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.
Fez tambem casa para si na cidade de David; e preparou um logar para a arca de Deus, e armou-lhe uma tenda.
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.”
Então disse David: Ninguem pode levar a arca de Deus, senão os levitas; porque o Senhor os elegeu, para levar a arca de Deus, e para o servirem eternamente.
3 David summoned all of Israel to Jerusalem to bring the Ark of the Lord to the place he'd prepared for it.
E David ajuntou a todo o Israel em Jerusalem, para fazerem subir a arca do Senhor ao seu logar, que lhe tinha preparado.
4 This is the list of the Levites, the sons of Aaron, that David called to attend:
E David ajuntou os filhos de Aarão e os levitas.
5 From the sons of Kohath, Uriel (chief), and 120 of his relatives;
Dos filhos de Kohath: Uriel, o principe, e de seus irmãos cento e vinte.
6 from the sons of Merari, Asaiah (chief), with 220 of his relatives;
Dos filhos de Merari: Asaias, o principe, e de seus irmãos duzentos e vinte.
7 from the sons of Gershom, Joel (chief), with 130 of his relatives;
Dos filhos de Gersom: Joel, o principe, e de seus irmãos cento e trinta.
8 from the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah (chief), with 200 of his relatives;
Dos filhos de Elisaphan: Semaias o principe, e de seus irmãos duzentos.
9 from the sons of Hebron, Eliel (chief), with 80 of his relatives;
Dos filhos de Hebron: Eliel, o principe, e de seus irmãos oitenta.
10 from the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab (chief), with 112 of his relatives.
Dos filhos de Uziel: Amminadab, o principe, e de seus irmãos cento e doze.
11 Then David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
E chamou David os sacerdotes Zadok e Abiathar, e os levitas, Uriel, Asaias, Joel, Semaias, Eliel, e Amminadab;
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.
E disse-lhes: Vós sois os chefes dos paes entre os levitas: sanctificae-vos, vós e vossos irmãos, para que façaes subir a arca do Senhor, Deus de Israel, ao logar que lhe tenho preparado.
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.”
Pois que, porquanto primeiro vós assim o não fizestes, o Senhor fez rotura em nós, porque o não buscámos segundo a ordenança.
14 So the priests and the Levites purified themselves so that they could bring back the Ark of the Lord, the God of Israel.
Sanctificaram-se pois os sacerdotes e levitas, para fazerem subir a arca do Senhor Deus de Israel.
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.
E os filhos dos levitas trouxeram a arca de Deus aos hombros, como Moysés tinha ordenado, conforme a palavra do Senhor, com as varas que tinham sobre si.
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.
E disse David aos principes dos levitas que constituissem a seus irmãos, os cantores, com instrumentos musicos, com alaudes, harpas e cymbalos, para que se fizessem ouvir, levantando a voz com alegria.
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.
Ordenaram pois os levitas a Heman, filho de Joel; e dos seus irmãos, a Asaph, filho de Berechias, e dos filhos de Merari, seus irmãos, a Ethan, filho de Kusaias.
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.
E com elles a seus irmãos da segunda ordem: a Zacharias, Ben, e Jaaziel, e Semiramoth, e Jehiel, e Uni, Eliab, e Benaias, e Maaseias, e Mattithias, e Eliphelehu, e Mikneias, e Obed-edom, e Jeiel, os porteiros.
19 The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to strike the bronze cymbals;
E os cantores, Heman, Asaph e Ethan, se faziam ouvir com cymbalos de metal;
20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play harps “according to alamoth,”
E Zacharias, e Aziel, e Semiramoth, e Jehiel, e Uni, e Eliab, e Maaseias, e Benaias, com alaudes, sobre Alamoth:
21 while Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead the music with lyres “according to sheminith.”
E Mattithias e Eliphelehu, e Mikneias, e Obed-edom, e Jeiel, e Azazias, com harpas, sobre Seminith, para esforçar o tom.
22 Kenaniah, the leader of the Levites in singing, was chosen to lead the music because of his ability.
E Chenanias, principe dos levitas, tinha cargo de entoar o canto; ensinava-os a entoal-o, porque era entendido.
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were appointed to guard the Ark.
E Berechias e Elkana eram porteiros da arca.
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.
E Sebanias, e Josaphat, e Nethaneel, e Amasai, e Zacharias, e Benaias, e Eliezer, os sacerdotes, tocavam as trombetas perante a arca de Deus: e Obed-edom e Jehias eram porteiros da arca.
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.
Succedeu pois que David e os anciãos d'Israel, e os capitães dos milhares, foram para fazer subir a arca do concerto do Senhor, da casa de Obed-edom, com alegria.
26 Because God helped the Levites who carried the Ark of the Lord's Agreement, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
E succedeu que, ajudando Deus os levitas que levavam a arca do concerto do Senhor, sacrificaram sete novilhos e sete carneiros.
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.
E David ia vestido de um roupão de linho fino, como tambem todos os levitas que levavam a arca, e os cantores, e Chenanias, chefe dos que levavam a arca e dos cantores; tambem David levava sobre si um ephod de linho.
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.
E todo o Israel fez subir a arca do concerto do Senhor, com jubilo, e com sonido de buzinas, e com trombetas, e com cymbalos, fazendo sonido com alaudes e com harpas.
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.
E succedeu que, chegando a arca do concerto do Senhor á cidade de David, Michal, a filha de Saul, olhou d'uma janella, e, vendo a David dançar e tocar, o desprezou no seu coração.
