1 Chronicles 15
1 And he made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and spread 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, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites, for them has Jehovah chosen to carry the ark of God, and to serve him for ever.
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 David assembled all Israel to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Jehovah to its place that 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 And David gathered the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
Davidi asangisaki lisusu bakitani ya Aron mpe Balevi:
5 of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty;
Mpo na bakitani ya Keati: mokambi Urieli elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota nkama moko na tuku mibale;
6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty;
mpo na bakitani ya Merari: mokambi Asaya elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota nkama mibale na tuku mibale;
7 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty;
mpo na bakitani ya Gerishoni: mokambi Joeli elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, nkama moko na tuku misato;
8 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred;
mpo na bakitani ya Elitsafani: mokambi Shemaya elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, nkama mibale;
9 of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brethren eighty;
mpo na bakitani ya Ebron: mokambi Elieli elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, tuku mwambe;
10 of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve.
mpo na bakitani ya Uzieli: mokambi Aminadabi elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, nkama moko na zomi na mibale.
11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and 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, Ye are the chief fathers of the Levites; hallow yourselves, ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of Jehovah the God of Israel to [the place that] I have 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 For because ye did [it] not at the first, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.
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 So the priests and the Levites hallowed themselves to bring up the ark of Jehovah the God of Israel.
Boye, Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi bamipetolaki mpo na komema Sanduku ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
15 And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves upon them, as Moses had commanded according to the word of Jehovah.
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 chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren, the singers, with instruments of music, lutes, and harps, and cymbals, that they should sound aloud, lifting up the voice with joy.
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 the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, 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 their brethren of the second [rank], Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers;
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 and the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, to sound aloud 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, with lutes on Alamoth;
Zakari, Azieli, Shemiramoti, Yeyeli, Uni, Eliabi, Maaseya mpe Benaya; bango bazalaki kobeta nzenze na mongongo ya soprano.
21 and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to lead [the singing].
Matitia, Elifele, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomi, Yeyeli mpe Azazia; bango bazalaki kobeta mandanda ya basinga mwambe mpo na kotambolisa banzembo.
22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites for the music, gave instruction in music, for he was skilful.
Kenania, mokambi ya Balevi, aponamaki mpo na kotambolisa banzembo; pamba te ayebaki mosala yango malamu.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.
Berekia mpe Elikana, bazalaki bakengeli ya Sanduku ya Boyokani.
24 And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, blew with the trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehijah were doorkeepers for 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 And David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the house of Obed-Edom with joy.
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 it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, that they sacrificed seven bullocks 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 And David was clothed with a robe of byssus, and all the Levites that bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah chief of the music of the singers; and David had upon him 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 Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah with shouting, and with sound of the trumpet, and with clarions, and with cymbals, playing aloud with lutes 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 it came to pass as the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked through a window, and 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.
