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.
fecit quoque sibi domos in civitate David et aedificavit locum arcae Dei tetenditque ei tabernaculum
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.”
tunc dixit David inlicitum est ut a quocumque portetur arca Dei nisi a Levitis quos elegit Dominus ad portandum eam et ad ministrandum sibi usque in aeternum
3 David summoned all of Israel to Jerusalem to bring the Ark of the Lord to the place he'd prepared for it.
congregavitque universum Israhel in Hierusalem ut adferretur arca Dei in locum suum quem praeparaverat ei
4 This is the list of the Levites, the sons of Aaron, that David called to attend:
necnon et filios Aaron et Levitas
5 From the sons of Kohath, Uriel (chief), and 120 of his relatives;
de filiis Caath Urihel princeps fuit et fratres eius centum viginti
6 from the sons of Merari, Asaiah (chief), with 220 of his relatives;
de filiis Merari Asaia princeps et fratres eius ducenti viginti
7 from the sons of Gershom, Joel (chief), with 130 of his relatives;
de filiis Gersom Iohel princeps et fratres eius centum triginta
8 from the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah (chief), with 200 of his relatives;
de filiis Elisaphan Semeias princeps et fratres eius ducenti
9 from the sons of Hebron, Eliel (chief), with 80 of his relatives;
de filiis Hebron Elihel princeps et fratres eius octoginta
10 from the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab (chief), with 112 of his relatives.
de filiis Ozihel Aminadab princeps et fratres eius centum duodecim
11 Then David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
vocavitque David Sadoc et Abiathar sacerdotes et Levitas Urihel Asaiam Iohel Semeiam Elihel et Aminadab
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.
et dixit ad eos vos qui estis principes familiarum leviticarum sanctificamini cum fratribus vestris et adferte arcam Domini Dei Israhel ad locum qui ei praeparatus est
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.”
ne ut a principio quia non eratis praesentes percussit nos Dominus sic et nunc fiat inlicitum quid nobis agentibus
14 So the priests and the Levites purified themselves so that they could bring back the Ark of the Lord, the God of Israel.
sanctificati sunt ergo sacerdotes et Levitae ut portarent arcam Domini Dei Israhel
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.
et tulerunt filii Levi arcam Dei sicut praeceperat Moses iuxta verbum Domini umeris suis in vectibus
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.
dixit quoque David principibus Levitarum ut constituerent de fratribus suis cantores in organis musicorum nablis videlicet et lyris et cymbalis ut resonaret in excelsum sonitus laetitiae
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.
constitueruntque Levitas Heman filium Iohel et de fratribus eius Asaph filium Barachiae de filiis vero Merari fratribus eorum Ethan filium Casaiae
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.
et cum eis fratres eorum in secundo ordine Zacchariam et Ben et Iazihel et Semiramoth et Iahihel et Ani Eliab et Banaiam et Maasiam et Matthathiam et Eliphalu et Macheniam et Obededom et Ieihel ianitores
19 The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to strike the bronze cymbals;
porro cantores Heman Asaph et Ethan in cymbalis aeneis concrepantes
20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play harps “according to alamoth,”
Zaccharias autem et Ozihel et Semiramoth et Iahihel et Ani et Eliab et Maasias et Banaias in nablis arcana cantabant
21 while Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead the music with lyres “according to sheminith.”
porro Matthathias et Eliphalu et Machenias et Obededom et Ieihel et Ozaziu in citharis pro octava canebant epinikion
22 Kenaniah, the leader of the Levites in singing, was chosen to lead the music because of his ability.
Chonenias autem princeps Levitarum prophetiae praeerat ad praecinendam melodiam erat quippe valde sapiens
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were appointed to guard the Ark.
et Barachias et Helcana ianitores arcae
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.
porro Sebenias et Iosaphat et Nathanahel et Amasai et Zaccharias et Banaias et Eliezer sacerdotes clangebant tubis coram arca Dei et Obededom et Ahias erant ianitores arcae
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.
igitur David et maiores natu Israhel et tribuni ierunt ad deportandam arcam foederis Domini de domo Obededom cum laetitia
26 Because God helped the Levites who carried the Ark of the Lord's Agreement, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
cumque adiuvisset Deus Levitas qui portabant arcam foederis Domini immolabantur septem tauri et septem arietes
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.
porro David erat indutus stola byssina et universi Levitae qui portabant arcam cantoresque et Chonenias princeps prophetiae inter cantores David autem indutus erat etiam ephod lineo
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.
universusque Israhel deducebant arcam foederis Domini in iubilo et sonitu bucinae et tubis et cymbalis et nablis et citharis concrepantes
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.
cumque pervenisset arca foederis Domini usque ad civitatem David Michol filia Saul prospiciens per fenestram vidit regem David saltantem atque ludentem et despexit eum in corde suo
