1 Chronicles 15
1 And [David] made himself houses in the city of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.
Dawudi bwe yamala okwezimbira embiri ze mu kibuga kya Dawudi, n’ategekera essanduuko ya Katonda ekifo, n’agikubira eweema.
2 Then said David, None shall carry the ark of God but the Levites; for of them hath the Lord made choice to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever.
Awo Dawudi n’ayogera nti, “Tewali muntu yenna akkirizibwa kusitula essanduuko ya Katonda wabula Abaleevi, kubanga Mukama be yalonda okugisitula, era n’okumuweerezanga ennaku zonna.”
3 And David assembled all Israel to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord unto its place, which he had prepared for it.
Dawudi n’akuŋŋaanya Abayisirayiri bonna mu Yerusaalemi, okulinnyisa essanduuko ya Mukama mu kifo kyayo kye yali agitegekedde.
4 And David gathered together the children of Aaron, and the Levites.
N’ayita abazzukulu ba Alooni n’Abaleevi:
5 Of the sons of Kehath: Uriel the chief, and his brethren one hundred and twenty.
ku bazzukulu ba Kokasi, Uliyeri omukulembeze ne baganda be kikumi mu abiri;
6 Of the sons of Merari: 'Assayah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty.
ku bazzukulu ba Merali, Asaya omukulembeze ne baganda be bibiri mu abiri;
7 Of the sons of Gershom: Joel the chief, and his brethren one hundred and thirty.
ku bazzukulu ba Gerusomu, Yoweeri omukulembeze ne baganda be kikumi mu asatu;
8 Of the sons of Elizaphan: Shema'yah the chief, and his brethren two hundred.
ku bazzukulu ba Erizafani, Semaaya omukulembeze ne baganda be ebikumi bibiri,
9 Of the sons of Hebron: Eliel the chief, and his brethren eighty.
ku bazzukulu ba Kebbulooni, Eryeri omukulembeze ne baganda be kinaana;
10 Of the sons of 'Uzziel: 'Amminadab the chief, and his brethren one hundred and twelve.
ku bazzukulu ba Wuziyeeri, Amminadaabu omukulembeze ne baganda be kikumi mu kkumi na babiri.
11 And David called for Zadok and Ebyathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, 'Assayah, and Joel, Shema'yah, and Eliel, and 'Amminadab,
Awo Dawudi n’atumya Zadooki ne Abiyasaali bakabona, ne Uliyeri, ne Asaya, ne Yoweeri, ne Semaaya, ne Eryeri ne Amminadaabu Abaleevi,
12 And he said unto them, Ye are the chiefs of the family divisions of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, ye and your brethren, and bring up the ark of the Lord the God of Israel unto [the place which] I have prepared for it.
n’abagamba nti, “Mmwe bakulembeze mu nnyumba z’Abaleevi, era mmwe ne baganda bammwe mujja kwetukuza, mulyoke mwambuse essanduuko ya Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, okugiteeka mu kifo kye ngitegekedde.
13 For, because ye [did] it not at the first, the Lord our God made a breach among us; because we had not sought him after the prescribed manner.
Kubanga mmwe temwagisitula omulundi ogwasooka Mukama Katonda waffe kyeyava atusunguwalira, olw’obutamwebuuzaako okutegeera nga bwe kyalagibwa.”
14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord the God of Israel.
Awo bakabona n’Abaleevi ne beetukuza okulinnyisa essanduuko ya Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri.
15 And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the Lord, on their shoulders, by means of barrows placed upon them.
Abaleevi ne basitulira essanduuko ya Mukama ku bibegabega byabwe n’emisituliro gyako, nga Musa bwe yalagira, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyali.
16 And David said to the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their brethren the singers with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, to sing aloud, by lifting up the voice for joy.
Awo Dawudi n’alagira abakulembeze b’Abaleevi okulonda baganda baabwe okuba abayimbi, nga bayimba ennyimba ez’essanyu, nga bakuba ebivuga: entongooli, n’ennanga, n’ebitaasa.
17 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel, and of his brethren, Assaph the son of Berechyahu, and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushayahu;
Abaleevi ne balonda Kemani mutabani wa Yoweeri, ku baganda be ne balonda Asafu mutabani wa Berekiya, ne ku batabani ba Merali, baganda baabwe, ne balonda Esani mutabani wa Kusaya;
18 And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zecharyahu, Ben, and Ja'aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jechiel, and 'Unni, Eliab, and Benayahu, and Ma'asseyahu, and Matthithyahu, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneyahu, and 'Obed-edom, and Je'iel, the gatekeepers.
ne baganda baabwe abaabaddiriranga nga be ba Zekkaliya, ne Yaaziyeri, ne Semiramosi, ne Yeyeri, ne Unni, ne Eriyaabu, ne Benaaya, ne Maaseya, ne Mattisiya, ne Erifereku, ne Mikuneya, n’abaggazi Obededomu ne Yeyeeri,
19 Namely, the singers, Heman, Assaph, and Ethan, to play aloud with cymbals of copper;
ne Kemani, ne Asafu, ne Esani abayimbi abaalina okukuba ebitaasa eby’ebikomo;
20 And Zechariah, and 'Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jechiel, and 'Unni, and Eliab, and Ma'asseyahu, and Benayahu, with psalteries on 'Alamoth;
ne Zekkaliya, ne Aziyeri, ne Semiramosi, ne Yekyeri, ne Unni, ne Eriyaabu, ne Maaseya ne Benaya baali baakukuba entongooli ez’ekyalamosi;
21 And Matthithyahu, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneyahu, and 'Obed-edom, and Je-iel, and 'Azazyahu, with harps on the Sheminith to play as leaders.
naye Mattisiya, ne Erifereku, ne Mikuneya, ne Obededomu, ne Yeyeri, ne Azaziya baali baakukulemberamu nga bakuba ennanga ez’ekiseminisi.
22 And Kenanyahu was the chief of the Levites in conducting the singing: he instructed in conducting the singing, because he was skilful.
Kenaniya omukulembeze w’Abaleevi mu by’okuyimba, avunaanyizibwe eby’okuyimba kubanga yali mukugu mu byo.
23 And Berechyah and Elkanah were gatekeepers for the ark.
Berekiya ne Erukaana be baali abaggazi b’omulyango gw’ekifo essanduuko mw’ebeera.
24 And Shebanyahu, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and 'Amassai, and Zecharyahu, and Benayahu, and Eli'ezer, the priests, did blow on the trumpets before the ark of God; and 'Obed-edom and Jechiyah were gatekeepers for the ark.
Sebaniya, ne Yosafaati, ne Nesaneri, ne Amasayi, ne Zekkaliya, ne Benaya, ne Eryeza be bakabona abaafuuwanga amakondeere mu maaso g’essanduuko ya Katonda. Obededomu ne Yekiya n’abo baali baggazi b’omulyango gw’ekifo essanduuko mw’ebeera.
25 And it was David, with the elders of Israel, and the officers over the thousands, who went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the house of 'Obed-edom with joy.
Awo Dawudi n’abakadde aba Isirayiri, n’abaduumizi b’enkumi ne bagenda okwambusa essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama okugiggya mu nnyumba ya Obededomu nga basanyuka.
26 And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.
Olw’okubeera Katonda kwe yabeera Abaleevi abaali basitudde essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama, baawaayo sseddume z’ente musanvu ne z’endiga musanvu nga ssaddaaka.
27 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and [so were] all the Levites that carried the ark, and the singers, and Kenanyahu the chief in conducting the singing of the singers; but David had also upon him an ephod of linen.
Dawudi yali ayambadde olugoye olwa linena, ng’Abaleevi bonna abaali basitudde essanduuko, era ng’abayimbi ne Kenaniya eyali avunaanyizibwa okuyimba. Dawudi yali ayambadde n’ekkanzu eya linena.
28 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, playing aloud on psalteries and harps.
Awo Isirayiri yenna ne bambusa essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama nga baleekaana n’amaloboozi ag’essanyu, n’eddoboozi ery’eŋŋombe, ery’amakondeere, n’ebitaasa, era nga bakuba nnyo entongooli n’ennanga.
29 And it happened, as the ark of the covenant of the Lord came as far as the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked through the window, and saw king David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
Awo essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama bwe yali ng’eyingizibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi, Makali muwala wa Sawulo n’alingiza mu ddirisa, n’alaba Kabaka Dawudi ng’azina era ng’ajjaguza, n’amunyooma mu mutima gwe.
