1 Chronicles 15
1 And [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.
Mgbe Devid wuchara ụlọ obibi ya nʼobodo Devid, o doziri ebe a ga-adọsa igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke. Ọ mara ụlọ ikwu maka ya.
2 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever.
Devid kwuru sị, “O nweghị onye ọbụla ga-ebu igbe Chineke karịakwa ndị Livayị, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị họpụtara ha ibu igbe Onyenwe anyị na ije ozi nʼihu Onyenwe anyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
3 And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto its place, which he had prepared for it.
Ya mere, Devid kpọkọtara ndị Izrel niile, na Jerusalem ibubata igbe Onyenwe anyị nʼebe ahụ ọ kwadoro na a ga-adọsa ya.
4 And David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites:
Ọ kpọkọtara ụmụ Erọn na ndị Livayị:
5 of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:
Ndị Kohat na ụmụnna ha dị otu narị na iri abụọ. Uriel bụ onyeisi ha.
6 of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:
Ụmụ Merari na ụmụnna ha dị narị abụọ na iri abụọ. Asaya bụ onyeisi ha.
7 of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and thirty:
Ụmụ Geshọm na ụmụnna ha dị otu narị na iri atọ. Juel bụ onyeisi ha.
8 of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:
Ụmụ Elizafan na ụmụnna ha dị narị abụọ. Shemaya bụ onyeisi ha.
9 of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore:
Ụmụ Hebrọn na ụmụnna ha dị iri asatọ. Eliel bụ onyeisi ha.
10 of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.
Ụmụ Uziel na ụmụnna ha dị otu narị na iri na abụọ. Aminadab bụ onyeisi ha.
11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,
Devid kpọrọ Zadọk na Abịata, ndị nchụaja na Uriel, Asaya, Juel, Shemaya, Eliel, na Aminadab ndị Livayị sị ha,
12 and said unto them, Ye are the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, unto [the place] that I have prepared for it.
“Unu bụ ndịisi ezinaụlọ dị iche iche, nʼebo Livayị. Doonụ onwe unu nsọ unu na ụmụnna unu ibulata igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel nʼebe a m doziri nʼihi ya.
13 For because ye [bare it] not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not according to the ordinance.
Na mbụ, Onyenwe anyị Chineke tara anyị ahụhụ nʼihi na anyị esoghị omenaala ime ka unu bụ ndị Livayị buru ya. Anyị ajụtaghị ya ase otu a ga-esi bulata ya nʼụzọ o kwesiri.”
14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Ya mere, ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị mezuru omenaala ido onwe ha nsọ maka ibulata igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel ahụ.
15 And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.
Ndị Livayị jiri osisi ogologo buru igbe Chineke ahụ nʼisi ubu aka ha dịka Mosis nyere nʼiwu nʼusoro dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị si dị.
16 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren the singers, with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up the voice with joy.
Devid nyekwara ndị ndu Livayị iwu sị ka ha họpụta site nʼetiti ụmụnna ha ndị abụ na ndị egwu, ndị ga-abụ abụ ọṅụ, nke ya na ngwa egwu ndị a ga-eso: ụbọ akwara, une na ogene.
17 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;
Ndị Livayị họpụtara Heman nwa Juel; ma site nʼetiti ụmụnna Juel ha họpụtara Asaf, nwa Berekaya. Sitekwa nʼetiti ụmụnna ha ndị Merari ha họpụtara Etan nwa Kushaya,
18 and with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers.
tinyere ndị a, ha họpụtara ụmụnna ha ndị a, ndị na-esote ha nʼọkwa: Zekaraya, Jaaziel, Shemiramot, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaya, Maaseia, Matitaia, Elifelehu, Mikneya, Obed-Edọm na Jeiel bụ ndị na-eche ọnụ ụzọ.
19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [were appointed], with cymbals of brass to sound aloud;
Heman, Asaf na Etan ka a họpụtara maka ịkụ ogene bronz.
20 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries set to Alamoth;
Zekaraya na Aziel, Shemiramot, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseia na Benaya bụ ndị na-akpọ ụbọ akwara dịka usoro abụ alamot, si dị
21 and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps set to the Sheminith, to lead.
Matitaia, Elifelehu, Mikneya, Obed-Edọm, Jeiel na Azazaya bụkwa ndị na-akpọ une dịka usoro abụ Sheminit si dị.
22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful.
Onyeisi ndị na-abụ abụ a họpụtara bụ Kenaniya, onye bụkwa onyeisi ndị Livayị. A họpụtara ya nʼihi na ọ bụ onye nwere nghọta banyere abụ.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.
Berekaya na Elkena bụ ndị na-eche ọnụ ụzọ ebe igbe ahụ dị.
24 And Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.
Shebanaya, Joshafat, Netanel, Amasai, Zekaraya, Benaya na Elieza, ndị bụ ndị nchụaja bụ ndị na-afụ opi nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke. Obed-Edọm na Jehaya ga-esokwa ndị ga-eche ọnụ ụzọ ebe igbe ahụ dị nche.
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:
Devid na ndị okenye Izrel, na ndịisi agha na-achị puku ndị agha, ji oke ọṅụ gaa nʼụlọ Obed-Edọm nʼihi ibugote igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ.
26 And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they sacrificed seven bullocks and seven rams.
Nʼihi na Chineke nyeere ndị Livayị na-ebu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị aka, ọ bụ oke ehi asaa na ebule asaa ka a chụrụ nʼaja.
27 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song [with] the singers: and David had upon him an ephod of linen.
Ọ bụ ezi akwa ọcha ka e ji kee Devid ekike, dịka ndị Livayị niile bụ ndị bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, na ndị ọbụ abụ, na Kenaniya, bụ onyeisi otu ndị na-abụ abụ yi akwa ọcha nʼahụ ha. Devid yikwa uwe efọọd e ji akwa ọcha dụọ.
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 psalteries and harps.
Ya mere, ndị Izrel niile ji iti mkpu, na-ịfụ opi mpi ebule na-ịfụ opi ike, ịkpọ ụbọ akwara, ịkụ ogene na une, bulata igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị.
29 And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart.
Mgbe ha bu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị na-abata nʼobodo Devid, Mikal nwa Sọl, lepụrụ anya site na oghereikuku ụlọ. Mgbe ọ hụrụ eze Devid ka ọ na-ayọrị egwu na-aṅụrị ọṅụ, o ledara ya anya nʼime obi ya.
