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.
Ary Davida nanao trano ho azy tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida sady namboatra fitoerana sy nanorin-day ho an’ ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra.
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.
Ary tamin’ izay dia hoy Davida: Tsy misy tokony hitondra ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra afa-tsy ny Levita ihany, satria izy no efa nofidin’ i Jehovah hitondra ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra sy hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho Azy mandrakizay.
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.
Dia novorin’ i Davida tany Jerosalema ny Isiraely rehetra hampakatra ny fiaran’ i Jehovah ho any amin’ ny fitoerana izay namboariny ho azy.
4 And David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites:
Ary novorin’ i Davida ny taranak’ i Arona sy ny Levita:
5 Of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brethren, one hundred and twenty;
tamin’ ny taranak’ i Kehata dia Oriela lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny roa-polo amby zato;
6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brethren, two hundred and twenty;
tamin’ ny taranak’ i Merary dia Asaia lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny roa-polo amby roan-jato;
7 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brethren, one hundred and thirty;
tamin’ ny taranak’ i Gersona dia Joela lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny telo-polo amby zato;
8 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren, two hundred;
tamin’ ny taranak’ i Elizafana dia Semaia lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny roan-jato;
9 of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brethren, eighty;
tamin’ ny taranak’ i Hebrona dia Eliala lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny valo-polo,
10 of the son of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and twelve.
tamin’ ny taranak’ i Oziela dia Aminadaba lehibeny sy ny rahalahiny roa ambin’ ny folo amby zato.
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;
Ary Davida niantso an’ i Zadoka sy Abiatara mpisorona sy ny Levita, dia Oriela sy Asaia sy Joela sy Semaia sy Eliala ary Aminadaba,
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.
ka nanao taminy hoe: Hianareo lohan’ ny fianakavian’ ny Levita, hamasino ny tenanareo, dia ianareo sy ny rahalahinareo, mba hampakaranareo ny fiaran’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, ho ao amin’ ilay namboariko ho azy.
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.
Satria tsy ianareo no tamin’ ilay teo, dia nasian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika isika, fa tsy nitady Azy araka ny voadidy.
14 So the priests and the Levites hallowed themselves, —to bring up the ark of Yahweh, God of Israel.
Dia nanamasina ny tenany ny mpisorona sy ny Levita hampakatra ny fiaran’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
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.
Ary ny Levita nilanja ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny hazo, tahaka ny nandidian’ i Mosesy araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
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.
Ary ireo lehiben’ ny Levita dia nasain’ i Davida nanendry ny mpihira rahalahiny hitondra ny zava-maneno, dia ny valiha sy ny lokanga ary hampaneno ny kipantsona, mba hanandra-peo amin’ ny fifaliana.
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;
Ka dia notendren’ ny Levita Hemana, zanak’ i Joela; ary tamin’ ny rahalahiny dia Asafa, zanak’ i Berekia; ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Merary rahalahiny dia Etana, zanak’ i Kosaia;
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.
ary naman’ ireo ihany koa ny rahalahiny manarakaraka, dia Zakaria sy Bena sy Jaziela sy Semiramota sy Jehiela sy Ony sy Eliaba sy Benaia sy Mahaseia sy Matitia sy Elifeleho sy Mikneia sy Obed-edoma ary Jeiela, mpiandry varavarana.
19 And, the singers, Heman, Asaph and Ethan, with cymbals of bronze, were to sound aloud;
Ary Hemana sy Asafa ary Etana mpihira dia nasaina nitondra kipantsona varahina hampanenoina.
20 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah and Benaiah, —with harps, over the trebles;
Ary Zakaria sy Aziela sy Semiramota sy Jehiela sy Ony sy Eliaba sy Mahaseia sy Benaia no nasaina nitendry valiha tamin’ ny Alamota.
21 and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel and Azaziah, —with lyres over the bass, to take the lead.
Ary Matitia sy Elifeleho sy Mikneia sy Obed-edoma sy Jeiela ary Azazia no nasaina nitendry ny lokanga tamin’ ny Seminita ho mpitarika.
22 And, Chenaniah the leader of the Levites, in the service, used to give instructions in the service, because skilful was he.
Ary Kenania, lehiben’ ny Levita, no tonian’ ny fitondrana; ary nampianatra ny fitondrana izy, fa nahay.
23 And, Berechiah and Elkanah, were door-keepers to the ark.
Ary Berekia sy Elikana no mpiandry varavarana amin’ ny fiara.
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.
Ary Sebania sy Josafata sy Netanela sy Amasay sy Zakaria sy Benaia ary Eliezera, izay samy mpisorona, no nitsoka ny trompetra teo alohan’ ny fiaran’ Andriamanitra, ary Obed-edoma sy Jehia koa no mpiandry varavarana amin’ ny fiara.
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.
Ary Davida sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely mbamin’ ny mpifehy arivo no nandeha hampakatra ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah avy tao an-tranon’ i Obed-edoma tamin’ ny fifaliana.
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.
Ary rehefa nomban’ Andriamanitra ny Levita izay nilanja ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, dia namono vantotr’ ombilahy fito sy ondrilahy fito hatao fanatitra izy.
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.
Ary niakanjo akanjo rongony fotsy madinika Davida, ary niakanjo toy izany koa ny Levita rehetra izay nitondra ny fiara ary ny mpihira sy Kenania, tonian’ ny fitondrana, mbamin’ ny mpihira; ary Davida nisalotra efoda rongony fotsy koa.
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.
Toy izany no nampakaran’ ny Isiraely rehetra ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny fihobiana sy ny feon’ ny anjomara sy ny trompetra ary ny kipantsona sy tamin’ ny fitendrena ny valiha sy ny lokanga.
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.
Ary nony tonga tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, dia nitsirika teo am-baravarankely Mikala, zanakavavin’ i Saoly, ka nahita an’ i Davida mpanjaka nibitaka sy nitsinjaka; ka dia nikizaka azy tao am-pony izy.
