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.
Siden byggede han sig Huse i Davidsbyen og beredte Guds Ark et Sted, idet han rejste den et Telt.
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.”
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.«
3 And David assembled all Israel in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD to the place he had prepared for it.
Og David samlede hele Israel i Jerusalem for at føre HERRENS Ark op til det Sted, han havde beredt den.
4 Then he gathered together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites:
Og David samlede Arons Sønner og Leviterne:
5 From the Kohathites, Uriel the chief and 120 of his relatives;
Af Kehatiterne Øversten Uriel og hans Brødre, 120;
6 from the Merarites, Asaiah the chief and 220 of his relatives;
af Merariterne Øversten Asaja og hans Brødre, 220;
7 from the Gershomites, Joel the chief and 130 of his relatives;
af Gersoniterne Øversten Joel og hans Brødre, 130;
8 from the Elizaphanites, Shemaiah the chief and 200 of his relatives;
af Elizafans Sønner Øversten Sjemaja og hans Brødre, 200;
9 from the Hebronites, Eliel the chief and 80 of his relatives;
af Hebrons Sønner Øversten Eliel og hans Brødre, 80;
10 and from the Uzzielites, Amminadab the chief and 112 of his relatives.
af Uzziels Sønner Øversten Amminadab og hans Brødre, 112.
11 David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
Saa lod David Præsterne Zadok og Ebjatar og Leviterne Uriel, Asaja, Joel, Sjemaja, Eliel og Amminadab kalde
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.
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;
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.”
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.«
14 So the priests and Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Saa helligede Præsterne og Leviterne sig for at føre HERRENS, Israels Guds, Ark op;
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.
og Levis Sønner løftede med Bærestængerne Guds Ark op paa Skuldrene, som Moses havde paabudt efter HERRENS Ord.
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.
Fremdeles bød David Leviternes Øverster at lade deres Brødre Sangerne stille sig op med Musikinstrumenter, Harper, Citre og Cymbler og lade høje Jubeltoner klinge.
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;
Saa lod Leviterne Heman, Joels Søn, og af hans Brødre Asaf, Berekjas Søn, og af deres Brødre Merariterne Etan, Kusjajas Søn, stille sig op
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.
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 The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to sound the bronze cymbals.
Sangerne Heman, Asaf og Etan skulde spille paa Kobbercymbler,
20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play the harps according to Alamoth.
Zekarja, Uzziel, Sjemiramot, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Ma'aseja og Benaja paa Harper al-alamot;
21 And Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead the music with lyres according to Sheminith.
Mattitja, Elipelehu, Miknejahu, Obed-Edom og Je'iel skulde lede Sangen med Citre al-hassjeminit;
22 Chenaniah the head Levite was the director of the music because he was highly skilled.
Konanja, Leviternes Øverste over dem, der bar, skulde lede disse, da han forstod sig derpaa;
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were to be guardians of the ark.
Berekja og Elkana skulde være Dørvogtere ved Arken;
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.
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.
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.
Derpaa drog David, Israels Ældste og Tusindførerne hen for under Festglæde at lade HERRENS Pagts Ark bringe op fra Obed-Edoms Hus,
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.
og da Gud hjalp Leviterne, der har HERRENS Pagts Ark, ofrede man syv Tyre og syv Vædre.
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.
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.
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.
Og hele Israel bragte HERRENS Pagts Ark op under Festjubel og til Hornets, Trompeternes og Cymblernes Klang, under Harpe— og Citerspil.
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.
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.
