1 Chronicles 15
1 And he makes houses for himself in the City of David, and prepares a place for the Ark of God, and stretches out a tent for it.
Fecit quoque sibi domos in Civitate David: et ædificavit locum arcæ Dei, tetenditque ei tabernaculum.
2 Then David said, “None [are] to carry the Ark of God, except the Levites, for YHWH has fixed on them to carry the Ark of God and to serve Him for all time.”
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 æternum.
3 And David assembles all Israel to Jerusalem, to bring up the Ark of YHWH to its place that he had prepared for it.
Congregavitque universum Israel in Ierusalem, ut afferretur arca Dei in locum suum, quem præparaverat ei.
4 And David gathers the sons of Aaron and the Levites—
Necnon et filios Aaron, et Levitas.
5 of sons of Kohath: Uriel the chief and one hundred and twenty of his brothers;
de filiis Caath, Uriel princeps fuit, et fratres eius centum viginti.
6 of sons of Merari: Asaiah the chief and two hundred and twenty of his brothers;
De filiis Merari, Asaia princeps: et fratres eius ducenti viginti.
7 of sons of Gershom: Joel the chief and one hundred and thirty of his brothers;
De filiis Gersom, Ioel princeps; et fratres eius centum triginta.
8 of sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah the chief and two hundred of his brothers;
De filiis Elisaphan, Semeias princeps, et fratres eius ducenti.
9 of sons of Hebron: Eliel the chief and eighty of his brothers;
De filiis Hebron, Eliel princeps; et fratres eius octoginta.
10 of sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief and one hundred and twelve of his brothers.
De filiis Oziel, Aminadab princeps: et fratres eius centum duodecim.
11 And David calls to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, and to the Levites, to 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 says to them, “You [are] heads of the fathers of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, you and your brothers, and you have brought up the Ark of YHWH, God of Israel, to [the place] 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 præparatus est:
13 because you [did] not [do it] at the first, our God YHWH made a breach on us, because we did not seek Him according to the ordinance.”
ne ut a principio, quia non eratis præsentes, percussit nos Dominus; sic et nunc fiat, illicitum quid nobis agentibus.
14 And the priests and the Levites sanctify themselves to bring up the Ark of YHWH, God of Israel;
Sanctificati sunt ergo Sacerdotes, et Levitæ, ut portarent arcam Domini Dei Israel.
15 and sons of the Levites carry the Ark of God, as Moses commanded, according to the word of YHWH, above them with poles on their shoulder.
Et tulerunt filii Levi arcam Dei, sicut præceperat Moyses iuxta verbum Domini humeris suis in vectibus.
16 And David says to the heads of the Levites to appoint their brothers the singers, with instruments of song, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, sounding, to lift up with the voice for 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 lætitiæ.
17 And the Levites appoint Heman son of Joel, and of his brothers, Asaph son of Berechiah, and of the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan son of Kushaiah;
Constitueruntque Levitas: Heman filium Ioel, et de fratribus eius Asaph filium Barachiæ: de filiis vero Merari, fratribus eorum: Ethan filium Casaiæ.
18 and with them their brothers, the seconds [in rank]: Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah; and Obed-Edom and Jeiel the gatekeepers;
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 and the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [are] to sound with cymbals of bronze;
Porro cantores, Heman, Asaph, et Ethan; in cymbalis æneis concrepantes.
20 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jeheil, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries over the girls’ [voices],
Zacharias autem, et Oziel, et Semiramoth, et Iahiel, et Ani, et Eliab, et Maasias, et Banaias in nablis arcana cantabant.
21 and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, to oversee with harps on the eighth.
Porro Mathathias, et Eliphalu, et Macenias, et Obededom, et Iehiel, et Ozaziu, in citharis pro octava canebant epinicion.
22 And Chenaniah, head of the Levites, [is] over the burden; he instructs about the burden, for he [is] intelligent.
Chonenias autem princeps Levitarum, prophetiæ præerat, ad præcinendam melodiam: erat quippe valde sapiens.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah [are] gatekeepers for the Ark.
Et Barachias, et Elcana: ianitores arcæ.
24 And Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests, are blowing with trumpets before the Ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah [are] gatekeepers 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 arcæ.
25 And it is David, and [the] elderly of Israel, and the heads of the thousands, who are going to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH from the house of Obed-Edom with joy;
Igitur David et omnes maiores natu Israel, et tribuni ierunt ad deportandam arcam fœderis Domini de domo Obededom cum lætitia.
26 and it comes to pass, in God’s helping the Levites carrying the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, that they sacrifice seven bullocks and seven rams.
Cumque adiuvisset Deus Levitas, qui portabant arcam fœderis Domini, immolabantur septem tauri, et septem arietes.
27 And David is wrapped in an upper robe of fine linen, and all the Levites who are carrying the Ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah head of the burden of the singers; and an Ephod of linen [is] on David.
Porro David erat indutus stola byssina, et universi Levitæ qui portabant arcam, cantoresque et Chonenias princeps prophetiæ inter cantores: David autem etiam indutus erat ephod lineo.
28 And all of Israel is bringing up the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH with shouting, and with the sound of a horn, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding with psalteries and harps,
Universusque Israel deducebant arcam fœderis Domini in iubilo, et sonitu buccinæ, et tubis, et cymbalis, et nablis, et citharis concrepantes.
29 and it comes to pass, the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH is entering into the City of David, and Michal daughter of Saul is looking through the window, and sees King David dancing and playing, and despises him in her heart.
Cumque pervenisset arca fœderis Domini usque ad Civitatem David, Michol filia Saul prospiciens per fenestram, vidit regem David saltantem atque ludentem, et despexit eum in corde suo.
