1 Chronicles 15
1 And David made houses for himself in the town of David; and he got ready a place for the ark of God, and put up 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, The ark of God may not be moved by any but the Levites, for they have been marked out by God to take the ark of God, and to do his work for ever.
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 made all Israel come together at Jerusalem, to take the ark of the Lord to its place, which he had got ready for it.
Og David samlede hele Israel i Jerusalem for at føre HERRENS Ark op til det Sted, han havde beredt den.
4 And David got together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites;
Og David samlede Arons Sønner og Leviterne:
5 Of the sons of Kohath: Uriel the chief, and his brothers, a hundred and twenty;
Af Kehatiterne Øversten Uriel og hans Brødre, 120;
6 Of the sons of Merari: Asaiah the chief, and his brothers, two hundred and twenty;
af Merariterne Øversten Asaja og hans Brødre, 220;
7 Of the sons of Gershom: Joel the chief, and his brothers, a hundred and thirty;
af Gersoniterne Øversten Joel og hans Brødre, 130;
8 Of the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers, two hundred;
af Elizafans Sønner Øversten Sjemaja og hans Brødre, 200;
9 Of the sons of Hebron: Eliel the chief, and his brothers, eighty;
af Hebrons Sønner Øversten Eliel og hans Brødre, 80;
10 Of the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brothers, a hundred and twelve.
af Uzziels Sønner Øversten Amminadab og hans Brødre, 112.
11 And David sent for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, Uriel, Asaiah and Joel, Shemaiah and Eliel and Amminadab,
Saa lod David Præsterne Zadok og Ebjatar og Leviterne Uriel, Asaja, Joel, Sjemaja, Eliel og Amminadab kalde
12 And said to them, You are the heads of the families of the Levites: make yourselves holy, you and your brothers, so that you may take the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel, to the place which I have made ready 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 For because you did not take it at the first, the Lord our God sent punishment on us, because we did not get directions from him in the right way.
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 the Levites made themselves holy to take 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 sons of the Levites took up the ark of God, lifting it by its rods, as the Lord had said to Moses.
og Levis Sønner løftede med Bærestængerne Guds Ark op paa Skuldrene, som Moses havde paabudt efter HERRENS Ord.
16 And David gave orders to the chief of the Levites to put their brothers the music-makers in position, with instruments of music, corded instruments and brass, with glad voices making sounds of joy.
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 Heman, the son of Joel, and, of his brothers, Asaph, the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan, the son of Kushaiah, were put in position by the Levites;
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 of the second order, Zechariah, Bani and Jaaziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel and Unni, Eliab and Benaiah and Maaseiah and Mattithiah and Eliphelehu and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom and Jeiel, the door-keepers.
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 So those who made melody, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were put in position, with brass instruments, sounding loudly;
Sangerne Heman, Asaf og Etan skulde spille paa Kobbercymbler,
20 And Zechariah and Aziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel, Unni and Eliab and Maaseiah and Benaiah, with corded instruments put to Alamoth.
Zekarja, Uzziel, Sjemiramot, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Ma'aseja og Benaja paa Harper al-alamot;
21 And Mattithiah and Eliphelehu and Mikneiah and Obed-edom and Jeiel and Azaziah, with corded instruments on the octave, to give the first note of the song.
Mattitja, Elipelehu, Miknejahu, Obed-Edom og Je'iel skulde lede Sangen med Citre al-hassjeminit;
22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was master of the music: he gave directions about the song, because he was expert.
Konanja, Leviternes Øverste over dem, der bar, skulde lede disse, da han forstod sig derpaa;
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were door-keepers for the ark.
Berekja og Elkana skulde være Dørvogtere ved Arken;
24 And Shebaniah and Joshaphat and Nethanel and Amasai and Zechariah and Benaiah and Eliezer, the priests, made music on the horns before the ark of God; and Obed-edom and Jehiah were door-keepers for 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, and the responsible men of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went with joy to get the ark of the agreement of the Lord out of 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 when God gave help to the Levites who were lifting up the ark of the agreement of the Lord, they made an offering of seven oxen and seven sheep.
og da Gud hjalp Leviterne, der har HERRENS Pagts Ark, ofrede man syv Tyre og syv Vædre.
27 And David was clothed with a robe of fair linen, as were all the Levites who took up the ark, and those who made melody, and Chenaniah the master of those who made melody; and David had on 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 took up the ark of the agreement of the Lord, with loud cries and with horns and brass and corded instruments sounding loudly.
Og hele Israel bragte HERRENS Pagts Ark op under Festjubel og til Hornets, Trompeternes og Cymblernes Klang, under Harpe— og Citerspil.
29 And when the ark of the agreement of the Lord came into the town of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looking out of the window, saw King David dancing and playing; and to her mind he seemed foolish.
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.
