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.
Ary Davida nanao trano ho azy tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida sady namboatra fitoerana sy nanorin-day ho an’ ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra.
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.”
Ary tamin’ izay dia hoy Davida: Tsy misy tokony hitondra ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra afa-tsy ny Levita ihany, satria izy no efa nofidin’ i Jehovah hitondra ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra sy hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho Azy mandrakizay.
3 And David assembled all Israel in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD to the place he had prepared for it.
Dia novorin’ i Davida tany Jerosalema ny Isiraely rehetra hampakatra ny fiaran’ i Jehovah ho any amin’ ny fitoerana izay namboariny ho azy.
4 Then he gathered together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites:
Ary novorin’ i Davida ny taranak’ i Arona sy ny Levita:
5 From the Kohathites, Uriel the chief and 120 of his relatives;
tamin’ ny taranak’ i Kehata dia Oriela lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny roa-polo amby zato;
6 from the Merarites, Asaiah the chief and 220 of his relatives;
tamin’ ny taranak’ i Merary dia Asaia lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny roa-polo amby roan-jato;
7 from the Gershomites, Joel the chief and 130 of his relatives;
tamin’ ny taranak’ i Gersona dia Joela lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny telo-polo amby zato;
8 from the Elizaphanites, Shemaiah the chief and 200 of his relatives;
tamin’ ny taranak’ i Elizafana dia Semaia lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny roan-jato;
9 from the Hebronites, Eliel the chief and 80 of his relatives;
tamin’ ny taranak’ i Hebrona dia Eliala lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny valo-polo,
10 and from the Uzzielites, Amminadab the chief and 112 of his relatives.
tamin’ ny taranak’ i Oziela dia Aminadaba lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny roa ambin’ ny folo amby zato.
11 David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
Ary Davida niantso an’ i Zadoka sy Abiatara mpisorona sy ny Levita, dia Oriela sy Asaia sy Joela sy Semaia sy Eliala ary Aminadaba,
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.
ka nanao taminy hoe: Hianareo lohan’ ny fianakavian’ ny Levita, hamasino ny tenanareo, dia ianareo sy ny rahalahinareo, mba hampakaranareo ny fiaran’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, ho ao amin’ ilay namboariko ho azy.
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.”
Satria tsy ianareo no tamin’ ilay teo, dia nasian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika isika, fa tsy nitady Azy araka ny voadidy.
14 So the priests and Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Dia nanamasina ny tenany ny mpisorona sy ny Levita hampakatra ny fiaran’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
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.
Ary ny Levita nilanja ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny hazo, tahaka ny nandidian’ i Mosesy araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
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.
Ary ireo lehiben’ ny Levita dia nasain’ i Davida nanendry ny mpihira rahalahiny hitondra ny zava-maneno, dia ny valiha sy ny lokanga ary hampaneno ny kipantsona, mba hanandra-peo amin’ ny fifaliana.
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;
Ka dia notendren’ ny Levita Hemana, zanak’ i Joela; ary tamin’ ny rahalahiny dia Asafa, zanak’ i Berekia; ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Merary rahalahiny dia Etana, zanak’ i Kosaia;
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.
ary naman’ ireo ihany koa ny rahalahiny manarakaraka, dia Zakaria sy Bena sy Jaziela sy Semiramota sy Jehiela sy Ony sy Eliaba sy Benaia sy Mahaseia sy Matitia sy Elifeleho sy Mikneia sy Obed-edoma ary Jeiela, mpiandry varavarana.
19 The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to sound the bronze cymbals.
Ary Hemana sy Asafa ary Etana mpihira dia nasaina nitondra kipantsona varahina hampanenoina.
20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play the harps according to Alamoth.
Ary Zakaria sy Aziela sy Semiramota sy Jehiela sy Ony sy Eliaba sy Mahaseia sy Benaia no nasaina nitendry valiha tamin’ ny Alamota.
21 And Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead the music with lyres according to Sheminith.
Ary Matitia sy Elifeleho sy Mikneia sy Obed-edoma sy Jeiela ary Azazia no nasaina nitendry ny lokanga tamin’ ny Seminita ho mpitarika.
22 Chenaniah the head Levite was the director of the music because he was highly skilled.
Ary Kenania, lehiben’ ny Levita, no tonian’ ny fitondrana; ary nampianatra ny fitondrana izy, fa nahay.
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were to be guardians of the ark.
Ary Berekia sy Elikana no mpiandry varavarana amin’ ny fiara.
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.
Ary Sebania sy Josafata sy Netanela sy Amasay sy Zakaria sy Benaia ary Eliezera, izay samy mpisorona, no nitsoka ny trompetra teo alohan’ ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra, ary Obed-edoma sy Jehia koa no mpiandry varavarana amin’ ny fiara.
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.
Ary Davida sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely mbamin’ ny mpifehy arivo no nandeha hampakatra ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah avy tao an-tranon’ i Obed-edoma tamin’ ny fifaliana.
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.
Ary rehefa nomban’ Andriamanitra ny Levita izay nilanja ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, dia namono vantotr’ ombilahy fito sy ondrilahy fito hatao fanatitra izy.
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.
Ary niakanjo akanjo rongony fotsy madinika Davida, ary niakanjo toy izany koa ny Levita rehetra izay nitondra ny fiara ary ny mpihira sy Kenania, tonian’ ny fitondrana, mbamin’ ny mpihira; ary Davida nisalotra efoda rongony fotsy koa.
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.
Toy izany no nampakaran’ ny Isiraely rehetra ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny fihobiana sy ny feon’ ny anjomara sy ny trompetra ary ny kipantsona sy tamin’ ny fitendrena ny valiha sy ny lokanga.
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.
Ary nony tonga tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, dia nitsirika teo am-baravarankely Mikala, zanakavavin’ i Saoly, ka nahita an’ i Davida mpanjaka nibitaka sy nitsinjaka; ka dia nikizaka azy tao am-pony izy.
