1 Chronicles 15
1 Also, he made houses for himself in the City of David. And built a place for the ark of God, and he set up a tent for it.
Tango Davidi asilisaki kotonga bandako mpo na ye moko kati na engumba ya Davidi, abongisaki esika mpo na Sanduku ya Nzambe mpe atelemisaki ndako ya kapo mpo na yango.
2 Then David said: “It is illicit for anyone to carry the ark of God except the Levites, whom the Lord chose to carry it and to minister to himself, even unto eternity.”
Davidi alobaki: « Moto moko te, longola kaka Balevi, akoki komema Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Nzambe, pamba te Yawe aponaki bango mpo na komema Sanduku na Ye mpe kosala mosala na Ye mpo na libela. »
3 And he gathered all of Israel in Jerusalem, so that the ark of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for it.
Davidi asangisaki kati na Yelusalemi bana nyonso ya Isalaele mpo na komema Sanduku ya Yawe na esika oyo abongisaki mpo na yango.
4 Certainly, there were both the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
Davidi asangisaki lisusu bakitani ya Aron mpe Balevi:
5 From the sons of Kohath, Uriel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twenty.
Mpo na bakitani ya Keati: mokambi Urieli elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota nkama moko na tuku mibale;
6 From the sons of Merari: Asaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred twenty.
mpo na bakitani ya Merari: mokambi Asaya elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota nkama mibale na tuku mibale;
7 From the sons of Gershom: Joel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred thirty.
mpo na bakitani ya Gerishoni: mokambi Joeli elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, nkama moko na tuku misato;
8 From the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred.
mpo na bakitani ya Elitsafani: mokambi Shemaya elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, nkama mibale;
9 From the sons of Hebron: Eliel was the leader, and his brothers were eighty.
mpo na bakitani ya Ebron: mokambi Elieli elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, tuku mwambe;
10 From the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twelve.
mpo na bakitani ya Uzieli: mokambi Aminadabi elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, nkama moko na zomi na mibale.
11 And David summoned the priests, Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
Davidi abengaki Banganga-Nzambe Tsadoki mpe Abiatari elongo na Balevi oyo: Urieli, Asaya, Joeli, Shemaya, Elieli mpe Aminadabi.
12 And he said to them: “You who are the leaders of the Levitical families, be sanctified with your brothers, and bring the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place that has been prepared for it.
Alobaki na bango: « Bozali bakambi ya mabota ya Balevi, bino elongo na bandeko ya mabota na bino; bomipetola mpo na komema Sanduku ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, na esika oyo nabongisi mpo na yango.
13 Otherwise, as it was before, when the Lord struck us because you were not present, so also it might be now, if we do what is illicit.”
Pamba te lokola bino Balevi bozalaki te na mbala ya liboso, yango wana Yawe, Nzambe na biso, asilikelaki biso makasi; pamba te totunaki Ye te ndenge nini tokokaki komema yango kolanda mibeko. »
14 Therefore, the priests and the Levites were sanctified, so that they might carry the ark of the Lord God of Israel.
Boye, Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi bamipetolaki mpo na komema Sanduku ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
15 And the sons of Levi took the ark of God, just as Moses had instructed, in accord with the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders by the bars.
Bongo Balevi bamemaki na banzete Sanduku ya Nzambe na mapeka na bango ndenge kaka Moyize atindaki, kolanda Liloba na Yawe.
16 And David spoke to the leaders of the Levites, so that they might appoint, from their brothers, singers with musical instruments, specifically, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, so that a joyful noise might resound on high.
Davidi alobaki na bakambi ya Balevi ete bapona, kati na bandeko na bango, bayembi mpo na koyemba banzembo ya esengo, na bibetelo mindule: nzenze, lindanda mpe manzanza.
17 And they appointed from the Levites: Heman, the son of Joel; and from his brothers, Asaph, the son of Berechiah; and truly, from their brothers, the sons of Merari: Ethan, the son of Kushaiah.
Balevi baponaki Emani, mwana mobali ya Joeli; Azafi, mwana mobali ya Berekia, kati na bandeko na ye ya mibali; Etani, mwana mobali ya Kushaya, kati na bana ya Merari, na bandeko na ye ya mibali.
18 And with them were their brothers in the second rank: Zechariah, and Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jahiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, who were gatekeepers.
Mpe mpo na kosunga bango, baponaki Balevi mosusu: Zakari, Beni, Yazieli, Shemiramoti, Yeyeli, Uni, Eliabi, Benaya, Maaseya, Matitia, Elifele, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomi mpe Yeyeli. Bango nyonso bazalaki bakengeli bikuke.
19 Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were sounding out with cymbals of brass.
Babeti miziki: Emani, Azafi mpe Etani; bango bazalaki kobeta manzanza oyo basala na bronze.
20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah were singing mysteries with the psalteries.
Zakari, Azieli, Shemiramoti, Yeyeli, Uni, Eliabi, Maaseya mpe Benaya; bango bazalaki kobeta nzenze na mongongo ya soprano.
21 Then Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah and Obededom, and Jeiel and Azaziah were singing a song of victory with the harps, for the octave.
Matitia, Elifele, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomi, Yeyeli mpe Azazia; bango bazalaki kobeta mandanda ya basinga mwambe mpo na kotambolisa banzembo.
22 Now Chenaniah, the leader of the Levites, was foremost over the prophecies, in order to mark out in advance the melodies. For indeed, he was very skillful.
Kenania, mokambi ya Balevi, aponamaki mpo na kotambolisa banzembo; pamba te ayebaki mosala yango malamu.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters of the ark.
Berekia mpe Elikana, bazalaki bakengeli ya Sanduku ya Boyokani.
24 And the priests, Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, were sounding the trumpets before the ark of God. And Obededom and Jehiah were porters of the ark.
Banganga-Nzambe Shebania, Jozafati, Netaneeli, Amasayi, Zakari, Benaya mpe Eliezeri; bazalaki kobeta kelelo liboso ya Sanduku ya Nzambe. Obedi-Edomi mpe Yeyiya bazalaki mpe bakengeli Sanduku ya Boyokani.
25 Therefore, David, and all those greater by birth of Israel, and the tribunes, went to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obededom with rejoicing.
Davidi, bakambi ya Isalaele mpe bakonzi ya basoda nkoto moko bakendeki kozwa na esengo Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe wuta na ndako ya Obedi-Edomi.
26 And when God had assisted the Levites, who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, they immolated seven bulls and seven rams.
Mpe mpo ete Yawe asunga Balevi oyo bazalaki komema Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, babonzaki lokola mbeka bangombe sambo ya mibali mpe bameme sambo ya mibali.
27 Now David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah, the leader of the prophecy among the singers. But David was also clothed with a linen ephod.
Davidi elongo na Balevi nyonso oyo bazalaki komema Sanduku ya Boyokani, bayembi mpe Kenania, mokambi ya bayembi: bango nyonso balataki banzambala ya lino ya talo. Kasi Davidi abakisaki lisusu efode ya lino na likolo.
28 And all of Israel were leading back the ark of the covenant of the Lord with jubilation, sounding out with the noise of horns, and trumpets, and cymbals, and psalteries, and harps.
Bato nyonso ya Isalaele bamemaki Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe na kobeta milolo ya esengo, na kobeta maseke, bakelelo, manzanza, banzenze mpe mandanda.
29 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord had arrived in the City of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, gazing through a window, saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
Tango Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe ekotaki na engumba ya Davidi, Mikali, mwana mwasi ya Saulo, azalaki kotala wuta na lininisa; mpe tango amonaki mokonzi Davidi kopumbwa mpe kobina na esengo, ayinaki ye kati na motema na ye.
