1 Chronicles 15
1 Once David had finished building houses for himself in the City of David, he made a place for the Ark of God and set up a tent there.
Davide atadzimangira nyumba zina mu Mzinda wa Davide, iye anakonza malo a Bokosi la Mulungu ndipo analimangira tenti.
2 Then he gave orders: “Nobody is to carry the Ark of God except the Levites, for the Lord himself chose them to carry the Ark of the Lord and to serve him forever.”
Pamenepo Davide anati, “Palibe wina ati anyamule Bokosi la Mulungu koma Alevi chifukwa Yehova anawasankha kuti azinyamula Bokosi la Yehova ndi kumatumikira pamaso pake nthawi zonse.”
3 David summoned all of Israel to Jerusalem to bring the Ark of the Lord to the place he'd prepared for it.
Davide anasonkhanitsa Aisraeli onse mu Yerusalemu kuti abweretse Bokosi la Yehova ku malo amene analikonzera.
4 This is the list of the Levites, the sons of Aaron, that David called to attend:
Iye anayitanitsa pamodzi zidzukulu za Aaroni ndi Alevi:
5 From the sons of Kohath, Uriel (chief), and 120 of his relatives;
kuchokera ku banja la Kohati, mtsogoleri Urieli ndi abale ake 120.
6 from the sons of Merari, Asaiah (chief), with 220 of his relatives;
Kuchokera ku banja la Merari, mtsogoleri Asaya ndi abale ake 220;
7 from the sons of Gershom, Joel (chief), with 130 of his relatives;
kuchokera ku banja la Geresomu, mtsogoleri Yoweli ndi abale ake 130;
8 from the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah (chief), with 200 of his relatives;
kuchokera ku banja la Elizafani, mtsogoleri Semaya ndi abale ake 200;
9 from the sons of Hebron, Eliel (chief), with 80 of his relatives;
kuchokera ku banja la Hebroni, mtsogoleri Elieli ndi abale ake 80;
10 from the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab (chief), with 112 of his relatives.
kuchokera ku banja la Uzieli, mtsogoleri Aminadabu ndi abale ake 112.
11 Then David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
Kenaka Davide anayitanitsa ansembe Zadoki ndi Abiatara, ndi Alevi awa, Urieli, Asaya, Yoweli, Semaya, Elieli ndi Aminadabu.
12 He told them, “You are the heads of the Levite families. You must make yourselves and your relatives ceremonially clean and pure before you bring back the Ark of God, the Lord of Israel to the place I have made for it.
Iye anawawuza kuti, “Inu ndinu atsogoleri a mabanja a Alevi ndipo inu ndi abale anu Alevi mudziyeretse nokha ndi kubweretsa Bokosi la Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli ku malo amene ine ndalikonzera.
13 Because you weren't there the first time to carry the Ark the Lord our God burst out in violence against us. We didn't treat it in accordance with his instructions.”
Popeza kuti inu Alevi simunalinyamule poyamba paja, Yehova Mulungu wathu anatikantha. Sitinafunse momwe tikanachitira monga mmene Iyeyo anafotokozera.”
14 So the priests and the Levites purified themselves so that they could bring back the Ark of the Lord, the God of Israel.
Kotero ansembe ndi Alevi anadziyeretsa ndi cholinga chakuti akatenge Bokosi la Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli.
15 Then the Levites carried the Ark of God in the way that Moses had ordered, according to what God had said—on their shoulders using the special carrying poles.
Ndipo Alevi ananyamula Bokosi la Mulungu pa mapewa awo pa mitengo yake yonyamulira monga momwe Mose analamulira molingana ndi mawu a Yehova.
16 David also instructed the leaders of the Levites to assign from their relatives singers who would sing loudly for joy, accompanied by musicians playing lyres, and harps, and cymbals.
Davide anawuza atsogoleri a Alevi kuti asankhe abale awo kuti akhale oyimba nyimbo zachisangalalo, zoyimba ndi zida: azeze, apangwe ndi ziwaya za malipenga.
17 So the Levites assigned Heman the son of Joel; and from his relatives Asaph the son of Berechiah; and from the sons of Merari, their relatives, Ethan the son of Kushaiah.
Kotero Alevi anasankha Hemani mwana wa Yoweli; ndipo mwa abale ake anasankha Asafu mwana wa Berekiya; ndipo mwa ana a Merari, abale awo, anasankha Etani mwana wa Kusaya;
18 The second group of Levites consisted of Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah; and the gatekeepers Obed-edom and Jeiel.
ndipo pamodzi ndi iwowa abale awo otsatana nawo: Zekariya, Yaazieli, Semiramoti, Yehieli, Uni, Eliabu, Benaya, Maaseya, Matitiya, Elifelehu, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomu ndi Yeiyeli, alonda a pa chipata.
19 The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to strike the bronze cymbals;
Anthu oyimba aja Hemani, Asafu ndi Etani ndiwo ankayimba ziwaya za malipenga zamkuwa;
20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play harps “according to alamoth,”
Zekariya, Azieli, Semiramoti, Yehieli, Uni, Eliabu, Maaseya ndi Benaya ankayimba azeze a liwu lokwera;
21 while Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead the music with lyres “according to sheminith.”
ndipo Matitiya, Elifelehu, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomu, Yeiyeli ndi Azaziya ankayimba apangwe a liwu lotsika.
22 Kenaniah, the leader of the Levites in singing, was chosen to lead the music because of his ability.
Kenaniya, mtsogoleri wa Alevi anali woyangʼanira mayimbidwe; uwu ndiye unali udindo wake pakuti anali waluso pa zimenezi.
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were appointed to guard the Ark.
Berekiya ndi Elikana anali olondera pa khomo la bokosilo.
24 Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests were to blow the trumpets in front of the Ark of God. Obed-edom and Jehiah were also appointed to guard the Ark.
Ansembe awa; Sebaniya, Yehosafati, Netaneli, Amasai, Zekariya, Benaya ndi Eliezara ndiwo ankayimba malipenga patsogolo pa Bokosi la Mulungu. Obedi-Edomu ndi Yehiya analinso alonda a pa khomo la bokosilo.
25 Then David, the elders of Israel, and the senior army commanders, went with great celebration to bring back the Ark of the Lord's Agreement from the home of Obed-Edom.
Choncho Davide pamodzi ndi akuluakulu a Israeli ndiponso asilikali olamulira magulu a anthu 1,000, anapita kukatenga Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova ku nyumba ya Obedi-Edomu akukondwera.
26 Because God helped the Levites who carried the Ark of the Lord's Agreement, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
Popeza Mulungu anathandiza Alevi amene ananyamula Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova, anapereka nsembe ngʼombe zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri ndiponso nkhosa zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri.
27 David wore a robe of fine linen like all the Levites who were carrying the Ark, and the singers and Kenaniah the leader of the music and singers. David also wore a linen ephod.
Ndipo Davide anali atavala mkanjo wa nsalu yofewa yosalala, monga anavalira Alevi onse amene ananyamula bokosi pamodzi anthu oyimba, ndiponso Kenaniya, amene anali woyangʼanira magulu oyimba. Davide anavalanso efodi ya nsalu yofewa yosalala.
28 So all of Israel brought back the Ark of the Lord's Agreement with a lot of shouting, accompanied by horns, trumpets, and cymbals, and music played on harps and lyres.
Kotero Aisraeli onse anabweretsa Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova ndi mfuwu, ndiponso akuyimba zitoliro zanyanga zankhosa zazimuna, malipenga ndi maseche ndiponso akuyimba azeze ndi apangwe.
29 But as Ark of the Lord's Agreement entered the City of David, Saul's daughter Michal looked down from a window. Seeing David the king jumping and dancing for joy, she was full of contempt for him.
Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova likulowa mu Mzinda wa Davide, Mikala mwana wamkazi wa Sauli ankaona ali pa zenera. Ndipo ataona Mfumu Davide ikuvina ndi kukondwera, iye ananyoza Davideyo mu mtima mwake.
