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.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Dafidi ti kọ́ ilé fún ara rẹ̀ ní ìlú Dafidi. Ó sì fi ààyè sílẹ̀ fún àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run ó sì pàgọ́ fún un.
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.”
Nígbà náà Dafidi wí pé, kò sí ẹnìkan àyàfi àwọn ọmọ Lefi ni ó lè gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run, nítorí Olúwa yàn wọ́n láti gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa àti láti máa ṣe ìránṣẹ́ níwájú rẹ̀ títí láé.
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.
Dafidi kó gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jọ ní Jerusalẹmu láti gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa wá sí ibi tí ó ti pèsè sílẹ̀ fún un.
4 He summoned the descendants of Aaron, [who was the first Supreme Priest, ] and the other descendants of Levi.
Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ọmọ Aaroni àti àwọn ọmọ Lefi tí Dafidi péjọ papọ̀.
5 120 descendants of Kohath, who was Levi’s second son, came, with Uriel their leader.
Ọgọ́fà nínú àwọn ọmọ Kohati; Urieli olórí àti àwọn ẹbí rẹ̀.
6 There were 220 descendants of Merari, Levi’s third son, who came, with Asaiah their leader.
Igba ó lé ogún nínú àwọn ọmọ Merari; Asaiah olórí àti àwọn ẹbí rẹ̀.
7 There were 130 descendants of Gershon, Levi’s first son, who came, with Joel their leader.
Àádóje nínú àwọn ọmọ Gerṣoni; Joẹli olórí àti àwọn ẹbí rẹ̀.
8 There were 200 people from Elizaphan’s clan who came, with Shemaiah their leader.
Igba nínú àwọn ọmọ Elisafani; Ṣemaiah olórí àti àwọn ẹbí rẹ̀.
9 There were 80 people from Hebron’s clan who came, with Eliel their leader.
Ọgọ́rin nínú àwọn ọmọ Hebroni; Elieli olórí àti àwọn ẹbí rẹ̀.
10 And there were 112 people from Uzziel’s clan who came, with Amminadab their leader.
Méjìléláàádọ́fà nínú àwọn ọmọ Usieli; Amminadabu olórí àti àwọn ẹbí rẹ̀.
11 David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and these [other] descendants of Levi: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
Dafidi sì ránṣẹ́ pe Sadoku, Abiatari tí wọ́n jẹ́ àlùfáà, àti Urieli, Asaiah. Joẹli, Ṣemaiah, Elieli àti Amminadabu tí wọ́n jẹ́ Lefi.
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].
Ó sì fi fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ni olórí àwọn ìdílé Lefi; ẹ̀yin àti àwọn Lefi ènìyàn yín, ẹ ya ara yín sí mímọ́ kí ẹ lè gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, lọ sí ibi tí mó ti pèsè sílẹ̀ fún un.
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.”
Nítorí tí ẹ̀yin ọmọ Lefi kò gbe gòkè wá ní ìgbà àkọ́kọ́ ti Olúwa Ọlọ́run fi ìbínú rẹ̀ ko lù wá. Àwa kò sì ṣe ìwádìí lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ nípa bí a ti ń ṣe é gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ́nà tí a là sílẹ̀.”
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn Lefi ya ara wọn sí mímọ́ láti gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa gòkè wá, Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
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.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn Lefi gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run pẹ̀lú ọ̀pá ní èjìká wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mose ti pa á láṣẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
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].
Dafidi sọ fún àwọn olórí àwọn Lefi láti yan àwọn arákùnrin wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí akọrin láti kọ orin ayọ̀, pẹ̀lú àwọn ohun èlò orin olókùn, dùùrù, àti símbálì.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn Lefi yan Hemani ọmọ Joẹli; àti nínú àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, Asafu ọmọ Berekiah, àti nínú àwọn ọmọ Merari arákùnrin wọn, Etani ọmọ Kuṣaiah;
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.
àti pẹ̀lú wọn àwọn arákùnrin wọn tí a yàn bí olùrànlọ́wọ́ wọn: Sekariah, Jaasieli, Ṣemiramotu, Jehieli, Unni, Eliabu, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattitiah, Elifelehu, Mikimeiah, àti Obedi-Edomu àti Jeieli, àwọn aṣọ́bodè.
19 Heman, Asaph and Ethan sang, and also played bronze cymbals.
Àwọn akọrin sì ni Hemani, Asafu, àti Etani ti àwọn ti kimbali idẹ tí ń dún kíkan;
20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah played lyres.
Sekariah, Asieli, Ṣemiramotu, Jehieli, àti Unni, Eliabu, Maaseiah àti Benaiah àwọn tí ó gbọdọ̀ ta ohun èlò orin olókùn gẹ́gẹ́ bí alamoti,
21 Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel and Azaziah played harps.
àti Mattitiah, Elifelehu, Mikneiah, Obedi-Edomu, Jeieli àti Asasiah ni ó ní láti ta ohun èlò olóhùn gooro, láti darí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ṣeminiti.
22 Kenaniah, the leader of the descendants of Levi, directed the singing because he was very skilled at doing that.
Kenaniah olórí àwọn ará Lefi ni ó wà ní ìkáwọ́ orin èyí sì ni ojúṣe nítorí ó mòye nípa rẹ̀.
23 Berekiah and Elkanah were two of the men who guarded the Sacred Chest.
Berekiah àti Elkana ni kí ó wà gẹ́gẹ́ bí olùṣọ́nà fún àpótí ẹ̀rí.
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.
Ṣebaniah, Jehoṣafati, Netaneli, Amasai, Sekariah, Benaiah àti Elieseri ní àwọn àlùfáà, tí o ń fún ìpè níwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí Ọlọ́run. Obedi-Edomu àti Jehiah ni ó sì gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ olùṣọ́nà fún àpótí ẹ̀rí.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi àti àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli àti àwọn olórí ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún lọ láti gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí ti májẹ̀mú Olúwa láti ilé Obedi-Edomu, pẹ̀lú inú dídùn.
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].
Nítorí Ọlọ́run tì ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Lefi ẹni tí ó gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí ti májẹ̀mú Olúwa, akọ màlúù méje pẹ̀lú àgbò méje láti fi ṣé ìrúbọ.
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.
Dafidi sì wọ efodu; aṣọ ìgúnwà ọ̀gbọ̀ dáradára, àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Lefi tí ń ru àpótí ẹ̀rí náà, àti àwọn akọrin, àti Kenaniah olórí pẹ̀lú àwọn akọrin. Dafidi sì wọ aṣọ ìgúnwà funfun.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbogbo Israẹli gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí àti májẹ̀mú Olúwa gòkè wá pẹ̀lú ariwo, pẹ̀lú àyíká ìhó ayọ̀ àti láti fọn fèrè ti ìpè, àti kimbali, àti láti ta ohun èlò orin olókùn àti dùùrù olóhùn gooro.
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.
Bí àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa ti ń wọ ìlú ńlá Dafidi, Mikali ọmọbìnrin Saulu ń wò láti ojú fèrèsé nígbà tí ó sì rí ọba Dafidi ń jó, ó sì ń ṣe àjọyọ̀, ó sì kẹ́gàn rẹ̀ ní ọkàn rẹ̀.
