Første Krønikebog 15
1 Siden byggede han sig Huse i Davidsbyen og beredte Guds Ark et Sted, idet han rejste den et Telt.
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 Ved den Lejlighed sagde David: »Ingen andre end Leviterne maa bære Guds Ark, thi dem har HERREN udvalgt til at bære Guds Ark og til at gøre Tjeneste for ham til evig Tid.«
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 Og David samlede hele Israel i Jerusalem for at føre HERRENS Ark op til det Sted, han havde beredt den.
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 Og David samlede Arons Sønner og Leviterne:
And the sons of Aaron also, and the Levites.
5 Af Kehatiterne Øversten Uriel og hans Brødre, 120;
Of the children of Caath, Uriel was the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty.
6 af Merariterne Øversten Asaja og hans Brødre, 220;
Of the sons of Merari, Asaia the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty.
7 af Gersoniterne Øversten Joel og hans Brødre, 130;
Of the sons of Gersom, Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty.
8 af Elizafans Sønner Øversten Sjemaja og hans Brødre, 200;

Of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief: and his brethren eighty.
10 af Uzziels Sønner Øversten Amminadab og hans Brødre, 112.
Of the sons of Oziel, Aminadab the chief: and his brethren a hundred and twelve.
11 Saa lod David Præsterne Zadok og Ebjatar og Leviterne Uriel, Asaja, Joel, Sjemaja, Eliel og Amminadab kalde
And David called Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, and the Levites, Uriel, Asaia, Joel, Semeia, Eliel, and Aminadab:
12 og sagde til dem: »I er Overhoveder for Leviternes Fædrenehuse; helliger eder tillige med eders Brødre og før HERRENS, Israels Guds, Ark op til det Sted, jeg har beredt den;
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 det var jo, fordi I ikke var med første Gang, at HERREN vor Gud tilføjede os et Brud; thi vi søgte ham ikke paa rette Maade.«
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 Saa helligede Præsterne og Leviterne sig for at føre HERRENS, Israels Guds, Ark op;
So the priests and the Levites were sanctified, to carry the ark of the Lord the God of Israel.
15 og Levis Sønner løftede med Bærestængerne Guds Ark op paa Skuldrene, som Moses havde paabudt efter HERRENS Ord.
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 Fremdeles bød David Leviternes Øverster at lade deres Brødre Sangerne stille sig op med Musikinstrumenter, Harper, Citre og Cymbler og lade høje Jubeltoner klinge.
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 Saa lod Leviterne Heman, Joels Søn, og af hans Brødre Asaf, Berekjas Søn, og af deres Brødre Merariterne Etan, Kusjajas Søn, stille sig op
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 og ved Siden af dem deres Brødre af anden Rang Zekarja, Uzziel, Sjemiramot, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaja, Ma'aseja, Mattitja, Elipelehu og Miknejahu og Dørvogterne Obed-Edom og Je'iel;

19 Sangerne Heman, Asaf og Etan skulde spille paa Kobbercymbler,
Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, sounded with cymbals of brass.

And Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias and Obededom, and Jehiel and Ozaziu, sung a song of victory for the octave upon harps.
22 Konanja, Leviternes Øverste over dem, der bar, skulde lede disse, da han forstod sig derpaa;
And Chonenias chief of the Levites, presided over the prophecy, to give out the tunes: for he was very skillful.
23 Berekja og Elkana skulde være Dørvogtere ved Arken;
And Barachias, and Elcana, were doorkeepers of the ark.
24 Præsterne Sjebanja, Josjafat, Netan'el, Amasaj, Zekarja, Benaja og Eliezer skulde blæse i Trompeterne foran Guds Ark; og Obed-Edom og Jehija skulde være Dørvogtere ved Arken.
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 Derpaa drog David, Israels Ældste og Tusindførerne hen for under Festglæde at lade HERRENS Pagts Ark bringe op fra Obed-Edoms Hus,
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 og da Gud hjalp Leviterne, der har HERRENS Pagts Ark, ofrede man syv Tyre og syv Vædre.
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 har en fin linned Kappe, ligeledes alle Leviterne, der har Arken, og Sangerne og Konanja, som ledede dem, der bar. Og David var iført en linned Efod.
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 Og hele Israel bragte HERRENS Pagts Ark op under Festjubel og til Hornets, Trompeternes og Cymblernes Klang, under Harpe— og Citerspil.
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 Men da HERRENS Pagts Ark kom til Davidsbyen, saa Sauls Datter Mikal ud af Vinduet, og da hun saa Kong David springe og danse, ringeagtede hun ham i sit Hjerte.
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.
