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.
दाऊदले आफ्नो निम्ति दाऊदको सहरमा भवनहरू बनाए । तिनले परमेश्वरका सन्दूकको निम्ति एउटा ठाउँ तयार गरे र त्यसको लागि एउटा पाल टाँगे ।
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.”
तब दाऊदले भने, “परमेश्वरको सन्दूक लेवीहरूले मात्र बोकून, किनकि परमप्रभुको सन्दूक बोक्न र सदासर्वदा उहाँको सेवा गर्न परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई नै चुन्नुभएको थियो ।”
3 David summoned all of Israel to Jerusalem to bring the Ark of the Lord to the place he'd prepared for it.
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुको सन्दूकलाई त्यसको निम्ति तयार गरिएको ठाउँमा ल्याउनलाई दाऊदले सारा इस्राएललाई यरूशलेममा भेला गराए ।
4 This is the list of the Levites, the sons of Aaron, that David called to attend:
दाऊदले हारूनका सन्तानहरू र लेवीहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला गराए ।
5 From the sons of Kohath, Uriel (chief), and 120 of his relatives;
कहातका सन्तानबाट मुखिया उरीएल र तिनका आफन्तहरू १२० जना थिए ।
6 from the sons of Merari, Asaiah (chief), with 220 of his relatives;
मरारीका सन्तानबाट मुखिया असायाह र तिनका आफन्तहरू २२० जना थिए ।
7 from the sons of Gershom, Joel (chief), with 130 of his relatives;
गेर्शोनका सन्तानबाट मुखिया योएल र तिनका आफन्तहरू १३० जना थिए ।
8 from the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah (chief), with 200 of his relatives;
एलीजापानका सन्तानबाट मुखिया शमायाह र तिनका आफन्तहरू २०० जना थिए ।
9 from the sons of Hebron, Eliel (chief), with 80 of his relatives;
हेब्रोनका सन्तानबाट एलीएल मुखिया र तिनका आफन्तहरू ८० जना थिए ।
10 from the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab (chief), with 112 of his relatives.
उज्जीएलका सन्तानबाट मुखिया अम्मीनादाब र तिनका आफन्तहरू ११२ जना थिए ।
11 Then David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
दाऊदले सादोक र अबियाथार पुजारीहरू, अनि लेवी उरीएल, असायाह, योएल, शमायाह, एलीएल र अम्मीनादाबलाई बोलाए ।
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.
तिनले उनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू लेवीहरूका परिवारका मुखियाहरू हौ । तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइले आफूलाई पवित्र गर, ताकि परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको सन्दूक राख्न मैले तयार पारेको ठाउँमा तिमीहरूले त्यसलाई ल्याउन सक्छौ ।
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.”
तिमीहरूले यसलाई पहिलो पल्ट बोकेनौ । यसैले परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर हामीमाथि क्रोधित हुनुभयो, किनकि हामीले उहाँको खोजी गरेनौं वा उहाँको आज्ञा पालन गरेनौं ।”
14 So the priests and the Levites purified themselves so that they could bring back the Ark of the Lord, the God of Israel.
यसैले परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको सन्दूकलाई तिनीहरूले ल्याउन सकून् भनेर पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूले आफैलाई पवित्र गरे ।
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.
यसैले परमप्रभुको वचनको अनुरण गरेर मोशाले आज्ञा दिएझैं लेवीहरूले परमेश्वरको सन्दूकलाई आ-आफ्ना काँधमा डन्डाले बोकेर ल्याए ।
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.
लेवीहरूका मुखियाहरूले आ-आफ्ना दाजुभाइलाई बाजा, सारङ्गी, वीणा र झ्यालीको साथ ठुलो स्वरमा र आफ्ना स्वरहरू उचालेर आनन्दका साथ सङ्गीत बजाउनको निम्ति नियुक्त गरून् भनी दाऊदले हुकुम दिए ।
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.
यसैले लेवीहरूले योएलका छोरा हेमान, र तिनका दाजुभाइमध्ये बेरेक्याहका छोरा आसापलाई नियुक्त गरे । तिनीहरूले मरारीहरूको सन्तानका आफन्त कूशायाहका छोरा एतानलाई पनि नियुक्त गरे ।
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.
तिनीहरूसँगै दोस्रो दर्जाका आफन्तहरू थिएः जकरिया, याजीएल, शमीरामोत, यहीएल, उन्नी, एलीआब, बनायाह, मासेयाह, मत्तित्याह, एलीपलेहू, मिक्नेयाह, अनि ढोकाका सुरक्षा गार्डहरू ओबेद-एदोम र यीएल ।
19 The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to strike the bronze cymbals;
सङ्गीतकार हेमान, आसाप र एतानलाई ठुलो आवाज निकाल्ने काँसका झ्यालीहरू बजाउन नियुक्त गरियो ।
20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play harps “according to alamoth,”
जकरिया, अजीएल, शमीरामोत, यहीएल, उन्नी, एलीआब, मासेयाह र बनायाहले सारङ्गीमा अलामोत राग बजाए ।
21 while Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead the music with lyres “according to sheminith.”
मत्तित्याह, एलीपलेहू, मिक्नेयाह, ओबेद-एदोम, यीएल र अजज्याहले वीणामा शिमिनिथ राग बजाएर बाटोमा अगि लागे ।
22 Kenaniah, the leader of the Levites in singing, was chosen to lead the music because of his ability.
लेवीहरूका अगुवा कनन्याह सङ्गीतका निर्देशक थिए, किनकि तिनी सङ्गीत गुरु थिए ।
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were appointed to guard the Ark.
बेरेक्याह र एल्काना सन्दूकका गार्डहरू थिए ।
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.
शबन्याह, योशापात, नतनेल, अमासै, जकरिया, बनायाह र एलीएजर पुजारीहरूले परमेश्वरका सन्दूकको अगि तुरही बजाउनुपर्थ्यो । ओबेद-एदोम र येहियाह पनि सन्दूकका गार्डहरू थिए ।
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.
यसैले दाऊद र इस्राएलका धर्म-गुरुहरू र हजार-हजारका फौजका कमाण्डरहरू ओबेद-एदोमको घरबाट परमप्रभुका करारको सन्दूक ल्याउनलाई रमाउँदै गए ।
26 Because God helped the Levites who carried the Ark of the Lord's Agreement, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
परमप्रभुका करारको सन्दूक बोक्ने लेवीहरूलाई परमेश्वरले सहायता गर्नुभएको हुनाले तिनीहरूले सात वटा साँढे र सात वटा भेडा बलिदान चढाए ।
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.
सन्दूक बोक्ने लेवीहरू, गायकहरू र गायकका मुखिया कनन्याहले जस्तै दाऊदले पनि असल मलमलका लुगा लाएका थिए । दाऊदले मलमलको एपोद लाएका थिए ।
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.
यसरी सबै इस्राएलले आनन्दले कराउँदै सीङ र तुरहीहरूका आवाजमा र झ्याली, सारङ्गी र वीणा बजाउँदै परमप्रभुका करारको सन्दूक ल्याए ।
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.
तर जब परमप्रभुका करारको सन्दूक दाऊदको सहरमा ल्याइयो, शाऊलकी छोरी मीकलले झ्यालबाट बाहिर हेरिन् । उनले दाऊद राजालाई नाच्दै र उत्सव मनाउँदै गरेका देखिन् । तब उनले आफ्नो मनमा तिनलाई तुच्छ ठानिन् ।
