1 Chronicles 15

1 And Dauid made him houses in the citie of Dauid, and prepared a place for the Arke of God, and pitched for it a tent.

Esi David wu xɔtutu nu na eɖokui le David ƒe Du la me vɔ la, edzra teƒe aɖe ɖo na Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la, hetu agbadɔ nɛ

2 Then Dauid saide, None ought to carie the Arke of God, but the Leuites: for the Lord hath chosen them to beare the Arke of the Lord, and to minister vnto him for euer.

eye wòde se be, “Ne mietsɔ nubablaɖaka la va da ɖe eƒe nɔƒe yeyea la, Levitɔwo koe atsɔe elabena woawoe Yehowa tia na dɔ sia wɔwɔ; woawoe awɔ subɔsubɔdɔ nɛ tegbetegbee.”

3 And Dauid gathered all Israel together to Ierusalem to bring vp the Arke of the Lord vnto his place, which he had ordeined for it.

Le esia megbe la, David yɔ Israel dukɔ blibo la va Yerusalem be woaɖatsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la va da ɖe teƒe si wòdzra ɖo ɖi nɛ.

4 And Dauid assembled the sonnes of Aaron, and the Leuites.

Eyɔ Aron ƒe dzidzimeviwo kple Levitɔwo ƒo ƒu:

5 Of the sonnes of Kohath, Vriel the chiefe, and his brethren sixe score.

Ame alafa ɖeka blaeve tso Kohat ƒe viwo dome, woƒe Nunɔlae nye Uriel.

6 Of the sonnes of Merari, Asaiah the chiefe, and his brethren two hundreth and twentie.

Ame alafa eve blaeve si nu, Asaya nɔ la tso Merari ƒe viwo dome.

7 Of the sonnes of Gershom, Ioel the chiefe, and his brethren an hundreth and thirtie.

Ame alafa ɖeka blaetɔ̃ siwo nu, Yoel nɔ la, tso Gerson ƒe viwo dome.

8 Of the sonnes of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chiefe, and his brethren two hundreth.

Ame alafa eve siwo nu, Semaya nɔ la, tso Elizafan ƒe viwo dome.

9 Of the sonnes of Hebron, Eliel the chiefe, and his brethren fourescore.

Ame blaenyi, ame siwo nu, Eliel nɔ la tso Hebron ƒe viwo dome,

10 Of the sonnes of Vzziel, Amminadab the chiefe, and his brethren an hundreth and twelue.

eye ame alafa ɖeka wuieve siwo nu, Aminadab nɔ la tso Uziel ƒe viwo dome.

11 And Dauid called Zadok and Abiathar the Priestes, and of the Leuites, Vriel, Asaiah and Ioel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab:

David yɔ Zadok kple Abiata, ame siwo nye Nunɔlagãwo kple Uriel, Asaya, Yoel, Semaya, Eliel kple Aminadab, ame siwo nye Levi ƒe viwo ƒe kplɔlawo

12 And he saide vnto them, Ye are the chiefe fathers of the Leuites: sanctifie your selues, and your brethren, and bring vp the Arke of the Lord God of Israel vnto the place that I haue prepared for it.

eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Miawoe nye Levitɔwo ƒe kplɔlawo. Azɔ la, mi kple mia nɔviwo katã mikɔ mia ɖokuiwo ŋu ale be miatsɔ Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe nubablaɖaka la va teƒe si medzra ɖo ɖi nɛ.

13 For because ye were not there at the first, the Lord our God made a breach among vs: for we sought him not after due order.

Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe mia ŋu esi mienɔ nubablaɖaka la kɔm elabena esi mi Levitɔwo míenɔ anyi gbe ma gbe o la, míebia Yehowa se nu si miawɔ la o.”

14 So the Priestes and the Leuites sanctified them selues to bring vp the Arke of the Lord God of Israel.

Ale Nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋuti hedzra ɖo ɖe Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe nubablaɖaka la tsɔtsɔ gbɔe ŋu.

15 And the sonnes of the Leuites bare the Arke of God vpon their shoulders with the barres, as Moses had commanded, according to the worde of the Lord.

Levitɔwo tsɔ nubablaɖaka la ɖe abɔta kple etsɔtiwo abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene la tututu.

16 And Dauid spake to the chiefe of the Leuites, that they should appoint certaine of their brethren to sing with instruments of musike, with violes and harpes, and cymbales, that they might make a sounde, and lift vp their voyce with ioye.

Fia David na Levitɔwo ƒo ƒu hadzilawo nu eye wodzi ha sesĩe kple dzidzɔ ɖe saŋkuwo, kasaŋkuwo kple gakogoewo ƒe ɖiɖi ŋu.

17 So the Leuites appointed Heman the sonne of Ioel, and of his brethren Asaph the sonne of Berechiah, and of the sonnes of Merari their brethren, Ethan the sonne of Kushaiah,

Ame siwo kpɔ hadzidzi kple nu siwo woƒo kpe ɖe eŋu dzi la woe nye Heman, Yoel ƒe vi kple Asaf, Berekia ƒe vi kple Etan, Kusaya ƒe vi, tso Merari ƒe viwo dome.

18 And with them their brethren in the seconde degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Iaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Vnni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneah, and Obed Edom, and Ieiel the porters.

Woƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwoe nye Zekaria, Yaaziel, Semiramɔt, Yehiel, Uni, Eliab, Benaya, Maaseya, Matitia, Elifelehu, Mikneya, Obed Edom kple Yeiel, ame siwo nye agbonudzɔlawo.

19 So Heman, Asaph and Ethan were fingers to make a sounde with cymbales of brasse,

Wotia Heman, Asaf kple Etan be woaƒo akɔbligakogoewo

20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Vnni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah with violes on Alamoth,

eye wotia ame enyi siawo: Zekaria, Ariel, Semiramɔt, Yehiel, Uni, Eliab, Maaseya kple Benaya be woaƒo kasaŋku gbevitɔwo ɖe alamot ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu.

21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneah, and Obed Edom, and Ieiel, and Azaziah, with harpes vpon Sheminith Ienazzeah.

Ame siwo wotia be woaƒo kasaŋku gbegãtɔwo ɖe seminit ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu woe nye: Matitia, Elifelehu, Mikneya, Obed Edom, Yeiel kple Azazia.

22 But Chenaniah the chiefe of the Leuites had the charge, bearing ye burden in the charge, for he was able to instruct.

Hadoɖalae nye Kenania, Levitɔwo Nunɔla; wotiae ɖe eƒe nunya ta.

23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters for the Arke.

Berekia kple Elkana nye nubablaɖaka la ŋu dzɔlawo.

24 And Shecaniah and Iehoshaphat and Nethaneel and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the Priestes did blowe with trumpets before the Arke of God, and Obed Edom and Ieiiah were porters for the Arke.

Sebania, Yosafat, Netanel, Amasai, Zekaria, Benaya kple Eliezer, ame siwo katã nye nunɔlawo la, nye kpẽkulawo eye wonɔ ŋgɔ na ameawo katã. Obed Edom kple Yehia dzɔ nubablaɖaka la ƒe agbo ŋu.

25 So Dauid and the Elders of Israel and the captaines of thousandes went to bring vp the Arke of the couenant of the Lord from the house of Obed Edom with ioye.

Ale David kple Israel ƒe dumegãwo kple ame akpewo ƒe aʋafiawo yi Obed Edom ƒe aƒe me be woatsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la tso afi ma kple aseyetsotso.

26 And because that God helped the Leuites that bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, they offered seuen bullockes and seuen rammes.

Esi Yehowa kpe ɖe Levitɔ siwo tsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la ŋu ta la, wotsɔ nyitsu adre kple agbo adre sa vɔe.

27 And Dauid had on him a linen garment, as all the Leuites that bare the Arke, and the singers and Chenaniah that had the chiefe charge of the singers: and vpon Dauid was a linnen Ephod.

Azɔ la, David do awu ʋlaya si wotɔ kple aklala biɖibiɖi; nenema kee nye Levitɔ siwo tsɔ nubablaɖaka la. Nenema kee nye hadzilawo kple Kenania hã, ame si nɔ hadzihawo nu. David ya do aklala si nɔ biɖibiɖi ƒe kɔmewu ɖe etɔ dzi.

28 Thus all Israel brought vp the Arke of the Lordes couenant with shouting and sounde of cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbales, making a sound with violes and with harpes.

Ale Israel katã tsɔ dzidzɔɣlidodo, lãdzowo kple kpẽwo kuku, gakogoewo kple saŋkuwo kple kasaŋkuwo ƒoƒo sesĩe tsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la yi Yerusalem.

29 And when the Arke of the couenant of the Lord came into the citie of Dauid, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at a windowe, and sawe King Dauid dauncing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.

Esi Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la va ɖo David ƒe Du la me la, Saul ƒe vinyɔnu, Mixal, nɔ wo kpɔm to fesre nu eye esi wòkpɔ Fia David wònɔ ɣe ɖum, nɔ aglo tum kple dzidzɔ la, edo vloe le eƒe dzime.
