1 Chronicles 15
1 David constructed buildings for himself in the City of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it.
Davide atadzimangira nyumba zina mu Mzinda wa Davide, iye anakonza malo a Bokosi la Mulungu ndipo analimangira tenti.
2 Then David said, “No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, because the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of the LORD and to minister before Him forever.”
Pamenepo Davide anati, “Palibe wina ati anyamule Bokosi la Mulungu koma Alevi chifukwa Yehova anawasankha kuti azinyamula Bokosi la Yehova ndi kumatumikira pamaso pake nthawi zonse.”
3 And David assembled all Israel in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD to the place he had prepared for it.
Davide anasonkhanitsa Aisraeli onse mu Yerusalemu kuti abweretse Bokosi la Yehova ku malo amene analikonzera.
4 Then he gathered together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites:
Iye anayitanitsa pamodzi zidzukulu za Aaroni ndi Alevi:
5 From the Kohathites, Uriel the chief and 120 of his relatives;
kuchokera ku banja la Kohati, mtsogoleri Urieli ndi abale ake 120.
6 from the Merarites, Asaiah the chief and 220 of his relatives;
Kuchokera ku banja la Merari, mtsogoleri Asaya ndi abale ake 220;
7 from the Gershomites, Joel the chief and 130 of his relatives;
kuchokera ku banja la Geresomu, mtsogoleri Yoweli ndi abale ake 130;
8 from the Elizaphanites, Shemaiah the chief and 200 of his relatives;
kuchokera ku banja la Elizafani, mtsogoleri Semaya ndi abale ake 200;
9 from the Hebronites, Eliel the chief and 80 of his relatives;
kuchokera ku banja la Hebroni, mtsogoleri Elieli ndi abale ake 80;
10 and from the Uzzielites, Amminadab the chief and 112 of his relatives.
kuchokera ku banja la Uzieli, mtsogoleri Aminadabu ndi abale ake 112.
11 David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
Kenaka Davide anayitanitsa ansembe Zadoki ndi Abiatara, ndi Alevi awa, Urieli, Asaya, Yoweli, Semaya, Elieli ndi Aminadabu.
12 And he said to them, “You are the heads of the Levitical families. You and your relatives must consecrate yourselves so that you may bring the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, to the place I have prepared for it.
Iye anawawuza kuti, “Inu ndinu atsogoleri a mabanja a Alevi ndipo inu ndi abale anu Alevi mudziyeretse nokha ndi kubweretsa Bokosi la Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli ku malo amene ine ndalikonzera.
13 It was because you Levites were not with us the first time that the LORD our God burst forth in anger against us. For we did not consult Him about the proper order.”
Popeza kuti inu Alevi simunalinyamule poyamba paja, Yehova Mulungu wathu anatikantha. Sitinafunse momwe tikanachitira monga mmene Iyeyo anafotokozera.”
14 So the priests and Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Kotero ansembe ndi Alevi anadziyeretsa ndi cholinga chakuti akatenge Bokosi la Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli.
15 And the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles, as Moses had commanded in accordance with the word of the LORD.
Ndipo Alevi ananyamula Bokosi la Mulungu pa mapewa awo pa mitengo yake yonyamulira monga momwe Mose analamulira molingana ndi mawu a Yehova.
16 David also told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their relatives as singers to lift up their voices with joy, accompanied by musical instruments—harps, lyres, and cymbals.
Davide anawuza atsogoleri a Alevi kuti asankhe abale awo kuti akhale oyimba nyimbo zachisangalalo, zoyimba ndi zida: azeze, apangwe ndi ziwaya za malipenga.
17 So the Levites appointed Heman son of Joel; from his brothers, Asaph son of Berechiah; from their brothers the Merarites, Ethan son of Kushaiah;
Kotero Alevi anasankha Hemani mwana wa Yoweli; ndipo mwa abale ake anasankha Asafu mwana wa Berekiya; ndipo mwa ana a Merari, abale awo, anasankha Etani mwana wa Kusaya;
18 and with them their brothers next in rank: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, and the gatekeepers Obed-edom and Jeiel.
ndipo pamodzi ndi iwowa abale awo otsatana nawo: Zekariya, Yaazieli, Semiramoti, Yehieli, Uni, Eliabu, Benaya, Maaseya, Matitiya, Elifelehu, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomu ndi Yeiyeli, alonda a pa chipata.
19 The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to sound the bronze cymbals.
Anthu oyimba aja Hemani, Asafu ndi Etani ndiwo ankayimba ziwaya za malipenga zamkuwa;
20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play the harps according to Alamoth.
Zekariya, Azieli, Semiramoti, Yehieli, Uni, Eliabu, Maaseya ndi Benaya ankayimba azeze a liwu lokwera;
21 And Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead the music with lyres according to Sheminith.
ndipo Matitiya, Elifelehu, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomu, Yeiyeli ndi Azaziya ankayimba apangwe a liwu lotsika.
22 Chenaniah the head Levite was the director of the music because he was highly skilled.
Kenaniya, mtsogoleri wa Alevi anali woyangʼanira mayimbidwe; uwu ndiye unali udindo wake pakuti anali waluso pa zimenezi.
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were to be guardians of the ark.
Berekiya ndi Elikana anali olondera pa khomo la bokosilo.
24 Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer—the priests—were to blow the trumpets before the ark of God. Obed-edom and Jehiah were also to be guardians of the ark.
Ansembe awa; Sebaniya, Yehosafati, Netaneli, Amasai, Zekariya, Benaya ndi Eliezara ndiwo ankayimba malipenga patsogolo pa Bokosi la Mulungu. Obedi-Edomu ndi Yehiya analinso alonda a pa khomo la bokosilo.
25 So David, the elders of Israel, and the commanders of thousands went with rejoicing to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-edom.
Choncho Davide pamodzi ndi akuluakulu a Israeli ndiponso asilikali olamulira magulu a anthu 1,000, anapita kukatenga Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova ku nyumba ya Obedi-Edomu akukondwera.
26 And because God helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
Popeza Mulungu anathandiza Alevi amene ananyamula Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova, anapereka nsembe ngʼombe zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri ndiponso nkhosa zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri.
27 Now David was dressed in a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, as well as the singers and Chenaniah, the director of music for the singers. David also wore a linen ephod.
Ndipo Davide anali atavala mkanjo wa nsalu yofewa yosalala, monga anavalira Alevi onse amene ananyamula bokosi pamodzi anthu oyimba, ndiponso Kenaniya, amene anali woyangʼanira magulu oyimba. Davide anavalanso efodi ya nsalu yofewa yosalala.
28 So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, with the sounding of rams’ horns and trumpets, and with cymbals and the music of harps and lyres.
Kotero Aisraeli onse anabweretsa Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova ndi mfuwu, ndiponso akuyimba zitoliro zanyanga zankhosa zazimuna, malipenga ndi maseche ndiponso akuyimba azeze ndi apangwe.
29 As the ark of the covenant of the LORD was entering the City of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from a window and saw King David dancing and celebrating, and she despised him in her heart.
Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova likulowa mu Mzinda wa Davide, Mikala mwana wamkazi wa Sauli ankaona ali pa zenera. Ndipo ataona Mfumu Davide ikuvina ndi kukondwera, iye ananyoza Davideyo mu mtima mwake.
