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.
Fez também casa para si na cidade de David; e preparou um lugar para a arca de Deus, e armou-lhe uma tenda.
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.
Então disse David: ninguém pode levar a arca de Deus, senão os levitas; porque o Senhor os elegeu, para levar a arca de Deus, e para o servirem eternamente.
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.
E David ajuntou a todo o Israel em Jerusalém, para fazerem subir a arca do Senhor ao seu lugar, que lhe tinha preparado.
4 And David got together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites;
E David ajuntou os filhos de Aarão e os levitas.
5 Of the sons of Kohath: Uriel the chief, and his brothers, a hundred and twenty;
Dos filhos de Kohath: Uriel, o príncipe, e de seus irmãos cento e vinte.
6 Of the sons of Merari: Asaiah the chief, and his brothers, two hundred and twenty;
Dos filhos de Merari: Asaias, o príncipe, e de seus irmãos duzentos e vinte.
7 Of the sons of Gershom: Joel the chief, and his brothers, a hundred and thirty;
Dos filhos de Gersom: Joel, o príncipe, e de seus irmãos cento e trinta.
8 Of the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers, two hundred;
Dos filhos de Elisaphan: Semaias o príncipe, e de seus irmãos duzentos.
9 Of the sons of Hebron: Eliel the chief, and his brothers, eighty;
Dos filhos de Hebron: Eliel, o príncipe, e de seus irmãos oitenta.
10 Of the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brothers, a hundred and twelve.
Dos filhos de Uziel: Amminadab, o príncipe, e de seus irmãos cento e doze.
11 And David sent for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, Uriel, Asaiah and Joel, Shemaiah and Eliel and Amminadab,
E chamou David os sacerdotes Zadok e Abiathar, e os levitas, Uriel, Asaias, Joel, Semaias, Eliel, e Amminadab;
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.
E disse-lhes: Vós sois os chefes dos pais entre os levitas: santificai-vos, vós e vossos irmãos, para que façais subir a arca do Senhor, Deus de Israel, ao lugar que lhe tenho preparado.
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.
Pois que, porquanto primeiro vós assim o não fizestes, o Senhor fez rotura em nós, porque o não buscamos segundo a ordenança.
14 So the priests and the Levites made themselves holy to take up the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel.
Santificaram-se pois os sacerdotes e levitas, para fazerem subir a arca do Senhor Deus de Israel.
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.
E os filhos dos levitas trouxeram a arca de Deus aos ombros, como Moisés tinha ordenado, conforme a palavra do Senhor, com as varas que tinham sobre si.
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.
E disse David aos príncipes dos levitas que constituíssem a seus irmãos, os cantores, com instrumentos músicos, com alaúdes, harpas e címbalos, para que se fizessem ouvir, levantando a voz com alegria.
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;
Ordenaram pois os levitas a Heman, filho de Joel; e dos seus irmãos, a Asaph, filho de Berechias, e dos filhos de Merari, seus irmãos, a Ethan, filho de Kusaias.
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.
E com eles a seus irmãos da segunda ordem: a Zacarias, Ben, e Jaaziel, e Semiramoth, e Jehiel, e Uni, Eliab, e Benaias, e Maaseias, e Mattithias, e Eliphelehu, e Mikneias, e Obed-edom, e Jeiel, os porteiros.
19 So those who made melody, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were put in position, with brass instruments, sounding loudly;
E os cantores, Heman, Asaph e Ethan, se faziam ouvir com címbalos de metal;
20 And Zechariah and Aziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel, Unni and Eliab and Maaseiah and Benaiah, with corded instruments put to Alamoth.
E Zacarias, e Aziel, e Semiramoth, e Jehiel, e Uni, e Eliab, e Maaseias, e Benaias, com alaúdes, sobre Alamoth:
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.
E Mattithias e Eliphelehu, e Mikneias, e Obed-edom, e Jeiel, e Azazias, com harpas, sobre Seminith, para esforçar o tom.
22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was master of the music: he gave directions about the song, because he was expert.
E Chenanias, príncipe dos levitas, tinha cargo de entoar o canto; ensinava-os a entoa-lo, porque era entendido.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were door-keepers for the ark.
E Berechias e Elkana eram porteiros da arca.
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.
E Sebanias, e Josaphat, e Nethaneel, e Amasai, e Zacarias, e Benaias, e Eliezer, os sacerdotes, tocavam as trombetas perante a arca de Deus: e Obed-edom e Jehias eram porteiros da arca.
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.
Sucedeu pois que David e os anciãos de Israel, e os capitães dos milhares, foram para fazer subir a arca do concerto do Senhor, da casa de Obed-edom, com alegria.
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.
E sucedeu que, ajudando Deus os levitas que levavam a arca do concerto do Senhor, sacrificaram sete novilhos e sete carneiros.
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;
E David ia vestido de um roupão de linho fino, como também todos os levitas que levavam a arca, e os cantores, e Chenanias, chefe dos que levavam a arca e dos cantores; também David levava sobre si um éfode de linho.
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.
E todo o Israel fez subir a arca do concerto do Senhor, com júbilo, e com sonido de buzinas, e com trombetas, e com címbalos, fazendo sonido com alaúdes e com harpas.
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.
E sucedeu que, chegando a arca do concerto do Senhor à cidade de David, Michal, a filha de Saul, olhou de uma janela, e, vendo a David dançar e tocar, o desprezou no seu coração.
