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.

Davi também fez casas para si em sua cidade, e preparou um lugar para a arca de Deus, e lhe armou uma tenda.

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.”

Então Davi disse: Ninguém pode trazer a arca de Deus, a não ser os levitas; porque o SENHOR os escolheu para que transportassem a arca do SENHOR, e para lhe servirem eternamente.

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.

E Davi ajuntou a todo Israel em Jerusalém, para fazerem subir a arca do SENHOR a seu lugar, que ele tinha lhe preparado.

4 Certainly, there were both the sons of Aaron and the Levites:

Davi também ajuntou aos filhos de Arão e aos levitas:

5 From the sons of Kohath, Uriel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twenty.

Dos filhos de Coate, Uriel o principal, e seus irmãos, cento e vinte;

6 From the sons of Merari: Asaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred twenty.

Dos filhos de Merari, Asaías o principal, e seus irmãos, duzentos e vinte;

7 From the sons of Gershom: Joel was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred thirty.

Dos filhos de Gérson, Joel o principal, e seus irmãos, cento e trinta;

8 From the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah was the leader, and his brothers were two hundred.

Dos filhos de Elisafã, Semaías o principal, e seus irmãos, duzentos;

9 From the sons of Hebron: Eliel was the leader, and his brothers were eighty.

Dos filhos de Hebrom, Eliel o principal, e seus irmãos, oitenta;

10 From the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab was the leader, and his brothers were one hundred twelve.

Dos filhos de Uziel, Amidadabe o principal, e seus irmãos, cento e doze.

11 And David summoned the priests, Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.

E Davi chamou aos sacerdotes Zadoque e Abiatar, e a os levitas Uriel, Asaías, Joel, Semaías, Eliel, e Aminadabe;

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.

E disse-lhes: Vós que sois os chefes das famílias entre os levitas, santificai-vos, vós e vossos irmãos, e fazei subir a arca do SENHOR, Deus de Israel, ao lugar que eu lhe preparei;

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.”

Pois por não terdes feito assim vós da primeira vez, o SENHOR nosso Deus fez nos atingiu, porque não o buscamos conforme o mandamento.

14 Therefore, the priests and the Levites were sanctified, so that they might carry the ark of the Lord God of Israel.

Assim os sacerdotes e os levitas se santificaram para trazerem a arca do SENHOR Deus de Israel.

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.

E os filhos dos levitas trouxeram a arca de Deus com as barras sobre seus ombros, assim como Moisés tinha mandado conforme a palavra do SENHOR.

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.

E Davi disse aos chefes dos levitas que constituíssem de seus irmãos cantores com instrumentos musicais, com saltérios, e harpas, e címbalos; para que fizessem sons e levantassem a voz com alegria.

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.

Então os levitas constituíram a Hemã, filho de Joel; e de seus irmãos, a Asafe filho de Berequias; e dos filhos de Merari e de seus irmãos, a Etã filho de Cusaías;

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.

E com eles a seus irmãos da segundo ordem, a Zacarias, Bene e Jaaziel, Semiramote, Jeiel, Uni, Eliabe, Benaia, Maaseias, Matitias, Elifeleu, Micneias, Obede-Edom, e Jeiel, os porteiros.

19 Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were sounding out with cymbals of brass.

E os cantores: Hemã, Asafe, e Etã, fizeram sons com címbalos de metal.

20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah were singing mysteries with the psalteries.

E Zacarias, Aziel, Semiramote, Jeiel, Uni, Eliabe, Maaseias, e Benaia, com saltérios sobre Alamote.

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.

E Matitias, Elifeleu, Micneias, Obede-Edom, Jeiel, e Azazias, tocavam ao modo de Seminite.

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.

E Quenanias, chefe dos levitas, estava encarregado de conduzir o cântico; ele ensinava o cântico porque era entendido.

23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters of the ark.

E Berequias e Elcana eram porteiros da arca.

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.

E os sacerdotes Sebanias, Josafá, Natanael, Amasai, Zacarias, Benaia, e Eliézer, tocavam as trombetas diante da arca de Deus; e Obede-Edom e Jeías eram porteiros da arca.

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.

Sucedeu, pois, que Davi, os anciãos de Israel, e os capitães de milhares, foram fazer subir a arca do pacto do SENHOR, de casa de Obede-Edom, com alegria.

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.

E foi que, por Deus estar ajudando os levitas que levavam a arca do pacto do SENHOR, eles sacrificaram sete novilhos e sete carneiros.

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.

E Davi ia vestido de um roupão de linho fino, como também todos os levitas que levavam a arca, e os cantores; e Quenanias era o chefe da música e dos cantores. Davi também levava sobre si um éfode de linho.

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.

Assim todo Israel fez subir a arca do pacto do SENHOR, com júbilo, som de cornetas e trombetas, e címbalos, e ao som de saltérios e harpas.

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.

E foi que, quando a arca do pacto do SENHOR chegou à cidade de Davi, Mical, filha de Saul, olhou por uma janela, e viu o rei Davi dançando e saltando; e ela o desprezou em seu coração.
