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.
Na ka hanga e Rawiri etahi whare mona ki te pa o Rawiri; i whakapaia ano e ia he wahi, i whakatu teneti hoki mo te aaka a te Atua.
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.
Katahi a Rawiri ka mea, E kore e pai kia kawea te aaka a te Atua e tetahi atu, engari ma nga Riwaiti; ko ratou hoki ta Ihowa i whiriwhiri ai hei mau i te aaka a te Atua, hei mahi hoki ki a ia i nga wa katoa.
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.
Na ka huihuia e Rawiri a Iharaira katoa ki Hiruharama, ki te kawe i te aaka a Ihowa ki tona wahi i whakapaia ra e ia mona.
4 And David gathered together the children of Aaron, and the Levites.
I huihuia ano e Rawiri nga tama a Arona ratou ko nga Riwaiti;
5 Of the sons of Kehath: Uriel the chief, and his brethren one hundred and twenty.
O nga tama a Kohata; ko Uriere, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina kotahi rau e rua tekau:
6 Of the sons of Merari: 'Assayah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty.
O nga tama a Merari; ko Ahaia, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina e rua rau e rua tekau:
7 Of the sons of Gershom: Joel the chief, and his brethren one hundred and thirty.
O nga tama a Kerehoma; ko Hoera, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina kotahi rau e toru tekau:
8 Of the sons of Elizaphan: Shema'yah the chief, and his brethren two hundred.
O nga tama a Eritapana; ko Hemaia, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina e rua rau:
9 Of the sons of Hebron: Eliel the chief, and his brethren eighty.
O nga tama a Heperona; ko Eriere, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina e waru tekau:
10 Of the sons of 'Uzziel: 'Amminadab the chief, and his brethren one hundred and twelve.
O nga tama a Utiere; ko Aminarapa, ko te rangatira, ratou ko ona teina kotahi rau kotahi tekau ma rua.
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,
I karangatia ano e Rawiri a Haroko raua ko Apiatara, nga tohunga, ratou ko nga Riwaiti, ko Uriere, ko Ahaia, ko Hoera, ko Hemaia, ko Eriere, ko Aminarapa,
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.
I mea ia ki a ratou, Ko koutou nga rangatira o nga whare o nga matua o nga Riwaiti: whakatapua koutou, koutou ko o koutou teina; ma koutou hoki e kawe te aaka a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira ki te wahi i whakapaia e ahau mona.
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.
No te mea hoki ehara i a koutou i kawe i te tuatahi, no reira i torere mai ai a Ihowa, to tatou Atua ki a tatou, no te mea kihai i rite ki te tikanga ta tatou rapu i a ia.
14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord the God of Israel.
Heoi kei te whakatapu nga tohunga me nga Riwaiti i a ratou, kia kawea ai e ratou te aaka a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira.
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.
Na ka amohia e nga tama a nga Riwaiti te aaka a te Atua, ka pera me ta Mohi i whakahau ai, me ta Ihowa i korero ai; ko nga amo i runga i o ratou pokohiwi.
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.
I korero ano a Rawiri ki nga rangatira o nga Riwaiti kia whakaritea o ratou teina hei kaiwaiata i runga i nga mea waiata, i nga hatere, i nga hapa, i nga himipora, he mea e rangona, he reo koa hoki e whakaarahia ana e ratou.
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;
Na ka whakaritea e nga Riwaiti, ko Hemana tama a Hoera; o ona teina hoki ko Ahapa tama a Perekia; o o ratou teina, o nga tama a Merari ko Etana tama a Kuhaia;
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.
O o ratou teina, nga tuarua, hei hoa mo ratou, ko Hakaraia, ko Pene, ko Taatiere, ko Hemiramoto, ko Tehiere, ko Uni, ko Eriapa, ko Penaia, ko Maaheia, ko Matitia, ko Eriperehe, ko Mikineia, ko Opereeroma, ko Teiere; he kaitiaki kuwaha ratou.
19 Namely, the singers, Heman, Assaph, and Ethan, to play aloud with cymbals of copper;
Na whakaritea ana ko nga kaiwaiata, ko Hemana, ko Ahapa, ko Etana, hei whakatangi i nga himipora parahi;
20 And Zechariah, and 'Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jechiel, and 'Unni, and Eliab, and Ma'asseyahu, and Benayahu, with psalteries on 'Alamoth;
Na ko Hakaraia, ko Atiere, ko Hemiramoto, ko Tehiere, ko Uni, ko Eriapa, ko Maaheia, ko Penaia, he mea i runga i nga hatere, he mea Aramoto;
21 And Matthithyahu, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneyahu, and 'Obed-edom, and Je-iel, and 'Azazyahu, with harps on the Sheminith to play as leaders.
A ko Matitia, ko Eriperehe, ko Mikineia, ko Opereeroma, ko Teiere, ko Atatia, i runga i nga hapa, he mea Heminiti, hei whakarewa.
22 And Kenanyahu was the chief of the Levites in conducting the singing: he instructed in conducting the singing, because he was skilful.
Na ko Kenania ano, ko te upoko a nga Riwaiti, hei whakahua: i whakaako ano ia ki te whakahua waiata; he mohio hoki ia.
23 And Berechyah and Elkanah were gatekeepers for the ark.
Ko Perekia raua ko Erekana nga kaitiaki tatau mo te aaka.
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.
Ko nga tohunga ano, ko Hepania, ko Iohapata, ko Netaneere, ko Amahai, ko Hakaraia, ko Penaia, ko Erietere, hei whakatangi i nga tetere ki mua i te aaka a te Atua; a ko Opereeroma raua ko Iahia nga kaitiaki tatau mo te aaka.
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.
Na haere ana a Rawiri ratou ko nga kaumatua o Iharaira, ko nga rangatira o nga mano ki te kawe i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa i te whare o Opereeroma i runga i te koa.
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.
A, ka awhina te Atua i nga Riwaiti, na ratou nei i amo te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, na ka patua e ratou te whakahere, e whitu nga puru, e whitu nga hipi toa.
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.
Na, he koroka rinena pai te kakahu o Rawiri, o nga Riwaiti katoa i amohia ai te aaka, o nga kaiwaiata, o Kenainia ano, o te rangatira o te waiata, me nga kaiwaiata hoki. He epora rinena ano to Rawiri.
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.
Na kei te kawe a Iharaira katoa i te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa, me te mahama ano ratou, me te tangi ano te koronete, te tetere, te himipora: paku ana te rongo o nga hatere, o nga hapa.
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.
Na, i te taenga o te aaka o te kawenata a Ihowa ki te pa o Rawiri, ka titiro atu a Mikara tamahine a Haora i te matapihi, ka kite i a Kingi Rawiri e kanikani ana, e takaro ana: na ka whakahawea ki a ia i roto i tona ngakau.
