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.

Siden byggede han sig Huse i Davidsbyen og beredte Guds Ark et Sted, idet han rejste den et Telt

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.

Ved den Lejlighed sagde David: "Ingen andre end Leviterne må bære Guds Ark, thi dem har HERREN udvalgt til at bære Guds Ark og til at gøre Tjeneste for ham til evig Tid."

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.

Og David samlede hele Israel i Jerusalem for at føre HERRENs Ark op til det Sted, han havde beredt den.

4 And David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites:

Og David samlede Arons Sønner og Leviterne:

5 Of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brethren, one hundred and twenty;

Af Kehatiterne Øversten Uriel og hans Brødre, 120;

6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brethren, two hundred and twenty;

af Merariterne Øversten Asaja og hans Brødre, 220;

7 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brethren, one hundred and thirty;

af Gersoniterne Øversten Joel og hans Brødre, 130;

8 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren, two hundred;

af Elizafans Sønner Øversten Sjemaja og hans Brødre, 200;

9 of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brethren, eighty;

af Hebrons Sønner Øversten Eliel og hans Brødre, 80;

10 of the son of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and twelve.

af Uzziels Sønner Øversten Amminadab og hans Brødre, 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;

Så lod David Præsterne Zadok og Ebjatar og Leviterne Uriel, Asaja, Joel, Sjemaja, Eliel og Amminadab kalde

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.

og sagde til dem: "I er Overhoveder for Leviternes Fædrenehuse; helliger eder tillige med eders Brødre og før HERRENs, Israels Guds, Ark op til det Sted, jeg har beredt den;

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.

det var jo, fordi I ikke var med første Gang, at HERREN vor Gud tilføjede os et Brud; thi vi søgte ham ikke på rette Måde."

14 So the priests and the Levites hallowed themselves, —to bring up the ark of Yahweh, God of Israel.

Så helligede Præsferne og Leviterne sig for at føre HERRENs, Israels Guds, Ark op;

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.

og Levis Sønner løftede med Bærestængerne Guds Ark op på Skuldrene, som Moses havde påbudt efter HERRENS Ord.

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.

Fremdeles bød David Leviternes Øverster at lade deres Brødre Sangerne stille sig op med Musikinstrumenter, Harper, Citre og Cymbler og lade høje Jubeltoner klinge.

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;

Så lod Leviterne Heman, Joels Søn, og af hans Brødre Asaf, Berekjas Søn, og af deres Brødre Merariterne Etan, Husjajas Søn, stille sig op

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.

og ved Siden af dem deres Brødre af anden Rang Zekarja, Uzziel, Sjemiramot, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaja, Ma'aseja, Mattitja, Elipelehu og Miknejahu og Dørvogterne Obed-Edom og Je'iel;

19 And, the singers, Heman, Asaph and Ethan, with cymbals of bronze, were to sound aloud;

Sangerne Heman, Asaf og Etan skulde spille på Kobbercymbler,

20 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah and Benaiah, —with harps, over the trebles;

Zekarja, Uzziel, Sjemiramot, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Ma'aseja og Benaja på Harper al-alamot;

21 and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel and Azaziah, —with lyres over the bass, to take the lead.

Mattitja, Elipelehu, Miknejahu, Obed-Edom og Je'iel skulde lede Sangen med Citre al-hassjeminit;

22 And, Chenaniah the leader of the Levites, in the service, used to give instructions in the service, because skilful was he.

Konanja, Leviternes Øverste over dem, der bar, skulde lede disse, da han forstod sig derpå;

23 And, Berechiah and Elkanah, were door-keepers to the ark.

Berekja og Elkana skulde være Dørvogtere ved Arken;

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.

Præsterne Sjebanja, Josjafat, Netan'el, Amasaj, Zekarja, Benaja og Eliezer skulde blæse i Trompeterne foran Guds Ark; og Obed-Edom og Jehija skulde være Dørvogtere ved Arken.

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.

Derpå drog David, Israels Ældste og Tusindførerne hen for under Festglæde at lade HERRENs Pagts Ark bringe op fra Obed-Edoms Hus,

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.

og da Gud hjalp Leviterne, der har HERRENs Pagts Ark, ofrede man syv Tyre og syv Vædre.

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.

David har en fin linned Kappe, ligeledes alle Leviterne, der har Arken, og Sangerne og Konanja, som ledede dem, der bar. Og David var iført en linned Efod.

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.

Og hele Israel bragte HERRENs Pagts Ark op under Festjubel og til Hornets, Trompeternes og Cymblernes Klang, under Harpe- og Citerspil.

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.

Men da HERRENs Pagts Ark kom til Davidsbyen, så Sauls Datter Mikal ud af Vinduet, og da hun så Kong David springe og danse, ringeagtede hun ham i sit Hjerte.
