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.
Siden byggede han sig Huse i Davidsbyen og beredte Guds Ark et Sted, idet han rejste den et Telt
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.”
Ved den Lejlighed sagde David: "Ingen andre end Leviterne må bære Guds Ark, thi dem har HERREN udvalgt til at bære Guds Ark og til at gøre Tjeneste for ham til evig Tid."
3 David summoned all of Israel to Jerusalem to bring the Ark of the Lord to the place he'd prepared for it.
Og David samlede hele Israel i Jerusalem for at føre HERRENs Ark op til det Sted, han havde beredt den.
4 This is the list of the Levites, the sons of Aaron, that David called to attend:
Og David samlede Arons Sønner og Leviterne:
5 From the sons of Kohath, Uriel (chief), and 120 of his relatives;
Af Kehatiterne Øversten Uriel og hans Brødre, 120;
6 from the sons of Merari, Asaiah (chief), with 220 of his relatives;
af Merariterne Øversten Asaja og hans Brødre, 220;
7 from the sons of Gershom, Joel (chief), with 130 of his relatives;
af Gersoniterne Øversten Joel og hans Brødre, 130;
8 from the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah (chief), with 200 of his relatives;
af Elizafans Sønner Øversten Sjemaja og hans Brødre, 200;
9 from the sons of Hebron, Eliel (chief), with 80 of his relatives;
af Hebrons Sønner Øversten Eliel og hans Brødre, 80;
10 from the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab (chief), with 112 of his relatives.
af Uzziels Sønner Øversten Amminadab og hans Brødre, 112.
11 Then David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
Så lod David Præsterne Zadok og Ebjatar og Leviterne Uriel, Asaja, Joel, Sjemaja, Eliel og Amminadab kalde
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.
og sagde til dem: "I er Overhoveder for Leviternes Fædrenehuse; helliger eder tillige med eders Brødre og før HERRENs, Israels Guds, Ark op til det Sted, jeg har beredt den;
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.”
det var jo, fordi I ikke var med første Gang, at HERREN vor Gud tilføjede os et Brud; thi vi søgte ham ikke på rette Måde."
14 So the priests and the Levites purified themselves so that they could bring back the Ark of the Lord, the God of Israel.
Så helligede Præsferne og Leviterne sig for at føre HERRENs, Israels Guds, Ark op;
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.
og Levis Sønner løftede med Bærestængerne Guds Ark op på Skuldrene, som Moses havde påbudt efter HERRENS Ord.
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.
Fremdeles bød David Leviternes Øverster at lade deres Brødre Sangerne stille sig op med Musikinstrumenter, Harper, Citre og Cymbler og lade høje Jubeltoner klinge.
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.
Så lod Leviterne Heman, Joels Søn, og af hans Brødre Asaf, Berekjas Søn, og af deres Brødre Merariterne Etan, Husjajas Søn, stille sig op
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.
og ved Siden af dem deres Brødre af anden Rang Zekarja, Uzziel, Sjemiramot, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaja, Ma'aseja, Mattitja, Elipelehu og Miknejahu og Dørvogterne Obed-Edom og Je'iel;
19 The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to strike the bronze cymbals;
Sangerne Heman, Asaf og Etan skulde spille på Kobbercymbler,
20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play harps “according to alamoth,”
Zekarja, Uzziel, Sjemiramot, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Ma'aseja og Benaja på Harper al-alamot;
21 while Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead the music with lyres “according to sheminith.”
Mattitja, Elipelehu, Miknejahu, Obed-Edom og Je'iel skulde lede Sangen med Citre al-hassjeminit;
22 Kenaniah, the leader of the Levites in singing, was chosen to lead the music because of his ability.
Konanja, Leviternes Øverste over dem, der bar, skulde lede disse, da han forstod sig derpå;
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were appointed to guard the Ark.
Berekja og Elkana skulde være Dørvogtere ved Arken;
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.
Præsterne Sjebanja, Josjafat, Netan'el, Amasaj, Zekarja, Benaja og Eliezer skulde blæse i Trompeterne foran Guds Ark; og Obed-Edom og Jehija skulde være Dørvogtere ved Arken.
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.
Derpå drog David, Israels Ældste og Tusindførerne hen for under Festglæde at lade HERRENs Pagts Ark bringe op fra Obed-Edoms Hus,
26 Because God helped the Levites who carried the Ark of the Lord's Agreement, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
og da Gud hjalp Leviterne, der har HERRENs Pagts Ark, ofrede man syv Tyre og syv Vædre.
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.
David har en fin linned Kappe, ligeledes alle Leviterne, der har Arken, og Sangerne og Konanja, som ledede dem, der bar. Og David var iført en linned Efod.
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.
Og hele Israel bragte HERRENs Pagts Ark op under Festjubel og til Hornets, Trompeternes og Cymblernes Klang, under Harpe- og Citerspil.
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.
Men da HERRENs Pagts Ark kom til Davidsbyen, så Sauls Datter Mikal ud af Vinduet, og da hun så Kong David springe og danse, ringeagtede hun ham i sit Hjerte.
