1 Ljetopisa 15

1 Onda je David sazidao dvore u Davidovu gradu, pripravio mjesto za Kovčeg Božji i razapeo mu Šator.

He made also houses for himself in the city of David: and built a place for the ark of God, and pitched a tabernacle for it.

2 Potom je rekao David: “Ne smije nositi Kovčeg Božji nitko osim levita, jer je njih izabrao Jahve da nose Kovčeg Jahvin i da mu služe dovijeka.”

Then David said: No one ought to carry the ark of God, but the Levites, whom the Lord hath chosen to carry it, and to minister unto himself for ever.

3 David je sakupio sav Izrael u Jeruzalem da prenesu Kovčeg Jahvin gore na njegovo mjesto koje mu bijaše pripravio.

And he gathered all Israel together into Jerusalem, that the ark of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for it.

4 Skupio je David i Aronove sinove i levite.

And the sons of Aaron also, and the Levites.

5 Od Kehatovih sinova: kneza Uriela i sto dvadeset njegove braće;

Of the children of Caath, Uriel was the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty.

6 od Merarijevih sinova: kneza Asaju i dvjesta dvadeset njegove braće;

Of the sons of Merari, Asaia the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty.

7 od Geršomovih sinova: kneza Joela i sto trideset njegove braće.

Of the sons of Gersom, Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty.

8 Od Elisafanovih sinova: kneza Šemaju i dvjesta njegove braće.

Of the sons of Elisaphan, Semeias the chief: and his brethren two hundred.

9 Od Hebronovih sinova: kneza Eliela i osamdeset njegove braće;

Of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief: and his brethren eighty.

10 od Uzielovih sinova: kneza Aminadaba i sto dvanaest njegove braće.

Of the sons of Oziel, Aminadab the chief: and his brethren a hundred and twelve.

11 Tada David pozva svećenike Sadoka i Ebjatara i levite Uriela, Asaju, Joela, Šemaju, Eliela i Aminadaba,

And David called Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, and the Levites, Uriel, Asaia, Joel, Semeia, Eliel, and Aminadab:

12 pa im reče: “Vi ste glavari levitskih porodica; posvetite sebe i svoju braću da prenesete gore Kovčeg Jahve, Izraelova Boga, na mjesto koje sam mu pripravio.

And he said to them: You that are the heads of the Levitical families, be sanctified with your brethren, and brine the ark of the Lord the God of Israel to the place, which is prepared for it:

13 Jer nas je pobio Jahve, Bog naš, zato što prvi put vi niste bili nazočni i što ga nismo tražili onako kako je trebalo.”

Lest as the Lord at first struck us, because you were not present, the same should now also come to pass, by our doing some thing against the law.

14 Posvetiše se tada svećenici i leviti da prenesu gore Kovčeg Jahve, Izraelova Boga.

So the priests and the Levites were sanctified, to carry the ark of the Lord the God of Israel.

15 Levitski su sinovi ponijeli Božji Kovčeg, na svojim ramenima, o motkama, kako je zapovjedio Mojsije po Jahvinoj riječi.

And the sons of Levi took the ark of God as Moses had commanded, according to the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders, with the staves.

16 Tada David reče levitskim knezovima da između svoje braće postave pjevače s glazbalima, s harfama, citrama i cimbalima da se čuje i da gromko odjekuje radosno pjevanje.

And David spoke to the chiefs of the Levites, to appoint some of their brethren to be singers with musical instruments, to wit, on psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, that the joyful noise might resound on high.

17 Leviti su postavili Joelova sina Hemana, a od njegove braće Berekjina sina Asafa, i od njihove braće, Merarijevih sinova, Kušajina sina Etana.

And they appointed Levites, Hemam the son of Joel, and of his brethren Asaph the son of Barachias: and of the sons of Merari, their brethren: Ethan the son of Casaia.

18 S njima njihovu braću drugoga reda: Zahariju, sina Jaazielova, Šemiramota, Jehiela, Unija, Eliaba, Benaju, Maaseju, Matitju, Eliflehua, Mikneju, Obed Edoma i Jeiela, vratare.

And with them their brethren: in the second rank, Zacharias, and Ben, and Jaziel, and Semiramoth, and Jahiel, and Ani, and Eliab, and Banaias, and Maasias, and Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias, and Obededom, and Jehiel, the porters.

19 A pjevači, Heman, Asaf i Etan gromko su udarali u mjedene cimbale.

Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, sounded with cymbals of brass.

20 A Zaharija, Uziel, Šemiramot, Jehiel, Uni, Eliab, Maaseja i Benaja u harfe s visokim zvucima;

And Zacharias, and Oziel, and Semiramoth, and Jehiel, and Ani, and Eliab, and Maasias, and Banaias, sung mysteries upon psalteries.

21 a Matitja, Eliflehu, Mikneja, Obed Edom, Jeiel i Azazja u citre, u osminskoj pratnji.

And Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias and Obededom, and Jehiel and Ozaziu, sung a song of victory for the octave upon harps.

22 Kenanja, knez onih levita koji su nosili Kovčeg, upravljao je prenošenjem jer je bio vješt u tome.

And Chonenias chief of the Levites, presided over the prophecy, to give out the tunes: for he was very skillful.

23 Berekja i Elkana bili su vratari kod Kovčega.

And Barachias, and Elcana, were doorkeepers of the ark.

24 Šebanija, Jošafat, Netanel, Amasaj, Zaharija, Benaja i Eliezer, svećenici, trubili su u trube pred Božjim Kovčegom; Obed Edom i Jehija bili su vratari kod Kovčega.

And Sebenias, and Josaphat, and Nathanael, and Amasai, and Zacharias, and Banaias, and Eliezer the priests, sounded with trumpets, before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehias were porters of the ark.

25 Tako je David s izraelskim starješinama i tisućnicima radosno išao prenoseći gore Kovčeg saveza Jahvina iz Obed-Edomove kuće.

So David and all the ancients of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the house of Obededom with joy.

26 Kad je Bog pomogao levitima koji su nosili Kovčeg saveza Jahvina, žrtvovali su sedam junaca i sedam ovnova.

And when God had helped the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, they offered in sacrifice seven oxen, and seven rams.

27 David bijaše ogrnut plaštem od tanka platna, a tako i svi leviti što su nosili Kovčeg, kao i pjevači i Kenanija koji je upravljao pjevačima. David je imao na sebi lanen oplećak.

And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that carried the ark, and the singing men, and Chonenias the ruler of the prophecy among the singers: and David also had on him an ephod of linen.

28 Tako je sav Izrael prenosio gore Kovčeg saveza Jahvina, radosno kličući uz jeku rogova, truba i cimbala, igrajući uza zvuke harfe i citre.

And all Israel brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord with joyful shouting, and sounding with the sound of the comet, and with trumpets, and cymbals, and psalteries, and harps.

29 Kad je Kovčeg saveza Jahvina ulazio u Davidov grad, Šaulova kći Mikala, gledajući s prozora, vidje kralja Davida kako skače i igra i prezre ga ona u svom srcu.

And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come to the city of David, Michol the daughter of Saul looking out at a window, saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
