< 1 Chronicles 15 >
1 And David made him houses in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.
David fè yo bati anpil kay pou li nan lavil David la. Li pare yon anplasman pou Bwat Kontra Bondye a, li moute yon gwo tant twal pou li.
2 Then David said: 'None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites; for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of the LORD, and to minister unto Him for ever.'
Epi li di: -Se moun Levi yo ase ki pou pote Bwat Kontra Bondye a, paske se yo menm Seyè a te chwazi pou pote Bwat la, se yo li te chwazi pou sèvi l' pou tout tan.
3 And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto its place, which he had prepared for it.
Lèfini, li reyini tout pèp Izrayèl la lavil Jerizalèm pou yo pote Bwat Kontra a kote li te pare pou li a.
4 And David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites;
Apre sa, li voye chache tout moun nan ras fanmi Arawon yo ansanm ak moun Levi yo.
5 of the sons of Kohath: Uriel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty;
Nan branch fanmi Keyat la, te gen Ouryèl, chèf la, ak tout fanmi l' yo. Sa te fè antou sanven (120).
6 of the sons of Merari: Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty;
Nan branch fanmi Merari a, te gen Asaja, chèf la, ak tout fanmi l' yo. Sa te fè antou desanven (220).
7 of the sons of Gershom: Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty;
Nan branch fanmi Gèchon an, te gen Joèl, chèf la, ak tout fanmi l' yo. Sa te fè antou santrant (130).
8 of the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred;
Nan branch fanmi Elizafan an, te gen Semaja, chèf la, ak tout fanmi l' yo. Sa te fè antou desan (200).
9 of the sons of Hebron: Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore;
Nan branch fanmi Ebwon an, te gen Eliyèl, chèf la, ak tout fanmi l' yo. Sa te fè antou katreven.
10 of the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve.
Nan branch fanmi Ouzyèl la te gen Aminadad, chèf la, ak tout fanmi l' yo. Sa te fè antou sandouz (112).
11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,
David rele Zadòk ak Abyata, prèt yo, ansanm ak sis moun Levi: Ouryèl, Asaja, Joèl, Chemaja, Eliyèl ak Aminadad.
12 and said unto them: 'Ye are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, unto the place that I have prepared for it.
Li di yo: -Se nou menm ki chèf branch fanmi Levi yo. Mete nou nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Bondye, nou menm ansanm ak tout moun nan fanmi nou, pou nou ka al pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, kote mwen fè pare pou li a.
13 For because ye bore it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought Him not according to the ordinance.'
Premye fwa a, nou pa t' la. Se poutèt sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te touye kèk nan nou paske nou pa t' fè l' jan nou te dwe fè l' la.
14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Se konsa, prèt yo ak moun Levi yo al mete yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye, pou yo te ka al pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
15 And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the bars thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.
Yo mete Bwat la sou gwo travès long yo, yo leve l' mete l' sou zepòl yo, yo pote l' ale jan Moyiz te ba yo lòd fè l' la dapre pawòl Seyè a.
16 And David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren the singers, with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up the voice with joy.
David bay chèf moun Levi yo lòd pou yo chwazi divès moun nan fanmi yo ki konn chante, pou yo vini ak enstriman mizik yo, gita, bandjo ak senbal, pou jwe mizik cho paske kè tout moun te kontan.
17 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;
Moun Levi yo chwazi Eyman, pitit gason Joèl la, ansanm ak Asaf, pitit gason Berekya, yon fanmi Eyman, ak Etan, pitit gason Kouchaja nan branch fanmi Merari a, fanmi ak de lòt premye yo.
18 and with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphalehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers.
Apre sa, yo chwazi lòt moun Levi nan menm fanmi ak premye yo, pou ede yo nan travay yo. Se te Zakari, Aziyèl, Semiramòt, Jekiyèl, Ouni, Eliyab, Benaja, Maseja, Matitya, Elifeleou, Mikneja, ak de gad pòtay tanp lan, Obèd-Edon ak Jeyèl.
19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed, with cymbals of brass to sound aloud;
Eyman, Asaf ak Etan, sanba yo, te reskonsab pou bat senbal kwiv yo pou fè mizik.
20 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries set to Alamoth;
Zakari, Aziyèl, Semiramòt, Jekiyèl, Ouni, Eliyab, Maseja ak Benaja t'ap jwe premye gita yo.
21 and Mattithiah, and Eliphalehu, and Mikneiahu, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith, to lead.
Matitya, Elifeleou, Mikneja, Obèd-Edon, Jeyèl ak Azazya t'ap jwe gita bas. Se yo ki pou te bay kadans chante yo.
22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the song; he was master in the song, because he was skilful.
Se Kenanya, chèf moun Levi ki te reskonsab pote Bwat la, ki t'ap dirije yo, paske li te fò nan fè travay konsa.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were door-keepers for the ark.
Se Berekya ak Elkana ki t'ap pote Bwat Kontra a.
24 And Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.
Men non prèt yo te chwazi pou kònen twonpèt devan Bwat Kontra a. Se te Chebanyas, Jozafa, Netaneyèl, Amasayi, Zakari, Benaja ak Elyezè. Obèd-Edon ak Jebija te la pou pote Bwat Kontra a tou.
25 So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obed-edom with joy.
Se konsa David ak tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo ansanm ak tout chèf rejiman mil sòlda yo ale lakay Obèd-Edon, yo pran Bwat Kontra a pou yo pote l' lavil Jerizalèm ak kè kontan.
26 And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they sacrificed seven bullocks and seven rams.
Yo touye sèt towo ak sèt belye pou Bondye te ka ede moun Levi ki t'ap pote Bwat Kontra a.
27 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the singers in the song; and David had upon him an ephod of linen.
David te gen yon rad fèt ak twal fin blan sou li, menm jan ak tout moun Levi yo ki t'ap mache devan Bwat Kontra a, sanba yo ak Kenaja ki t'ap dirije travay transpò a. David te gen yon moso twal fin blan tou mare nan ren li.
28 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the horn, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with psalteries and harps.
Se konsa, tout pèp Izrayèl la ale ansanm ak Bwat Kontra Seyè a, yo pote l' lavil Jerizalèm. Yo t'ap rele, yo t'ap fè fèt. Yo t'ap jwe klewon, twonpèt, senbal, gita ak bandjo sou tout wout la.
29 And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and making merry; and she despised him in her heart.
Antan yo t'ap antre ak Bwat Kontra a lavil Jerizalèm, Mikal, pitit fi Sayil la, te kanpe bò yon fennèt ap gade. Li wè David ki t'ap danse fè laviwonn devan Bwat la. Li vin pa gen yon san pou li ankò.
