Chronicles I 15

1 And [David] made for himself houses in the city of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and made a tent for it.

David el musaela kutu lohm in Siti sel David tuh in lohm sel sifacna. El oayapa akoo sie acn nu ke Tuptup in Wuleang lun God, ac el tulokunak sie lohm nuknuk nu kac.

2 Then said David, It is not [lawful for any] to bear the ark of God, but the Levites; for the Lord has chosen them to bear the ark of the Lord, and to minister to him for ever.

Na David el fahk, “Mwet Levi mukena pa fal in us Tuptup in Wuleang, mweyen elos pa sulosolla sin LEUM GOD tuh elos in us, ac in kulansap nu sel nwe tok.”

3 And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord to the place which he [had] prepared for it.

Ouinge David el pangoneni mwet Israel nukewa nu Jerusalem, tuh elos in use Tuptup in Wuleang nu ke acn se el akoela nu kac.

4 And David gathered together the sons of Aaron the Levites.

Tukun ma inge David el sapla nu sin mwet in fwil natul Aaron ac mwet Levi.

5 Of the sons of Caath; [there was] Uriel the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and twenty.

Ke sou lulap lal Kohath in sruf lun mwet Levi, Uriel el mwet kol, ac mwet siofok longoul in sou lal welul.

6 Of the sons of Merari; Asaia the chief, and his brethren, two hundred and twenty.

Sin sou lal Merari, Asaiah el mwet kol, ac mwet luofoko longoul in sou lal welul.

7 Of the sons of Gedson; Joel the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and thirty.

Sin sou lal Gershon, Joel el mwet kol, ac mwet siofok tolngoul in sou lal welul.

8 Of the sons of Elisaphat; Semei the chief, and his brethren, two hundred.

Sin sou lal Elizaphan, Shemaiah el mwet kol, ac mwet luofoko in sou lal welul.

9 Of the sons of Chebrom; Eliel the chief, and his brethren eighty.

Sin sou lal Hebron, Eliel el mwet kol, ac mwet oalngoul in sou lal welul.

10 Of the sons of Oziel; Aminadab the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve.

Sin sou lal Uzziel, Amminadab el mwet kol, ac mwet siofok singoul luo in sou lal welul.

11 And David called Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, and the Levites, Uriel, Asaia, and Joel, and Semaia, and Eliel, and Aminadab,

David el solani mwet tol Zadok ac Abiathar, ac mwet Levi onkosr inge: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, ac Amminadab.

12 and said to them, Ye [are] the heads of the families of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, and ye shall carry up the ark of the God of Israel, [to the place] which I have prepared for it.

El fahk nu sin mwet Levi, “Kowos pa mwet kol lun sou lulap lun mwet Levi. Kowos in aknasnasye kowos oayapa mwet Levi wiowos, tuh kowos in ku in use Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD lun Israel nu in acn se nga akoela nu kac.

13 For because ye were not [ready] at the first, our God made a breach upon us, because we sought him not according to the ordinance.

Ke sripen kowos wangin ke pacl se meet ma kut tuh srike in use, na pa LEUM GOD lasr El tuh kai kut mweyen kut tuh tia oru akfulat su fal in orek nu sel.”

14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves, to bring up the ark of the God of Israel.

Na mwet tol ac mwet Levi elos aknasnasyalos tuh elos in mau ku in moklema Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD lun Israel.

15 And the sons of the Levites took the ark of God, (as Moses commanded by the word of God according to the scripture) upon their shoulders with staves.

Mwet Levi elos us Tuptup uh finpisalos ke srenenu, in oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh sapkin nu sel Moses.

16 And David said to the chiefs of the Levites, Set your brethren the singers with musical instruments, lutes, harps, and cymbals, to sound aloud with a voice of joy.

David el sap mwet kol lun mwet Levi in sulela kutu mwet lalos in on, ac kutu in srital ke harp ac cymbal, in fahkak pusren engan lulap.

17 So the Levites appointed Aeman the son of Joel; Asaph the son of Barachias [was one] of his brethren; and Aethan the son of Kisaeus was of the sons of Merari their brethren;

Ouinge mwet Levi elos sulela mwet inge liki sou lun mwet on: Heman wen natul Joel, oayapa sie mukul in sou lal, su Asaph wen natul Berechiah; ac Ethan wen natul Kushaiah, su ma wialos ke sou lal Merari;

18 and with them their brethren of the second rank, Zacharias, and Oziel, and Semiramoth, and Jeiel, and Elioel, and Eliab, and Banaia, and Maasaia, and Matthathia, and Eliphena, and Makellia, and Abdedom, and Jeiel, and Ozias, the porters.

na mukul wialtal in fwil se akluo: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, ac mwet luo su liyaung mutunpot: Obed Edom ac Jeiel.

19 And the singers, Aeman, Asaph, and Aethan, with brazen cymbals to make [a sound] to be heard.

Mwet in srital ke cymbal orek ke bronze pa Heman, Asaph, ac Ethan.

20 Zacharias, and Oziel, Semiramoth, Jeiel, Oni, Eliab, Maasaeas, Banaeas, with lutes, on alaemoth.

Mwet in srital ke harp ma fulat pusra uh pa Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah ac Benaiah.

21 And Mattathias, and Eliphalu, and Makenia, and Abdedom, and Jeiel, and Ozias, with harps of Amasenith, to make a loud noise.

Mwet inge pa srital ke harp ma toasr pusra uh: Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed Edom, Jeiel, ac Azaziah.

22 And Chonenia chief of the Levites [was] master of the bands, because he was skilful.

Elos sulella Chenaniah in kol mwet on inge nukewa lun mwet Levi, mweyen yohk etu lal ke on.

23 And Barachia and Elcana [were] door-keepers of the ark.

Mwet in taran Tuptup in Wuleang pa Berechiah, Elkanah,

24 And Somnia, and Josaphat, and Nathanael, and Amasai, and Zacharia, and Banaea, and Eliezer, the priests, were sounding with trumpets before the ark of God: and Abdedom and Jeia [were] door-keepers of the ark of God.

Obed Edom, ac Jehiah. Mwet in fahsr meet liki Tuptup uh ac ukya mwe ukuk pa mwet tol inge: Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, ac Eliezer.

25 So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains of thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant from the house of Abdedom with gladness.

Tokosra David, ac mwet kol lun mwet Israel, ac captain lun un mwet mweun, elos tukeni som in use Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD liki lohm sel Obed Edom, ac elos engan ma lulap.

26 And it came to pass when God strengthened the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that they sacrificed seven calves and seven rams.

Elos kisakin cow mukul itkosr ac sheep mukul itkosr mwe akpwayeye lah God El ac fah kasru mwet Levi su us Tuptup in Wuleang.

27 And David [was] girt with a fine linen robe, and all the Levites [who were] bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the singers, and Chonenias the master of the band of singers; also upon David [there was] a robe of fine linen.

David el nukum sie nuknuk loeloes orek ke linen wowo. Mwet on nukewa, ac Chenaniah su mwet kol lalos, oayapa mwet Levi su us Tuptup uh, elos nukewa nukum nuknuk linen oana David. David el oayapa nukum sie ephod lun mwet tol orekla ke linen.

28 And all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of a horn, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, playing loudly on lutes and harps.

Na mwet Israel nukewa elos welulos fahsr ac usak Tuptup in Wuleang nu Jerusalem ke pusren engan ac sasa, oayapa pusren mwe ukuk, trumpet, cymbal, ac harp.

29 And the ark of the covenant of the Lord arrived, and came to the city of David; and Melchol the daughter of Saul looked down through the window, and saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.

Ke Tuptup sac utyak nu in siti uh, na Michal, acn natul Saul, el ngetla liki winto uh ac liyal Tokosra David ke el tacn ac onsrosro ke engan lulap, na Michal el arulana toasr sel kac.
