1 Chronicles 15
1 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, "No one ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites. For the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of God, and to minister to him forever."
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 David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it.
Congregavitque universum Israel in Ierusalem, ut afferretur arca Dei in locum suum, quem praeparaverat ei.
4 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 brothers one hundred twenty;
de filiis Caath, Uriel princeps fuit, et fratres eius centum viginti.
6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred twenty;
De filiis Merari, Asaia princeps: et fratres eius ducenti viginti.
7 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers one hundred thirty;
De filiis Gersom, Ioel princeps; et fratres eius centum triginta.
8 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred;
De filiis Elisaphan, Semeias princeps, et fratres eius ducenti.
9 of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brothers eighty;
De filiis Hebron, Eliel princeps; et fratres eius octoginta.
10 of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brothers one hundred twelve.
De filiis Oziel, Aminadab princeps: et fratres eius centum duodecim.
11 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 to them, "You are the heads of the ancestral houses of the Levites. Sanctify yourselves, both you and your brothers, that you may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, to 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 you were not prepared the first time, the LORD our God made an outbreak against us, because we did not seek him 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 The descendants of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles 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 David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers the singers, with instruments of music, stringed instruments 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 brothers, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brothers, 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 brothers of the second degree, Zechariah, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah were 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 given cymbals of bronze to sound aloud;
Porro cantores, Heman, Asaph, et Ethan; in cymbalis aeneis concrepantes.
20 and Zechariah, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with stringed instruments 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 Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps tuned to the eight-stringed lyre, to lead.
Porro Mathathias, et Eliphalu, et Macenias, et Obededom, et Iehiel, et Ozaziu, in citharis pro octava canebant epinicion.
22 Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the song: he instructed about the song, because he was skillful.
Chonenias autem princeps Levitarum, prophetiae praeerat, ad praecinendam melodiam: erat quippe valde sapiens.
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.
Et Barachias, et Elcana: ianitores arcae.
24 Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, blew 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 It happened, when God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
Cumque adiuvisset Deus Levitas, qui portabant arcam foederis Domini, immolabantur septem tauri, et septem arietes.
27 David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites who bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: and David had on 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 cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with stringed instruments and harps.
Universusque Israel deducebant arcam foederis Domini in iubilo, et sonitu buccinae, et tubis, et cymbalis, et nablis, et citharis concrepantes.
29 It happened, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the City of David, that Mikal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; 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.
