1 Chronicles 15
1 And he made him houses, in the city of David, —and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.
Davide atadzimangira nyumba zina mu Mzinda wa Davide, iye anakonza malo a Bokosi la Mulungu ndipo analimangira tenti.
2 Then, said David, None must carry the ark of God, save the Levites, —for, of them, did Yahweh make choice, to bear the ark of Yahweh, and to attend it, unto times age-abiding.
Pamenepo Davide anati, “Palibe wina ati anyamule Bokosi la Mulungu koma Alevi chifukwa Yehova anawasankha kuti azinyamula Bokosi la Yehova ndi kumatumikira pamaso pake nthawi zonse.”
3 So David convoked all Israel, unto Jerusalem, —to bring up the ark of Yahweh, unto the place thereof, which he had prepared for it.
Davide anasonkhanitsa Aisraeli onse mu Yerusalemu kuti abweretse Bokosi la Yehova ku malo amene analikonzera.
4 And David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites:
Iye anayitanitsa pamodzi zidzukulu za Aaroni ndi Alevi:
5 Of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brethren, one hundred and twenty;
kuchokera ku banja la Kohati, mtsogoleri Urieli ndi abale ake 120.
6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brethren, two hundred and twenty;
Kuchokera ku banja la Merari, mtsogoleri Asaya ndi abale ake 220;
7 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brethren, one hundred and thirty;
kuchokera ku banja la Geresomu, mtsogoleri Yoweli ndi abale ake 130;
8 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren, two hundred;
kuchokera ku banja la Elizafani, mtsogoleri Semaya ndi abale ake 200;
9 of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brethren, eighty;
kuchokera ku banja la Hebroni, mtsogoleri Elieli ndi abale ake 80;
10 of the son of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and twelve.
kuchokera ku banja la Uzieli, mtsogoleri Aminadabu ndi abale ake 112.
11 Then called David, for Zadok and for Abiathar, the priests, —and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah and Joel, Shemaiah and Eliel, and Amminadab;
Kenaka Davide anayitanitsa ansembe Zadoki ndi Abiatara, ndi Alevi awa, Urieli, Asaya, Yoweli, Semaya, Elieli ndi Aminadabu.
12 and said unto them, Ye, are the chiefs of the fathers of the Levites, —Hallow yourselves, ye and your brethren, so shall ye bring up the ark of Yahweh—God of Israel, into [the place] I have prepared for it.
Iye anawawuza kuti, “Inu ndinu atsogoleri a mabanja a Alevi ndipo inu ndi abale anu Alevi mudziyeretse nokha ndi kubweretsa Bokosi la Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli ku malo amene ine ndalikonzera.
13 Because, at the first, ye, did not [bring it], Yahweh our God brake forth against us, because we sought him not in the appointed way.
Popeza kuti inu Alevi simunalinyamule poyamba paja, Yehova Mulungu wathu anatikantha. Sitinafunse momwe tikanachitira monga mmene Iyeyo anafotokozera.”
14 So the priests and the Levites hallowed themselves, —to bring up the ark of Yahweh, God of Israel.
Kotero ansembe ndi Alevi anadziyeretsa ndi cholinga chakuti akatenge Bokosi la Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli.
15 And the sons of the Levites bare the ark of God, just as Moses commanded, according to the word of Yahweh, —on their shoulder, with the staves upon them.
Ndipo Alevi ananyamula Bokosi la Mulungu pa mapewa awo pa mitengo yake yonyamulira monga momwe Mose analamulira molingana ndi mawu a Yehova.
16 And David spake to the chiefs of the Levites, to station their brethren the singers, with instruments of song, harps and lyres, and cymbals, —sounding aloud at the lifting up of the voice, for joy.
Davide anawuza atsogoleri a Alevi kuti asankhe abale awo kuti akhale oyimba nyimbo zachisangalalo, zoyimba ndi zida: azeze, apangwe ndi ziwaya za malipenga.
17 So the Levites caused to stand, Heman son of Joel, and, of his brethren, Asaph, son of Berechiah, —and, of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan, son of Kushaiah;
Kotero Alevi anasankha Hemani mwana wa Yoweli; ndipo mwa abale ake anasankha Asafu mwana wa Berekiya; ndipo mwa ana a Merari, abale awo, anasankha Etani mwana wa Kusaya;
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 Mickneiah, and Obed-edom and Jeiel, the door-keepers.
ndipo pamodzi ndi iwowa abale awo otsatana nawo: Zekariya, Yaazieli, Semiramoti, Yehieli, Uni, Eliabu, Benaya, Maaseya, Matitiya, Elifelehu, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomu ndi Yeiyeli, alonda a pa chipata.
19 And, the singers, Heman, Asaph and Ethan, with cymbals of bronze, were to sound aloud;
Anthu oyimba aja Hemani, Asafu ndi Etani ndiwo ankayimba ziwaya za malipenga zamkuwa;
20 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah and Benaiah, —with harps, over the trebles;
Zekariya, Azieli, Semiramoti, Yehieli, Uni, Eliabu, Maaseya ndi Benaya ankayimba azeze a liwu lokwera;
21 and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel and Azaziah, —with lyres over the bass, to take the lead.
ndipo Matitiya, Elifelehu, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomu, Yeiyeli ndi Azaziya ankayimba apangwe a liwu lotsika.
22 And, Chenaniah the leader of the Levites, in the service, used to give instructions in the service, because skilful was he.
Kenaniya, mtsogoleri wa Alevi anali woyangʼanira mayimbidwe; uwu ndiye unali udindo wake pakuti anali waluso pa zimenezi.
23 And, Berechiah and Elkanah, were door-keepers to the ark.
Berekiya ndi Elikana anali olondera pa khomo la bokosilo.
24 And, Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, were blowing with the trumpets, before the ark of God, —and, Obed-edom and Jehiah, were door-keepers, to the ark.
Ansembe awa; Sebaniya, Yehosafati, Netaneli, Amasai, Zekariya, Benaya ndi Eliezara ndiwo ankayimba malipenga patsogolo pa Bokosi la Mulungu. Obedi-Edomu ndi Yehiya analinso alonda a pa khomo la bokosilo.
25 Thus, it was, David and the elders of Israel, and the rulers of thousands, who were going, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, out of the house of Obed-edom, with joy.
Choncho Davide pamodzi ndi akuluakulu a Israeli ndiponso asilikali olamulira magulu a anthu 1,000, anapita kukatenga Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova ku nyumba ya Obedi-Edomu akukondwera.
26 And so it was that, when God helped the Levites, who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, they sacrificed seven bullocks and seven rams.
Popeza Mulungu anathandiza Alevi amene ananyamula Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova, anapereka nsembe ngʼombe zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri ndiponso nkhosa zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri.
27 Now, David, was wrapped about with a robe of byssus, with all the Levites who were bearing the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the leader of the service rendered by the singers, —but, upon David, was an ephod of white linen.
Ndipo Davide anali atavala mkanjo wa nsalu yofewa yosalala, monga anavalira Alevi onse amene ananyamula bokosi pamodzi anthu oyimba, ndiponso Kenaniya, amene anali woyangʼanira magulu oyimba. Davide anavalanso efodi ya nsalu yofewa yosalala.
28 So, all Israel, were bringing up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, with shouting, and with sound of the horn, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, —sounding aloud, with harps, and lyres.
Kotero Aisraeli onse anabweretsa Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova ndi mfuwu, ndiponso akuyimba zitoliro zanyanga zankhosa zazimuna, malipenga ndi maseche ndiponso akuyimba azeze ndi apangwe.
29 And so it was that, when the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came in as far as the city of David, —and Michal daughter of Saul looked forth through the window, and saw King David, dancing and playing, that she despised him in her heart.
Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova likulowa mu Mzinda wa Davide, Mikala mwana wamkazi wa Sauli ankaona ali pa zenera. Ndipo ataona Mfumu Davide ikuvina ndi kukondwera, iye ananyoza Davideyo mu mtima mwake.
