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.
Daudi akajingea nyumba zake katika mji wa Daudi. Akaanda sehemu kwa ajili ya sanduku la Mungu na hema lake.
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.
Kisha Daudi akasema, “Walawi pekee ndio watabeba sanduku la Mungu, kwa kuwa walichaguliwa na Yahweh kubeba sanduku la Yahweh, na kumtumikia milele.”
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.
Kisha Daudi akakusanya Israeli yote Yerusalemu, kuleta sanduku la Yahweh sehemu aliyo iandaa.
4 And Dauid assembled the sonnes of Aaron, and the Leuites.
Daudi akakusanya uzao wa Aruni na Walawi pamoja.
5 Of the sonnes of Kohath, Vriel the chiefe, and his brethren sixe score.
Kutoka uzao wa Kohathi, palikuwa na Urieli kiongozi na ndugu zake, wanaume 120.
6 Of the sonnes of Merari, Asaiah the chiefe, and his brethren two hundreth and twentie.
Kutoka uzao wa Merari, palikuwa na Asaia kiongozi na ndugu zake, wanaume 220.
7 Of the sonnes of Gershom, Ioel the chiefe, and his brethren an hundreth and thirtie.
Kutoka uzao wa Gerishomu, palikuwa na Yoeli kiongozi na ndugu zake, wanaume 130.
8 Of the sonnes of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chiefe, and his brethren two hundreth.
Kutoka uzao wa Elizafani, palikuwa na Shemaia kiongozi na ndugu zake, wanaume 200.
9 Of the sonnes of Hebron, Eliel the chiefe, and his brethren fourescore.
Kutoka uzao wa Hebroni, palikuwa na Elieli kiongozi na ndugu zake, wanaume themanini.
10 Of the sonnes of Vzziel, Amminadab the chiefe, and his brethren an hundreth and twelue.
Kutoka uzao wa Uzieli, palikuwa na Aminadabu kiongozi na ndugu zake, wanaume 112.
11 And Dauid called Zadok and Abiathar the Priestes, and of the Leuites, Vriel, Asaiah and Ioel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab:
Daudi akaagiza Zadoki kuitwa na Abiathari kuhuani, na Walawi Urieli, Asaia, Yoeli, Shemaia, Elieli, na Aminadabu.
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.
Akasema, “Nyinyi ni viongozi wa familia za Kilawi. Jiwekeni wakfu, nyie na ndugu zenu, ilikwamba mlete sanduku la Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli, kwenye sehemu niliyo iandaa.
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.
Mara ya kwanza hamkubeba. Ndio maana Yahweh Mungu wetu akawa na hasira kwetu, kwa kuwa hatuku mtafuta wala kutii amri yake.”
14 So the Priestes and the Leuites sanctified them selues to bring vp the Arke of the Lord God of Israel.
Hivyo makuhani na Walawi waka jiweka wakfu iliwaweze kuleta sanduku la Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli.
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.
Walawi wakabeba sanduku la Mungu katika mabega yao na nguzo, kama Musa alivyo amuru-kwa kufuata sheria zilizo tolewa na Yahweh.
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.
Daudi akazungumza na viongozi wa Walawi kuwapangia ndugu zao kuwa wana muziki wenye vyombo vya muziki, vyombo vya uzi, vinubi na upatu, kwa kupiga kwa sauti na furaha wakipaza sauti zao.
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,
Hivyo Walawi wakamchagua Hemani mwana wa Yoeli na mmoja wa kaka zake, Asafu mwana wa Berekia. Pia walimchagua ndugu wa uzao wa Merari na Ethani mwana wa Kushaia.
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.
Pamoja nao walikuwa ndugu wa daraja la pili: Zekarai, Yaazieli, Shemiramothi, Yehieli, Uni, Eliabu, Benaia, Maasaeia, Matithia, Elifelehu, Mikineaia, Obedi Edomu, na Yeieli, mlinzi wa lango.
19 So Heman, Asaph and Ethan were fingers to make a sounde with cymbales of brasse,
Wanamuziki Hemani, Asafu, na Ethani walichaguliwa kupiga upatu wa shaba.
20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Vnni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah with violes on Alamoth,
Zekaria, Azieli, Shemiramothi, Yehieli, Uni Eliabu, Maaseia, na Benaia walicheza vyombo vya uzi.
21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneah, and Obed Edom, and Ieiel, and Azaziah, with harpes vpon Sheminith Ienazzeah.
Matithia, Elifelehu, Mikineia, Obedi Edomu, Yeieli, na Azazia waliongoza njia na vinubi.
22 But Chenaniah the chiefe of the Leuites had the charge, bearing ye burden in the charge, for he was able to instruct.
Kenania, kiongozi wa Walawi, aliongoza uimbaji sababu alikuwa mwalimu wa muziki.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters for the Arke.
Berekia na Elikana walikuwa walinzi wa sanduku.
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.
Shebania, Yoshafati, Nethanieli, Amasai, Zekaria, Benaia, na Eliezeri, makuhani, walikuwa wa kupuliza matarumbeta mbele ya sanduku la Mungu. Obedi Edomu na Yehia walikuwa walinzi wa sanduku.
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.
Hivyo Daudi, wazee wa Israeli, na wakuu wa maelfu wakaenda kuchukua sanduku la agano la Yahweh kutoka nyumba ya Obedi Edomu kwa shangwe.
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.
Wakati Mungu alipo wasaidia Walawi kubeba sanduku la agano la Yahweh, walitoa ng'ombe saba na mbuzi
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.
Daudi alivishwa joho safi la maridadi, pamoja na Walawi walio beba sanduku, waimbaji, na Kenania, kiongozi wa nyimbo na waimbaji. Daudi alivaa juu ya joho lake naivera.
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.
Hivyo Israeli yote wakaleta sanduku la agano la Yahweh na kelele za shangwe, na sauti za tarumbeta, ngoma za saani, na vyombo vya uzi na vinubi.
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.
Lakini sanduku la Yahweh lilivyokuja kwa mji wa Daudi, Mikali binti wa Sauli, alitazama nje ya dirisha, Akamuona Mfalme Daudi akicheza na kusherehekea. Kisha akamdharau moyoni mwake.
