1Ko ia naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae ʻOtua, mo tuku ia ʻi he loto fale fehikitaki ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ki ai ʻe Tevita: pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
1They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
2Pea ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi ʻe Tevita ʻae ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻae kakai ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova.
2When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the LORD’s name.
3Pea naʻa ne tufaki ki he kakai taki taha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he tangata mo e fefine fakatouʻosi, ke taki taha haʻane foʻi mā, mo e konga kanomate lahi, mo e ipu uaine ʻe taha.
3He gave to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.
4¶ Pea naʻa ne fakanofo ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kau Livai ke tauhi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, pea ke fai ʻae tohi fakamanatu, pea ke fai ʻae fakafetaʻi mo e fakamālō kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli:
4He appointed some of the Levites to minister before the LORD’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel:
5Ko honau ʻeiki ʻa ʻAsafi, pea hoko mo ia ʻa Sakalia, mo Sieli, mo Similamoti, mo Sehieli, mo Matitia, mo ʻIliapi, mo Penaia, mo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi: pea naʻe ʻia Sieli ʻae ngaahi ūtete mo e ngaahi haʻape; ka naʻe ʻia ʻAsafi ʻae fakaongo ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa pakihi;
5Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;
6Pea naʻe ʻia Penaia foki mo Seesieli ko e ongo taulaʻeiki ʻae ngaahi meʻalea maʻuaipē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae ʻOtua.
6with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
7¶ Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe fuofua ʻatu ʻe Tevita ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo ʻAsafi pea mo hono kāinga.
7Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to the LORD by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
8Mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ui ki hono huafa, fakaongoongo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai ʻa ʻene ngaahi ngāue.
8Oh give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples.
9Mou hiva kiate ia, hiva ʻaki ʻae ngaahi saame kiate ia, mou fetalanoaʻaki ʻa ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo.
9Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
10Mou vikiviki ʻi hono huafa māʻoniʻoni: tuku ke fiefia ʻae loto ʻokinautolu, ʻoku kumi kia Sihova.
10Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
11Mou kumi kia Sihova pea mo ʻene mālohi, mou kumi maʻuaipē ki hono fofonga.
11Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
12Manatu ki heʻene ngaahi ngāue fakamanavahē ʻaia kuo ne fai, ʻa ʻene ngaahi meʻa fakaofo, pea mo e fakamaau mei hono fofonga:
12Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
13ʻAkimoutolu ʻae hako ʻo ʻIsileli ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻakimoutolu ʻae fānau ʻa Sekope, ʻae kakai kuo ne fili.
13you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14Ko ia ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi māmani kotoa pē ʻa ʻene ngaahi fakamaau.
14He is the LORD our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
15Mou manatu maʻuaipē ki heʻene fuakava; ʻae folofola ko ia naʻa ne fekau ʻaki ki he toʻutangata ʻe afe;
15Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
16ʻAia naʻa ne fai mo ʻEpalahame, pea mo ʻene fuakava kia ʻAisake;
16the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
17Pea kuo ne fakapapau ia kia Sekope ko e fono tuʻumaʻu, pea ko e fuakava taʻengata ki ʻIsileli.
17He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18ʻI heʻene pehē, “Ko koe te u foaki ki ai ʻae fonua ko Kēnani, ko e tufakanga ʻo homou tofiʻa;”
18saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”
19Lolotonga ʻa hoʻomou tokosiʻi pe, ʻio, ko e tokosiʻi pe, pea ko e kau muli pe ʻi ai.
19when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
20Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu fano mei he fonua ʻe taha ki ha fonua kehe, pea mei he puleʻanga ʻe taha ki ha kakai kehe;
20They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
21Naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ke fai taʻetotonu kiate kinautolu ʻe ha tokotaha: naʻa mo e ngaahi tuʻi naʻa ne valokiʻi koeʻuhi ko kinautolu,
21He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
22Mo ne pehē , “ʻOua naʻa ala kiate ia kuo u pani ʻaki ʻae lolo, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ha kovi ki hoku kau palōfita.”
22“Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
23Ke hiva kia Sihova, ʻa māmani kātoa; fakahāhā atu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻa ʻene fakamoʻui.
23Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.
24Fanongonongo ʻa ʻene nāunauʻia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai hiteni; mo ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaofo lahi ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
24Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.
25He ʻoku lahi ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku taau mo ia ʻae fakafetaʻi lahi: ʻoku taau mo ia foki ʻae manavahē ke lahi hake ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē.
25For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.
26He ko e ngaahi tamapua pe ʻae ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai: ka naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi langi.
26For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
27ʻOku ʻi hono ʻao ʻoʻona ʻae nāunau, mo e ʻapasia; ʻoku ʻi hono nofoʻanga ʻae mālohi mo e fiefia.
27Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
28ʻAtu kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga kakai, ʻatu kia Sihova ʻae nāunau mo e mālohi.
28Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
29ʻAtu kia Sihova ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoku taau mo hono huafa: ʻomi ha feilaulau, pea haʻu ki hono ʻao: lotu kia Sihova ʻi he matamatalelei ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.
29Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship the LORD in holy array.
30Ke manavahē kiate ia ʻa māmani kotoa pē: ʻe nofomaʻu foki ʻa māmani ke ʻoua naʻa ngaue ia.
30Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.
31Tuku ke fiefia ʻae ngaahi langi, pea tuku ke nekeneka ʻa māmani: pea tuku ke pehē ʻe he kakai ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, “ʻOku pule ʻa Sihova.”
31Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!”
32Ke ʻuʻulu ʻae tahi, pea mo hono fonu ʻo ia: ke fiefia ʻae ngaahi tokanga ngoue mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai.
32Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
33ʻE toki pā atu ʻae hiva ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau ʻoe vao ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, koeʻuhi ʻoku ne hāʻele mai ke fakamaau ʻa māmani.
33Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.
34Mou tuku ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova he ʻoku ne angalelei; pea ʻoku taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa.
34Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
35Pea mou pehē, “Fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu, ʻa koe ko e ʻOtua ʻo homau fakamoʻui, pea tānaki fakataha ʻakimautolu, pea fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei he hiteni, koeʻuhi ke mau ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ki ho huafa māʻoniʻoni, pea mau vikiviki ʻi he fakamālō kiate koe.”
35Say, “Save us, God of our salvation! Gather us together and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise.”
36Ke fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kakai kotoa pē, “ʻEmeni,” mo nau fai ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.
36Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD.
37¶ Ko ia naʻa ne tuku ʻa ʻAsafi mo hono kāinga ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke tauhi maʻuaipē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha ʻoe fuakava, ʻo hangē ko e ngāue naʻe totonu ke fai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē:
37So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the LORD’s covenant, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;
38Mo ʻOpeti-ʻItomi mo honau kāinga, ko e toko onongofulu ma valu; ka ko e kau leʻo matapā ʻa ʻOpeti-ʻItomi ko e foha ʻo Situtuni, pea mo Hosa:
38and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
39Pea ko Satoki ko e taulaʻeiki, pea mo hono ngaahi kāinga ko e kau taulaʻeiki, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova ʻi he potu māʻolunga ʻaia naʻe ʻi Kipione,
39and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before the LORD’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,
40Ke nau ʻohake ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova ʻi he funga feilaulauʻanga ʻoe feilaulau tutu maʻuaipē ʻi he pongipongi mo e efiafi, pea ke fai ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ki ʻIsileli;
40to offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the LORD’s law, which he commanded to Israel;
41Pea naʻe fakataha mo kinautolu ʻa Hemani mo Situtuni mo kinautolu naʻe fili, ʻakinautolu naʻe lau ʻa honau hingoa, ke fai ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa ʻoku taʻengata;
41and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his loving kindness endures forever;
42Pea fakataha mo kinautolu ʻa Hemani mo Situtuni mo ʻena ngaahi meʻalea mo ʻena ngaahi meʻa pakihi koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻe hiva ki he ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa fasi hiva. Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Situtuni ko e kau leʻo matapā ʻakinautolu.
42and 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.
43Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai, ko e tangata taki taha ki hono fale ʻoʻona: pea naʻe ʻalu foki ʻa Tevita ke ne tāpuakiʻi ʻa hono fale.
43All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
