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.
Tango Davidi asilisaki kotonga bandako mpo na ye moko kati na engumba ya Davidi, abongisaki esika mpo na Sanduku ya Nzambe mpe atelemisaki ndako ya kapo mpo na yango.
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.
Davidi alobaki: « Moto moko te, longola kaka Balevi, akoki komema Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Nzambe, pamba te Yawe aponaki bango mpo na komema Sanduku na Ye mpe kosala mosala na Ye mpo na libela. »
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.
Davidi asangisaki kati na Yelusalemi bana nyonso ya Isalaele mpo na komema Sanduku ya Yawe na esika oyo abongisaki mpo na yango.
4 And David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites:
Davidi asangisaki lisusu bakitani ya Aron mpe Balevi:
5 of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:
Mpo na bakitani ya Keati: mokambi Urieli elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota nkama moko na tuku mibale;
6 of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:
mpo na bakitani ya Merari: mokambi Asaya elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota nkama mibale na tuku mibale;
7 of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and thirty:
mpo na bakitani ya Gerishoni: mokambi Joeli elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, nkama moko na tuku misato;
8 of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:
mpo na bakitani ya Elitsafani: mokambi Shemaya elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, nkama mibale;
9 of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore:
mpo na bakitani ya Ebron: mokambi Elieli elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, tuku mwambe;
10 of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.
mpo na bakitani ya Uzieli: mokambi Aminadabi elongo na bandeko na ye ya libota, nkama moko na zomi na mibale.
11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,
Davidi abengaki Banganga-Nzambe Tsadoki mpe Abiatari elongo na Balevi oyo: Urieli, Asaya, Joeli, Shemaya, Elieli mpe Aminadabi.
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.
Alobaki na bango: « Bozali bakambi ya mabota ya Balevi, bino elongo na bandeko ya mabota na bino; bomipetola mpo na komema Sanduku ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, na esika oyo nabongisi mpo na yango.
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.
Pamba te lokola bino Balevi bozalaki te na mbala ya liboso, yango wana Yawe, Nzambe na biso, asilikelaki biso makasi; pamba te totunaki Ye te ndenge nini tokokaki komema yango kolanda mibeko. »
14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Boye, Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi bamipetolaki mpo na komema Sanduku ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
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.
Bongo Balevi bamemaki na banzete Sanduku ya Nzambe na mapeka na bango ndenge kaka Moyize atindaki, kolanda Liloba na Yawe.
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.
Davidi alobaki na bakambi ya Balevi ete bapona, kati na bandeko na bango, bayembi mpo na koyemba banzembo ya esengo, na bibetelo mindule: nzenze, lindanda mpe manzanza.
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;
Balevi baponaki Emani, mwana mobali ya Joeli; Azafi, mwana mobali ya Berekia, kati na bandeko na ye ya mibali; Etani, mwana mobali ya Kushaya, kati na bana ya Merari, na bandeko na ye ya mibali.
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.
Mpe mpo na kosunga bango, baponaki Balevi mosusu: Zakari, Beni, Yazieli, Shemiramoti, Yeyeli, Uni, Eliabi, Benaya, Maaseya, Matitia, Elifele, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomi mpe Yeyeli. Bango nyonso bazalaki bakengeli bikuke.
19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [were appointed], with cymbals of brass to sound aloud;
Babeti miziki: Emani, Azafi mpe Etani; bango bazalaki kobeta manzanza oyo basala na bronze.
20 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries set to Alamoth;
Zakari, Azieli, Shemiramoti, Yeyeli, Uni, Eliabi, Maaseya mpe Benaya; bango bazalaki kobeta nzenze na mongongo ya soprano.
21 and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps set to the Sheminith, to lead.
Matitia, Elifele, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomi, Yeyeli mpe Azazia; bango bazalaki kobeta mandanda ya basinga mwambe mpo na kotambolisa banzembo.
22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful.
Kenania, mokambi ya Balevi, aponamaki mpo na kotambolisa banzembo; pamba te ayebaki mosala yango malamu.
23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.
Berekia mpe Elikana, bazalaki bakengeli ya Sanduku ya Boyokani.
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.
Banganga-Nzambe Shebania, Jozafati, Netaneeli, Amasayi, Zakari, Benaya mpe Eliezeri; bazalaki kobeta kelelo liboso ya Sanduku ya Nzambe. Obedi-Edomi mpe Yeyiya bazalaki mpe bakengeli Sanduku ya Boyokani.
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:
Davidi, bakambi ya Isalaele mpe bakonzi ya basoda nkoto moko bakendeki kozwa na esengo Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe wuta na ndako ya Obedi-Edomi.
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.
Mpe mpo ete Yawe asunga Balevi oyo bazalaki komema Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, babonzaki lokola mbeka bangombe sambo ya mibali mpe bameme sambo ya mibali.
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.
Davidi elongo na Balevi nyonso oyo bazalaki komema Sanduku ya Boyokani, bayembi mpe Kenania, mokambi ya bayembi: bango nyonso balataki banzambala ya lino ya talo. Kasi Davidi abakisaki lisusu efode ya lino na likolo.
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.
Bato nyonso ya Isalaele bamemaki Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe na kobeta milolo ya esengo, na kobeta maseke, bakelelo, manzanza, banzenze mpe mandanda.
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.
Tango Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe ekotaki na engumba ya Davidi, Mikali, mwana mwasi ya Saulo, azalaki kotala wuta na lininisa; mpe tango amonaki mokonzi Davidi kopumbwa mpe kobina na esengo, ayinaki ye kati na motema na ye.
