1 Chronicles 15
1 David [commanded his workers to] build some houses for him in Jerusalem. He also told them to set up a tent in which to put the Sacred Chest.
Daawit erga ofii isaatiif Magaalaa Daawit keessatti mana ijaarratee booddee taabota Waaqaatiif lafa qopheessee dunkaana dhaabe.
2 He said, “Only the descendants of Levi are permitted to carry God’s Sacred Chest, because they are the ones whom God chose to carry it and to serve him forever.”
Ergasiis Daawit, “Waan Waaqayyo akka isaan taabota Waaqaa baatanii bara baraan fuula isaa dura tajaajilaniif isaan filateef, Lewwota malee namni biraa taabota Waaqayyoo hin baatin” jedhee ajaje.
3 David summoned all the people of Israel to come to Jerusalem. He wanted the Sacred Chest of Yahweh to be put in the place that he had made for it.
Daawitis taabota Waaqayyoo iddoo qopheesseef sanatti fiduuf Israaʼeloota hunda Yerusaalemitti walitti qabe.
4 He summoned the descendants of Aaron, [who was the first Supreme Priest, ] and the other descendants of Levi.
Innis sanyiiwwan Aroonii fi Lewwota walitti waame; isaanis:
5 120 descendants of Kohath, who was Levi’s second son, came, with Uriel their leader.
Ilmaan Qohaati keessaa, Uuriiʼeel hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa nama 120;
6 There were 220 descendants of Merari, Levi’s third son, who came, with Asaiah their leader.
ilmaan Meraarii keessaa, Asaayaa hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa 220;
7 There were 130 descendants of Gershon, Levi’s first son, who came, with Joel their leader.
ilmaan Geershoom keessaa, Yooʼeel hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa 130;
8 There were 200 people from Elizaphan’s clan who came, with Shemaiah their leader.
ilmaan Eliisaafaan keessaa, Shemaaʼiyaa hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa 200;
9 There were 80 people from Hebron’s clan who came, with Eliel their leader.
ilmaan Kebroon keessaa, Eliiʼeel hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa 80;
10 And there were 112 people from Uzziel’s clan who came, with Amminadab their leader.
ilmaan Uziiʼeel keessaa, Amiinaadaab hoogganaa sanaa fi firoota isaa nama 112.
11 David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and these [other] descendants of Levi: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
Ergasiis Daawit luboota jechuunis Saadoqii fi Abiyaataar akkasumas Lewwota jechuunis Uuriiʼeel, Asaayaa, Yooʼeel, Shemaaʼiyaa, Eliiʼeelii fi Amiinaadaabin ni waame;
12 David said to them, “You are the leaders of the clans descended from Levi. You and the other descendants of Levi must purify yourselves, in order to [be able to do this special work for Yahweh. You must] bring the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, the God of us Israelis, up to the place that I have made for it [here in Jerusalem].
akkanas isaaniin jedhe; “Isin hangafoota maatiiwwan Lewwotaa ti; isinii fi Lewwonni akka keessanii of qulqulleessaa; ergasiis taabota Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel gara iddoo ani qopheesseefitti fidaa.
13 The first time that we tried to bring it, we did not ask Yahweh how we should carry it {it should be carried}. You [descendants of Levi] were not the ones who carried it, so Yahweh our God punished us.”
Sababii isin Lewwonni yeroo jalqabaatti taabota sana hin fidiniif Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya nutti dheekkame. Nu akka seerri ajajutti isa hin barbaaddanneetii.”
14 Then the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi [performed the rituals to] purify themselves, in order that it would be proper for them to do the work of carrying the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people.
Kanaafuu luboonnii fi Lewwonni taabota Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel sana fiduuf of qulqulleessan.
15 The descendants of Levi [inserted] the poles [into the rings on] the Sacred Chest so that with them, they could carry the Sacred Chest on their shoulders, like Moses had commanded, and like Yahweh had said that they should.
Lewwonni akkuma kan Museen dubbii Waaqayyootiin ajajetti taabota Waaqaa sana danqaraadhaan gatiittii isaaniitti ni baatan.
16 David told the leaders of the descendants of Levi to appoint some of their relatives to sing joyful songs and play lyres, harps, and cymbals [while they were carrying the Sacred Chest].
Daawitis akka isaan meeshaa muuziiqaatiin jechuunis kiraaraan, baganaa fi kililleedhaan faarfannaa gammachuu faarfataniif akka isaan obboloota isaanii muudaniif Lewwota dura deemtotatti ni hime.
17 So they appointed Heman and his relatives Asaph and Ethan. Heman was the son of Joel; Asaph was the son of Berekiah. Ethan, a descendant of Merari, was Kushaiah’s son.
Kanaafuu Lewwonni Heemaan ilma Yooʼeel muudatan; obboloota isaa keessaa immoo Asaaf ilma Berekiyaa, obboloota isaanii gosa Meraarii keessaa Eetaan ilma Qushaayaa ni muuddatan;
18 There was also another group of descendants of Levi who were appointed: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, and two of the Sacred Tent gatekeepers, Obed-Edom and Jeiel.
isaan wajjinis obboloota isaanii kanneen isaanitti aannan: Zakkaariyaas, Yaʼaziiʼeel, Shemiiraamoot, Yehiiʼeel, Unnii, Eliiyaab, Benaayaa, Maʼaseyaa, Matiitiyaa, Eliipheleehuu, Miiqneyaa, Oobeed Edoomii fi Yeʼiiʼeel eegdota balbalaa turan.
19 Heman, Asaph and Ethan sang, and also played bronze cymbals.
Faarfattoonni Heemaan, Asaafii fi Eetaan jedhaman akka kilillee naasiitiin sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii faarfannaa dhageessisaniif ni muudaman;
20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah played lyres.
Zakkaariyaas, Aziiʼeel Shemiiraamoot, Yehiiʼeel, Unnii, Eliiyaabi, Maʼaseyaanii fi Benaayaa immoo akka seera alamootiitti kiraaraan faarfatu ture;
21 Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel and Azaziah played harps.
akkasumas Matiitiyaan, Eliipheleehuu, Miiqneyaan, Oobeed Edoom, Yeʼiiʼeel, Azaaziyaan akka seera shiimiiniitiitti baganaa taphatu ture.
22 Kenaniah, the leader of the descendants of Levi, directed the singing because he was very skilled at doing that.
Kenaaniyaan hangaftichi Lewwotaa itti gaafatamaa faarfannaa ture; innis itti gaafatamummaa kana sababii ogummaa isaa qabuuf fudhate.
23 Berekiah and Elkanah were two of the men who guarded the Sacred Chest.
Berekiyaa fi Elqaanaan eegdota balbala taabotaa turan.
24 The priests Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer were appointed to blow trumpets in front of the Sacred Chest. Obed-Edom and Jehiah also guarded the Sacred Chest.
Luboonni jechuunis, Shebaniyaan, Yooshaafaaxi, Naatnaaʼel, Amaasaayi, Zakkaariyaas, Benaayaanii fi Eliiʼezer fuula taabota Waaqaa duratti malakata afuufu ture. Oobeed Edoomii fi Yehiyaan immoo eegdota balbala taabotaa turan.
25 David and the Israeli leaders and the officers who commanded 1,000 soldiers went to bring the Sacred Chest back from Obed-Edom’s house. They were very joyful as they brought it to Jerusalem.
Kanaafuu Daawitii fi maanguddoonni Israaʼel akkasumas ajajjuuwwan kumaa gammachuudhaan taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo sana mana Oobeed Edoomiitii fiduu dhaqan.
26 God helped the descendants of Levi who carried the Sacred Chest of Yahweh; therefore David and the leaders sacrificed seven bulls and seven (rams/male sheep) [to thank him].
Isaanis sababii Waaqni Lewwota taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo baatan gargaareef korommii loonii torbaa fi korbeeyyii hoolaa torba aarsaa godhan.
27 All the descendants of Levi who carried the Sacred Chest, all the singers, and Kenaniah, the man who directed those who sang, wore robes of fine white linen and sacred vests made of fine linen. David also wore a sacred vest made of white linen.
Daawitis wandaboo haphii quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame kan akka uffata Lewwonni taabota sana baatan, kan akka faarfattoonnii fi Kenaaniyaan qajeelchaan faarfannaa faarfattootaa uffatan sanaa uffatee ture. Daawitis dirata quncee talbaa irraa hojjetames uffatee ture.
28 So all of the Israeli people joined in bringing the Sacred Chest up [to Jerusalem]. They shouted [joyfully, while the musicians] blew horns and trumpets, and played cymbals, lyres, and harps.
Akkasiinis Israaʼel hundi gaanfa korbeessa hoolaatii fi malakata afuufaa, kilillee dhageessisaa, kiraaraa fi baganaadhaan sirbaa taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo sana ni fidan.
29 While they were bringing the Sacred Chest into Jerusalem, Saul’s daughter Michal watched them, looking out of a window. When she saw King David dancing and celebrating, she despised him.
Yeroo taabonni kakuu Waaqayyoo Magaalaa Daawit seenutti Miikaal intalli Saaʼol foddaa keessaan ilaalaa turte. Isheenis akka Daawit Mootichi shuubbisee gammadu yommuu argitetti garaa ishee keessatti isa tuffatte.
