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.
Afei, Dawid sisii adan bebree wɔ Dawid kurom. Bio, osiesiee baabi, sii ntamadan wɔ hɔ a ɔde Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no besi.
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.”
Afei, ɔhyɛɛ se, “Sɛ yɛma Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no so de rekɔ a, obiara nni ho kwan sɛ ɔsoa bi gye Lewifo no nko ara. Awurade ayi wɔn sɛ, wɔn nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsoa Awurade Apam Adaka no na wɔsom wɔ nʼanim daa daa.”
3 And David assembles all Israel to Jerusalem, to bring up the Ark of YHWH to its place that he had prepared for it.
Dawid frɛɛ Israelfo nyinaa kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔmfa Apam Adaka no nkosi faako a wɔasiesie ama no no.
4 And David gathers the sons of Aaron and the Levites—
Eyinom ne asɔfo ne Lewifo a wɔfrɛɛ wɔn no:
5 of sons of Kohath: Uriel the chief and one hundred and twenty of his brothers;
Wɔn a wofi Kohat abusua mu no, na wɔn dodow yɛ ɔha aduonu a Uriel tua wɔn ano.
6 of sons of Merari: Asaiah the chief and two hundred and twenty of his brothers;
Wɔn a wofi Merari abusua mu no, na wɔn dodow yɛ ahannu aduonu, a Asaia da wɔn ano.
7 of sons of Gershom: Joel the chief and one hundred and thirty of his brothers;
Wɔn a wofi Gersom abusua mu no, na wɔn dodow yɛ ɔha aduasa, a Yoel da wɔn ano.
8 of sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah the chief and two hundred of his brothers;
Na Elisafan asefo yɛ ahannu a Semaia da wɔn ano.
9 of sons of Hebron: Eliel the chief and eighty of his brothers;
Na Hebron asefo yɛ aduɔwɔtwe a Eliel tua wɔn ano.
10 of sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief and one hundred and twelve of his brothers.
Na Usiel asefo yɛ ɔha ne dumien a Aminadab tua wɔn ano.
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,
Afei, Dawid frɛɛ asɔfo Sadok ne Abiatar ne saa Lewifo mpanyimfo yi: Uriel, Asaia, Yoel, Semaia, Eliel ne 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;
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo na moyɛ Lewifo mmusua mu ntuanofo. Mo ne Lewifo a wɔka mo ho nyinaa nnwira mo ho, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubetumi de Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, Apam Adaka no bɛba beae a masiesie ama no no.
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.”
Esiane sɛ kan no mo Lewifo ansoa Apam Adaka no nti, Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, abufuw sɔre tiaa yɛn. Yɛammisa Onyankopɔn ɔkwan pa a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛfa so soa.”
14 And the priests and the Levites sanctify themselves to bring up the Ark of YHWH, God of Israel;
Enti asɔfo no ne Lewifo no dwiraa wɔn ho, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobetumi de Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn Apam Adaka no akɔ Yerusalem.
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.
Na Lewifo no soaa Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no wɔ wɔn mmati so a, nnua a wɔde soa no hyehyɛ ho pɛpɛɛpɛ, sɛnea Mose hyɛɛ wɔn no.
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.
Dawid hyɛɛ Lewifo mpanyimfo no nso sɛ wɔntew Lewifo nnwontofo kuw, wɔn a wonim nnwonto, ne wɔn a wɔwɔ nnwonto ho nimdeɛ na wɔmfa mmɛnta, mmɛn, asankuten ne kyɛnkyɛn mmɛto anigye nnwom.
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;
Na Lewifo no yii Yoel babarima Heman, Berekia babarima Asaf ne Kusaia babarima Etan a wofi Merari abusua mu, ma wodii nnwontofo no anim.
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;
Woyii saa mmarima yi sɛ wɔn aboafo: Sakaria, Ben, Yaasiel, Semiramot, Yehiel, Uni, Eliab, Benaia, Maaseia, Matitia, Elifelehu, Mikneia ne apon ano ahwɛfo Obed-Edom ne Yeiel.
19 and the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [are] to sound with cymbals of bronze;
Woyii Heman, Asaf ne Etan sɛ wɔmmɔ kɔbere mfrafrae kyɛnkyɛn no.
20 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jeheil, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries over the girls’ [voices],
Woyii Sakaria, Asiel, Semiramot, Yehiel, Uni, Eliab, Maaseia ne Benaia sɛ wɔmmɔ mmɛnta no.
21 and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, to oversee with harps on the eighth.
Woyii Matitia, Elifelehu, Miknela, Obed-Edom, Yeiel ne Asasia sɛ wɔmmɔ asankuten no.
22 And Chenaniah, head of the Levites, [is] over the burden; he instructs about the burden, for he [is] intelligent.
Woyii Kenania a ɔyɛ Lewifo panyin no sɛ ɔnna nnwontokuw no ano, esiane ne nimdeɛ nti.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah [are] gatekeepers for the Ark.
Woyii Berekia ne Elkana sɛ wɔnwɛn Apam Adaka no.
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.
Sebania, Yosafat, Netanel, Amasai, Sakaria, Benaia ne Elieser a wɔn nyinaa yɛ asɔfo no na wɔbɛto santen adi Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no anim, ahyɛn ntorobɛnto no. Woyii Obed-Edom ne Yehia sɛ wɔnwɛn Apam Adaka no.
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;
Enti Dawid ne Israel mpanyimfo ne asraafo so asahene no de ahokeka a ɛso bi nni kɔɔ Obed-Edom fi sɛ wɔrekɔfa Awurade Apam Adaka no akɔ Yerusalem.
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.
Na esiane sɛ akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ Awurade ka Lewifo a wɔso Awurade Apam Adaka no ho no nti, wɔde anantwinini ason ne adwennini ason bɔɔ afɔre.
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.
Wɔhyɛɛ Dawid sirikyi atade fɛfɛ bi. Saa ara na Lewifo a wɔsoaa Apam Adaka no, nnwontofo no ne Kenania a ɔyɛ nnwontofo no kwankyerɛfo no nso yɛe. Na Dawid hyɛ asɔfo nguguso bi nso.
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,
Enti Israel nyinaa de ahokeka, osebɔ, mmɛnhyɛn ne ntorobɛntohyɛn, akasaewosow, mmɛnta ne asankutenbɔ de Awurade Apam Adaka no kɔɔ Yerusalem.
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.
Na bere a Awurade Apam Adaka no wuraa Dawid kurow mu no, Saulo babea Mikal too nʼani hwɛɛ fam, fii ne mfɛnsere mu. Bere a ohuu sɛ ɔhene Dawid resaw na ɔde anigye rehuruhuruw no, obuu no animtiaa wɔ ne koma mu.
