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.
Dawudi bwe yamala okwezimbira embiri ze mu kibuga kya Dawudi, n’ategekera essanduuko ya Katonda ekifo, n’agikubira eweema.
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.
Awo Dawudi n’ayogera nti, “Tewali muntu yenna akkirizibwa kusitula essanduuko ya Katonda wabula Abaleevi, kubanga Mukama be yalonda okugisitula, era n’okumuweerezanga ennaku zonna.”
3 And David assembled all Israel to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Jehovah to its place that he had prepared for it.
Dawudi n’akuŋŋaanya Abayisirayiri bonna mu Yerusaalemi, okulinnyisa essanduuko ya Mukama mu kifo kyayo kye yali agitegekedde.
4 And David gathered the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
N’ayita abazzukulu ba Alooni n’Abaleevi:
5 of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty;
ku bazzukulu ba Kokasi, Uliyeri omukulembeze ne baganda be kikumi mu abiri;
6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty;
ku bazzukulu ba Merali, Asaya omukulembeze ne baganda be bibiri mu abiri;
7 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty;
ku bazzukulu ba Gerusomu, Yoweeri omukulembeze ne baganda be kikumi mu asatu;
8 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred;
ku bazzukulu ba Erizafani, Semaaya omukulembeze ne baganda be ebikumi bibiri,
9 of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brethren eighty;
ku bazzukulu ba Kebbulooni, Eryeri omukulembeze ne baganda be kinaana;
10 of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve.
ku bazzukulu ba Wuziyeeri, Amminadaabu omukulembeze ne baganda be kikumi mu kkumi na babiri.
11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab;
Awo Dawudi n’atumya Zadooki ne Abiyasaali bakabona, ne Uliyeri, ne Asaya, ne Yoweeri, ne Semaaya, ne Eryeri ne Amminadaabu Abaleevi,
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.
n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe bakulembeze mu nnyumba z’Abaleevi, era mmwe ne baganda bammwe mujja kwetukuza, mulyoke mwambuse essanduuko ya Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, okugiteeka mu kifo kye ngitegekedde.
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.
Kubanga mmwe temwagisitula omulundi ogwasooka Mukama Katonda waffe kyeyava atusunguwalira, olw’obutamwebuuzaako okutegeera nga bwe kyalagibwa.”
14 So the priests and the Levites hallowed themselves to bring up the ark of Jehovah the God of Israel.
Awo bakabona n’Abaleevi ne beetukuza okulinnyisa essanduuko ya Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri.
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.
Abaleevi ne basitulira essanduuko ya Mukama ku bibegabega byabwe n’emisituliro gyako, nga Musa bwe yalagira, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyali.
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.
Awo Dawudi n’alagira abakulembeze b’Abaleevi okulonda baganda baabwe okuba abayimbi, nga bayimba ennyimba ez’essanyu, nga bakuba ebivuga: entongooli, n’ennanga, n’ebitaasa.
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;
Abaleevi ne balonda Kemani mutabani wa Yoweeri, ku baganda be ne balonda Asafu mutabani wa Berekiya, ne ku batabani ba Merali, baganda baabwe, ne balonda Esani mutabani wa Kusaya;
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;
ne baganda baabwe abaabaddiriranga nga be ba Zekkaliya, ne Yaaziyeri, ne Semiramosi, ne Yeyeri, ne Unni, ne Eriyaabu, ne Benaaya, ne Maaseya, ne Mattisiya, ne Erifereku, ne Mikuneya, n’abaggazi Obededomu ne Yeyeeri,
19 and the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, to sound aloud with cymbals of brass;
ne Kemani, ne Asafu, ne Esani abayimbi abaalina okukuba ebitaasa eby’ebikomo;
20 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with lutes on Alamoth;
ne Zekkaliya, ne Aziyeri, ne Semiramosi, ne Yekyeri, ne Unni, ne Eriyaabu, ne Maaseya ne Benaya baali baakukuba entongooli ez’ekyalamosi;
21 and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to lead [the singing].
naye Mattisiya, ne Erifereku, ne Mikuneya, ne Obededomu, ne Yeyeri, ne Azaziya baali baakukulemberamu nga bakuba ennanga ez’ekiseminisi.
22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites for the music, gave instruction in music, for he was skilful.
Kenaniya omukulembeze w’Abaleevi mu by’okuyimba, avunaanyizibwe eby’okuyimba kubanga yali mukugu mu byo.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.
Berekiya ne Erukaana be baali abaggazi b’omulyango gw’ekifo essanduuko mw’ebeera.
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.
Sebaniya, ne Yosafaati, ne Nesaneri, ne Amasayi, ne Zekkaliya, ne Benaya, ne Eryeza be bakabona abaafuuwanga amakondeere mu maaso g’essanduuko ya Katonda. Obededomu ne Yekiya n’abo baali baggazi b’omulyango gw’ekifo essanduuko mw’ebeera.
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.
Awo Dawudi n’abakadde aba Isirayiri, n’abaduumizi b’enkumi ne bagenda okwambusa essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama okugiggya mu nnyumba ya Obededomu nga basanyuka.
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.
Olw’okubeera Katonda kwe yabeera Abaleevi abaali basitudde essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama, baawaayo sseddume z’ente musanvu ne z’endiga musanvu nga ssaddaaka.
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.
Dawudi yali ayambadde olugoye olwa linena, ng’Abaleevi bonna abaali basitudde essanduuko, era ng’abayimbi ne Kenaniya eyali avunaanyizibwa okuyimba. Dawudi yali ayambadde n’ekkanzu eya linena.
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.
Awo Isirayiri yenna ne bambusa essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama nga baleekaana n’amaloboozi ag’essanyu, n’eddoboozi ery’eŋŋombe, ery’amakondeere, n’ebitaasa, era nga bakuba nnyo entongooli n’ennanga.
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.
Awo essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama bwe yali ng’eyingizibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi, Makali muwala wa Sawulo n’alingiza mu ddirisa, n’alaba Kabaka Dawudi ng’azina era ng’ajjaguza, n’amunyooma mu mutima gwe.
