,

His marvellous works among all the peoples.

25 For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised:

He also is to be feared above all gods.

26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols:

But Jehovah made the heavens.

27 Honor and majesty are before him:

Strength and gladness are in his place.

28 Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples,

Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength;

29 Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name:

Bring an offering, and come before him;

Worship Jehovah in holy array.

30 Tremble before him, all the earth:

The world also is established that it cannot be moved.

31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;

And let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth.

32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

Let the field exult, and all that is therein;

33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy before Jehovah;

For he cometh to judge the earth.

34 O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;

For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation,

And gather us together and deliver us from the nations,

To give thanks unto thy holy name,

And to triumph in thy praise.

36 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel,

From everlasting even to everlasting.

And all the people said, Amen, and praised Jehovah.

37 So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required; 38 and Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers; 39 and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon, 40 to offer burnt-offerings unto Jehovah upon the altar of burnt-offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of Jehovah, which he commanded unto Israel; 41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, because his lovingkindness endureth for ever; 42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate. 43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
