Første Krønikebog 15
1 Siden byggede han sig Huse i Davidsbyen og beredte Guds Ark et Sted, idet han rejste den et Telt
And [David] made for himself houses in the city of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and made a tent for it.
2 Ved den Lejlighed sagde David: "Ingen andre end Leviterne må bære Guds Ark, thi dem har HERREN udvalgt til at bære Guds Ark og til at gøre Tjeneste for ham til evig Tid."
Then said David, It is not [lawful for any] to bear the ark of God, but the Levites; for the Lord has chosen them to bear the ark of the Lord, and to minister to him for ever.
3 Og David samlede hele Israel i Jerusalem for at føre HERRENs Ark op til det Sted, han havde beredt den.
And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord to the place which he [had] prepared for it.
4 Og David samlede Arons Sønner og Leviterne:
And David gathered together the sons of Aaron the Levites.
5 Af Kehatiterne Øversten Uriel og hans Brødre, 120;
Of the sons of Caath; [there was] Uriel 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 Gedson; Joel the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and thirty.
8 af Elizafans Sønner Øversten Sjemaja og hans Brødre, 200;

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 Så 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, and Joel, and Semaia, and 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 said to them, You [are] the heads of the families of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, and you shall carry up the ark of the God of Israel, [to the place] which I have 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 på rette Måde."
For because you were not [ready] at the first, our God made a breach upon us, because we sought him not according to the ordinance.
14 Så helligede Præsferne og Leviterne sig for at føre HERRENs, Israels Guds, Ark op;
So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves, to bring up the ark of the God of Israel.
15 og Levis Sønner løftede med Bærestængerne Guds Ark op på Skuldrene, som Moses havde påbudt efter HERRENS Ord.
And the sons of the Levites took the ark of God, (as Moses commanded by the word of God according to the scripture) upon their shoulders with 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 said to the chiefs of the Levites, Set your brethren the singers with musical instruments, lutes, harps, and cymbals, to sound aloud with a voice of joy.
17 Så lod Leviterne Heman, Joels Søn, og af hans Brødre Asaf, Berekjas Søn, og af deres Brødre Merariterne Etan, Husjajas Søn, stille sig op
So the Levites appointed Aeman the son of Joel; Asaph the son of Barachias [was one] of his brethren; and Aethan the son of Kisaeus was of the sons of Merari their brethren;
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;
and with them their brethren of the second rank, Zacharias, and Oziel, and Semiramoth, and Jeiel, and Elioel, and Eliab, and Banaia, and Maasaia, and Matthathia, and Eliphena, and Makellia, and Abdedom, and Jeiel, and Ozias, the porters.
19 Sangerne Heman, Asaf og Etan skulde spille på Kobbercymbler,
And the singers, Aeman, Asaph, and Aethan, with brazen cymbals to make [a sound] to be heard.
20 Zekarja, Uzziel, Sjemiramot, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Ma'aseja og Benaja på Harper al-alamot;
Zacharias, and Oziel, Semiramoth, Jeiel, Oni, Eliab, Maasaeas, Banaeas, with lutes, on alaemoth.

And Mattathias, and Eliphalu, and Makenia, and Abdedom, and Jeiel, and Ozias, with harps of Amasenith, to make a loud noise.
22 Konanja, Leviternes Øverste over dem, der bar, skulde lede disse, da han forstod sig derpå;
And Chonenia chief of the Levites [was] master of the bands, because he was skillful.
23 Berekja og Elkana skulde være Dørvogtere ved Arken;
And Barachia 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 Somnia, and Josaphat, and Nathanael, and Amasai, and Zacharia, and Banaea, and Eliezer, the priests, were sounding with trumpets before the ark of God: and Abdedom and Jeia [were] doorkeepers of the ark of God.
25 Derpå drog David, Israels Ældste og Tusindførerne hen for under Festglæde at lade HERRENs Pagts Ark bringe op fra Obed-Edoms Hus,
So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains of thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant from the house of Abdedom with gladness.
26 og da Gud hjalp Leviterne, der har HERRENs Pagts Ark, ofrede man syv Tyre og syv Vædre.
And it came to pass when God strengthened the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that they sacrificed seven calves 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] girded with a fine linen robe, and all the Levites [who were] bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the singers, and Chonenias the master of the band of singers; also upon David [there was] a robe of fine 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 up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of a horn, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, playing loudly on lutes and harps.
29 Men da HERRENs Pagts Ark kom til Davidsbyen, så Sauls Datter Mikal ud af Vinduet, og da hun så Kong David springe og danse, ringeagtede hun ham i sit Hjerte.
And the ark of the covenant of the Lord arrived, and came to the city of David; and Melchol the daughter of Saul looked down through the window, and saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
