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.
Fecit quoque sibi domos in Civitate David: et aedificavit locum arcae Dei, tetenditque ei tabernaculum.
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.'
Tunc dixit David: illicitum est ut a quocumque portetur arca Dei nisi a Levitis, quos elegit Dominus ad portandum eam, et ad ministrandum sibi usque in aeternum.
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.
Congregavitque universum Israel in Ierusalem, ut afferretur arca Dei in locum suum, quem praeparaverat ei.
4 And David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites;
Necnon et filios Aaron, et Levitas.
5 of the sons of Kohath: Uriel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty;
de filiis Caath, Uriel princeps fuit, et fratres eius centum viginti.
6 of the sons of Merari: Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty;
De filiis Merari, Asaia princeps: et fratres eius ducenti viginti.
7 of the sons of Gershom: Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty;
De filiis Gersom, Ioel princeps; et fratres eius centum triginta.
8 of the sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred;
De filiis Elisaphan, Semeias princeps, et fratres eius ducenti.
9 of the sons of Hebron: Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore;
De filiis Hebron, Eliel princeps; et fratres eius octoginta.
10 of the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve.
De filiis Oziel, Aminadab princeps: et fratres eius centum duodecim.
11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,
Vocavitque David Sadoc, et Abiathar Sacerdotes, et Levitas, Uriel, Asaiam, Ioel, Semeiam, Eliel, et Aminadab:
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.
et dixit ad eos: Vos qui estis principes familiarum Leviticarum, sanctificamini cum fratribus vestris, et afferte arcam Domini Dei Israel ad locum, qui ei praeparatus est:
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.'
ne ut a principio, quia non eratis praesentes, percussit nos Dominus; sic et nunc fiat, illicitum quid nobis agentibus.
14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Sanctificati sunt ergo Sacerdotes, et Levitae, ut portarent arcam Domini Dei Israel.
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.
Et tulerunt filii Levi arcam Dei, sicut praeceperat Moyses iuxta verbum Domini humeris suis in vectibus.
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.
Dixitque David principibus Levitarum, ut constituerent de fratribus suis cantores in organis musicorum, nablis videlicet, et lyris, et cymbalis, ut resonaret in excelsis sonitus laetitiae.
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;
Constitueruntque Levitas: Heman filium Ioel, et de fratribus eius Asaph filium Barachiae: de filiis vero Merari, fratribus eorum: Ethan filium Casaiae.
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.
Et cum eis fratres eorum: in secundo ordine, Zachariam, et Ben, et Iaziel, et Semiramoth, et Iahiel, et Ani, Eliab, et Banaiam, et Maasiam, et Mathathiam, et Eliphalu, et Maceniam, et Obededom, et Iehiel, ianitores.
19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed, with cymbals of brass to sound aloud;
Porro cantores, Heman, Asaph, et Ethan; in cymbalis aeneis concrepantes.
20 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries set to Alamoth;
Zacharias autem, et Oziel, et Semiramoth, et Iahiel, et Ani, et Eliab, et Maasias, et Banaias in nablis arcana cantabant.
21 and Mattithiah, and Eliphalehu, and Mikneiahu, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith, to lead.
Porro Mathathias, et Eliphalu, et Macenias, et Obededom, et Iehiel, et Ozaziu, in citharis pro octava canebant epinicion.
22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the song; he was master in the song, because he was skilful.
Chonenias autem princeps Levitarum, prophetiae praeerat, ad praecinendam melodiam: erat quippe valde sapiens.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were door-keepers for the ark.
Et Barachias, et Elcana: ianitores arcae.
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.
Porro Sebenias, et Iosaphat, et Nathanael, et Amasai, et Zacharias, et Banaias, et Eliezer sacerdotes, clangebant tubis coram arca Dei: et Obededom et Iehias erant ianitores arcae.
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.
Igitur David et omnes maiores natu Israel, et tribuni ierunt ad deportandam arcam foederis Domini de domo Obededom cum laetitia.
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.
Cumque adiuvisset Deus Levitas, qui portabant arcam foederis Domini, immolabantur septem tauri, et septem arietes.
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.
Porro David erat indutus stola byssina, et universi Levitae qui portabant arcam, cantoresque et Chonenias princeps prophetiae inter cantores: David autem etiam indutus erat ephod lineo.
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.
Universusque Israel deducebant arcam foederis Domini in iubilo, et sonitu buccinae, et tubis, et cymbalis, et nablis, et citharis concrepantes.
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.
Cumque pervenisset arca foederis Domini usque ad Civitatem David, Michol filia Saul prospiciens per fenestram, vidit regem David saltantem atque ludentem, et despexit eum in corde suo.
